LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK. Politics and Irrigation Stalk Hand in Hand. Candidates for Office Thick as Hopper in a Kames Whent Field - Names of Some Who are Willing to Act as Directors of the Irrigation District - The City Election Temps Also, but Candidates are likely for Municipal Homes. The political pot is simmering just a little. During the past week its even tenor has been ruffled here and there with a ripple now and again that announced the entrance of another candidate into the arena. In another week the pot will be created with smoking and steaming eruptions, and thereafter its eruptive caloric will be little less than volcanic. This condition will not subside until a new Board of Directors has been elected to rule the Anaheim Irrigation District for the next two years. The election takes place on Wednesday, April 24 next. Despite the Board of Directors it will be necessary to elect an Assistant Collector and Treasurer. There are five precincts in the irrigation district, and polls will be opened each, as announced in these columns last week. Candidates for Director are thick in each precinct, except at Yorba, where Captain Wrede is promised a walkover. In town voters are talking of running Director Zayn again, and others suggest F. A. Korn. Adolph Rimpan is considered a dark horse. Joana Schorn, who was asked to run, will not allow his name to be used. It is hard to say who will receive the caucus nomination, but, judging from the talk on the street, Mr. Zayn can have the place if he wants it. At Fullerton, J. Hunter, incumbent, and President of the board, desires to be returned for another term, but the ground will contested, so the political oracles say, by Messrs. B. F. Porter, W. J. Smith, G. W., responsible and Dr. Spencer. It is too early to determine at this date between which of the above-named gentlemen the contest will summer down to, but during the coming week probably lines will be more closely defined. Mr. Hunter's announcement of his candidacy will be found in another column this morning. Broadbear, because the firm had not been established in business for six months or more prior to August 29, 1809. That the board violated the commands of the section and sub-division of said Act, and exceeded its powers in entering into the contract with said firm. That the board violated the provisions of said sub-division and section of said Act, in hearing, considering and allowing said claim in this: The services were not itemized, and the dates not given, as required by Section 41; and said services were not rendered pursuant to said Section 25, sub-division 23 of said Act, and were not certified by the Tax Collector of said county. That said publication was not made in the manner and for the time required by Section 3764 of the Political Code and therefore the board exceeded its powers in allowing the same. Defense claimed the county had not been established six months at the time the board awarded the contract. The court stated that while the political organization of the county did not exist, still the territorial fact did exist. Santa Ana is in the same place territorially, therefore, as it was before the creation of Orange county. Judge Towner issued a writ returnable on March 24th next, when the Free Press company will be given a chance to appear in court to show cause why their bill of $244 80 should be paid. In the mean time all proceedings on the said claim and the allowance thereof is stayed until that date. THE CITRUS FAIR. Annaheim Given the Place of Memor in the Orange County Exhibit. The Citrus Fair opened in Los Angeles on Tuesday evening with a great crowd of people in attendance. The opening address was delivered by J. DeBarth Shorb and Governor Waterman also made a speech. The Orange county exhibit is at the left of the entrance and is universally admired. Its position is one of prominence, and the fine oranges displayed evoke words of commendation from all who pass. The name "Orange county" is worked in tangerines upon a background of amilax and evergreens. Anaheim has the place of honor, Tustin and Santa Ana being next. Among the Annaheim exhibit are the following displays: Louis Schorn—Two boxes of seedling and Mediterranean Sweet oranges and China lemons. Leonard Parker—Mediterranean Sweets. W. G. Potter—Two boxes of seedlings. J. B Tombs—One box Australian navels. R. H. Gilman—Two boxes Mediterranean Sweets, two boxes St. Michaels, one box