THE WEEK'S LOCAL NEWS A Matter of Finances in the Irrigation District Directors Benchley and Stadtegger Appointed to Examine the Collector's Books—An Unexplained Balance of $264 61—The Collector Tells the Board Everything Is Straight—Water Board Meets Yesterday in Adjourned Session—John Hartung to Go Into Partnership With Herman Dickel—They Will Make a Great Team—Meeting to Organize a Board of Trade—Local Notes and Personals. When the irrigation board met in regular session on Tuesday it was found that only Mr. Korn, the President of the board, and Mr. Benchley, the new member from Fullerton who takes Mr. Porter's place, had filed their bonds. The two bonds had been filed with the Superior Court and had been approved by Judge Towner. Mr. Bather, who was elected in the Yorba precinct, receiving three votes to Mr. Stadtegger's two, failed to qualify, and the latter gentleman holds the office. The other Directors, Messrs. Carroll and Staley, as well as Assessor Nebelung, Treasurer Cahen and Collector Witte, also failed to go through the formality of filing a new bond, and each of them will hold over, the law providing that each officer of the district must remain in office until such time as his successor shall be elected and qualified. The district is slowly moving along toward disorganization, and it is thought that the business will be wound up in about three months. Mr. Korn was elected President of the new board, and the old rules of order were adopted. Max Nebelung was elected Secretary. The report of the committee appointed at the last meeting of the board to look over the books of the Collector reported as follows: Total assessment ... $5,884 78 Five per cent ... 91 62 Total ... $5,976 40 Paid by Collector to Treasurer ... $4,032 22 Taxes remaining unpaid ... 529 97 Due from Collector ... 1,384 21 Total ... $5,976 40 Of the tax levy of 1893-94, a balance of $60.55 was found to be remaining. All warrants issued since 1893 were examined and found to be correct. Adopted and filed. Treasurer Cahen reported as follows: it was no use; the snake struck at the tongs and they fell at his chin, where he kept them all to himself. Finally a noose was manufactured and in an unguarded moment the snake allowed his head in its coils. Corbitt tightened the noose while Foreman caught the poisoner by the tail and inserted him, rattles first, in one of Conrad's big beer bottles. Another bottle was then opened to disinfect the atmosphere of any poisonous germs the reptile might have scattered, and now stands empty for the next snake that wants to make a breeding cage of Foreman's new show case. THE WATER BOARD. ADJOURNED MEETING HELD YESTERDAY—TWO BIDS FOR CEMENT WORK ON THE UPPER DITCH—BOTH WERE REJECTED. There having been no quorum at the meeting of the water board on Saturday, the meeting adjourned to yesterday morning, when Directors Amerige, Botsford, Nebelung, Crowther, Spencer and McFadden were present. Engineer Lum reported that he had looked over the maps and profiles of the irrigation district to be sold on Saturday, and stated that some of them would be of service to the company, if they could be purchased cheaply. The President and Engineer were appointed a committee to attend the sale and make a bid for them. Nick Bittner was given further time in which to change the ditch running through his place. Messrs. Melrose and Theo. Rimpau were appointed a committee to interview the Yorbas in reference to getting right of way for a change in the upper ditch. Secretary Blennherhassett reported collections of $457 70 during February. Treasurer Goldwater reported $14,000 60 on hand. Superintendent Sheppard reported that the construction account during February amounted to $1,004 89; expense account, $234 76. Four fills had been put in on the upper ditch at Horseshoe Bend, and new cement gates had been put in, wider and deeper than the others, which could also be used as sluice gates. He recommended the cleaning of the ditch from the Tuffree reservoir to the head of the ditch, and recommended that the Benchley ditch be given two coats of cement. Filed. The Finance Committee reported bills allowed to the extent of $1,874 69. Mr. F. R. Holcomb wrote asking permission to relocate ten shares of stock. Granted, so far as the relocation may be made on lands owned by him. E. C. Sharpe's communication submitting proposition to put in a long distance telephone from town to the head of the ditch, for the sum of $985. Deferred. The City Clerk wrote saying the council requested the culvert at the corner of Palm MONEY IN ORANGE FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF THE SHEEP CROP—SWAMPED WITH COW One hundred carloads of oranges being Southern California every day Eastern market, and the price certain not fall below five hundred dollars per inch in the instance of fancy navels going seven hundred. Taking five hundred lars as the average, we have, for six shipping days, an income of $300 this one splendid crop alone, equa 200,000 per month, or five million for the season. The different assays are being swamped with orders. A side last week orders for twenty-looks of navels at a price advance that quoted by the exchange, had "turned down," for the reason that association had all the orders that could dled. At Placentia a few days ago for twelve carloads had to be "turned out" because notwithstanding the recent raise in fancy navels, Eastern brokers are advanced prices for fruit at such a rate that it is impossible to fill all these orange business is a noble business we are glad to learn of our orchard prosperity. The association plan of organizing is the one great secret of success, operation must henceforth be regarded as keystone in the arch of the horticists' prosperity. That the orchardists blind are a power was brought quickly to the notice of a dishonest Kaun broker some days ago by the Placentia corporation. He had been shipped a car navels, and on their arrival decline ceive the fruit, claiming they had been aged in transit, but offering to take a discount. The association's repressure was wired about the matter, and on gatton he found the oranges all right he sold them to another broker for ap art association rates. The first broker been caught in dishonest practices ordered on the blacklist, which means he could not purchase a box of oranges Southern California. Of course "squealed," and on promising to be future, has we understand been taken on probation. The associations are able in land, a power for good, and orchardists ought to become members. Some fifty-four carloads of oranges been shipped from this city over there Fe up to yesterday, and a number have shipped by E. B. Merritt over the South Pacific. new board, and the old rules of order were adopted. Max Nebelung was elected Secretary. The report of the committee appointed at the last meeting of the board to look over the books of the Collector reported as follows: Total assessment: $5,884 78 Five per cent: 91 62 Total: $5,976 40 Paid by Collector to Treasurer: $4,032 22 Taxes remaining unpaid: 529 97 Due from Collector: 1,384 21 Total: $5,976 40 Of the tax levy of 1893-94, a balance of $60.55 was found to be remaining.

