Our young friend Max Nebelung, City Clerk of this city, is rapidly becoming famous. He has for years been known as the Pooh-Bah of the community. He at one time held, and still holds, more offices, we believe, than any man in the county. Thus we find him at one time holding the offices of (1) City Clerk, (2) ex-officio City Assessor, (3) director of the water company, (4) clerk of the irrigation district, (5) assessor of the same corporation, (6) member of the school board, (7) clerk of the same; as well as numerous other offices of public trust and ornamentation. He holds and has held so many offices that at times he finds it quite impossible to tell the truth. Now he finds himself confronted with a Lie, which in his calmer moods must bite him like a serpent and sting him like two adders. It seems that the City Clerk went over to the office of our esteemed contemporary, the Fowlerette, and offered it, if the story published by that journal be true, the printing of the election ballots; which, in view of the fact that it has the contract for doing the city printing, was not so far out of the way; but which, according to the story, the Clerk averred had heretofore been done in Los Angeles or San Francisco, because they could not be printed here, nor had they ever been, said he. Instead of the editor of the Fowlerette working himself into a frenzy over our statement that we had printed the ballots for many municipal elections, and instead of becoming livid with rage and wildly exclaiming, tearing his hair the while, "Who lies?" could not the Fowlerette have told at a glance whether his office could have printed these ballots or not? Doesn't material to the city at precisely what it costs the municipality to get it from out-of-town firms. We have also furnished this material to the county by competitive bid against the other printing establishments of the county. The material for one precinct amounts we believe this year to $3.50. Instead of working itself into a white-heated, not to say a white-livered, paroxysm of ground and lofty tumbling over Nebelung's statement, a moment's investigation would have shown its inaccuracy and untruthfulness. As to Nebelung, his besetting sin is that he is the prince of straddlers. He is all things to all men. He blows hot and he blows cold. The last man at his ear gets him every time. We have known him for years, and we know this to be his cardinal, besetting sin. But we are disposed to deal charitably with him; and attribute to the multifarious duties of his many offices the fact that he has not time to take an occasional hour off and get acquainted with the good taste of speaking truthfully. People have come to Anaheim looking for the City Clerk, and have been informed he was out on his ranch, or that he was buying walnuts for men who sought to disrupt the local growers' association, or that he was shipping pampas plumes, or attending to the duties of this one or that one of his many offices. He has not been at his post of duty when wanted. It has come to be a byword that an appointment must be made with him before he can be located in his office to transact the business of the position. To our knowledge he has said at each occurring election for six years past, that he wanted the office "only once more." But as sure as election day rolls round he bobs up serenely again. And here we have him with us again, the same prince of straddlers as of yore, telling a lie here, and telling a lie there, to ease up the progress of his trekking. For upward of a year pass have been ding-donged with lamentations arising from Fowler [535] and his gam landers that taxes in this city high; that property is taxed than its market value, and no rot. Of course, no attention been paid to the wailing Chief Uitlander because he is in Anaheim and vicinity is well aware of the fact that he is not in him; that he turned down and discredited that he has a bad habit of the moon like a coyote in wash. Yet this cry of hooks goes on, in season and out, ing. Poor Fowler, he is waking a sore ear. Let us see what these boys really are. In most of the Southern California, as known, the tax levy for their fund is $1 on the $100 per valuation. Here in Anahee cents on the hundred. This city has three bonds: city improvements, voted people, by overwhelming me. The first of these issues was 000, and was for the erection City Hall, the purchase of gine, fire hose and other items for the fire department. Tension was held on June 2nd, resulted as follows: For the 104 votes; 31 noes: Fowler here then, or the no vote have aggregated 32. The levy upon these bonds is 240 the $100. The second series of bills voted upon Oct. 27, 1894, was issued for the installation electric-light establishment. ing to the story, the Clerk averred had heretofore been done in Los Angeles or San Francisco, because they could not be printed here, nor had they ever been, said he. Instead of the editor of the Fowlerette working himself into a frenzy over our statement that we had printed the ballots for many municipal elections, and instead of becoming livid with rage and wildly exclaiming, tearing his hair the while, "Who lies?" could not the Fowlerette have told at a glance whether his office could have printed these ballots