SHERWOOD HYSTERICAL,
SAYS ARMOR
That Right of Way Has Not Been Charted Yet; and Its Periodicity has Not Been Calculated.
EDITOR GAZETTE:—Mr. Sherwood's last effusion reminds me of an incident that occurred in Oberlin, Ohio, about the year 1870.
A small boy, who had been left at home one Sunday morning by his mother, finally wandered into the street and commenced to amuse himself by splashing muddy water upon the ladies as they passed along the sidewalk. One young woman turned upon him, and, to escape her clutches, he rushed into the puddle, falling headlong. His mother returned from church in time to help fish him out; drive him, bellowing, into the woodshed, and compel him to stand there until she could change her dress and attend to his case. Now, that little bedaubed and be-draggled piece of humanity felt terribly abused. According to his crude code of ethics, he had done nothing amiss; but everybody was imposing upon him because he was so little.
Sherwood started out some months ago to sling mud at the two water companies and everybody connected therewith. In his estimation, nobody knew anything but himself, and he was also the only honest man. The moment, however, that a defense was instituted, he immediately fell down and wallowed in the mire collected by himself. A few of the contentions on which he fell here upon by admitting that he Some of my information and opinions on drainage-basins, water-sheds, artesian water, etc., were derived from the physical geography nearly forty years ago, and more has been added since from general reading and observations. That "our engineers and lawyers" do not recognize this information as all coming through them is shown by their acknowledging the value of the work, my work, to them. But even if such knowledge had all come through these specialists, where is the harm is disseminating so much of it as will not jeopardize our suits, but will help our people to understand the situation? The Great Teacher himself used disciples (learners) to distribute the multiplied bread (increased knowlege) to the people. Besides there is no patent upon general information of this sort; it becomes the property of whoever acquire it, to be used as he may see fit. As to the undersigned's making use of such information "to further his private interests," that is the ratiocination of a diseased brain, gangrened by jealousy or atrophied by hate. A director, who has the name of being an engineer, might turn a public trust into a private snap; but an ordinary director, who gets his ideas second-hand, cannot hope for more than from $2 to $5 per month, even though he put in his entire time for the company himself. In return for this gratuitous insult, I am impelled to shy a stone at Sherwood's glass house. It is reported that he cannot survey a pie or cake without taxing sufficient costs to eat up the entire property!
Sherwood has actually worried himself into hysterics over a right-of-way that he had heard of and of which he has caught a single glimpse since he has been on the board of directors of the A.U.W.Co. Why, man! didn't they tell you that that right-of-way was a recent discovery, whose
WILSON ON THE DROUTH.
Secretary of Agriculture Believes Science Can Lessen the Destructiveness of Dryness.
SIoux City, Ia., August 3.—Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, who is investigating crop conditions in the Northwest, expressed the opinion today that the situation was not quite so bad as reported. He said: "The real object of my trip out here is to make a scientific investigation of the crop conditions of the Middle West. By scientific I do not mean an estimate of the financial loss or the decrease of the crop prospect caused by the recent drouth, but I want to see if something cannot be done to lessen the destructiveness of drouths. I am satisfied that by means of scientific study in the agricultural sphere a way can be devised whereby the loss to the farmer by drouth can be materially lessened. I have not yet reached a conclusion as to how this can be done, but the results of my investigations will be given out on my return to Washington.
"I first noticed the effect of the drouth when I struck Indiana. From there west, as far as I have been, the damage is quite perceptible. I went to Omaha and Lincoln first, that I might have an opportunity to see the condition of the crops in Southern Iowa, as I had heard that they were hurt the worst. From what I have seen from the crops around Sioux City, I think they are in much better condition than those in the southern part of the State. It is impossible for me to estimate the extent of the loss. That will be given-out in the monthly bulletin which will be issued August 10th. I am going from here through Minnesota to St. Paul and probably will come back again to Iowa. I suppose I will visit Missouri before I return to Washington."
