LOCAL NEWS POSIES. Bill M'Fadden Raises a Laugh at the Water Meeting. And How the Curious Coincidence Came About—The Water Company is Preparing to Place Overshoots and Waste Gates in Good Condition for a Wet Winter—Forty Homing Pigeons Liberated for a Flight to Los Angeles—Moses Remick's Wife Begins an Action Against Him for Alimony—Is the Del Campo Hotel Haunted?—How Mr. Bradbury of the Peat Came to Learn That His Team Ran Away—Frank Ey's Kid Skipping the Tra-la-loo in San Francisco—A. M. Williams Sustains Another Surgical Operation—What Ed Kraemer Says About Qualls, and How He Regards the New Game Ordinance. The Water Board met in regular session on Saturday afternoon; present, Directors Fay, Rea, Benchley, McFadden and Pierotti. Secretary Blennnerhassett read the following report of Supt. Sheppard for the month of September: The expense account, $600 85, of which $355 was for the regular employees. He continued as follows: "I find that the bulkhead or underpinning at the Bixby fill is rotten and should be replaced immediately by a concrete one; also the south bank of said fill should be raised. The expense would probably be $20. The lowering has been caused by sheep, and I suggest that it be wire-fenced to prevent any further difficulty. The bridge on Broadway, near walnut street, in Anaheim, should be replaced by vitrified pipe. I would also recommend that the west line of the company's land in Horseshoe Bend be established, as parties are claiming the adjoining land and are likely to trespass. I have sold old lumber to the amount of $11.65." Construction account, $122 47. The board discussed the Superintendent's report seriatim, and instructed that official to put the overshoot at the Bixby fill in good condition; also to put in a vitrified pipe at the Broadway street crossing. The chair was delegated authority to purchase a carload of 24 and 30-inch vitrified pipe. Mr. McFadden, being in a humorous mood, submitted the following ironical resolution: WHENAS, The Plain Dealer, a paper published in Anaheim, advocates the division of the water company, and that one company be composed of Anaheim, with its main and branch ditches, and the old Cajon ditch with its branches compose the other company; be it Resolved, That the Anaheim Union Water Company take immediate steps to act upon the above suggestion, and on behalf of many stockholders north of the sandwash, I promise to assume all the outstanding are improving. Light rains in some sections benefited growing crops. Grape crop light. San Bernardino Co.—Cool weather with light showers. Orange crop will not be as large as estimated. Orange Co.—Very light rain, but water for irrigation is increasing. Hot weather damaged walnuts. Riverside Co.—Cool and clear. No rain. Fruit drying retarded by fogs. Oranges maturing satisfactorily. San Diego Co.—Light rains caused little or no damage. Raisin drying retarded by cool cloudy weather. Oranges are growing finely. Bartlett pears and apples not as good as last year. Los Angeles summary.—Beneficial rains fell in northern sections; light elsewhere. No harm to drying fruit, but cold, cloudy weather unfavorable. Walnuts being gathered. Raisin making well advanced. TURN FEST. Anaheim Turn Verein Making Preparations to Entertain their Guests on Sunday. The annual Turn Fest of the Southern California Turn Bezirk, composed of the Los Angeles, San Diego and Anaheim Turn Vereins, meets in this city on Sunday next, and the members of the local Turn Verein are making extensive preparations for the entertainment of their guests. The Los Angeles turners will arrive on the Southern Pacific morning train at 9:45 and will be met by the local turners, with the city band, and escorted to the Santa Fe depot, where the San Diego delegation arrives at 10:25. The march will be taken up to the Columbia Garden, where the exercises will take place during the day. The afternoon will be devoted to competitive tests of skill, together with singing and dancing. Twenty-seven valuable prizes will be awarded the successful contests in horizontal bar work, jumping, putting the shot, and other exercises, and there will also be prizes for ladies in club exercise. The program for the day will be as follows: Reception of guests at the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe depots. March to the grounds of the Columbia garden. Address by the first speaker of the Anaheim Turn Verein. Grand dinner in the Columbia garden. Prize turning of all turn societies. Prize singing of the different singing sections. Grand concert in the pavilion until supper-time. Distribution of prizes, and ball. The city band will discourse music during the afternoon and evening, and the local Turn Verein are looking forward to a very enjoyable time. The Los Angeles Turners return home on a special train after the festivities, and the San Diego turners return home on the