WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...OCTOBER 24, 1885 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. LITIGATION is plenty in Kern county over water rights. Seventy-one water cases have been transferred to the Superior Court of Tulare county because of the disqualification of Judge Arick of Kern. Verily, water is as much a source of mischief as whisky. The farmers of the great San Joaquin valley have fallen upon troubles times. There is a perfect epidemic of failures among them and the number of insolvency proceedings threaten to overwhelm the courts. San Luis Obispo, like Anaheim, has a small boomlet over the rumored extension of the Southern Pacific through the eastern part of that county. The Tribune thinks that within a year a branch road will be built from San Miguel to San Luis. C. M. ZULICK has been appointed Governor of Arizona. Unlike most appointments, this one seems to meet with favor among the people most interested. A dispatch endorsing the appointment was sent to President Cleveland by prominent officials and citizens of the territory. The Grand Lodge of F. & A. M. in session last week in San Francisco decided to support John Paul Davison Jones, aged 96 years, for the reason that he is certainly the oldest member of the Order in California and possibly the Senior Mason in the United States. He was made a Mason in 1810. The bridge of the S. P. R. R. across the river at Yuma was burned on last Saturday morning and the indications are that it was the work of an incendiary. A temporary bridge is being built, but it will require six months' time and $175,000 to complete the permanent structure. The bridge was built only two years ago to replace the one washed away by a flood. CHAUNCEY M. DEPWE of New York has furnished to the press an interesting bit of secret history which he heard from the lips of Gen. Grant. The gist of it is that President Andrew Johnson's intense hatred of the leaders of the rebellion made him desire the arrest and court-martial of the leading members of the Confederacy for treason, in flat violation of the parole which Gen. Grant had accorded them. To this action Grant would not consent and told Johnson that he would appeal to the country to assist him to prevent it. Subsequently Johnson was captured by the "taffy" which the Southern blue bloods gave him, and his vindictive feelings not only vanished but he desired to politically advance the very men he would have hanged a short time before. He therefore proposed to Grant that he (the President) should direct the Southern States by proclamation to send to Washington the same number of Representatives and Senators they were entitled to before the war and organize a Congress in which the South would predominate. To make the scheme successful Grant's co-operation was necessary, for, of course, the Northern members of Congress would raise a row. Grant told Johnson that his scheme would start the civil war anew, and not only refused to give it his countenance but threatened to drive a Congress so constituted out of the Capitol at the point of the bayonet. If all this be true, Grant's services to his country did not end with the war. There are two ways of piling up taxes, one by an increase of the rate and another by an increase of valuation. At Long Branch the Commissioners having no power to change the rate, have collected larger amounts of tax year after year by increasing the valuations. The system is to be changed next year and the rates will presumably be increased instead of the valuations. The real evil, however, is the amount of taxation, and the unhappy taxpayer is not likely to appreciate a change which is, after all, only a matter of form, leaving him just as much a sufferer from extravagance as ever. California authorities improve upon the methods of the Long Branch Commissioners, for here they not only increase the valuation but they also increase the rate of taxation. The assessed value of property in this county paid out this year bear and lion scars.

