D. Parsons and D. Grouard, city trustees, came up some days ago before Judge York, sitting for Judge Ballard, who refused, on account of Hill's ill-timed references to him, try the case. The demurrer of defendants, alleging that the complaint was ambiguous and unintelligible in that was not clear whether plaintiff w bringing suit against the municipality or against the trustees as individual and that it did not state grounds suitable to constitute a cause of action, was sustained. Plaintiff was given ten days to amend the complaint. Hill concluded to withdraw the complaint. The Latest Yarn. A Pittsburg drummer tells this yarn: I always carry a bottle of Kemp Balsam in my grip.

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1901. THE PRESIDENT'S WELCOME TO THE GOLDEN STATE. Gov. Gage Extends Cordial Greeting and the Chief Executive Replies in Felleitous Phrase. President McKinley's welcome to California, extended by Governor Gage at Redlands and attested by thousands of Californians, was a model of cordiality and good taste. It was an auspicious beginning of what will be an historic tour and remarkable for the continuous outpouring of popular enthusiasm. Covered with dust gathered through the long night's trip across the desert, the train swept past Indio, the oasis on the sands, past Beaumont, with its handful of cheering citizens, and down San Gorgonio pass to the green fields and orchards of Redlands. Some of the President's party were up at dawn, and saw at Indio the hint of freshness that was to revive them during the brief but pleasant stay at Redlands. The streets had been sprinkled with oil a week before and were smooth and dustless. With the dew still on their petals, thousands upon thousands of roses were scattered along the street that was to be trodden by the four white horses drawing the President's carriage. Overhead strands of bunting, attached to the trolley wires, mingled their colors with the foliage of pepper and orange, and banners and pennants of many hues fluttered in the breeze. The streets began to fill with people in holiday attire. Governor Gage, Senators Perkins and Bard and the scores of other prominent officials and citizens who had come by special train the night before, assembled at Hotel Casa Loma. This place was ablaze with flowers and half hidden in palms. The paraphernalia in the office was disaffection for the Constitution which shelters us all. (Applause.) "California had some trouble in getting into the Union in the early days. That most serious question in the history of the Republic—that of human slavery—deterred for a little while your full connection with the Union of the states, but it came; it came because the earnest, energetic, enterprising, patriotic Americans living on this Coast demanded the right to share not only in the blessings but the burdens of this great Republic. In 1850 the Senators and Representatives from this State applied to the Congress of the United States for admission as a State and representation on the floor of their respective houses, and I want to read you what was said so nobly on that occasion by your distinguished Congressmen when they were appealing for the rights of California before the National Congress: "In thus presenting certified copies of their State Constitution and credentials and asking the admission of the State and that they may be permitted to take their seats in your respective bodies, the undersigned feel that they would neglect an important duty if they failed to assure you of the anxious desire for the perpetuity of this Union, which animates all classes of their constituents. Born and reared under its protecting influences, as most of them were, their patriotism is as broad as the Republic. It extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It is as deep as the current of their mighty rivers, as pure as the never-melting snows which crown their mountains, and is as indestructible as the virgin gold extracted from their soil. Coming, as we nearly all do, from the different states composing the Union, deeply impressed as most of them have been by passing through foreign lands with the immeasurable superiority of American institutions and American character, THE CENTER OF POPULATION Showing How It Has Moved Westward Since the Beginning of the Government A bulletin recently issued by the Census Bureau gives the location of the center of population of the United States, excluding Alaska and the central accessions of territory, on June 1900. In ten years the center of population has moved westward about fourteen miles, and southward about two one-half miles. It rests now in soutern Indiana, at a point about six miles southeast of Columbus, the county seat of Bartholomew county. The center of population is the center of gravity of the country, each individual being assumed to have the same weight. In order that the result may be comparable with those obtained in 1880 and 1890, the population of Alaskan Hawaii, although included in twelfth census, has not been included in the bulletin. The method used in brief as follows: The population of the country first distributed by "square degrees as the area included between consular parallels and meridians has been designated. A point was then assumed tentatively, as the center, and certain in latitude and longitude to tentative position were computed. This case the center was assumed to at the intersection of the parallel degrees north with the meridian degree west of Greenwich. The population of each square degree was summed to be located at the center that square degree, except in where it was manifest that this assumption would be untrue, as, for instance, where a part of the square degree occupied by the sea or other large body of water, or where contained a considerable magnitude which TO San Bernardino count of Merchant's Free Street nival and Floral Parade and eighth Agricultural District San Fe rate to San Bernardino on May 13th to 18th, inclusive. mit, May 20th.