Off For Mexico.
H. A. Strodthoff, head book-keeper and trusted employee of the T.F.Miller company for the past several years will leave Jerome shortly after Aug 15. He has accepted the general management of the mercantile department of the Copper Queen company in Mexico. They have three stores there and Mr. Strodthoff will divide his time equally among them, as travelling man
Sherwood started out some months ago to sling mud at the two water companies and everybody connected therewith. In his estimation, nobody knew anything but himself, and he was also the only honest man. The moment, however, that a defense was instituted, he immediately fell down and wallowed in the mire collected by himself. A few of the contentions on which he fell down, either by admitting that he knew nothing about them personally, or by quietly dropping them when shown that they were untenable, may be mentioned as follows: The wrong done to small shareholders by proxy voting; the assertion that the directors acted "ultra vires" in their purchase of the Durkee ranch; the right of the stockholders to directly control the business of the company; the charge that the Durkee ranch was offered, prior to its purchase, for $35,000; the claim that Durkee shared the $100,000 with Newberry and others; the alleged reason for Mr. Fay's support of the Durkee ranch purchase; the belief that the Fuller attack on the river was inspired by the Durkee purchase; the justification of a Government engineer's being employed against the two water companies; the accusation of bias in Kellogg, because his interests lie on the east side of the river. In short, Sherwood fell down on every contention that he attempted to make against the water companies. Now, like the small boy who started out to be smirch others and himself, became the greatest sufferer from his own thoughtlessness, Sherwood would like to shift the blame for his ostracism, bad repute and lack of influence to his intended victims, who thus far have acted only in self-defense.
Turning more particularly to his last article, we see that Sherwood confesses his "interest in the matter is akin to that feeling which prompts a man to kick a cur that is always snarling at the heels of every one that does not please him." How he must despise himself, when such qualms come over him, for he is the one that is doing the ululating!
He explained his understanding of the meaning of the phrase, "passed up," by saying "that is 'What happened to Armor' in the last supervisorial election." Substituting the briefest definition that can be gotten out of that jumble of words, viz: "defeated" (which is probably the one intended) for the phrase, "passed up," in his original statement, it
LINN SHAW has started a daily newspaper at Santa Ana. It is the newsiest daily published in any of the smaller Southern California towns. The advertising patronage seems hardly sufficient to justify the outlay. But this is true of many another newspaper published in this, as well as other States. Whether the patronage extended the new venture will prove itself sufficient to warrant the continuance of the enterprise, time alone will tell. One thing is certain: If the Santa Ana people permit it, for want of proper support, to fail, they will be rightly served if they should dry up and blow away. Here's success to Shaw and the Daily Herald!
Astounded the Editor
Editor S. A. Brown, of Bennettsville, S.C., was once immensely surprised. "Through long suffering from Dyspepsia," he writes, "my wife was greatly run down. She had no strength or vigor and suffered great distress from her stomach, but she tried Electric Bitters, which helped her at once, and after using four bottles, she is entirely well, can eat anything. It's a grand tonic, and its gentle laxative qualities are splendid for torpid liver." For Indigestion, Loss of Appetite, Stomach and Liver troubles it's a positive, guaranteed cure. Only 50c here through Minnesota to St. Paul and probably will come back again to Iowa. I suppose I will visit Missouri before I return to Washington."
Off For Mexico.
H. A. Strodthoff, head book-keeper and trusted employee of the T.F. Miller company for the past several years will leave Jerome shortly after Aug. 15. He has accepted the general management of the mercantile department of the Copper Queen company in Mexico. They have three stores there and Mr. Strodthoff will divide his time equally among them, as traveling manager. He has many warm friends in Jerome who congratulate him on his good fortune, and wish him the fullest measure of success in his new field—Jerome Mining News, Aug. 3.