or not? Doesn't he know his office well enough for that? As a matter of fact, Nebelung came to us and "in the presence of witnesses," to borrow the expressive verbiage of the Fowlerette, offered us the job of printing these very same ballots, saying he was satisfied the other office did not understand the requirements of the law regarding their printing, and therefore he feared they could not do the job properly. We refused absolutely to have anything to do with the job. The other fellows having the contract for doing the city printing for a year, we told Nebelung that if the city in its wisdom had awarded the contract to a firm which could not print what they required of it, that was the city's lookout, not ours. Furthermore, it would have been in extremely bad taste, we suspect, to have accepted the job under all the circumstances. Nebelung's offer, we add, could only have come from one morally blind. It was rejected peremptorily. We will add that he seemed to be quite surprised that we should have refused his offer, saying the other fellows would never know a thing concerning the transaction! The conversation being here interrupted, Nebelung later repeated the offer to us, this time asking us to procure the ballot paper, election laws and voting paraphernalia; but we interjected a flat denial before he could proceed further. Here we might add that two years ago we went to considerable expense to procure the proper kind of ballot paper for this official. A trip to Los Angeles was made necessary, as well as no little correspondence with printers in Los Angeles, Pasadena (which votes at the same time we do, and uses the same kind of ballot paper), and the Secretary of State at Sacramento. Finally, at the eleventh hour, as it were, we succeeded in getting the grade of paper from the County Clerk of Los Angeles—we had the pleasure of paying for it ourselves. For this work, which we charitably took off the Clerk's hands, we received nothing, asked for nothing, wanted nothing. The money for the paper was paid us appointment must be made with him before he can be located in his office to transact the business of the position. To our knowledge he has said at each occurring election for six years past, that he wanted the office "only once more." But as sure as election day rolls round he bobs up serenely again. And here we have him with us again, the same prince of straddlers as of yore, telling a lie here, and telling a lie there, to ease up the progress of his trekking. We desire to make no argument for his defeat—we leave that to the voters of the city to decide for themselves. Two other aspirants—both of them poor men, while Nebelung is well to do—ask the suffrages of the voters for the office. And if Nebelung got his deserts, he would be shorn of the emoluments of at least one of his many offices. Then he might have time to learn to tell the truth. A concerted effort is being made, and seems to have continued for some time past, seeking to array the church element against Marshal Steadman, with a view to defeating him at the municipal election Monday. What argument has been made to support this contention on the part of a few of his personal enemies it has been difficult to imagine, until on Saturday the statement was published in the E. P. Fowlerette to the effect that at some remote period in the history of the town he had entered into a conspiracy to take from one of the churches the sum of $1.50 for city licenses—that he had in fact so taken this sum of money, and had appropriated it to his own use. Of course this statement, characteristic of Fowler, is untrue—there is not a word of truth in it. But the empty void, the vacuum of the pretensions of this fellow who is fighting Steadman, was never better illustrated than in the announcement of this puerile bit of imbecility upon the verge of the city election. Verily the mountain has labored and brought forth a roorback! As a matter of fact, the church people are just the class who should support Marshal Steadman for reelection. Does this fellow who is loudest in proclaiming his hostility to him remember, not so many years ago, before Steadman's advent into office, how the streets of this city were turned over, to a great extent, to the lawless element, while then Marshal played penochle with the brewer, who was waxing fat by the sale of his beer to these disturbers of the public peace? That is a portion of the history of the community which we do not care to dwell upon; but conditions were bad; there was a lot of lawlessness rampant and the City Hall, the purchase of gine, fire hose and other items for the fire department. Tension was held on June 23, resulted as follows: For the 104 votes; 31 noes. Fowler here then, or the no vote have aggregated 32. The levy upon these bonds is 200the $100. The second series of bills voted upon Oct. 27, 1894, was issued for the installation electric-light establishmen as no little correspondence with printers in Los Angeles, Pasadena (which votes at the same time we do, and uses the same kind of ballot paper), and the Secretary of State at Sacramento. Finally, at the eleventh hour, as it were, we succeeded in getting the grade of paper from the County Clerk of Los Angeles—we had the pleasure of paying for