HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK A Most Bountiful Downpour of Glorious Rain. An Inch of Moisture in Nine Hours, and More Predicted—Creps Assured, and Everybody Jubilant—Balloon Ascension—Off for Mexico—A Trip to Olive—Assembly—Social Notes. The rain came down during most of yesterday morning in a dosultory drizzle. Part of the time it descended in sharp showers, and once in a while would resolve to come down in torrents, and down in torrents it came. Those who were caught out in it can attest to its splendid quality of wetness. It rattled on roofs and against window panes, dripped from porches and awnings and ran from water-spouts in a manner to jubilate the honest farmer. The streets were muddy, in places impassably so, and pools of water stood around everywhere, looking on in seeming astonishment at the remarkable change in the weather. It was a great sight, to be sure, and is worth a million of money to us, as one honest granger puts it. For many days past the weather had been most unaccountably dry. A trip over the valley showed hundreds of acres of grain more or less in need of moisture. In patches the leaves showed a disposition to curl up and turn yellow. Twice during the past two weeks we had good indications of rain, but each time the north wind swept down and carried the clouds away. Many gave up the idea that we should have any more rain this season, and some began to talk of a dry year. And the croakers — we must not forget them. They just sat around and croaked. If rain doesn’t come inside of three days, chanted a pair of them in unison, a few days ago, we’re all gone to the demission bow-wow. But since the rain their name is Mud. Rain had been predicted since morning. At M. Cahen’s signal service station the rain flag flapped morrily in a warm wind that blew up soft from the southern sea. It was a rain wind, and people said that if it kept up during the day we should have rain sure enough. It was the first time the rain flag had been out for some time, and it was watched with eager interest during the day, as were also the black clouds that rolled up from the south southeast. The precipitation did not begin until about 3 o’clock yesterday morning, and at daylight night the strains of an orchestra from Pasadena which furnished splendid music. During the evening refreshments were served by the Native Daughters. Among those present were Capt. and Mrs. Ei Browning, Mr. and Mrs. Rust, Mr. and Mrs. Thacker, Mrs. Landell, Mrs. Lawns, Mrs. Scott, Mr. and Mrs. V. Browning, Mrs. Schaubert, Miss Jettie Arthur, Miss Lute Bailey, Miss Lula James, Miss Marie Horatmann, Miss Clara Mossamann, Miss Selma Roller, Misses Dora and Minnie Zeyn, Miss Kate Champlin, Miss Mai Polhemus, Misses Fanny and Maggie Higgins, Miss Jessie Witte, Misses Cora and Stella Lewis, Miss Minnie Spencer, Miss Lottie Beckington, Misses Fritzie Heimann, Stella Scott, Jesse and Winifred Melrose, Bessie James, Zelma Bailey, Daisy Landell; Messrs. Fred Smith, George Whitaker, Dick Murray, Dr. Ballard, Dr. Clark, Ed Amerige, E. M. Cadman, H. Allman, H. Rice, Harry Arthur, L. Bailey, Charley Wommer, Doe Road, Billy Magoffin, S. Adams, Adair Scott, G. and H. Stredtheff, A. Luedke, E. Booge, G. Landell, L. Koerner and others. Miss Arthur’s next assembly occurs on the evening of April 23. The indications are that it will be a largely attended and very enjoyable affair. Trip to Olive. Through the courtesy of J. P. Zeyn a representative of the Gazette was driven last Sunday on a visit to Supervisor Schern at his new residence at Olive. Mr. Schorn’s dwelling is a commodious structure situated on a hill to the north of the mill, and commands a very fine view of the surrounding country. On any clear day the ships in the harbor at San Pedro may be easily seen from the balcony. The land is being improved and soon will be one of the finest places in the country. Many other residences are being built in the neighborhood and signs of improvement are seen on all sides. Through the kindness of Mr. Schorn the party was shown through the large tunnel which is being built by the Santa Ana Valley Water Company. The tunnel had been in use for several years but lately was found secure and had to be rebuilt. It is 700 feet in length, six feet in diameter and walled in with cement, making a fine piece of work. Twenty men have been employed on the work for four weeks and the structure will cost about $5,000. The water company is also cementing several hundred feet of ditch at the mouth of the tunnel and are otherwise improving their water facilities. The party made the trip through the tunnel and found the work had been substantially done. Since the work of repair on the ditch has been going on the Olive mill, which uses the water from the ditch as motive power, has been run by steam, and the cost for fuel alone has amounted to upwards of $900.