Shocking Death of a Woman.
BAKERSFIELD. Aug. 6.—Last night at 10:30 o'clock Jesse Cason, a switch man in the employ of the Santa Fe while counting cars on the side-track in Kern City, near the signal tower discovered the body of a woman lying on the track. This morning it was identified as that of Maud Raymond, chambermaid who resided in this city. The head was completely severed from the body and was found lying on the south side of the track, while the body was between rails. The corps was removed to Niederous' undertaking parlors, where an inquest will be held this evening by Coroner Buckreu. The hour of the woman's tragic death is not known, nor has it been learned how the tragedy occurred, as there were no known witnesses to the accident. Residents of Kern City whose homes are near the scene of the accider were questioned, but they were unable to throw any light on the case. It said the unfortunate woman was addicted to drink.

ENGLISH SPARROWS.
Dates at Which These Birds Were Imported Into This Country.
I have been asked several times lately at what date the common English sparrows were imported into the United States and by whom.
He explained his understanding of the meaning of the phrase, "passed up," by saying "that is 'What happened to Armor' in the last supervisorial election." Substituting the briefest definition that can be gotten out of that jumble of words, viz: "defeated" (which is probably the one intended) for the phrase, "passed up," in his orginal statement, it makes it read as follows: "The aforesaid ancient saying (that "a man cannot serve two masters") has been defeated!" If, however, this allusion to election results was meant more as a personal thrust than as a definition, let the gentleman remember the facts. Without solicitation on my part I was nominated the fourth time in succession as the choice of the majority of the Republicans of the district for supervisor. That indorsement in itself was a high honor. It does not follow that I was any the less qualified for the place or any the less trustworthy than formerly, or even than my opponent, because some Republicans, for reasons personal to themselves, went over to the enemy's camp and helped to elect a Democrat. The only real humiliation, that can be put upon a man, must result from his own misdeeds; in the matter of the supervisorship, there is simply nothing for any one, however ill-disposed he may be, to rub in. On the other hand "he who lives in a glass house should not throw stones."
Continuing his efforts to discredit my articles on the water question, which he claims he has not read, Sherwood says: "But I wish he would tell us if he thinks it was proper to utilize the information acquired by our engineers and lawyers to further his private interests." Doubtless some of the information used in those articles was acquired originally by engineers and lawyers; but who knows how much? I don't.

Bolsa Drainage.
The Bolsa drainage district, which was conceived in folly, has been again sued for the recovery of moneys illegally collected, James McMillian of Bolsa has brought suit against Tax Collector Robinson to recover taxes collected for the district, amounting to $1500.
A similar case was brought by the farmers against the district some months ago, but was shelved on account of an alleged irregularity.
This alleged drainage district was formed as a means of retaliation upon the gun club at Bolsa Chica. The farmers have long since discovered their mistake, and are now fighting to abolish it.

ENGLISH SPARROWS.
Dates at Which These Birds Were Imported Into This Country.
I have been asked several times later at what date the common English sparrows were imported into the United States and by whom.
It seems that the first attempt was made in 1858 by a private citizen of Portland, Me. In the fall of that year he liberated six sparrows, and they immediately made themselves at home in his garden and outbuildings. For few years these birds and their descendants were seen in and about the town in small squads. These birds multiplied until in the winter of 1874 a flock of them appeared in every neat by town, thus showing their tendency to spread over adjoining territory.
About 1800 12 birds were imported and liberated near Madison square New York city, and this was repeated for several seasons.
In 1864 the commissioners of New York liberated 14 birds in Central park About this time numerous persons returned from abroad brought a few birds home and set them at liberty and about Jersey City.
The craze for importing these birds spread, and in 1868 the city government of Boston imported a great number. But the birds had not been carefully handled, and they did not thrive and others were brought over. The birds which survived from these various importations were carefully feared and looked after by the city government.
In 1869 a thousand were imported and liberated in the city of Philadelphia, and soon the birds spread over all adjacent territory.
About this time the Smithsonian institution became interested in bringing these birds to this country, so they imported 300, but most of them died. In 1871 the same institution brought over another lot, and they were successfully cared for.
From this it is seen that the bird have started from a number of polls and were not one or two importations to New York, as is usually supposed. Washington Post.

TY, Ia., August 3.—Secretary Agriculture Wilson, who is in crop conditions in the expressed opinion to the situation was not quite so worried. He said: "The real my trip out here is to make a investigation of the crop condition in the Middle West.

Journalistic Errors.
I do not allude to what are obviously mere misprints, such as when The Morning Post announced at the head of its fashionable intelligence that Lord Palmerston had gone down into Hampshire with a party of fiends to shoot peasants, but I refer to blunders due to crass ignorance of a pretentious order. Perhaps the best instance was when one of the "young lions" of The Daily Telegraph in a leading article enumerated the great masters of Greek sculpture as Phidias, Praxiteles and Milo, ignorant of the fact that Milo is not a sculptor, but an island.
The Times was even worse when mistaking Prussia for Austria, it devoted a whole leader to discussing why Prussia had joined the zollverein.

Drawing the Line.
A good story is told in Missouri at the expense of its once famous governor, Claiborne F. Jackson. Before he solved the enigma of lovelock he had married five sisters in reasonable lapses of consecutiveness. After one wife had been lost and appropriately mourned he espoused another, and he kept his courting within a narrow circle of his own relatives, for he rather liked the family.
The antiquated father of these girls was almost deaf, and when the governor went to this octogenarian to ask for his surviving daughter the following conversation ensued:
"I want Lizzie."
"Eh?"
"I want you to let me have Ellis-a-beth."
"Oh, you want Lizzie, do you? What for?"
"For my wife."
"For life."
"I want—to marry—her."

BOLISH SPARROWS.
At Which These Birds Were Imported Into This Country.
Been asked several times late last year date the common English birds were imported into the United States and by whom.
In that the first attempt was in 1858 by a private citizen of Me. In the fall of that year listed six sparrows, and they imitated themselves at home garden and outbuildings. For a few these birds and their designs were seen in and about the small squads. These birds ended until in the winter of 1871 if them appeared in every near-by thus showing their tendency over adjoining territory.
1800 12 birds were imported operated near Madison square, York city, and this was repeated several seasons.
The commissioners of New England imported 14 birds in Central park. His time numerous persons re-emerged from abroad brought a few name and set them at liberty in Jersey City.

