"THE SCHOOL ORACLE." At Friday afternoon's exercises at the public schools, the following school paper, edited by Miss Alma Mills, was read. We have been permitted to take the following extracts: THE SCHOOL ORACLE. Price: Good attention and best wishes. By the year, payable in advance. Editor and proprietress. Alma Mills. Anaheim. Friday, March 25, 1898. EDITORIAL. This paper is edited for the advancement of literature, exclusively. It is to create in us more interest for that study, to make us more familiar with the general topics of the day, and to give us a greater desire for composition. One object is to unite the school more closely together, and so we hope no pupil will think because we criticise some of his faults that we do it to bring ridicule upon him, but rather to correct them; if, as we hope, this is the ambition of each of us. In one respect this paper is different from other books of the hour, as we intend it to be non-political. And lastly, we will add, that as it is our first venture on the great sea of public literature, we hope our friends, classmates and contemporaries will criticise our feeble efforts with a little allowance for the first time. ANAHEIM'S NEED. By Ruth Enearl. The citizens of Anaheim seem to be farseeing in a great many things. It seems to me they ought to have foreseen enough to establish a high school for the pupils to enter who have completed the grammar grades. They either must go away and stay through the week or else travel over miles of dust a day, or stay at home; and every one knows this is not profitable when trying to get an education. There is surely enough capital in this town to support a high school. Why is it that the citizens don't see the great needs of the young people, and furnish better facilities for educating them? What is the use of paying other towns money that could just as well be supporting our own? It don't seem fair that such a small town as Fullerton should have the reputation of being more progressive than Anaheim, yet what else can new comers, for instance, think when they find it is necessary to go to Fullerton or Santa Ana in order to obtain high court of inquiry was the most valuable feature. Lieutenant-Commander Maxix, judge advocate of the court ofquiry, delivered the report to Secretary Long early this morning, and showed afterward it was carried to the White House and placed in the hands of President. At 10:30 o'clock the Court assembled, half an hour earlier than usual, and began consideration of the momentous document. Even with rigid rules of secrecy which prevail Cabinet meetings were made doubtful in this case, and no intimation of the results reached by the court was known until 2 o'clock, when a bullet gave the information to the county officials throughout Washington. These results, briefly stated, are the loss of the Maine was due to explosion from the outside, the country being unable to fix the responsibility for the explosion. The court does express an opinion as to the character of the explosive, but the testing goes to show that it was a powerful submarine mine. There were two explosions, the cases finds; the first was from the outskirts and that set off one of the smaller magazines. It was this result, expressed in detail and with the precision of a court decontaminator of its responsibility, gother with the evidence upon which it was based, that occupied the attention of the Cabinet throughout its extended sessions of the morning afternoon. All other questions gave way to this foremost question. This was no change in the plan of making the report public and transmitting it Congress early, accompanied by a message from the President. While interest was thus centered on the White House, the Navy and departments were hurrying forward their work of preparation. The variance of the Spanish torpedo flotter continued to receive the closest attention of naval officials, and, while so as could be ascertained, no definitive action was determined upon, the end of intercepting this fleet was urged by the highest naval authorities. From the standpoint of the Spanish government this movement was menace, having been decided within many weeks ago. On the contrary, Spanish government holds that there is a tensive armament of the Dry Tortoise is a more direct hostile act against Spain than any movement of the fleet. Instead of stopping the flotilla, present attitude of Spain tends toward reinforcing them with other Spanish war vessels, not as a menace, but what the Spanish government feels required called for by the existing authorities. through the week or else travel over miles of dust a day, or stay at home; and every one knows this is not profitable when trying to get an education. There is surely enough capital in this town to support a high school. Why is it that the citizens don't see the great needs of the young people, and furnish better facilities for educating them? What is the use of paying other towns money that could just as well be supporting our own? It don't seem fair that such a small town as Fullerton should have the reputation of being more progressive than Anaheim, yet what else can new comers, for instance, think when they find it is necessary to go to Fullerton or Santa Ana in order to obtain high school privileges? Let us grammar graders entreat the citizens of this town to at least try and have a high school, so that they will have a place to send us coming pupils; so we will not have to leave homes, as gruders heretofore have done. THE COMING CANNERY. By Otto Zeus. There have been eight hundred shares sold for the construction of a cannery in this town. Some of the rich men who have only one share would do a great good if they would buy more. Anaheim has got a good thing in view, so she should push it along. If the rich hesitate to buy, just tell them to think of the high school that we should have had here. THE CUBAN REVOLT. By Edith Bannerman. For some time the Spanish government had been taxing the Cubans, and yet not allowing them to govern themselves. In 1895 at the instigation of certain men, the people were stirred up to revolt. The insurgents elected Gomez as