HOW ABOUT THIS, GENERAL? Man Says Olive Growing is all Right, And That Joel Shoemaker Is Onto His Job. There appeared in the Los Angeles Times of the 8th inst. a sort of editorial article under the above caption, alluding to Joel Shoemaker, who the Times "believes, makes his home somewhere in Washington whence he inundates the press with typewritten matter with greater or less importance, has procured to be published in several exchanges, among others the Riverside Press and the ANAHEIM GAZETTE, an article on olive culture of which he says 'in fifteen counties of Southern California there are successful olive groves consisting of more than 70 varieties. The growers report having immense sales for the fruit in all forms, and the oil taken in many places in preference to the imported. The profits from an olive orchard are greater than from any other fruit, and the demand for olive products increases every year. There are many thousands of acres in this country that might be devoted to olive culture and the industry become as important as any of the special foreign fruits.' "This is misleading in the highest degree, not to say absolutely false. So far from the profits of an olive orchard being greater than from any other fruit raised, the reverse is true, there being scarcely any other fruit raised in Southern California that has been so disappointing to the fruit-grower during the past few years. So much is this the case that a number of growers have rooted up and abandoned their trees, while only a few months ago at the request of the olive men, an expert was sent out by the University of California to discover why the industry was a failure. The growers complain that, first, the trees in many instances refuse to bear, and that secondly, when they did get a crop they are unable to market the product at a profit." Every statement made by Mr. Shoemaker can be verified in every particular right here in Los Angeles county, where the olive tree has flourished and the fruit gathered every year for a hundred years, and the trees still flourishing and fruitful. The editor of the Times resided for some time at Santa Barbara, edited a newspaper there and no doubt he has visited olive orchards in the vicinity, and notably the orchard. MARTIN IS A LOBSTER. Col. Brady Talks About the Graft and Things Doing In the Legislature. “If you’ll wait until I put this under my belt,” said “Col.” Martin Brady, as he diluted his glass of Scotch with plain water, to an Examiner correspondent, “I'll tell you what I think of this bunco factory in which I have toiled for 70 days.” After drinking his favorite tipple, the “colonel” moved away from the bar, and leaning against a slot machine said: “When I blew the tenderloin to enter politics I thought I was stepping a bit high in the world, but my experience as a statesman convinces me that no man can continue in politics without becoming a soiled dove. ‘After a great deal of mental effort I have determined that the laws of this State effecting legislators should be changed. During the session each member of the legislature should be a recognized attorney. Then he could take his bit and call it a fee. That's what most of the guys in the senate who are lawyers do! ‘While you're a lawyer you can graft and call the stuff you cop off a fee; but if you're not a lawyer, and you take a piece of money for boosting or knocking a bill, they dub you a ‘boodler.’ If I were a lawyer I could have the agents of the corporations hand me a bank roll at my desk. As it is, if I desired to do business along that line I would have to go into the corridor to have dough handed to me. ‘In my time I have batted around with second-story workers, soft shoe dancers, porch climbers, strong arm men and gold brick salesman, but I never butted into such a bunch of high-toned burglars as the stiffs in the senate. Why, a lot of those guys would touch you for your eye. ‘Talk about your ‘natural-born reachers,’ why, they have their mitts out all the time, and they are ready to accept anything from a greenback to a cigar. But no one knocked them. When they got the stuff they said it was a ‘fee.’ “Most of the assemblymen were good guys. Grass-cutter Hourigan got swelled up a bit and got his hair cut curly, and Schlessinger was a busy man, but I am willing to take an oath that I waited seventy days for my bit to come along—and it never came.” Game in the Sportsman's Paradise Continued from First page. the cold nights of autumn to catch breeze in the act. He lies all day in the desert chaparrel within sound of the settler voice at the house, and, though he may be seen no more in the plain, he has gone a little higher into the hills, and little earlier in the morning, and a little deeper into the brush. Yet it is but a few years since deer spent the day under the noddle sycamore at the mouth of the little dog lying beneath the sumac along the edge of the plain or under the live oak fringed the little parks once so numerous in the hills when they were roaming in their native brush. This was one of the few places of the wild where that grand sport, still bunnies this wary and tricky animal, could follow with any pleasure in the midst of summer. In many places the deer never comes into the open ground summer except to go to water, while shooting is miserable murder. Cover is so dense they cannot be elsewhere, while mosquitoes, black flies and other pests make it almost impossible to move with that stillness care necessary for success. But cool breezes make a day in the hill luxury, insect pests were practiced unknown, a wide and varied landscape was always before one to make even new hill a source of pleasure, with constant temptation to climb the ridge to see what was beyond it; if there were no game on it. They could follow the track of deer with danger of finding some granger's astraddle of it with a five-dollar man dispensary or having some tender shoot at you for a deer. You could fresh tracks at almost every spring morning, have them all to you for the day, and when at last you skillful enough to rouse the deer made them, you might have the greatest test of skill with the rifle that ever called forth. For the mule of this country is a bounding deer motion is a richochet, which, combined with speed of his forward movement makes the most puzzling of all man on which to make any calculations rocky or bushy ground he genetically changes this to suit the size or age of every new bush or rock, and then ening undulation his bright coat The growers complain that, first, the trees in many instances refuse to bear, and that secondly, when they did get a crop they are unable to market the product at a profit. Every statement made by Mr. Shoemaker can be verified in every particular right here in Los Angeles county, where the olive tree has flourished and the fruit gathered every year for a hundred years, and the trees still flourishing and fruitful. The editor of the Times resided for some time at Santa Barbara, edited a newspaper there and no doubt he has visited olive orchards in the vicinity, and notably the orchard of Ellwood Cooper, doubtless sampled Cooper's olive oil and is competent to pass on its excellence over any other oil produced outside California. He has also, no doubt, sampled pickled olives produced in Southern California, and like President Cleveland can tell the truth and will do so. Now for ocular demonstration which is very good evidence in all cases. At the time the Times' olive culture article was being penned or typewritten as the case may be, there was an exhibition in the front window of No. 107 S. Broadway, and visible from the window of the editorial rooms of the Times, and not a stone's throw away from the corner of the imposing granite building where the Times is printed, a very attractive and large display of olive branches loaded with olives, both ripe and in green state, and inside of room No. 107 was samples of cured olives that were nutritious and toothsome as any reasonable person could desire. These olives were raised by J. A. Brown of Hemet, which is one of the fifteen counties of Southern California alluded to by Mr. Shoemaker, at an elevation of 1600 feet above the sea level, where something like 300 acres are planted to olives that are now bearing, some of the trees commencing to bear the second year after planting, and all of them that have been properly cared for are yielding plentiful and profitable crops every year since they were four years old. Now as to marketing the crop, the oil and pickled olives were sought for by residents of Southern California without soliciting trade or putting the crop in the hands of the commission men at good prices, and orders came in after all were sold. Again, the olive curing company of Fernando commenced work on the olive crop of the San Fernando valley, Los Angeles county, about the first of October, 1900, and made an article of pickled ripe olives, that was sold at the works about as fast as they were ready for market, and that, too, without putting the goods in the hands of any commission men, much of it going to eastern cities upon orders unsolicited. The facts seem to be just as Mr. Shoemaker stated in every particular. Now as to the expert sent out at the request of olive men by the University of California to discover why the industry was a failure. Can the Times give us the name of an olive man that asked for an expert or give the name of the expert sent out? Their names ought to appear in print. In the year 1900 the University College of Agri- Why, a lot of those guys would touch you for your eye.

