An article in a Spanish journal, translated and forwarded by our Consul at Valencia, deplores the loss of Spanish trade in fruits and vegetables as the result of the competition of California. Not only have we shut their raisins out of the markets of the United States, but it is stated that our fruits and vegetables are actually displacing Spanish products in European markets which Spain might consider as peculiarly her own. The Spanish paper is, of course, in error in supposing that California is exporting large quantities of "fresh" vegetables to Europe, although it is possible that we may be sending some, but there is no question of the gradual encroachment of our fresh fruits on European markets. Whenever the European fruit crop is poor we shall henceforth send those countries liberal supplies of the less perishable fruits. Our apple trade is large and seems assured regardless of European competition. We shall probably soon begin the regular export of oranges, and, later, of lemons. The Spanish paper quoted is doubtless correct in ascribing no small part of our success to excellence in packing. This, however, must not lead us to deceive ourselves into the belief that we can make no improvements in packing or even that all our fruit is well packed. It may be assumed that all fresh fruit which reaches Europe is well packed, for no one would risk sending poorly packed fruit to markets so distant. Many of our growers, however, do not do the best they know how, and this year there is a concerted effort in the trade to discriminate against fruit poorly packed for any market. But it is true that our best growers and shippers do pack admirably, and that we are leading the world in safe and attractive packages for shipping fruit to distant markets. We have no ill-will to Spain. There is perhaps no country whose people we should be less eager to displace in any market, and yet it is pleasant to see the superior quality of our own fruits acknowledged even by our competitors, and to note the commercial enterprise of our citizens which is so prompt to push our advantages—Chronicle.

ADAMS ADAMS SARSAPARILLA STOMACH LIVER PILLS VERY SMALL ADAMS CURE SICK HEADACHE CONSTIPATION BILIOUSNESS DYSPEPSIA PURIFY THE BLOOD. ADAMS ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, MAY 30, 1901. PLACENTIA SPOOKVILLE REDIDIVUS. Many Recall the Time when Dr. Schlessinger Enacted the Role of a Ghost to Frighten Wealthy Ranchers into Joining the Society. The Societas Fraternia at Placentia is again before the public in an unenviable role—that of explaining away the mystery of a man who has mysteriously disappeared, and who at one time some days ago was thought to have been murdered. The society is now under suspicion, on account of the mysterious disappearance of Ross Widdihold, a former inmate of the place, who recently returned after a two years' absence in Oregon. The missing man is 22 years old and a son of an old man named Widdihold, who with his wife and three children are members of the grass-eating society. When Ross left there was an elder brother also, and on his return he went to the place of a man named Ortega, who lived near by, and who had always been his friend, and told him he wanted to go and get his brother away, as he was afraid the colonists would starve his to death. Ortega advised him not to go, but the following day, the 5th of May, Ross said he was determined to see about his brother, and started for the Hinde place, promising to return and go to work for Ortega. As he did not again appear Ortega went to the colonists on the 6th and demanded to know whether Ross was on the premises, and was informed by the elder Widdihold that he had driven his son from the place. Since that date no one can be found who has seen anything of young Widdihold except Disciple. Oakland, where he was seen one day in a restaurant attacking a large, juicy porter-house steak. A month or so ago he was again heard of in Tennessee, where he advertised himself as a spirit medium. Relative to the statement printed in the Los Angeles papers to the effect that Sheriff Lacy had made the statement that the body of Widdihold "had been interred on the permit of an Anaheim physician, who had never seen the body," Dr. Bickford, Health Officer of this city, who issued the permit, says: "I am the physician referred to by the Sheriff. I issued the burial permit. The death certificate was issued by a Long Beach physician, who attended the case. It was not necessary for me as Health Officer to see the corpse. The certificate of the attending physician is all the law requires, and Sheriff Lacy should not have sought to magnify the charge against these people by the statement attributed to him. "My connection with the case was all straight and regular and within the requirements of the law. Widdihold died at Long Beach from Bright's disease and dropsy. His body was brought to Placentia, and these people applied for a burial permit, which I granted them. Their actions were fair, and legal and they have attempted to conceal nothing." Relative to the case of Ross Widdihold, the Doctor said he knew nothing and cared nothing. NOTABLE WORDS TO WORKMEN. Significant Reference to Expansion by the President at the Union Iron Works. President McKinley addressed 4500 employees of the Union Iron works the day the battle-ship Ohio was launched. The speech was punctuated with great cheering. With the threat of a great strike impending, the President's words to the workingmen had an added significance, and his reference to expansion and other national questions make his speech in every respect a notable one. He said: "My Fellow Citizens—I am inexpressibly thankful to the Ruler of us all for his goodness and his mercy, which have made it possible for me to be with you here today. I have wanted to see the men of the Union Iron works; I have known of their skill; I have seen their genius displayed in their workmanship; I have observed, as your spokesman has so well said, that, suffering under the disadvantages of fuel, and, indeed, thousands of miles away from the raw materials which go to make a ship, you have yet preserved and triumphed, and made as good ships as have ever sailed the seas (Great applause.)" "I am glad to be among these workmen. I have been glad to be in the city of San Francisco, and, while I have not been able to meet all her people I have been able to meet tens of thousands of them, and have heard their cheers for our country, have seen their smiling faces, and have observed that peace and contentment which has been everywhere manifest upon the faces of the people as we have taken our long journey from the Atlantic t METOR.

