LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK. The Factory Spur to Be Built from This City. Enough Contributions in Sight to Warrant the Assertion that the Road Will be Built From This Point—Surveyors Return from Norwalk, and are Now in the Field Setting the Grade Stakes, and Surveying Sidings at Garden Grove and Westminster—More Railroad Material Arrives, and the Goose Hangs at a Respectable Altitude From Terra Firma—Other Items—What a Democratic Orator said at Saturday Evening’s Meeting—Local Brevities. As we write, on Wednesday morning, the subscription lists for contributions for the purchase of the right of way for the railroad spur from this city to the Alamitos sugar factory have not been returned; but enough is known to warrant the statement that sufficient has or will be collected to guarantee the building of the spur from this point. Yesterday morning the amount ofscriptions was known to be in the neighborhood of $1500, and if the outside subscription papers are returned in plethoric condition as friends of the community hope, the amount will go probably to the $2000 mark, and possibly above that figure. The Citizens’ Bank started the ball in town last Thursday morning by heading the first subscription list with a donation of $100. Herman Dickel immediately subscribed $100, L. F. Lewis said he would give $50 and it necessary $100; and inside of an hour, $500 was subscribed. Mr. Dickel took the list around and submitted it to those of our solid citizens with whom he came in contact, and yesterday morning had $700 on his list, with several fat-walled gentlemen to hear from. Herman has his eye on a number of them whom he has not yet been able to interview, but he hopes to turn in his list with over $1000 upon it to-day. Those desiring to attach their names to his list may find it at his store. Another list may be found at Helmsen’s book store, and those who drop in there and want to see the town go ahead may affix their signatures to the list. This list ought to be good for $250 in small subscriptions. our Magnolia breeze, and decided that I would not take an orange grove of twenty acres in exchange for it. An error in taste and judgment surely; but then life is so short and the struggle for a living such a bot perplexing task, that a fellow may as well be fanned through it while it lasts. An effort is being made to have the political situation ventilated in Magnolia school at an early date. I am not in a position to give the names of speakers on the Republican side, but the editor of the Standard is booked for the free silver side of the issue, and Dan will be all himself on his first debut in classic Magnolia. As far as I know an effort will be made to persuade Messrs. Melrose and Chynoweth of Anaheim to enlighten us on the other aspects of the question. The Southern Pacific engineers are now busy surveying the railroad route leading past Clair postoffice. We are all unanimous that this is by far the best route both for the railroad company and the convenience of the best growers. A siding and best dump and a flag station will be built within two hundred yards of the postoffice. Next year will see the terminus of the road at Long Beach, and this will bring us in touch with Los Angeles, the very thing we want. Baled barley hay is selling at $6 a ton in Magnolia. We would rather see it worth $8, but it's a bad wind that blows nobody good. W. R. Ball, during the week, has added to his genealogical tree another son and heir. A STRANGE STORY. A LEITER FROM MISSOURI INQUIRING ABOUT FRED M. WERNER, WHO DIED AT THE STOCKTON ASYLUM IN 1892. The following letter, written in German, which came to hand a day or two ago, asking for information regarding a gentleman whose death occurred nearly four years ago, shows that the world is wide, and that truth is at times as strange, at least, as fiction: PRAIRIE HOME, Mo., Aug. 27, 1896. H. and C. Kuchel, Proprietors GAZETTE, Anaheim, Cal.—Gentlemen: I have recently heard that my father, Fred. M. Werner, who went to Anaheim in 1891, has now left there, and that while in Anaheim met with a misfortune. As I find your address in a Los Angeles directory, I take the liberty of writing to you, asking you to kindly inform me what happened to him and where he is now, and you will confer a great favor. In the expectation that you will grant this favor, I thank you. C. W. WERNER, Prairie Home, Cooper Co., Mo. Inquiry at the home of Henry Hildebrandt on Los Angeles street yesterday O say, did you hear from Vermont charming Billy? Jockey Hahn has put up a new sign at his stables. The Christian church will be dedicated on Sunday, October 4th. The ladies of the Christian church give a chicken pie dinner on election day. The Misses Stanton have opened dress-making establishment in the pres next to Spoerl's. The trees in the school lot have irrigated, preparatory to the beginning school next Monday. Frank Buther of Yorba was in town few days ago with some of the finest girls we have seen this year. Three primary elections on Saturday Republican, Democratic and Populist. We going to be candidates for delegates? Emma C. Mefford has been granted divorce from her husband, Angus P. Mefford. The parties were formerly of Westminster. There will be a meeting of the Silver league at the clubs rooms in the Block, formerly the irrigation office (Thursday) evening, at 8 o'clock. The clothing and shoe store of Federman & Co. will be closed on Tuesday next, the occasion being the 5657th anniversary