GRASS VALLEY, Nov. 9.—Hundreds of miners in this city and district were thrown out of employment this morning | when all the big mines were forced to re- duce their working forces owing to a water famine. The shut-down had been impending for weeks, as the South Yuba ‘Water Company’'s big reservoir in the: high Sierras has been gradually drained in the absence of rains. Its supply finally became so low that this morning its rep- resentative, after a conference with the | leading mining superintendents here, is- sued an order allowing the mines ohly enough water to run the mills about half | time. Some of the mills have closed en- | tirely and it is said if conditions do not improve every mine in this district will be forced to stop within a week. The situation s very grave as a thousand men are employed in the mines here. This city is also running short of water and | evéry drop Is being husbanded. The sea- | son is the driest in fifty years. The mines | in Nevada City district closed some ‘days Crea Carload of Dry Goods Way tes Big Bargains at Pragers Under Price fogiOn the 8th of October a carload of Dry Goods consigned to the well-known house of LEVI STRAUSS & CO., this city, was badly wrecked on the Sunset Line 'somewhere in the vicinity of El Paso, Texas.

But the grocer told his tale so rapidly and withal so intelligibly that the officer was in complete possession of the facts and in pursuit of the thief ere the lat- ter had fairly disappeared. ‘When the policeman scurried around | the corner he saw a milk can rolling | on the street and a man standing upon the sidewalk and apparently consulting | the heavens. Without hesitancy the | sleuth collared the man and accused him of having stolen the can, a por- tion of the late contents of which was then dribbling from his mouth corners and dripping upon his tattered coat. But the man stoutly: affirmed that he | had never touched the can in question and laughed scornfully when the grocer identified him as the piiferer. “You say he was ‘drooling’ milk?” Judge Conlan asked the policeman. | “Two streams of it were running down his jaws,’ was the reply, “W'at d'ye think I'd want t' drink milk f'r?” inquired the defendant, booked as James Kelly. “I ain’t no kid, am I?” “The court does not suspect for a mo- ment that milk is your steady tipple,” said the Judge; “but “there is no get- ting away from the evidence that you had been drinking milk when this of- ficer nabbed you. The grocer’s identi- fication of you as the person whom he saw pick up the can and run is suf- ficient to prove your guilt and your ‘drooling’ clinches it. Sentence to- morrow R. Ridley Morgan, a youth of decidedly assertive manner, attempted to drive a horse and wagon over the rope barrier inclosing the charred Caronicle building, and when Patrolmen Seguine and Hyland requested him to desist he deluged them with oral abuse until they arrested him for peace disturbance. “They exaggerate the offensiveness of my language,’ was the defensive plea. “I did not call them impudent Micks, but { merely ignorant officers.” “You're from the East, I presume?” said Judge Mogan, interrogatively. “Came here a month ago from Pennsyl- vania,” was the response. “From Quakerdom, eh? Well, at least a year’s unbroken stay in San Franclsco 1s required to civilize the immigrant from the wild and woolly Atlantic seaboard. Eleven months from this day you will be ashamed of the canduct that provoked your arrest. Sentence to-morrow.” . v John Dougherty, an adolescent hoodlum with hat brim tilted downward from his brow and cigarette tilted upward from his mouth, removed neither of these dis- tinguishing signs of “toughness” when he entered Judge Conlan's court and swag- gered to the prisoners’ cage. Nodding familiarly to one of the inmates, Harry ‘Wilson, accused of burglary, he extended through the bars a package of ciglirettes and said: T . “Help yerself, kid.” Mr. Wilson modestly extracted ©ne smoke from the proffered bunch, where- upon Mr. Dougherty exclaimed in a tone that rang: “What's de matter wid ye? Don’t be so stingy t' yerself! Take de whole cheese!” Bailiff Laws was first to emerge from the trance of amazement Into which the entire court had been cast by Mr. Dough- erty’s extraordinary display of disrespect, and next instant the brawny ‘officer and the author of the were locked | ach pump. HOME-MADE STOMACH PUMP PROVES SUCCESS Pieces of Pork Attached to|§ | Strings and Swallowed Save Two Lives, Special Dispatch to The Call. FREELAND, Pa., made stomach pump, invented on the spur | of the moment by J. W. Graaf of Wap- wallopen, saved the lives of Ira Boyd and | | his wife. Mrs. Boyd served what she be- lieved to be mushrooms for supper, but after the family retired the husband and wife became violently ~iil. They had eaten toadstools by mistake. Graaf, who was camping in the vicinity, was summoned to the rescue and tried | emetics without effect. At last he con- celved the idea of a new type of stom- | He procured two fat pleces | of pork. Attaching strings to them he made each patient swallow a plece. Then he pulled them out by the strings. The result was marvelous, as the pa- tients vomited coplously.