The bridge was built only two years ago to replace the one washed away by a flood. The suppression of oleomargarine is a problem which is apparently unsolvable, all attempts at it heretofore having failed of accomplishment. The bill passed by the last Michigan Legislature prohibiting the manufacture and sale of oleomargarine has been held unconstitutional by a Detroit Judge. John A. Wise, the Republican candidate for Governor of Virginia, is a chipper stumpeter and is never at a loss for a retort. To the interruption of an auditor in a country town who questioned some statement, Wise said: "I cannot be expected to discuss political questions with every little village flea; I am a big coon dog on a big coon hunt." This is not very elegant oratory but it is immensely "taking." The San Francisco Post says that the agreement recently entered into between the S. P. and the A. & P. railroad companies whereby the A. & P. is to have the use of the Southern Pacific lines from Colton to Los Angeles, and in return the S. P. is to have the use of the A. & P. track from Colton to Riverside, San Bernadino and Arlington, is binding and can only be broken on giving two years notice. The San Francisco Chronicle thinks the agreement between the A. & P. and the S. P. railroad companies will continue as long as the former secures a fair division of the business of Southern California. It would be as reasonable to expect that two cats would agree upon an amicable division of one mouse as that these competing roads will harmonize long over the trade of this southern country. The road from Riverside through Anaheim to Los Angeles will yet be built. A very elaborate and impressive service in memory of General Grant was recently held in the Hall of Congress in the City of Mexico. There was a beautiful stage setting in one end of the hall, one side of which was a deserted battlefield with the debris lying around in confusion, and on the other side was the same field in time of peace. In the centre was a magnificent funeral pyre with funeral tires burning around it. The building was packed with Mexicans and American visitors. As the cackling goose which saved Home caused the ungainly fowl to receive marked respect for a time, so the exploit of a cat in Atlanta last week should cause the exercise of forbearance and the discreet use of boot-jacks when one's slumbers are disturbed by feline concerts o' nights. The guests at the National Hotel in the Southern city mentioned, were kept awake by the unceasing caterwawaling of a full-voiced Thomas cat, but in the height of their indignation they discovered that their rooms were being filled with smoke and further investigations showed that the hotel was on fire. It was put out and next day the cat was decorated with a gold necklace by the grateful guests. Prop. Poinsdorff, who is looking after the wine interests of this State at the Louisville Exposition, has adopted an effective way of bringing the wine to public notice. He furnishes vials of claret and white wine, also small ones (2 ounces) of alder free to the one of the two lunch restaurants inside the Exposition, to be served with luncheons gratis. His Horse and his Knife. Old Spot, the saddle-horse Gen. Grant rode at the siege of Vicksburg, has been purchased for $11 by a circus agent. New York, Oct. 29 — Some years ago Gen. Grant lost a pennknife in a mailway accident near Long Branch. A day or two ago it was recognized by C. B. Webster, United States Consul at Sheffield, who had given it to Grant. The World says concerning it: Webster sent to a friend in this city asking him to secure it if possible, and yesterday that friend called and paid for it $100, which amounted to World hereby acknowledges, the receipt of which it will turn over to the Grand Monument Fund Commission. It seems a happy occurrence that the knife should find its way back to the original donor. Court House Burned. Baker City, Ogn., Oct. 21 — The contents of the various offices of the Court House burned yesterday are a total loss. The assessment roll, however, had been copied and a copy expressed to the Secretary of State. The records of the Circuit Court for the last two terms were burned. The system is so changed next year and the rates will presumably be increased instead of the valuations. The real evil, however, is the amount of taxation, and the unhappy taxpayer is not likely to appreciate a change which is, after all, only a matter of form, leaving him just as much a sufferer from extravagance as ever. California authorities improve upon the methods of the Long Branch Commissioners, for here they not only increase the valuation but they also increase the rate of taxation. The assessed value of property in this county was increased 20 per cent., and the tax rate is 45 cents on the $100 more than it was last year. Reform is necessary.