of the Hebrew new year. Bentz Bros. have concluded to down to a cash basis, and will in future fer no deviation from that rule. To try to bust, and to bust is dreadful. Attorney Chynoweth has brought attachment suit against Alfred Goldthwaite and Ellen Goldthwaite to recover $550 blocks Band,C in the Del Campo tract. A carload of railroad spikes and brass and a second car containing additional switch material, have arrived at the Southern Pacific depot, and are now being loaded. The microscopical examination of tissues of the late Dr. Garner by Prof. P. Has developed the fact that the doctor dianthrax, resulting from work among diseased cattle. Joseph Backs went to Santa Ana today to conduct the funeral of Brown, who formerly lived east of town on the Barr place, and who died in Los Angeles on Tuesday. Herman Dickel immediately subscribed $100, L. F. Lewis said he would give $50 and it necessary $100; and inside of an hour, $500 was subscribed. Mr. Dickel took the list around and submitted it to those of our solid citizens with whom he came in contact, and yesterday morning had $700 on his list, with several fat-wallets gentlemen to hear from. Herman has his eye on a number of them whom he has not yet been able to interview, but he hopes to turn in his list over $1000 upon it to-day. Those desiring to attach their names to his list may find it at his store. Another list may be found at Helmsen's book store, and those who drop in there and want to see the town go ahead may affix their signatures to the list. This list ought to be good for $250 in small subscriptions. Jake Ross is circulating a subscription list at Westminster, E. L. Kellogg has one out among the beet raisers, as has Mr. Breesel also, and another list is being circulated at Garden Grove. The best of our information is that as soon as the factory spur is completed, the force of graders will be transferred to the line running up Santa Ana street into town and on to Placentia, as well as running south on Olive Street to effect a junction with the road at a point south of the semiphore. The railroad officials have recently sent for certified copies of the franchise granting them the right to construct their road through town, and the report is current in well-informed circles that the railroad will make one job of it, and as soon as completing the factory branch, the graders will be transferred to this end and complete the Placentia branch forthwith. The right of way for the factory spur has been all secured, with the exception of five property-owners on the way, and through these lands an easement will be procured by condemnation proceedings. Papers in condemnation proceedings arrived here from San Francisco on Monday, and a copy of them was taken out by Messal. Dickel and Carroll, who cannot be given too much credit for their earnest work in procuring the right of way, and submitted to the gentlemen objecting to executing an easement for the road, and notification made that unless the matter could be amicably arranged by arbitration, it would be referred back for condemnation proceedings. The railroad surveyors, under charge of Mr. Winningstad, who is Engineer Boschke's chief deputy, were ordered here from Norwalk on Monday morning, and have since been in the field laying out the cross sections, setting the grade stakes, putting in siding at Garden Grove and Westminster, and laying out the factory sidings. Young Mr. Huntington is back with Mr. Winningstad's party and is in the field with the other surveyors. A carload of bolts and spikes arrived at the depot a day or two ago and was yesterday unloaded. Another large lot of additional switch material also arrived and was unloaded on Monday. The surveyors will have probably ten days' work in the field, at the end of which time the force of graders may be expected and work on the spur pushed rapidly to completion. The people of this city cannot be too highly commended in their liberality, in the moment of the seeming withdrawal of the road. On account of the stringency of the money market, and the cautious tightening of strings to money bags on the part of banks, many of our leading citizens declared it was an abject impossibility to raise $2,500 to purchase this right of way. But there is nothing like trying, even in the face of what appear to be insuperable difficulties. "Never" is an impossibility, so we are told, and that we are to-day to have this road is only due to the fact that a number of our leading citizens have put their shoulders to the wheel and exerted almost superhuman efforts to gather sufficient subscriptions to insure the building of the road. Sufficient has not yet been secured, and those who have not yet contributed are expected to be actuated by sufficient patriotic liberality to step forward and do what they can to help the cause. Last week everything looked dark and truth is at times as strange, at least, as fiction: PRAIRIE HOME, Mo., Aug. 27, 1896. H. and C. Knobel, Proprietors GAZETTE, Anaheim, Cal.