following day. Hleinigkeiten. School begins a week from next Monday. The St. Michaels guild will meet this (Thursday) afternoon at the residence of Mrs. Fay. The Democrats held a meeting at Buena Park on Tuesday evening. All the Democratic county candidates were present and made addresses. Wm. Schwenckert is in the middle of his wine-making season. He has ten men employed, and informs us the grapes are turning out well. The next Republican meeting will be held in Anaheim on the evening of Saturday, October 15th, when the county candidates will be present. The joke of the campaign is the announcement of the candidature of Peter Huff of Fullerton for Supervisor. That is the joke of the season; ain't it, Peter? The nights have taken on their autumn temperature, and there is a chilliness in the atmosphere that is in agreeable contrast to the prolonged warm spell. A small house belonging to Mr. Harper of Fullerton was moved over to this city on Tuesday morning. It has been placed on a lot in the Eastern addition. The time of the departure of the Southern Pacific train over the Ogden route from Los Angeles to Chicago and other points East has been changed from 11:50 each day to 12:30. There will be a Republican meeting at Fullerton next-Saturday evening, the 8th. Good speaking and all the candidates will be present. Everybody turn out. The county campaign was inaugurated at Tustin on Tuesday evening, when the Republican candidates appeared before a large and enthusiastic assemblage of voters. Frisch, Frei, Stark, Treu! Also Gut Heil, not to say Bahn Freil! The citizens of Anaheim extend a cordial welcome to the San Diego and Los Angeles Turners who will be with us on Sunday next at the annual Turn Fest. Announcement is made of the approaching marriage of Charles G. Huff and Miss Lulu Howe, both popular young society people of Santa Ana. The marriage will be celebrated Oct. 11, after which Mr. and Mrs. Huff will leave for an extended eastern trip. A social will be given at the Plaza centia school building on Saturday evening next, to celebrate the completion of the structure. A general invitation is extended the patrons of the school to be in attendance and participate in the house-warning. that official to put the overshoot at the Bixby fill in good condition; also to put in a vitrified pipe at the Broadway street crossing. The chair was delegated authority to purchase a carload of 24 and 30-inch vitrified pipe. Mr. McFadden, being in a humorous mood, submitted the following ironical resolution: WEREAS. The Plain Dealer, a paper published in Anaheim, advocates the division of the water company, and that one company be composed of Anaheim, with its main and branch ditches, and the old Cajon ditch with its branches compose the other company; be it Resolved. That the Anaheim Union Water Company make immediate steps to act upon the above suggestion, and on behalf of many stockholders north of the sandwash, I promise to assume all the outstanding bonds of the company, amounting to $150,000, and pay $50,000 cash in addition, in order that this valuable suggestion of the Plain Dealer be carried out. Shouts of laughter greeted the reading of the resolution, and humorous references were made concerning it, the chair observing that evidently McFadden had been seen by the Plain Dealer outfit, with an anterior prospect in view. More smiles. Mr. Benchley stated, when the board resumed the discussion of business, that he had the name of a capitalist who was ready to construct both the La Habra and Yorba reservoirs, when the company was ready to go ahead with the work, taking his pay in second mortgage bonds of the company. Upon the question of assessments Mr. Pierotti was of opinion that reasonable assessments should be levied every year to pay off the indebtedness, making improvements, pay running expenses and so forth. Mr. Fay said it would in the near future become necessary to levy an assessment to pay off $25,000 of the company's indebtedness, which becomes due in July next. The next payment on the outstanding bonds will fall due five years thereafter. A general discussion followed as to whether one assessment of $3, or three of $1, were the better course to be followed, the consensus of opinion being in favor of the former policy. Twenty-five thousand dollars of the company's outstanding indebtedness will be taken up in July, and the assessment will be levied in time to meet the obligations. The credit of the company remains excellent, and several considerable amounts have recently been offered it at a low rate of interest. The Superintendent was instructed to report upon the condition of all water gates at the next meeting, with a view to putting them all in good repair for the coming winter, which all hands concede will be a wet one. Mr. Pierotti said that sometime in April or May the board had recommended the cementing of 