LOCAL NEWS EVENTS. Red Cross Entertainment To-Morrow Evening. Patriotic Ladies and Gentlemen of Anaheim and Vicinity Meet to Raise Funds for the Soldier Boys of the Seventh Regiment Now on Their Way to Manila—Cannery Directors Establish the Price to Be Paid for Fruit the Coming Season—$18 Per Ton for First-Class Apricots and Clingstone Peaches—Correspondence—Local Brevities. All signs point to one of the most successful entertainments at the Opera-house to-morrow evening, when the ladies and gentlemen of this city and vicinity will tender their services for the benefit of the Red Cross Society, the purpose being to purchase medical supplies for the boys of the Seventh Regiment now on their way to Manila. The entertainment will take the form of patriotic tableaux, singing and a general order of exercises that promises a most enjoyable program. One of the tableaux has been given over into the management of Alex Henry, and he informs us he will do his best to keep up his reputation as a designer in that histrionic line. We have seen Alex as George Washington crossing the Delaware in our Fourth of July procession, and now we shall see him as Admiral Dewey landing the first boatload of Americans at the port of Manila. The tableau will show a rowboat making its way through the surf, conspicuous among its occupants being Alex with an Admiral's uniform on. Alex is a veteran of the Crimean war, and was a member of the crew of the admiral's ship, the Agamemnon, at Inkerman, Alma and the siege of Sebastopol. Other appropriate tableaux will be presented, and there will be singing and music by the band. The entertainment will terminate with a social hop, and refreshments will be served by the ladies. A full house should be present, as much for remembrance of the boys who have gone off to the war, as for the excellence of the program, which is as follows: One of the most attractive features of the entertainment will be a mammoth cake made by Mrs. Konig, decorated in the national colors and surmounted by a life like figure, of Uncle Sam dressed in the regulation style and carrying the Red Cross flag. The cake will be raffled during the evening and the proceeds turned into the general fund. Master of Ceremonies.....Richard Melrose Music by the Anaheim Band....Spruced Banner FAREWELL RECEPTION. Mr. and Mrs. Cahen Entertain a Company of Friends In Honor of Mr. Goldwater. One of the most enjoyable social events that have been recorded in a long time was the reception tendered by Mr. and Mrs. Cahen on Thursday evening last, in honor of the departure of L. Goldwater for Los Angeles. The many lights gleaming from the spacious residence told that the occasion was one of no mean importance, and the interior parlors were decorated in very handsome effect with roses, carnations and other flowers. The company was composed of a coterie of Mr. Goldwater's friends and associates, who have entertained for him a very high respect during his residence here of some five years past. The guests were shown upstairs, where games at cards served to occupy the time pleasantly for several hours. Punch was served and soon the cigars served to remind one of a Pastime smoker. Whist, euchre and hearts held the boards until 11, when the host announced that the company would repair downstairs, where a lengthy table, extending through the center of the front and rear parlors, was literally loaded with the delicacies of the season. The seated guests were soon regaling themselves with rare slices of cold chicken, ham and excellent salads, a fine old brand of Reisling being at hand to assist the digestive apparatus. There were olives, pickles and many dainty dishes, to which the most ample attention was given for an hour. Coffee, cake and ice cream, each plate very appropriately decorated with representations of the national colors in miniature, served to terminate the repast, after which impromptu toasts were responded to by R. Melrose, W. J. Fay, H. Cahen, Jacob Everhardy, L. Goldwater, J. B. Rea, P. A. Derge, Dr. Houck, Herman Stern, Frank Shanley, Jno. Hartung, Otto Rust, C. G. McKinley, W. T. Brown, Fred Crist, Dr. Eddy, Henry Kuchel and others. Mr. Cahen sang a French song full of melody and effect. Max Nebelung favored the company with "Die Wacht Am Rhine," Herman Stern sang a topical song and Herman Dickel sang the "Star Spangled Banner," in which the guests at table joined with a will. Song and story occupied the time of the guests until a late hour, and toasts were pledged to Mr. Goldwater, Mr. Hartung, Mr. and Mrs. Cahen and Miss Melanie Cahen for their hospitable repast. In the wee sma' hours the company withdrew, having passed one of the most pleasant evenings in their Hleinigkeiten. The weather continues cloudy, and yesterday it looked like rain. Since the war bulletins ceased coming, we feel that we are out of it, to a great extent. What's mallah? Stling bloke? The Santa Fe section gang has been engaged for a week or two past in replacing old ties by new ones on the track between here and Orange. The Anaheim boys have formed a baseball club and will cross bats with the Placentias next Sunday on the Fullerton diamond. Don't fail to see Alex Henry as Admiral Dewey landing the first boatload of Americans at Manila, at the Red Cross entertainment tomorrow evening. The wife of J. H. Encarl presented him with a fine nine-pound baby boy at 6 o'clock yesterday morning. The young man will be named after Admiral Dewey. A force of fourteen men passed through town yesterday engaged in stringing two new copper wires for a new telephone circuit between Los Angeles and Corona. The rain will serve to bring out the apricot crop nicely. It will fill out the fruit and freshen up the trees. The rain is worth a mint of money to the deciduous fruit grower. A brick building will shortly be erected by F. Conrad on the site recently burned at Fullerton, and will be occupied by Billy McFadden with his poolroom, now in the Sansanina block. Sixty-five hundredths of an inch of rain fell on Saturday night and Sunday according to Mr. Dickel's rain gauge, making a total for the season of 5:32 inches. Last year to date we had 14:19 inches. The Santa Ana Standard has again changed hands, R. A. Dague having sold his interest to Herbert Crooks of that city. The paper will be continued under the same Democratic principles by the new proprietors, Honeywell & Crooks, as heretofore. The Directors of the Deciduous Fruit Association on Saturday let the contract for drying fruit to M. B. Fassett of Ontario. George Boyd will be in charge of the work, which will be done at the packing house near the Santa Fe depot here. The booming of cannon is a common occurrence hereabouts of late. Charley Foreman of the West End has ment will terminate with a social hop, and refreshments will be served by the ladies.