-Gentlemen: I have recently heard that my father, Fred. M. Werner, who went to Anaheim in 1891, has now left there, and that while in Anaheim met with a misfortune. As I find your address in a Los Angeles directory, I take the liberty of writing to you, asking you to kindly inform me what happened to him and where he is now, and you will confer a great favor. In the expectation that you will grant this favor, I thank you, C. W. WERNER, Prairie Home, Cooper Co., Mo. Inquiry at the home of Henry Hildebrandt on Los Angeles street yesterday afternoon, where Mrs. Werner was found in the person of Mrs. Hildebrandt, having married that gentleman some time after the death of her former husband in November, 1892, developed the following facts: Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Werner came to Anaheim in 1891, and resided in town for four weeks, removing to Placentia, where Mrs. Werner purchased a ranch. His eccentricities soon excited the remark of the neighbors and shortly thereafter he became violently insane, was examined and committed to the lunatic asylum at Stockton. Here he died Nov. 10, 1892. The name of the writer of the letter quoted above is said by Mrs. Hildebrandt to be Carl Wilhelm Seipt, whom Mr. Werner acquired a liking for, and took into his family, never, however, adopting him. The boy lived with the family, Mr. and Mrs. Werner having no other children, at Prairie Home, Mo., for a number of years, and he finally came West with them and settled in the State of Washington. Here a disagreement occurred between Mr. Werner and the young man over the latter's extravagance, so Mrs. Hildebrandt says, and the youth left for Portland. Since that time Mrs. Heldbrandt has never heard from him. Seipt lived with them six years at Prairie Home, and for some time in Washington where Mr. Werner conducted a butcher shop. Mr. Werner died, as we say, at the Stockton insane asylum, of this State, Nov. 10, 1892, and since that time Mrs. Werner has become the wife of Mr. Hildebrandt, and is living happily with that gentleman at his home on Los Angeles street. FROM BEETS TO SUGAR. SEVENTY-FIVE HUNDRED TONS SHIPPED TO THE FACTORY AT CHINO. The shipments of beets to Chino from Anaheim and the Park so far this season aggregated up to last evening, about 7,500 tons. A good average is maintained, although some green beets have been brought in. AVERAGE DAILY TESTS. Sugar. Purity.

Price in wage ready for mailing, 5 cents a copy. —The telegraph brings news of death at Modesto of Mr.D.Plato; forms for many years a highly respected resident of this city; Mr.Plato was one of the morants of Anaheim; and died at his modesto full of years and honors. —John Lowe, the West Anaheim Smith, has folded his tent and silently sailed away; John is said to be located at Gtransnow now; although his residence is at Ana John did not make his fortune did you John? —The employees in the yards of the Port Wharf and Lumber Company at Ana have been served with a notice their wages will be reduced 25 per cent on the Ist.

But there is nothing like trying, even in the face of what appear to be insuperable difficulties. "Never" is an impossibility, so we are told, and that we are to-day have this road is only due to the fact that a number of our leading citizens have put their shoulders to the wheel and exerted almost superhuman efforts to gather sufficient subscriptions to insure the building of the road. Sufficient has not yet been secured, and those who have not yet contributed are expected to be actuated by sufficient patriotic liberality to step forward and do what they can to help the cause. Last week everything looked dark and gloomy. Persistent rumors floated about that Santa Ana was secretly working for the road, and one could hear these rumors even so recently as a day or two ago. But Santa Ana isn't in it. We are the people, and we are going to have the road. And we are going to have a boom. The benefit to accrue to this city by the building of this road to Garden Grove and Westminster, bringing those rich and populous suburban sections into closer commercial relationship with us, cannot be over-estimated. Already we note the presence of many of the residents of these sections upon our streets, and we hope to see them with us often again. Let the eagle screech, and the sound of the locomotive reverberate again in the hills! We are the people, and Anaheim is going to have a boom! MAGNOLIA NOTES. What would Magnolia be, and what would Magnolians do without the ocean breeze? I often wonder why we don't appreciate and talk of it more than we do. About 10 o'clock every morning, just as the sun is getting warm, a cool breath from the sea comes over the plains; it's the forerunner of a steady breeze laden with ozone fresh and pure from the blue Pacific. The chief characteristic of the breeze, apart from its fresh invigorating, is its monotony. It rarely ever varies either in velocity or volume, just a gentle all-day breeze, strong enough to flutter the ringlets of a girl, but never rude enough to upset her hat. Gentleness is one of the striking characteristics on the Pacific slope. Did you ever notice the different edgings of the two oceans, the Atlantic and Pacific, one rock bound, rough and rugged, fortified against the shocks of the rough Atlantic; the edging of the other is trellis and lace work wrought in shells and the whitest of sand, and in keeping with the scenes over which it sails the ocean breeze fans Magnolia from 10 o'clock till evening with such a soft unobtrusive gentleness that we forget all about its presence. But that's just like us; we never appreciate what we have, especially if we have it in an unobtrusive form. Traveling through a neighboring locality on one of the hot days of last week, I remarked to a friend, "What would the natives not give if the proprieties did not stand in the way of the cool costume of our progenitors in Eden." How nicely one could get on with a fig leaf arrangement in Riverside!

