ALLIED FOR PROTECTION. How the Two Valley Water Companies Will Manage the Durkee Property at Rincon. At last week's meeting of the board of directors of the Anaheim Union Water company and of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company, in joint meeting assembled, do hereby recommend to the separate boards and representatives of their respective companies the following basis of agreement for unity of action in matters of their common property and undertakings: Resolved, That the Anaheim Union Water company and the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company, having allied themselves together for mutual protection and profit, do hereby further agree to share, and share alike, the burdens and benefits of such an alliance, and to allow each company an equal voice with the other in the management of their joint property and undertakings. Resolved, That to facilitate the transaction of the business of such joint property and undertakings, a Committee of Management shall be constituted in the following manner: The Board of Directors of each company shall elect by ballot at the next regular meeting, and thereafter at the organization of each new board, one of its number to serve on such committee. The term of service of each member shall be coextensive with the term of the board electing him, provided that each board shall have full power to remove its own representative and fill the vacancy resulting from that or any other cause. The action of this committee so constituted must be unanimous to be valid, and the compensation for each member shall be three dollars per day for time actually employed and all necessary expenses. Resolved, That the said Committee of Management so organized shall have the control and management of all joint property and undertakings of the said companies which shall hereafter be referred to said committee, and unless otherwise limited and instructed by the said companies, it shall have the following powers and duties, viz: To buy and sell personal property, supplies and products pertaining to the VOICE OF THE PRESS. MR. FAY AT CORONA. From the Corona Courier. W. J. Fay, President of the Anaheim Union Water Co., came up to Corona Sunday evening and inspected the property and plant of the Temescal, Water Co., Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, in company with Directors E. N. Currier, Frank Scoville and Jacob Stoner and Supt. Lilly of the Temescal Water Co. Mr. Fay has had a lifetime experience in the development of water and construction of water plants throughout different portions of the United States, and is a gentleman that fully understands what he is talking about. He and the directors went over the plant at Temescal very carefully, and as a result of his visit important changes for the good of the plant and benefit of the stockholders will, we trust, soon be inaugurated. Elsinore lake was also visited, and Mr. Fay gave it as his opinion that the company possessed a valuable property in Elsinore lake and one that could be made good use of in the future. They also continued their trip along the San Jacinto river to Dry lake near Lakeview and Mr. Fay and the directors saw nothing there to injure the water as it came down to the lake during flood times. The stockholders of the company certainly trust that Mr. Fay's experience in water matters and his opinion in matters pertaining to the operating of the machinery may be taken advantage of at the earliest opportunity and all the saving possible be made in the running expenses of the company. TRIED TO BUNCO FATHER CABALLERIA. From the San Bernardino Times-Index. The smoothest bunco game ever attempted in this city was frustrated by the police last Tuesday just in time to prevent Father Juan Caballeria from being buncoed out of $300 in cash. The work was that of an experienced hand and would do credit to the best of the kind. Three of the men who attempted to work the game are safe in the county jail, while the fourth will probably be captured before long. Sunday night two Italians, an old man and a young man, came to the home of Father Caballeria, with a small tin box, which they told him was full of money which they wished to leave not sold at 1 cent per pound had to carry over 1000 carlo following season. In 1898 or 3500 carlo loads, but with organ put up the price of unpacked 3 cents per pound, and sold... Reminded. Mrs. Lakeside: "I saw something today that called up a vague recollection of my first marriage." Mr. Lakeside: "Did you? What was it?" Mrs. Lakeside: "My first husband. I hadn't seen him for years." Reminded. Mrs. Lakeside: "The action of this committee so constituted must be unanimous to be valid, and the compensation for each member shall be three dollars per day for time actually employed and all necessary expenses. Resolved, That the said Committee of Management so organized shall have the control and management of all joint property and undertakings of the said companies which shall hereafter be referred to said committee, and unless otherwise limited and instructed by the said companies, it shall have the following powers and duties, viz: To buy and sell personal property, supplies and products pertaining to the said joint property or undertakings; to employ, direct and discharge superintendents, foremen and such other