Ortega advised him not to go, but the following day, the 5th of May, Ross said he was determined to see about his brother, and started for the Hinde place, promising to return and go to work for Ortega. As he did not again appear Ortega went to the colonists on the 6th and demanded to know whether Ross was on the premises, and was informed by the elder Widdihold that he had driven his son from the place. Since that date no one can be found who has seen anything of young Widdihold except District Attorney Williams, who thinks he called to see him some days thereafter concerning the matter. Williams is not positive about the date. The people in the neighborhood of the colony gradually became aroused over the case, until W. D. Dewey made application for a writ of habeas corpus to bring the young man or his body from the place and also to bring an old man named Thales and George Hinde, inmates of the place, before the court, on a charge of illegally restraining Widdihold of his liberty, whereby he may suffer irreparable injury. Sheriff Lacy drove to the place and made a thorough search of the premises, but no trace of young Widdihold could be found. The father admitted that the young man had been there on the 5th, but said that he drove him away. He also said that the elder brother died in Long Beach last November and was buried in an orchard. A Long Beach physician attended the invalid, who, it is claimed died of dropy. Dewey is quite positite he saw this older brother about the place since November. There are now at the colony George Hinde, Thales and another single man, Widdihold and his wife and three children, two young ladies, two little girls and an old lady, said to be a nurse. Two children have been born on the place, and both have died, while one of the young ladies there now is barely able to stand. Nine persons have died and were buried on the place. Two years ago a daughter of George Hinde drowned herself in the Tuffree reservoir on account of Thales' persistent attentions. The colony is not only vegetarian, but its inmates are spiritualists, and claim they were apprised of Sheriff Lacy's coming by spirits with whom they are in constant communication. The sheriff is puzzled over the appearance of young Widdihold. The so-called Societas Fraternia came into public notice along about 1877, when the society was dominated by one Dr. Schlessinger, who professed to be a vegetarian and spiritualist. Considerable excitement was occasioned by the appearance of "ghosts," upon the plains near the society's place. Every night for a time these wierd manifestations would appear. Schlessinger had determined upon securing a certain wealthy resident of the section as a member of his society. The old man refused to join, and the "ghosts" were improvised to attest the fact of their displeasure, and dire forebodings were predicted relative to the Placeia, and these people applied for a burial permit, which I granted them. Their actions were fair, and legal and they have attempted to conceal nothing." Relative to the case of Ross Widdihold, the Doctor said he knew nothing and cared nothing. FAKE CLUBSON QUEER STREET Judge Ballard Has no Mercy For Associations Formed to Evade the Law. Judge Ballard on Friday rendered his decision in the Lymburner saloon case, on appeal from a verdict of guilty and a judgment of $150 fine in Justice Wilson's court. The Judge decides against Lymburner. The case has generally been considered a test on the county anti-saloon ordinance and other saloon men in Fullerton have anxiously awaited the judge's decision. Lymburner himself has sold out and will leave the country, and three other saloons in Fullerton, which were opened in defiance of the ordinance under the assumed privileges of clubs, have closed, but it is understood would re-open in case Judge Ballard's decision was favorable to Lymburner. Judge Ballard has left no footing for saloon men in the unincorporated towns of Orange county, and he indicates plainly enough that "fake" clubs will find but little mercy in his court. In rendering his decision, after reciting numerous authorities, Judge Ballard said: "My conclusion, therefore, is that the complaint