Australian navels. Albert Rimpan was born gales on a business trip year. S. 8. Federman is in him in his new spring stock of oceans. Geo. Back, formerly of Riversa, was in town on Captain Scrisber of Companies, was in town on last T Dr. Head of Garden Grove an active part in the countryside was in town yesterday has many friends over this. N. Hart and J. Landell near Silverado on Sunday, now being taken out, annoyed to the ton in some instances — Professor Davidson and people who laid the base lie some months ago are expecting a few weeks to carry an angulation and fixing the co W. A. Witte last yesterday to Nevada, where he has interests. He goes in on gentlemen of Pasadena and will be absent two or three Gilbert Landell, who has verado mines for some time for a short visit. Gilbert is looking men in Company G., ocurs in the lisutenancy of this evening's election, Gibert for the place, so his friends Robert A. Meyler, brotherer U. S. A., who spent some catchfish farm some months ago At Fullerton, J. Hunter, incumbent, and President of the board, desires to be re-elected for another term, but the ground will be contested, so the political oracles say, by Messrs. B. F. Porter, W. J. Smith, G. W., Spenable and Dr. Spencer. It is too early to determine at this date between which of the above-named gentlemen the contest will summer down to, but during the coming week probably lines will be more closely defined. Mr. Hunter's announcement of his candidacy will be found in another column this morning. At Fairview the names of T. J. F. Boege, D. Greeley, Judge Pierce and Alexander Henry are mentioned in connection with the office. Director Ryan, representing the present, having resigned from the board and declining a re-nomination, his name is not mentioned, although he was undoubtedly one of the strongest members of the old board. At Placentia, the oracles have it, there will be a teeth-and-nail contest over the office, and it will require a careful counting of the ballots to determine the successful candidate. Already there are named Messrs. W. M. McFadden, W. Crowther, A. T. Penellaton, R. H. Gilman and D. J. Kraemer. Captain Wrede, the solitary candidate mentioned for the office at Yorba, will unobtitedly be re-elected, but he will miss the usual election-day excitement that will on the portion of his confreres in the other premises. For Assessor of the district Max Neebeling will ask for re-election. Max is peculiarly adapted to this work, having fitted himself for the service in many years of experience. As yet no candidate has appeared above the surface of the political pot to run against him. Collector Cadman will be a candidate for re-election. It requires no stretch of candor to say that he has managed the affairs of his office in a manner alike creditable to himself and to the district. W. A. White informs us that, at the solicitation of many friends, he has decided to be a candidate for the nomination of Collector. H. D. Polhemus of Miraflores is also mentioned as a candidate for Collector. Col. F. H. Keith announces that he is in the arena for Treasurer to stay and does not propose to get out of it until the ballots are all counted on the evening of election day. The friends of Theo. Rimpau are urging him to be a candidate for Treasurer. B. F. Porter requests us to say that he declines to act as judge of election in Fullerton precinct. He will have too much to an election day to allow of his sitting on the election board. His place will be filled by the electors of the precinct, who have it in their power to appoint any voter to act in his place. Poll open one hour before sunrise and close at sunset. The new board will meet on the first Wednesday in May, and proceed to elect a Presidian and appoint a Secretary. Dr. Gardiner, the efficient Secretary of the board, will doubtless be continued in office, as his work has all along been uniformly satisfactory and his place is hard to fill. The City Election. The election for three members of the Board of Trustees, to fill the expired terms of Trustees Boege, Goldthwaite and Cadman, takes place on Monday, April 14 next. There are also to be elected a Treasurer, a Marshal, and a City Clark, who is also ex- Among the Anaheim exhibit are the following displays: Louis Schorn—Two boxes of seedling and Mediterranean Sweet oranges and China lemons. Leonard Parker—Mediterranean Sweets. W. G. Potter—Two boxes of seedlings. J. B. Tombes—One box Australian navels. R. H.