150 feet of ditch at the Porter place in Orange-thorpe avenue, together with a brea pipe at the crossing. The work had not been done, having evidently been overlooked. The chair stated that the attention of the Superintendent would be called to the matter, with instructions to do the work immediately. The board went into a short executive session, and soon thereafter adjourned. A Runaway. J.F. Bradbury drove in from Westminster yesterday morning in a two-horse farm wagon with a load of potatoes. He tied his team to a hitching post in front of Stern's, and wended his way down the street to see the sights. A moment later the broom rack, in which are displayed brooms upon the sidewalk, toppled over, frightening the horses so that they broke the strap tying them and started to run away. They galloned down Center March to the grounds of the Columbia bia garden. Address by the first speaker of the Anaheim Turn Verein. Grand dinner in the Columbia garden.

On Tuesday morning's express two cages of homing pigeons belonging to the Los Angeles City Flying Club arrived, consigned to Herman Dickel, to be released for the purpose of flying on their return trip home. The birds were beautiful specimens of their species, and as soon as released rose up in the air and circulated about, preparatory to getting their bearings. They were released at 9:54, and in six minutes a flock of about twenty which had been released from the first cage after circling about, mounting higher and higher in the sky, set out on a bee-line for Los Angeles. The others, which were released immediately after the first birds were liberated, circled about, and were some six minutes later than the others in getting away. On Monday morning Mr. Dickel received the following letter from the secretary of the flying club in reference to the birds: 1111 S. MAIN ST., LOS ANGELES, CAL., Oct. 1, 1898. Wells, Fargo's Agent, Anaheim, Cal.-DEAR SIR: The Los Angeles Flying Club will send a number of their homing pigeons to Anaheim on October 4th, and would be favored if you will act as librator. They will be shipped on a morning train, accompanied with full directions. If you can do so, let me know by enclosed post, and oblige, STEPHEN V. CHILDS, Race Secretary. On Tuesday morning the following letter accompanied the birds: 1111 S. MAIN ST., LOS ANGELES, CAL., Oct. 2, 1898. Announcement is made of the approaching marriage of Charles G. Huff and Miss Lulu Howe, both popular young society people of Santa Ana. The marriage will be celebrated Oct. 11. after which Mr. and Mrs. Huff will leave for an extended eastern trip. A social will be given at the Placecia school building on Saturday evening next, to celebrate the completion of the structure. A general invitation is extended the patrons of the school to be in attendance and participate in the house-warning. Our old friend, Theo. Lacy, Democratic candidate for Sheriff, has made a ten-strike in potatoes, as we see by the Santa Ana Standard. Theo. harvested 1000 sacks of the tubers from 12 acres in the Peat Lands. As potatoes are potatoes this season, Theo.'s friends will be glad to learn that he is doing well in that line. The many friends of F.G. Ryan will regret to hear that he has been lying dangerously ill at his home in Santa Monica with dropsy. Reports have been current for his recovery, but his friends will indulge the hope that he may yet be restored to his usual robust health. Complaints are made that hay thieves are abroad in the land. One citizen reports the loss of five cocks of hay from his field within the city limits some time during Tuesday night. Warning is given that a charge of bird shot fired from an approved style of shotgun may be the reward of these pilferers. The School Trustees have ordered by telegraph, through Fred Backs, agent for O.C. Clark & Co. of Cleveland, Ohio, a 240-pound bell, 28 inches in diameter, costing about $55 50 delivered here, for use in the tower at the Central schoolhouse. The Trustees are also negotiating for the purchase of an organ. School begins on Monday, October 17th. The Fusionists have selected Chas. E. Taylor, a teacher in the Santa Ana high school, for their nominee for County Superintendent of Schools. At a meeting of the Populist Central Committee at Santa Ana last Saturday Mr. Evans' declination to run was accepted, and Mr. Taylor was selected to stand in his stead. Judge Charles Yost of Los Alamitos passed through town yesterday on his way to Colton, where he has traded property for his Alamitos possessions and will in future reside. Mr.Yost has resigned as Justice of the Peace at Alamitos, and on Tuesday when the Supervisors acted upon case,a petition was submitted asking that Geo.H Shaw be appointed to the vacancy. Mr.Yost is a good citizen,and his many friends hereabout will regret to learn of his departure. Patterson Bowers, father of ex-County Recorder W.W.

