To get a Mathushek Piano manufactured by Mathushek & Son of New York, is to get an ideal constructed piano, and if purchased of us at a price that is bound to please. It is among the oldest makes manufactured, and for over sixty years has stood the test and won the approval of critics and artists the world over. It is the only piano with a double sounding board that cannot possibly crack. We can give a list of people in Orange county that have used this make over twenty years, and their pianos are today in better tone and condition than half the new pianos sold today. We also have a number of other makes that will please for the money we ask for them. Drop us a line and we will call, or visit our store before getting a piano.

The old pilot of the little steamers Maid of the Mist, which used to carry passengers quite up to the foot of the falls of Niagara until the mist from the falling waters drenched the clothing every one on board, used to perpetual one solitary conundrum each trip always commenced and ended the same. Moving his hand along the sides of the pilothouse and examining the woodwork minutely, he would look up my teriously and remark: "I say, stranger; do you know what this boat is made of?" "Made of? Why, pine and oak; is she?" "No, sir." "Hemlock?" "No." "Tisn't cedar, is it?" "Oh, no!" And then the old pilot's eyes twisted and his mouth whistled a taut tune. "Well, iron perhaps?" "No." What in thunder is she made then? "She's Maid of the Mist." Then the pilot accepted his morning cigar. He Was Very Charitable. An amusing story is told in connection with a swell bazaar held a short time ago. Among the features of entertainment was a refreshment stall to which charitable donors contribute supplies thus enabling all the takings to represent clear profits. The lady in charge requested a fee for this purpose from a well known and wealthy gentleman in the city one not famous for "parting." To surprise she received next day a ride to the effect that he was sending her sirloin of beef and "two" ox tongue. The same morning the lady happened to go to her butcher (who was also butcher of Mr. X.), and after giving him a large order for her stall as soon as anything. "I should very much ma'am," replied the worthy tradesman ("but I yes day gave to Mr. X., at his request this purpose, a sirloin of beef and two ox tongues.")

FREE RURAL MAIL DELIVERY. Three Routes Established in Anaheim—One for the Oil Wells, and Two for the Territory South and West of Town. On Thursday morning, Sept. 6th, Postmaster Littlefield received instructions from Washington to begin, on Sept. 15th, the work of delivering mail on the three routes of rural free delivery which had been petitioned for by upwards of 300 residents of the country surrounding this city. Routes Nos. 1 and 2, as has already been pointed out in these columns, embrace the territory south and west of town. Route No. 3 embraces the Santa Fe oil wells, situated at the mouth of Soquel canyon, nine miles northeast of this city; also the districts of Olive and Yorba. The postoffice at Clair, Olive and Yorba will be discontinued Sept. 15. The description of the routes is as follows: ROUTE NO. 1 Starting at Anaheim postoffice, thence west on Center street to Lemon street; thence south to South street; thence east to Los Angeles street; thence south to north line of Section 22, Township 4 South, Range 10 West; thence west to half section line; thence south to center of section; thence west along half section line to Neff’s north-west corner; thence south to Katella schoolhouse (here locate United States collection box No. 1); thence east one mile; thence south one mile; thence north one mile; thence west one mile; thence south one mile (here locate United States collection box No. 2); thence west one mile; thence north one mile; thence west one-half mile; thence south one mile; thence west one-half mile (here locate United States collection box No. 3); thence north one mile (here locate United States collection box No. 4); thence west one mile; thence west one mile; thence north one-half mile; thence west one mile (here locate United States collection box No. 5); thence east four and three-fourth miles to Walnut street (here locate Here the blue print maps which Postmaster Littlefield last week received were made. Copies were sent hither and others forwarded to Washington. On Thursday last, Sept. 6th, word was received from the Postoffice Department at Washington instructing Postmaster Littlefield to begin the delivery of mail on the three routes on Sept. 15th. The attempt of the Fullerton Squawk to interfere with the establishment of the routes furnished one of the ludicrous features of the campaign. It seemed to be particularly averse to the establishment of route No. 3, which will serve the Santa Fe oil wells, as well as Yorba and Olive. A