help as may be necessary in the management of said joint property and undertakings, and to fix the compensation for the same; to collect and disburse all moneys pertaining to said management, and deposit all funds coming into its hands in some safe bank, and pay all expenses and disbursements incurred by it by checks upon such bank and funds; said committee shall manage the water and water rights connected with any such joint property prior to the division of such water between said companies, and develop said water and water rights when so instructed by the directors of the said companies, and shall prosecute to a successful issue all other joint undertakings authorized by the said two companies. It shall be the duty of said committee to make a written report (in duplicate, one for each company) at the close of each quarter of the calendar year, of all its receipts and disbursements, a complete inventory of property in its charge (accounting for the disposal of any), of the work undertaken and accomplished during the quarter, of its stage of progress, and any other matters necessary to a full understanding of the conditions of the property and undertaking in charge of said committee. If at the end of any quarter there should be more funds in the hands of the committee than necessary for the management of the property or the transaction of the work undertaken, the net surplus shall be turned over to the said companies, one half to each; but if more money should be needed at any time to meet the necessary expenses of the management of said property and undertakings, then the committee shall draw on the companies for the amount required to meet the deficiency, one-half from each company. The said company shall require itemized bills for all claims allowed by it, and shall take and give receipts for all money transactions; shall hold its employees to a strict accountability; shall keep a record of all its proceedings, including an account of all its receipts and disbursements, and shall carefully preserve all such bills, receipts records and accounts open to the inspection of any member of either board of directors and of the expert board of directors and of the expert board of directors of the two companies in regard to any such joint property or undertaking.

Mrs. Lakeside: "My first husband. I hadn't seen him for years." Hans Andersen has a story of a buffalo that scorned the snow flakes. "Pouf," he snorted, "I can blow you away with a breath, what can you do to me?" But the flakes kept falling, falling, until the buffalo was almost buried, and the hunter slipped along the snow crust and made him an easy prey. There's another hunter who hunts to kill, who makes many a man his victim because of a folly like that of the buffalo in Andersen's fable. It's a little thing to have that uneasy feeling in the stomach after eating. Sour risings and belching are also reckoned little things. Yet these little things are among the minor marks of a disordered condition of the stomach and organs of nutrition and digestion. Of themselves they may not kill, but if despised they may open a pathway to some deadly disease. Don't neglect the first symptoms of indigestion or "stomach trouble." The timely use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery may avert a more serious danger. It will surely cure any disease of the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition, excepting cancer. Mr. Ned Nelson, the celebrated Irish comedian and mimic, of 577 Royden Street, Camden, N.J., writes: "We fulfilled an engagement of twelve weeks and the constant traveling gave me a bad touch of that dreaded disease called dyspepsia. I had tried everything possible to cure it, till last week while playing at B.P. Keith's Bijou Theater, Philadelphia in the Nelson Trio, a professional friend of mine advised me to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. I tried it, and, thank God, with good results." Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are a specific for billiousness. Walnuts. The Fullerton Walnut Growers' association has issued its report for the past season. The following is the number of pounds of each grade shipped: Softshell No. 1, 518,481; softshell No. 2, 14,471; hardshell No. 1, 93,671; hardshell No. 2, 3128; total pounds in all grades, 629,741. The expense of handling the walnuts per car, exclusive of sacks and including salaries, labor, rent, insurance, machinery, etc., was $45.43. The number of carloads shipped was 31.25, which were sold for $47,492.99. The growers were paid the following amounts per 100 pounds for the crop: Softshell, grade 1, $7.539; softshell, grade 2, $5.221; hardshell, grade 1, $7.0223; hardshell, grade 2, $4.29. Appreciated the Paper. A Western editor received the following unique letter: "Send me a few copies of the paper which had the obituary and verses about the death of my little child about a month or two ago. You will publish the enclosed clipping about my niece's marriage. I wish you would mention in your local columns, if it don't cost anything, that I am going to have a public sale and will rent part of my farm; also that I have a few extra calves to sell. Send me a couple of extra copies of the paper this week; but as my time is out you can stop my paper, as times are too hard to waste money on a newspaper."

