The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. Henry Kuchel, Charles Kuchel, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY...SEPTEMBER 21, 1893 In another column will be found the advertisement of the First National Bank of Los Angeles, which stands among the foremost financial institutions of Southern California. Its capital stock has been increased to $400,000, and the surplus amounts to $250,000. During the recent flurry the First National thoroughly demonstrated its strength in the large amount of coin paid out over its counters, reducing its deposits as it did over thirty per cent, and then within twenty-five days thereafter in collecting funds to equal fifty per cent of its remaining deposits. It is questionable if any bank in the State could have done as much from its own resources. The bank was never in better condition than it is today, and it enjoys the utmost confidence of the general public. The doubling of its capital stock gives additional strength to the institution, and there is further solidity in the additional number of stockholders, composing at present as they do some 175 well-known citizens of Los Angeles and vicinity, representing millions of dollars. Mr. Elliott, the President of the institution, is a financier of long and extensive experience, is widely known in financial circles and stands high as one of the leading bankers of the Coast, enjoying as he does the full confidence of the bank's many stockholders and depositors. George B. Skaffer, the assistant cashier, is too well known to our readers to need much of an introduction at our hands. He is an old Anaheim boy, and no little success of the First National is due to his efficient services in the bank. It is the intention of the officers of the bank to make it the greatest and strongest financial institution in the southern part of the State, and to that end they solicit a share of the banking business of the people of this city. In the absence of any banking institution here, our people will find the First National a reliable institution to deal with. The Directors of the Orange County Fair chief speaker was Mr. H. T. Oxnard of Nebraska, President of the American Bee Sugar Association. He said Congress had no moral right to repeal the sugar bounty clause of the McKinley law. T. R. Cutler of Utah, E. P. Fowler and H. C. Heot of California also spoke against the repeal of the bounty provisions, and John Dymend of Louisiana strongly protested against the repeal of the sugar bounty law. WATER COMPANY. MR. JAMES' RESIGNATION AS TREASURER RECEIVED AND ACTION DEFERRED—MONEY MATTERS. The Board of Directors of the Anheim Water Company met in regular session on Saturday. Present, McFadden, Kellogg, Tuffree and Zeyn; absent, Amerigo Botsford and Rust. Mr. McFadden reported that the committee appointed to investigate the condition of the ditch at Mrs. Simpson's place had visited the place and decided to repair the ditches, and that the said repairs had already bean made. Superintendent Groat reported that he had investigated the use of feed on the Rivas tract, and that Mr. Yorba said he would pay $50 for the rent of the tract next year, and $25 for the remainder of this year. Other parties had offered $175 for the rent of the Cota tract. He was instructed to get $100 for the rental of the Rivas tract and $200 for the Cota tract. The Superintendent reported that he had not received the tools to be returned by Mr. Sheppard. He was instructed to get the tools together and make out a bill for the use of the same. Secretary Garwood reported as to various money matters of the company. Two thousand six hundred dollars had been borrowed from Mr. Hildobrandt, from which $1,500 had been paid F. Ey. Other amounts were borrowed from different parties, among them $500 from Mr. Zeyn and $500 from Richard Krebs, and Mrs. Strodthoff had been paid the balance due on her note. The Superintendent was instructed to collect $10 from Sing Lee for taking water from the company's ditches or have him arrested for middling with the gates. Treasurer James reported $2,059 41 in his hands in favor of the company. Mr. James tendered his resignation, which was laid on the table until the next regular meeting. The Auditing Committee were instructed to verify the books of the Treasurer. Isaac Lyons presented a check signed by the Secretary of the company, which had not been paid at the bank. Action deferred until next meeting. CITY TRUSTEES. The Board of Trustees meet session Saturday evening to discuss laid over from Tuesday. The Recorder's supplement to the Treasurer's monthly report balance of $341 61 on hand, referred to the Finance Comptroller. The following new ordinance induced by the Ordinance and laid over to the next regina passage: Ordinance No. 922 driving of sheep or cattle thru 93 fixing the amount of boners; No. 94 concerning office meanor; No. 95 licensing by the city. A protest was read from in the block in Metz tractor on where R.

