The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Proprietor THURSDAY... SEPTEMBER 12, 1901 PRESIDENT McKINLEY was shot, and at first it was supposed was fatally wounded, by an anarchist named Leon Czolgosz, at the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo, on Friday afternoon last. Late reports from his bedside bring the comforting news that he will recover, which the American people will pray may be true. News of the diabolical deed reached this city a few minutes after its commission. The report was that the President was dead. Instantly flags were placed at half mast, and the community plunged into deepest and profound sorrow. Later it was learned that, though desperately wounded, the President was yet alive. The news was received with hope for his final recovery. Since Saturday bulletins have been uniformly encouraging, and yesterday's reports brought the joyful news that he had passed all danger and would soon be entirely restored to health. This city adds its voice to that of the entire nation in its prayers that the President may be speedily restored to his health and activities, and that condign punishment be meted out to the assassin. The Supervisors have ordered the land of J. H. Cole set out of the Bolsa drainage district, because it is not susceptible to drainage by that district. Cole was persuaded by Blatherskite Hazard and others of his ilk to go into the district, which was being formed, not that drainage was thought of at the time, but SHERWOOD BIDS ADIEU TO WATER DISCUSSION Tells How Once He Came Near Having to Walk Home From the Division Gate. EDITOR GAZETTE:—My only reason for continuing this argument with Armor and further trying the patience of your readers is that I so greatly enjoy the stories with which he prefaces his remarks lately. The vivid imagination displayed in his stories, and arguments, is quite an addition to the literature of the day. The manner in which he puts up his straw man labeled Sherwood against the Post, and then falls to and demolishes him can only be equalled by a young bull-pup with a rag baby. It must create a great impression upon the readers of the Post. It is not usual for one of a pair of contestants to act as referee; but Armor does not care for any rules, he can make rules as he goes along. It is possible, however, that he will find it advantageous in the long run to tell the truth or come somewhere near it. He states that I own two shares of water stock, which is about as near the truth as he seems to come at any time, either through carelessness or design. The fact is that 17 shares of water stock stand in my name on the books of the company; and my wife has 33. Moreover I have purchased and used every drop of water that I could obtain on said stock during the irrigating season for several years past. This is hardly a carpet bag proposition I think. Now if Armor will be equally as frank, and tell us (truthfully) how many shares of stock he owns, and how much he has contributed to the treasury of his company during the last year, perhaps we can figure out how much interest he has in the Durkee ranch. My information as to the non-filling of the "reservoir" on the THE HAND OF THE ASSASSIN Three Presidents Have Fallen With Memory of Men Still Living. Three presidents of the United States have fallen at the hands of assassins within the last thirty years, President McKinley being last. President Lincoln was shot 9 o'clock on the night of April 1865, and died at 7:22 o'clock on morning of the 16th. President Garfield was shot the morning of July 2, 1881, after a lingering illness died September 20, 1881. The shooting of President Kinley has occurred just six months and two days after his second action to the presidency. From the moment President Coln received the bullet of W.Booth there was no prospect of recovery. His devoted wife members of his cabinet remanded with him through that memorable night, when all Washington was fever of excitement over the attack on the life of Lincoln and Severson. President Garfield was shot at Pennsylvania railroad depot Washington as he and Secretary Blaine were about to depart Long Branch. As the two distinguished men were passing through the waiting room two pistols shots out upon the air. Mr. Blaine ran man running and started to him, but immediately saw the patient lurch forward and fall. A moment afterward Charles J. Guine was discovered and was rescued difficulty from the infuriated When, in answer to his eager rations, the president's physician formed him that he had only chance in a hundred of living said calmly and bravely: "Then, doctor, we will take chance." General Arthur was at New York when the news reached him. The President may be speedily restored to his health and activities, and that condign punishment be meted out to the assassin. The Supervisors have ordered the land of J. H. Cole set out of the Bolsa drainage district, because it is not susceptible to drainage by that district. Cole was persuaded by Blatherskite Hazard and others of his ilk to go into the district, which was being formed, not that drainage was thought of at the time, but really to destroy the property of the Bolsa Chica people by having its outlet at the dock erected by those people across the channel of that name. When Cole found out that, so far from the dock ruining his property, it actually resulted in the reclamation of many acres to him, he resolved to get out of the district, and his course will be probably followed by others. That the district was formed for no other purpose than that here indicated, is attested by the many suits brought against it for the recovery of taxes paid into it by deluded farmers. The drainage district must have a better foundation, or it must fall. Meanwhile the Bolsa Chica people contemplate the expenditure of a vast amount of money in improving their holdings. They are a most desirable set of people to be numbered among Orange county's taxpayers, and we hope their many projected improvements will go on without let or hindrance. The San Francisco Examiner was never so contemptible as when, on the morning following the attempted assassination of the President, it bewailed its tearful anguish at the diabolical deed. The morning of the crime it appeared with a vulgar cartoon representing the President as a negro minstrel singing down the interests of the people; following in the series of shameful pictures that have appeared in that paper almost daily for a year. The purpose of these cartoons can only be to belittle the President and to besmirch his character; and they cannot be justified upon the flimsy pretext of partisan politics. Their only effect can have been to inflame the prejudices of the idle and