For sale by After Halfa Century How Mrs Jewett was Cured after 50 Years of suffering. The Metuchen Inquirer, Metuchen, N.J. The following statement is made by the wife of Mr. J. E. Jewett, the well known religious publisher of 77 Bible House, New York City. Mr. Jewett’s pretty suburban home is at Metuchen, N.J., and Mrs. Jewett is a member of the First Reformed Church of Metuchen, and is highly esteemed in the community. She says: "I was taken with Rheumatism when I was twenty years old, and endured awful suffering from the disease for nearly fifty years. During that time I was treated by regular physicians, and consulted the best specialists in New York and Philadelphia, but found no permanent relief. The pain was all in my knee joints, and was at times almost unbearable. I was unable to go out of doors, and could only hobble about the house with a cane. I finally bought some of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and before I had used the first box I noticed an improvement. After I had taken two boxes I could walk without a cane, and went out of doors freely. Well, I continued using the pills and by the time I had taken thirty-six boxes I was entirely well, and suffered no pain at all." Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People expel impurities from the blood, and supply the material for rapidly rebuilding wasted nerve tissues. It has performed hundreds of almost miraculous cures in severe cases of Rheumatism, many times after doctors had given up hope. DR WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS FOR PALE PEOPLE REGISTERED DR.

As an illustration I may say that our crop of raisins in 1897 was 3250 carloads, and being without organization our prices dropped till in December unpacked raisins could not be sold at 1 cent per pound, and we had to carry over 1000 carloads into the following season. In 1898 our crop was 3500 carloads, but with organization we put up the price of unpacked raisins to 3 cents per pound, and sold the whole The Census and Irrigation The preliminary work of the census office in collecting data relative to the arid and sub-humid regions shows that during the past ten years vast areas have been reclaimed by irrigation, both by ditching from running streams and drilling for subterranean waters. Where only a few years ago the sage brush struggled for existence in the midst of a waste of alkali and sand, today are fields of waving grain and blossoming orange groves. Hundreds of miles of canals and ditches have been constructed; hundreds of wells have been sunk, and thousands of acres of land have been cultivated in zones JONES ON DECK. Introduces a Joint Resolution Relative to the Jamaica Treaty. In the Senate at Sacramento on Saturday afternoon Senator Jones introduced a joint resolution relative to the Jamaica treaty pending before the United States Senate which reads as follows: "Whereas, There is now pending in the Senate of the United States for ratification a so-called reciprocity treaty between this country and the British West India islands, known as the Jamaica treaty; and, whereas, the proposed reduction of duties upon importations from these islands that come into competition with the products of the United States, apply only to sugarcane products, citrus fruit and fresh vegetables, which are only produced in competing quantities by the States of Florida, Louisiana and California; and, whereas, the articles of export enumerated in said proposed treaty upon which a reduction of duty is obtained are neither produced nor exported from either of the said States of Florida, Louisiana and California, thereby entailing great loss to them without any corresponding benefits; and, whereas, the citrus products of this State, amounting to over five millions of boxes, which will be doubled within the next decade, is handicapped by a freight rate to the principal centers of population and trade of 90 cents per box, which exceeds by 15 cents per box the combined freight rate and the proposed import duty from the British West Indies; and, whereas, the citrus products of these islands come directly into competition with holiday trade, which is known to be the best of the entire year; and, whereas, the entire imports of the island of Jamaica have never exceeded $8,000,000 per annum, a large portion of which is imported from England, owing to a preferential tariff rate; and, whereas, at the request of this body and the petition of the citrus-fruit growers of the State, the Fifty-fifth Congress fixed a tariff duty upon that product, placing it on an equality with the foreign production in respect to the freight rate only; and whereas, the American producer is entitled to, and ought by right enjoy the benefit of his home market, when fully able to supply the demand; therefore, "Resolved. By the Senate of the State of California, and by the Assembly, jointly, that it depreciates the attempt to