The vineyardists are now commencing to gather their of wine The crop is not a heavy one, but is about an average. The warm weather of the past week has been very beneficial in maturing the grapes for wine-making." The price paid local wineries for home raised grapes is $20 per ton. Of course, this varies slightly, some may command a trifle more, others somewhat less, according to quality of This, however, is a very satisfactory price from the view point of the vineyardists, and leaves a good profit for the wine manufacturer.

It is rarely that the yield of wine grapes is less than a ton per acre, and the quantity of wine produced from a ton of grapes runs from 100 ton to 150 gallons. The wine sells in the local market for 50 cents per gallon, tin wholesale lots. There is money yet in grape raising, and wine-making. Years ago the wine men were compelled to send the wine to the Atlantic coast, gett ing only between 30 and 40 centa per gallon. Now this export business is done away with, as they can readily dispose of all they can produce to California buyers, and at much better Change in Stage Line.

John Raggio, who is the contractor for carrying the mail between Mokelumne Hill and Jackson, and who sublet this right to Mrs M. Folger, with the right, it is claimed, to resume the same at any has notified her that he will take the line back. The change is expected to go into effect next month. Since the mines at Angels have resumed operations, tbe travel between Jackson and Angels Camp has increased materially. The same stage that will run between Jackson and Mokelumne Hill will also ply between this city and Martell, as the combined length of the line from Martells to the Hill is about eight miles, and can easily be made with the same horses Jand driver.

The proposed change is in the direction of economy. Log Wagon Goes Through Bridge. Monday evening a heavily loaded log wagon belonging to, and driven by Joe DrendeU, broke through the bridge on the road that turns off by Bradshaw's place, about a mile from Pine Grove on the main county road to Volcano. Fortunately he hurt nor were any of his horses pulled into the creek with the wagon. Tbe wagon was' only slightly damaged, but the bridge is a total wreck.

Drendell has threatened to sue the county for the damages sustained, even though it was a well known fact that the bridge would not carry any such a load as he put on it. Pine Grove School Holds Debate. "Was. Linooln a greater man for the country than Washington?" was the subject of a debate held last Friday afternoon between pupils of the Pine Grove school. The affirmative side, composed entirely of girls, won the debatevwith a great deal of credit to themselves.

The contestants were Misses Ethel Walker, leader; Madge Luttrell and 010 Werley as against Donald Fisher, leader; Dubel Jbisher and Donald Bradshaw. While all the speakers acquitted themselves very well, a great deal of credit is due Miss Watrous, who has charge of the school.

Brown is having erected on the lot adjourning the present general store of Win. Tarn, is intended for enlarged quarters for Tarn's merchandise business. The framework is up. It will be Jined with boards on the inside and ceiling, with galvanized iron on the outside and roof. When finished W.

Tarn will move the whole of his stock into the new store. It has a wider frontage, although not quite so deep as the present store, including the saloon in the rear. It is probable, however, that he will devote the new premises to the merchandising business in which event it will be much more commodious anict convenient than the old quarters. High School Journal.

County School Superintendent Greenhalgh has issued a call for the county teachers' institute to meet in Sacramento on Tuesday, October 22, continuing until the 25th inclusive. At that time the teachers' association of Northern California will hold its session in Sacramento, and Amador county, wisely we think, elected to join that body in holding its institute this year.

The institute will in fact be merged in the general body. Nine counties will hold their institutes in conjunction with the association, namely: Amador, Butte, Nevada, Yolo, Colusa, Glenn, Placer, Sacramento and Tehama, while three other Yuba, Sutter and Shasta will meet during the same week and abjourn to the Sacramento meeting. A reduction of one-third fare on the return trip has been secured'from the railroad company, making a two-third rate for the round trip, and special arrangements will be made for accommodations at tbe hotels and private boarding' houses in the oapital city. It is estimated that over 1000 teaohers will be present. Broke a Rib.

Johnny Peek, the driver of the baggage wagon plying between Jackson and Martells, broke a rib early in the week. He was using a jack in prying up the wagon, and in some way the jack flew up striking him in the ribs. Upon consulting a doctor, he 'was informed that a rib was fractured, and that he would have to quit work for a few days. Charley Rugne is driving the baggage wagon instead during his lay-off. Schools all Supplied.

Every school in Amador county has been supplied with a teacher. This year there was experienced more difficulty than ever before in getting teachers. For a time, jit looked as though one or two districts would be left without a schoolmarm. But the exertions of the school superintendent, in conjunction with the trustees, finally succeeded in getting all the schools going, and the outlook is bright for prosperous year from an educational view point.

H. D. Emerson was taken in charge by Sheriff Gregory, Saturday eve'niog, and place in the padded room. of the county known as the insane ward. He was found acting strangely.

The city 'marshal went to bis cabin near South Jackson, ou information from neighbors, and that ho was laboring the' impression that hoodlums were annoying him: that 'they were gathering about bis dwelling for the purpose of disturbing him. He was armed with a gun. The matter was reported to the sheriff, who went to investigate, and found Emerson walking up Broadway, carrying bis rine. He took the gun away from him, and then accompanied him to the hospital, locking him in the ward as above stated. Emerson was evidently unduly excited, acting queerly, as the effect of taking dv overdose of some powerful drug, which he was in the habit of using when mining in the big tunnel at Middle Bar, td overcome the eltect of the powder smoke.

He conversed rationally on all subjects, except the matter of the annoyance from hoodlums. He is ingenious in mechanism and machinery, as the authorities soon In a very short time after be was placed in captivity it was reported to the sheriff that he had effected his escape. waa ryinted up again, and taken from bis cabin and restored to the same ers in the hospital. This time the windows and every- avenue of escape was cut off, and 'it was believed a night's sleep would fully restore him to normal condition. Bat the captive did not want to sleep just then; his mind was working on the problem.

Soon he was met between nine and ten o'clock traveling home-, ward. Some, hospital: patients who were around saw him leaving the grounds, and remarked, "There he goes again." For the third, time he was ferreted out, and returned to the hospital, and extra precautions were taken to guard against escape. Everybody retired for slumber, except the man who waa laboring under the impression that he was being restrained of his without sufficient cause. He was busy devising ways and means to get out. Next morning, sure enough, "the -bird had flown." This time the lock was gone.

He had managed to get the best of it in some mysterious manner. He was found around town, joking and telling the fact of his escape. officials were nonplussed. They wanted to know the modus but this satisfaction he refused to give, unless they pungled up one hundred dollars for the tip. They don't know yet bow he got.

out. They concluded that if he possessed skill enough to thwart them three times in succession in that many hours, he might just as well he allowed at large, without any further efforts to curtail bis liberty. It was simply a temporary spell of hallucination, and he has been all right ever since. i 7 BURNING FEET Most people have them this month, especially after an outing and a long tramp.