Miss Laura Roller was awarded the consolation prize. After the games refreshments were served. The next meeting will be held at the home of Miss Smythe. WESTMINSTER. The glorious rain which fell Saturday night and Sunday, left the roads a little muddy; but we welcome the rain; it is preferable to the dust. Gusto Barton and James Peters, who departed for Arizona on the first of May, have been heard from in New Mexico; both are well and at work. Full particulars not yet ascertained. F. F. Skelley, who is now at Phoenix, Arizona, has been wrestling with the grip, but was convalescent at last accounts. While S. P. Bates attended business in Fullerton and Anaheim on Monday, Mrs. Bates was happily surprised by a call of old time friends and schoolmates, J. W. Shattee and wife, of Boyle Heights, Los Angeles. They are now sojourning at Long Beach. They were perfectly enchanted with the wonderful sights of the Peat Lands. After driving five or six miles through our pasture lands, and arriving at Hermosa Vista Plaza, they began to form the idea that Orange county would not be a bad place to make a home and a comfortable living. After driving through the great celery region they were more than pleased with the prospects of prosperity. We encountered Wm. Casermann plowing near the roadside, turning under green barley three feet high, first having it — The Santa Ana Standard has again changed hands, R. A.

The proprietor of the well-known establishment, the Poor Man's Friend, at Santa Ana, having decided to retire from business, has concluded to dispose of the entire immense stock as quickly as possible. To do this it is necessary to offer special inducements to purchasers and these inducements in this case are two, viz.: Low prices and good goods. The entire stock, consisting of men's clothing and furnishings, shoes, valises, boys' suits, hats and caps, and in fact everything usually found in such an establishment, with much in addition not found elsewhere in the city. Call and see them as the sale is a bona fide clearing out sale, and prices are such as to suit everybody who want bargains. Don't forget the address, The Poor Man's Friend, next door to the postoffice, on Fourth street, Santa Ana. Driving Horse Wanted.

