A press club has been organized in Los Angeles, and a thousand-dollar banquet is in anticipation. The Gazette staff has subscribed $364 to the lunch fund. There are only five delinquent stockholders in the A. U. W. Co. Unless the assessments are paid immediately the list will be published on next Saturday. Candidates for Assembly in this district are making a very quiet, still hunt. We suggest the name of Dr. H. W. Head of Gospel Swamp to our Democratic friends for nomination.

Juan Salvatory, who was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Smythe in Anaheim some weeks ago on suspicion of insanity, has been adjudged insane and sent to the Stockton Asylum. There will be water in the Anaheim company's ditches to day, to-morrow and Monday, and spasmodically thereafter until the new sandgate is completed, which will probably be in ten or twelve days. The Board of Supervisors of the Anaheim county have formed ways and means to protect for the association of their constituents in the matter of roads and bridges, and are evidently endeavoring to discharge their duties and fulfill the wishes of the people. Bids have been advertised for to construct three bridges across the Santa Ana River, one west of Riverside, one at Rincón and one between San Bernardino and Old San Bernardino. The Santa Ana river traverses the breadths of Los Angeles county and has for many months been impassable except at one point, there being but one bridge across it within the limits of the county. Our supervisors are occupied in the important matter of laying pipes for re-election. The comparison shows a difference that will not militate favorably to the success of the aspirants. If you want any information about registration call on Theo. Himpau or at the Gazette offer, But call before Thursday. Mrs. F. E. Haines and daughter, of New York, made a brief visit to this town a few days since as guests of Mr. E. A. Saxton. Mrs. H. is Secretary of the Woman's Executive Committee of Home Missions of the Presbyterian church, and is making an official tour in connection therewith, having just returned from Alaska. Her visit to Southern California is with official reference to Protestant church service among the Spanish population, anumber of the friends of which, American and Spanish, met her at the house of Mr. Saxton, where a very pleasant evening was spent in interchange of views on the subject. Mrs. H. has previously addressed large audiences at San Francisco, Los Angeles and other places in the State. The Los Angeles County Agricultural Association announces that the first annual fair will be held in Downey City on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, October 7, 8 and 9.

The Anaheim Brass Band and a band from Pasadena will enliven the affair with their music. Admission to the fair proceeds in fee. DOWN INTO DISTRICTING Which Shows Mr. Wightman to his Sunday, and Thursdays to Pollution Minute. We are in possession of some facts furnished to the character and standing of O. Wightman, of Garden Grove, which think it is a simple matter of justice to publish, in view of the fact that this paper published an extract from a letter written left steyson, which contained an uncomprehensive allusion, and intimated that Wightman had been guilty of peculiar heartless conduct. His affectionate steps wrote that Mr. Wightman had disposed his property, deserted his wife and six children, leaving them "in bad shape financially" and declaring that he is a crank of first water. Mr. Wightman came to Anaheim a few weeks ago, purchased a piece of land at Garden Grove, has settled permanently there, and as he desires good opinion of his neighbors he gave us version of his domestic difficulties the other day in such a way as to impress us with the truth of his statement. Mr. Wightman or was possessed of considerable property and it was to obtain this property that he has been persecuted for years by his stepsmen and by his own family, who were influenced by that individual. One of the means employed to gain their end was to have him rested on a charge of insanity. On medical testimony he was discharged by the Court the physician pronouncing him perfect sanne. A divorce was sought by his wife but that also failed of accomplishment. He avoid further persecution he converted some of his property into cash and came to California hoping to be let alone. He did not leave his family in bad shape financially, but on the contrary he left them two comfortable houses, from both of which they are getting rent, and twenty acres of improved land Moreover, the five children (not six, as stated by his stepsmen) are well grown, the younger being eleven years of age and the older twenty, so that they are abundantly able to make their own way in the world. The object of the endeavor to find him Mr. Wightman thinks is that, not knowing how much portable property he brought with him, and supposing that it is more than Juan Salvatory, who was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Smythe in Anaheim some weeks ago on suspicion of insanity, has been adjudged insane and sent to the Stockton Asylum. There will be water in the Anaheim company’s ditches to day, to-morrow and Monday, and spasmodically thereafter until the new sandgate is completed, which will probably be in ten or twelve days. The names of Samson Edwards of Westminster and Sidney Holman of Fairview are mentioned in connection with the Republican nomination for Supervisor in this district. J. J. Blaikie, a carpenter of Los