J. F. Bradbury drove in from Westminster yesterday morning in a two-horse farm wagon with a load of potatoes. He tied his team to a hitching post in front of Stern's, and wended his way down the street to see the sights. A moment later the broom rack, in which are displayed brooms upon the sidewalk, toppled over, frightening the horses so that they broke the strap tying them and they started to run away. They galloped down Center street, making a great noise as the wagon rumbled over the thoroughfare, and a large crowd of town's people gathered to witness the excitement. At the Opera-house Sprinkler Fossek had just driven up to fill his sprinkler from the hydrant. He saw the runaway, and ran to meet them, seeing that great danger of a collision threatened him. The runaway horses were winded, and were not running very fast, when Fossek stayed their mad career. No smash-up resulted, and Joe Gibson climbed into the wagon and drove the horses back to the hitching post and tied them. Shortly after Mr. Bradbury returned up Center street, and in front of Mills & Twomey's establishment Mr. Mills accosted him saying that his team had run away, but luckily did no damage to themselves, their vehicle or the many other vehicles with which the street was lined at the time. Mr. Bradbury seeing the team tied in its place, was rather reluctant to believe it, but when he reads this item he will learn that what Mills told him was no joke. —Bullguts from the climate and crop service of the weather bureau, for the week ending Sept. 30: San Luis Obispo Co.—Fruit and bean crop in good condition. No damage from rain, and more is needed. Santa Barbara Co.—In the Santa Inez valley 2:25 inches of rain thoroughly soaked the ground and greatly benefited pasturage. Plowing has commenced. Ventura Co.—No damage to walnuts by rain, and beans were but slightly injured. Los Angeles Co.—Walnuts badly injured by the heat. Orange prospectors 1111 S. MAIN ST., LOS ANGELES, CAL., Oct. 1, 1898. Wells, Fargo's Agent, Anaheim, Cal. DEAR SIR: The Los Angeles Flying Club will send a number of their homing pigeons to Anaheim on October 4th, and would be favored if you will act as librator. They will be shipped on a morning train, accompanied with full directions. If you can do so, let me know by enclosed post, and oblige, STEPHEN V. CHILDS, Race Secretary. On Tuesday morning the following letter accompanied the birds: 1111 S. MAIN ST., LOS ANGELES, CAL., Oct. 1, 1898. Wells, Fargo's Agent, Anaheim, Cal. DEAR SIR: Will you kindly liberate the pigeons by taking top covers off baskets? Then fill out enclosed postal, giving conditions of atmosphere, direction of wind and time of liberation. Liberate as soon as convenient after arrival of train. Don't liberate under wires, but in an open space, and oblige, yours truly, STEPHEN V. CHILDS, Race Secretary. The birds were taken into the vacant lot north of Dickel's store and liberated. The opinion was that the birds, which were young flyers, would reach their home in about 20 minutes. The crates containing the birds were immediately returned to Los Angeles, and a letter forwarded stating that the flyers had been liberated at 9:54, wind southwest and weather clear. The atmosphere was in an ideal condition for a good test, and in all probability the birds reached their home before many who had gathered to witness their flight had time to go to the Postoffice and get their morning mail. $50 Reward. The undersigned will pay a reward of $50 for the arrest and conviction of the party who poisoned his dog on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 1, 1898. F. A. KORN. $3 Excursion to San Diego.