French—One box Washington navels. Silney Holman, Theo. Strain and Theo. Rimpau have each one box of very nice oranges on display. Messrs. Korn, McFadden and Langenberger have samples of wines on display. The entries in Class I embraces exhibits from San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Orange, Santa Barbara, San Diego and Ventura. Latest advises are that Orange county will press its neighbors for the third prize, it being almost certain that San Bernardino and Los Angeles will carry off the two first premiums. First prize, $500; second, $200; third,$150. In Class 2, which contains exhibits from many localities, there are displays from Anaheim, Santa Ana, Riverside, Pomona and fourteen other orange growing localities throughout Southern California. Our display compares well with any of them. First prize, $200; second, $100; third,$75. Class 3 embraces exhibits by any individual of Washington navel oranges. There are thirty-three exhibitors, among them being Colonel Keith of Anaheim. First prize, $150; second, $75; third,$50. In Class 4, embracing exhibits of budded oranges other than Washington navels, there are thirty-four exhibitors, among them being as in Class 3, the fine display of Colonel Keith. In both cases his oranges are of the very beat, and he ought certainly to get away with some of the premiums. First prize, $150; second, $75; third,$50. Class 5 contains individual exhibits of seedling oranges. There are twenty-seven exhibits among them those of Louis Schoorn and Colonel Keith, both very fine. First prize, $150; second, $75; third,$80. There is no contestant from here in Class 6, for exhibits of budded lemons. Class 7 is for exhibits of Washington navels, not less than one box. There are twenty-nine exhibitors, Colonel Keith being among the number. First prize, $50; second,$25. In Class 8, for varieties of budded lemons, there are thirty-four exhibitors, but none from this locality. Class 9 contains exhibits of late budded oranges, not less than one box. There are twenty-seven exhibitors among them R.H. W.A.Witte left yesterday to Nevada where he has an interest in the lisutenancy of this evening's selection; Gibraltar for the place; so his friends Robert A.Meyler,brotherlier U.S.A.,who spent so much farm some months as summation at the Westminster Angeles Saturday night last had been a sufferer of the dry long time,and came to Anakate his health.Decided wof amiable qualities and his mourned by all those who knew The Spelling Book Quite a crowd of people Kroeger's Hall on Monday oress the spelling skule,given spices of the school cadets announced that all who might do so.P James actor Dr.Bullard was pronounceerinfor the prize began,thebetween spellers on different hall Dr.Gardiner trippedredintegrate,and Dr.Higginssponge on cabala.Elmer H spell cactus,A Arthur Lewis stu lions,and Mrs.Horr and L.A remained until all others had down,"failed on calefactory prizespelling began Dr.G head of the line,Led offwith ing went on until a little ladhe head missed the firstwritethe prize offered for that distin tin whistle.Almer Holmari insipid,and was presented therafter.L.A.Deamond couldn'tand Dr.Gardiner shortly after sang in balletejah.Mrs.Hword correctly and was pronounce alterthe others in the rntingbeen "apelled down."The lady's dressing case and shaving mug and razor.Mrs.much use for the latter,bethaisel one of her scholars that haththe prize if she won it,the razor were selected as the prizing,and forthwith presented tothe beardless youngster.will have but little use fnext decade,here phanty.Dr.Gardiner chokeone in the hall to spell aprize,the contest to be anbackward,但found no takeanother spelling skulewill bethe near future.