The usually quiet surface of Buena Park has been ruffled by a love affair in two well-known families. The would-be lover is shown that his advances are rebuffed by an irate parent, and when persistent to see his fair one is almost stunned by blows from a muscular fistNothing daunted the Romeo returns the salute, and papa is seconded by mamma with a sled in hand which she vigorously applies till love grows faint and cries enough! And reaching his wheel makes a timely escape; love laughs at bolts and bars; there is an elopement; and in a distant city the two hearts which beat as one find dreams of future bliss which are now being realized. Rev.Mr.Lamb of Massachusetts occupied the pulpit of the Congregational church Sunday last. George Whitaker has returned from his outing at Catalina. Cypress festivities were participated in by a goodly number of our young people on last Saturday evening. Bob Wallace has suspended his butcher business for a limited time. We regret the physical disability of the genial and accommodating clerk of the Smith & Thowson meat market, and hope soon to see Mr.Turner in his place again fully restored to health.The market still holds its reputation for first-class meats. Owing to Chino beets being ready for the factory,the shippers are limited to sixty tons per day. —We invaded the vineyard of Johnman on a foraging expedition the otherand found some of the most luscious grapeswe have seen in years.John had a night caller recently who drove himself,so it is estimated,towofive hundred pounds of grapes He has beenpelled to employ a watchman at nightkeep the crop from being carriedand is beginning to wonder what kindneighbors he really has.A double-bassshotgun is the correct remedy. —A very pleasing sight may be seenon Mr.Neff's place southwest of town,thethat gentleman pumps water from himfor irrigation.He uses a centrifugaland raises a stream of 100 inches that getsout into the ditches in a manner therowful to see.The abundantsupply has worked a transformationin that neighborhood andthe p growth made by the trees on the placeworth of a bountiful supply of waterirrigation.Mr.Neff has irrigated upof 100 acres during his eleven-day runyear,and has enough water to irriethousand acres if necessary.The weraised through a seven-inch pipe andconstant pumping day after dayseenincrease rather than diminishthe waelthe well.Walnuts,apricots,pearprunes and in fact all the deciduousare grown,b besides a number of varietiesberries and flowers.Trees set outspring look like two-year-olds,whisparicots planted two years agohaveappearance of trees twice that age.Neff is thinking of sinking anothernear the present one,and will theninmore territory. —W.W.Write at his homePhiladelphia street on Saturdayafterin the fiftthe year of his age.Hewad hereinAnnaheim since 1886 and was heldesteem by those who knew him.Tocased was a native of Warren countywas born Dec.Oc,1845,and was awardeby his physician tocSouthern California,and had since berehere.Mr.Wite married againaftering here,and his wife and a growndaughter survive him.

The ladies of the Christian church will chicken pie dinner on election day. The Misses Stanton have opened their making establishment in the premises Spoorl's. The trees in the school lot have been used, preparatory to the beginning of next Monday. Bank Buther of Yorba was in town a years ago with some of the finest grapes we seen this year. Three primary elections on Saturday— American, Democratic and Populist. Who's to be candidates for delegates? Emma C. Mefford has been granted a from her husband, Angus P. Mefford.