bit of the contemporary history of the time may not be untimely here. Anaheim had been for some weeks engaged in the formation of two routes south and west of town. Such excellent progress was made that it appeared a sufficient number of names would be secured to the lists to admit of the formation of three routes. At this time Postmaster Upham of Olive came to town and volunteered to give up his office if rural free delivery were established in his section. He stated that the receipts of the Olive postoffice had been $11 during July, and of this he had to pay $5 for rent of the building. Word was sent to the Santa Fe oil people to the effect that if they wished to have their mail delivered from this point they could be embraced in a district to include Olive and Yorba and the wells. The oil well people replied they would be greatly pleased to have their mail delivered from this point. Clarendon was there upon engaged to solicit for subscribers to Route No. 3. He proceeded to the oil wells, and the first day procured the names of twenty-one bona fide subscribers, with assurances that on his next trip to the wells, two days later, eighteen more subscribers would; in all probability, after investigating the matter, attach their names to the petition. daily. The way the alleged route laid out the carrier would first mail deliveries in a portion of Anaheim then in Olive and Yorba before would reach the wells. The oil people would all have to change their mail from Fullerton to Anaheim; they absolutely refuse to do. Anaheim wants to force this on the employer they did not sign the petition for route from Anaheim nor did they scribe for the boxes on the allele route. Should the mail be changed from Fullerton to Anaheim 7-10 years would continue to come to Fullerton for many years. A petition for re-No. 2 from Fullerton was circulated this week and up to last night over signatures had been secured at Santa Fe, Brea canyon and Puente wells; the service. Orders were taken the boxes simultaneously. Between and 70 employees at the wells in Santa Fe section signed for the service and boxes, all declaring that they would much prefer the present season rather than undertake to have their mail changed to Anaheim and receive by the moonlight route. A resident Anaheim went to the Santa Fe we secured a list of the employees and entered their names on the list for service, which they did not want never will accept. They are enticed to a little sayso in the matter and so convince Anaheimers when try to force the service upon their well people. Fullerton route No. 2 be established just as soon as the thristles act on the petition." It was now revealed to the Square that nothing could “knock out” oil well route from Anaheim and sorted downright lying in its maelodyors to defeat the wishes of those people. “The mail from Anaheim would not arrive at the oil wells until o’clock,” it said, when those in charge of the formation of the route plan themselves to have the mail allys before noon—by half-pass probably. It said nothing about necessity for the mail carrier going back to Anaheim by 4 o’clock to outgoing mail for the north. “Heim wants to force this matter off oil well people;" “they never wield except;" and all that sort of rot might right with little children." His Only Conundrum. A pilot of the little steamer on the Mist, which used to carry passengers quite up to the foot of the Niagara until the mist from the waters drenched the clothing of one on board, used to perpetuate a coy conundrum each trip. It commenced and ended the hand along the sides of the house and examining the wood-furniture, he would look up mysteries, stranger, do you know what it is made of? Why, pine and oak, isn't it cedar, is it?" No! When the old pilot's eyes twined his mouth whistled a crazy iron perhaps? It in thunder is she made of. Is Maid of the Mist, stranger; or the Mist." The pilot accepted his morning life Was Very Charitable. Unusual story is told in connection with a swell bazaar held a short ago. Among the features of theinement was a refreshment stall, which charitable donors contributed thus enabling all the takings present clear profits. Adry in charge requested a gift its purpose from a well known healthy gentleman in the city, but at famous for "parting." To her she received next day a note that effect that he was sending her a of beef and "two" ox tongues. Some morning the lady happened to her butcher (who was also the owner of Mr. X.), and, after giving large order for her stall, asked he would like himself to give ing. Could very much, ma'am," repliedorthy tradesman, "but I yesterlove to Mr. X., at his request for purpose, a sirloin of beef and three tongues." Again to Mr. X.: One ox tongue cheap reputation for charity!—on Standard. Trapped the Trapper. Sketches of Life In the Golden Colonel Albert S.