The Directors of the Orange County Fair Association have prepared an exceptionally interesting programme, and we desire to impress upon our citizens the propriety of our making an exhibit along with the other sections of the county. Anaheim can make as fine a display as any section of the county, and no time should be lost in preparing for the exhibit. The Fair will be visited by thousands of visitors, and it should be a business proposition with us not to let them take their leave without being shown what can be raised in this, undoubtedly the richest section of the county. Much attention is being centered upon our section at present on account of the very flattering outlook for our sugar beets, and visitors from abroad will naturally look for a display from Anaheim. Let us get together and show them what we can do. A letter from the secretary of the association brings the information that the directors wish it distinctly understood that no fee will be charged for any exhibits at the hall. All articles entered in those departments, in accordance with the premium list, may compete for premiums tree of charge. It is especially unfortunate that the bank should be closed at this time, as within the week upwards of $11,000 arrived here from Chino to pay for boots. There being no bank to deposit with here, the money was taken to Santa Ana and deposited in the vaults of the Commercial Bank. This money should of course have been deposited here, but it goes across the river to be disbursed from the county seat. On the first of next month there will be another consignment of gold from China, and the total amount to be paid the best farmers this season will not be far from $40,000. We should have a bank here to get some of this money, and our influential men of means should beatir themselves to that end. If the best farmers are compelled to go to Santa Ana to get their money, they will necessarily do a good deal of their trading there, which ought to be done at home. The stores in town should cash beet checks, and we should all treat the beet men with the most respectful consideration. Because they are the people, and we are glad of it. A couple of weeks ago we printed an item to the effect that one Miss E. L. Hoffman had beaten the Santa Fe railroad out of a round trip fare to Los Angeles and back, and that she had "worked" Conductor ORANGETHORPE. Although it is a long time since Orange-thorpe has spoken of her happenings and doings through your columns, we would not have your readers think for a moment that we are in a comatose state, or in anywhere appalled by the wail of hard times that is heard all over the land. Many of us are doubtless inconvenienced by the bank failure, but when we see barns and granaries being enlarged on all sides, and then filled to their utmost capacities; orchards of every variety hanging heavily with their fruits; fields of giant pumpkins in sizes beyond the recollection of the oldest inhabitant; cornfields swaying with the golden staff of life; cows with distended udders in every pasture, and hogs burdened with their lazy fatness, we surely have little to complain of as to temporal blessings. Even the hone in every barnyard cackle in happy consciousness of having discharged their whole duty each day, and the proud old gobblers strut around as if cognizant of the rich foats they are to make in November. Our climate is resorted to by invalids, who always acknowledge a spoedy relief, and we predict that when the world's best sanitarium is known it will be found in Southern California in general and Orangethorpe in particular. The beautiful home of Mr. Skinner on the avenue and the pretty cottages of Messas, Nelgin and Wills, late of Los Angeles, bespeak our attractiveness, and the comfortable home of Mr. Thompson shows what can be accomplished by industry and frugality on good land, in one short year. Our young women are sought in marriage both by Jow and Gentile, and none who marry seem disposed to seek "pasture new," which is always proof of the superiority of a country and home. And then—the young men—well, we don't know, but rumor says they are all engaged! The principal feature of our district, however, and which most particularly concerns us at present, is the school, which opened two weeks ago with a full and large attendance under the skillful management of Miss Simpkins, an experienced teacher from the East. Some of the children have been a little migratory the last few years, but we see them all back again in their accustomed seats, fully verifying the old adage, "there is no place like home." The proverbial "bad boy" is no where to be found, and each and every one of the happy boys and girls seem delighted with their new teacher and eager to do her bidding. We are convinced that by the end of the term, with Miss Simpkins at the desk, no better district school asking for an allowance of fifty dollars for office rent, and the same table. County Surveyor Finley mays progress in the matter owing to some discussion ed to pay a visit to the river other personal inspection of which the improvements are The meeting adjourned until when the board will make sure company with the County Schoe.

