WEEKLY GAZETTE. County Official Paper. SATURDAY...APRIL 8, 1882 A dispatch from Boston, dated April 5th, announces that W. W. Jasquer of that city has discovered a method of long-distance telephoning. He has conversed with Baltimore and will soon converse with Chicago and San Francisco. One day last week two gentlemen, one in Los Angeles and the other in San Diego, conversed by telephone with perfect ease, the voice being recognized without difficulty. There is no doubt that the time will come when the telephone will be used as successfully for conversing at long distances as it is now used for conversing between different points in the same city. The Zayder Zee has an area of 20,000 hectares, or nearly 50,000 acres. This large tract, now covered by the waters of the ocean, the Government of Holland has definitely determined to reclaim. The engineers in charge of the work have been envaged for ten years past in preparing the plans, and the total cost is estimated at not less than $46,000,000. The dyke will be forty-one kilometers (about 25½ miles) in length, and will extend from the city of Enkhuisen to the coast of the province of Overysael. The top of the dyke will be built to the height of sixteen feet above the level of the sea, which will bring it nearly seven feet above the highest tide. The dyke will be formed from sand and faced with clay, and will be built of sufficient dimensions to resist the heaviest seas. Operations on this great work will be commenced at four different points, and the calculation is to have it completed in from seven to ten years. In a recent letter to Congressman Page, Charles Francis Adams Jr. gives his views on the subject of a National Railroad Commission as follows: Congress wants to provide a commission with powers which cannot be defined to regulate evils which are not understood, in a field which has not been explored. Such a method of legislation seems to me hasty. Finally, it has been argued that a mixed EASTER. To-morrow is Easter Sunday, the annual festival observed throughout Christendom in commemoration of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. There is no account of the celebration of Easter as a Christian festival in the New Testament; but it, and such days as Christmas, Ascension and Whitman were set apart by God as holy days by the very occurrence which make them memorable. The observance of holy days is to be traced to the devotion with which the early Christians regarded the principal acts and events of our Lord's life, and to the chastened joy with which they regarded the sufferings and deaths of those who gave up their lives rather than forsake Him and His truths. According to Bede the name of this festival is derived from Eostre, or Ostara, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring, to whom the fourth month, answering to our April—thence called Eostur-monath—was dedicated. This month, Bede tells us, was the same as the "Mensis Paschalis" when "the old festival was observed with the gladness of a new solemnity." It is easy to suppose that the early Christians, being derived from, or intimately connected with the Jewish church, naturally continued to observe the grand old feast, though in a new spirit, as commemorating an exent of which it had been but the shadow. The Passover, ennobled by the thought of Christ, the true Paschal Lamb, the first fruits from the dead, continued to be celebrated, and became the Christian Easter. Though the observance of this festival at a very early period became the rule in the Christian church, a difference as to the time of its observance speedily sprang up between Christians of Jewish and Gentile descent, which led to a long continued and bitter controversy, and an unhappy severance of Christian union. The point at issue really was the date of the termination of the Paschal fast. The Jewish Christians held that the fast should end on the 14th day of the moon at evening, the same as under the law, and the Easter festival would immediately follow irrespective of the day of the week. The Gentile Christians identified the first day of the week with the Resurrection festival, and kept the preceding Friday in commemoration of the crucifixion irrespective of the day of the month. The question as to the day on which it should be observed was finally set- Sharp thorns at the end of the plant matures. We here republish growth of one of the yucca in our last issue.