the vicious, and of these the assassin forms, with his associates, an integral part. That the Examiner has been an acceptable adjunct and ally to these assassins, cannot be doubted for a moment. Certainly it has been in similar business with them. Its assassin cartoons must have been congenial spirits to Czolgosz and his every drop of water that I could obtain on said stock during the irrigating season for several years past. This is hardly a carpet bag proposition I think. Now if Armor will be equally as frank, and tell us (truthfully) how many shares of stock he owns, and how much he has contributed to the treasury of his company during the last year, perhaps we can figure out how much interest he has in the Durkee ranch. My information as to the non-filling of the "reservoir" on the Durkee ranch was obtained from Mr. Kellogg. It is quite true that I know nothing about it myself. Kellogg stated in our meeting several weeks ago that he met up with Durkee, and that Durkee told him that the companies were not using the water in winter on the ranch as they should. Kellogg further stated that he always admired the way Durkee kept the water running on the ranch in winter, and that his measurements would show that there has been a loss of water of 200 inches or so, owing to the failure to run water on the ranch last winter, as Durkee used to do. So the facts in the case, if Kellogg tells the truth, are that Armor, and not Sherwood, does not know what he is talking about. Armor's quibbles with regard to the 1000 inches of water will deceive nobody. Durkee had no title to the water any more than any other riparian owner, and was entitled only to a reasonable use of the water to irrigate his land with, when others below wanted it. He never had 100 acres of alfalfa on the place, and 1000 inches of water would irrigate that in a day or two. I will acknowledge however that it is a nice thing to "manipulate" the 1000 inches of water and other things connected therewith, but $100,000 is a good deal of money. Armor's proposition for "us" to "throw up the whole thing" "as was suggested before," makes clear that Mr. Fay's statement that our company was forced into the thing was no "pipe dream." I am glad that Armor has made this clear; "murder will out." I shall now look for Durkee to withdraw his affidavit, hire a hall, and tell us that some one did get a commission out of the deal. Armor has nervelto deny that he said "our people never kick," and attribute this classical quotation to me, especially as there were a dozen witnesses present when he said it, and raised a laugh at my expense. It was at the conference with Irvine at the division gate. Being called on for his opinion for the solution of the knotty problem under consideration him, but immediately saw the patient lurch forward and fall. A moment afterward Charles J. Guille was discovered and was rescued difficulty from the infuriated When, in answer to his eager tions, the president's physician formed him that he had only chance in a hundred of living said calmly and bravely: "Then, doctor, we will take chance." General Arthur was at New York when the news reached him night that the president had gone away. Among those who joined General Arthur at that moment were Elihu Root, member of the McKinley cabinet. Mr. Blaine and his associates the Garfield cabinet had teleged General Arthur to take them off office. At 2 o'clock on the evening of September 21, General Arthur took the oath of office, which administered by a local officer in the city of New York. The course pursued during lingering illness of President Arthur appears to be a precedent applicable to the presentation of affairs. President George without doubt was utterly indicted to perform any duty, although he was himself certain sense. There was no president at this period and no people did not desire one such a critical emergency. The lessons of Garfield's led to the enactment of a January 19, 1886, providing an end succession to the preside This establishes in case of death or disability of the president the succession should devolve members of the cabinet in following order: Secretary of state, secretary of war, general, postmaster general, tary of the navy, secretary interior. Wilshire Nearly Mobil YORK, Pa., Sept. 8.-H. Wilshire, the Socialist from Georgia, barely escaped violence night in his efforts to address a gathering. A number of wanted to mob him. This coined home of McKinley's ancestor. Wilshire denounced the counsel offered Mark Hanna $10,000 if he defeat him in a joint debate on the audience to decide who winner. Mrs. Innes Henry and children returned after an extended visit her parents in Ventura. Mr. Middleham reports a resident of the West End, an employee of the Raab creamery, making uncalled-for reflections on the attempt upon the President's life. The man's name is unknown, but suffice it to know that Middleham "called him down" without further ado. Let Mr. Raab's creamery man understand that this town will harbor no such utterances, and the sooner he finds it out the better. The ravens are flocking back to Fullerton, and are anxiously awaiting the result of the incorporation election before opening up for business in a wide-open town. Restaurants, closed since the cold-water ordinance went into effect, are being opened, and hotel bars put in order for the grand rush at the letting down of the bars—or the opening of the bars, so to speak. If incorporation carries, Fullerton will have a half dozen bars open as soon as the votes are counted. Armor has nerve to deny that he said "our people never kick," and attribute this classical quotation to me, especially as there were a dozen witnesses present when he said it, and raised a laugh at my expense. It was at the conference with Irvine at the division gate. Being called on for his opinion for the solution of the knotty problem under consideration, he intimated that he could do about as he pleased with the stockholders of his company, and in that slow nasal drawl of his, let our the following, which I express as well as the orthography of the English language will permit; "Aour-peepul-nervur-kick, the Annyheim peepul do all the kickin'." The joke of it all was that my old gray horse, who will stand around any place any length of time, and who was hitched nearby within hearing, hereupon broke his halter, and charged down the road like a runaway automobile; and I came near having to walk home! And now, Mr. Editor, despairing of getting any useful or truthful information out of Armor, I will leave him to imitate the bull-pup with the ragbaby, and bid him adieu, with apologies to your readers for the sufferings they have been obliged to endure for the past few weeks.