Collector Witte said that when he made his final report on the delinquent tax-list, every cent would be accounted for. Mr. Korn reported that the Harris check for $6,000 which was last in the possession of ex-Treasurer Reiser, could not be found. It being no value, nothing is lost by the fact that it cannot be found.

The Secretary's salary was fixed at $10 per month, the Collector's at $50 for March, and $10 per month for each month thereafter at the pleasure of the board.

The last of the beet crop is all but in, and if the "Santa Ana" wind keeps quiet, Alamitos will have a creditable showing. The industry is new to the most of our farmers and very little would dishearten them. They seem to have lost all faith in the beet factory being built. If the present directorate fail to carry out their repeated promise, why in the interests of the community do they not make way for men who can secure the factory and who would have no selfish motives to serve?

The sporting element to the number of about 200 gathered in Kroeger's Hall Saturday evening to witness the Fogarty-Brady boxing contest. Each combatant on entering the ring was the recipient of applause. It was 10 o'clock before the contestants appeared, and the crowd began to grow impatient. The choosing of a referee occasioned a delay, Wm. Schumacher being finally selected for the task. On accepting the honor Schumacher delivered a short speech, admonishing the crowd to maintain silence, and announced that smoking would not be allowed. Prof. Lymburner, Billy Schumacher and Fred Goldthwaite attended Fogarty, and Billy Lewis, Tom Brown and "Piccanninn Dan" (colored) went behind Brady, who loomed up, as a hayseed remarked, as though upper ditch at Horseshoe Bend, and new cement gates had been put in wider and deeper than the others, which could also be used as sluice gates. He recommended the cleaning of the ditch from the Tuffree reservoir to the head of the ditch, and recommended that the Benchley ditch be given two coats of cement. Filed.