is sufficient in this case, and there was no error in the ruling of the lower court in overruling the motion in arrest of judgment. The only question I think necessary for me to notice is as to whether the evidence is sufficient to support the verdict of guilt. "There are decisions holding that bona-fide social clubs are not required to take out license under such ordinances: but the rule seems to be well established that where the evidence shows that the so-called club was but a pretense and fraudulent device to evade the law it will not avail as a defense upon proof of a violation of the law. "In this case the evidence shows clearly that this so-called club, which this defendant claims he was connected with, and in fact in charge of as steward, was a fraudulent club and a mere device to relieve it from the force and effect of the ordinance of the county. It appears that any person could become a member of this so-called club practically without distinction as to race, color or previous condition of servitude, upon application and payment of a few cents eo instanti. That persons not members had been and could be at any time apparently served with liquid refreshments. "The evidence so clearly establishes the fact that this so-called club is a more attempt to evade the law that I do not deem it necessary to discuss the question as to the rights and responsibilities of clubs organized for social purposes, and connected therewith with furnishing of liquors, the selling or giving away of which is prohibited or regulated by law. I think the evidence" "I am glad to be among these working men. I have been glad to be in the city of San Francisco, and, while I have not been able to meet all her people I have been able to meet tens o' thousands of them, and have heard their cheers for our country, have seen their smiling faces, and have observed that peace and contentment which have been everywhere manifest upon their faces of the people as we have taken our long journey from the Atlantic town to the Pacific. (Applause.)" "I met this morning one of the returning transports as we came to your works, carrying the 46th and 42nd United States Volunteers. It did my heart good to welcome those brave defenders of our honor and of the flame back to the Golden State. (Applause.)" "My fellow citizens, you have no idea how dee ply touched I have been in the last three years and a half by the loyal patriotism of the people on San Francisco. My mind and my heart have been here; for it was here we organized first expedition tothe Philippine Islands. It was here, under command of Gen. Merritt, that they great army was assembled and started out upon the ocean, none of us knowing what might happen to them; but all knowing that the national home was safe in their keeping; and I am member that the people of San Francisco gave them their blessing when they departed and then their benefaction when they returned again. (Applause.)" "As the head of the nation, I want thank you for a moment that it was your skill and genius made me the Oregon. (Applause.) And I want to make special reference and acknowledgment. I may not have another opportunity; you are gallant 1st California Volunteer that was among the first in the flee and almost last to leave it; and performed conspicuous and gallant service in the campaign in the Philippine Islands." "No one can stand surrounded by these workingmen of this great establishment without recalling the splendid work done by his ships you have built; and their priceless services to our country. When Admiral Dewey directed to go Manila and destined tothe Spanish fleet, or capture it; made the Olympia, which you build his flagship; and his command; directed from that ship; performed one of most brilliant achievements in annals of the American navy." (Applause.)" "Nor can we forget for a moment that it was your skill and genius made me the Oregon. (Applause.) And I want to make special references for your works; carrying the 46th and 42nd United States Volunteers. It did my heart good to welcome those brave defenders of our honor and of the flame back tothe Golden State. (Applause.)" "I am glad to be among these working men.