Angeles, fell from a tank house on which he was working last week and sustained injuries from which he died on last Saturday. Donease leaves a wife and two children who reside in Placerville. It costs nothing to place your name on the Great Register. The penalty of not having it there is that you can't vote at the November election. The opportunity to see a great actor like Sheridan is not so frequent that our people can afford to miss the performance to be given at Santa Ana on Monday evening. There will probably be a large number of our people attend the performance. The regular meeting of the Republican Club on Saturday evening next will be one of immense interest. The committee is engaged in arrangements to provide good speaking which will be interspersed with vocal music. Ladies are invited to be present. At Cahnenga district on Friday morning of last week, a girl named Franklin, aged 14 years, was seriously burned by the explosion of a coal oil lamp which she was carrying. Her father and mother were also burned in helping their daughter. The girl died on Saturday. A fall in ostrich eggs is reported from Anaheim. Formerly they were worth $1200 a dozen; now they are only worth $1000. S. F. Chronicle. The Chronicle is mistaken. We have heard of no sales of ostrich eggs at less than $1200 a dozen. Every vote counts. Every male citizen should register. Thursday is the last day. The Indians, who are wont to swarm into Anaheim during the grape-picking season, have so far failed to put in an appearance. Their absence is accounted for by the fact that watermelons, corn and acorns are abundant this year. They will not leave their mountain homes as long as they have something to eat. The Los Angeles County Agricultural Association announces that the first annual fair will be held in Downey City on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, October 7, 8 and 9. One thousand dollars will be paid in premiums, besides several special premiums for best lady rider, prettiest baby and other specialties. The Anaheim Brass Band and a band from Pasadena will enliven the affair with their music. Admission to the fair grounds is free. A large crowd is expected which will not be annoyed by the importance of the sporting element, as no liquor, gambling nor pool selling will be permitted. The loss of one vote in every precinct in the State may turn the election one way or another. Therefore register before Thursday. If the railroad company pay the Los Angeles papers anything for publishing their time table they are not getting the worth of their money. The schedules as printed lie like a Democratic platform. According to the schedule the train for Anaheim and Santa Ana leaves Los Angeles at 9:35 A.M. and 4:50 P.M. Superintendent Hewitt should impress upon the live publishers of the offending papers the advisability of devoting five minutes to a correction of the delusive schedules, to the end that travelers are not misled by the false information therein given. The fifth annual fair of the Sixth District Agricultural Association will open at Los Angeles on Monday, Oct. 13th, continuing during the week. The premium list has been published in pamphlet form and is extremely liberal. Ample accommodations have been made for the convenience of people desiring to camp out during the fair, Agricultural Park Grove having been procured for that purpose. The fair will doubtless eclipse the displays of former years, as the officers of the association are sparing no pains nor labor to ensure a success. The Los Angeles Times and Herald should massacre their mailing clerks with a nonpareil shooting stick. The Anaheim train does not leave Los Angeles until about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and yet the mailing clerks do not get the morning papers into the Los Angeles postoffice in time to have them sent out on the train. Twice during the present week, to-wit: Tuesday and Thursday, the papers named failed to reach here. But perhaps the mailing clerks are innocent. The managers of the Illinois State Fair held last week hit upon a novel and successful plan to increase the attendance. A free ticket of admission was issued to every school child in the State. This brought the fair and its attractions to every breakfast table in the State, and resulted in the attendance of over 30,000 people on the fair grounds upon one day. The attention of his property into cash and came to California, hoping to be let alone. He did not leave his family in bad shape financially, but on the contrary he left them two comfortable houses, from both of which they are getting rent, and twenty acres of improved land. Moreover, the five children (not six, as stated by his stepson) are well grown, the younger being seven years of age and the older twenty, so that they are abundantly able to make their own way in the world. The object of the endeavor to find him Mr. Wightman thinks, is that, not knowing how much portable property he brought with him, and supposing that it is more than he really is, they intend to devise some means to bleed him still further. In anticipation of further trouble Mr. Wightman secured the following testimonial dated May 20th, 1894, which is signed by twenty or more of the prominent citizens of Ridgefield, Ohio, where he last resided: We the undersigned have been acquainted with Thelima O. Wightman for a number of years, and think him to be a strictly honest truthful, quiet, obliging, industrious and judicious man. Club Meetings. The Republican Club