Overhead strands of bunting, attached to the trolley wires, mingled their colors with the foliage of pepper and orange, and banners and pennants of many hues fluttered in the breeze. The streets began to fill with people in holiday attire. Governor Gage, Senators Perkins and Bard and the scores of other prominent officials and citizens who had come by special train the night before, assembled at Hotel Casa Loma. This place was ablaze with flowers and half hidden in palms. The paraphernalia in the office was displaced by a fragrant bank of roses. At 9:30, promptly on time, the President's train drew into town and halted in a mass of people. Cheer upon cheer broke from the crowd as the President, Mrs. McKinley, members of the Cabinet and guests alighted. Governor Gage and the Senators and members of Congress met the party in the hotel rotunda. Introductions to the President and Cabinet members occupied but a moment. The party was led to the balcony facing the crowd that had quickly filled the reserve space fronting the hotel. Then the rousing California cheer was given in all its strength. The President was evidently in the best of spirits and accepted the noisy demonstration by bowing repeatedly and smiling before taking his seat. Mrs. McKinley withdrew with several of the ladies of the party and was not on the balcony during the addresses. Beside the President sat Governor Gage, and with him Secretary Hay, Secretary Hitchcock, Postmaster-General Smith, Secretary Wilson and the other members of the President's party. On the stand also were Mrs. Gage and Mrs. Hay, immediately in front of Speaker Pendleton and wife. Mayor Fowler introduced Governor Gage who arose promptly, amid a burst of applause, and spoke as follows: "Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen:—I have the high honor, as well as the great pleasure, on behalf of the people of the State of California, to most sincerely welcome you to our State. This heartfelt greeting, extended to you by the people of the State of California on this occasion, is accompanied by a public pride in part arising from the consciousness that, notwithstanding the great dividing mountains and broad rivers and lines denoting many different Statehoods, and that thousands of miles separate us from the Nation's capital, still distance from the official center has neither checked the loyalty nor cooled the patriotism of Californians. (Applause.) And the people of this state bear witness here today, that California is an inseparable part of that great Nation, whose patriotic spirit centers at Washington and radiates and reflects the unabated love and loyalty of a happy and contented people for the American flag and for the grand Constitution of this Republic. (Applause.) Grateful for the blessings of equal rights, guaranteed under that Constitution, and glorying in the great history of our country, which the grand National Administration has extended and enlarged and sent you came from every stituents. Born and reared under its protecting influences, as most of them were, their patriotism is as broad as the Republic. It extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It is as deep as the current of their mighty rivers, as pure as the never-melting snows which crown their mountains, and is indestructible as the virgin gold extracted from their soil. Coming, as we nearly all do, from the different states composing the Union, deeply impressed as most of them have been by passing through foreign lands with the immeasureable superiority of American institutions and American character, it would be strange indeed if they did not turn with reverence and affection toward their country, its institutions and its people. "Possessed, too, in a remarkable degree, of intelligence, enterprise and ability, rich in high moral qualities, industrious, energetic and honest, firm in their devotion to order and justice, they compose a community which has no superiors in the elements which constitute a citizen's glory and a Nation's greatness. This people request admission into the American Union as a State. They understand and estimate the advantages which will accrue to them from such a connection, while they trust they do not too highly compute those which will be conferred upon their brethren. They do not present themselves as supplianta, nor do they bear themselves with arrogance or presumption. They come as free American citizens, citizens by treaty, by adoption and by birth, and ask that they be permitted to reap the common benefits, share the common illies and promote the common welfare as one of United States of America.' (Applause.) "California helped to save the Union more than thirty years ago. Her soldiers fought and fell on the battle fields of this Republic, and assisted to preserve the Union—the best republic on the face of the earth, representing the best hopes of humanity everywhere. California, in our recent war with Spain, was quick to respond to the call of the Executive, and California volunteers in the Philippines added new glory to our flag. This Republic never can fail, so long as the citizen is vigilant. This Republic can never fail, said Jefferson a hundred years ago, when every citizen is ready to respond to the call of his country. But, my fellow-citizens, our triumphs are those of a free, self-governing people, looking to the development and upbuilding and extension of liberty to the human race. We have problems on our hands, but the American people