WEEKLY GAZETTE. County Official Paper. SATURDAY... MAY 20, 1882 Now that the waters of the Mississippi have receded, the cry of the people in all the section so recently overflowed is not for bread, but quinine, for malaria has begun its fearful work and the "specific" is prized more than gold. GUITEAU must swing. The Judges before whom was heard his petition for a rehearing have denied his prayer, and will announce their formal decision on next Monday. This was the assassin's last chance, and he will be hanged on June 30th. Sergeant Mason, who tried to anticipate the hangman by shooting at Guiteau, has also suffered an adverse decision. His case was appealed, but the Court has denied him a new trial and directed that his sentence be carried into effect. It is thought the President will pardon him after a time. The Committee on Public Lands have reported favorably on Senator Farley's bill to extend the time for making proof and payment on desert land entries. The bill provides that in all cases where declaration of intention to reclaim desert land has been filled, and satisfactory proof of the reclamation of the land has not been made, or shall not hereafter be made, within three years after filing the declaration of intention, and the failure to make proof is due to the difficulty in getting water, or to the great labor or expense in constructing irrigating ditches, or to some other cause not prejudicial to the validity of the entry or the good faith of the party making the same, the time for making proof and final payment is extended two years. Proof of good faith and intention, in the application for extension, must be made NOTES OF TRAVEL—No. IV. The surroundings of San Bernardino are very pleasant. The mountains are not very far away, and the streams are numerous and trout are abundant. Lumber is abundant and easily obtained. What with plenty of water for irrigation, pure artesian water to drink and tor household purposes, a rich soil and a pleasant climate, the people ought to be satisfied and they seemed to be. To one who has lived for several years near the coast the weather would seem quite warm in summer, but not of the oppressive kind of heat that prevails in the valley of the Mississippi. The court house is a fine building, and naturally makes a resident of Los Angeles county ashamed of our rattletrap; but the same mistake was made there that was made in this county. The fair heritage originally belonging to the county has been squandered, and only a portion of a block reserved for a court house, and stables and outhouses now encroach on the court house grounds. If the land that was donated to a selfish and grasping church had been reserved for the public use it would have been much better for the people. On Sunday we went to the Congregational church and listened to a fine sermon from Rev. Ford. In the afternoon we attended Sabbath School at the Mount Vernon school house. I was astonished to see such a large attendance, over eighty I believe—there was such a large proportion of the settlers young men and women. It is often the case in small towns, and even country places, that the young men think lightly of Sunday School and its teachings. They feel that they are too large to go to Sunday School and try to amuse themselves in some way that is often not conducive to good morals. On Monday morning we bade good bye to Judge Morris and his interesting family and started home. They told us that after leaving the valley we would have to travel fifteen miles over the desert before reaching Cocamonga. After forcing one or two clear When Garfield was shot, there were not wanting moral abortions here and there who rejoiced at the foul crime. The murder of Cavendish and Burke in Ireland, while repudiated by all true friends of Ireland, yet finds many who justify the deed. Ignorance, prejudice and bad passions have so beclouded the minds of these men that they only see in the murder of these two men some retribution for past wrongs against the land of their birth. When the telegram was read during the progress of a meeting of the Land League in San Francisco, announcing the Phoenix Park murder, great cheers were given, and subsequent allusions to the murder by speakers (who condemned them) were received with applause. At a mass meeting in New York, called to denounce the murders, a large element was present who cheered for the "killers," hurrahed for "dynamite" and attempted to prevent the adoption of resolutions strongly condemnatory of the deed. The Irish Republican Brotherhood, a strong organization, has not only avowed itself in sympathy with the assassins but claims the credit of originating the murder. A Tennessee paper publishes the following: Among the various differences that exist between the North and South in their business methods and manner of transacting business, there is one but few of our Southern people have ever thought about. We allude to the course pursued by the creditor to the debtor. In the North when a merchant fails his creditor invariably compromise with him at whatever he may pay and then starts him in business again. It is not so with the Southern creditor; he will take the last cent and then abuse the debtor for not having more. By the former course the Northern creditors reinstate thousands of men of fine business qualifications and more than reimburse themselves in a few years. We give the Northern people no superior credit over the Southern people for generosity, but we do give them credit for more financial sagacity. They reason from a "loss and gain" standpoint, and very justly come to the conclusion that if one of their debtors is hopelessly broke he can never be of any more profit to them if the poor fellow is kept in that condition, so they compromise sometimes at ten cents on the dollar and intention to reclaim desert land has been filled, and satisfactory proof of the rectamation of the land has not been made, or shall not hereafter be made, within three years after filing the declaration of intention, and the failure to make proof is due to the difficulty in getting water, or to the great labor or expense in constructing irrigating ditches, or to some other cause not prejudicial to the validity of the entry or the good faith of the party making the same, the time for making proof and final payment is extended two years. Proof of good faith and intention, in the application for extension, must be made to the satisfaction of the Commissioner of the Land Office, under such regulations as he may prescribe. On Monday morning we beade good bwe to Judge Morris and his interesting family and started home. They told us that after leaving the valley we would have to travel fifteen miles over the desert before reaching Cucamonga. After fording one or two clear streams of water we ascended a small, steep hill and were on the desert. It did not have the appearance of a desert. The scant grass was green and various hued flowers were in profusion. A pleasant breeze was blowing from the south, and once or twice we crossed a ditch of water. This day's drive was the pleasantest and most comfortable we had during our travels. About noon we arrived at Cucamonga, a small settlement near the base of the mountains of the same name. The village proper was a very quiet, sleepy sort of place. We did not see much of the renowned vineyards, but such as we did see were in fine condition. We found a fine stream of running water soon after leaving the store and concluded to eat our lunch and rest our horse. The water was cool and pure and clear. We made some coffee and enjoyed our rest very much. We drove on over the so-called desert to Pomona, a quiet place near the railroad a few miles from Spadra. We stopped long enough to look at the school house, which is quite an imposing building for such a small number of pupils. The grounds about the school house were beautifully laid out and the trees had obtained a good size and furnished abundant shade. Evening was approaching, and we made our way to Spadra. This place for some reason seemed to impress my wife as the most homelike of any she had seen, and it was decided that if we made a move at all we would go there, always provided we could find some way to make a living after we got there. We have heard since that it is very, very warm there in summer, but we have learned to take all such assertions with a grain or two of allowance; for the gentlemanly proprietor of Rubottom's Hotel assured us that they always had a sea breeze as soon there as they do in Los Angeles. While at the same time he was praising his own place he told me about an attempt a friend of his made to raise cattle where Riverside now is. He said his friend bought a band of Texas cattle and moved them into that locality, but that after a short time he had to drive them away or they would all have starved to death. There is no danger of any one starving to death there now, for there is plenty of work and plenty of money to pay for it. The drive through the foothills to Anaheim was delightful. The old horse seemed to know that he was going home and despite his twenty winters made good time. There was some water still in Brea canyon.

