THAT DEFAULT CASE. Was Lawyer McKelvey Guilty of Sharp Practice—The District Attorney's Side of the Case. District Attorney West has forwarded us the following explanation of the Hall’s Safe and Lock Works case, in which judgment was recently rendered in the Superior Court at Santa Ana against the county in the sum of $4,037, by the failure of the District Attorney to appear and contest the same. The District Attorney has come in for extended criticism therefor, and in reply states his case as follows: EDITOR GAZETTE—In the early part of the year 1897 the Board of Supervisors, under the advice of the District Attorney, took possession of the County Jail and completed it and then brought a suit entitled, “The County of Orange vs. Hall’s Safe and Lock Works, et al., defendants,” which suit is known as the "Interpleader Case," and therein the following proceedings were had: On the 3d day of April, 1897, in the said Interpleader case, Judge Shaw made an order, a portion of which is as follows: “It is therefore ordered that each and all of said defendants herein (the Hall’s Safe & Lock Works being one) be and they are hereby required to interplead and litigate between themselves for their respective rights to said balance and that said plaintiff (Orange county) be permitted, and plaintiff is hereby directed to pay into this court said balance of $7764.28 remaining in its hands belonging to said jail fund.” That after the several defendants had plead, the Hall’s Safe & Lock Works, with the balance, and upon the hearing of said case, on the 28th day of July, 1897, Judge Shaw made the following finding among others: (1) That all the allegations of the plaintiff’s complaint (meaning the county of Orange) are true, except that the amount of plaintiff’s indebtedness still unpaid on the construction of said jail is the sum of $7831.58 instead of the sum of $7764.28. (2) That all the defendants, interplead by cross-complaints as between themselves concerning their respective rights to said sum of $7831.58; that plaintiff thereupon be dismissed herefrom and be saved from all further liabilities for or on account of the claims of the several defendants herein (among which is the Hall’s Safe & Lock Works) and that an interlocutory decree or order be made in accordance herewith. Upon said findings the court entered its interlocutory decree, a portion of which is as follows: “It is therefore Cures Prove the merit of Hood’s Sarsaparilla—positive, perfect, permanent Cures.