never ran away from a difficult question nor from a well-defined duty. We will meet those problems in the fear of God, and will carry and maintain the blessings of liberty wherever our glorious banner floats. My fellow-citizens, no greeting could have been more grateful to me than that which you bring as I enter the State of California, a State of heroic and historic memories; a territory that governed itself without law without courts, without governors, by the virtue and force of an elevated public sentiment. And you came from every tentatively, as the center, and contests in latitude and longitude to this tentative position were computed; this case the center was assumed to at the intersection of the parallel degrees north with the meridian east degrees west of Greenwich. The population of each square degree was summed to be located at the center where it was manifest that this assumption would be untrue; as for instance where a part of the square degree occupied by the sea or other large body of water; or where it contained a considerable magnitude which situated "off center." In these cases the position of the center of the population of the square degree was estimated as nearly as possible. The slightest distances between each such cell (whether assumed to be at), or at distance from, the center of the square degree) and the assumed parallel meridian were obtained. The population of each square degree was multiplied by the shortest distance from this sumed parallel of latitude,and sums of products,或 moments,tand south of that parallel were obedient Their difference，divided by their total population ofthe country,gave correction tothe latitudeofthe sumed centerofpopulation.Ina lar manner,the east and west most were obtained,and from them an erection tothe longitudeofthe asses centerafterthe center was obtained.

It appears to have been part to the addition of Florida territory, and in part to the greatest tension of settlements in Alaska Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas or generally, it may be said Southwest. From 1830 to 1840 it moved stuther westward, but slightly chiets its direction northward, reachpoint 16 miles south of Clarksville the present State of West Virginia. During this decade settlement made decided advances in the States and in the southern port Michigan and Wisconsin, the boof increased settlement evidencing in favor of the Northwest. From 1840 to 1850 it moved west and slightly southward again, reapoint about 23 miles southeastern Parkersburg, in the present State West Virginia, the change of town southward being largely due annexation of Texas. From 1850 to 1860 it moved west and slightly northward. Reachpoint 20 miles south of Chilliwack Ohio. From 1860 to 1870 it moved west and sharply northward. Reachpoint about 48 miles southeastern Parkersburg, in the present State West Virginia, the change of town southward being largely due annexation of Texas. In 1880 the center of population returned southward to nearly the latitude which it had in 1860 southward movement was due part to an imperfect enumeration of the South in 1870. During this year from 1870 to 1880 the southern made a large positive increase from natural growth and from southward. In 1890 the center of population moved northward into practice same latitude it occupied in 1870 northward movement was larger to the great development in that of the Northwest and in the Washington, and also to the new population in New England. During the past decade the opepopulation has moved westward CENTER OF POPULATION. How It Has Moved Westward since the Beginning of the Government. Bulletin recently issued by the Bureau gives the location of center of population of the United States excluding Alaska and the recessions of territory, on June 1, ten years the center of population moved westward about fourteen and southward about two and half miles. It rests now in south-westlana, at a point about six miles east of Columbus, the county seat tholomew county. The center of population is the center city of the country, each indiviing assumed to have the same. In order that the result might parable with those obtained in and 1890, the population of Alaska Hawaii, although included in the census, has not been included bulletin. The method used was as follows: The population of the country was distributed by "square degrees," area included between consecuallels and meridians has been stated. A point was then assumed, lovely, as the center, and correclat latitude and longitude to this five position were computed. In case the center was assumed to be intersection of the parallel 39 as north with the meridian of 86 as west of Greenwich. The populof each square degree was as to be located at the center of square degree, except in cases it was manifest that this assumption could be untrue, as, for instance, a part of the square degree was used by the sea or other large body water, or where it contained a city considerable magnitude which was over 14 miles, and southward a little less than three miles. This is the smallest movement that has ever been noted. The slight southward movement is due largely to the great increase in population of the Indian Territory, Oklahoma and Texas, while the great decrease in the westward movement of the center is, undoubtedly, due to the large increase in the population of the North Atlantic States. It also shows that the population of the Western States has not increased as rapidly as in former