The matter of the wages of Zanjero Skinner on the upper ditch, which had recently been reduced from $50 to $40, was referred to the Superintendent, with power to act, he not to raise the same above $45. Messra, Melrose and Chapman & Hendricks, attorneys of record in the Yorba suit, were authorized to meet with the attorneys of the Yorbas and effect a perpetual settlement with them regarding division of water, on the basis of 200 inches given them last season. The Superintendent was instructed to put in additional cement gates in the ditch running through Dr. Bullard's land, north of town.

ALAMITOS NOTES. The last of the beet crop is all but in, and if the "Santa Ana" wind keeps quiet, Alamitos will have a creditable showing. The industry is new to the most of our farmers and very little would dishearten them. They seem to have lost all faith in the beet factory being built. If the present directorate fail to carry out their repeated promise, why in the interests of the community do they not make way for men who can secure the factory and who would have no selfish motives to serve? No section in Orange county has undergone the transformation of Alamitos. Two years ago all to greet the eye was a bare plain covered with salt grass and sheep. Now we have a dwelling house at least every quarter of a mile and a ranch planted to trees, alfalfa and beets. The new settlers, too, are of the right quality. Most of them have a dollar laid away for a rainy day, and many of them have church going propositions and take an interest in the education of their families. Quite an exciting scope was had with a rattlesnake in Foreman and Corbett's blacksmithing establishment, west of Anaheim, one day last week. The intruder coiled himself up in a corner of the new show case where the firm keeps its fancy horse-shoes for display purposes. I suppose his snake-ship had never seen artistic shoes before, and his curiosity got the better of his prudence, for consequent events proved that it was a very imprudent place to locate. A customer going to the show case to admire its fixtures was the first to behold the rattler and called attention to his presence. On being surrounded the snake at once stood on his dignity and then on his tail. From the position he made a dive at Corbett. Three times the snake was surrounded and three times he scattered his enemies. Corbett who had a spite at him threw a horseshoe at his head, but the snake docked and then bucked back among Foreman's feet. There were several persons present at the scene and all of them seemed to be seized with that queer disease, locomotor attaxi. None of them ever ventured to place his two feet on the ground at once. A buggy with two very pretty girls passed, or was in the act of passing, when seeing the excitement in the shop they pulled up to enquire the cause. "A rattler," was the reply; and that was enough. Out of the socket came the whip, round the horse it twisted itself, and away they went looking back for all they were worth. I have killed snakes many a time, and on one occasion shot a boa constrictor through the head, but this snake of Foreman and Corbett's was the most audacious and bloodthirsty reptile I had ever met. He kept himself constantly on the coil, while his eyes flashed fire and his ten rattles vowed red-hot vengeance on the community at large. At one stage of the proceedings a young gentleman present made a bet he could catch the snake alive and bottle him. The bet was taken up. Armed with a pair of long tongs the youth approached the varmint from the rear, while others attracted his attention in front. But day evening to witness the Fogarty-Brady boxing contest. Each combatant on entering the ring was the recipient of applause. It was 10 o'clock before the contestants appeared, and the crowd began to grow impatient. The choosing of a referee occasioned a delay, Wm. Schumacher being finally selected for the task. On accepting the honor Schumacher delivered a short speech, admonishing the crowd to maintain silence, and announced that smoking would not be allowed. Prof. Lymburner, Billy Schumacher and Fred Goldthwaite attended Fogarty, and Billy Lewis, Tom Brown and "Piscannin Dan" (colored) went behind Brady, who loomed up, as a hayseed remarked, as though he was "thrown into the ring with a pitch-fork." This was tough on Brady. Fogarty looked in the pink condition, lithe and willowy and as agile as a cat. Billy Hale held the ticker, and on announcing "Time" the men went at it. Sparring was the only feature in the first round and the men retired on the call of time. Each succeeding round was devoid of bloodshed and knockdowns were scarce as Wasser's pretzels after the Santa Ana boys leave town. At different stages of the encounter some vicious lunges were indulged in and had they landed properly there is no telling but they might have proved fatal. After each round as time was called the fighters would retire to their corners, and what with the incessant towel fanning and the numerous libations of Chicago tea, the treatment accorded the sparriers by their accommodating seconds was to be envied indeed. The twentieth and last round being called, the men were again cautioned by the referee to strictly observe the rules, and the winner would receive the spoils. The viciousness with which the fighters went at each other in this round, no doubt being imbued with a spirit of confidence in each of the pugilists' ability to "do" the other, made the uninitiated tremble with fear, but the blows went for naught and only fanned the air. At the conclusion of the round, honors being even, the crowd yelled "Fight it out," but the referee decided to call the fight a draw. "Fake!" responded a chorus of throats as the crowd filed out of the hall; but a large number were content to pronounce the contest a scientific boxing match. The gate receipts amounted to about $75.

