This week the hunt for proxies to vote at the water election in January has assumed more definite shape and to all intents and purposes it looks very like a water election of the olden time. The dominant majority of the present board have given it out that they are anxious for a "vindication." The minority—which should be really termed the majority, for it elected four out of the seven men chosen a year ago—say the board's desire for a vindication shall be gratified, and that the boys will get their vindication—in the solar plexus. The two matters of greatest importance concerning which a vindication is desired are, we should imagine, the breaking off of negotiations with the Santa Ana company for joint work of magnitude up the river, and the rejection of plans previously approved for the construction of the Yorba reservoir. Perhaps the board may desire a vindication of its course in dismissing one engineer and replacing him by one of the solid three. But as to the two more important matters we are in doubt whether stockholders will readily stand for a "vindication." We hardly think it. But of this there is time enough yet to speak. Of those avowedly in search of proxies there may be mentioned every member of the present board. That all will be candidates is to be doubted. Probably Sherwood, Hale, Sheppard and Crowther may be considered as candidates for re-election. Whether Bradford, Zeyn or Smith are to be considered in the running is problematical. If A. Pierotti develops strength in his neighborhood he may displace Bradford. By many Pierotti is considered the stronger one. has uniformly sided with Sherwood during the year. Thus forsaken by the men elected upon the same platform with them, Boss Crowther and Bradford have been in quite over their heads and have been diligently attending to the swimming out process, their churning and splashing of the waters being a sight to see. Both Smith and Zeyn "want on" the board again. The former has been gathering proxies quietly, and the latter has been squaring himself with his constituents in his going over to Sherwood. Neither one should be re-elected. There has been altogether too much self-interest connected with this board, to the inevitable detriment of the interest of the patient irrigator, who, after all, is the bone and sinew of the company. Too much place seeking, with the eye alert ever for the main opportunity, let the interest of the stockholder be what it may. So we say to the stockholders, be careful to whom you give your proxy! An important suit involving the right of a riparian owner to tap the river and conduct water beyond the water shed is now on trial in the Riverside court, wherein the Anaheim Union and the Santa Ana water companies are seeking to restrain one O. B. Fuller from appropriating a stream estimated as high as 1000 inches from the Santa Ana river at a point in Riverside county. Fuller is a riparian owner and is undoubtedly entitled to some supply of water. But instead of arriving at the amount by fair means he constructs a ditch of large capacity and runs it full of water. Then he waits until a decision is reached by the courts indicating the amount he can legally take. If Fuller be sustained in his position there is no reason why every man in Riverside county should not tap the river in similar fashion, leaving the irrigated valley lands to shift as best they may. But they will find the valley irrigated a hardy set of people to Of those avowedly in search of proxies there may be mentioned every member of the present board. That all will be candidates is to be doubted. Probably Sherwood, Hale, Sheppard and Crowther may be considered as candidates for re-election. Whether Bradford, Zeyn or Smith are to be considered in the running is problematical. If A. Pierotti develops strength in his neighborhood he may displace Bradford. By many Pierotti is considered the stronger man of the two. Stockholders in town and on the south and west sides are outspoken in their opposition to Zeyn and Smith, although the latter is said to have gathered up some proxies. Names suggested to fill their places are those of A. W. Swain, C. O. Rust, Mr. Stanley of the East Side and E. F. Kellogg of West Anaheim. Mr. Spooner, prior to his removal to Los Angeles from the West End, was a prime favorite for member of the board from that section, and had he remained would probably have been elected. He would undoubtedly have made a valuable man on the board. Although a resident of Los Angeles, he still retains his orchard property here and comes down once or twice a week. Of other new material sight must not be lost of C. C. Chapman, the largest stockholder in the company, who has been prevailed upon to enter the lists, the purpose being to elect him president of the company. Mr. Chapman was formerly president of the board but declined to serve again owing to the increasing demands upon his time by his private business affairs. There has been a loud cry to arise from every portion of the district almost, that at the present critical juncture in the history of the company he forsake the plow and come forward to again place his hand upon the helm of public affairs. In truth, many believe the old ship has become a trifle unsteady and wobbly in its course, and that the 'prentice hand directing affairs be replaced