Population to be served, about 1000; 178 houses on route. this point they could be embraced in a district to include Olive and Yorba and the wells. The oil well people replied they would be greatly pleased to have their mail delivered from this point. Clarence Lincoln was thereupon engaged to solicit for subscribers to Route No. 3. He proceeded to the oil wells, and the first day procured the names of twenty-one bona fide subscribers, with assurances that on his next trip to the wells, two days later, eighteen more subscribers would, in all probability, after investigating the matter, attach their names to the petition. These names were subsequently secured, upwards of a month ago. Since that time, however, he had not been able to secure the name of a single subscriber. He was given promises from 65 men that "if the route were really established," they would subscribe; but not till then. Why was this? Because of the lying utterances of the Fullerton paper, and the wilful misrepresentations of its editor, together with those of a hired solicitor. After Major Jeffrey had some weeks thereafter personally inspected the route, had recommended it, and had had County Surveyor Finley draw the map of the same, these men had the unblushing assurance to go into the territory and solicit names for another route, saying the route from this city would not be formed, that the solicitor for it was attempting to deceive them concerning it, and counseling the oil men not to have anything to do with it. A few extracts from the Fullerton paper printed about this time will show what depth of maliciousness it descended. On August 11th the Squawk blustered out as follows, getting quite red in the face: "It is reported that Anaheim will attempt to take in the oil fields in a free rural mail delivery route. They are now trying to knock out a part of the established Fullerton route in the Orangentepe district in favor of one of their routes. We suppose our neighbors will next want to deliver mail to Fullerton merchants. Fullerton was the first section in Orange county enterprising enough to ask for free rural delivery and it required a lot of hard work to get up the route, and now our neighbor town steps in and wants to knock out a portion of an established route and also establish a service in the Fullerton oil well section. This is a very nervy proposition—in fact it is cheeky; gally. Wonder if the Anaheimites think for a moment the oil well people would have their mail changed from Fullerton to Anaheim? Not while they are sane." A word as to the alleged attempt to "knock out" a portion of their route. Nothing could possibly be further from the truth. One Daniels, who had been acting as solicitor for a route at Fullerton, went down along the section line running by Brookshurst and began lying about the route being formed in this city. He approached Mrs. E. Browning, Victor Browning, A. H. Cargill, C.F. Blackfan, Chas. Allgeyer, Mr Dahlman and others—all of whom had signed the petition for one of the routes to be formed in this city—and said to them that our route would not be formed; that if they desired to have their mail delivered, it must come from Fullerton, The oil well people replied they would be greatly pleased to have their mail delivered from this point.

Sketches of Life in the Golden Colonel Albert S. Evans narreer the rash exploit of an overne bear hunter: Enturesome Yankee came to San Barbara some years ago and soon an adept at throwing the lasso. Gled the Mexican cowboys talk of gled the grizzly bear, he decided how them what he could do in that he ever got a chance. A day he came upon a grizzly in portable locality. He threw the with skillful aim and reined back combing horse to give the bear conisher, when the reata—which was attached to the pommel of middle—came up taut. Age of the man's astonishment that bear quietly assumed a sit posture, took hold of the lasso began to draw it in hand over hapless descendant of the pilafathers stuck to the horse and until he saw the slack all drawn the bear and the horse coming together. Then, in a panic, ascended and ran for a tree, aban-ging the horse to its fate. No skillful men, operating from op-ades, can master a bear and him between them, but with one man, one horse and one bear, another story. US REMOVE THE DOUBT Our mind as to what piano to buy.