HUENEME, Oct. 27.—Notwithstanding the east wind which blew a gale, a large number of farmers and representative business men met here this afternoon to discuss the plan proposed by Henry T. Oxnard to establish a beet sugar factory on the Colonia ranch. The meeting was business-like throughout. The agreement to be signed by Mr. Oxnard and the several farmers was first read. It provides that the grower shall, for 5 years commencing with 1898, devote to the culture of sugar beets a given number of acres, and Mr. Oxnard agrees to pay therefor $3.25 per ton for beets which shall contain not less than 12 per cent of sugar, and 25 cents per ton for each additional one per cent. In case the Hawaiian islands should at any time during the existence of the contract or its renewal become annexed to the United States then the basic SNAKES OF BOYHOOD SOME EXTINCT REPTILIANS THAT HAD MARVELOUS ATTRIBUTES. The Terrible Blue Racer and the Thousands of Victims He Didn't Get—The Hoop Snake That All Knew of, but Few Ever Saw—Peculiarities of Glass Snakes. The blue racer was an ophidian calculated to cause the hair of the small boy to stand on end like the quills of the frettful porcupine. Nothing could exceed the flendish malignity of this snake whose powers of locomotion were credibly swift and whose appetite fled boy was forever on edge. And it would only by relieving himself of all impediments, such as the bucket containing his small store of berries or his fishing tackle and can of bait, that a boy would able to avoid capture. It was the current belief that when the blue racer came up with his prey he swiftly folded the unlucky wight in his dead coils, crushed the life out of him and then devoured him at his leisure. So far as history goes and the mortuary record show no boy was ever cut off in the bloom of his youth by a blue racer, his disasters of this kind were only avoided by the remarkable fleetness of foot dancers played on such occasions. His terror gave him supernatural strength and added wings to his feet and the blue racer was incontinent left in the shade. The blue racer, cording to a cloud of youthful witness who have testified thereto, was a snake ranging from 11 to 16 feet long, the average length being about 15 feet. Aspect was threatening in the extremes and its eyes gleamed with a baleful nuggy light. As it reared its ugly hull four or five feet above the surface search of the trembling youngsters underside was seen to be of a bright blue color, and from this fact and his swings movements he received his apt and dangling name. Blue racers are scarce as hens' teeth now. But the most deadly, the most great some and the most appalling snake known to boyhood was the feather hoop snake, now happily extinct. This scourge of the forest was the noire of the urchin; who was continue ly in mortal terror of encountering it he wandered through the pleasant woor or angled in the waters of his favorite stream. The hoop snake roamed darksome shades of the forest like... Upon said findings the court entered its interlocutory decree, a portion of which is as follows: "It is therefore by reason of the law and the findings aforesaid, ordered, adjudged and decreed: That said defendants, within ten days after service of notice of the decision herein, prepare, serve and file their respective cross-complaints, setting up their respective rights to said sum of $7831 58. That the further hearing of this case, as to all of the defendants, be and the same is hereby continued until such time as may be set for the final trial hereof after the issues between the several defendants shall have been joined." For some reason the Hall's Safe & Lock Works saw fit to bring suit against Orange county for $4087, notwithstanding the orders above set out, and on the 28th of July, two days before the defendant's time was up to answer. The District Attorney made application to Judge Shaw and obtained twenty days additional time to answer, and notified S. A. Bowes, the partner of Chas. S. McKelvey, attorneys for the Hall's Safe & Lock Works, personally of this fact. On the 5th day of August, some 16 days before defendant's 20 days had expired, S. A. Bowes caused the default of Orange county to be entered by the Clerk of the Superior Court. Immediately thereafter E. T. Langley, who was doing some work for the District Attorney, filed a motion to set aside the default, and when the motion came before Judge Shaw he declined to hear it for the reason that the grounds of the motion were not stated, but gave the District Attorney leave to renew the motion, which was at once done and which had not been passed upon by the court when the Hall's Safe & Lock Works got judgment against the county. On the 9th of October, 1897, Judge Noyes was presiding for Judge Ballard and Mr. McKelvey, one of the attorneys for Hall's Safe & Lock Works, was in the courtroom when court adjourned at noon until Monday, the 11th. Some time ir. the afternoon Major McKelvey got Judge Noyes to open court and then procured a judgment by default. The reason for entering the judgment Judge Noyes states in his affidavit, which he mailed to the District Attorney when he learned that there was a motion pending to set aside the default, as follows: "J. S. Noyes being duly sworn says: 'That he is the Superior Judge of Riverside county, and as such held court in Orange county at the request of the Hon. J. W. Ballard on Saturday, the 9th day of October, 1897. That Mr. McKelvey, attorney for plaintiff, applied to him while presiding in said court for a judgment upon default; that said McKelvey represented me in open court that the default had been regularly entered up against the defendant; that a motion had been made to set aside default before the Hon. Lucien Shaw, Superior Judge of Los Angeles county, while presiding in said court; that said motion had been denied; that the defendant had aban- Henry T. Oxnard to establish a beet sugar factory on the Colonia ranch. The meeting was business-like throughout. The agreement to be signed by Mr. Oxnard and the several farmers was first read. It provides that grower shall, for 5 years commencing with 1898, devote to the culture of sugar beets a given number of acres, and Mr. Oxnard agrees to pay therefor $3 per ton for beets which shall contain not less than 12 per cent of sugar, and 25 cents per ton for each additional one per cent. In case the Hawaiian islands should at any time during the existence of the contract or its renewal become annexed to the United States then the basic price for beets containing not less than 12 per cent of sugar to the weight of the beet shall be $3 per ton. Then follows clauses regarding payments, preparation of soil, seeding, etc. Mr. Oxnard agrees on his part to erect in this valley a factory of the capacity of 1000 tons per day. The clause which provoked the most discussion was the last, which provided that Mr. Oxnard should retain out of money due for beete delivered an amount not to exceed 10 cents per ton to be used in forming a fund to reimburse in full whoever may guarantee the 100-acre site, the right way from site to ocean for railroad and drainage ditches and wharf rights. It is understood the amount required will not exceed in all $20,000. It was questioned by some in the meeting whether the party could be found who would guarantee the bonus, but when the matter was placed before the prominent growers immediately more than twenty men responded, men who are in the aggregate good for twenty times the guarantee. This guarantee makes the erection of the largest sugar factory on the coast an assured fact. Much enthusiasm was manifested when the announcement was made. Indian Medicine Bags. The medicine bags of Navajoos, Zunia and Apaches, all kindred tribes in New Mexico and Arizona, contain a curious powder, known as corn pollen or hoddinit. This powder, which is the pollen of a rush, and also of malze, appears to be used as a medicine, being eaten by the sick and put on the head or other parts to ease pain, but principally a sacred offering to the sun and moon and as a sanctifier of everything. A pinch of it is thrown toward the sun and then toward the four winds for help in war or the chase, is put on the trail of a snake to prevent harm from it, placed on the tongue of the tired hunter as a restorative, hung in bags round the necks of infants as a preservative and sprinkled on the dead. In fact, every action of these Indians is canceled by this powder, so that, as Captain Bourke writes in the ninth volume of "The Report of the Bureau of Ethnology" (Smithsonian), "plenty of hoddinit has come to mean that a particular performance or place is sacred." Captain Bourke shows many analogies to use of this sacred powder both in the east and among ancient Greeks and Romans, and it is clear that similar practices with regard to "medicine"—that is, magic—have prevailed everywhere and in all ages, for superstition seems to be the universal heritage of man, so deeply ingrained in his very nature that allthe efforts of philosophers and "thirteen" clubs will not avail to root it out. Medicine bags or amulets will continue to be worn open- But the most deadly, the most great some and the most appalling snakes known to boyhood was the feather snake, now happily extinct. This source of the forest was by no means in mortal terror of encountering it he wandered through the pleasant woods or angled in the waters of his favorite stream. The hoop snake roamed darksome shades of forest like avenging Nemesis, and, like the borer snake was always on the lookout boys. The hoop snake differed uniquely from all other ophidia. When in danger it was habit of this snake inserting end of its tail in its mouth and bending its body into a perfect clee it would roll silently and with credible swiftness through the woody harder than steel, in which was conceived a sting of the most venomous scripture, and woe bethe object that came within striking distance this fearful weapon. The virus in this tail was far more toxic than the virus of the rattlesnake or the tooth of copperhead and was synonymous with instant death. Fortunately no boy was ever stray by one of these snakes. His caution, prudence and proverbial good luck ways enabled him to circumnavigate machinations ofthe enemy,但it quired ceaseless vigilance on his pants Indeed，但 few boys ever saw on these reptiles although we were aware of their existence.Bat intervals some youth favored with cephalic eyesight and a vivid imagination would get a glimpse of a snake rolling its way along a disney path.