Bowers, died at the home of his sister in Azusa on Saturday afternoon. Mr. Bowers was one of the pioneers of Orange county and was in the seventy-fourth year of his age. He lived many years near Orange, where he was well known and highly respected. The remains were brought by train to Orange on Monday morning, and were met by a large number of friends and relatives and taken for interment to the Santa Ana cemetery. Ed. Schultz, formerly a resident of this city, was married in San Diego some days ago to Miss Emma Almgren, a well-known young lady of that city. The ceremony, which was performed at the residence of Rev. A. E. Knapp, the officiating clergyman, was a quiet affair, and was witnessed by only the immediate relatives of the contracting parties. The company afterward repaired to the home of the bride, where an elegant wedding supper was served. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Almgren, and has a host of friends. The groom is cashier in the Bay City meat market, and is popular with his many friends. The happy young couple will continue to reside at San Diego. Ed. Kraemer is one of the mighty nimrods of Orange county. Ed. has been out shooting quail, during the five days in which the season has been open in Orange county (the season closed last Tuesday night), and says that up the Soquel canyon and on the Chino ranch the hillsides were black with the birds. Coming home down the canyon on Monday afternoon, he espied a covey of quails under some brush, and "bang," "bang" went his gun, and he gathered up six. He once killed 28 at one shot up in the hills north of Escondido, where we ourselves killed 23 at one shot some years ago. Ed. is down on the Orange county game ordinance, which only lasted five days, while the open season for quail in San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties lasts five months. Go to the head of the Cajon ditch, and you are in San Bernardino county; he says; go down to the Sansenina ranch, and one gets into Los Angeles county; and sportsmen on the other side of the line are having great sport bagging birds, He begins a week from next Michaels guild will meet (May) afternoon at the resi-Fay.

The Great Register of Orange county shows that Anaheim precinct contained at the election of two years ago 355 voters. The registration this year shows 114 new names; total for the precinct, 469. Some of the names upon the old register have probably been cancelled, but the total will show that Anaheim has kept up with the process. We show a good healthy gain. Matthew Hugo, a brother of Nick Hugo, came down from Los Angeles on Monday on a short furlough from the Seventh Regiment, he being a member of Co. F of Los Angeles, attached to that regiment. Matthew has been on the sick list, and is putting in his convalescent days visiting with his folks at home. The various councils of the Fraternal Aid Association will celebrate on Friday next, at Orange, the ninth anniversary of the organization of the association. It is expected that a special train will be run around the kite-shaped track, leaving Santa Ana early in the morning and arriving, by way of San Bernardino, at 10 a.m., and leaving on return trip at 5 p.m. The day will be celebrated by the rendition of a program of music, addresses and recitations, and a grand basket picnic. Members attending are requested to bring lunch, but no dishes. Constable Bittner on Saturday served papers upon Moses A. Remick in a suit brought against him by his wife, Jennie S. Remick, who lives at Pasadena, and who sues for $300 alimony. Mrs. Remick alleges in her complaint that Remick is comfortably situated as to this world's goods, enumerates a number of city lots owned by him in town, says he sold his walnuts for $150, and receives a pension of $24 per month. Remick has not lived with his wife for upwards of a year, and she has hitherto attempted unsuccessfully to obtain alimony from him, and he once had her arrested for perjury.