disturb the present existing conditions of the tariff upon sugar, citrus fruits and fresh vegetables; that it is an unequal and unjust hardship to sac- learned this fact: that it is not a low price in itself that will make a market for our products, but much more than it is the good will and active assistance of the trade that will secure customers for you. As an illustration I may say that our crop of raisins in 1897 was 3250 carloads, and being without organization our prices dropped till in December unpacked raisins could not be sold at 1 cent per pound, and we had to carry over 1000 carloads into the following season. In 1898 our crop was 3500 carloads, but with organization we put up the price of unpacked raisins to 3 cents per pound, and sold the whole crop, together with the 1000 carloads carried over. This year the crop is estimated at 2700 carloads of ten tons each, and with organization we have raised the price of unpacked raisins from last year's figure of 3c. to within a fraction of five cents a pound, or in two years from one cent to nearly five cents. At this price there have already been shipped out and paid for 2200 carloads; 150 cars of the remainder are sold on time orders and the remaining-350 cars under contract of sale and will be paid for by January 15th next, thus closing up the grower's business on a cash basis in four months from the beginning of harvest, and for the first time in the history of the industry. Mainly as a result of this success the saving banks report that the growers are rapidly paying off their mortgages; traveling men say Fresno, the center of the raisin district, is one of the most active business places in the State, and real estate agents say that the value of Fresno town property has increased 50 per cent in the last two years, with free sales, and that vineyards which two years ago could not be sold for $100 to $150 per acre, now finding purchasers at $275 to $375 per acre. I can assure you that the raisin growers, almost to a man, are now firmly convinced that their salvation is in combination. With combination we are able to put into practice the lessons Californians have been taught to "charge all the traffic will bear." With combination we can guarantee to the dealer that if he buys our product, he shall not lose, for we will hold up the market for him at all hazards. In this is the keynote of our success. With combination every grower is assured that he will get the average price of the season for his crop, and where is the grower who would not be willing to sell on these terms and thus be relieved of the worry and anxiety of trying to determine when he ought to sell. This is an era of trusts and combinations. The principle is sound and it is here to stay. By combination great economies are secured and the cost of producing and transferring commodities from the producer to the consumer is greatly lessened. To the fruit growers of California this principle will prove of untold value in the future. We have in this great State the garden spot of the world, where fruits of every kind can be grown in the greatest profusion and perfection. Our sole aim from now on should be to apply this principle of combination in all our affairs so as to secure the greatest economy in production and in placing our products on the markets of the world, while at the same time supplying fruit of the highest quality, put up in attractive packages and packed with absolute honesty. We may then hope that in addition to our splendid home market we will, with the opening of the Nicaragua canal, be called upon to send out hundreds of shiploads of fruit, and reach countless millions of people whose de The preliminary work of the census office in collecting data relative to the arid and sub-humid regions shows that during the past ten years vast areas have been reclaimed by irrigation, both by ditching from running streams and drilling for subterranean waters. Where only a few years ago the sage brush struggled for existence in the midst of a waste of alkali and sand, today are fields of waving grain and blossoming orange groves. Hundreds of miles of canals and ditches have been constructed; hundreds of wells have been sunk, and thousands of acres of land have been cultivated in zones where once the desolation of Sahara reigned. Moistened by fresh waters and fertilized by the rich silt of the swift mountain streams, once trackless wastes and desolate valleys in the arid Southwest, have become as fertile as the famous valley of the Nile, and send forth crops of endless variety and exceeding abundance. Irrigation is intensive farming. Where the water supply is ample, it is sure farming. There are no failures, and crops are enormous. The experienced irrigator is like the trained engineer with his hand on the lever. The movements of his hand regulate the amount of water supplied to his fields as those of the engineer control his engine. In