Whereupon I required said McKelvey to be sworn and he was sworn by the clerk of said court in open court, and he then and there testified that of his own personal knowledge he knew all the facts in said complaint to be true.

CONDEE, County Clerk." The District Attorney immediately filed a motion to set aside the judgment and the matter came up on the 19th day of October, 1897, before Judge Shaw, who was familiar with all the facts in these two cases and who immediately vacated and set aside the default and judgment. I submit this case to any fair, candid person for his decision as to whether the District Attorney is guilty of neglect, or should be severely criticised or criticised at all. It has at all times and under all circumstances been my constant effort and full desire to do my full duty as an officer and as one of the citizens of the county, and if I have failed it has not been intentional.

A Franchise For Sale. "The biggest thing I ever had on tap," said a citizen of Alabama. "was when I first realized that it was necessary for me to go out and do something for myself. Before I came face to face with this emergency I had been abroad and was impressed with the way they must make money at Monte Carlo. It was mathematically a sure thing and plenty of it. "After I had interested two friends we all went to Mexico, and by lavish promises succeeded in getting a franchise from the government and were to conduct a mammoth gambling institution under its protection. Not the least promising feature was a lottery, and there were to be all the other allurements that attract the devotees of chance. "It was no trouble to interest all the capital we wanted. Men of the east advanced the money, with the one proviso that they should not appear in the transaction. We imported some of the wisest gamblers of the west, and of course they went through their paces just to show what they could do when the vast enterprise became active. One night we three proprietors took a hand to familiarize ourselves with the sports. By sunrise the gamblers had every dollar that was to go into our Monte Carlo, and we put in five years working in a silver mine to reimburse our backers. We have the franchise yet."—Detroit Free Press. "The worst cold I ever had in my life was cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy," writes W. H. Norton, of Sutter Creek, Cal.

A Fearful Experience A POSTMASTER LOSES THE USE OF HIS LEGS AND ARMS. Edwin R. Tripp, of Middlefield Center, Meets with a Hazardous Encounter Which Renders Him Helpless. From Otsego Republican, Cooperstown, N.Y. Mr. Edwin R. Tripp, the postmaster at Middlefield Center, N.Y., recently had a dangerous experience which left him in a helpless state. His system was so much shattered that it was feared he might never recover. In an interview with a reporter of the Republican, regarding this experience which had attracted considerable attention, Mr. Tripp stated: "In March, 1892, I was taken with what I afterward learned was locomotor ataxia, and was unable to walk, and I kept getting worse until I lost the use of my arms. I doctored with two skillful doctors but received no benefit, and also used a galvanic battery but kept getting worse and the doctors told me they could do no more. This was in May and June, 1892. I gave up all hope of ever having the use of my limbs again, and did not expect to live very long. I was unable to dress or undress myself, and could not get around the house unless I was moved in a chair." "I think it was in June that I read of the case of a man in Saratoga Co., N.Y., who was taken very much as myself. He had taken Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People which contained, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves, and had been cured by their use." "I learned that the pills were prepared by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.Y., and only cost 50 cents a box." In the spring of 1893 I was elected town clerk, which office I held for three years. I had previously been a justice of the peace for thirty-two years. I am now 70 years of age, and have lived in this town for about forty-six years. For nearly fifty years I worked at the blacksmith's trade. I am able to work in my garden now, and saw some of my wood. I consider that my restoration to health is due to the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. EDWIN R.