All of those who have not heretofore patronized the Santa Ana Steam Laundry to do so now. It will save you money and do better work than any other laundry. E. W. McCullom, Agent. Mrs. Bates was happily surprised by a call of old time friends and schoolmates, J. W. Shattee and wife, of Boyle Heights, Los Angeles. They are now sojourning at Long Beach. They were perfectly enchanted with the wonderful sights of the Peat Lands. After driving five or six miles through our pasture lands, and arriving at Hermosa Vista Plaza, they began to form the idea that Orange county would not be a bad place to make a home and a comfortable living. After driving through the great celery region they were more than pleased with the prospects of prosperity. We encountered Wm. Casermann plowing near the roadside, turning under green barley three feet high, first having it rolled down by two stout horses and a large roller, so that it could be easily turned under. Mr. Shattee thought it a crime to plow the barley under when hay is so dear; but Mr. Caserman assured him that it would pay better to thus moisten the ground and save irrigating the land for celery. Orange county has won fame this season on account of having good pasture and plenty of water. Although some of the wells on high land have failed to flow, yet when a pump has been set in the flow is sufficient in most, if not all, cases. Measles have been all the go of late, and happy to say, still on the go, for nearly all the patients are out again. Some of our most patriotic young men have gone off to the war, and left mothers, sisters and sweethearts to mourn their absence. The potato and corn crops look well. New potatoes are ready for the table and are of very fine flavor. A large acreage is now being cultivated in and around Westminster. Farmers are busy cutting hay and a much larger yield will be realized than was anticipated some weeks ago. However, the grain crop will not be so large on account of the drought. Westminster is showing her loyalty in flying national colors, both on business and private houses. Tuesday, May 17th. In the examination by the medical inspectors at San Francisco last week, before the final muster in, fourteen of the boys of Company L were rejected. This leaves the company with seventy-four members, who were mustered into service Tuesday of last week. The names of those rejected are as follows: Coodie Adams, Fred Currn, F. J. Cummings, L. K. Korse, G. S. Lamson, Myron Lash, John Nourse, Archie Park, C. A. Pressel, George Peabody, George Frick, Henry Peabody, C. G. Rowan, H. Robinson, H. Talbott. R. Wertz left the company before muster. The Orange county branch of the Republican league of Southern California organized at Santa Ana on Saturday with 52 charter members. The following officers were elected: C.E. Parker, president; W.H. Hill, vice president; G.S. Smith, secretary; H.Fairbanks, treasurer. The league will work in harmony with the Los Angeles branch and others throughout Southern California for the good of the party in the coming campaign. It will send a delegation to the Republican clubs' convention at Sacramento, May 31. The Tustin fruit association has organized and elected the following Directors for the ensuing year: D.H. Thomas, H.K.Knowl,P.T.Adams,U.S.Holderman and T.H.Smith.The growers decided to organize an association to be known as the Santa Ana Valley Walnut-growers' association,andR.H.Sanborn was elected temporary chairman of the meeting and J.D.Wilder secretary.The association adjourned to meet on Saturday,May 28for the purpose of perfecting the organization by adopting articles of incorporation and electing permanent officers. Over three hundred horses were driven into the mountains from the Anaheim district last week,the there to be turned loose to forage for themselves during the summer.[Anaheim Correspondence of a Los Angeles paper. Bosh! Not a horse has been "driver from Anaheim to the mountains" to be "turned loose to forage" for itself.A band of horses was some weeks ago shipped from the San Joaquin to Inyo county for pasture,a stated in these columns at the time,bbut the statement that horses have been turned into the mountains from this section "to forage for themselves" is too ridiculous funny to require further comment.

George is a truck driver of powerful build and athletic, and his friends are wondering why he didn't pass the exami-amination. Some reports have it that he had no "pull." George will be here in a few days, and will then be able to tell us all about it. —We are in receipt of rather an emphatic letter from the Buena Park baseball club, denying the statements made by "J. W. M." who wrote us a fortnight ago regarding the failure to bring about a game between the Fullertou high school nine and the Buena Parks. The letter concludes:—"We met their nine (the high school nine) on their own grounds and they refused to play us and they know it. We would like to meet the "baby" ball nine in your town, or any other and give them a little fun." —The Turners at their meeting on Saturday evening resolved to form a home guard, and will at their next meeting, to be held a week from Saturday evening, perfect the organization and be ready to offer their services to Gov. Budd, to be ready to be called upon for duty at any point within a reasonable radius. The Turners are patriotic to the core. Many speeches were made thrilling with patriotism, and allegiance pledged the old flag. All those desireing to inform themselves about the Turners' Home Guard should consult with Cap. Schumacher or any other of the well known members of Turners' organization. —County Auditor Hall has received from Tax Collector Freeman the balance sheet showing the amount of taxes delinquent on the 1897 assessment. The following comparison shows how the taxes have been paid this year: Taxes delinquent ... $2348 61 $4918 04 $4107 87 5-per-cent penalty ... 117 43 245 89 203 40 Total amount due... $2466 04 $5163 93 $4313 27 The amount of delinquent taxes is considerably less than that of last year.