Hoffman had beaten the Santa Fe railroad out of a round trip fare to Los Angeles and back, and that she had "worked" Conductor Heartt for the trip to Los Angeles. In justice to that gentleman, whom we thus unwittingly accused of violating one of the cardinal rules of the railroad about carrying deadbeat passengers, we desire to say that the item, so far as his train was concerned, was incorrect. We have known Mr. Heartt since his coming amongst us, and a more carculous railroad official in the protection of the company's interests, as well as accommodating gentleman in every way, we have seldom if ever had the pleasure of running across. We printed the item with some misgivings as to Conductor Heartt, because we felt satisfied that if he ever found any one on his train attempting to beat him for a ride, he'd make him pangle up pretty quickly or get off the cars. As to whether Miss Hoffman worked the company for a free ride to Los Angeles and back, we printed the item as a current piece of gossip, and if it isn't true—why it isn't true, that's all. Even if it isn't the worst thing she ever did. Mr. Wickham informs us that he will shortly sever his connection with the Santa Ana Herald, and will devote his talents in future to the handling of the big profits that are the natural increment to a thorough knowledge of the real estate business—which he possesses. We pre-verify to lose bim from the ranks, but we hope that his coffers may be filled to overflowing in his new field of business. The new editor of the Herald will probably be our own Brigadier-General Pierce of the sugar factory. The beet sugar manufacturers were well represented before the Committee on Ways and Means at Washington on Tuesday. The principal feature of our district, however, and which most particularly concerns us at present, is the school, which opened two weeks ago with a full and large attendance under the skillful management of Miss Simpkins, an experienced teacher from the East. Some of the children have been a little migratory the last few years, but we see them all back again in their accustomed seats, fully verifying the old adage, "there is no place like home." The proverbial "bad boy" is no where to be found, and each and every one of the happy boys and girls seem delighted with their new teacher and eager to do her bidding. We are convinced that by the end of the term, with Miss Simpkins at the desk, no better district school can be found anywhere than our own. O.S. YORBA: Mrs. D. O. Yorba and family have returned from an extended summer outing at Newport. Mrs. J. Berlin is visiting at Burbank, the guest of her daughter, Mrs. A. C. Gale. Miss Sallie Rowan is spending a few days visiting at Orange. Jake Berlin made a flying trip to the Angelic City last Sunday. The funeral of Mrs. Botier, who died at Rincon on the 12th instant, took place here on Friday last. She leaves a husband and six children to mourn her untimely demise. Miss Hazel Wood and Miss Louise Berlin accompanied by J. Berlin, Jr., took in the sights at Newport on Admission Day—and were likewise taken in. The Riverside train was three quarters of an hour late Sunday evening, and some people got awfully cold while waiting for its arrival. We have been looking forward to something romantic, nor has it been in vain, for "Over the hills not far away" A zephyr comes, and seems to say: "Two hearts that now beat as twain." Will soon be joined by wedlock's chain." Shot: Los Angeles Herald. The ANAMEH GAZETTE is liable to find itself in trouble. Recently it printed a sensational item about Miss E. L. Hoffman which was baseless. Miss Hoffman has demanded a retraction, which should be recorded her, as the alleged authorities for the item, two Santa Fe conductors, deny its accuracy in any point.