Three presidents of the United States have fallen at the hands of insurgents within the last thirty-six months. President McKinley being the first president Lincoln was shot at on the night of April 14, and died at 7:22 o'clock on the morning of July 2, 1881, and a lingering illness died on November 20, 1881. The shooting of President McKinley has occurred just six months two days after his second accession to the presidency. From the moment President Lincoln received the bullet of Wilkes with there was no prospect of his recovery. His devoted wife and members of his cabinet remained him through that memorable event, when all Washington was in a state of excitement over the attempt to life Lincoln and Seward. President Garfield was shot at the Pennsylvania railroad depot in Washington as he and Secretary Dearborn were about to depart for New York Branch. The two distinguished men passing through the ladies' living room two pistols shots rang upon the air. Mr. Blaine saw a running and started toward but immediately saw the presidential forward and fall. A mom-afterward Charles J. Guiteau discovered and was rescued withulty from the infuriated mob, in answer to his eager questions, the president's physicians insured him that he had only one chance in a hundred of living, he calmly and bravely: Then, doctor, we will take that place." General Arthur was at New York on the news reached him that... but immediately saw the presilarch forward and fall. A momafterward Charles J. Guiteau discovered and was rescued with duality from the infuriated mob. on, in answer to his eager quessions, the president's physicians inced him that he had only one face in a hundred of living, he calmly and bravely: Then, doctor, we will take that nance." General Arthur was at New York on the news reached him that that the president had passed away. Among those who joined General Arthur at that solemn ment were Elihu Root, now a member of the McKinley cabinet. Mr. Blaine and his associates of Garfield cabinet had telegraphGeneral Arthur to take the oath office. At 2 o'clock on the mornday of September 21, General Arthur ked the oath of office, which was ministered by a local official of city of New York. The course pursued during the gering illness of President Gard appears to be a precedent dirency applicable to the present conson of affairs. President Garfield shout doubt was utterly incapacided to perform any executive y, although he was himself in a tain sense. There was no acting president at this period and in fact people did not desire one during a critical emergency. The lessons of Garfield's death to the enactment of a law on January 19, 1886, providing a mode of succession to the presidency, his establishes in case of the death of disability of the president that succession should devolve upon members of the cabinet in the folving order: Secretary of state, secretary of war, attorney general, postmaster general, secrety of the navy, secretary of theerior. Milshire Nearly MobbedYORK, Pa., Sept. 8.—H. Gaylord Milshire, the Socialist from Los Ances, barely escaped violence here right in his efforts to address a public shering. A number of citizens untied to mob him. This county is home of McKinley's ancestors. Milshire denounced the courts, and merged Mark Hanna $10,000 if he would beat him in a joint debate on trusts, the audience to decide who was the winner.

"I'd like to know what my customers do with all the toothpicks they carry away," remarked a restaurant proprietor the other day. "Few men take a single toothpick. Most of them take half a dozen and many a whole handful, and when they come in here again for the next meal they take as many over again. They don't need them. It's all due to the toothpick chewing habit, which seems to be growing. There isn't anything particularly pleasant about chewing a wooden toothpick, and it may be injurious if a piece of the wood lodges in the throat or gets down into the stomach, as it is very apt to. But the toothpick chewing habit is becoming a rival to the gum and tobacco habits. The only reason I can give it is that the toothpicks are free and gum and tobacco are not."—New York Sun.