Bryan has taken direct and pointed exception to the late utterances of Grover Cleveland. The sentiments along the line of party re-organization expressed by the former president, in a recent letter to a Baltimore club, furnished the inspiration for criticism on the part of the editor of the Commoner. He discusses the matter in today's issue under the caption of "Six Dollars' Reward." After characterizing the advice of the sage of Princeton as ambiguous, indefinite and useless, and satirizing the latter's utterances concerning the "rank and file," Byran editorially offers a reward of $6 to Mr. Cleveland for a plain statement embodying his personal views of Democratic principles as applied to six leading questions now before the country. Concluding, Editor Bryan says of Mr. Cleveland: "Assuming to be inspired by a purer Democracy, and boasting of a superior vitreue, he began to offer unsolicited advice to the party to which he once belonged. If he will clearly and candidly define the Democratic principles about which he is so prone to talk, the people can decide for themselves whether he is the same Mr. Cleveland who turned the treasury over to a foreign financial syndicate and instructed J. Pierpont Morgan with the combination of the government vaults, and then supported the Republican ticket because his administration was not indorsed." RANDALL'S ISLAND SLANG.

Now as to the expert sent out at the request of olive men by the University of California to discover why the industry was a failure. Can the Times give us the name of an olive man that asked for an expert or give the name of the expert sent out? Their names ought to appear in print. In the year 1900 the University College of Agriculture had printed at the expense of State of California, and sent out a report of work of the experiment stations of the University of California which gives an account of olives experimented with for a number of years, in words and figures as follows: "In 1892, 1893 and 1894, the olive trees did quite well, and Oblonga, Praecox, Picholine and other varieties bore crops. Several late frosts in 1894, 1895 and 1896 killed much of the new wood and severely injured all the trees. The future of olive culture in this district east of Salinas is not yet decided, but the chances much against it. We have tested nearly all the leading varieties here, and have a number of seedlings not yet of bearing age. Excellent results have been reached with the olive at this station (Pomona), and the orchard continues to develop from year to year." Mr. Mills' very intelligent report for the season of 1897-8 is as follows: "The olives began to bloom about the middle of May, and on an average they were in full bloom within a week from the time of the first opening of the flowers. Stray blossoms continue to open until late in July, but none of these produced fruit. The pickling varieties attracted a great deal of attention in this section and growers took all the cuttings and prunings that were available. This was especially true of Sevillano and Ascobano." Wherever the olive tree has been properly cared for and kept free of scale pests by fumigation in Southern California, it is a fruitful money-maker. The Times editor must have been at Paso Robles when writing about olive culture.—C. N. Wilson, in Rural Californian. RANDALL'S ISLAND SLANG. The boys in the Randall's Island (N.Y.) institution for the reformation of juvenile delinquents, have a slang of their own. A "scorf" is a boy who is a big eater of all kinds of food as distinguished from a "chuck scorf," which means a boy who eats quantities of bread. "Snitch" is a telltale, a boy who breaks the unwritten law of all schools not to split on a schoolmate under any circumstances. If one boy refers to another as an "Up" it means that he is a captain or a lieutenant, for the school is military in its training. By the same token a "kid" is a captain or a lieutenant who is of small stature. "Hard Guy" means a particularly tough boy and is a title commanding more or less secret respect. As distinguished from "kid" a "Spud Up" means a captain or a lieutenant who is of large size, "spud" meaning either a big boy or a potato as the case may be. Shoes that are made outside of the institution are called "cities," and "stuff" means tobacco. Smoking is "whiffing," and a match is a "striker." When it is said of a boy that he has "got a goat," it means that he is angry. If he has "a fierce goat" it means he is very angry, in a towering rage, in fact. A "girk" is a second-hand dried chew of tobacco and is in the list of juvenile delinquent treasures. A "rakes" is a boy's chum or closest friend. A Horrible Outbreak. "Of large sores on my little daughter's head developed into a case of scald head" writes C.D.Isbill of Morgantown,Tenn., but Bucklen's Arnica Salve completely cured her.