The Board of Trustees met in adjourned session Saturday evening to transact business laid over from Tuesday's meeting. The Recorder's supplementary report and the Treasurer's monthly report, showing a balance of $341 65 on hand, was read and referred to the Finance Committee. The following new ordinances were introduced by the Ordinance Committee, read and laid over to the next regular meeting for passage: Ordinance No. 92, concerning the driving of sheep or cattle through town; No. 93, fixing the amount of bonds of city officers; No. 94, concerning offenses and misdemeanor; No. 95, licensing business, etc., in the city. A protest was read from property-owners in the block in Netz tract on Center street, where R. Spoer had applied for permission to remove a frame and iron structure. Mr. Spoer handed in a communication in which he withdrew his former application and informed the board that he would erect a fireproof building on the premises. Both papers were filed. Bills to the amount of $337 82 were audited and ordered paid. Adjourned. THE SUPERVISORS. The Board of Supervisors met in regular session Monday morning, with all members except Supervisor Yoch present. A communication from the Santa Ana Board of Education, asking for a special tax of $4,500 to be set apart for the current expenses of the present school year, was read and ordered filed. A communication from F. M. Smith, asking to be reinstated as janitor of the county offices, was read and laid on the table. S. H. Finley presented a communication asking for an allowance of $6 per month for office rent, and the same was laid on the table. County Surveyor Finley made a report of progress in the matter of river improvement. After some discussion it was decided to pay a visit to the river and make another personal inspection of the line along which the improvements are to be made. The meeting adjourned until this morning, when the board will make such inspection in company with the County Surveyor. TECHIC. Miss M. Schlueter of San Francisco is in the city, and will be pleased to introShakespeare's Anachronisms. Virgil made Eneas land at a port which had no existence until a couple of hundred years before the poet's own time, and in three separate places revives characters killed earlier in the poem. The anachronisms of Shakespeare are legion. In the "Winter's Tale" he speaks of the const of Bohemia, an inland country, and in "Coriolanus" calls Delphi an island, whereas it is a city of Greece. The "beetling cliffs of Elsinore" are mentioned, but Elsinore has no cliffs, while although the Danes were, in Hamlet's time, pagans, the Ghost in "Hamlet" speaks of absorption and purgatory. In "Twelfth Night," the Clown in Illyria speaks of St. Bennet's church in London. In "Julius Caesar" Brutus tolls Cassius, Peace, count the clock, and Cassius answers, "The clock has stricken 8," when striking clocks were not invented for 1,400 years after that time. Hamlet is said to be educated at a school which, in his time, had no existence, and Menonius, in "Coriolanus," mentions Galen over 600 years before the latter was born. In the play of Henry IV turkays are spoken of 100 years before the discovery of America, whence they came; Hector is made to quote Aristotle; Cleopatra's palace is fitted out with a billiard table, and Tunis and Naples are spoken of as though at an immeasurable distance from each other.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The Importance of Light. An important fact in connection with photography lies in the illumination. There are good days and bad days—days when the sun shines so brightly that the shadows are distinct and outlines are sharp and perfect. To obtain a negative under the best conditions the exposure should be made when the sun's rays have attained an angle of about 85 degrees on an object situated about 20 feet from the operator, who should have the sun behind his back. The general tone of the light should be blue; a yellow, hazy atmosphere will never give a satisfactory negative. No matter how perfect a machine may be, good results cannot be obtained if the operator is not careful to observe the needs of the moment. The camera may be pointed too high or too low, directly in the sun's path, or the hand may press the button at the wrong moment, or with a tremor that will cause the shutter to slide unevenly.-Outing. NEW ADVERTISING. California A Pioneer's Experience With Hood's Sarsaparilla. "I am a pioneer in this county, having been here 20 years. Four years ago my little son Ellery became blood poisoned by impure virus in vaccination. His arm swelled terribly causing great agony; physicists said the arm must be amputated, and even then his recovery would be doubtful. One day I read about a blood purifier, new to me, and was surprised to learn that it was prepared by C.I. Hood; with whom I used to go to school in Chelsea, Vt. I decided to have my boy try Hood's Sarsaparilla, and was much gratified when it seemed to help him. He continued to grow better as we gave him the Sarsaparilla, and having used 8 bottles is now entirely cured. As Hood's Sarsaparilla has accomplished such wonderful results, I recommend it all possibly can." Jerome M. Sleepen, Upper Lake, Lake Co., Cal. The City Treasurer Of Lowell, Mass., says: "The above is from my brother, whose signature I recognized. I am also glad to testify to the excellence of Hood's Sarsaparilla, and to say that C.I. Hood & Co are considered one of the most reliable firms in New England." Van B. Sleepen, City Treasurer, Lowell, Mass. Hood's Sarsaparilla Sold by druggists. It six for $5. Prepared only by C.I.