commander in chief of the army, and Marti to be the head of the provisional government. The friends of the Cubans gathered money in New York, and other leading cities in the United States, and many men left to aid the insurgents. The Spanish government sent Martinez de Campos, their oldest general, to head the troops. But the Cubans knew their ground and were used to the severe climate, therefore they had the advantage over the Spaniards. In October '95, the insurgents appointed a permanent government and adopted a constitution. Salvador Clisneros was elected President; Masso, Vice-President; Roloff, Secretary of War; Maximo Gomez, General-In-Chief of the army, and Antonio Maceo, his lieutenant-general. In nearly all the skirmishes and battles, the insurgents have had the advantage. But it is because the Cubans knowing their inferiority in numbers, lie in ambush instead of standing in open field. The Spanish government made a wrong move when they sent out Weyler, or the "Butcher," as he called, to take De Campos' place. De Campos had treated the non-combatants kindly, but Weyler, thinking that harsh treatment would bring them over to the Spanish side, starved them, and used them cruelly, until now they hate the Spanials bitterly. Even the foreigners were not safe, for on the least provocation they were cast into prison. Taking all his cruelty together he has antagonized the nations of the world. Antonio Maceo was led into a trap by a traitor. A man having brought the information that a band of Spaniffs was in the vicinity, Maceo, with a small detachment, went in search of them and was surrounded by the army and shot down. Thus affairs went from bad to worse until Spain recalled Weyler and sent out Blanco. He followed a different plan. The non-combatants were treated kindly, and the prisoners had sufficient food. But value is it to step from class to class, every year becoming weaker and weaker, our steps becoming more and more shaky and uncertain, until at last we sink down in despair? Is this the end of education? Is it not better to "make haste slowly?" If our steps are weak, do we not show wisdom in making those we do take sure, even if our companions do outstrip us? Let us inquire, what is the end of education? Will anyone dare to answer graduation, a piece of sheepskin bearing our names in large letters, with which we may decorate our wall? If such is thy aim, drop thy books immediately and seek the work bench or farm, for he whose aim is near the earth can never strike high. The end of education is development of character, a three fold character; it has its physical side, its mental side. Its moral side. The end is to develop men and women fitted to do work in this small niche where God has placed them, fitted to make the country better, the world better to live in. If we are lifted over all obstacles from the first grade through the ninth, where is the development of character, where is true education? Will it not necessitate a lifting out even at the last: it should be through the back, but it has been too often through the front door of the school. Let us once and forever get rid of the old, mistaken notion that we come to school to pass, to graduate, to receive a diploma; let us endeavor to understand the full significance and be earnest in our efforts toward true development, and not simply graduation.

But he is gradually slipping into Weyler's mode of treatment. The non-combatants are looking to the United States to supply them with food and clothing. A few months ago the United States' best ship, the Maine, was blown up in Havana harbor. There were one-hundred killed and two hundred missing besides many wounded and mained. From hearsey suspicion points to the Spaniards as the perpetrators of the deed, but nothing will be done until the court of inquiry gives its decision. Thus rests the Cuban question at the present time, but it is my humble opinion that it will not last long, for the nations of the world are disgusted with Spain's treatment of the Cubans. THE SAUNTERER By Prof. Littel. While wending my way along one of the beautiful avenues in the suburbs of this fair city of Anaheim, I was attracted by the sweet warble of one of California's native singers. Oh, how happy the creature seemed to be! First the tones are slow and solemn; then, increasing in intensity, the whole soul seemed flooded with a wild outburst of music until its little body trembled and shook enough to break it in pieces. At the wildest burst of song the little mocking bird would take a flutter up in the air as if to throw its wildest tones far out upon the listening audience near by. After its wild burst of music it again lighted on a twig preparatory for another song. What lessons may we take from the small creatures which God has made? We saw in the bird, the expression of its little heart in sweetest song. Its happiness was intense, its outward expression was equally intense. It loved and lived in a sphere of great joy; we might take our lessons from it. GRADUATION VERSUS EDUCATION By Miss Roberts. These two words, although very different in meaning, and derivation seem very often to become confused in our minds until we seem to prefer the lesser to the greater. Graduation, gradus, grade, a step: the act of taking a step. Education, educate. Eout, duco, to draw, the act of drawing out. One, the step taken, the other the long preparation enabling us to advance stop by step, carefully, thoughtfully, ever Woman’s Ills are as often caused by kidney disease as by affections of the womb. Among the most certain symptoms of this disease are Backache, Bad Complexion, A Tired Feeling, Depressed Spirits, Headache, Nervousness, Sidache, Neuralgia, Too Frequent Urination, Dragging Pains, etc. These can be CURED "I can heartily recommend your Sparagus Kidney Pills to any woman afflicted with those distressing pains in the back and sides and kidney weakness, for they have cured me. For several years I have been troubled with backache, bearing down pains and urinary trouble. Nothing succeeded in relieving me, until I got a box of Dr. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills.

