Henry Nunn and wife of Christine are visiting relatives at Philo this week. The revival meetings now being lield here are a great success, and many souls have been brought to light by the combined eflforts of Mise Ruth Sorrels, evangelist; Miss Elsie Haeberlin, deaconess and H. C.

Richardson, the pastor here. Miss Haeberlin leaves for the city Monday for a week after which she will return, and, together with Miss Sorrels, they will go to Boonville to continue in the good work. Some sixteen persons have been converted since they began this good work here, and that it may continue is the wish of the commu-1 nity. Clem Hereford of Peachland was in town this week. There is some talk of extending the local telegrapli line to Ward's place at PHENOMENAL RAINFALL He Denies the Allegation and DeMcs the Alligator.

As to the article published in The Democrat of tlie 2l8t inst. headed, "A Fool with a Gun," I wish to state the plain facts of the case to the public at large. Mr. Ruddock came in the hotel carrying a small bunch of flowers and he divided them with Mr. Duncan, and as Mr.

Duncan didn't have a pin to fasten them to his coat I vol unteered to find him one, so stepped behind the counter, and, having filled to find one elsewhere, I opened the drawer where is kept the postage stamps, and as I opened the drawer a revolver was exposed to view and Mr Duncan asked if it was one of tliose "sawed off boys." I picked up the gun to hand to him and it exploded, was as much surprised as anyone. Of course I must liave unconsciously pressed the trigger, but as to my flourishing it around and pointing at is absolutely false and comes from a person who has no regard for the truth anyway. A "fool with a gun" isn't half as dangerous to the public us a tin-cup curiistone pedagogue with a hotairbag under his cliin and who has been trying for eight or nine years to get a political job, but has made a dismal failure of it so far. It would be policy on the part of the local staff of The Democrat to investigate their stories before publishing them, I greatly regret that the acci- SOME COUPLES MADE HAPPV The Greatest Precipitation for February WM.

Joe Waldrop ofJicirtting. Both bride and groom were dressed according to the laws of ethics, and without ostentation or profusion in arrangements the happy couple became husband and wife. Only a few close friends besides the immediate families were present. An elaborate dinner was served, after which the newly married couple went to their home two miles southeast of town.

As WILL be seon by the table published below the February precipitation i Needed Let the District Furnish of moisture is the greatest chronicled in the history of Mendocino county. The storm has been a severe one although slight damage was done other than to the local railway.

Many slides have occurred on both ends of the line, and it will require many men and considerable time to put the road between this city and Willits into condition for traveling. The heavy rains wers also severe on lambs, large numbers having succumbed to the weather. Trains have been delayed and the morning and evening service temporarily discontinued. The crop prospects are, however, excellent and the outlook for the year splendid. For the month of February, as will be seen upon reference to Dr.

MR. send children to the public school, and it keeps me pretty nearly broke to keep them in clothes and books. Xoiv they bring tickets iiome for reserved seats for a show, and the children say tliat they have to sell them. I am poor but I am proud enough to prottjst against this kind of tiling. I don't want my children to peddlj tickets, and they shan't do it, even if the teachers aud trustees expel tliem for disobedience.

Have the trustees done this, or the teachers with tlie approval of the trustees? If none of these, wlio then has? It is printed on the tickets that the proceeds iire to be used for What kind of is it going to cost? This is a big district and it seems to me there ought to be enough money in the district to buy a bell if the trustees want one. If a bell was needed why didn't they put one up when they built the new school house. I don't care whether they have a bell or whether they have a steam whistle, but I do care when they order the children to sell tickets for a show, to buy one. I believe a matter like this should be stopped by the trustees I I have eaid my say on this kind of business, and there are a great many other parents who feel as I do if tliey would only speak out.

Elliot, both of Potter valley, were united in marriage at San Francisco Thursday last. The groom is one of Potter's most eminent citizens and most successful farmers, and his name is indissolubly connected with the history and growth of Mendocino county.

He lias long been a resident of P.jtter valley, and has very materially aided in its upbuilding. The bride is a well known leader in the social circles of her home town. The many friends of the bride and groom, extend their heartiest and THE PRESS wishes them a long and happy life. POLITICAL SURMISES. The Cominij Casualty.

Frank Redwine had a close call for his whiskers the other day. He had been attending the Zamlocli performances and was apparently imbued with the idea that he was the coming conjurer. He filled his mouth with gasoline, and, ejecting it, touched a match to the overflow. The com mencemcnt of the performance was on time.

Hen- Fred Kednall escaped from the con tretemps with only a ghastly smile. Pat Kenney of Bear Harbor, one of the old time residents of the coast, was in town during the week.

It is here Given Out What Will Probably be the Result. The political caldron is just beginning to simmer. While the Democrats are not very sanguine of favorable resulto for the coming fall campaign, they are nevertheless reaching out for the crumbs that may fall from the political table They naturally want everything, but expect little. If they can pick up the little from the inevitable debris they will be satisfied. The nominations they will make are plain.

Mike Thomas has'made an efficient ofiicer, and he will no doubt receive the nomination, W. G. Portge is scheduled for the museum of has-beens. Professor Barbee is well liked and will easily secure renomination, if San lord and Case permit. Pat Connolly is also likely to secure the support of the two gentlemen who control the Democratic party.

There is at present, it is said, no Democratic candidate for judge. J. Q.White and J. H. Sea well would both like the nomination.

J. C. Ruddock has been selected to lead the forlorn hope for the assembly. His parly always passes him a gold brick when no one else wil! the package. J.