St. Louis, March 3 In a recent letter to Congressman Page, Charles Francis Adams Jr. gives his views on the subject of a National Railroad Commission as follows: Congress wants to provide a commission with powers which cannot be defined to regulate evils which are not understood, in a field which has not been explored. Such a method of Legislation seems to me hasty. Finally, it has been argued that a mixed commission for inquiry only is what is now needed. My objection to this is, that in this country and in Europe there have already been quite enough of these roaming commissions picking up theories and listening to experts. What Congress needs to guide it, as I see the matter, is not more theories or more abstract discussions, but the positive results of complaints actually made and thoroughly looked into. Advisory commissions never deal with cases of this sort. The surest way for Congress torive at desirable results will be for it to provide a commission with full powers to investigate every cause of complaint. Truly, our inventors have not been idle within the last few years; every week that passes adds to the long list of labor-saving and useful inventions. Nor are the efforts of inventors all in one direction—the arts, sciences and mechanics are equally represented. The "Phoneidoscope" is a newly invented instrument which is intended to show the effects of different sounds on a soap bubble. Its operations are as delicate and produce results as interesting and beautiful as those produced by any other instrument we have heard about. On the 23dult Dr. Nolan Martin lectured at the Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, on "The Logie of the Sciences," and at the close of the lecture the audience were shown the operations of one of these "Phoneidosopes." A frame of copper, holding a film of soapy water, is placed in a tube, and a highly-illuminated picture of the film is then thrown upon a screen by means of a magic lantern. The effect of various sounds is shown by the vibrations of the watery diaphragm. Several gentlemen volunteered and sang songs into the tube, producing most curious results. The singing, as was said, could not only be heard but seen. As the various musical notes were sounded a multitude of geometrical figures were displayed, which, blending with the rainbow colors, produced most beautiful results. The capabilities of the new instrument are not as yet fully as certain, and its practical value can only be determined by future experiment. In a few weeks another exhibition will be given, when the effects of the male and female voice will be tested, and also different musical instruments. During a drunken row in the Mexican Last week we published an item giving the wonderful growth made by the flower-stalk of two yuccas in the garden of a gentleman here. Since then we have obtained some further information in regard to this plant which may be of interest to our readers: The yucca is a very hardy semi-tropical plant which is found all over Mexico and the mountainous parts of Southern California. It belongs to the same family as the century plant, but blooms at the end of four years, when it dies. It has no trunk or stem, but is composed of long, spear-like "leaves" which grow up from the root in a circle. These attain a length of twelve to fifteen inches, when the flower-stalk starts up from the center, growing to the height of six or seven feet. The blossoms are large, white, and surround the top half of the stalk, and their odor is not unpleasant. The stalk is filled with a soft, sweet pulp very much like sorghum or sugar cane, and is esteemed a great delicacy by the Mexicans and Spaniards. They eat the stalk just troversy, and an unhappy severance of Christian union. The point at issue really was the date of the termination of the Paschal fast. The Jewish Christians held that the fast should end on the 14th day of the moon at evening, the same as under the law, and the Easter festival would immediately follow irrespective of the day of the week. The Gentile Christians identified the first day of the week with the Resurrection festival, and kept the preceding Friday in commemoration of the crucifixion irrespective of the day of the month. The question as to the day on which it should be observed was finally settled at the Council of Nicases (325), but how the full moon on which Easter depended was to be predicted, was not determined until long after. What are known as the Western churches and their branches, celebrate nearly a fortnight earlier than do the Greek and the Oriental churches generally. It is interesting to note that the ancient British church observed the 84 years cycle, and their stubborn refusal to give it up caused much bitter controversy between the fathers of Iona and the Latin missionaries. One of the conditions laid down by Augustin in his conference with the British Bishops was "that they should keep Easter at the due time." Yet there are intelligent people today who assert that Christianity was introduced into England by Augustin. Easter Day as commemorating the central fact of our religion, has always been regarded as the chief festival of the Christian year, and has been from the earliest times observed with a stately and elaborate ceremonial. In the humblest chapel as well as in the grandest cathedral, special services are held, in which thousands join who do not regularly attend, but who come now in honor of the day when the angel spake from his seat on the tomb and said, "He is not here: for He is risen as He said." THE YUCCA. Last week we published an item giving the wonderful growth made by the flower-stalk of two yuccas in the garden of a gentleman here.

SAN FRANCISCO,past six monthsthe During a drunken row in the Mexican saloon on Los Angeles street, Sunday, a Mexican drew a revolver to shoot, when officer Bohn went in to arrest the parties. Others prevented his interfering, and Jose Aguilar drew a knife and mixed in the affray. At this juncture Marshal Barham came to Bohn's help, and the officers tried to arrest Aguilar. The latter refused to surrender, and threatened the officers with his knife, and it was only after he had received several knocks on the head that he was overpowered. The Mexican who drew the revolver was fined $15 for carrying concealed weapons, which amount was paid. Aguilar will be brought up for trial to-day on a charge of resisting an officer. A ride about the adjacent country shows a great change to be taking place in the condition of things. New houses and outbuildings are being built, and fences put up; new vineyards and orchards are being set out; land being plowed and seeded that has remained unbroken for years; ditches being out to carry water to new districts—do all these signs indicate renewed hope on the part of our people and the assurance of a prosperous season? There are few, if any, tramps in our midst, and few of our citizens are idle. The place looks more business-like than it has for months, except in the vicinity of our Justice's Courts, and the inactivity there would suggest the idea that people are too busy to think of wrong-doing. This is a right condition of things, and may it so continue. The yucca is commonly known among Mexicans and Spaniards here by the name of quiote, but the former is the proper name. By cultivation, it attains nearly twice the size of the wild plants, and the stalk is thicker and more juicy. Another peculiarity we have noticed in the two plants mentioned last week. The stalk at all hours of the day leans toward the sun; in the morning it leans toward the east, in the evening toward the west, and at noon toward the south; when the plant is sheltered by a tree or building, or in cloudy weather, the stalk leans just the opposite way. As it grows, the stalk gradually develops leaves all around having long sharp thorns at the end. These drop off as the plant matures. We here republish the record of the growth of one of the yucca stalks mentioned in our last issue. In sixteen hours from the time of the first measurement the growth was 3 inches; the next day (24 hours) added 4½ inches to its height; during the succeeding three days the growth was 14 inches. The stalk had then attained the height of over nine feet, and the blossoms commenced to develop. Board of Supervisors. We take the following extracts from the proceedings of the County Board of Supervisors had during the week: Reports of county officers were received, read and ordered on report book. Township officers' reports received, read and placed on file. Clerk was directed to advertise for all supplies requisited by the county. On motion of Supervisor Egan the salary of the Registry Clerk was fixed at $100 per month from April 1st.