by another dominated by a broader mind and more liberal spirit. Mr. Chapman is thought by many to be the man for this place, and when election day rolls round he will have in his vest pocket, so the wise ones say, enough stock to land two directors at 850 shares apiece. Another gentleman mentioned as a candidate is A. McDermont of Fullerton, who is said to have already been around with the early birds gathering in quite a respectable bunch of proxies. McDermont will inevitably gut into the vote of water. But instead of arriving at the amount by fair means he constructs a ditch of large capacity and runs it full of water. Then he waits until a decision is reached by the courts indicating the amount he can legally take. If Fuller be sustained in his position there is no reason why every man in Riverside county should not tap the river in similar fashion, leaving the irrigated valley lands to shift as best they may. But they will find the valley irrigators a hardy set of people to deal with, who guard with jealous eye their vested rights to the river flow. The two water companies are represented in court by Judge Hutton of Los Angeles, E. E. Keech of Santa Ana and Mr. Melrose of this city. Fuller has also an eminent array of legal talent. The case has been on trial since Monday. Up to yesterday no word had come of a decision in the case. Dr. Freeman writes from Fullerton to say that our political reporter got his trolly wires crossed in his references to the fight for county physician, as narrated in these columns last week. The doctor says he is not an aspirant for the job; that it's another Freeman, living at Santa Ana. The fact that this new Freeman comes from Santa Ana tends to lend the color of truth to the doctor's statement—or rather, should we say, confirms it. We were of opinion our young friend the political reporter was rather premature in his unwarranted assault upon the doctor, and he has placed himself in jeopardy of his job. But we agree with him that Dr. Hill be retained in his position—the more, now that Dr. Freeman informs us he is not after the place. The contested election case of Langley vs. Head is now being unraveled in the Superior Court at Santa Ana, Judge Noyes of Riverside sitting in Judge Ballard's place. Yesterday Langley passed Head, and ran ahead of him 40 votes, having made a gain of 85. This came about by the rejection of Democratic votes illegally stamped in the "no nomination" column. J. D. Thomas of Tustin was accidentally shot on Sunday while hunting in the foothills east of that town with a party of friends. He had separated from the others and while returning to them over the brow of an intervening hill was struck in the eye by a shot fired in his direction. He may lose the sight of the eye. He was taken to Los Angeles for treatment. Our store will be open for Holiday trade, beginning day, December 4th. LANGLEY PASSES HEAD Leads Him Twenty Votes in District Attorneyship Contest A phone from the county clerk's office yesterday afternoon brings the information that Langley had passed Head in his contest of the district attorney's office and was leading him by some forty votes, and was gaining. In nearly every precinct Langley made a gain, on account of the throwing out of Democratic ballots illegally stamped in the "no nomination" column. Head had a majority of 45 according to the returns, but this Langley has overcome and passed by 40 votes. The rejection of these Democratic votes has determined Joplin to forego his contemplated contest against Potter for county treasurer.

Another gentleman mentioned as a candidate is A. McDermont of Fullerton, who is said to have already been around with the early birds gathering in quite a respectable bunch of proxies. McDermont will inevitably cut into the vote of Sheppard and Sherwood, and is at this distance removed from the election a factor not to be lightly reckoned with. We have said the present minority members elected a majority of the board. This is known of all men, but the laurels of victory were denied them early in the game by the going over of Smith and Zeyn to the opposition camp. Sherwood was elected president, Smith was made chairman of the ditch committee, and Zeyn was appointed chairman of the Committee on Sending the Yorba Reservoir Into the Air. Sherwood named himself as a member of this committee; he prepared all the reports of the committee and favored the board with his views upon the matter, while the nominal chairman said never a word concerning the matters during the year—not one word. In the spring constituents of Smith felt it incumbent upon them to circulate a petition or signatures appealing to him to stand fast by the platform of principles whereon he was elected. Early in the game Sherwood evolved a brilliant scheme for the erection of a big pumping plant at or near Smith's corner, to supply the south side of the district with water; and while the scheme was frowned upon by irrigators in this vicinity, Smith has looked upon it with favor and J. D. Thomas of Tustin was accidentally shot on Sunday while hunting in the foothills east of that town with a party of friends. He had separated from the others and while returning to them over the brow of an intervening hill was struck in the eye by a shot fired in his direction. He may lose the sight of the eye.