most of the irrigable sections of the West, fertilizers have never been used, although the land has been constantly cultivated for over two centuries. In many sections fields may be seen which have yielded successive crops of wheat for forty years and show no diminution of productive strength. Wonderful progress is shown in the methods of constructing canals, dams, and pumping machinery, and in the manner of distributing water. Modern inventions in machinery have greatly lessened the time, labor and cost of construction and management and made possible many gigantic enterprises of land reclamation and water utilization. Mountains have been tunneled and whole rivers have been lifted from their beds and spread over the valleys precisely as wanted. High up in the ranges and on the elevated plateau immense storage reservoirs have been constructed to impound the flood waters of the streams so that the thirsty land below shall not suffer during the long rainless summer. As the successful solution of the problem of conservation of flood waters means the reclamation of millions of acres of public land, the people naturally ask the government to promote measures having this end in view. To this demand the government responds. Lands containing excellent reservoir sites have been set aside, and a thorough study of the sources and permanence of the water supply of arid regions has been made to enable Congress to legislate with intelligence upon this important subject. In aid of this work the twelfth census will endeavor comprehensively to show present condition and value of agriculture in the arid and subhumid regions; the length, irrigrable extent and cost of the various canals, wells and ditches; the character, volume and constancy of water supply; systems employed in distribution; amount paid for water and the crops, acreage and yield of irrigated farms. This effort will be successful if those interested in irrigation shall heartily cooperate with the census office and Resolved. By the Senate of the State of California, and by the Assembly, jointly, that it deprecates the attempt to disturb the present existing conditions of the tariff upon sugar, citrus fruits and fresh vegetables; that it is an unequal and unjust hardship to sacrifice the interests of a few for the benefit of a very large majority; that the supposed benefits accruing to this country in its added proportion of the $8,000,000 of trade with Jamaica will not compensate it for the loss inflicted upon one item alone of California production; that the California producer is entitled to a protective duty as against foreign competition; at least equal to the difference in their several freight rates; and that the American producer should be maintained in his demand for the markets of his own country; and be it further. Resolved. that our Senators be instructed to vote against the ratification of said treaty, and that our Representatives in Congress be requested to use their influence and best efforts to accomplish its defeat. Resolved. that a copy of these resolutions be telegraphed to the Hon. George C. Perkins by the secretary of the Senate, and that a copy be transmitted by mail to each of our Representatives in Washington." Senator Leavit moved that the resolution be referred to the Judiciary Committee. Senator Jones and Bulla urged immediate action. Senator Leavitt said if a resolution had been offered during the session which he favored, it was the one under consideration, but he did not believe in rushing matters. In the end the roll was called, and the resolution adopted by a unanimous vote. Senator Doty explained his vote by saying that while he was much of a protectionist, he believed in his California friends having their share while it was going around. "There's some hope for Senator Doty yet," and President pro tem Flint, and the business of the session proceeded. CASTORIA For Infants and Children. Railroad Building.

Let us not therefore as producers seek to destroy the principle of combination, but rather let us use the principle to enhance the value of our own products so that we can afford to pay an enhanced price for what we buy and have a margin left with which to improve and extend our industries. This I am convinced is the line of least resistance and the one that will yield the best results. We should, however, advocate and recommend to our law-makers a wise control and supervision of trusts and combinations to the end that we may preserve to our use all the advantages of combination, and at the same time protect the people from the gross abuse of the principle.

It not only cures croup, but when given as soon as the clumpy cough appears, will prevent the attack. In cases of whooping cough it liquefies the tough mucous, making it easier to expectorate, and lessens the severity and frequency of the paroxysms of coughing, thus depriving that disease of all dangerous consequences.