But since the rain their name is Mud. Rain had been predicted since morning. At M. Cahen's signal service station the rain flag flapped merrily in a warm wind that blew up soft from the southern sea. It was a rain wind, and people said that if it kept up during the day we should have rain sure enough. It was the first time the rain flag had been out for some time, and it was watched with eager interest during the day, as were also the black clouds that rolled up from the south southeast. The precipitation did not begin until about 3 o'clock yesterday morning, and at daylight it could be seen that quite an amount of moisture had fallen. Puddles of water were forming, and the rain kept on merrily deserving. Everybody was happy. A dry season had been averted. The rain comes just in the nick of time. The grain needs it badly. Within a radius of five miles from Anaheim there are thousands upon thousands of acres in grain. In the Ia Habra valley there is a tract of some two thousand acres seeded to grain. It is all new land, never having been plowed before, and with this rain it will make splendid crops. Without the rain much of it would hardly have made hay. And the same is true of grain throughout this valley. With this rain, good crops are assured. At noon there were indications of clearing, after an inch of rain had fallen. The sun came out, and the wind shifted around to the west. The total rainfall for the season amounts to 5.87 inches; total last year to date, 12.75 inches. We are still some six inches behind our last year's record, but the inch of rain yesterday did more good than the best three inches of rain in November or December we ever had. During the afternoon the weather was cloudy, and last evening the indications were good for more rain. Another rain like it, and we shall have a glorious season. The Balloon Ascension. The balloon ascension advertised to take place here last Thursday afternoon could not be termed an astonishing success. While being inflated with hot air, on the old Planters' Hotel corner, the balloon took fire and was consumed in sight of the thousand people who had come to town to witness the ascension. Oliver Schumacher, who was inside the balloon, superintending the inflating process, was very severely burned about the face, head and hands and had a very narrow escape from serious injury. In running from under the canvas he collided with one of the posts from which the balloon was suspended and contrasted a severe abrasion in the face. He went home, where he was given medical treatment. He is getting along well. The burning of the balloon was purely accidental, and was caused by the flames communicating with the canvas from the fire trench during too great a draught. It is the fourth accident of this nature that Prof. Harris has sustained in seven years. The aeronaut party left for San Bernardino in the evening, promising to return in a few days with another balloon and give us an ascension. The town was filled with visitors from the surrounding country, fully a thousand people being in town. Prof. Harris lived in Anaheim some years ago, and when he comes this way again will be given a rousing reception. He goes up from 2,000 to 3,000 feet and jumps from the balloon in a parachute. An expressman is hired to go and find the balloon, which collapses and falls to the earth when lately was found insecure and had to be built. It is 700 feet in length, six feet in diameter and walled in with cement, making a fine piece of work. Twenty men have been employed on the work for four weeks and the structure will cost about $5,000. The water company is also cementing several hundred feet of ditch at the mouth of the tunnel and are otherwise improving their water facilities. The party made the trip through the tunnel and found the work had been substantially done. Since the work of repair on the ditch has been going on the Olive mill, which uses the water from the ditch as motive power, has been run by steam, and the cost for fuel alone has amounted to upwards of $900. Water power is a great saving to the company. At the completion of the tunnel, which will be in about ten days, a grand jollification will be had, and the Los Angeles Board of Trade, beside people from the entire countryside, will be invited to attend. Water will be ready to be turned into the tunnel, the mill will be ready to be set in operation, and the people will have an opportunity to witness the advancement made there by the enterprising managers. Progressive Enuchre. One of the most delightful gatherings that ever assembled in Anaheim was the progressive enuchre party given by Mr. and Mrs. Plez James and their charming daughter Miss Lulu at their palatial residence last Wednesday evening. The house was filled with guests, and the time was passed most enjoyably. Miss Marie Horatman and Fred Rimpan won the first prizes, Mrs. E.A.James and Ryan the progressive prizes and Miss Meta Tuffree and Prof.James the booby prizes. During the evening an elegant menu was served, and later the party dispersed. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs.P.James and Miss Lulu and Besiae James,Mr.,and Mrs.C.A.Bailey and Miss Cameron,Mr.,and Mrs.Jones.Mr.,and Mrs.W.K.James,Mr.,and Mrs.Melrose.Mr.,and Mrs.Shacker,Mr.,and Mrs.A.Rimpau,Mr.,and Mrs.Cahen,Mr.,and Mrs.Rust,Mr.,and Mrs.F.Rimpau,Mr.,and Mrs.E.BrowningProf.,and Mrs.James,Mrs.Scott,Mrs.Bates,Miss Marie Horatman,Miss Helen Bancroft,Miss Ida Everhardy,Miss Clara Mossmann,Misses Jessie and Hilda Witte,Misses Dora and Minnie Zeyn,Miss Lute Bailey,Miss Meta Tuffree,Miss Besiae Bates,Miss Elizabeth Kuchel;Mr.Ryan,Dr.Ballard,Mr.Patterson,G.V.Horr,Hugh Bancroft,j.Rimpan,G.Betts,F.Sohaumburger,G.Landell,H.Str道thoff,L.Bailey,V.BrowningMr.Highton and others. Surprise Party. The friends of Henrietta and Helena Gosch tendered them a surprise party on Monday evening. The young ladies were very much surprised indeed, and the party was one of the most enjoyable of the season. Games were played and a musical programme rendered as follows: Duet, piano and violin,"Il Trovatore,"Blanche Mitchell and HorrJames; song,"Marguerita"(in Danish),SelmaWeid; duet for zither,Helena Gosch和Marlina Pamper; recitation,"Death ofMcClain,"Fritzie Helmann; duet,guitar and zither,Carl and Marlina Pamper; duet for piano,Blauche and Willie Mitchell. Afterthe music they young folks enjoyed a social hop.Refreshments were served and later the party dispersed, all having had a most enjoyable time.Among those present were Mr. and Mrs.Gosch,Henrietta Gosch,Helaena Gosch,Adele Mossmann,Eula Parry,Eva Littlefield,Adele Mossemann,Eula Porry,Eva Littlefield,Adele Mossemann,Eula Porry,eva Littlefield,Adele Mossemann,Eula Porry,eva Littlefield,Adele Mossemann,Eula Porry,eva Littlefield,Adele Mossemann,Eula Porry,eva Littlefield,Adele Mossemann,Eula Porry,eva Littlefield,Adele Mossemann,Eula Porry,eva Littlefield,Adele Mossemann,Eula Porry,eva Littlefield,Adele Mossemann,Eula Porry,eva Littlefield,Adele Mossemann,Eula Porry,eva Littlefield,Adele Mossemann,Eula Porry,eva Littlefield,Adele Mossemann, Harry Penhall art of Westminster we Harry is the well-known friend hope that his brawn with roses Fred Smith,many Condensed Milk Face who pulled in in this attended the assembly Saturday evening.

An expressman is hired to go and find the balloon, which collapses and falls to the earth when the hot air in it becomes cooled. It usually falls within a quarter of a mile from the starting point. The burning of the balloon entails a loss of about $300. ANOTHER ASCENSION. Prof. Harris announces that he has secured another balloon and will positively give an asscension at the same place Saturday afternoon at 2. There will doubtless be a big turnout to give him a send-off after his ill luck of last Thursday. He will go up from two to three thousand feet, and make his celebrated parachute jump from that distance. Off for Mexico. Plez James and 'Adolph Rimpan left on Tuesday for a three weeks' trip into Mexico. They go on a visit to Alf. Pellegrin, who is prospecting mines in Sonora, between Nogales and Harmosillo. This is the first vacation Mr. James has taken since establishing the bank here, nine years ago. Except to go to Los Angeles for a day at a time, he has not been absent from his business during his residence here. He is entitled to a rest, as is also Mr. Rimpan, who has been giving close attention to his business for many years past. Mr. James has not been enjoying the beat of health lasily, being troubled somewhat with insomnia. The trip will without doubt prove of great benefit to him. It will take them a week to reach their destination, and fifty miles of the trip must be made in a stagecoach. We hope both gentlemen will take kindly to the diet of frijoles y tortillas at the mines, and that they may have a pleasant as well as a profitable trip and safe return. During Mr. James' absence the bank will be under the management of Cashier Horr, who will be assisted by E. J. Pellegrin. Miss Arthur's Assembly. The assembly given by Miss Jottie Arthur at the Del Campo Hotel last Saturday evening was one of the most enjoyable events of the season. Dancing continued until mid- The Red-Scale Parasite. Mr. Perry has received the following letter from Prof. Coquillett in reference to the newly imported red-scale parasite. We have not a particle of doubt that after this season's fumigation, those now parasites will be able to effectually do away with the scale. Prof. Coquillett's letter reads: Los Angeles, March 29, 1892. Mr. B. J. PERRY.-Dear Sir: You may be interested to learn that I have succeeded in colonizing the blue lady-bird received from the agent in Australia. A few days ago I found several of its larvae on an orange tree in the open air where I had placed some of the beetles on the 24th of January. One of the larvae was feeding upon a red scale. It acts very much like the larvae of the twice-sabbed ladybird, being rather sluggish in its movements. I am not yet prepared to say whether or not these larvae will be able to free our trees of the red scale. In the mean time I thought you might be interested to learn of their successful colonization among us. Very truly yours, D.W.COQUILLETT.