All nights of autumn to catch him intact. He lies all day in the dence barrel within sound of the settler's at the house, and, though he may no more in the plain, he has only little higher into the hills, a litter in the morning, and a little into the brush. It is but a few years since the present day under the nodding tree at the mouth of the little canopy there with head up to the head and ears pricked for danger, or beneath the sumac along the edge of the pine or under the live oak that had the little parks once so numerate the hills when they were robed for native brush. This was then of the few places of the world that grand sport, still-hunting, is hardy and tricky animal, could be used with any pleasure in the midst summer. In many places the deer comes into the open ground in their except to go to water, where ing is miserable murder. The is so dense they cannot be seen here, while mosquitoes, black flies other pests make it almost impossible to move with that stillness and unnecessary for success. But here freezes make a day in the hills a day, insect pests were practically down, a wide and varied landscape always before one to make every mill a source of pleasure, with a tent temptation to climb the next to see what was beyond it, even there were no game on it. Then you follow the track of deer with no fear of finding some granger's boy middle of it with a five-dollar murder necessary or having some tenderfoot at you for a deer. You could find tracks at almost every spring in morning, have them all to yourself one day, and when at last you were enough to rouse the deer that them, you might have the highest skill with the rifle that is called forth. For the mule deer this country is a bounding deer. His son is a richochet, which, combined with the speed of his forward motion, makes the most puzzling of all marks which to make any calculations. On any or bushy ground he generally goes this to suit the size or angle every new bush or rock, and the glistening undulation his bright coat makes it rises and vanishes in "Hit the Nail On the Head." If you have eruptions, pains in the head or kidneys, stomach trouble and feelings of weariness, "Hit the nail on the head," Hood's Sarsaparilla is the hammer to use. It will purify your blood. The masses praise it for doing this and making the whole body healthy. Hood's Sarsaparilla Never Disappoints THE RIGHT THING TO PUT ON. (Benson's Plaster is Pain's Master.) From the natural impulse to "put something on" a painful spot all applications for the relief of pain have arisen. The most successful have ever been poultices or plasters, and the best of these is Benson's Porous Plaster. No other has anything like the same power as a curative agent; it is highly and scientifically medicated, and its standard is advanced year by year. Use Benson's Plaster for coughs, colds, chest diseases, rheumatism, grip, neuralgia, kidney trouble, lame back, and other ailments that make Winter a season of suffering and danger. It relieves and cures quicker than any other remedy. Do not accept Capsicum, Strengthening or Belladonna plasters in place of Benson's, as they possess none of its curative power. Insist on having the genuine. The people of every civilized land have testified for years to the superlative merit of Benson's Plasters; and 5,000 physicians and druggists of this country have declared them worthy of public confidence. In official comparisons with others, Benson's-Plasters have been honored with fifty-five highest awards.

"Mileage" a Plum. SACRAMENTO, March 22.—The last Assembly in the recent Legislature broke the record for junketing trips. There were over thirty-one of these pleasing jaunts at the expense of the State. The contingent fund of the Assembly was drawn upon for about $12,-500 to pay the mileage of the Assemblymen in traveling all over the State, ostensibly to visit public institutions. The State allows legislators 20 cents a mile, and many of the members made money at that rate, as the railroad fares were far below the amount they drew for mileage. Then there were a number who increased their profits by riding on TOO MUCH exercise is as bad as too little for the rowing girl. It is very easy for her to do, and this is especially dangerous that critical period of a young girl when she crosses the line of womanhood. It is not an uncommon thing to lay the foundation for years of after misery by neglect of necessary precautions at the first "change of life." The use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription not only establishes regularity, but it gives health to the entire womanly organism. It is the best medicine for diseases peculiar to women because it cures the causes of disease completely and permanently. "Favorite Prescrip- Night was Her Terror.