Again, the proposed route would avoid the climb over the Sierra Nevada mountains, on the Central Pacific line, which is costly and time-consuming. By filling in the gap between Mojave and Keeler, and utilizing the Virginia and Truckee and the Carson and Colorado railroads, the Southern Pacific will consummate a cut-off that will practically place the company on an equality with the Union Pacific's forthcoming line into Los Angeles. The request for a right of way between Mojave and Keeler indicates that any contemplated combination with the Rio Grande Western line has been abandoned. Many signs are abroad that in the next eighteen months Southern California will be the scene of considerable overland railway development. The Rio Grande Western's projected line is to connect with the road now running from Kramer, on the Santa Fe, east of Mojave, north of Johannesburg, in San Bernardino county, this State. Surveys being made west of Ogden, Utah, for the purpose of straightening and shortening the Central Pacific line between Elko, Nev., and Ogden are part and parcel of Huntington's plan to reduce the distance and time between Los Angeles and Ogden, in anticipation of one or two new lines to the East from Los Angeles by way of Salt Lake.

Otis of the Los Angeles Times pays his respects as follows to Orange county's legislators at Sacramento: "One of the surprises of the morning was the refusal of Senator T. J. Jones of Anaheim to keep his word to sign a pledge against Burns, and it is said that the aged citizen from Anaheim announced his purpose to vote for Mexican Dan. The Grant people had hard work to keep Jones in line last session, and his daughter, wife of Senator Nutt of San Diego county, was credited with most influence in that direction. Since his arrival here Jones has been claiming, in spite of his son-in-law's assertions to the contrary, that Grant was out of the race, and it is very likely that influences which are said to have been at work on him ever since his election to the Senate may have at last prevailed over the counsel of his friends and relatives. Efforts are being made to keep him out of the Burns camp by voting him for Bard, but, like Simpson of Pasadena, he may be pushed over the brink by unseen hands." "Assemblyman Chynoweth of Los Angeles and Orange counties, who is credited with a burning desire to be deputy district attorney some day in Los Angeles, for which reason, probably, he has set up a law office in the Bryson block, has told the Times correspondent he is for Burns. He puts it on the ground that he is here this time to see that there is no deadlock, and that the people of his county are not so averse to Burns as they were. He says the State Central Committee and the Orange County Central Committee, of which Blatherskite Linn Shaw is chairman, have declared for Burns, and that the farmers of his district don't know much about Burns. "Chynoweth, who prided himself on being the original Grant boomer in the southern part of the State, but who has always been a weak sister in legislative proceedings, assured the Times representative that, while the Grant men on the surface are friendly to other camps, they are really bitter in their hearts because the 'lightning rod men,' as they call other candidates, will give Grant no support." The San Francisco Examiner says of Senator Jones: The reformers who are opposing both Scott and Burns insist that Scott is playing into their hands in getting men away from Burns. They instance the case of Assemblyman Delancie of Butte, who was for Grant, but was supposed to be inclined toward Burns, but who has declared himself for Scott. The move to bring Bard up here also had in mind the keeping from Burns of four or five votes supposed to be inclined to shake into the Mexican's hand. These are Senator Jones and Currier and Assemblymen Greenwell, Chynoweth and Valentine. They were persuaded to join in the telegram to Bard summoning him to Sacramento, and in this way are supposed to be tied up to the Ventura millionaire and rescued from the grasping clutch of the Colonel. Then too, Assemblyman Cosper of Tulare signed, and he voted for Burns during the last ballots of the deadlock. Senator Jones is from Orange. He stuck to Grant during the deadlock, and it has been suspected that he was turned over to Burns when the bargain was made with Grant. He has been slow to declare himself at this session, refusing to sign the anti-Burns pledge. ADVERTISING. It Has Revolutionized Business and Benefited Humanity. Advertising is indeed one of the great developments of the age. It has revolutionized business and made it possible to accomplish in a few years what otherwise would have taken generations to compass. Today the advertiser, through the medium of the public press, can introduce his article to the entire public almost literally at a bound. Such a servant at the seller's elbow has naturally made business vastly different from what it was several hundred years ago. It is no longer necessary, as it was