met Monday evening F.C. Smythe was called to the chair and E.J. Pellegrin acted as Secretary. A constitution and code of by-laws were read and adopted. An election of permanent officers then followed with the following results President, J.B.Pierce; Vice-Presidents, Richard Melrose, C.E.Lenard, N.HMitchell, Theodore Reiser, R.J.NorthamSecretary, Fred.C.Smythe; Treasurer,C.E.Groat; Sergeants at Arms,D.D.RichkE.K.A.Wite; Executive Committee,R.J.Northam, James W.Landell,Tneo.Reiserr,N.H.Mitchell,Frank Ey. The regular meetings of the club will be held every Saturday evening, at which an interesting programme of exercises for entertainment will be provided by the executive committee. Expenses incurred by the club are to be raised by voluntary subscription, thereby obviating the necessity of fees for admission to membership or assessment of members. The club roll now contains over 70 names. After nominating candidates for delegates to the County Convention to be voted for today, the Club adjourned until its regular meeting to-night. A general posting of hand bills, an anvil, a bonfire and a band of music gathered an audience of about seventy-five at Kroger's Hall on Saturday evening. The meeting, after resolving itself into a Democratic club, was addressed by B. Chandler in a peculiar and unique oration which was greatly appreciated by the thirty or forty Republicans who were present. Col.Harrison also delivered an address. The club has a membership of over forty. The officers will be elected this evening. It is a duty which every lower of his country owes to his country to vote for his convictions. Therefore register before the 25th inst., so that you can vote in November. Personal. Every vote counts. Every male citizen should register. Thursday is the last day. The Indians, who are wont to swarm into Anaheim during the grape-picking season, have so far failed to put in an appearance. Their absence is accounted for by the fact that watermelons, corn and acorns are abundant this year. They will not leave their mountain homes as long as they have something to eat. On Monday night last an inmate of the house of N. H. Mitchell was awakened by two prowlers near an open window. Mr. Mitchell, armed with a blenderbus, essayed forth to ascertain the business intent of the marauders, who, taking in the strength of the advancing arsenal, retreated in double quick until lost in the darkness. The Democrats and Republicans each had a toreblight procession in Los Angeles on last Saturday night, and the Republican parade was admitted to be the biggest. They were away ahead in the matter of music, having hired all the city bands. The Anaheim band was telegraphed for, but the notice was too short and they didn't go. A constable is to be elected in November. A President also, but that is of small importance, comparatively. Therefore get your name on the Great Register. The corner-stone of the Sisters' Hospital was laid on Sunday afternoon in Beaulry Park, Los Angeles, in the presence of a large concourse of people made up of military, fire department and civic societies of Los Angeles. The oration delivered by Col. John F. Godfrey is reported to have been one of the masterly efforts for which that gentleman is noted. Manuel Hignera, convicted of murder in the second degree, he having been concerned in the killing of J. A. McIntyre, was sentenced on Saturday to imprisonment for fifty years. The sentence is not as ferrousable as it appears; because, by the peculiar system of credits which obtain at San Quentin, the imprisonment will be reduced to twenty-nine years and eight months if he behaves himself. The new Photographic Studio in the P.O. Block will be open for business on Monday and Mr. Pallegrin responsfully requests those desiring pictures to call as early as convenient as he will leave for his Riverside Gallery on the 1st of October to be given two weeks. Oil Product of Los Angeles It may not generally be known to what magnitude the production of petroleum in Los Angeles county has attained. The anticipated output of crude oil for the present year is estimated by the Bulletin to be 10,-731,000 gallons from the twenty wells operated by the Pacific Oil Company in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. The belt of country containing oil deposits is not accurately known, but sufficient boring has been done to establish an area of much greater extent than that of the oil fields of Pennsylvania, and although the quantity of oil deposits has not yet been developed by the shallow boring thus far practiced, it is manifest that the production is to attain considerable importance in the world's supply. The wells near Anaheim are said to be located within the oil belt, and are producing with indications of increased quantity of oil as greater depth of boring is made. Grape Prices This is the time of year when the grower of grapes feels a natural anxiety as to the price which wine-makers will pay for the product of his vines. It has been customary for some years past for the heaviest buyers of grapes to meet in Los Angeles and fix the price which they considered ought to be paid. The same course was pursued this year, and at a meeting held in Los Angeles last week the following prices were agreed upon: Muscat, $14 per ton; Mission, $15; foreign varieties, $20; these prices to rule until after November 1st. It should be stated, however, that the firm of Dreyfus & Co. of Anaheim are not in this combination, they considering that the price fixed for Mission