Each refused. Neither was present at the meeting. After the meeting four Democrats left the hall and announced that they would vote the Republican ticket. —Santa Ana has been disturbed over reports that milk from cows afflicted with anthrax was being peddled about that city, and each dairyman has been required to get a certificate from a veterinary surgeon certifying that his cows are free from the disease. The question of beef from these herds also arises and demands attention. Is beef from infected herds being sold in the Santa Ana markets? The Health Officer cannot be too careful in keeping infected meat from consumers. —Fred Mickle has at his residence on West Center street a very pretty flowering vine that bears a blossom called the snail flower. In its undeveloped state it resembles the formation of a small perfectly, and when fully grown turns into the shape of a sweet pea, and is of a delicate lavender tint. Its scent is like that of the taberose in sweetness and penetration, and it is altogether a most lovely garden ornament. The vine has been trailed about the front porch, and the scent of the flowers fill the residence with sweet perfume. —The Orange County Union Veterans Association will hold its annual meeting at the Rochester hotel, in the city of Orange, Wednesday, Sept. 9th, 1896, commencing at 10 o'clock a.m. The Orange G. A. R. Post and Corps have charge of the arrangements and program for the occasion. All veteran soldiers and sailors, with their families, are invited, whether members of the association or not.

The people of Orange will furnish the coffee and spread the table for the occasion. —Mr. Bressel, one of the well-to-do best raisers living west of town, was in at Dickel's establishment on Monday evening, and was asked to take out a subscription paper among the beet raisers of his neighborhood and endeavor to secure contributions to assist in the purchase of the right way for the railroad spur to the sugar factory. Mr. Bressel was not avene to doing what he could for his country, but thought that if he presented the paper to his neighbors without any subscription from himself, they might ask him to set them a good example. So he took out his PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE Mrs. Mette Roerden is spending a short vacation at Catalina island. C. O.

Fred Mickle and Chester Spencer returned on Sunday evening from the San Juan hot springs after a three weeks' outing. Mr. H. Harris and the Misses Harris of Santa Ana visited in town on Sunday, and were the guests of Mrs. G. Davis and family. Capt. Cone was over from Santa Ana yesterday afternoon, and his large personality was a conspicuous figure on Center street for a spell. Cashier Goldwater has some sample slips of poetry at the bank for distribution among his friends that will make the average silver bug's hair curl. Ex-Sheriff Theo. Laoy was in town yesterday afternoon. Theo has retired from politics and become respectable, and is now an honest farmer. Isaac Lyons was in from his ranch on Orangethorpe avenue yesterday, for the first time in a month of Sundays. Isaac looks as though farm life agreed with him. Miss Ella Gardiner, who is acting as super-intendent of the telegraph in Mrs. Lane's absence, posted up bulletins from the Indianapolis Democrat convention in front of the Postoffice yesterday. Mrs. Hartung and son, Edgar, returned on Tuesday from the Landing. Edgar has thanks of the editorial household for a bucket of fine clams. That's right, Edgar, come and see us again. Joe Boehner moved up from the Landing on Tuesday with his family, and informs us the people at the beach are breaking camp and coming back to town in time to permit of the children going to school on Monday. Ed Amerige informs us that a petition for signatures to a Bryan and free silver club was circulated in Fullerton for two weeks, and only six signatures procured. Either it was poor canvassing, or it was mighty poor sleddin'. Mr. Cargill and daughter, Mrs. Harrison, of Brookshurat, were in town on Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Cargill having just come over from the orange growers' meeting at Orange, and his daughter having driven in to drive him home. Mrs. Bittner was sufficiently tired yesterday to come up town on the car. She is yet quite weak, but is regaining her aforetime vigor. Engineer Boschke has his headquartered Southern Pacific depot, and is the operations of the railroad people on the survey at the factory spur. Rev.

