The collapse of the Bank of Anaheim is probably the most severe blow ever sustained by the citizens of this community. With the recent resumption of business, after the temporary suspension encountered in common with the other suspensions throughout the country, it was hoped that the bank might be placed upon its feet again and that its financial standing might be adjusted to the satisfaction of the depositors and the community generally. Since the reopening, business men have gone on depositing as before, and when the announcement was made on Saturday that the bank had gone into voluntary liquidation, it was like a thunder-olap out of a clear sky. People were dumbfounded at the realization of their losses, and for a time considerable temperate talk was indulged in, but for the good name of the community be it said, the depositors have deported themselves with becoming descrum, and are satisfied to await the results of the efforts of the bank officials to straighten out what appears, in the present unsettled condition of the money market, to be considerable of a local financial disaster. A statement of the bank's condition has not as yet been issued, but we are assured it will be given to the depositors in a day or two, when those interested will probably appoint a committee of their number to examine and verify the same, and report upon the best measures to adopt under the existing circumstances. The cause of the bank's liquidation is set forth at length in the circular issued to depositors, and printed in our local column this morning. In a word, it is due principally to the fact that the bank is overloaded with real estate, some of the negotiations dating back to the palmy days of the boom. The amount of real estate held by the bank is reckoned at $40,000, and much of this cannot be realized upon advantageously at present. There is money in the arrangement, and next Saturday is the day selected as the time to set the ball rolling in the work of the emancipation of the growers and the confusion of the patentees. We hope to see every public-spirited orange grower on this side of the river present at this meeting. Let them rally and stand by the Tustin man! At the meeting of orange growers Monday afternoon there were so few present that it was decided to postpone the election of a Board of Directors and the meeting adjourned to next Monday afternoon, the 18th, at 4 o'clock, in the City Hall, when it is urged that all growers in this vicinity who signed the articles of incorporation, and all others who are in favor of forming the Orange Growers' Association, will be present to select a Board of Directors. This will be the last effort of the committee in the matter. For the good of the growers of this vicinity it is to be hoped that the meeting will be largely attended, and that the orchardists of this community will range themselves alongside of the progressive growers of Southern California. SUPERVISOR BOARD THE MATTER OF STRAIGHTENING THE RIVER CONSIDERED—THE COURT-HOUSE SITE ACCEPTED—TAX LEVY The Board of Supervisors met on Monday and considered the matter of straightening the Santa Ana river and protecting the banks of the same. J. B. Raino appeared before the board and said that the proposed cut in the river at his place in the Swamp would damage his land by dividing it, and as he had already lost $40,000 by the encroachment of the river, he thought he should be compensated for any further damage that might result to him. The question of compensation was discussed by the board, but no action was taken, and County Surveyor Finley read the following report: "To the Honorable Board of Supervisors — Gentlemen: In accordance with your instructions of Sept. 5th I herewith furnish an approximate estimate of the cost of work necessary to be done along the Santa Ana river in order to prevent destructive overflows." The cause of the bank's liquidation is set forth at length in the circular issued to depositors, and printed in our local column this morning. In a word, it is due principally to the fact that the bank is overloaded with real estate, some of the negotiations dating back to the palmy days of the boom. The amount of real estate held by the bank is reckoned at $40,000, and much of this cannot be realized upon advantageously at present. There is money in the Krasmer ranch in Alameda county, and also in the Nevada ranch, and some in the mines in Sonora. That these may be realized upon and the bank in time be able to pay its depositors in full, we have no disposition to doubt, and we trust the management of bank's affairs will be such as to result in the greatest good to the greatest number. The amount of deposits is in the neighborhood of $80,000, and Mr. Mabury's personal liability on his subscription is over $40,000, and he is reckoned one of the wealthiest men in the southern part of the State. No definite conclusion can be arrived at as to where the depositor stand, of course, until the statement is issued, but there are reasonable grounds for believing that with patience on the part of those interested and the abstention from throwing the bank into the hands of a receiver, with all the attendant costs and fees and loss of time which that course entails, the depositors will come out all right in the end. It is a very curious thing to speak of the Bank of Anaheim, which we have all come to regard as financially solid as a rock, in the light of a tottering institution forced into liquidation, with angry depositors on every hand. It has been a money making institution from the start, its net earnings during the past ten years being probably $40,000. But the end has come at last, and what with money tied up in real estate, and bad investments here and there, it is forced to go out of business and make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors. Mr. Bartlett, who is now in charge of the bank, winding up its affairs, is recommended as an experienced banker, and will no doubt use his best endeavors to bring order out of the chaos which now surrounds this old-time and once highly respected institution. That another bank will be established here admits of no doubt, but it is yet too early to speak authoritatively upon that point. The orange growers of the county are up in arms against our old friends Wall, Jones and Bishop, the Tustin twilight syndicate, who have a pet scheme to cinch the growers for fumigation to the extent of five, ten or twenty cents per tree, according as the victim is willing to pungle up. A meeting is called to assemble at Spurgeon's hall at Santa Ana Saturday next to take such action in the premises as may seem meet and propar under the circumstances. This patent twilight infamy has been dead for a couple of years, To the Honorable Board of Supervisors—Gentlemen: In accordance with your instructions of Sept. 5th I herewith furnish an approximate estimate of the cost of work necessary to be done along the Santa Ana river in order to prevent destructive overflows. "On the map of the surveyed section will be found sketches of the character of the work proposed to be done in accordance with ideas expressed by your board, and which, I believe, will result in securing the result desired. "I find that the cost of such work for the section of the river of which a survey has been made, including the necessary plowing and cleaning of the channel, will be $1,250 per mile. The cost of such work for one-half mile north of the Fifth-street bridge, will probably be proportionately the same, and the absolutely necessary work from the end of the present survey to the Newport messa, doubtless much less. Without a careful survey of the remainder of the route, I would estimate the cost of the work from a point one-half mile north of the Fifth-street bridge to the Newport messa, a distance of four and one-half miles, at $4,800. To this add $1,200 for additional work to protect especially exposed places, and it gives a total of $6,000. "The levy proposed by Mr. Hawkins will cost $1,900 per mile, one side, or $3,800 per mile for both sides. "The section of the river west and northwest of Orange requires the expenditure of $2,000 to hold it in check for the coming season... Three thousand dollars could be advantageously spent at this point. "In company with H. C. Kellogg, I visited the exposed point northwest of Olive, and after careful inspection we find it will be necessary to rebuild about 2,000 feet of the levee at present there, and increase the height of the remaining 2,000 feet. In addition to this it will be advisable to put in two heavy wings above the main lovee, aggregating in length 1,800 feet, in order to throw current of the water away from the present lovee, and more nearly under the center of the bridge. This work will cost $3,640. It will be necessary to protect the bank on the east side opposite the lovee, necessitating an additional expenditure to raise the total to $4,000. "The aggregate cost of the above contemplated work is $12,000. In order to be prepared for additional work that may be found necessary along the whole course of the river, I am of the opinion that an expenditure of not less than $15,000 should be provided for." The report was accepted and filed. The Surveyor was instructed to do the necessary surveying at the different points on the river where the improvements are contemplated, at a cost not exceed $500. The board appropriated $15,000 to straighten the river's bank and strengthen the same. The action will meet with the cordial support of the people. Fifteen hundred dollars was transferred from the General Fund to the Hospital Fund, and $2,650 from the Current Expense Fund to the Courthouse and Jail Fund. The time having arrived for completing the purchase of a county courthouse site, and the District Attorney appearing and stating that the abstract of title was good, and that the city of Santa Ana had vacated Seventh street, the following resolution was as he had already lost $40,000 by encreachment of the river; he thought he should be compensated for any further damage that might result to him. The question of compensation was discussed by the board, but no action was taken, and County Surveyor Fulley ledthe following report: "To the Honorable Board of Supervisors—Gentlemen: In accordance with your instructions of Sept. 5th I herewith furnish an approximate estimate of the cost of work necessary to be done along the Santa Ana river in order to prevent destructive overflows.