The average merchant—not the big and dominatnig one, but the average one—knows more about the kind of a location he should have, the kind of a building, the sort of fixtures, the grades and kinds of goods, the kirnd of clerks, the sort of delivery system, and eredit system, the seerets of when and where | and how to buy and the knack of really producing bargain offerings than he knows about the art of real and ef- fective store-advertising. He devotes two hours of his time to- day to closing a deal for wrapping pa- per—another hour to teaching boys or girls how to wrap up packages—an- other holr to an inspection of newly arrived goods—takes a look at the ac- counts—allows subordinates to take up his time with such weighty questions as that of where to have the delivery horses shod—and flnds himself “too busy” to prepare a really forceful, hu- | man-interest store-advertisement. Of course, “the average merchant” is not intentionally crippling his store— he simply allows a multitude of small things to shut out the importance of the really vital thing—the store-pub- licity. He “believes in advertising,” but he does not see its rational part in the management of his store. He does not “belleve” in it as he belleves in attrac- tive show-windows. He does not be- lfeve in it as he believes in polite clerks, in honest values, in fuel for the heating plant, in secure locks on his store- doors. . His “belief in advertising” is a little like his bellef in political principles— not an urgent, Insistent, every-hour be- lef, to be practiced aggressively and continuously, but a “belief,” just the same. ‘When this “‘average merchant” learns to “believe in advertising” in exactly the same way that he believes in open- ing his store-doors at an appointed time; whnen he belleves in it as an every-day, elemental necessity in his business, and when nothing in connec- tion with his store’s management is more cleverly done than his advertising —then he will cease to be an “average merchant,” and will quickly join the ranks of exeeptional merchants, whose stores become institutions in thelr cities. FARER AR S S SO MR R T in combative embrace. The struggle, however, was brief, and when Mr. Dough- erty, somewhat disheveled, stood before the bench he pleaded absence of intent to offend. “You are gullty of contempt just the same,” thundered the Judge, “and to- morrow I'll send you up for the limit.” Mr.- Wilson gazed pityingly at his un- fortunate benefactor, but until the time of their mutual retirement he had not offered to return thz “w.hale Cheese.” . Mrs. Amella Metzger, accused of hav- ing been drunk in a public place, in- formed Judge Cabaniss that her unf-. formed accuser was wallowing in error, she had never been in the condl- ‘tion so graphically described by him. “But, I suppose,” said his Honor, “that you take a little stimulant once in a while, as many eminently respect- able matrons do?" “No, sir,” was the lady's earnest re- joinder; “I never drank stimulant in my life. The only thing I drink Js beer, and very little of that.” She was dismissed and advised to add beer to the beverages shunned by her. —_———————— S e red pear when Lash's Bitters Gneds Nov. 9.—A home | § The doctor said Graaf's heroic | § ‘!reatmcnt alone saved their lives. 1 It has been many a year since wool was as high in price as it is now, but that does not affect these blanket prices. 1000 pairs of California’s finest quality white wool blankets.