Dr. Gardiner, the efficient Secretary of the board, will doubtless be continued in office, as his work has all along been uniformly satisfactory and his place is hard to fill. The City Election. The election for three members of the Board of Trustees, to fill the expired terms of Trustees Boege, Goldthwaite and Cadman, takes place on Monday, April 14 next. There are also to be elected a Treasurer, a Marshal, and a City Clerk, who is also ex officio Assessor. Trustees Reiser and Littlefield hold over under the city charter. Max Nebeling announces that he will be a candidate for re-election to the office of City Clerk and P. James will in all probability be called upon to act as Treasurer for the ensuing term. There will probably be a contest for the other offices, the frames of the candidates being withheld. A town census will probably be called shortly to name candidates. The City Recorder is now an appointee of the Board of Trustees, and consequently no election for the office will be held. The election for Captain of Company G, Rice Wood, term expired, takes place this evening. A lot of election-searing has been going on during the week between friends of Captain Wood and Lieut. Lewis. Both sides are sanguine of electing their man. Should the latter be elected a vacancy will occur in the First Liaisonanoy, which will be filled after the election of Captain. Writ of Certiorari. The application of Josiah Ross of Santa Ana for a writ of certiorari to the Board of Supervisors of Orange county came up in the Superior Court at Santa Ana last Friday. The matter is in reference to the act of the Supervisors in awarding the contract for the printing of the delinquent taxlist to the Santa Ana Free Press, for which a warrant was drawn in payment last week amounting to $244 80. The writ claims the Supervisors trespassed their jurisdiction in the following particulars: That the board had not, and has not, at any time during the fiscal year 1899-90 fixed the price at which the county shall be supplied with job printing, blank books, and also the price of all county advertising, as provided by an Act to establish a uniform system of county and township government, approved March 14, 1883, and the amendments thereto. That the board violated the provisions of said motion and sub-division of the Act in awarding the job printing and advertising of the county to Osborne & Sheriff Harris Accidentally Shot. While Sheriff Harris was returning from Los Angeles one day last week with a couple of prisoners whom he was taking to Santa Ana, he was accidentally shot by his pistol falling from his pocket. The ball entered the fleshy part of the right leg, struck the bone, glanced around it and was extracted from the fore part of the leg when the Sheriff arrived at Santa Ana. The accident happened on the Southern Pacific road near Downey, and before the train arrived at Santa Ana the Sheriff suffered a considerable loss of blood and came near fainting, necessitating the application of restoratives. The wound was bandaged soon after the accident as possible, and on arrival at Santa Ana, the wounded man was taken to his home and medical aid summoned. After the ball had been extracted, Mr. Harris rested easily, and has been steadily improving during the week. It will be some time before he will entirely recover the use of his limb. Story of Tommy Hughen. Tommy Hughen, the barber, thinking it would be cheaper to throw up his job in Franta's tonsorial establishment and skip out of town rather than remain and pay his creditors, took a notice to Sy to Los Angeles on Monday morning's early train. He was exped wending his way down Center seedling oranges. There are twenty-seven exhibits among them those of Louis Schorn and Colonel Keith, both very fine. First prize, $150; second, $75; third, $60. There is no contestant from here in Class 6, for exhibits of budded lemons. Class 7 is for exhibits of Washington navels, not less than one box. There are twenty-nine exhibitors, Colonel Keith being among the number. First prize, $50; second, $25. In Class 8, for varieties of budded lemons, there are thirty-four exhibitors, but none from this locality. Class 9 contains exhibits of late budded oranges, not less than one box. There are twenty-seven exhibitors, among them R. H. Gilman. Premium, $25. There are several unimportant classes, in which there are no exhibits from here. As complete list was published in these columns two weeks ago, there is no necessity of publishing them again. Supervisor Littlefield is one of the judges in Class 2. Our Fair reporter noticed that he had a sparkle in his eye as he looked at the Anaheim display. R. H. Gilman is one of the judges in Class 3. He still insists that Anaheim raises the finest oranges. Wrestling Match. The wrestling match between Morris Wetnal took place morning, resulting in a draw. Was won by John, who throw Henry, immediately relaxing his claim was made and allowed shoulders had not touched fall resulted. The next bout came way John throwing his own a few minutes of wrestling.

Gilbert Landell, who has been at the Silverado mines for some time past, is in town for a short visit. Gilbert is one of the best-looking men in Company G, and if a vacancy occurs in the lieutenancy of the company at this evening's election, Gib is just the man for the place, so his friends say.

The Chasmanian annalt one, which was to have come up before Judge Townser on Tuesday, was postponed on account of an irregularity in the papers of appeal from the lower court. The officers of the city election are probably one and all ashamed of being compelled to act with D. W. Hudson, the术orous dandelion thief; friend and cowardly accordral.The Board of Trustees are deserving of commute in placing such a notorious person of disrepute on the election board.Hudson has searched a friend in town,and he should be ridden out of here on a rail.