Bull Flaherty's Ribs "Bull" Flaherty, a Chicago saloon keeper made an attempt to slug Fighter Jim Jeffries, but wound up by having a couple of his ribs broken. The encounter took place in front of the Academy of Music. Flaherty had been brooding over the fact that he lost $500 on Tom Sharkey in the latter's fight with Jeffries. He had become pretty well reconciled, however, to the loss of the money up to the time the billboards announced the appearance of the champion at a West Side playhouse. Then it was that Flaherty decided upon what be thought the best way to square things with the man who had humiliated him and incidentally whipped Sharkey. Just as Jeffries stepped out of the main entrance of the Academy, Flaherty stepped in front of him and swung his ponderous right at the jaw of the champion. Surprised into leaving a good opening, Jeffries caught the blow just back of the ear, and it staggered him a bit. Flaherty came back with a hot left, aimed at the same point. Then there was trouble for Flaherty. The champion blocked the second punch, and gathered the large form of the saloon-keeper in his bear-like embrace. When Jeffries' brawny arms closed around Flaherty, the saloon-keeper yelled for help. It came, in the form of a policeman, who pried the men apart, but not before Jeffries had broken two of Flaherty's ribs. Remarkable Cures for Rheumatism. From the Vindicator, Rutherfordton... N.C. The editor of the Vindicator has had occasion to test the efficacy of Chamberlain's Pain Balm twice with the most remarkable results in each case. First, with rheumatism in the shoulder, from which he suffered exercising pain for ten days, which was relieved with two applications of Pain Balm, rubbing the parts afflicted and realizing instant benefit and entire relief in a very short time. Second, in rheumatism in thigh joint, almost prostrating him with severe pain, which was relieved by two applications, rubbing with the liniment on retiring at night, and getting up free from pain.

March 19. After twenty-five years of wandering on the face of the earth Charles Limbert came home to see the family he deserted a quarter of a century ago. Why he left his wife, son and daughter, no one knows, or will ever know. Why the white-haired and bent octogenarian returned is a matter of surmise. It is believed he heard that his aged wife was dying, and that remorse forced him to the bedside of the woman he had so cruelly wronged. He came, and walked into her death chamber. The flickering spirit of life in the dying woman burned brightly for a moment, senses which had been dulled for years became acute, she saw the man of her early life dreams and recognized him. They were hardly locked in each other's embrace when the aged man dropped dead, stricken by apoplexy just as he started to leave the room to summon their children. It has been learned that the man was a ranch owner with property in Colorado. A large amount of currency and some valuable papers were found in his pockets. BIG OIL CONTRACT. The Market-street Railway company of San Francisco has contracted for 25,000 barrels of crude oil per month for a term of three years, following the example of the Union Iron works, which will use 100,000 barrels per year for fuel. It is thought that many corporations using much power and whose coal bills are therefore heavy, will follow the lead of the Union Iron works and Market-street Railway and install oil-burning furnaces. ILLITERATE VOTERS. Fifty Thousand to be Disfranchised in Maryland—Democrats Claim it Makes the State Theirs. The new Maryland election bill having for its object the practical disfranchisement of most of the 50,000 illiterate voters of the State, passed the Senate and House and is now ready for the Governor's signature. The most important action among methods accomplishment of the new law is deriving illiterate voters of the assistance of ballot clerks in preparing their ballots. Under the previous practice these clerks accompanied such voters into the booths and marked their ballots for them, or showed them how to do it. The Democrats claim that this practice utterly destroyed the secrecy of the ballot, and made it possible for corruptionists to learn whether bargains made with corrupt voters had been carried out. The effect of the law is, of course, largely a matter of conjecture, and one upon which the party leaders widely differ. The democrats expect that it will disfranchise about 32,000 negroes and perhaps 16,000 white voters. Of these it is claimed all the negroes and about 50 per cent of the whites vote the Republican ticket. With these out of the way, it is held that the State will be safely Democratic for many years to come, and that the immediate result will be the election of a Democratic Legislature next fall, and of a Democrat to succeed United States Senator Wellington in 1902.