Viewed in detail，the finding of A School Girl's Nerves. This record is of especial value to parents. It's a message from a loving mother dedicated to the mothers of growing girls. A truthful narrative of the utmost interest and import. It is important that the nerves are carefully guarded. Mothers who have young daughters of school age should watch their health more carefully than their studies. The proper development of their bodies is of first importance. After the confinement of the school room, plenty of out-door exercise should be taken. It is better that children never learn their a, b, c, s, than that by over-study they lose their health. All this is self-evident. Everyone admits it—everyone knows it, but everyone does not know how to build the health up when once broken down, even the best physicians failing at times. The following method of Mrs. Stephen Barnes, whose post office address is Burney, Ind., if rightly applied, may save your daughter. When her daughter Lucy was at that critical girlhood age of twelve years she grew weak and nervous. "Previously she had been a bright healthy young girl," says Mrs. Barnes, "She was diligent and progressive in her studies." "It became necessary, however, for her to leave school." "She was overtaxed mentally and physically." "Her nerves were at such a tension that the least noise irritated her." "She had continual twitching in the arms and lower limbs and symptoms of St. Vitus' dance." "Her blood was out of order she was thin and pale, almost lifeless. In three months she lost twenty-three pounds." "We did everything possible for her, and she had the best of medical treatment." Several skilled physicians attended her, but no benefit was apparent. "A family friend visiting us, told how her daughter had been similarly affected, but cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People." "She urged us to try the pills, and we finally consented." "We have always rejoiced that we did." "The pills helped Lucy at once, and after taking eight boxes she was entirely cured." "She is now in perfect health, strong, weighs ten pounds more than ever before, and her cheeks are full of color." "Two years of schooling were missed on account of ill health, but now she can gratify her ambition to study and become an educated woman." The reason that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People were helpful in the above case, is that they are composed of vegetable remedies which act directly on the impure blood, the foundation of disease. As the blood rushes through all parts of the body, the conveyer of good or bad health, it is necessary that it should be pure, rich and red. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills build up the blood by supplying its life giving elements which nourishes the various organs, stimulating them to activity in the performance of their functions and thus drives disease from the system. The pills are in universal demand and sold by all druggists. COLD WEATHER. Different Points in the State Suffer by a Visitation of Frost. RIVERSIDE, March 23.—This part of the county was visited last night by the heaviest frost that has ever been experienced here at this time of the year, and as a result the apricot crop is ruined in the greater part of the county. Here in the city that variety of fruit was all killed. Walnuts and rid of one-eighth of an inch of hair. That will be a quarter of an inch a week, or an inch in a month. To get rid of that inch you pay $1 20. An inch a month is 12 inches a year, costing you $14.40. "Now"—and the statistician drew a long breath—"12 inches a year for 52 years is 624 inches, or 52 feet. It will cost you $748 80 to get that amount of whiskers out of your system. Then suppose you give a nickel tip every time to the man——" But the fellow who hates figures had fled. VOICE OF THE PRESS BEET CROP NOTES. From the Chino Champion, March 19. The weather for the past week been most discouraging to beet flies as well as to all others. The badly needed has not come, but we have had a series of drying which have not only still further out the soil, but damaged some by drifting sand. In an interview yesterday with Ruopp, agricultural superintendent the factory, he told us that there planted up to last-Saturday at Chino ranch 750 acres; at Anaheim acres, and at Florence 1090—a 3210 acres tributary to this field. Last year at this date there were acres planted including Hutchison which was then tributary to the factory. The planting is therefore further advanced than it was on ago. But 20 acres have yet been planted. Thinning is just ready to commence At Anaheim there are 155 acres to thin, at Florence 75, and