A Letter From Abigail Adams—The Vice President's Function. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 6, 1707. Dear Sir—I received your letter of Nov. 24 by the post of yesterday. With respect to the notes you write me about, I wish you to do by them as you would by your own, as I do not want at present either principle or interest. I think it would be most for my interest to do by them as you propose. The method you mention, of adding to the outhouse so as to give me a dairy room, I like very much and would leave it to your judgment. I think it would be best to have it large enough to take of a closet that cold victuals, etc., may not be mixt in with dairy affairs. I should be glad to have it completed if possible before I return in the spring, but the winter has set in with great violence here, and the rivers are already frozen up, so that I fear we shall not have a chance of getting any cheese here. Congress are but just getting into business, and the vice president is not yet arrived to sit six months together. Regulating debates, moderating warmth and reading papers is a laborious task and what, I fancy, the present V. P. does not like so well as rocking in his pivot chair or amusing himself with the vibration of a pendulum. I have never yet seen the southern man, Washington excepted, who could bear application for any length of time. What a ringing would here have been in all the Jacobinical prayers from one end of the United States to the other if somebody else had done so! We are all well. The cold weather has entirely put a stop to the yellow fever, and no person would now suppose that such a calamity had ever befallen the city. The synod recommended a day of fasting and prayer. The difference between this place and N. England was this: Being recommended by a body of Presbyterian ministers, none of the church clergy would join in it. Every shop in the city was open as usual, and a very small proportion of the inhabitants attended worship. Business and pleasure went on as usual. Remember me to Mrs. Turff and all other friends. From your ever affectionate ABIGAIL ADAMS. Honey From Stingless Bees. W. K. Morrison, the bee expert attached to the imperial department of the West Indies, has recently discov Why does salt butter keep better than fresh butter? We must first realize that the bacterial population of a moderate sized pat of butter may be reckoned by millions, that a tiny lump only large enough to go into a thimble has been known to be tenanted by nearly 48,000,000, that, in fact, in consuming a slice of bread and butter you may unconsciously be assimilating individual lives exceeding in number those of the whole of Europe. Thus the urgency for keeping these bords in check and hence the efforts which are made, first, to set up effectual barriers to their ingress by taking proper precautions in the production of milk and, second, in the conduct of the processes involved in the manufacture and distribution of the finished article. Included in these processes is the addition of salt in such quantities as to justify the butter being known as salt butter, this addition being made with the object of extending the keeping powers of the butter or, in other words, to suppress to a large extent the activities of the butter bacteria. That salt does act in this manner is shown by the fact that in butter thus treated a very large reduction in the number of micro-organisms present is effected. There can be little doubt, therefore, that the common butter microbes do not by any means regard salt as their elixir of life. In England boracle acid is said to be extensively used in butter as a preservative or antiseptic agent, while in the United States a recent public health document states that none was reported to have been found in the samples of butter examined. This is probably due to the fact that in America there exists a strong prejudice in favor of salt butter, whereas in England the use of salt butter is the exception and not the rule. Hence in America salt can be used as a preservative instead of the boracle acid employed for that purpose in England. The densely populated condition of butter above referred to is not to be wondered at if we realize that the raw material in the shape of milk may contain from 500,000 to as many as 169,000,000 of bacteria in a few drops—Longman's Magazine. It is said that some early Chinese colns were made in the form of keya, probably because money unlocks the heart of the high official. — Atlanta News. Honey From Stingless Bees. W. K. Morrison, the bee expert attached to the imperial department of the West Indies, has recently discovered several colonies of stingless bees in the island of Monserrat. He is now trying what can be done by the use of modern hives to improve their honey producing capabilities. Modern apiarists are of opinion that they can make the honeybee conform to almost any conditions, so that Mr. Morrison's experiments will be watched with some interest. The honey of the stingless bee is clearer and thinner than that of ordinary commerce. To Coal Vessels at Sea. An English naval architect has invented a method of coaling vessels at sea by which it is possible to deliver from 50 to 100 tons an hour, compared with 20 tons by the method invented by Miller. The British admiralty is considering the advisability of adopting the method. Will Cheapen Gas. A method for producing illuminating gas and coal gas at an expense of 4 cents a thousand feet has been discovered. It is thought that this will effect a revolution by cheapening electric power, and it will also have an important bearing on the production of open hearth steel. Bricks From Coke Ashes. The manufacture of coke ash brick is a very simple one. The ashes are carefully reduced to a fine powder, mixed with one-tenth part of slaked lime and after the addition of water kneaded until the mass forms a stiff paste. Then it is treated like ordinary clay and formed into bricks by the use of suitable presses. The bricks are then stacked, protected from rain and dried in the air. No artificial heat is required. The air dried bricks are very hard and make excellent building material.