Price in wrappers for mailing, 5 cents a copy. The telegraph brings the news of the Modesto of Mr. D. Plato, formerly twenty years a highly respected resident city. Mr. Plato was one of the early tenants of Anaheim, and died at his home in Berkeley full of years and honors. John Lowe, the West Anaheim black-hawks folded his tent and silently stolen John is said to be located at Capitola, although his residence is at Santa John did not make his fortune here, John? These employees in the yards of the New Wharf and Lumber Company at Santa have been served with a notice that wages will be reduced 25 per cent Ist. The new scale went into effect today. The reduction is made on all of the existing financial depression. An examination of the new Great Rogisowns, among other interesting facts, there are 322 voters in Orange county where born in Germany. They are discussed as follows: Anaheim 62, Santa Valencia 93, Westminster 29, the balance being used about the county. The Populist primaries will be held at Anahea on the 12th instant, the same town which the Democratic convention The Republican convention meets Anahea on Tuesday next. We invaded the vineyard of John Eyton for a foraging expedition the other day, and some of the most inscrutable grapes have seen in years. John had a mid-caller recently who drove in and himself, so it is estimated, to about bounds of grapes. He has been com- employ a watchman at night to the crop from being carried off, beginning to wonder what kind of bobs he really has. A double-bearled coin is the correct remedy. Very pleasing sight may be seen out of Nuffa's place southwest of town, when All are expected to bring their lunch baskets with them. The people of Orange will furnish the coffee and spread the table for the occasion. Mr. Bressel, one of the well-to-do beet raisers living west of town, was in at Dickel's establishment on Monday evening, and was saked to take out a subscription paper among the beet raisers of his neighborhood and endeavor to secure contributions to assist in the purchase of the right of way for the railroad spur to the sugar factory. Mr. Bressel was not averse to doing what he could for his country, but thought that if he presented the paper to his neighbors without any subscription from himself, they might ask him to set them a good example. So he took out his pencil and put his name down for $25, and has the list out among the beet raisers to see what he can do. Mr. Bressel is a patriot, and deserves the commendation of his entire section. The boys at the beet laboratory and beet dump are mostly for McKinley and money. Ben Hiss being the only outspoken free silver man amongst them. Ben believes that if silver will be worth fifty cents on the dollar after election he will get two dollars where he now gets one; and besides he has his eye on a silver mine that may land him if we have free silver coinage. George Garliho does not want any 50 cent dollars, but as he failed to register, he takes little interest in the election. Chemist Varner and Mr. Enneri are outspoken for sound money, as are the other boys at the laboratory. Chemist Snyder tells us that down his way—toward the Grove—there is quite a sprinkling of silver verites. The Turners' picnic occurs at Curtis' grove on Sunday next. There will be the usual games, such as have been features of these enjoyable picnics in the past, including running races, jumping, fat men's races, and the other sports of time-honored custom, for all of which handsome prizes will be offered. The singing section will entertain the guests with songs of the Fatherland, and an old-fashioned good time is antistated. Good music and a platform will be provided for those terpsichorally inlined, and we wouldn't be surprised if those present had a right smart good time. But this is usual experience at picnics given by the Anaheim turners, and if you want to enjoy an old-fashioned good time, go and see if it isn't so. Jack Hunter has called our attention to the fact that the agreement between the San Diego people and the representatives of the Japanese government recently in that city for the purpose of inaugurating a steamship line between that port and Yokohama stipulates that 4000 tons of freight per month must be guaranteed the Japs before the line of ships will be put in. Further, in lieu of this amount of freight, the contract calls for a monetary payment to the Japs of $3 in gold for every ton falling below the stipulated amount, or if paid in silver, six dollars per ton. This item appears in the Weekly Examiner, so it appears in a good Democratic newspaper. Jack is not a free silver man, desires no 50 cent dollars, and wants to know why, if Japan is on a free silver basis, its representatives insist on precipitating into the arena such a forbric argument in favor of sound finances. We cannot answer, Jack; ask some silver bug. Among the visiting Democrats in town on Saturday evening last, who came to attend the unterrified blowout, were Victor Montgomery, Bill Spurgeon, Prof. Welch, Fabius Daniel, and Bill Heathman from Santa Ana, Charley Edelman of Orange, and Deacon Benloy from Peat. It is whispered that the Santa Ana Democrats will try to "pocket" Edelman in his fight for State Senator; but Joe Becker moved up from the Landing on Tuesday with his family, and informs us the people at the beach are breaking camp and coming back to town in time to permit of the children going to school on Monday. Ed. Amerige informs us that a petition for signatures to a Bryan and free silver club was circulated in Fullerton for two weeks, and only six