at Chino ranch one or two fields. Have been plowed for beets up at Chino 4200 acres; at Anaheim acres and Florence 200 acres. Mr. Ruopp says that unless we an inch or more of rain he expire crop from Anaheim. Florence better condition to withstand drought. He takes a more encouraging of the condition at Chino. He that this ranch is better suited to stand drought than any of the growing sections. If we shall have some spring showers there will allow a small acreage under control planted; though of course they must be expected to be light on land. He advises the farmers to tinue working the soil and thoroughly pulverised so it will what moisture there is and absorb may yet fall. GEE WHILIKERS! From the Los Angeles Herald. The Herald names Scipio Corydon Redlands for the thankless post Republican nominee for congress the seventh district. If he will there will be only one candidate cause the northern counties would fall into line directly the announcement was made. Orange Trees for Sale. Best varieties: 200 or 300 for low rates; 20 cents apiece. A W. M. McFadden, Placentia. Different Points in the State Suffer by a Visitation of Frost. RIVERSIDE, March 23.—This part of the county was visited last night by the heaviest frost that has ever been experienced here at this time of the year, and as a result the apricot crop is ruined in the greater part of the county. Here in the city that variety of fruit was all killed. Walnuts and early peaches as well as figs were damaged considerably. The frost nipped orange blossoms to some extent, but not enough damage was done to affect the crop. Up to last night the cold weather had not done any damage here, although it did in other parts of the county. WOODLAND, March 23.—Last night was the coldest of the season here. Between 5 and 6 o'clock this morning the thermometer registered 24 degrees in the Yolo orchard for nearly two hours. No examination has yet been made, but Mr. DePue says the destruction was so great when the thermometer touched 26 degrees that it hardly seems probable that there are any apricot and almond buds alive now. At Winters the temperature of the valley was as low as 21. Heretofore orchards near the foothills, and especially near the mouth of the canyon and running water, were not so badly affected and there were hopes that almonds and apricots would yield at least a partial crop, but the news this morning leaves but little hope, and the prevailing opinion is that almond and apricot buds are practically all dead. The importance of the fruit industry to Yolo county can be better appreciated when it is understood that at the Yolo orchard alone $15,000 was paid out in wages last season. ORANGE, March 23.—Despite the fact that the rainfall has amounted to 4.23 inches the prospects in this section are not at all bad. The ditches are carrying immense volumes of water, and while the hay crop will be short it will nothing like a failure. At the present time the outlook for peaches and apricots has never been better. SACRAMENTO, March 23.—This morning was the coldest here in twenty years for so late in the season, falling to 30 degrees. The frost was very heavy and reports received to-day from various localities show that orchardists believe all crops, with the possible exception of pears, have been well nigh ruined. These reports of the damages may be overestimated, but the fact that such a heavy frost has occurred at a time when the young fruit is forming renders the outlook very disheartening. WHAT SHAVING COSTS. Statistical Fiend Was Ready With Figures But the Other Fled. The statistician, who had been busy with his penil, looked up at the man who hates figures and said: "Didn't have anything to do and thought I'd figure a little. You know that if I were cast on a desert island, with a bundle of lead pencils and plenty of paper, I wouldn't care a cent whether a sail hoe in sight or not. I saw that you needed a shave, and that set me to thinking. Why do you shave, anyhow? I never do. Look here." "We'll suppose that you began shaving at 18 years of age and that you keep it up until you are 70." That makes 52 rid of one-eighth of an inch of hair. That will be a quarter of an inch a week, or an inch in a month. To get rid of that inch you pay $120. An inch a month is 12 inches a year, costing you $14.40. "Now—and the statistician drew a long breath—"12 inches a year for 52 years is 624 inches, or 52 feet. It will cost you $748 80 to get that amount of whiskers out of your system. Then suppose you give a nickel tip every time to the man—" But the fellow who hates figures had fled. Sayings, Wise And Otherwise. A mole wants no lantern. A quiet tongue shows a wise head.