Robert A. Meyler, brother of Lieut. Meyer, U. S. A., who spent some time at the patrick farm some months ago, died of consumption at the Westminster Hotel in Los Angeles Saturday night last at 9 o'clock. He had been a sufferer of the dread disease for a long time, and came to Anahaim to recuperate his health. Decased was a young man of amiable qualities and his death will be mourned by all those who knew him. The Spelling Skule. Quite a crowd of people assembled at Kroeger's Hall on Monday evening to witness the spelling skule, given under the auspices of the school cadets. Prof. Garwood announced that all who desired to spell night do so. P. James acted as referee and Dr. Bullard was pronouncer. Before spelling for the prize began, there was a contest between spellers on different sides of the hall. Dr. Gardiner tripped up on the word indintegrate, and Dr. Higgins threw up the ponge on cabala. Elmer Holman couldn't spell cactus, Arthur Lewis stumbled on calcuona, and Mrs. Horr and L. A. Deamond, who remained until all others had "spelled down," failed on calafactory. When the prize spelling began Dr. Gardiner, at the head of the line, led off with ice, and spelling went on until a little lady sitting near the head missed the first word, but declined the prize offered for that distinction—a little whistle. Elmer Holman failed to spell sipid, and was presented the whistle shortly after ran against a bag in balloijah. Mrs. Horr spelled the word correctly and was pronounced the best seller, all the others in the meantime having "spelled down." The prizes were lady's dressing case and a gentleman's wearing mug and razor. Mrs. Horr had not used for the latter, but having promised one of her scholars that he should have the prize if she won it, the shaving mug and razor were selected as the prize of the evening, and forthwith presented by Mrs. Horr the beardless youngster. Although he will have but little use for it in the next decade, he bore the prize off triumphantly. Dr. Gardiner challenged any one in the hall to spell against him for prize, the contest to be spelling words backward, but found no takers. Probably other spelling skules will be arranged in near future. A Curtessa Discovery. While repairing a gold watch for a report of this journal the other day, R. Luedke, a jeweler, made rather a curious discovery. Noticing his private number on the side of the case, he referred to his books and found that he had first repaired the match in San Francisco in 1857. Subsequently the watch came back to him to be paired at various intervals, the last time in '82, while its owner was temporari- Letters for the following persons remain uncalled for at the Postoffice: R. Arballo, Louis Area, J. M. Robert, Tim Collins, William A. Irwin, Mrs. Leah Leonard, Mrs. Addie McConloch, Mrs. Nathomial Mission, A. Pommer and Sup't. Bavarian.

He came into some notorious recently by taking a dose of landanum with suicidal intent. Rev. John W. Elliott, for some time past pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of this city, was married at Santa Ana yearday to Miss Alexander, formerly of Anaheim. The happy couple will reside at Los Angeles in future, Mr. Elliott having signed his pastorate here. Dr. Pfeninger has had a photograph taken of his cluster of seedling orangees now exhibition at the Citrus Fair in Los Angeles. The fruit is surmounted with the placard "The Pride of Anaheim," and makes an excellent showing of what may be accomplished here in citrus culture. The road between here and Olive is being repaired. It was left in very bad condition by the heavy rains of the past few months, the gullies and washouts being in some instances no less than eight feet deep. The roadway has since been in an extremely dangerous condition, but will soon be in good order. A footrace between Morris Wetzel and a Mexican, one hundred yards, took place at Fullerton on Sunday. The Mexicans claimed Wetzel fouled his antagonist, and decided to call the race a draw, although the whites maintain Wetzel won fairly. Several horse races followed, participated in principally by Mexicans from the surrounding country. After usual Sabbath morning services in the Prebystaterian Church last Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. Gene D. Wright were baptised into the church by Rev. John W. Elliott. Quite a number of the members of the church were present and assisted in the services appropriate to such occasions. Mr. and Mrs. Wright are newcomers here, and will prove valuable acquisitions to our community. A practice game of ball was played on Sunday on the