MONEY IN ORANGES FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ESTIMATED AS THE AMOUNT OF THE SEASON'S CROP—SWAMPED WITH ORDERS. One hundred carloads of oranges are leavened Southern California every day for the eastern market, and the price certainly does fall below five hundred dollars per car—the instance of fancy navels going to about ten hundred. Taking five hundred dollars as the average, we have, for a week of shipping days, an income of $300,000 for one splendid crop alone, equal to $1,500,000 per month, or five million dollars the season. The different associations being swamped with orders. At Riverhead last week orders for twenty-five cars of navels at a price advanced above quoted by the exchange, had to be turned down," for the reason that the association had all the orders that could be handled. At Placentia a few days ago orders twelve carloads had to be "turned down," association being unable to fill the order superb fruit. At other points a simi-spirited demand for fruit is reported, and withstanding the recent raise in choice of fancy navels, Eastern brokers are wiringanced prices for fruit at such a rapid rate that it is impossible to fill all the orders. Orange business is a noble business, and are glad to learn of our orchardists' superiority. The association plan of markets is the one great secret of success, and co-operation must henceforth be regarded as keystone in the arch of the horticultural prosperity. That the orchardists come are a power was brought quite forcefully into the notice of a dishonest Kansas City merchant some days ago by the Placentia association. He had been shipped a carload of oranges, and on their arrival declined to receive the fruit, claiming they had been damaged in transit, but offering to take them at account. The association's representative wired about the matter, and on investigation he found the oranges all right, and sold them to another broker for spot cash payment rates. The first broker having caught in dishonest practices, he was arrested on the blacklist, which meant that would not purchase a box of oranges in northern California. Of course he sealed," and on promising to behave in good faith, has we understand been taken back probation. The associations are a power base, a power for good, and all the orchardists ought to become members. Some fifty-four carloads of oranges had shipped from this city over the Santa Fe to yesterday, and a number have been delivered by E. B. Merritt over the Southern Pacific. BUENA PARK ITEMS. A Yerkes drove down from Los Angeles today in the interest of the milk factory. Kleinigkeiten. C. Wagner has begun an action in the Superior Court against D. Jonathan Kraemer to quiet title to lands at Placentia. P. A. Schumacher has shipped three consignments of orange and other trees to Florida from his nursery at Fullerton.