This patent twilight infamy has been dead for a couple of years, but lately the patentees have been moving about among the timid growers and cinching them to the extent of their occult power. They have begun suit against a Tustin grower who refuses to pay, and the growers of the county purpose standing by him and employing eminent counsel to fight the case. The circular calling the meeting reads: A convention of orange growers, opposing the payment of all claims under the Wall, Bishop & Jones starlight fumigation patent, is hereby called at Spurgeon's Hall in Santa Ana at 1 o'clock P.M., on Saturday, September 16, 1893, for the purpose of perfecting organization and making full preparation for asserting and maintaining our rights to funigate with hydro-cyanic-acid gas whenever and wherever we please, without contributing one penny to the oppressors backed by letters patent, resting upon claims the most absurd and unjust. Let every orange grower ready for fight come out whether or not he has already signed the "Roll of Union" for the defense. Suit has been commenced in the United States Circuit Court against one of our number for $700 and we must stand by him. Now is the time to rally and show our strength and our colors. W. B. HERVEY, JOEL B. PAHKER, F. D. COLLINS, Union Trustees for Orange county. Santa Ana, Cal., Sept. 6, 1893. Let every orange grower this side of the river attend the meeting and contribute by his presence and to the extent of his means to defeat this outrageous scheme to rob the people. If these patentees succeed in establishing their case, their royalty next year will be, not five or ten or twenty cents per tree, but perhaps one dollar per tree, and that will sound the knell of orange growing in Southern California. The erhardists can and must defeat this patent twilight surveyor was instructed to do the necessary surveying at the different points on the river where the improvements are contemplated, at a cost not to exceed $500. The board appropriated $15,000 to straighten the river's bank and strengthen the same. The action will meet with the cordial support of the people. Fifteen hundred dollars was transferred from the General Fund to the Hospital Fund, and $2,650 from the Current Expense Fund to the Courthouse and Jail Fund. The time having arrived for completing the purchase of a county courthouse site, and the District Attorney appearing and stating that the abstract of title was good, and that the city of Santa Ana had vacated Seventh street, the following resolution was passed: "Resolved, That in pursuance of the notice heretofore given this board now purchases of William H. Spurgeon, for a county courthouse site, block 21, city of Santa Ana, and block B. Spurgeon's addition to said city, and the portion of Seventh street between said blocks for the sum of $8,000, $4,000 cash and $4,000 on or before December 15, 1893, with interest at the rate of 8 per cent per annum, and that the deed executed by said Spurgeon and wife for said land to Orange county and now presented to this board be accepted, and that the Auditor of said county is hereby directed to issue to said Spurgeon two warrants for $4,000 each upon the courthouse and jail fund in the county treasury, in payment of the said land; also issue a warrant to said Spurgeon for $25 in payment of the difference in the interest agreed to be paid on said deferred payment provided by law to be paid on unpaid warrants." The clerk was then instructed to have the deed recorded. The petition of L. A. Mendelson for appointment of Justice of the Peace at San Juan was denied. Chairman Yoch was given a leave of absence for sixty days.