decades. The closeness with which the center of population, through its rapid westward movement, has clung to the parallel of 39 degrees of latitude can not fail to be noticed. The most northern point reached was at the start in 1790; the most southern point was in 1830, the preceding decade having witnessed a rapid development in the Southwest—Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana having been admitted as States, and Florida annexed and organized as a Territory. The extreme variation in latitude has been less than 19 minutes, while the hundred and ten years of record have accomplished a movement in longitude of a little over 9.5 degrees. Assuming the westward movement to have been uniformly along the parallel of 39 degrees of latitude, the westward movement of the several decades has been as follows: 1790—1800, 41 miles; 1800—1810, 36 miles; 1810—1820, 50 miles; 1820—1830, 39 miles; 1830—1840, 55 miles; 1840—1850, 55 miles; 1850—1860, 81 miles; 1860—1870, 42 miles; 1870—1880, 58 miles; 1880—1890, 48 miles; 1890—1900, 14 miles. This is a total westward movement of 519 miles since 1790. The sudden acceleration of movement between 1850 and 1860 was due to the transfer of a considerable body of population from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, twelve individuals in San Francisco exerting as much pressure at the then pivotal point namely, the cross- HOME MECHANICS AWARDED THE CONTRACT McWilliams & Dunn Successful Bidders for the Erection of the New High School. The School Trustees on Friday evening last opened six bids for the erection of the new high school building to be erected in this city as follows: McWilliams & Dunn, Anaheim—$12,-663.75. G. E. Preble, Tnstin—$13,244. C. H. Smith & J. W. Conliff, Fullerton—$12,392. Henry Albrecht, Anaheim—$13,460. G. Fritz, Los Angeles—$14,000. Murphy & McMellan, Los Angeles—$14,300. The board determined, notwithstanding the fact that the bid of Smith & Conliff of Fullerton was lower by some $271, to award the contract to McWilliams & Dunn, home contractors. On a vote being taken, it was unanimously decided to take such action, and accordingly the contract was awarded that firm. The successful bidders are known as among the most expert contractors in Southern California. That the erection of the building will be conscientiously and thoroughly done, goes without saying. Ground was broken for the building on Tuesday. Bolsa Drainage District. The case of Justice vs. Robinson (tax collector), involving the legality of the Bolsa Drainage district taxes, came up for trial some days ago before the Superior Court, Judge Ballard presiding. Plaintiff was called to the witness stand when counsel on behalf of defendant objected to the introduction of any evidence on the grounds— First—That the complaint herein does not state facts sufficient to constitute a APRICOTS PROMISE LIGHTCROP R. G. Dun & Co.'s Monthly Review of Trade Conditions for April in Southern California. Favorable crop reports, heavy bank clearings, record breaking railroad earnings, and great activity in general trade make for the past month very healthy business conditions. Prices for merchandise held well and activity and strength characterized the security market. In our immediate district the late rains changed materially the agricultural and horticultural outlook. While in some respects the benefits of rainfall would have been greater had it come a few weeks earlier, and no injury would have resulted, yet the benefits more than offset injury. Damage was to hay which had been cut and heavy standing grain which was beaten down. Crops of late sown grain and hay will be greatly increased. The beet-crop was in just the proper condition to receive maximum benefit from rain and will cause some increase of acreage in all beet growing districts. Increased tonage for Chino factory an account of rain is put at from 30 to 50 per cent. At Oxnard dare planted from 13,000 to 14,000 acres. There is every reason to believe sugar campaign in Southern California this season will be satisfactory. Advantage of rain to fruit crop and to honey crop is difficult to estimate, but it is not small. Citrus fruit shipments for season have reached nearly 18,000 carloads, but prices have ruled unsatisfactory. There are many still on trees. Eastern markets have a little firmer tone and an upward tendency. Growth of deciduous fruits and nuts advancing rapidly. Apricots will be a light crop. Peaches estimate little more than half normal output. Walnuts promise excellent crop. Almonds scarce. Bean market quiet. In cured fruit market no important change. A few goods are moving in a jobbing way at unchanged prices. Much interest is being shown in honey crop. Beemen ask 5 to 6 cents for new honey, buyers expect lower prices. Locally business is good in all lines, both wholesale and retail. Clearances 38 per cent increase over last April. Building continues active. A larger number of per mile issued for month of Bolsa Drainage District. The case of Justice vs. Robinson (tax collector), involving the legality of the Bolsa Drainage district taxes, came up for trial some days ago before the Superior Court, Judge Ballard presiding. Plaintiff was called to the witness stand, when counsel on behalf of defendant objected to the introduction of any evidence on the grounds— First—That the complaint herein does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action against the defendant. Second—That the notice of protest, which