A number of Los Angeles turners will visit Anaheim on the 31st instant and give an entertainment for the benefit of the local venein. The program will be interesting and a general good time is anticipated. A new school district has been formed west of town, to be known as Magnolia. The schoolhouse will probably be situated in the neighborhood of Tim Carroll's big well. Painter Nemetz was engaged yesterday in manufacturing four immense signs bearing the inscription, "Thacker Brothers," presumably to be used at those gentlemen's packing houses. Attention is directed to the advertisement of Boyd's grocery establishment, in the Metz building, where a complete and well-selected stock of groceries and provisions will be found always on hand. Miss Clara Mossemann has moved her millinery store to the apartments east of the Postoffice, where she is fitting up the establishment in artistic fashion. Her spring opening days will be about the first of April. A letter from the band of prospectors in Mexico, received on Saturday, brings the intelligence that the party is still at Quito Vaquita in good health and spirits, and that there is a possibility of their remaining away for a year. Mr. Weisel advertises two houses at the Landing, a saddle horse and lady's saddle, carriage and buggy, and household furniture for sale preparatory to leaving with his family for Germany, whither he leaves in a month or six-weeks. Mr. Nailer, a shoemaker residing at Eulotton, some days ago stepped upon a nail, which entered his foot dangerously, and he was yesterday reported to be at the point of death from lockjaw. As we go press news reaches us of the fortunate man's death. While stopping off the north-bound Santa Fe train Monday evening, after seeing some friends aboard, Mr. M. Sells of Westminster fell to the ground, sustaining severe injuries about the face and head. He was helped up by-standers and after having his injuries attained held "open house" to all his friends and acquaintances. After Hart's line-men went into Frantz & Cooper's, where eight incandescent lights will be put in. The lights would be ready to turn on in a week or so, but progress on the boiler house has been slow and it will be probably the first of April before the floods of illumination can be turned on. Gen. C. C. Allen, Adjutant General, was in town Tuesday paying off Company G's guardsmen who guarded property during the railroad strikes last summer. The amount of wealth the General left with the boys is about $130. He took his departure for Riverside yesterday, on his rounds paying off the militia for guard work performed during the strike. An informal meeting was held at the Commercial Hotel on Tuesday evening for the purpose of forming a Board of Trade. Mr. Rogers called the meeting to order, and Mr. Fowler was selected as presiding officer and Mr. Goldwater Secretary. A committee consisting of Messrs. Rogers, Cargill, Dickel, Cahen and Theo. Rimpman, was chosen on permanent organization. They will correspond with the different Chambers of Commerce in Southern California, to acquire data bearing upon the subject, and as soon as they are able to report, another meeting will be called, at which it is hoped a permanent organization will be effected. Mr. Fay informs us it was a pretty hard job to get up an orange display from this county at the Citrus Fair—not that we have not the best of fruit, but simply on account of the apathy of the orchardists. However, after a lot of work on the part of himself and daughter and a few others, a really creditable display of oranges has been made, and we hope there will be a large crowd up to see it on Saturday—Orange County day. Mr. Fay suggests that an appropriate feature of the day would be the presentation of a nice navel orange to each one of the visitors at the fair. This we commend it to the favorable consideration of our orchardists. At any rate we hope to see a large crowd at the fair on Saturday. While standing at the Santa Fe depot on Monday morning, Mr. Kieffer narrowly escaped a very serious and perhaps fatal accident. He was standing on the sidetrack watching the 9 o'clock express roll in, and meanwhile a freight train moved up the track back of him. The freight was running quite rapidly and the cars were but a few feet from him when friends called to him of his danger, and he jumped out of the way as the cars rolled over the place where he stood. One cannot be too careful at the station when trains are coming in. Herman Bonnerscheidt is beginning to think that a hodoo lurks over him when handling oranges, in which capacity he has been employed for several weeks past. One day last week while driving into Julius Schwabbergen is beginning to think that a hodoo lurks over him when handling oranges, in which capacity he has been employed for several weeks past.

BUENA PARK ITEMS Yerkes drove down from Los Angeles day in the interest of the milk factory, days this surpasses all other places in California for climate. So say we all of us, and also the best farming region. Some changes are being made on the Santa Clarita; the water tank is to be moved to Mirada. Rumor says that the station be placed on Mr. Emery's land. This somewhat inconvenience the traveler, it much further for them to make it much further for them to make a trip on the Santa Fe, but will increase on the Southern Pacific. T. J.