it ourselves. For this work, which we charitably took off the Clerk's hands, we received nothing, asked for nothing, wanted nothing. The money for the paper was paid us some weeks later, it is true, along with the bill for printing the tickets; but if the Clerk had attended to his duties properly, he would have procured this paper from the Secretary of State a month before. As it turned out, the ballots were prepared but a few hours before they were used at the election. It seems that the Clerk about the time of his conversation with us went to the office of our esteemed contemporary down the road, and with the odious damnation of a lie upon his lips, informed them this work had never been done in this city before; that he would have to send out of town to do the work, and more to the same effect. It would be difficult to understand whether it was with a deliberate intention to deceive, or whether the multifarious duties of his many offices pressing their claims for attention upon him, was responsible for throwing the Fowlerette into a gasping, gurgling, hair-splitting conniption fit. But Nebelung ought to have known (he did know)—he ought to have said, that whenever we have had the contract for doing the city printing, we have always printed these ballots at home here, in our own office. Moreover, we might add, for our contemporary's information; we have had contracts for the printing of tens of thousands of ballots for the county, and have always done the work here. In fact (we whisper this into the ear of our contemporary in all gentleness) that is our business; that is what we are supposed to be here for. We have furnished the election. Does this fellow who is loudest in proclaiming his hostility to him remember, not so many years ago, before Steadman's advent into office, how the streets of this city were turned over, to a great extent, to the lawless element, while the then Marshal played penochle with the brewer, who was waxing fat by the sale of his beer to these disturbers of the public peace? That is a portion of the history of the community which we do not care to dwell upon; but conditions were bad; there was a lot of lawlessness rampant, and the only advantage gained was by the saloons, who counted up the next morning how much beer they had sold, and how much the brewer's profits were. That was a state of affairs we do not care to see imitated in this city ever again. The very first thing Mr. Steadman did on being elected Marshal was to stamp out this carousel of drunkenness and disturbance of the peace at once and forever. Petty thefts of buggy robes, whips and other articles of minor value, were put a stop to; the culprits were arrested, fined or placed in jail. The transferring of Center street into an impromptu racecourse was stopped; and law and order prevailed where there was disorder and riotous disturbance of the peace before. The Salvation Army, which had been molested by the unthinking before, were accorded every protection once Mr. Steadman came into office, and this immunity from disturbance has continued to it during his entire administration. Religious services had been interfered with before his advent as Marshal, after his election never. That is why the church people owe something of a debt of gratitude to this courageous public official. We know personally of many who will support him, and we believe the statement that the "church people are against Steadman" is untruthful, and made without their knowledge, consent or authority. He is just the kind of man we ought to have for Marshal, and just the kind of man the church people should support. E. P. Fowler and Uitlanders voted against and prosperity that year [535] probably among them. The tax levy on these boots on the $100. The third series of bids voted August 1, 1896, when was voted, 139 to 30. The for the enlargement of the light plant and the extensive water works. The levy bonds amounts to 28 cents people voted overwhelming these improvements. When use of Fowler's belly-achievement them now? We have at present the protection from fires that is vexed to any community of the State. Our fire department to throw several streams on high as those thrown by Angeles and San Francisco departments. Our municipal system has been enlarged proved until it is now our largest and best municipality in the State. We does Fowler want? The taxpayers receive all along received a satisfactory turn for their investments. A commodious City Hall, lent municipal electric-light furnishing the cheapest light State; a splendid system works under municipal co-operation adequate fire department streets are being put in action. We have an ideal cell-growing, prosperous, and happy. Fowler [535] and his little Uitlanders are the only ones and they don't amount to whoop in hides anyway. The San Francisco Exxon Friday comes to hand with lowing woozy yarn telegraphed its Anaheim correspondence same individual who corresse Gen. Otis' Los Angeles nc The item is paraded in by under the heading "Terrials of Prospectors and Rattles." ANAHEIM, March 29.