Byers accosted our reporter on Monday morning and stated that he was desirious of having inserted in this journal an advertisement setting forth the fact that he had lost his pocketknife, which had been made for him in Cleveland. O. The notebook and pencil were produced, but before the reporter could make a note of the fact, Charley Neipp, who is taking a short vacation on account of a dislocated collarbone, happening to be present telling the reporter how it feels to have a bone dislocated, observed that he knew where the knife was. It was in the possession of Dr. Johnston, said Byers having left it at the Doctor's office some days previously while putting in an electric-button. The Doctor had used the knife that morning in severing one of the strings about Charley's bandage, remarking that it was Byers' knife, and had been inadvertently left by that gentleman in his office some days before. Byers was at once impressed with the efficacy of advertising. He set up the cigars, soon recovered his knife, and is now getting along as if nothing had happened. George Heffner informs us that he is of firm conviction that the Del Campo hotel building is haunted. He occupies rooms with his wife and child in the north corridor, upon the second floor, and one night recently was town on Tuesday examining the Citizen's bank, which he pronounced to be in superb condition financially and ably managed. Mrs. Dr.J.M. Staehelli has on exhibition at Ferd. Backs' furniture store some specimens of crayon photograph work, which reflect credit upon her skill as an artist. Mrs.Geo.Bauer returned from Salton last Sunday morning. She reports having had a delightful time, though it was a little uncomfortable on account of the warm weather, the mercury going up as high as 130. Joseph Nichols was over from Santa Ana on Thursday shaking hands with his numerous friends hereabout. The indications are that Joseph's vote for Sheriff in these latitudes at the election next month will be particularly complimentary. Carl Raab was in town on Tuesday. He is convalescing from a three weeks' attack of malarial fever, which kept him in bed at Pasadena that length of time. Carl looks a little pale, but will probably soon be all right again. Mrs.Mottram and her niece, Miss Freeland, returned last Saturday from their sojourn at Newport Beach, where they had been residing for the benefit of Miss Freeland's health for some weeks past. Miss Freeland's many friends will be glad to learn that she is rapidly recovering. Edmond Cahen entertained a number of his young friends at a party on Saturday afternoon in honor of his thirteenth birthday. A very happy afternoon was spent by the youngsters in playing various games. A bountiful repast was served, after which the guests dispersed, wishing Master Edmond many happy returns of the day. Mrs.Hanna informs us that her son Harry has written from Honolulu saying that he has accepted a position with a carriage house as salesman and will probably remain indefinitely. Harry has written for his bike so as to ride around and see all the pretty Honolulu ladies. Secretary Whidden of the Santiago Walnut-Growers' Association reports that the damage to the walnut crop caused by lack of irrigating water and hot weather is much larger than at first estimated. Soft shells have suffered most, and the shells of the hard shells are much lighter than formerly, which will make a difference from ten to fifteen pounds in the weight of a sack of walnuts. Frank Ey drove over from Santa Ana on Tuesday afternoon. He reports two bad holes in small bridges on this side of the river, into one of which his horse came near stepping. He informs us that all travelers over the road eschew the new bridge over the river, on account of the bad condition of the approach leading up to it, and taking the old road through the riverbed instead. When carriages have heavy loads, all hands get out and walk across the riverbed, rather than tackle the dustry road leading to the new bridge. Frank's young son is seeing the sights in San Francisco. He has been sent three remittances, and still does not say when he is coming home. Frank's boy is a great kid. A.M.Williams returned last week to his home in this city after an absence of a fortnight in the Los Angeles hospital, where he underwent a surgical operation for the removal of the nerves of his right arm, the hand of which he horticulturist of the Peat Land section was in the city on Tuesday. Mr.Hilden brandt is one of the solid farmers on Orange county, and says that while we have had a pretty hard year, we are getting through the tight times all right. There is not in the State o California so green and inviting a prospect as the country about the Peat Lands, which is green and luxuriant. W.G.Johnson was over from Fullerton on Monday evening, bringing ther intelligence that the Saxta Fe pumping oil from nine oil wells in Soquel canyon, and that last week Liveryman Jennings had team teams, with forty-three horses, engaged in hauling the oil from the wells to Richfield, a distance of 44 miles. The railroad company contemplates putting in a pipe line to conduct the oil from the wells to Richfield similar to that at Puente piping oil to the Chino sugar factory. Tim Carroll has returned from two-weeks' trip to the northern part ofthe State, during which time he visited Watsonville, Alvarado San Francisco and other city cities. He reports a fine crop of beets at Alvarado where they have been raising beets for past twenty-five years. He says prospects for introducing his bee dump at the sugar factories at this place and at Watsonville are excellent. He found the central portion ofthe State dry, and reports all irrigation operations about Bakersfield at standstill. Orange county he promises the greenerest spot encountered on his travels, Tim is therefore glad to be home again.