is the foundation of plaintiff's action, does not state any ground which entitles plaintiff to recover the taxes paid thereunder. Third—That the complaint does not ask for the recovery of said taxes upon any ground stated in said notice of protest, except upon the ground that the act under which said taxes were collected was illegal and void and the ground is not sufficient to entitle plaintiff to recover. Judge Ballard after listening to arguments sustained the objections and the case was dismissed. Methever Hanged. E.V.Methever was hanged at San Quentin at 10:30 Friday morning. There was no hitch in the execution. The doomed man was calm to the last. The crime for which Methever suffered the extreme penalty of the law was committed on July 25, 1899. On that day he cruelly murdered Dorothy McKee at Long Beach. She was 23 years old, while Methever was in the sixties. Methever was a shoemaker and went to Long Beach in the spring and opened a small store in a part of the building in which Miss McKee's mother kept a delicacy store. The old man paid some attention to Miss McKee and she had been a good friend, called him "Father" and tended shop occasionally. The night before the murder, Dorothy accepted the invitation of a young man to accompany him on a walk. This action excited the jealousy of Methever. The next morning Miss McKee and a friend from Los Angeles went for a bicycle ride. As they were riding along the beach Methever rode up, ran his wheel into that ridden by Miss McKee and shot her, killing her instantly. He then placed the revolver at his own head and fired, inflicting a wound from which he did not recover for several weeks, and which caused him to lose his right eye. Methever was found guilty of murder in the first degree and was sentenced to hang. An appeal to the Supreme Court resulted a few weeks ago in the affirmation of the verdict and the murder was sentenced April 30. His defense was that he had suffered from a sunstroke a few days before and had taken whisky and drugs until he was insane. Old Soldier's Experience. M.M.Austin, a Civil war veteran, of Winchester, Ind., writes: "My wife was sick a long time in spite of good doctor's treatment, but was wholly It appears to have been due in to the addition of Florida to our history, and in part to the great extension of settlements in Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas, generally, it may be said, in the northwest. From 1830 to 1840 it moved still farther westward, but slightly changed direction northward, reaching a point 16 miles south of Clarksburg, in the present State of West Virginia. Being this decade settlement had made decided advances in the prarie States and in the southern portions of Michigan and Wisconsin, the balance increased settlement evidently betained favor of the Northwest. From 1840 to 1850 it moved westward slightly southward again, reaching a point about 23 miles southeast of Jackersburg, in the present State of West Virginia, the change of direction southward being largely due to the examination of Texas. From 1850 to 1860 it moved westward slightly northward, reaching a point about 48 miles east by north of Cincinnati, Ohio. This northward movement was due in part to waste and distruction in the South, consequent on the civil war, and in part, probably to the fact that the census of 1870 was defective in its enumeration of the southern people, especially of the newmenfranchised negro population. In 1880 the center of population had turned southward to nearly the same latitude which it had in 1860. This northward movement was due only in part to an imperfect enumeration at the South in 1870. During the decade from 1870 to 1880 the southern States made a large positive increase, both from natural growth and from migration southward. In 1890 the center of population had turned northward into practically the same latitude it occupied in 1870. This northward movement was largely due to the great development in the cities of the Northwest and in the State of Washington, and also to the increase population in New England. During the past decade the center of population has moved westward a little Water Companies' Litigation. The case of the Rincon Water and Power company vs. the A. U. W. Co. and the S. A. V. I. Co. was called in the United States circuit court in Los Angeles on Monday, the 6th. The attorneys for the respective sides responded. Four weeks time was given the defense to prepare and file its demurrer or answer. In the case of the A. U. W. Co. and the S. A. V. I. Co. vs. O. B. Fuller et al., in the Riverside superior court, Judge Noyes called in Judge Campbell of San Bernardino, who permitted the complaint to be amended as moved by the companies' attorneys. "It is with a good deal of pleasure and satisfaction that I recommend Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy," says Druggist A. W. Sawtelle of Hartford, Conn. "A lady customer, seeing the remedy exposed for sale on my show case, said to me: 'I really believe that medicine saved my life the past summer while at the shore,' and she became so enthusiastic over its merits that I at once made up my mind to recommend it in the future. Recently a gentleman came into my store so overcome with colic pains that he sank at once to the floor. I gave him a dose of this remedy which helped him. I repeated the dose and in fifteen minutes he left my store smilingly informing me that he felt as well as ever." Sold by P. A. Derge, druggist.