When Daniel's untruthfulness was discovered, these people were outspoken in their denunciation of him, and when some days later, he showed up with a mail box and demanded $3.50 from each, they flatly refused to accept of the boxes, saying they had originally signed to be served from this city, and having cornered him in an untruth, refused absolutely to have anything further to do with his route. When these matters were laid before Major Jeffrey he ordered the map of the Fullerton route modified to the end that it was made to recede a half-mile to the north, thus excluding these people from its boundaries, and placing them where they properly belonged, in the Anaheim district. On August 18th the Squawk delivered itself of the following, still being very red in the face: "Anahema claims that Capt. Jeffrey has recommended that a free rural mail delivery route be established from that city, taking in Olive, Yorba and the Santa Fe oil wells. If the oil well people were to accept the service from that city—which they refuse to do—they would receive their mail about 4 p.m." Nothing could possibly be further from the truth. One Daniels, who had been acting as solicitor for a route at Fullerton, went down along the section line running by Brookshurst and began lying about the route being formed in this city. He approached Mrs. E. Browning, Victor Browning, A. H. Cargill, C.F. Blackfan, Chas. Allgeyer, Mr. Dahlman and others—all of whom had signed the petition for one of the routes to be formed in this city—and said to them that our route would not be formed; that if they desired to have their mail delivered, it must come from Fullerton, as Anaheim would not be able to form a route. He took down their names to a paper, saying that would entitle them to "a box" on his route. Even then he knew that a map had been prepared by the County Surveyor, placing them in the Fullerton route, instead of in the Anaheim route, as they had petitioned for.

As he wrote from Washington under date of July 7th: "You should meet the inspector, and when he comes is the time for the people to do their work. You should show him the proposed route, and if possible at that time harmonize all conflicting views. "You can readily understand that I would not be in a position to recommend a change of route after the inspector has made his recommendations." Again on July 20th he wrote: "The people should understand that when the inspector is there, that then is the best opportunity to make known whatever objection they may have to the route as proposed. "The recommendation of the agent is generally taken as conclusive, as he is supposed to be entirely disinterested, and having made a personal inspection, his recommendation has great weight, and I usually follow his advice." The attempt of Johnson to stir up trouble at Coronado Beach was frowned down upon by the Orange county delegation, who assured Congressman Needham Johnson was altogether without following, or with the support of the oil well people. He found that he was in the wrong pew, and after running his little Democratic bluff, was permitted to retire. The Orange county delegation, composed of Cash Harvey, Walter Robinson, D. S. McHenry, J. W. Duckworth, Frank Shanley, Capt. Hart, E. S. Wallace, J. N. Bill and Mr. Forgy, stood manfully by Congressman Needham, and endorsed his action. ALREADY AT WORK. Carriers Frank L.

KOSTER WRITES FROM FLORIDA Likes the Country Better than California — Is Comfortably Situated and Ready to Entertain Old Friends Should They Come His Way. BARTOW, Polk Co., Fla., Sept. 1, 1900. EDITOR GAZETTE—Dear Sir: I punctually received your invaluable papers of August 16th and 23d, and I noticed with great satisfaction that you had kindly given my letter space in one of them. The last paper contained an article, "A Lesson for California," that should be read by every right-minded, intelligent person, and applies not only to California, but almost to every State in the Union. Wanton destruction of all our natural resources is going on everywhere; we give no thought to the future, and we should be doubly careful in arid countries, where damage cannot be repaired as fast and as easily as in seasonable ones. Your paper is looked forward to as a welcome visitor every Thursday, and all its contents are eagerly devoured both by myself and my wife. I have traveled a great deal, since my last writing, through the southern section of Florida, and went as far south as Punta Gorda; then came back again to Lakeland, and visited Tampa. This is quite a large seaport, with shipping facilities to all parts of the world. Of all the places that I saw none pleased me so well, however, as Bartow, and we are going to locate here permanently. It is a town of about 2500 inhabitants; has electric light, lumber yards, ice factory and well-equipped stores of all kinds. The town has no saloons, and all business houses are closed on Sunday. It would be dull here, indeed, on that day if the quiet was not broken to a great extent by the blacks—and their number is legion—who keep parading up and down the streets in their best dresses and suits; who continually keep Frank Shanley, Capt.