grapes was too low. We do not know what they are paying for that variety of grapes, but believe they are paying $20 per ton for foreign varieties. Personal. J. W. McKinley, a prominent member of the Los Angeles bar, and Dwight Whiting, director of the Ostrich Farming Company, were in town on Wednesday. J. H. Moesser, Supervisor of this district, was in town on Wednesday. He is a candidate for re-election, subject to the action of the Republican Convention. He reports the political outlook at Santa Ana to be most hopeful. Mrs. W. A. Clinton of Los Angeles is visiting friends in town and is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. John Hartung. Miss Mary Smith and Rufus Milam left on Wednesday for Missouri, the former for Lexington and the latter for Kansas City. Col Hall has been engaged in Internal Revenue duties with Anaheim wineries for several days. Miss Katie Bremmerman, after a month's absence visiting friends, has returned to Anaheim. Misses Amy and May Saxton have gone to Los Angeles as pupils of Ellis Villa College, the new institution of learning of which Rev. D. W. Hauna is Principal. S. M. Wren and H. R. Hanna are about to open a first-class grocery establishment in East Los Angeles. Success to them. Church Notes The members and regular attendants of St Michael's Episcopal church are requested to be present at the evening services to-morrow (Sunday), as the Rector has a matter of importance to the parish to bring before the congregation. There will be preaching and baptismal service in the Prebyterian church to-morrow at 11 a.m. Service of Song at 1:30 p.m. All invited.

Mr. Green will preach in German at the Evangelical new church every Sunday afternoon at half-past two. Rev. Mr. Ballinger will preach in German church every Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m. In possession of some facts in relation to the character and standing of T. Wightman, of Garden Grove, which we have simple matter of justice to publish of the fact that this paper can extract from a letter written by a man, which contained an uncompli-illusion, and intimated that Mr. Wightman had been guilty of peculiarly conduct. His affectionate stepson of Mr. Wightman had disposed of it, deserted his wife and six chil-ing them "in bad shape financial-creating that he is a crank of the Mr. Wightman came to Ana- new weeks ago, purchased a small land at Garden Grove, has settled only there, and as he desires the son of his neighbors he gave us his domestic difficulties the other way as to impress us with the statement. Mr. Wightman is accused of considerable property, to obtain this property that he persecuted for years by his stepson town family, who were influenced individual. One of the means entain their end was to have him charge of insanity. On medical he was discharged by the Court, Brian pronouncing him perfectly divorce was sought by his wife, so failed of accomplishment. To her persecution he converted some forty into cash and came to Cali- ing to be let alone. He did not family in bad shape financially, butrary he left them two comfortable on both of which they are getting twenty acres of improved land. The five children (not six, as stated on) are well grown, the youngest ten years of age and the oldest that they are abundantly able to town way in the world. At the endeavor to find him, man thinks, is that, not knowing portable property he brought with supposing that it is more than it One report of the conversion of the Ana-holm Township school, detail Association was undertaken last week, but will be none the less interesting for being a little late. The association not pursuant to call in the Presbyterian church where the Sunday schools in the sowship, as it is called, were represented by delegates from nearby the whole district, which comprises all the territory lying south of the feathills and between the Santa Ana river and Coyote creek. There are fourteen schools in thus association with a membership in teachers and scholars of over six hundred and an average attendance of about four hundred. Two new schools have been recently started and are now making good progress—one at Al-mitos under the efficient management of Mrs. Susan Beckett and one at Placentia, superintended by Mr. Thos. Strong. Both these schools are doing good service, and are in growing neighborhoods. An effort was made to revive the school at Fairview where Miss Elwell, of Philadelphia, visiting a relative in that neighborhood for a few weeks, gathered the children together for several Sundays, and there will probably be a continuation of the school, Mr. B. Silkwood having volunteered to give it his attention and interest. The attendance was large, especially in the afternoon and evening. After the ice was broken the various subjects on the programme were discussed with animation, and an evident intention on the part of those taking part to obtain all the good they could from the interchange of ideas and opinions. At noon, and again in the evening, the good people of Westminster took in the visitors from all each other in extending to them the hospitalities for which they have become justly celebrated, the only complaint being on the part of a few who wished to entertain more than they could have apportioned to them. An invitation was extended from the Garden Grove people to the association to meet at that place at their next session—the regular annual meeting in April—and at the instance of good old Brother Lamson, who had brought nearly a dozen head of corn.