The Rev. T. Beazley, chose as an answer to question the words, "Into Thy hands my spirit, Thou hast redeemed me God of truth," Psalm 31.5. The descippship may be hard to define, is very real. It is subordination of the divine will. There is a time in life when the matter is decided, shall God rule? The decision stamps the letter. It is common to think and talk mysterious, perhaps indescribable sort experience is unavoidable. Just here is a good deal of unreasonable mysti- cality in unavoidable.

Fisher, the head lineman who is doing a first-class job placing the electric wires for the plant shortly to put in operation here, has just recovered from a for sale preparatory to leaving with his family for Germany, whither he leaves in a month or six-weeks. Mr. Nailer, a shoemaker residing at Fulletton, some days ago stepped upon a nail, which entered his foot dangerously, and he was yesterday reported to be at the point of death from lock jaw. As we go press news reaches us of the fortunate man's death. While stopping off the north-bound Santa Fe train Monday evening, after seeing some friends aboard, Mr. M. Sells of Westminster fell to the ground, sustaining severe injuries about the face and head. He was helped up by by-standers and after having his injuries attended to, went on his way home. The many friends of Jake Stern are glad to see him out again after his recent accident in which he sustained serious injuries. He is able to attend to his business duties again, and is in all respects as well and as handsome as ever. Some days ago a number of rabbits belonging to a lad living with his mother on Los Angeles street were devoured by the neighbor's dog, and the next day the canine was mysteriously poisoned. The day after, the boy's dog was mysteriously poisoned. This all shows the desirability of neighbors living in peace and harmony together. If you have a cluster of five or more nice oranges, take them to the water company's office, where the Secretary announces that he will give a dollar for the best lunch submitted to him. We expect to hear of him being overwhelmed with clusters sufficient to start a small sized citrus fair. Capt. Nerney formerly of San Diego, but now of San Francisco, was in town a day or two ago. The Captain was once upon a time commanding officer of San Diego's crack company of militia, succeeding the late Douglas Gunn, editor of the Union, in that capacity, but is now in the insurance business in San Francisco. Messrs. Ruhmann and Boege are said to look with favor upon the propriety of erecting a brick block on their Los Angeles street lot, and as the military boys are understood also to regard with favor the transfer of their armory thither, we may look for negotiations for the erection of the building shortly to be actively under way. This is the season of the year wherein the orange grower wears a broad smile as he exhibits a wad of bills larger than a link of winer warst; the result of his first dividend from his association's sales. Of the five million dollars flowing into Southern California for this season's crop, quite a sprinkling of wealth will find its way into this immediate section. Jack Fogarty who sparred with Young Brady at Kroeger's Hall Saturday evening, was at one time high enough in the fastic world to dispute the championship with Jack Dempsey. Fogarty informed us he could do nothing with Dempsey, but he is a clever middle-weight just the same, and is personally quite a sociable fellow. Mr. Charles Federman, the enterprising dry goods merchant, is receiving a large and complete stock of fall and winter goods which will shortly be opened for public inspection; Bargains in every line is his motto, and a cordial invitation is extended the public of Anaheim and vicinity to call and examine his stock and prices.