H. Bowers, died of his sister in Azusa on eternoon. Mr. Bowers was pioneers of Orange county and relatives and taken to the Santa Ana cemeum, formerly a resident of San Diego to Miss Emma Almgren, a young lady of that city, which was performed of Rev.

Byers was at once impressed with the efficacy of advertising. He set up the cigars, soon recovered his knife, and is now getting along as if nothing had happened. George Heffner informs us that he is of the firm conviction that the Del Campo hotel building is haunted. He occupies rooms with his wife and child in the north corridor, upon the second floor, and one night recently was awakened by his wife calling his attention to mysterious sounds coming from the adjoining room. The noise sounded as if made by the striking of a frying-pan against some blunt instrument. He quieted his wife's fears, saying it was nothing, but a night or two afterward, while the lady was ironing in the evening, the stove-lids began rattling in their places, much to her astonishment and concern. George pulled the stove out from its place to see that no one was playing pranks upon them by means of wires inserted from beneath, but found nothing that would furnish a clue to the mysterious goings-on. Some evenings later, while Mrs. Heffner was again ironing, at about 6:30 o'clock, while her husband was down town, the stove-lides began rattling in such a mysterious manner that she picked up her baby and fled from the room, awaiting her husband's coming upon the lower stairway, where he found her considerably agitated and weeping shortly after. George says he does not believe in ghosts, but some people think the mysterious noises are attributable to the fact that one or two persons have died in the hotel, and they say their spirits may have come back to see how things were getting on. Silver Club Meeting, The Silver Club will meet on Saturday evening, October 8th, at 8 o'clock. Dr. J. S. Gardiner will address the club on political topics, and it is expected a number of the Democratic candidates will be present. Wm. F.

Plerce, Anaheim. A. M. Williams returned last week to his home in this city after an absense of a fortnight in the Los Angeles hospital, where he underwent a surgical operation for the removal of the nerves of his right arm, the hand of which he accidentally shot away a year and two days previously—on Sept. 24th of last year. The arm had latterly been giving him considerable pain and had swollen at the point of amputation as large as one's fist. Dr. Wells, who performed the original operation, was successful in taking out the nerves, and the arm now seems to be well on the way to recovery. A curious incident connected with the case is that Williams has all along felt the amputated hand in place at the end of the arm, but now that the nerves have been removed it is thought this feeling will disappear. G. W. Sherwood, Republican candidate for county surveyor, is arranging his business affairs so as to be able to make a complete canvass of the county. He has been too busy to make a thorough canvass and his tastes do not lie in that direction. However, it is not absolutely necessary that a man should be an eloquent speaker or fluent in conversation to make a good surveyor. If he is thoroughly competent in the line of his profession and at the same time upright in character, these are better qualifications, as the Orange Post truly says, than a glib tongue. There is no question as to Mr. Sherwood's fitness to fill the position to which he aspires to the satisfaction and profit of the county and with honor to himself. He should receive the undivided support of his party. E. W. McCollum, dealer in bicycles and bicycle supplies. New and second-hand wheels for sale.