At noon, and again in the evening, the good people of Westminster took in the visitors from all the surrounding country and vied with each other in extending to them the hospitalities for which they have become justly celebrated, the only complaint being on the part of a few who wished to entertain more than they could have apportioned to them. An invitation was extended from the Garden Grove people to the association to meet at that place at their next session—the regular annual meeting in April—and at the instance of good old Brother Lamson, who had brought nearly a wagon load of provisions with which "to entertain strangers," but had been himself taken off for entertainment by others, it was decided to have the noon meal a social affair in the Garden Grove or elsewhere. Everyone present appeared to be pleased and profited, and the next meeting is already an assured success if there is anything in resolutions. The County Convention meets at Los Angeles the latter part of the month. The Bugs Must go [L. A. Herald.] A meeting of fruit-growers was held on Friday at San Gabriel to devise ways and means to destroy the insect pests that threaten destruction to the fruit-trees and grapevines. After a discussion of the importance of the work it was resolved to incorporate a society for the better promotion of the object intended. In pursuance of this sentiment a committee was appointed, consisting of J. De Barth Shorb, J. R. Dobbins and A. B. Chapman, to propose articles of incorporation for the Fruit Grower's Association of the San Gabriel Valley. The object of this association is the extermination of the white cottony cushion scale, and the extermination of other fruit pests of the valley. The directors are to be J. D. Dobbins, L. J. Rose, J. De Barth Shorb, J. M. Tiernan, T. H. Shoemaker, A. S. Shoemaker, A. B. Chapman, James Foord, A. C. Weeks and E. L. Mayberry. This is a move in the right direction, and if the fruit-growers of this city will unite with this organization in the work of extermination of fruit pests. The California Southern. [San Diego Union.] We interviewed Superintendent Victor, of the California Southern, yesterday in regard to railroad matters, and among other things he said: "I have now a pretty good force of men at work, but not near so large a one as I would like to have. I have experienced great difficulty in getting laborers and it has taken over a month to get my present force. The force I now have has been scattered along through Temecula canyon where heavy work has to be done, and good progress is being made. I am now centering my endeavors to put on a force of two hundred men on the division between Temecula and San Bernardino. However, the track of this division is not in very bad condition and it will not take very long to repair it Dominic Lieb keeps the best native wines and brandies.

A Flood in China The following particulars are related of the recent flood in the Kiang Sai Province: At King Tak, a chief center of the pottery manufacture and one of the four great markets of the Empire, an inundation has taken place, causing much loss of life and damage to property. The waters began to rise on the first day of the sixth Chinese month (the latter part of July), and in four days had submerged the country, in some places to the depth of sixty or seventy feet. Pottery furnaces, houses and shops were swept away by the flood, and when the waters began to retire, the whole district was filled with floating corpse too numerous to be taken up and buried. Hundreds of bodies still remain to poison the atmosphere, and spread resilence around. An eye witness reports that from seventy to eighty thousand persons have perished by the inundation, and adds that others living on the spot estimate the number of victims to be even greater.