home grounds between the home nine and members of the Westminster club and others. The game was devoid of features, except the heavy batting of Matt Everhardy, surnamed Back Ewing. The grounds are being leveled and placed in prime condition. Match games are being arranged with the Artemis and other clubs throughout the valley. The prizes offered to the best marksmans of each company at target practice at Camp Diamond last summer are now being sent out from the Adjantant-Genral's office. Private Bardrow, having made the best score among the members of Company G, is the A Curious Discovery. While repairing a gold watch for a report of this journal the other day, R. Luedke, a jeweler, made rather a curious discovery. Noticing his private number on the side of the case, he referred to his books and found that he had first repaired the watch in San Francisco in 1857. Subsequently the watch came back to him to be repaired at various intervals, the last time in '82, while its owner was temporarily nojoining in Anaheim. For six years after the watch had got its repairing done in San Francisco, and when taken to R. Luedke last week, he at once noticed the mark, which every jeweler puts upon a watch repaired by him, and looking up the keeper's history, found traces of it written in book no less than thirty-three years ago. His private marking is done so minutely that an ordinary observer would never notice the fact that his watch was branded on the sides of its case with inscriptions of the date of its repairing, and the accompanying number, so that the name of the owner can be looked up whenever the watch is taken. The jeweler again to be repaired. Mr. Luedke's books go back to '51, being one of the oldest records in the State. Several times, while in San Francisco, years ago, the record game near being destroyed by fire, fortune favored it and it is still treasured by its owner as though worth many tens of its weight in gold. Wrestling Match. The wrestling match between John Smythe and Morris Wetzel took place on Sunday morning, resulting in a draw. The first fall won by John, who threw Morris heavily immediately relaxing his hold, when the man was made and allowed that as both challengers had not touched the ground no resulted. The next bout resulted the way John throwing his opponent after two minutes of wrestling. After some discussion a fall was allowed. The third bout ended in Morris being thrown, but no fall allowed, only one shoulder being on the hand. The stakes were finally drawn and match called a draw. John is thinking winning a challenge to any man of his right in the country, catching each man out of five. Morris was once a papal Whistler, the celebrated world's champion. Needs for Best. The house on Cyprus street, opposite City Water Works. Apply to Mrs. Prohling. REMEDY FOR PAIN A CERTAIN CURE FOR TOOTHACHE. Sunday on the home grounds between the home nine and members of the Westminster club and others. The game was devoid of features, except the heavy batting of Matt Everhardy, surnamed Buck Ewing. The grounds are being leveled and placed in prime condition. Match games are being arranged with the Artesias and other clubs throughout the valley. The prizes offered to the best marksman of each company at target practice at Camp Diamond last summer are now being sent out from the Adjutant-General's office. Private Bardrow, having made the best score among the members of Company G, is the fortunate guardian here, and a few days ago his medal was received from headquarters. The decoration is most acceptable and will doubtless be highly prized by Mr. Bardrow. Mrs. Reuter, who kept a millinery store here some time ago, was arrested at Santa Ana last week, charged with having received goods alleged to have been stolen from the Brunswick Hotel. The articles consisted of bad linen, table spreads, lace curtains, rugs and other articles need about the hotel. Mrs. Reuter's residence was searched by the officers and the mining goods found in a large box in rear of the house. The woman was placed under arrest, together with several others alleged to be implicated in the robbery. She was bound ever in $600 to appear before the Superior Court. A visit to Tun Carroll's nurseries will convince anyone that he is doing a land-office business. Every day teams are held in waiting for their turn to be leaded with trees for transportation to all parts of Southern California. Several carloads are sent weekly to Santa Barbara, Arizona and elsewhere. Mr. Carroll keeps about thirty men employed constantly; maintaining the services of an expert bank-keeper.