Virtue is its own reward—in London as well as in Anaheim. The editor of the Gazette—not the Anaheim Gazette but the one published in London town—has been indicted by the Grand Jury for abduction, conspiracy and indecent assault, because in his warfare against the prostitution of minors he had recourse to methods, otherwise questionable, of getting proofs of the facts he alleged in his newspaper. It is one of the most disgraceful episodes of the times and is evidence that there are those high in authority whose only hope of immunity from the consequences of their misdeeds is in the annihilation of their enemy. The village of Minussinsk in Russia has been troubled by the pest among its cows, and the conscript fathers of the community held a meeting to decide upon the best means of putting a stop to the calamity. It was agreed that resort should be had to the old Slavonic custom of round-ploughing. A Russian paper gives up account of the process: Seven virgins, two old women and a young bachelor of good character are elected. At midnight a procession of the peasants is formed, led by the two old women carrying pictures of saints. In the rear of the procession the seven maidens are harnessed to a plough, which is guided by the young man. A light furrow is ploughed around the village, and thereby, according to the belief of the local agriculturists, a barrier is provided against the evil spirit. He has no power to pass over the mystical farrow. Court House Burned. Baker City, Qn., Oct. 21. The contents of the various offices of the Court House burned yesterday are a total loss. The assessment roll, however, had been copied and a copy expressed to the Secretary of State. The records of the Circuit Court for the last two terms were burned. The fee books of the Sheriff and Clerk are burned and cannot be duplicated. The loss to the county is enormous, the delinquent tax lists being totally destroyed. The presumption is that the fire was started for the purpose of destroying the Court records and indictments against Shirley, charged with cattle stealing, who was granted a change of venue to Union county. The Court House will probably be rebuilt of brick or stone as soon as the County Court convenes. Attempted Assassination. Copenhagen, Oct. 21. A desperate attempt was made this afternoon to assassinate Premier Estrupp by a youth named Rasmussen, a compositor. Rasmussen fired two shots from a revolver at the Premier. When in the act of firing the third, the would-be assassin was seized by a couple of detectives. Rasmussen was hurriedly taken to prison. The first shot struck on Herr Estrupp's coat and glanced off. The second shot went wide of the mark. Rasmussen declared that his motives were political, as Herr Estrupp's conduct in the present controversy in Denmark is inimical to the state. Migrating Squirrels. Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 19. Millions of squirrels are emigrating from the Mississippi side over to the Arkansas shore, at a point commencing about five miles below Memphis and extending down for twenty miles. They are swimming the Mississippi river, and are evidently making for the more elevated ground in Arkansas. Thousands are being killed by the farmers, who by reason of their great numbers use sticks instead of guns. A similar emigration of squirrels occurred in 1872. Washington, Oct. 10. The origin of the device United States note, currency Cannon related to story: Among these Secretary Chase was Juvenile known bank President Mr. Patterson was a friend Chase's house, and in his Secretary's closest advice when the credit of the bill, which was to be retary's likeness, was some thought a pious or other ought to be set Scripture selections were guests. Finally the Secretary Patterson said: "Do you suggest as a motive said Mr. Patterson, 'the in mottoe, but seeing that me, I do think of a verse would be very appropriate asked the Secretary, interspersed in the Acts of law says: Silver and gold such as I have give I then immediately changed them evidently not pleased."

The Coroner's jury returned a verdict in accordance with the father's story. Our neighbors in Healdeburg and its vicinity have become fully accustomed to the necessity of a determined and energetic warfare against the worst pests orchardists have to contend with, the cotton-cushion scale. A few years ago this pest was introduced into this valley, and has increased wonderfully in the neighborhood of Healdeburg. In some of its streets whole rows of acacia trees are literally covered with them, reminding one of a winter scene in the East, when the trees are white with snow. The only way to eradicate these destructive insects is to cut down the trees where they have found a home and burn them. This people of Healdeburg have commenced to do, and whole rows of trees which have long been an ornament to their streets are now being removed. There is no use in trying to fight the pest with the ordinary appliances used for the destruction of insects. They are proof against everything but fire. Mrs. Fisher, whose husband and children were born to death at Warbelle, Linn county, Iowa, has been particularly unfortunate.