On sparkling wine made in the United States, except that made by the regular process of natural fermentation of carbonic acid gas in the bottle, and on all imitations, there shall be levied and collected a tax of 10 cents per bottle or package containing not more than one pint and 20 cents per bottle or package containing not more than one quart, and at the same rate for any larger quantities of such merchandise, however the same may be put up or whatever may be the package; also on all compounds of wines and liquors by the infusion of any matter to be sold as a substitute for wine. Still wines made from grapes, currants, rhubarb or berries grown in the United States, not compounded with any foreign substance, shall be exempt from special tax. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue shall cause to be prepared suitable and special stamps, denoting the tax herein imposed, to be affixed to each bottle or package containing imitation wine, by the person manufacturing, compounding or putting up the same, before removal from the place of manufacture, compounding or putting up; and said stamps shall be affixed and canceled in such manner as the Commissioner may prescribe; and the absence of such stamp from any bottle or package containing such merchandise shall be prima facie evidence that the tax thereon has not been paid, and such merchandise shall be forfeited to the United States. Any person counterfeiting, altering or reusing said stamps shall be subject to the same penalties as are imposed for the same offense in relation to proprietary stamps. At Orland, Colusa Co., on Wednesday, the house of Brigge Flaok, was burned. Miss Ripe, aged twelve, a sister of Mrs. Flack, died in the flames, and Mrs. Rice and child were probably fatally burned. A young man of Red Bluff dressed himself as an Esthete, and, on a wager, invited Miss Emma Voller to accompany him to an entertainment. The young lady did not know that her escort was dressed in this ridiculous fashion until she reached the place of amusement. She was mortified and indignant at such treatment, and when she learned that he had requested her company only to win a bet, she became, as the Tehama Toccia says, morbid and excited, and seemed to dwell so heavily upon what she considered a disgrace, that her mind became disorganized and she refused all sustance, and suffered the most intense mental agony and died.