Mr. Westerfield, the typo, who has been in town for several months past, departs on Saturday for Long Beach, where he goes to accept a position on Br. Bourlain's paper. W. E.

August informs us the sugar factory at that place is rapidly nearing completion and that the town has fifty houses in it where six months ago there was nothing. Pearl McCullough, the adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William McCullough, of Garden Grove, died after appendicitis at her home at that place on the 7th, and the remains were interred on the 8th in the Alamitos cemetery. She was a native of Iowa, and was aged 12 years. J. Ross Clark of the Alamitos sugar factory was seen at the Southern Pacific depot on Tuesday afternoon, or his way from Alamitos to Los Angeles and stated that about 700 acres of beer have acquired a good stand, and that the factory would have considerable report to the contrary. The recent rains have helped the beets wonderfully, and many acres are looking greatly freshed by reason of the copious downpour. Wm Crowther was in from his ranch on Placentia avenue a few days ago and informed us the walnut crop promise to be the largest in years, the trees being literally loaded with nuts.

The contract blanks are now being printed, and will in a day or two be in the hands of the committee, who will be ready to contract for all the first-class fruit in this section. The Executive Committee has received a new offer from F. Conrad, offering in writing to erect a frame building near his brewery, and to lease it to the cannery at the rate of $100 per year; also to furnish the cannery with all the water needed at cost of pumping, and offering an acre and a half for drying grounds. The committee is now considering the proposition, as well as that of the Germain packing house. One site is on the Santa Fe railway, the other on the Southern Pacific. — As Charley Federman was standing on the sidewalk in front of his store on Saturday evening at 10 o'clock the cries of a woman in distress near the Opera-house attracted his attention, and he went, in company of R. C. Mills, who was passing, to her assistance. The lady was found to be Mrs. Stickle, who had wandered off the road on her way home from Mrs. Baum's, and had struck the Santa Fe track at South street, walking toward town.

Three hundred horses were to the mountains from the district last week, there to be close to forage for themselves the summer.—[Anaheim Correction of a Los Angeles paper. Not a horse has been "driven him to the mountains" to be loose to forage" for itself. A horses was some weeks ago from the San Joaquin to Inyo or pasture, as stated in these at the time, but the statement does have been turned into the basis from this section "to forage ourselves" is too ridiculously require further comment. Santa Ana is having trouble in disposing of its $60,000 bond issue, voted some weeks ago to construct a sewer system. The prospective buyers (Boston people) have informed the town council that their attorneys have failed to advise them that the bonds are perfectly legal, and suggest that six weeks' further time be given them to examine into the question of their legality. The request was granted, but it is feared the bonds will prove unsalable, and that another election will have to be called to vote on the question again. The trouble seems to be in the action of the last Legislature in repealing an amendment to the statute governing bond issues, and not designating it by the correct number, thus repealing the wrong amendment, and permitting that sought to be repealed to stand. The bonds were prepared under the supposition that the amendment sought to be repealed had been stricken out, and that the amendment repealed had been permitted to stay; but on discovering the mistake, the statement was immediately given out that the bonds were illegal. The action of the Boston bond buyers would tend to confirm this view. W. W. Weaver's vehicle was demolished in front of Federman's store by a runaway on Thursday afternoon about 4 o'clock. Mr. Weaver's horse was hitched to the telephone post in front of the Postoffice when a runaway horse that had a moment before detached itself from a carriage in which the daughters of Mr. McClellan, who lives on the Sidney Holman place, were riding on Center street, near the Christian Church, came charging up that thoroughfare, and started to take the sidewalk at the Postoffice, plunging wildly between the telephone post and the horse tied to it. The horse attached to the rig became frightened at this, and the rattle of the hoofs of the other horse upon the sidewalk started it to run. It plunged madly upon the sidewalk, scattering a number of drummer's trunks standing near and breaking the glass in Federman's side door. At the corner it freed itself from harness and wagon, the harness falling in pieces, and the wagon sustaining a complete smashup, including the demolition of one of the rear wheels. One or two other incipient runaways were in progress in short order, but the fiery untamed steeds were quieted and the excitement was soon over. J. C.