A man has often more trouble to digest meat than to get it. A pot that belongs to many is ill stirred and worse boiled. A man may live upon little, but he cannot live upon nothing. A man, as he manages himself, may die old at 30 or young at 80. H. J. Robertson, a grocer's clerk, who has been in the employ of J. O. Slatter of San Jacinto, has received the appointment as sixth assistant secretary of war from President McKinley. The appointment was not sought by Mr. Robertson, but was secured for him by Congressman Fred Stocks, who represents a Missouri district, and who is an old schoolmate of Mr. Robertson. The latter gentleman will start for Washington at once. A man stands no chance of being elected to the mayorship of a city unless he enjoys the confidence and esteem of his neighbors. Geo. W. Humphrey is the popular mayor of Swanton, Ohio, and under date of Jan. 17, 1896, he writes as follows: "This is to certify our appreciation of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

In making plans for a trip to any East it is well to remember that three routes can be had over the South coast line via Portland and Portland via Portland Statistical Flend Was Ready With Figures But the Other Fled. The statistician, who had been busy with his pencil, looked up at the man who hates figures and said: "Didn't have anything to do and thought I'd figure a little. You know that if I were cast on a desert island, with a bundle of lead piles and plenty of paper, I wouldn't care a cent whether a sail hove in sight or not. I saw that you needed a shave, and that set me to thinking. Why do you shave, anyhow? I never do. Look here: "We'll suppose that you began shaving at 18 years of age and that you keep it up until you are 70. That makes 52 years. You have a heavy beard. We'll suppose that you shave twice a week. That costs 15 cents a shave, and you get Why Women Cannot Sleep." The highly organized, finely-strung nervous system of women subjects them to terrors of nervous apprehension which no man can ever appreciate. The peace of mind, the mental poise and calmness under difficulties, which is necessary for happy womanhood is only possible when the sensitive feminine organism is in a perfectly healthy condition. If there be any weakness or derangement in this respect no remedy in the world so completely restores womanly health, nervous vigor and capability as the wonderful "Favorite Prescription" invented by Dr. R.V. Pierce, chief consultant physician of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N.Y. It purifies, heals and strengthens; insures functional regularity; provides physical reinforcement and sustaining power at periods of special weakness and depression. It is the only medicine which makes the coming of baby safe and comparatively easy. In a personal letter to Dr. Pierce, Mrs. Marguerite Collin, of Cutler, Algoma Co., Ont., says: "I was a sufferer and was cured by Dr. Pierce's wonderful medicine. When I commenced the medicine I could neither eat nor sleep. My hands and feet were constantly cold; I had a wasting, troublesome drain for three months and my monthly periods were never regular." I took Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and it cured me. I feel well. I thank the World's Dispensary Medical Association." NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION OF TIME FOR PROVING WILL, ETC.

A.D.D.SHEPARD,Ast.Gen Pass Angeles,Goodall,Perkins&Agts.,S.F. VOICE OF THE PRESS. BEET CROP NOTES. From the Chino Champion, March 25. The weather for the past week has been most discouraging to beet farmers well as to all others. The rain so easily needed has not come, but instead have had a series of drying wines which have not only still further dried the soil, but damaged some fields drifting sand. On an interview yesterday with Mr. Ruopp, agricultural superintendent of the factory, he told us that there were planted up to last Saturday on the no ranch 750 acres; at Anaheim 1370 acres, and at Florence 1090—a total of 20 acres tributary to this factory. At year at this date there were 2680 trees planted including Hueneme, which was then tributary to this facility. The planting is therefore much further advanced than it was one year ago. But 20 acres have yet been re-printed. Thinning is just ready to commence. Anaheim there are 155 acres ready within, at Florence 75, and on the no ranch one or two fields. There have been plowed for beets up to date. China 4200 acres, at Anaheim 2700 acres and Florence 200 acres. Mr. Ruopp says that unless we have much or more of rain he expects no crop from Anaheim. Florence is in a better condition to withstand drought. He takes a more encouraging view of the condition at China. He says that this ranch is better suited to withstand drought than any of the beet sowing sections. If we shall yet get one spring showers there will be but small acreage under contract not rented; though of course the yield must be expected to be light on some land. He advises the farmers to continue working the soil and keep it thoroughly pulverised so it will retain that moisture there is and absorb what may yet fall. GEE WHILIKERS!