Eastman and Clarence Lincoln have been at work during the week preparing their wagons for the delivery of mails, which is scheduled to begin Sept. 15th. Posts have been ordered from the Griffith lumber yard for the support of the boxes, which were ordered by telegraph to be shipped here from San Jose. The postoffice at Clair, Olive and Yorba will as already stated, be discontinued. Persons receiving their mail at Clair will henceforth get it in this city, or on the rural route passing through that section. Yorba mail will be distributed on Route No. 3. Olive mail will go to Orange or Anaheim, as the different parties may elect. The postoffice at Smeltzer will also be discontinued on the 15th. The office has been in operation only a few months. It was organized while the Santa Ana people were discussing the practicability of forming rural delivery routes running from that town. One of these ran through Smeltzer. The Santa Anaites were slow in organizing these routes, and for a time they would not take on free delivery. The Smeltzer office was formed with the understanding that it would be discontinued in the event of the establishment of rural free delivery. Accordingly, when the latter service was instituted, the postmaster at Smeltzer was called upon for his resignation. A change had come over the spirit of his dream, and he refused to give up the office. Inspector Jeffrey recommended that the office be abolished, and last week the Postoffice Department at Washington ordered it discontinued. Instructions have been sent subscribers upon the three routes, informing them of the beginning of the service, together with such other information as has been deemed necessary. From them the following paragraphs are taken: Mail will be delivered to any family on or adjacent to the above route, free of all cost, provided only that a suitable box to receive the mail is put up directly on the above route, in a place that can be conveniently reached by the carrier without alighting from his buggy. No mail will be delivered unless a box is provided to receive it. These boxes may be procured from the carrier, who will place them in the proper position for $3.50. Carriers will carry a supply of postage stamps, postal cards, stamped envelopes and money order blanks. To insure prompt delivery all mail should be addressed: "Rural Route No., Anaheim, Cal." Carriers will carry and deliver parcels not suitable for mailing, at a small cost to the patrons of the route. Three hundred mail boxes have been ordered, and should be here by the time this paper is issued—they are looked for to arrive today. As the lists contain the names of nearly that number of subscribers, and a number of others have signified their intention to subscribe when the routes begin opera- Of all the places that I saw none pleased me so well, however, as Bar-tow, and we are going to locate here permanently. It is a town of about 2500 inhabitants; has electric light, lumber yards, ice factory and well-equipped stores of all kinds. The town has no saloons, and all business houses are closed on Sunday. It would be dull here, indeed, on that day if the quiet was not broken to a great extent by the blacks—and their number is legion—who keep parading up and down the streets in their best dresses and suits; who continually keep going to and coming from their houses of worship. In their great superstition they worship so loud and emotionally that it must make their God feel a little tired at times. Florida is slowly recovering from the effects of the fatal freeze of 1893-94. A good many orange groves will yield fair returns this season, and a good deal of money will come into the State through this source. But history generally repeats itself, and it would be good policy to use judgment and discernment in making investments in that line in this section. To say that we like this country much better than California would be expressing ourselves very mildly indeed. We have convinced ourselves by this time that the uplands of this State are as healthy as any part of California; that the annual rainfall, about 60 inches, is ample for most purposes; that the people, although given to indulence through climatic conditions, are as honest and upright as can be found anywhere, and that every one has within his power to make a good living with a few hours' work every day. We could have bought a great many places, for the country is full of croakers, but found nothing that gave entire satisfaction. We have now, however, struck across a place that fills the bill. It consists of 10 acres of land; is located within the city limits on a clayed road; its improvements consist of a two-story house of eight rooms, with hallway, porch and galleries; a barn, outhouses and a good well. The soil is black sand underlaid by phosphates, and is of more than average fertility, as shown by crop of