Dr. Lux of Los Angeles was in town yesterday on a business visit. Secretary Garwood and family visited Arch Beach during the week. J. Pattison of Los Angeles was in town on legal business on Tuesday. Miss Selma Weid of Los Angeles is visiting with friends in town, and is the guest of Blanche Mitchell. Mrs. Rust contemplates leaving shortly on an extended visit to relatives in the northern part of the State. I. V. Albertson, who has been painting at Pasadena for several weeks past, returned home last Friday. W. H. Bailey of Oakland came down last week on a visit to his brother C. A. Bailey of the Olinda ranch. Fred Dreses of Portland, Or., son of our townman B. Dreses, arrived in town yesterday afternoon on a visit to his parents. Our young friend Herr Saalwaechter was up to inspect the big 700-foot flume at Olive Sunday. He says it is a big thing. Col. Keith was over from Santa Ana last week. He reports business lively, and indications good for a rushing summer's trade. Miss Mai Polhemus, who has been attending the Normal School in Los Angeles for several months past, came down last week on a short visit to her parents. Frank Steadman went up to Los Angeles to see the ball games Saturday and Sunday. Frank is a schoolmate of J. Peck Sharp, Frisco's rattling secondbaseman. Colonel Messmore of Orange was in town on a business trip one day last week. The Colonel has many friends here who are always glad to see him. Messra. H. Rice and H. Allman of Pasadena were in attendance at the assembly at the Del Campo Saturday night, and furnished excellent music for the dancers. Harry Penhall and Miss Laura E. Culver of Westminster were married last week. Harry is the well-known ball player, and his friends hope that his path through life may be stewn with roses. Fred Smith, manager of the Buena Park Condensed Milk Factory, and Dick Murray, who pulled in the Park's tug-of-war team, attended the assembly at the Del Campo on Saturday evening. Supervisor Hawkins of Garden Grove came to town with the crowd last Thursday to witness the balloon ascension. He was disappointed, along with the rest of us. If he misses the tour, has alone Water Kleinigkeiten. -Balloon ascension Saturday afternoon. -Mr. James has put up a tennis court in the yard at his residence. -Attorney Melrose is moving his office into rooms in the Kroeger block. -H. J. Schulz is circulating a petition asking to be appointed nightwatchman. -The farmers of Garden Grove and Westminster are talking about starting a sugar factory on a "small scale." -The school children were to have gone on a picnic to the hills to the north of town yesterday, but the rain prevented. -Henry Boege gave Center street the finishing touches last week, and now the thoroughfare presents a fine appearance. -School is out this week. The teachers are in attendance upon the Teachers' Institute at Santa Ana. Studies will be resumed next Monday. -Ed Raine has a very fine crop of potatoes on the Olinda ranch almost ready to market. They are looking splendidly, and are almost ready to dig. -Wille & Albrecht have the new tank at the water works in position again, and it is now ready to be filled with water. It is hard to keep a good tank down. -The notice of election and municipal ticket to be voted for at the city election will be published on the second page this morning. -Material for the new City Hall is being placed on the ground, and Contractor Albrecht will begin work on the building as soon as possible. -The Captain and First and Second Lieutenants of Company A of Los Angeles have tendered their resignations to the Adjutant General, all on account of Colonel Russell. -The Ladies' Industrial Society of the Prepysterian Church will meet at the home of Mrs. Ey this afternoon at 2 o'clock.