The attention of the farmers of Orange county is called by the Orange Post to the evil weeds and noxious grasses that are getting a foothold in various parts of the county. At the hearing for the Newport drainage ditch it was claimed the falling off in productivity of that fertile region is largely due to devil grass, Bermuda grass and wild morning glory vines. Most people are more or less familiar with the difficulty of eradicating these joint grasses that propagate and spread from runners; but they do say the wild morning glory vine is the most persistent of all the troublesome weeds. It seems to root deep and sprout up with renewed vigor after being cut off; and it is confined to no particular locality or kind of soil. Patches of it may be seen on the upland as well as the lowland, and it seems to flourish even in the hard road. A little attention to these posts on the start would save an infinite amount of labor afterward. An effigy of Grover Cleveland was found hanging to a tree at Sacramento Monday morning by one of the State Capitol policemen. On his breast was pinned a Latin inscription, of which the following is a translation: "Greeting to my pig-tailed friends from the Orient. I am that American Grover whom thou didst suborn. See how blessed is the fate of traitors." On the placard were other inscriptions as follows: "A public office is a public trust, but should not be a Wall street trust." "Dictator Grover I, successor to Charles I. Where is our Cromwell?" "Must we doff our hats to imperialism!" "Nero fiddled while Rome burned, but Grover would dance at the funeral of American liberty." "God give us men; lo, Freedom weeps; wrong rules the land; waiting Justice sleeps." Krug, the alleged defaulting City Treasurer of Seattle, was arrested at the Union Depot in St. Louis Monday evening, just as he was about to take the cast-bound train for Chicago. The arrest was effected by Frank Crawford of Seattle. Krug was taken to the Merchants' Hotel for the night. The Mayor of Seattle was telegraphed, and wired Crawford to hold the prisoner at all hazards. Krug, when arrested, had $92 on his person. After fleeing Seattle, he went to Winnipeg, where he spent three days and then went to St. Paul. Deserving Praise.

We do not hesitate to guarantee them every time, and we stand ready to refund the purchase price if satisfactory results do not follow their use. These remedies have won their great popularity purely on their merits. W. M. Higgins, drugist. W. H. Bradbury, a merchant of Los Angeles, who went to Chicago to see the Fair, met a woman known to the police as May Wheeler at the corner of State and Van Buren streets one evening last week. He had a diamond scarf in his necktie worth $500. When the woman left he discovered that he had lost his pin. He followed her, but could not overtake her. He then reported his loss to Capt. Hartnett, who happened to be in the vicinity, and the woman was caught at State and Harrison streets. The diamond was not recovered, however, and it is thought she handed it to some friend. At 5 o'clock Tuesday morning the English yacht Valkyrie, which is coming over to race for the America's cup, was out twenty-seven days, since which time not a word has been received as to her whereabouts. The Valkyrie's experience in this respect is remarkable, for it is rarely that so prominent a vessel escapes being sighted at sea. The impression among yachtsmen is that she is all right, and while they attach considerable significance to the fact that the well-known yacht has not once been seen, they are not prepared to predict that any harm has befallen her.

On an occasion when Cardinal Newman was dining at a friend's house, a noble lord among the guests, wishing to draw him out with respect to the upshot of political contests in the Roman states, said, "Things are sadly disturbed just now in Italy, Dr. Newman." Starring into space in an apparently vacant manner, he replied, "Yes, and in China." No one present said a word more on the subject—San Francisco Argonaut. When the Rocks and Stones Were Fizzing. When M. de Saussure, the eminent Swiss naturalist, was upon one of the high mountains of Mexico he found himself in the very midst of a thundercloud. Every ridge of rock and all the angles of the loose stones were fizzing, and the Indians who had accompanied him ran screaming and howling down the mountain, their long hair standing erect upon their heads. Youth's Companion. Clergymen on Their Travels. A philosophic observer professes to have noted a touch of selfishness in clergymen when travelling and that, too, without regard to denomination. He finds explanation for this in the fact that clergymen like women are accustomed to be treated with special consideration and so acquire the habit of exacting courtesies usually yielded as a mark of respect to the cloth.—New York Sun.