This it is seen that the birds started from a number of points not one or two importations York, as is usually supposed—Boston Post.
Punishment and Reward.
Whenever a certain Atchison boy is bad, his mother makes him put on his Sunday clothes. She finds that this is punishment enough, though it is reward for her girls when they behave.
Perhaps the best instance was when one of the "young lions" of The Daily Telegraph in a leading article enumerated the great masters of Greek sculpture as Phidias, Praxiteles and Milo, ignorant of the fact that Milo is not a sculptor, but an island.
The Times was even worse when mistaking Prussia for Austria, it devoted a whole leader to discussing why Prussia had joined the zollverein. The Saturday Review once explained at great length that the population might be nourished gratuitously on young lambs if killed unweaned before they had begun to crop grass, having therefore cost nothing to feed. Many other instances will doubtless occur to your readers.—Notes and Queries.
A Mixed Wedding Party.
"The college roommate of a friend of mine was engaged to a lady in New York," writes the Rev. D. M. Steele in his article on "Some People I Have Married" in The Ladies' Home Journal. "His people are Congregationalists, but while at Yale he became a Unitarian. Her parents are Roman Catholics, but she was a member of the Ethical Culture society at Carnegie hall. In compliance with her mother's wish he asked five different priests to marry them, but all refused. In despair he came for me. I married them, an Episcopalian, with the ritual service in a Presbyterian chapel. The Roman Catholic brother of the bride and the Congregational sister of the groom were present. This sister acted as one witness; the other witness was a Jewess."
Careful Statement.
"Was this man Dennis an entire stranger to you?" asked the cross examining counsel of a witness in an important case.
"Sorry?" said the witness, whose stupid face was crossed with wrinkles of anxiety, for he had been warned to be cautious and exact in his answers.
The lawyer repeated his question.
"Well, no, sorr," said the witness, with a sudden gleam of enlightenment. "He couldn't be that, for he had but the wan arm, sorr, but he was a parrtial stranger, sorr. Old niver seen him befoor."—Youth's Companion.
Origin of "Whig."
Several reasons have been assigned to account for the word "Whig," universally known to all the English speaking people. By some the word is supposed to be a contraction of a longer one, "whiggamore," which in some parts of England and Scotland, especially Scotland, signifies a drover or herder.
It was in 1679 that the word first became common in the British Isles, when the struggle was in progress between the peasantry and the aristocracy to have or not to have the bill passed by parliament to exclude the Duke of York from the line of succession. All who were opposed to placing the duke in the line of succession were derisively called "whiggamores," or "drovers," just as the city dude of today speakers of the "grangers," the "grays," the "chin whiskers" and the "hayseeders."
But Scotch tradition gives altogether a different reason for the existence of the word. It is this: During the early religious wars in Scotland the weakest of the factions used the words "We Hope In God" as a motto. The initials of these words were placed on their banners thus, "W. H. L. G." and soon all the followers of that clan were given the title of "Whig," which was afterward attached as a party nickname.
SHERLOCK HOLMES, JR.
How He Recognized the Domestic Man in the Street.
Sherlock Holmes Jr., stopped abruptly his companion's arm and saw low, distinct tones:
"Did you see that man with the die?"
"Yes," the other answered.
"He is in love with his wife. He to get up and start the fire for her morning, because they are not able keep a maid, and he is in the hawk oversleeping."
"Mr. Holmes, you surely do not come to believe you know all this story from watching his movements here street? You must be acquainted him, or possibly you have heard him."
"No. I never saw him until almost minute and a half ago. I have heard his name. No one has ever tended him to me. Now, I will tell how I have made my wonderful creation, and you will see that it is very ple. It is really too bad that you are more observing. Did you notice the automobile passed down the street before I spoke to you about him?"
"Since you mention the fact, I remember that one did whiz along. But can that automobile have to do with case?"
"Everything. When it was near positive this man, the operator of the cern rang his bell. The sound was that of an alarm clock."
"Well?"
"The man had been walking along his head down, half dreaming. Whi bell rang, he lifted his head sund and took out his watch to see what it was. Now, isn't the case clear? You see, he thought he w home in bed, that the alarm had go and that he must hurry to get up the rest is clear enough. If he didn't his wife, she would have to get up and he could sleep serenely till she him to breakfast, or if they kept the clock would, of course, be on mind instead of his."