The young ladies are making great preparations for the event, and it is said it will be an "out of sight" affair. -There is great excitement over the discovery, four miles from Lordsburg, in the foothills, of a rich vein of carbonate of silver stock for $85. The auction had been in progress since Monday, and the store had been pretty well cleaned out, yet Kreiss got a bake, if he can find any use for the goods he bought. A key of beer calvined the closing scenes of the sale, and everything went off merry as a married belle. >The Santa Ana Blade says Mr. Gilman sold his orange crop for $3,300. Go away from home to learn the news. Mr. Gilman received over $12,000 for his crops as stated in these columns at the time of the sale. >The Pawnee Indian Medicino Company are quartered at the Del Campo, where they seem to be making themselves very much at home. The ladies of the party do the cooking, and Mr. Burgess says they can put up as fine meals as ever he saw. Judging by the appearance of the party they must be living well. -Mike Crowley did not succeed in auctioning off his white horse last Saturday, as advertised. There were not enough people in town, and he didn't get a bid. Mike made a big mistake in not trying the auction day of the balloon ascension. He has given up the auction idea and will raffle off the horse, forty chances at a half chance. See him and take a chance. -Keno Wilson was in town on Tuesday, having just returned from San Quentin, where he went to arrest the thief Ureta as he stepped from the prison last Friday on the completion of his two years' sentence. Ureta will be taken to San Diego county, where he is wanted for horse stealing. As he was about to consider himself a free man at San Quentin last Friday, Wilson "nabbed" him and brought him south. -We acknowledge the receipt of a complimentary season pass to the Los Angeles ball grounds, from Manager Vanderbeek of the Los Angeles team. We shall be pleased to avail ourselves of it during the season. Los Angeles has a splendid team, probably the best ever together in the State, and they will undoubtedly win the pennant. They won twice from San Francisco last Saturday and Sunday, and are now engaged in playing a series with San Jose, last year's champions. >The baseball boys are endeavoring to arrange for a benefit game to be played here between the locals and the Los Angeles Tufte-Lyons), the proceeds to go to Charley Farrell, who was so unfortunate as to break his leg in a game here two weeks ago. Complete arrangements have not yet been made but the game will take place in near future—probably next Sunday or the Sunday after. The game will be largely attended and Farrell will be given a rousing benefit. Harry Penhall and Miss Laura E. Culver of Westminster were married last week. Harry is the well-known ball player, and his friends hope that his path through life may be strewn with roses. Fred Smith, manager of the Buena Park Condensed Milk Factory, and Dick Murray, who pulled in the Park's tug-of-war team, attended the assembly at the Del Campo on Saturday evening. Supervisor Hawkins of Garden Grove came to town with the crowd last Thursday to witness the balloon ascension. He was appointed, along with the rest of us. If he be in town Saturday afternoon he will see the ascension. S. S. Federman left for San Francisco on Monday to lay in his spring and summer stock. He will be gone a week or ten days and will purchase one of the best lines of dry goods, etc., ever brought to this county. Mr. Fowler returned from his trip to San Francisco on Saturday, and went down to San Diego Sunday morning. He informs us that his visit to the metropolis, made in half of the contemplated sugar factory, was eminently successful, and that he succeeded in interesting capital in the enterprise. A meeting of Directors will be held shortly, when the proposition will be further discussed. A. H. Denker was down from Los Angeles on Friday. He is an enthusiast sugar factory man, and says we have the finest country here on earth for sugar production. He is confident that Southern California will be the great sugar-producing center of the world in the time to come, and says the Cahuenga factory will be put up in time for next season's crop. Mr. Denker has large interests here and takes great interest in our projected co-operative factory. During his stay he was made an offer for some of his city lots here, which he now has under consideration. We had a very pleasant call on Monday from Mr. Bloekman of the Santa Fe railroad line. He is looking up the coming potate crop, and advises us that there will be big money in early potatoes the coming season. The railroad company is now sending out more oranges and vegetables direct to the East than ever before. One day last week thirty-five cars of oranges and vegetables were sent East on special trains, and shipments have kept up to the high-water mark during the season. Mr. Bloekman want down to Westminster to look at the potato crop, and found everything looking well. He is a rustler, and a good man for his company. Everybody Should Arrange. EDITOR GAZETTE: I wish to speak through your columns to the irrigators of the Anaheim Union