Unless they are kept down, they divert the nutrition which the soil provides from the growing crops and ruin their productivity. Diseases are to the body what weeds are to the soil. They divert the nutrition which is necessary to sound health, and the body, instead of being strong and hardy, drags out a sickly existence. When the stomach is diseased, and the other organs of digestion and nutrition are involved with it, there is a constant loss of nutrition by the body. The stomach and its allied organs are not able to convert the foods into nourishment, and hence the body and its several organs are deprived of the necessary elements of vitality. What is known as "weak" heart or "weak" lungs, "weak" nerves and other forms of so-called weakness, are generally caused by "weak" stomach. When the stomach and the other organs of digestion and nutrition are cured, then the other diseases are cured with it. Diseases which are caused by a diseased condition of the stomach are cured through the stomach. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and its associated organs of digestion and nutrition. It cures through the stomach diseases of heart, lungs, liver and other organs. It increases the activity of the blood-making glands, so that the whole body is nourished by an abundant supply of pure blood, rich in the bright red corpuscles of health. There is no alcohol in "Golden Medical Discovery" and it contains neither opium, cocaine, nor any other narcotic. It is strictly a temperance medicine. Persons suffering from chronic forms of disease are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter free. All correspondence strictly private. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. Suffered for Years. My gratitude to you and your "Golden Medical Discovery" is so great that writes Mr. Ross Martin of Alder, Mason Co., West Virginia, that I am at a loss to find words to express my true feeling. I had suffered for a number of years with lung and throat troubles, and doctored with specialists, but got no better. Then I decided to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. An Old Time English Election. The only contest which occurred at Gatton within historic memory was curious enough. Sir Mark Wood, who had been one of its members for several years, had as his colleague in the parliament of 1812 Sir William Congreve, the inventor of the famous "Congreve rocket." The latter resigned in 1816, and the baronet wished his own son to fill the vacancy. There were only three voters in the constituency. Sir Mark, his son and his butler, named Jennings, but as the son was away and the butter had quarreled with his master an opportunity was afforded for a singular revenge. Jennings refused to second Sir Mark's nomination of his son and proposed himself, and a deadlock was averted only by Sir Mark coming to terms with the refractory butler, whose nomination he seconded in order to induce him to act as seconder to his son. Matters being thus put formally in train, Sir Mark arranged with Jennings that the former's vote should be alone given, and the final state of the poll at Gatton's only known contest stood thus: Wood (Tory), 1; Jennings (Whig), 0.—Westminster Gazette.

War About Water. The San Dimas Irrigation company and the Glendora-Azusa Water company are at war over water rights in the San Gabriel valley. In a suit filed in Los Angeles the other day, the San Dimas company seeks to quiet title to the property, and makes the Glendora-Azusa company defendants. Plaintiff claims to have acquired the water rights to the Dalton portion of the San Jose ranch by a purchase made February 12, 1895. The complaint alleges that plaintiff, January 12, 1901, started to sink a well in the Dalton section, and continued the work until January 19. At that time, it is alleged, during the night, some one presumed to be an agent or servant of defendant corporation, entered the property, destroyed all the work that had been done, and removed the machinery and tools. The work of several days was entirely obliterated. Plaintiff asks that its title to the land be established and that defendants be enjoined from entering the property. It is alleged that the land in dispute contains an abundance of water that can be developed. If troubled with rheumatism, give Chamberlain's Pain Balm a trial.

"I was a sufferer from torpid liver for over a year," writes Mrs. Nora Wilis, of Wheatfield, Jasper Co., Ind., "and could not sleep, nor eat but very little, and then it would cause me great distress. I tried several doctors but got no relief. Was advised by a friend to write to Dr. Pierce, which I did, and in a few days I received a letter advising me to take his 'Golden Medical Discovery', and also his 'Pleasant Pellets'. After I had taken only half a bottle I was improved I only took three bottles of the 'Golden Medical Discovery' and two vials of the 'Pellets', and thanks to Dr. Pierce and his wonderful medicine, I am as well as ever in my life, and feel that life is worth living after all." Last winter I took a severe cold which resulted in pleurisy. Tongue can not tell what I suffered. For two nights and two days I could not move without it nearly killed me. I told my husband I could not endure another night of suffering. The weather was so cold and stormy that it was almost too bad for any one to go six miles to town, but he went, and got a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Extract of Smart-Weed, which gave me instant relief. I can say that for all pain that I have tried it for it has worked like magic. We keep a bottle of the 'Smart-Weed' in the house all the time. I cannot thank Dr. Pierce enough for what he has done for me." Constipation has almost countless consequences. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipation and cure its consequences.