previous generations, to confine one's commercial transactions to a limited area. In fact, the manufacturer of today regards the world as his field, and there are quite a number of proprietary articles, widely and favorably known in every quarter of the civilized world, which have been introduced during the lifetime of their present proprietors, who are men only in the prime of life. Without advertising, by which it is possible to reach and influence hundreds of thousands of persons simultaneously, such a result could not be accomplished in several generations, if indeed it could be accomplished at all. Nor has this advertising benefited the seller only. It has brought to the knowledge of the buyer the hundreds of improvements and articles by which life can be made more pleasant, by which the health can be preserved, the palate gratified, the intellect fed and satisfied. It is no exaggeration to say that no force has conducted more to knit the world closely together nor made our mutual interdependence more apparent. "It is but the simple truth to assert," says a recent writer, "that the loss of the information which the advertisements furnish would be one of the greatest imaginable misfortunes to civilization."—Self Culture. A Good Shot. A local sportsman, who has the reputation of being a very bad shot, recently invited some of his friends to dine with him. Before dinner he showed them a target painted on the barn door, with a bullet in the bullseye. This he claimed to have shot at 1,000 yards' distance. As nobody believed him, he offered to bet the price of an oyster supper on it. On one of his guests accepting the wager, he produced two witnesses, whose veracity could not be questioned, to prove his assertion. As they both said that he had done what he claimed he won the bet. At dinner the loser of the wager asked how his host had managed to fire such an excellent shot. The host answered, "I shot the bullet at the door at a distance of 1,000 yards and then I painted the target around it."—Cincinnati Enquirer. Ground Floor Bedrooms.

He stuck to Grant during the deadlock, and it has been suspected that he was turned over to Burns when the bargain was made with Grant. He has been slow to declare himself at this session, refusing to sign the anti-Burns pledge, but declining to say openly that he would vote for the Mexican. Tonight he was placarded in the Sacramento Bee, which is violently anti-Burns, as one of the five votes which the Colonel has captured, the other four being Senator Trout of Santa Cruz and Assemblymen McDonald of Alameda, Huber of Los Angeles and Wade of Napa. The Ruling Passion. The clergyman had finished, and the organ was pealing forth the sonorous rapture of the Mendelssohn march. "One moment, George," said the radiant bride, and facing the audience she raised her exquisitely bound, though somewhat bulky, prayer book in her daintily gloved hands and pointed it directly at the brilliant audience. There was a sharp click. "All right, George," said the bride; "come along." And as they marched down the aisle she showed him that the supposed prayer book wasn't a prayer book at all. It was a camera. "It's my own idea, George," she whispered. "Clever, isn't it?"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Ground Floor Bedrooms. There is danger in the porous character of plaster ceilings, which are often very thin indeed. The ordinary ceiling is "only a porous diaphragm permeable by gases with considerable freedom." The viiated air of sitting rooms therefore frequently finds its way through into bedrooms. The British Medical Journal asks any skeptic to "compare his bodily and mental sensations after sleeping in such a room and in one situated over a similar room well ventilated and not occupied or illuminated by gas during the evening." The remedy, it says, is to have bedrooms on the ground floor and living, working and cooking rooms up stairs. But how about noise?—London Chronicle. Caught the General. One of the regular army officers tells a story of how the old stringent army regulations once went against General Scott. One wet afternoon that soldier was caught in the rain in Washington. He was in full uniform and was well known, so no cab being near, he borrowed an umbrella. Arriving at his hotel, an under officer approached him and calmly remarked: "General, you will consider yourself under arrest for eight days for carrying an umbrella while in full uniform." An Editor's Life Saved by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. During the early part of October, 1896, I contracted a bad cold which settled on my lungs and was neglected until I feared that consumption had appeared in an incipient state. I was constantly coughing and trying to expel something which I could not. I became alarmed and after giving the local doctor a trial bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and the result was immediate improvement, and after I had used three bottles my lungs were restored to their healthy state.—R.