corn, rice, millet, peas, beans and beggarweed. About 300 orange and other fruit trees are on the place. The whole is under fence and everything in good condition. The place had to be sold on account of foreclosure of mortgage held by the Building and Loan association of Bartow. It is an elegant piece of property and quite a bargain at the price paid for it by us,$700. You see, Mr. Editor, that we are getting along first rate, and shall be able to entertain you or our other friends royalty if you or they should ever happen to come our way. Yours truly, HERMAN KOSTER. Southern Pacific company will sell special round-trip tickets to Los Angeles and return Sept. 20th, account of Paine's fireworks representation of the Battle of San Juan. A special train will leave Arcade depot, Los Angeles, Thursday night, Sept. 20th, at 11 o'clock, for Santa Ana and intermediates, to accommodate When it is known that Anaheim gets more mails daily than Fullerton, the cry of the Squawk that the oil well people could be better served on a route starting from that point than by the present established route, rather calls to the ground. All this time the oil well people were laughing in their sleeves concerning the Squawk's discomfiture. Johnson's letterwailings were really too trivial to think about. Word was sent into town to hurry up the formation of the Anaheim mail route; that they had had enough of Johnson—in fact, had had too much Johnson—and wanted to have their mail delivered from this city. Johnson kept up his lying, and when the Congressional convention met at Coronado Beach on August 27th, what was more natural than that he should himself thither to carry his lying to Congressman Needham. This Johnson did, repeating the lies which he had published during the preceding three weeks. His assurance was never more forcibly illustrated. Here was the editor of a Democratic paper, standing as he was at the time as a candidate for the Democratic Congressional convention (albeit he was woefully defeated), presuming to dictate to a Republican Congressman about matters concerning which other and better qualified gentlemen were on the ground ready to speak and give evidence upon. Johnson was summarily turned down. Congressman Needham desired to do nothing except what would please not only the oil well people, but all others interested in the route. He treated all parties courteously, and after carefully reviewing all the evidence placed before him, refused to interfere with the recommendations of Major Jeffrey, Use Allen's Foot-Ease in Your Gloves.

Olmsted, Le Roy, New York. Carriers will carry a supply of postage stamps, postal cards, stamped envelopes and money order blanks. To insure prompt delivery all mail should be addressed: "Rural Route No. —, Anaheim, Cal." Carriers will carry and deliver parcels not suitable for mailing, at a small cost to the patrons of the route. Three hundred mail boxes have been ordered, and should be here by the time this paper is issued—they are looked for to arrive today. As the lists contain the names of nearly that number of subscribers, and a number of others have signified their intention to subscribe when the routes begin operations, it will be well for all subscribers to be ready to receive their boxes this week or early next week. Moreover, these 300 subscribers were secured before it was known that the post offices at Clair, Olive and Yorba would be discontinued simultaneously with the beginning of the delivery of mail upon the routes. That the three offices were to be discontinued, however, was known. Now that they will be discontinued on Saturday next, the 15th, it is likely a largely increased number of subscribers will be anxious to procure boxes. The original signers have first call, but a sufficient number will be provided for everyone desiring the service. Distribution of boxes will begin immediately upon their arrival, at Mr. Dickel's store. Payment in the amount of $3.50 must be made for each box before delivery. Get in line for your boxes and avoid the rush! Cured of Chronic Diarrhoea After Thirty Years of Suffering. "I suffered for thirty years with diarrhoea and thought I was past being cured," says John S. Halloway, of French Camp, Miss. "I had spent so much time and money and suffered so much that I had given up all hopes of recovery. I was so feeble from the effects of the diarrhoea that I could do no kind of labor, could not even travel. By accident I was permitted to find a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and after taking several bottles I am entirely cured of that trouble. I am so pleased with the result that I am anxious that it be in reach of all who suffer as I have." For sale by P. A. Derge, druggist.

If baby is not nourished by its artificial food, then it requires Scott's Emulsion. Half a teaspoonful three or four times a day in its bottle will have the desired effect.