Stearns, druggist, Shullsburg, Wisconsin, writes, "I have been bothered with dyspepsia or indigestion for 21 years, have tried many doctors without relief, but I have found a cure in Herblue. I recommend it to all my friends who are afflicted that way, and it is curing them," too. 50c at J. P. Hatzfeld's. J. C. Sheppard was in town yesterday from Fullerton.

Coughing Spell Caused Death "Harry Duckwell, aged 25 years, choked to death early yesterday morning at his home, in the presence of his wife and child. He contracted a slight cold a few days ago and paid but little attention to it. Yesterday morning he was seized with a fit of coughing which continued for some time. His wife sent for a physician, but before he could arrive, another coughing spell came on, and Duckwell died from suffocation—St. Louis Globe-Democrat, Dec. 1, 1901."

Girl Wanted A pleasant home and best of supply at residence of William Placentia. STOLE A $10,000 OPINION. The Widow of a Famous General Who Needed Money to Dress Well. Some years ago the widow of a famous Union general was intimate with the wife and daughters of a justice of the supreme court and was as familiar with their home as with her own, which was in the immediate neighbor-hood. She was also intimate with the family of a prominent and popular lobbyist, who was supposed to represent Jay Gould, C. P. Huntington and other men of large interests whenever any thing concerned them in congress. All the parties are now dead, except the lady in the case, whom I will call Mrs. Smith. She was a handsome, ambitious and frivolous woman, whose husband committed suicide by drowning himself in his bathtub. She lived a gay life afterward, but managed to keep many of her old friends. Knowing her love of money and the fact that her income did not keep pace with her expenses, the lobbyist told her that he would give her $10,000 if she could get him a copy of the opinion which the justice was expected to deliver in the supreme court on the following Monday, involving the constitutionality of the Thurman Pacific railroad law. He told her that he knew the opinion was in manuscript and believed that the judge had looked up in the desk in his library. Sunday morning, as soon as she saw the justice and his family start for church, she went across the street, around Thomas circle, rang the bell and told the servant that she wanted to look at a book in the justice's library. As she was accustomed to go about the house almost daily they thought nothing of it, and she was allowed to remain undisturbed in the same room with the decision for nearly two hours. It is supposed that she had a set of false keys, for the justice said that the opinion was locked up in his desk and could not have been reached otherwise. But at any rate the lobbyist is known to have obtained the opinion in advance, and the woman was shortly after able to pay off some pressing obligations. An investigation disclosed the facts I have stated, and it seemed to be the only possible way the opinion could have been obtained. Of course the incidents terminated relations between the two families, and when the story got out about town Mrs. Smith found it more comfortable to rent her Washington residence and remove to New York. Mr. Greeley was not an orator in so sobolastic sense. He had a poor taste somewhat squeaking voice, he knew nothing of gestures, and he could take an orator's pose, which adds emphasis sometimes to the matter an argument to be set forth. Not all years of practice on the platform and public occasions ever changed his hat and methods as a speaker, and he enceased as poorly equipped in the respects needed for the vocation as when he began. But he had one prime quality, with which all the others are exploited vain. He invariably had something say, and he said it in such clear wholesome English with such sincerity that he was an orator in spite of all rules. To state it briefly, of all the eminent speakers I have introduced—and more than once—there was not one who gave better satisfaction, different and nota- as they were, than Horace Greeley. a consequence, he came to me often and wore the best. We might or might not agree with some of his peculiar premises, as when he says, "The moment a drop of alcohol is received in the human stomach that moment stomach recognizes a deadly enemy but he set his audience thinking and luminated his theme—Joel Benton REINHAUS BROS.'