Settle and others for a public road from Norwalk to Fulton Wells, along line of lands of Ryle, Hudson and Clark, granted. The said Hudson allowed $50 for removing fence on line of said road. On motion of Supervisor Cooper, Supervisor Egan was authorized to purchase a McCall mammoth road grader for the use of the county, to be paid for out of the general road fund. On motion of Supervisor Cooper, it was ordered that in the future no compensation will be allowed to Constables for services rendered in criminal business of serving papers issued out of Justices' Courts, other than the Justices' Court of the townships in which said Constables have been elected and duly qualified.

Kate Shelley, to whom the Iowa Legislature lately gave a gold medal and $200, is only 15 years old. She lives near Des Moines, at a point where a railroad crosses a gorge at a great height. One night there was a furious storm, and the bridge was carried away. The first that she shelloys knew of it was when they saw a headlight of a locomotive flash down into the chasm. Kate climbed to the remnant of the bridge with great difficulty, using an improvised lantern, and the engineer's voice answered her calls; but she could do nothing for him, and he was drowned. Then she remembered that an express train was almost due, and she started for the nearest station, a mile distant. A long high bridge over the Des Moines river had to be crossed on the ties— McCall mammoth road grader for the use of the county, to be paid for out of the general road fund. On motion of Supervisor Cooper, it was ordered that in the future no compensation will be allowed to Constables for services rendered in criminal business of serving papers issued out of Justices' Courts, other than the Justices' Court of the townships in which said Constables have been elected and duly qualified. St. Louis, March 31.—The news of a terrible assassination has been received. It occurred near Antonio, near the Jefferson County line, about thirty miles from here. The residence and general store of Joseph Yergoi, Postmaster, and one of the oldest and wealthiest citizens of the county, was fired by an incendiary on Thursday night. When the family rushed from the burning building, the assassins, lurking in a shed across the road, fired a shotgun at Yergoi and riddled him with buckshot. He fell, bleeding, and died in a few minutes. About a dozen villagers were present when the crime was committed, but the deed was so unexpected that no attempt was made to follow the assassins. The deceased, besides being a storekeeper and mill owner, had done business in loaning money, and some think that his harshness in this respect caused his death. Suspicion points to a man named Tressler, who a year ago purchased a team of horses from Yergoi, giving him a mortgage upon them. He took the animals to Kansas, where Yergoi had him arrested. He was brought back and sentenced to six months in the jail at Hillsboro; while confined he frequently declared his intention of killing Yergoi. He was released about two months ago. Yergoi had been a resident of the county for thirty-five years; he leaves a wife and five children. A reward of $2,900 is offered for the capture of his assassin. New York, April 3.—Cornelius J. Vanderbilt, brother of William H. Vanderbilt, shot himself at the Glenham Hotel, Fifth avenue, Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, and died from the effects of the wound at 6 o'clock. From the time of the shooting until his death Vanderbilt was unconscious. Many friends of the dead man and members of the family were present when he passed away. The motive for the act, given by his friends, is that it was the result of mental derangement brought on by years of suffering from epileptic fits. No other reason could be given, as his financial affairs are said to be in a most prosperous condition. Vanderbilt came to the Glenham Hotel two weeks ago last Friday from Florida, where he had been spending several weeks. He had previously visited the Hot Springs of Arkansas for the benefit of his health, which for the past year had been very poor. San Francisco, April 3d.—During the past six months there were 2,731 deaths in Thomas Nurse, a small farmer and stockman living three miles from Ione, Cal., was shot and instantly killed on Wednesday by his neighbor, Wm. Kirkendall. The affair grew out of a dispute about a piece of land. Jesse James, the notorious outlaw, was shot and instantly killed on Monday at St. Joseph, Mo., by Robert Ford, of Richmond county. Robert, and his brother Charles, had been shadowing Jesse James for many months past, following him from place to place, their purpose being to kill him the first time an opportunity offered; but they never succeeded in finding him unarmed until the above occasion. The Fords claim to have had no other object in view than the obtaining of the reward offered by the State for James, dead or alive. LYNCH LAW. KANSAS CITY, April 4.—Officer Pat Jones attempted last night to arrest two negroes on suspicion that they had stolen some butter. As he was walking with them one of them shot him three times, and both broke and ran. One was, however, seized and held by the people, who had gathered until the police could take him to the West Kansas City police station. As the officers were removing him to the central station, a mob collected, seized the negro and hung him from the Bluff street bridge. There was great excitement for a time, but it soon cooled down. Officer Jones leaves a wife and five children. INDIANAPOLIS, April 4.