Shipments of beets to the refinery at Chino continue at the rate of about 120 tons daily from this point and Buena Park. Over 3,000 tons have been shipped thus far this season, and the crop is about half shipped. Mr. Marks goes to Chino today to settle with the Oxnards for the first month's shipments of beets. The amount his receipts call for is in the neighborhood of $15,000. This amount will probably be deposited in Los Angeles, and the beet farmers will be given checks on that city in payment for their beets.

"For 15 years my mother has been troubled with milk leg." She went to different parts of California, as persons said the climate might help her, but it was of no avail, and I being a druggist thought I would get her to try Hood's Sarsaparilla Before she had taken half a bottle she said she was improving so she continued until she took half a dozen bottles, and now she is perfectly well For nearly fifteen years she was unable to walk around, but now she can walk as well as over."

Wholesale and retail dealers in Smyrna figs in New York have forwarded a petition to Washington protesting against a communication by United States Consul Ernes of Smyrna to Surgeon General Wyman at Washington. The dealers declare it is abdicated to prohibit the importation of tigs from Smyrna, because it is a fact that there are large consignments on the way which have been contracted for by Western firms. These shipments were made prior to the cholera scare. It was said that a strong protest has been sent from California to the Treasury Department at Washington against the importation of all kinds of dried fruit from foreign countries, in order to prevent the introduction of cholera into the country. A Baby's Foot in a Seashell. G. W. Fox of Redwood City, Cal., has in his possession one of the most remarkable curiosities ever found on the Pacific coast—nothing more or less than an abalone shell in the interior of which, firmly incased in the pearly shell secretion, there is a baby's shoe and stocking. The shape is perfect in every particular, but the size indicates that the owner of these pedal coverings was a very young child. The sole of the shoe and the toe, badly worn and red from long continued water soaking, can be plainly seen when the secretion has not entirely enveloped it. The stocking is not visible, however. Threads of the wool can be drawn from the pearly incasement by using a crochet hook or even a bent pin. The buttons are covered with abalone, looking like pendant pearls set in a row down the side of this odd shaped shell. The little tassel can still be plainly seen, as can also the hole where one of the buttons has been pulled out. There is but one tenable solution that can be given in explanation of this seashell mystery. The body of a drowned infant was being carried along by the tide when the foot passed into the open abalone shell, which of course instantly closed like a vice. Then the imprisoned foot was held until severed from the body by decay. In the meantime the shellfish was busily encumbered in covering the shoe stockings and BRAND NEW Regardless With the intention of starting in my stock of goods.

The reservation of the name of alcohol for the product of the distillation of wine is modern. Till the end of the eighteenth century the word, of Arabic origin, signified any principle attenuated by extreme pulverization or by sublimation. It was applied, for example, to the powder of sulphurot of antimony (koheul), which was used for blackening the eyes, and to various other substances, as well as to spirits of wine. No author has been found of the thirteenth century, or even of the fourteenth century and later, who applied the word alcohol to the product of the distillation of wine.—P. E. M. Berthelot in Popular Science Monthly. Calf's Foot Jelly For the Sick. We have witnessed many changes of opinion respecting some of the commonest articles of diet for the sick. The old view that calf's foot jelly was of exceeding nutritive value was at one time so controverted that the jelly ceased to be much used. It is now sanctioned as having a place in dietetics, and I believe it may be safely regarded as a temporary form of nourishment of no inconsiderable value.—Popular Science Monthly.