—Of oil prospectors, who went t this satellites would give their eye teeth to compass Steadman's defeat; but if indications are to be relied upon, this ostentatious drug-eater will be again sat upon by the voters on Monday next. We believe Steadman will be elected by the largest majority he has ever received. For upward of a year past our ears have been ding-donged with the loud lamentations arising from E. P. Fowler [535] and his gang of Uitlanders that taxes in this city are too high; that property is taxed more than its market value, and that sort of rot. Of course, no attention has been paid to the wailings of this Chief Uitlander because every one in Anaheim and vicinity is perfectly well aware of the fact that the truth is not in him; that he has been turned down and discredited, and that he has a bad habit of baying at the moon like a coyote in the sandwash. Yet this cry of high taxes goes on, in season and out, never ending. Poor Fowler, he is worse than a sore ear. Let us see what these high taxes really are. In most of the cities of Southern California, as is well known, the tax levy for the General fund is $1 on the $100 of assessed valuation. Here in Anaheim it is 71 cents on the hundred. This city has three bond funds for city improvements, voted by the people, by overwhelming majorities. The first of these issues was for $15,000, and was for the erection of a City Hall, the purchase of a fire engine, fire hose and other apparatus for the fire department. The election was held on June 2, 1891, and resulted as follows: For the bonds, 104 votes; 31 noes. Fowler was not here then, or the no votes would have aggregated 32. The city tax levy upon these bonds is 21 cents on the $100. The second series of bonds was voted upon Oct. 27, 1894, when $7000 was issued for the installation of an electric-light establishment, which the floor of a deserted adobe house in Black Star canyon last night, three were bitten by rattlesnakes this morning on arising. Medical aid was summoned immediately and two of the men are out of danger. E. R. Ambrose is in a critical condition. When the men awakened this morning the floor of the room in which they were seemed alive with snakes. The heat from a fire that had been kept through the night had evidently attracted the reptiles from their den under the much cracked floor of the old building. Frightened out of their wits, the three men who were later bitten jumped from their cots and started to fight in the open. Ambrose fell over a chair in his haste, was bitten through the lips and on the hand. The two men who escaped injury kept perfectly quiet on the floor, the snakes crawling over them and hissing, but not making attack. This yarn has about as much foundation to it as that other story sent the Examiner some weeks by the same correspondent to the effect that the rains at Chino had been so heavy during a recent storm that "much stock was drowned in the waters of Chino creek." It is strange that no one at Chino ever heard of the "large number of drowned stock in Chino creek," nor of any drowned stock this season. In fact the season at Chino has been so dry that the sugar factory will not be operated this year—the seasonal rains have not been sufficient to sprout the beets. But this snake story! That takes the cake. We like that sort of story. It is interesting. The Examiner has dished it up with all the appurtenances of a freak type-setter. What does it care whether the story be truthful or not? Newspapers are not printed nowadays to tell the truth anyhow. But we venture to say that no one in Orange county ever heard of the hair-raising yarn. If citizens of the community desire to cast their ballots for the best Marshal Anaheim has ever had, let them vote for N. F. Steadman.

The San Francisco Examiner of Friday comes to hand with the following woozy yarn telegraphed from its Anaheim correspondent—the same individual who corresponds for Gen. Otis' Los Angeles newspaper. The item is paraded in black type, under the heading "Terrible Fight of Prospectors and Rattlesnakes"; Anaheim, March 29.—Of a party of oil prospectors, who went to bed on cent wrong in his accounts. Anaheim once had a City Marshal who was "shy" some $2400 in his accounts; besides four of his monthly stub books were destroyed.

The greater part of this amount was of course returned on compulsion, but the destroyed stub books yielded nothing. It required an indictment by the Grand Jury and a threatened prosecution to straighten matters out, which was done as well as the tangled state of affairs would permit. That made a very bad scandal at the time. Marshal Steadman conducts his office differently. He has never misappropriated a cent. If you believe in this manner of doing business, vote for him.

Valjean sues Herman and Charlotte Koster for damages in the sum of $16,500 for failure to transfer title to 400 acres of land as per contract. The complaint alleges that the deed was placed in escrow with the Citizen's Bank of Anaheim and that said bank refused to turn it over to plaintiff on the fulfillment of the required conditions, because defendants had served notice on the bank not to do so. If the facts bear out the allegations of the complaint it would seem that the bank was at fault in not delivering the deed on the payment of the stipulated price. Otherwise the escrow would have no blinding force between the parties and be of no practical use as a method of making a transfer.