With a yell the young men up and hiked after the ghosts, calling upon them to stop or they would shoot. The ghosts made for a shepherd's cabin near by. The ghost-catchers made after them with all haste, and soon reached the shanty, where, lo and behold! Dr. Schlessinger was discovered astride a burro, with balls of kerosene-saturated cotton in his hands. He was seized while some of the younger members of the party suggested giving him a threshing. He protested that he had no connection with the ghostly visitations of the previous nights, and was only out for sport. He was told to leave the country on pain of tar and feathers. A short time thereafter he departed. He went to come into public notice along about 1877, when the society was dominated by one Dr. Schlessinger, who professed to be a vegetarian and spiritualist. Considerable excitement was occasioned by the appearance of "ghosts," upon the plains near the society's place. Every night for a time these wierd manifestations would appear. Schlessinger had determined upon securing a certain wealthy resident of the section as a member of his society. The old man refused to join, and the "ghosts" were improvised to attest the fact of their displeasure, and dire forebodings were predicted relative to the disasters to come upon the house of the farmer if he should persist in disobeying the spirit's warnings. The ghosts appeared several nights, and in some quarters mild consternation existed over the wierd manifestations. Balls of fire were seen each night meandering over the plains, accompanied by deep-voiced sepulchral groans. A party of young men put out from this city to investigate these ghosts. The night was one of inky darkness. The watchers posted themselves at point where the "spirits" had been want to gambol over the sward, and waited. They had about given up the idea of seeing any ghosts that night, when along toward midnight, the barking of the shepherd's dogs near by gave token that something was up. Suddenly two bright lights burst forth, some distance away, and swept majestically over the plains. The clattering hoofs of an animal as if galloping sounded upon their ears. The lights seemed to be in close proximity to the horse, or whatever the ghosts were riding. With a yell the young men up and hiked after the ghosts, calling upon them to stop or they would shoot. The ghosts made for a shepherd's cabin near by. The ghost-catchers made after them with all haste, and soon reached the shanty, where, lo and behold!

At McKinley addressed 4500 of the Union Iron works in the battle-ship Ohio was the speech was punctuat-great cheering. With the great strike impending, the words to the workingmen had significance, and his re-expansion and other national make his speech in every notable one. He said: " fellow Citizens—I am inex-hankful to the Ruler of us has goodness and his mercy, he made it possible for me to you here today.

(Applause.) There is nothing in this world that brings people so close together as commerce. There is nothing in this world that so much promotes the universal brotherhood of man as commerce, and we want to encourage commerce. The nations are close together now. The powers of the earth are allied together. We not only want a commercial line, but we want a cable line from here to the Philippines. (Applause.) We want it to be an American cable (applause), that can not be cut by any power in the world. (Applause.) They say trade follows the flag. The telegraph must follow trade. (Applause.) "My fellow citizens, we have great problems before us. We never had more important ones. We have expanded. Do you want to contract? (Cries of 'No.') It is not a question of whether we will acquire the Philippines, or Porto Rico, or Guam, or Wake Island, or Hawaii, or Tutaila. We have acquired them. They are ours. The question is. Shall we give them up? (General cry of 'No.') And from one end of this country to the other comes the answer. They are ours, not to subjugate, but to emancipate: not to rule in the power of the might, but to teach those distant people the principles of liberty, of freedom of conscience and of opportunity that are enjoyed by the people of the United States. (Great applause.) "Our flag never goes anywhere except it carries blessings. (Applause.) Our flag never oppressed anybody, but it has given freedom to every people over whom it has floated. (Applause.) "Having said this much, I only want to thank you all for this most cordial welcome. I am glad again to meet the workingmen of my country. All LOCAL NOTES OF INTEREST Sugar Beets. Senator Jones informs us that up to this week 1600 acres of beets have been thinned in this vicinity for the Chino factory; 2300 acres were planted and 2000 acres will be thinned. Beyond Norwalk—at Compton, Florence, Clear-water and Long Beach—there are 2000 additional acres, making 4000 acres to supply the factory at Chino, where only about 3500 acres are in beets this year. The Senator thinks that all of this 4000 acres will produce ten tons of beets per acre, and that 40,000 tons will be shipped to the factory. At $5 per ton this will bring in quite a tidy sum. The price paid is $4.25 per ton for beets of all degrees of saccharine up to 15 per cent. Over 15, 25 cents for each additional per cent. All beets will be accepted; but those of 5 pounds weight which fall below 15 per cent are subject to a penalty of 25 cents per ton