signatures procured. Either it was poor canvassing, or it was mighty poor sleddin'. Mr. Cargill and daughter, Mrs. Harrison, of Brookshurst, were in town on Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Cargill having just come over from the orange growers' meeting at Orange, and his daughter having driven in to drive him home. J.T. Nourse of Santa Ana, representing the Blade, was in town one day last week looking up the Democrat hereabout who are going to vote the Republican ticket. He found a number of them, and has written an interesting article concerning them. C.F. Soholl of Oakland has been in town during the week looking after his interests here. Mr. Soholl was among the pioneers who first settled the community, but for many years past has resided in the northern part of the State. Gus Stern informs us that yesterday Sept. 2—was Sedan day in the old country, the anniversary of the victory of the German arms over the French at Sedan. The day is enthusiastically observed in the Fatherland, but Gus took things quietly, and wondered how the election will come out. The advertisement of Wm. Connolly, the blacksmith, will be found in another column this morning. Connolly is an A No.1 workman, and gives especial attention to horse-shoeing. Work entrusted to his care will be given prompt and careful attention. Since the decision of the Supreme Council upholding the constitutionality of the county government act, an erroneous impression has prevailed regarding its effect upon the tenure of the Supervisors and the County Surveyor. It has been the generally accepted idea that two members of the Board of Supervisors, and perhaps the County Surveyor would be subject to re-election in November next. District Attorney Ballard has rendered an opinion in the matter, and holds that the Supervisors hold over, and that no County Surveyor need be elected this year. The McKinley Club recently organized in Fullerton has in the neighborhood of a hundred members, and is preparing to roll up a big Republican majority in November. The next meeting of the club will be Saturday evening of this week at MoDermont's Hall. The officers elected are: E.K. Benchley, president; E.R.Amerige vice-president; Alex Wright secretary; A.M.Dermontt treasurer; W.L.Hale; D.I.Nofiger; J.H.Clever; Dr.George Clark and William Stewart Buckl Executive Committee. A eucalyptus tree, 100 feet high, has been brought into town and it will be erected and a McKinley flag floated from its mast. A Liberal Offer. The regular Fall term of the Orange County Business College will open Monday Sept. 7, 1896. In order to invite examination of the work we are doing, we allow any young man or woman to enter then and receive instruction for two weeks. If at the end of that time they find that they are not suited for the work, or that the instruction is not as represented in this Journal, their expenses for these two weeks will be only the cost of the stationery. This will not amount to more than one dollar. We do this in order that students may see what they are getting when they buy; also to get a prompt attendance on the part of those intending to patronize us. Aug27-27 For Sale.

Harris & Co. 116 WEST FOURTH ST., SANTA ANA. Mrs. Bittner was sufficiently recovered yesterday to come up town on the street. She is yet quite weak, but is rapidly gaining her aforetime vigor. Engineer Boschke has his headquarters at the Southern Pacific depot, and is directing the operations of the railroad people at work in the survey at the factory spur. Rev. Wren and wife of Pomona stopped the San Diego train one evening last week, having come up from Coronado after spending some days visiting at that place. They were met at the station by Mrs. Hanna, mother of Mrs. Wren, and driven to Mirares for a short stay. Lloyd Bailey and Louie Miller went up the Santiago canyon on a hunting expedition two years last week, and returned loaded down with trophies of the chase. A single bird in the editorial breakfast table attests that they killed at least one bird. Better luck next time, boys. Mine Host Stout of the Commercial wears the broadest kind of a smile, all on account of the increase in hotel travel. A party of seven railroad surveyors' are among the most arrivals, and the register shows an increasing travel. Mr. Stout had to bring in number of cots for use the other night, and made his accommodations at times taxed to the utmost. Allan Melrose returned yesterday from Big Rook ranch, near Escondido, San Diego county, after an absence of two months visiting with relatives and friends. Alan brings back a gold medal which he won in the Oceanside bicycle races, having done in a half-mile ahead of a field of eight catch men in a distance of six miles. Mr. Capitain was in town on Monday afternoon, when he reported right of way letters in tolerably fair shape with a good prospect of getting the road. He said that condemnation proceedings would be instituted against those who will not give right of way. He left for San Francisco yesterday to close up the negotiation. It is expected that the grading forces will be here shortly. Mr. O. Winningstad, who is at the head of the railroad surveyors in the field here, made the following contribution to the critical discussion of the times, in a Los Angeles paper: "Mr. Bryan's speech of acceptance was very clever, still is explaining the intrinsic ties between gold and silver, he reminded us somewhat of the Irish school teacher, so when he told the children that 'two and two were five,' finding them somewhat surprised, said 'Two and two are five, and more if I say so.'"