Water Company. The season is far advanced, but little rain has fallen, and but little more can be expected at this season. There is at present an abundance of water in the river that can be utilized. Both upper and lower ditches have connections with the river, and while water is plenty and cheap every irrigator should use plenty—keep ahead of the drought so to speak and not let the drought get ahead of him. Alfalfa, trees of all kinds, and corn as soon as big enough to cultivate should be thoroughly soaked, for as water gets scarcer a less quantity will be allowed on each share of stock, and each month the price advances. If people only will use the water early in the season the fault finding and bickering so com- General, all on account of Colonel Russell. The Ladies' Industrial Society of the Presbyterian Church will meet at the home of Mrs. Ey this afternoon at 2 o'clock. All members and others interested are cordially invited to be present. Invitations will be out next week for the calico ball to be given by the Triple S Club. The young ladies are making great preparations for the event, and it is said it will be an "out of sight" affair. There is great excitement over the discovery, four miles from Lordburg, in the foothills, of a rich vein of carbonate of silver ore. It is reported that the lodge is eight feet wide, and it starts from the grass roots. A shoal of baseball cranks from this neighborhood took in the opening games of the California league at Los Angeles last Saturday and Sunday, and another delegation go up to-morrow to see the Indians do the Dukes. N. Hart has purchased from A. H. Denker the lot on Center street, corner of Hermaine, adjoining the nursery lot. This is a very desirable piece of property, and will probably soon have a handsome brick business block upon it. The Thacker Bros are sending out on an average ten cars of oranges per week. They have three packing-houses, one here, one at Tustin and the other at Orange, and are shipping the beat class of fruit that is now being sent to market. Anaheim is in the frostless orange belt. Our oranges bring the highest prices, and our advantages are rapidly becoming known to the newcomer and home seeker. Land is cheaper here than elsewhere, and a larger acreage is being sold than in any other section of the State. We are informed that a couple of our citizens are conducting a series of experiments in the extraction of ethereal oil from citrus fruits, and that their experiments have thus far been successful. Possibly a company will be formed and the industry undertaken on a large scale. Marshal Gade has been doing a rushing business in the dog line. The city pound was filled with illiterate canines last Saturday, many of which have since been dispatched to kingdom come. If you've lost your dog, ask Gade about it. Maybe it's in the pound, and maybe it's dead. James Ward was arrested on Monday on a charge of attempting to jump a week's board bill, amounting to $5.50, which he owed Mrs. Dunning at the Star and Crescent Restaurant. James was taken before Judge Pierce, who allowed him to pay up and go on his way rejoicing. A letter from Fred Miller, who is now a resident of Portland, Or., conveys the information that he is comfortably installed at the Arlington Club, where he is taking life easy. Fred writes to renew his subscription to the Gazette, and says he cannot get along without it. All right, Freak, you're on the list. We have received from Secretary B. M. Lelong of the State Board of Horticulture a pamphlet descriptive of the prune industry, containing a history of the industry, and its importance methods of cultivating the fruit varieties, picking, curing, packaging and production. It is a very inter- General, all on account of Colonel Russell. The Ladies' Industrial Society of the Presbyterian Church will meet at the home of Mrs. Ey this afternoon at 2 o'clock.

There is at present an abundance of water in the river that can be utilized. Both upper and lower ditches have connections with the river, and while water is plenty and cheap every irrigator should use plenty—keep ahead of the drought to speak and not let the drought get ahead of him. Alfalfa, trees of all kinds, and corn as soon as big enough to cultivate should be thoroughly soaked, for as water gets scarcer a less quantity will be allowed on each share of stock, and each month the price advances. If people only will use the water early in the season the fault finding and bickering so common at seasons of scarcity will not happen. Every effort will be made to keep a constant stream in the ditches. In a very short time three more of the rotten, leaky flumes will be replaced, two by carton fills and one by a steel flume on trustworthies, which will be a guarantee against a loss by breaking down in midsummer and also against the loss of one head of water by breakage. By a liberal use of the water we have we can raise large crops, and make this section of country a very prosperous one, even if it is a dry season. If you wish to be prosperous use plenty of water while you can get it. Yours, W. M. McFADDEN. In yesterday's baseball game in Los Angeles the San Jose team beat Los Angeles—7 to 6.