Herman Bonnerscheidt is beginning to think that a hodoo lurks over him when handling oranges, in which capacity he has been employed for several weeks past. One day last week while driving into Julius Schneider's yard for a load, he knocked down the clothes' line; then next trip he ran off the bridge, and when returning for a third load ran against a water gate and smashed it into smithereens. To cap the climax, while traversing along the road near the school-house last Friday with 45 boxes of oranges his team "stock" in the sand, and it was quite a job to get it out. Herman must be hodooed sure enough. At to-night's meeting of Company G it is understood that Capt. Halpin, having removed to Los Angeles, will tender his resignation as commander of the company. Mr Barr's name has been mentioned in connection with the office, and if chosen would no doubt make an excellent command officer. Capt Halpin has been in command of the company for two years or more, and his efforts on behalf of the organization, as well as his merits as a soldier, have brought the company up to a high state of efficiency. His removal to Los Angeles is regretted, but he is followed to his new home by best wishes of the entire company as well as the people of the city at large. Next Saturday occurs the sale of property owned by the irrigation district. The list includes everything owned by the district fromthe office furniture to deeds for lands sold for delinquent taxes,of which latter there are quite a number. Considerable money has been deposited withthe Clerk of district for redemption of lands sold for taxes,and this money has been taken as a bid onthe lands be offered for sale on Saturday. The statutes require thatthe lands be sold tothe highest bidder,andthe highest bidder can only be revealed atthe sale.All persons owning lands sold for taxes,and which district has purchasedat delinquent sale,show should be advisedand sale protect their interests,tothe end thatthey may have their titles clear.The sale begins at 10 o'clock.

the enterprising dry goods merchant, is receiving a large and complete stock of fall and winter goods which will shortly be opened for public inspection: Bargains in every line is his motto, and a cordial invitation is extended the public of Anaheim and vicinity to call and examine his stock and prices. His new advertisement will appear next week. R. L. Fisher, the head lineman who is doing a first-class job placing the electric wires for the plant shortly to be put in operation here, has just recovered from a "setto" with an obnoxious boll, which greatly interfered with his labors while he was perched upon the high masts adjusting wires. As a consequence he is now able to move about more gracefully. The efficacy of advertising: Two weeks ago Mr. G. D. Carleton sent down an ad from Los Angeles announcing that he had some 20,000 orange and other trees for sale, and here is a portal from him telling us to take out the ad., as all the trees are sold. Mr. Carleton has made a quick sale, and there can be no doubt that the purchasers of the trees will be entirely satisfied with their quality. This evening occurs the anniversary entertainment of Company G, and an interesting program has been arranged for the large crowd that is certain to assemble at the armory in response to the invitations issued. Gen. Campbell of Los Angeles has been invited to give a short address, and has selected "The Heroic Spirit" as his subject, and will give a forty-minute talk. After that will come the muster, and the exercises will conclude with a social hop. We have received a copy of the new Los Angeles evening daily, the Record, a newsy four-page periodical, of machine composition, typographically neat and well gotten up. It must be a good paper to keep up with the Express, and the other Los Angeles dailies, the Times and Herald. The Angel town is well supplied with newspapers, the weekly field being run to death. But success to the Record, anyhow; we exchange with it with pleasure. Mr. Beebe has been down to the candy kitchen during the week, after being at his home in bed with a bad attack of typhoid fever since along in December. His first experience after convalescence was to have burglaries enter his place of business, early one evening last week, and ransack the place in search of coin. Finding none in the money drawer, which had been pried open, they went for the sugar barrel, and a quantity of sugar, as well as some of the finer candy, was stolen. The thieves left no clew as to their identity sufficient to warrant their arrest. Yesterday the first are light was placed in Hart's restaurant, and the generous voting. Col. Schreiber declared Kennedy elected. The next day, in looking over the ballots, the Colonel became convinced that a mistake had been made, and the vote should have been 7 for Halpin and 6 for Kennedy. In doubt as to what his duty is under the circumstances, he has asked his superior officers for instruction. Another election may be ordered. The election of Lieutenant-Colonel was not attended by a contest, Lieut.-Col. J. L. Howland of Pomona being re-elected unanimously. Arrangements are being perfected whereby John Hartung will become a member of H. A. Dickel's grocery establishment, and all indications point to the fact that the new firm will at once take a leading position among the solid business houses of Southern California. This is the oldest house in this neighborhood, and its success has been in every way commensurate with its years of usefulness in the community. Neither gentleman requires any extended introduction at our hands, Mr. Dickel having by strict attention to duty and square dealing during the many years of his residence here built up a trade that is second to none in the county. This could not be achieved, of course, unless his stock of goods was of the superb character which it has all along been known to be. His name is a synonym for square dealing, and his eminent success for years past has been such as to warmly commend his methods as a successful and prosperous merchant. Mr. Hartung has lived here for some five and twenty years, and by industry and frugality has amassed a competency. He will bring many friends to the house, and in future as in the past their needs will be supplied with the best goods the market affords and at prices as low as the lowest, and with that devotion to their interests that has all along characterized the house. He will acquire the interest of Mr. Langenberger, who after a long and prosperous career as one of our leading merchants, will retire to private life. Long life and success to the new firm of Dickel & Hartung!