WHEREAS, There has been removed from our midst, by the hand of death, brother John F. Marquis. Be it Resolved, That we, the L. O. G. T. of Westminster, recognize in his removal to the grander temple beyond, the loss of one who, while here, was a constant and earnest advocate of the cause of Temperance and Humanity; one who as a citizen always worked for the best interest of any community in which he was placed, and as a friend one that could always be depended upon. Resolved, That we as members of Westminster Lodge No. 228 I. O. G. T. do hereby tender to the wife and family of our former brother, our heartfelt sympathy in this time of their great affliction, and would remind them that as "sorrow endureth for a night but joy cometh in the morning," so their trial "is only for a moment here 'twill all be over soon,'" and that in a little while they will all meet again in that abiding place beyond, where sorrow never comes. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the wife and family of brother John F. Marquis, and to the Anaheim Gazette for publication, and that a copy be placed on file for preservation of the lodge. Signed M. A. KIRFHABER, OREN B. BYRAM, MISS BIRDIE LEFFLER.

EDITOR GAZETTE:—The brutal assassination of two high officials of the British Government in Ireland has shocked all friends of human progress and especially the friends of the Irish people. I have not the slightest doubt that the deed of blood was committed for the sole purpose of causing the government to forego its recently adopted common sense and humanitarian policy of conciliation, and to renew its cruel and entirely fruitless coercion. It is contrary to reason and to common sense to assume that any friend of Ireland or of its people was guilty of the deed, for no same person acts without a motive and no friend of Ireland could have any motive for murdering the man who had been the instrument of the government in commencing the policy of peace and goodwill. The men who allowed such tyrants as "Buckshot," Forster and Clifford Loyd to go unpunished would certainly never imbrue their hands in the blood of one who never had an opportunity to deserve their emmity. But there are those against whom Gladstone committed an unpardonable crime when he signed the documents liberating the suspects. The so-called "emergency men" by the change in the policy of the government will be thrown out of an easy and lucrative employment. It is grist to their mill to have coercion in full swing with its endless opportunities for committing outrages against the peaceable inhabitants without fear of legal penalty; for EGGS, per dozen, 20@22c.

Edwin Stevens, aged about 11 years, left his home at Grass Valley about 2 o'clock on Friday to go gunning. He was found near the outskirts of town about 6 p'clock the same evening, dead, with a hole through his head. He had a single-barrel shotgun with bim which had recently been discharged, and it is supposed that he stepped off a trestle-work and fell, discharging the gun with the above result.

It is grist to their mill to have coercion in full swing with its endless opportunities for committing outrages against the peaceable inhabitants without fear of legal penalty; for it is notorious that neither policemen, emergency men, nor other minions of the government have ever yet been brought to trial even, not to say punished, for any of the numberless murders, maimings, and other outrages they have committed against the unfortunate people who are subject to their power. If the authorities really desire to discover the assassins they must look for them, not among the Land Leaguers, not among the Nationalists, not among the terrible Fenians even, but among those who are interested in maintaining in Ireland the rule of tyranny and brute force, instead of that of right, truth and justice. The great body of the people desire peace and goodwill, while the perjured informers, the emergency men and such characters wish nothing better than a continuance of the reign of terror that obtains under the enforcement of the coercion act. They are the murderers, though as is natural their best endeavors will be used to throw the blame on to other shoulders, and to make it appear that the foul deed was done by Land Leaguers or Fenians. John J. Bodkin. Sec. Anaheim Land League. On Sunday a farmer residing near Buttes, Sutter county, fatally stabbed a Frenchman named Napoleon, then killed a dog with his knife, stabbed a cow and set fire to his granary and house. The house was saved, but the granary was burned. The loss has not been learned. He then started for town, where he was found and arrested, having on him, in one sleeve, a knife, and in the other a candle. His name is Joseph Hier. He had been sick for two weeks. The man watching him fell asleep, and during this time Hier dressed and started out. Finding the Frenchman in an outhouse in bed, he slashed him with his large knife in two places. He tried to get at his wife and children, but they were locked in their room, and their lives were thus saved. He is now in the Sutter County Jail and is quiet.

For this purpose I will sell goods at the lowest market rates possible, for Cash or Produce, and feel assured that it will be for the benefit of all parties.

THE GREAT STORM Of January 12th, 1882, which injured or destroyed scores of Windmills in Los Angeles County proved conclusively that the CALIFORNIA WINDMILL is the only one that can stand, uninjured, a heavy gale. Although some of nearly every other manufacture was destroyed, so far as known one of the California Mills put up by the undermined 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 case and no lessness of its work, in the beauty of its design and finish and in the marvelously low price at which it is sold. I will furnish these Mills with Pumps and Tanks and set them up in complete running order at the lowest possible rates. For further particulars call upon or address S. E. SMITH, Anaheim, Cal.