In early life Edison secured a position as a night operator at a little way station near by. There was practically nothing to be done during the night, as no trains ever stopped at the little siding, but it was necessary to keep an operator on duty there in case of emergency.

LIGHT IN THE WINDOW The Long Vigil of the Mother of Carrollton of Bourbon, Ind., and What Came of It. Early in 1859 John Carrollton Bourbon, Ind., then a boy of four years, struck his mother in a suit of anger. His father punished boy very severely for the act, in spite of his mother's expressed wishes contrary. This caused the boy harbor deep resentment and the termination to abandon home. Some night his mother gave him commission to go to the village purchase some family supplies; manner convinced her that he determined to run away and she him that no matter how long he remained there would always be a lift the window to guide him home. That night he disappeared. night the sorrowing mother put lighted lamp in the window. years passed away, but during all time the neighbors always saw same light in that same window night fell. There it burned all the long weary nights until last Twenty years passed and no tears were received of the wanderer; father succumbed to age and grief was laid away in the cemetery. The widowed mother resumed her placing the lamp at the window fore. Thirty-eight years slipped away. But her attendants always placed light in the window.

Druggists Edison's First Invention. In early life Edison secured a position as a night operator at a little way station near by. There was practically nothing to be done during the night, as no trains ever stopped at the little siding, but it was necessary to keep an operator on duty there in case of emergency. Edison soon chafed under this inactivity. Night after night he watched through the weary hours until daylight without having sent or received a single message except the perfunctory signal—the letter "B"—which all operators were required to send over the wire every half hour as a proof that they were on duty and at their posts. Finally the future "wizard" began some electrical experiments to while away the time. Within a few days he had arranged a switchboard contrivance on the clock which every 30 minutes released an automatic attachment that telegraphed the signal "B" and the number of the station over the railway wire. After that life was too easy for the young operator. He would go on duty early in the evening, and after having several conversations over the wire with the train dispatcher would turn on the switch and go to sleep on a cot in the rear of the office. Throughout the night the clock would report the station "on duty" regularly every half hour. This device worked like a charm. No one knows how long it might have remained in use were it not for the fact that in an evil moment the young inventor took another operator into his confidence. The latter attempted to construct an automatic machine and failed. It succeeded, however, in tangling matters so badly that an investigation was set on foot, which resulted in retiring young Edison to private life for several years. — Chicago Times-Herald. Sneezing. When traveling in the south of Ireland some years ago, I was not a little surprised to hear every one in a room shout, "God bless you," when any person sneezed, and the "God bless you" was repeated for every sneeze. I have since learned that this salutation has an origin going back to the sixth century, when the black plague fell upon Rome. Its victims showed the first symptoms by sneezing. When the African king of Menomopata sneezes, all those near his person send up a great shout, all within hearing take it up, so that the sneeze may be said to go echoing through the kingdom. One would think the subjects would soon get hoarse if their sovereign chanced to have an old fashioned New England hay fever. When the king of Senarau sneezes, his courtiers turn their backs on him and give a loud slap on their right thigh. There is a great deal of character in the manner of sneezing, and though even George Washington could not be diggified when he felt a sneeze coming on and was in doubts whether it would come to a head or not it must be confessed that a good sneeze is more pleasurable than otherwise. — New York Ledger.

It sometimes happens that a trifling scratch or puncture made with a pen gives rise to dangerous septicemia. The chemical constituents of the ink which is introduced by the pen into the wound are not capable of producing septicemia, but microscopical examination proves that the ill effects are due to the liability of ink to contain pathogenic bacteria. Dr. Marpmann of Leip-sic has recently published the results of the microscopical examination of 67 samples of ink used in schools. Most of them were made with gall nuts and contained saprophytes, bacteria and micrococci. Nigrosin ink taken from a freshly opened bottle was found to contain both saprophytes and bacteria. Red and blue ink also yielded numerous bacteria. In two instances Dr. Marpmann succeeded in cultivating from nigrosin ink a bacillus which proved fatal to mice within four days. This ink had stood in an open bottle for three months, and the inference to be drawn from the inquiry is that ink used in schools should always be kept covered when not in use. — London Lancet. T tedious Work of Old Bookmakers. During the twelfth and thirteenth centuries monks frequently isolated themselves from the world and reproduced the Bible in illuminated manuscript. The work was necessarily slow and in no instance was it accomplished in less than 85 years. Guido de Jars was a producer of these illuminated manuscripts, and a beautiful specimen of his work was sold along with the books of Sir W. Burrell in 1790. This copy of the Bible had occupied half a century in its production. A note in the beginning of the manuscript in Jars' handwriting indicates that he began his task in 1244 and did not conclude it till 1294. A Translation.
