pendent to write such a letter, we must
say to the correspondent that he exhibited
very bad taste in doing what ' he did, and
that we do not want any more such leU

well enough, but personalities are not
jokes.

Mrs, Watson-is one of whom the good citi
zens of Jacksonville have always esteemed
for tbeir virtuous deeds and admired for
their personal beauty. It is certainly
a happy marriage, and with many friecds
we wish its final results to be equally proa
ductive of the happiness which is now
termed the honeymoon or, in plainer
terms, it is our hope their honeymoon, like
the life promised all that is human, may
never find an ending.

JAS. D, FAY SHOOTS HIMSELF.
SPECIAL TO IOi'0LA8 INDEPENDENT.
.. Empirb City, Maj. 80.
Douglas Independent: "the people
of this place were startled this
morning by the report that J as.
D. Fay had killed bimseli. It
soon became known that tbia was
the ead fact, and a coroner's in.
qneat over the body ot the de
ceased resulted iu the finding of
the following verdict:
We. the jury summoned to Inquire into
the cause of the death of Jas. D. Fay. do
find that deceased came to his death by a
wound inflicted by a pistol shot fired from
a pistol held in his own hands.
The facts developed by the tes
timony given before the jury
were that the night previons he
had retired in company with L.
F. Lane about 12 o'clock. Atter
that time he took two or three
dneka, bat not sufficient, as Mr.
Lane testified, to produce delir
ium tremens, Mr. Lane then
lelt him, and 'Mr. Fay went to
the Star saloon, and ;was sitting
by the stove, reading a newspaper,
wben Mr. E. W. Sprague and A.
W. Sprague, bis brother keep
ers ot the saloon went out and
left him sitting there. They
shortly afterwards heard the re
port ot a pistol, and ran back to
the saloon, where they found Mr.
Fay still seated in the chair, with
his head bent forward, the blood
flowing freely from his Lead, and
his pistol lying in his lap.
Dr. Mackey testified that death
had resulted almost , inttantan
eon sly with the shot.
Mr. Fay came here from San
Francisco, and was attending to
business he had in court, lie hal
made many frteuds, and - his sud
dou and tragic death has cast
gloum over the entire community.

Immortality of the soul is being discuss
ed by some of the people in this locality;
bat the young fellow who was informed of
the fact in quite a serious manner a few
davs since, does not believe in the doctrine.
He "understood" the sole to be a pugilistic
performance.
Mr. Westenhiser, who has proved to be
a very succeselul farmer, baa devised a
somewhat different scheme of tilling the
soil from what is generally practiced in this
country, snd it bas proved to be the only
means ot successful farming without mis
curing, or other means of retaining the
richness of the soil. Instead of plowing
thes me field each socceding year, as is
most generally.done, he makes a division
of his farm land,nd farms each division
every third year or every other year at be
deems necessary, and by this meant he
says he is certain of a good crop. We
think ere long something of this kind will
be adopted by the generality of the fars
mere. It is "the general complaint of the
farmers throughout the country that the
present yield of grain on old ground is not
so good as it formerly was. Where there
was formerly raised from thirty to forty
bushels of wheat per acre on an average,
it is reduced to filteen sod twenty bushels
at present. There man be a cause lor it,
and the cause is based on simple reason,
that the land ia being worn out and work
ed to death. Mineral as well as animal
life requires due attention and manage
ment to develop its producing capacity.

him so he blushing fkd and lett
it all alone.
Several of the .young men are
anticipating a journey to Sugar
Pine as soon as the Sugar l'ine
Minstrels announce the-r next
performance. We have witness
ed several ot the performances of
Steel which were good, and we
think any other Star who can
compete with him must be very
good indeed.
SOARY FOR HIM.
The Star reprbdehes us" for
enlarging this paper man article
it should have - entitled "A Poor
Attempt at SarcasVto Writing."
We would give that paper's arti
cle entire, but our space is too
valuable tor news and advertising
purposes just now"'to seod out
beyond its circumscribed limits
what it has to say of the Inde
pendent. The acknowledgment
on the part ot our .cotemporary
that he had found it necessary to
enlarge to an eight-column paper
in order to compete with the In
dependent as a newspaper, and
the -tact that just as he got ready
to make the enlargment the-sue
of the Independent was virtually
increased eight columns more, are
reasons enough why,, the Sktr man
would not wait until somebody
on the outside discovered . bis
greatness as a writer, we are
sorry no one elee appreciates his
abilities as an editor, and weep
when we remember lie has to re
main here with only the amuse
ment the poor little Independent
affords bun. S rrv tor him!
Words there are not to express
our sympathy.