for each percentage below that figure. Freight on beets is paid by the factory. Prices hitherto have been $3.50 for 12 per cent beets; 25 cents per ton additional for each percentage over 12, and a penalty of 50 cents for each percentage below 12. The crop is looking well, and there are already a plenty of beets weighing 2 or 3 pounds. Beet farmers are strictly in it this year. Railway Talk. The Santa Ana and Orange Motor company last week transferred all its franchises, including those of the proposed new electric line between Santa Ana and Los Angeles, via Orange, Anaheim, Fullerton and Whittier, together with all rolling stock, barns, and other equipages to the Interurban Railway. I will transcribe the text content from the image. In this morning one of the retransports as we came to your carrying the 46th and 42d States Volunteers. It did my duty to give those brave deeds of our honor and of the flag of the Golden State. (Applause.) Yellow citizens, you have no dee ply touched I have been past three years and a half by patriotism of the people of Francisco. My mind and my heart been here, for it was here organized the first expedition to the Santa Islands. It was here, under the lead of Gen. Merritt, that army was assembled and started at the ocean, none of us know it might happen to them, but seeing that the national honor lies in their keeping; and I remember that the people of San Francisco them their blessing when departed and then their benefice they returned again. (Appeal) The head of the nation, I want to the people of this coast for their work during the Spanish war. And I want to make speeches and acknowledgment, for not have another opportunity, to plant 1st California Volunteers, is among the first in the field, most the last to leave it, and per conspicuous and gallant service campaign in the Philippine island can stand surrounded by the men of this great establishment without recalling the splendid one by the ships you have built their priceless services to the war. When Admiral Dewey was led to go to Manila and destroy Spanish fleet, or capture it, he the Olympia, which you built, ship; and his command, directed that ship, performed one of the brilliant achievements in the war of the American navy. (Applause) We can we forget for a moment was your skill and genius that the Oregon. (Applause and cheers for the Oregon.) The anxiety waiting will never be when the Oregon started to fleet at Santiago. Days and heard not one word from her. He had confidence in the stout ship had built, and we had confidence in gallant officer, Capt. Clark, who handed it. (Applause.) And I never forget the early morning Capt. Clark telegraphed from ours, not to subjugate, but to emancipate: not to rule in the power of the might, but to teach those distant people the principles of liberty, of freedom of conscience and of opportunity that are enjoyed by the people of the United States.

All my public life has been devoted in effort to give the workingmen the best opportunity, the best chance for good wages and steady employment. (Great applause.) When labor is well employed there is contentment and happiness in the homes of the laboring men. Let us do our duty, the great public duty, that confronts us; let us do it walking humbly before God, dealing justly and mercifully and always asking his favor and guidance. "Let me say that I shall carry this beautiful souvenir of the employees of the Union works with me, and it shall abide with me so long as I live, and shall be passed along to those of my family that shall follow as one of the dearest tokens I have ever received from my fellow countrymen." (Enthusiastic applause.) Free Delivery. Seventy-eight rural free delivery routes were established in one day recently. The returns received at the postoffice department indicate that there are 3785 routes in operation in the United States. It is estimated at the department that 116 more routes can be established before June 1, and that an addition of 400 will be made between that date and July 1. It is the plan of the department to have 4300 in operation on the last-named date, which is the beginning of the fiscal year. When this is accomplished, it will require an appropriation of $2,580,000 for maintenance alone during the next year, as the cost of each route amounts to $500 per annum. In addition to this, there will be the expense of furnishing the carriers with supplies, and for the administration of the rural free delivery division. An exhibit has been prepared at the postoffice department showing the number of routes which were placed in operation in a number of the states. Euchre Club. The members of the Ladies' Euchre club were delightfully entertained Thursday afternoon of last week at the beautiful home of Mrs. Kirby at Peralta. The guests began to arrive at 2 o'clock, and in a short time the house was filled with many happy and merry friends. The rooms were tastefully decorated with bright and beautiful flowers. Mrs. Kirby was ably assisted in dispensing hospitalities by her charming daughter, Miss Alice. Mrs. H. Cahen was the successful player of the afternoon, she having captured the first prize—a beautiful ours, not to subjugate, but to emancipate: not to rule in the power of the might, but to teach those distant people the principles of liberty, of freedom of conscience and of opportunity that are enjoyed by the people of the United States.