—Last night a mob of 800, at Kokomo, broke down the jail doors, took Long, alias Johnson, who raped the little girl, and in the presence of one thousand people hanged him from a bridge. A clergyman who was present offered prayer. Long confessed the stealing but denied the rape. The Herald of Sunday had the following in regard to the Anaheim and Santa Ana water cases: "Judge McNealy has filed his decision in the Anaheim and Santa Ana water cases. In the suit brought by the Anaheim Water Company against the Semi-Tropic Water Company, he holds that the former corporation is entitled to sufficient water to fill its ditch full at all times and seasons of the year, and is also entitled to recover the costs of suit. In the case of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company against the Anaheim Water Company and the Cajon Irrigation Company, Judge McNealy holds that the plaintiff is entitled to a decree restricting the defendants from interfering with its use of one-half of the waters of the Santa Ana river; subject, however, to the paramount right of the Anaheim Water Company to appropriate its ditch full of water. In this case the Santa Ana Company recovers its costs. The gist of the two decisions seems to be this: The claim of the Anaheim Water Company is recognized as gorge at a great height. One night there was a furious storm, and the bridge was carried away. The first that the Shelloys knew of it was when they saw a headlight of a locomotive flash down into the chasm. Kate climbed to the remnant of the bridge with great difficulty, using an improvised lantern, and the engineer's voice answered her calls; but she could do nothing for him, and he was drowned. Then she remembered that an express train was almost due, and she started for the nearest station, a mile distant. A long high bridge over the Des Moines river had to be crossed on the ties—an easy thing to do in calm daylight, but perilous in stormy darkness. Kate's light was blown out, and the wind was so violent that she could not stand. So she crawled across the bridge, from timber to timber, on her hands and knees. She got to the station bedraggled and exhausted, but in time to give the warning, though she fainted immediately.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 3d.—During the past six months there were 2,731 deaths in the city against 2,105 for the same period last year. One hundred and sixty-one marriage licenses were issued by County Clerk Wilder last month at $2 each, which yielded a revenue to the city of $322. Four hundred and thirty-one new suits were brought in the Superior Court last month, which netted the Law Library Fund $431, or $1 paid by each complainant. During the month of March the police made 2,759 arrests, of which 889 were for drunkenness, 118 for gambling, 18 as insane, 935 for misdemeanor, and 277 persons were accommodated with lodgings in the police stations. LEAVENWORTH, April 4.—There is considerable excitement at Fort Leavenworth over the rumor that the Cheyennes and Arapahoes are threatening an outbreak near Fort Reno. Major Randall with five companies, and Captain Hood, with three companies of troops, are on the ground. The Indians number two thousand. Their grievance is that they have been put on half raions of beef, and that the proposed branch of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad through their territory will destroy their hunting grounds. Major Randall thinks his troops inadequate to prevent a general sweep. WASHINGTON, April 4.—The President has sent a message to the Senate vetoing the Chinese bill. LONDON, April 4.—The Spanish steamer Yrurac Bat, Captain Ugarte, from Liverpool for Porto Rico, came in collision with the Royal Mail Company's steamer Douro, from Brazil, off Cape Finnisterre, Spain, on Saturday night. Both steamers sank. The steamer Hidalgo rescued seventeen persons from the Douro and sixty-seven from the Yrurac Bat, and landed them at Corunna. Thirty, of the crew of the Yrurac Bat, including the Captain and pilot, were drowned. Thirty-five of the Douro's passengers were saved. The number drowned is unknown. YUMA, A. T., April 6th.—A party of Yuma Indians got into a drunken row below the government depot, half a mile from town, on Tuesday evening, in which one of them killed another. The murderer was pursued and caught by the organized policemen of the tribe, summarily tried, found guilty and to-day was beaten to death with a club in the hands of the nearest relatives of the Indian he murdered. Such is savage justice, swift and sure. To the Public.

Although some of nearly every other manufacture was destroyed, so far as known, one of the California Mills put up by the undersigned escaped injury. These Mills are so strongly made and so perfectly self-regulating that, when properly put up, it is almost impossible for a storm to injure them. It is also superior to other Mills in having an ADJUSTABLE STROKE, (4 different lengths) in the ease and no lessness of its work, in the beauty of its design and finish and in the marvelously low prices at which it is sold.