A Mrs. Anton Meidhoff of Pittsburg died the other day, to all appearances, after an illness of but four hours, and preparations for her burial were half gone through when she rose up in bed and looked around in a dazed manner. At last accounts she was rapidly gaining strength, and was considered in a fair way to recover. An illustration in natural science was given in a store at Columbus Junction, Iowa, recently. A lady came into the store and laid a large bundle of cotton batting on the show counter in the winter in such a position that the sun's rays were focused upon it, and in a few minutes it was blazing. It was seen in time to prevent the spread of the flames. The Highland schottliebe is to be the society dance this winter, according to a New York professor. It was imported from Scotland, and will be introduced at all first-class academies as soon as the dancing season turns open. It is a combination of a high-fidelity linger and galop. It has caused trouble among the fashionables of London and Glasgow. The mistakes made by dragonets billing prescriptions has attracted the attention of drug legislators and a hall has been introduced in the House by Mr. Johnson of Norveen, providing that bottles or packages containing sulphates or morphine or other deadly poisons shall be put up in scarlet wreaths, and that the name of the particular poison shall be placed thereon in white letters. A terrific explosion of gas took place in No. 2 stope of the Delaware and Hudson Coal Company at Plymouth, Pa., on Wednesday. Of the fifteen men burned four have since died. The accident was caused by a minor who entered the abandoned portion of the stope which was marked "dangerous," with a naked lamp in his hand, thereby living the gas and causing a terrific explosion. A twelve-year-old Dakota girl, taken up into the air by a cyclone, carried out of sight, and brought easily down in a field a quarter of a mile away, describes her sensation while transit as that of being rapidly and constantly pricked by thousands of needles.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT AT A meeting of the Directors, holding on the 31 day of October, 1855 an assessment (No. 10 of fifty cents per share) was levied upon the capital stock of the corporation payable on or before Nov. 30, 1856; to the secretary of the corporation at his office in the Town of Anaheim, California. Any stock upon which this assessment shall remain upheld on the 31 day of November, 1856 will be delinquent, and advertised for sale at public auction; will be sold on the last day of November, 1856; to pay the delinquent assessment together with costs of advertising and expenses of sale. A few years ago this pest was introduced into this valley, and has increased wonder fully in the neighborhood of Healdsburg. In some of its streets whole rows of acacia trees are literally covered with them, reminding one of a winter scene in the East, when the trees are white with snow. The only way to eradicate these destructive insects is to cut down the trees where they have found a home and burn them. This the people of Healdsburg have commenced to do, and whole rows of trees which have long been an ornament to their streets are now being removed. There is no use in trying to fight the pest with the ordinary appliances used for the destruction of insects. They are proof against everything but fire. All this trouble which the Healdsburgers are now having probably came through a mistaken idea of economy. It is said the pest was first introduced here by trees purchased in San Jose, where the pest abounds. These trees were offered cheaper than trees raised in this valley could be bought, and hence many were induced to buy them, and now they must take the consequences. The Motto on the Two-Dollar U.S. Notes WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.—Speaking about the origin of the device for the two-dollar United States note, Comptroller of the Currency Cannon related the following interesting story: Among the intimate friends of Secretary Chase was Joseph Patterson, the well known bank President of Philadelphia. Mr. Patterson was a frequent visitor at Mr. Chase's house, and in fact was one of the Secretary's closest advisers during the days when the credit of the nation was somewhat impaired. One night, at dinner, the question of a motto for the forthcoming two-dollar bill, which was to be adorned by the Secretary's likeness, was under discussion. Some thought a pious phrase of some kind or other ought to be selected, and various Scripture selections were suggested by the guests. Finally the Secretary turned to Mr. Patterson and said: "Mr. Patterson what do you suggest as a motto?" "What is it?" asked the Secretary, interested. "It is the verse in the Acts of the Apostles, which says: Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have give I thee." The Secretary immediately changed the subject. He was evidently not pleased. At Indianapolis last Friday night a negro hostler, Harrison Tasker, inveigled a German girl, named Helen Huendlend, into his room, and brutally outraged her. He was arrested, Sunday, for the crime, and Tuesday morning was taken into court for examination. While the case was proceeding, Meinred Huendlend, the girl's brother, drew a revolver and shot Tasker in the body, the ball penetrating the right abominal wall, and producing a probably fatal wound. Before another shot could be fired, the infuriated German was seized by the officials, and disarmed. A scene of confusion ensued. The court was adjourned. Tasker was conveyed to the City Hospital. The physicians give no hope of his recovery. Huendlend was removed in custody of the officers and lodged in jail. Wine Prices.