(Enthusiastic applause.) Railway Talk. The Santa Ana and Orange Motor company last week transferred all its franchises, including those of the proposed new electric line between Santa Ana and Los Angeles, via Orange, Anaheim, Fullerton and Whittier, together with all rolling stock, barns, and other equipages to the Interurban Railway company, which maintains head offices in Los Angeles. The consideration is $15,000 cash, and $50,000 stock in the new company. The $15,000 is represented in two notes, one of $5000 and one for double that amount, payable in one and two years respectively, with interest at 5 per cent. As security for the payment of these notes the Interurban company agrees to deposit within ninety days, $15,000 of its capital stock. This transfer removes whatever doubt may have existed of the intention of the Interurban company to build its electric line from Los Angeles through this city to Santa Ana. It is believed that H.E. Huntington is back of the enterprise. The talked of road between Santa Ana and Long Beach is supposed to be backed by James McFadden and the Santa Fe people. California Fruits. Consul Bartleman, at Valencia, Spain, has sent to the State Department the translation of an article published in a Valencia paper concerning Spanish and California fruits, as follows: "Spanish products are rapidly losing ground, and our wines, our soil, our fruits and vegetables will be condemned to home consumption. We have been astonished at the falling off in our exports of fruit and fresh vegetables to France, England and Germany. The decrease for France, notwithstanding the enormously enlarged consumption created by the Paris exposition, was erroneously attributed to Italian competition. The rivalry really comes from the United States. California is now supplying the French, English and German markets with fresh fruit and vegetables. The fruits are not offered at lower prices than our own, but they are presented neatly packed and in splendid condition." "It is ridiculous to think that fruits and vegetables raised on the slopes of the distant Pacific should compete at the very doors of Spain with those produced in this country, yet the fact is undeniable. How is the mystery explained? It is simply that Californians offer their fruit in the same fine condition in which it is picked from the trees. Their oranges, apples, peaches and pears reach Paris after traversing 600 miles in more attractive and appetising condition than ours after a journey of only 490 miles. Shall we live to see American oranges competing with ours on the Valencia market itself?" The members of the Ladies' Euchre club were delightfully entertained Thursday afternoon at the beautiful home of Mrs. Kirby at Peralta. The guests began to arrive at 2 o'clock, and in a short time the house was filled with many happy and merry friends. The rooms were tastefully decorated with bright and beautiful flowers. Mrs. Kirby was ably assisted in dispensing hospitalities by her charming daughter, Miss Alice. Mrs. H. Cahen was the successful player of the afternoon, she having captured the first prize—a beautiful hand mirror. Mrs. Shanley received the second price, a "stein," and Mrs. Crist the consolation, a coffee spoon. Dainty refreshments followed the games. Pinching the Wrong Leg. Lord Salisbury is one of the most genial of men when seated with his friends at a well-laden dinner table. One evening while so situated he had been keeping the whole company alive by his conversation when suddenly he stopped short in what he was saying and his face was seen to become grave and anxious. After a pause of some minutes, during which his Lordship sat speechless and motionless, his neighbor asked him what was the matter. "It has come," he muttered in a voice of despair. "What has come?" was the bewildered reply. "It has come at last. The doctor said it must. I have been expecting it for these last ten years, and now it has come." "But what has come?" asked the questioner, thoroughly frightened. "Are you ill?" "I am seized with a paralytic stroke. I have pinched my leg again and again and I can feel nothing." "Oh, you can set your mind at rest on that point," was the reply. "It is my leg that you have been pinching." Beware of a Cough. A cough is not a disease but a symptom. Consumption and bronchitis, which are the most dangerous and fatal diseases, have for their first indication a persistent cough, and if properly treated as soon as this cough appears are easily cured. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has proven wonderfully successful, and gained its wide reputation and extensive sale by its success in curing the diseases which cause coughing. If it is not beneficial it will not cost you a cent. For sale by P. A. Derge, druggist. How To Gain Flesh Persons have been known to gain a pound a day by taking an ounce of SCOTT'S EMULSION. It is strange, but it often happens. Somehow the ounce produces the pound; it seems to start the digestive machinery going properly, so that the patient is able to digest and absorb his ordinary food, which he could not do before, and that is the way the gain is made. A certain amount of flesh is necessary for health; if you have not got it you can get it by taking Scott's Emulsion You will find it just as useful in summer as in winter, and if you are thriving upon it don't stop because the weather is warm.