Dr. McMurray has returned from his trip to Perris and Elsinore, where he went to treat a number of sick horses. The springs at the latter place he pronounces among the finest he ever saw. Judge Brusssean was down from Los Angeles on Tuesday to attend the meeting of the irrigation board. The Judge thinks it will be three months yet before the affairs of the district can be brought to a close. Mr. R. Melrose returned from his trip to Bolmont, Nev., on Monday, after a rough trip of two weeks through the snow. He reports the country the roughest it was ever his experience to travel through. Assemblyman McKelvey has our thanks for a copy of the Assembly reports. An investigation of its contents reveals the fact that at a recent session of the committee of the whole, Mr. McKelvey acted as presiding officer. Mr. August Wangenheim and Miss Adele Hendelson were married at the home of the bride's parents at Capistrano on Sunday.

Boland writes from the Convent of Mercy, at Morris, Minnesota, asking for information relative to the death of Timothy, which she desires for the sisters of deceased. A copy of this paper containing the announcement of his death has been sent her. Mrs. Frank Everett of Chehalis, Wash., is expected here on a visit to her brother, Heran Fesonfeld, who has been sojourning in this city for some weeks past. She has been visiting with relatives and friends at Riverdale, and was expected to arrive yesterday. Mr. Bradford was in from Placentia Saturday. He informs us the cabbage crop, of which there will be seventy-five cars, is being shipped to market. His section will have this season in the neighborhood of 200 cars of oranges, seventy-five of cabbage, and big nut and deciduous fruit crop, most of through Eastern freight. Next year the output will be increased probably fifty per cent, and the growers look for one of the railways to put a road through the section to tap this business. Probably before the year out Placentia will have its railway. Assistant Special Agent P. W. Ross of the Santa Fe and Dr. Morrison, the company's garage, were in town one day last week looking into the cause and the nature of the incident sustained by Mr. Moote at the spot some days ago, in which his knee was crushed by the cars while in the act of attempting to climb between them. The gentleman had rather a narrow escape from a shocking death, and while quite badly hurt, will probably soon be able to be out again. He does not think of bringing an action for damages against the company. Mr. J. N. Bill was in from Garden Grove yesterday and made a pleasant call at this office. Mr. Bill is a leader among the farmers, and speaks for practically the bulk of them when he tells us that everything concerned with the Pacific Beet Company must be absolutely square and purged of allaint of fraud or wrong-doing. The farmers are the bone and sinew of the corporation, and they should see to it that the Directors' hands have been deeded into the corporation on a similar footing to their own. Let there be one law for everybody, and let all stockholders be similarly affected by it. The farmers ought to begin an investigation, and Mr. Bill is just the man to lead them. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Hoy were over from their ranch at Villa Park on Monday on a visit to the Thackers. Mr. Hoy always hunts up when he comes to town, and we show him the sights. He will have 9,000 boxes of oranges this year, having one of the largestorchards in Southern California, and will get a very comfortable amount in their sale. After the season, he and Mrs. Hoy go East on a trip, and may be tempted to go across the other side for some months sojourn. Mr. Hoy is always a welcome visitor to the sanctum, being a very clever fellow, who always pays his subscription in advance, and whose pockets are always filled with the best Havanas.
