Z. B. WEST'S ELECTION CONTESTED Alleged that He Violated the Purity of Elections Law in Spending More Money Than Law Allowed A contest of the election of Z. B. West to the office of superior judge of Orange county has been filed by Charles McDowell of Bolsa through his attorney, E. J. Marks of Santa Ana. The complaint alleges that the defendant violated the purity of elections act in that his sworn statement of expenses did not cover the actual cash spent for campaign purposes. This money, it is alleged, was spent in livery hire and paid to various persons for working to secure defendant's election and also to procure his nomination. A list of names of persons alleged to have been paid sums of money by defendant is a part of the complaint. A further allegation is that defendant paid more money to some of the newspapers than appears in his sworn statement, and also paid out large sums for printing certain self-laudatory circulars, which do not appear in his statement of expenses. It is further alleged that defendant spent and caused to be spent sums of money for cigars and intoxicating liquors to treat voters and to cause them to vote for defendant. The plaintiff is 72 years old and almost totally blind. A citation was filed in the case Saturday afternoon and a special session of the court has been called to act in the matter Tuesday, December 16th, at 10 o'clock. GERMAN FARMERS COMING TO AMERICA Desirous of Inspecting Agriculture and Kindred Interests A large delegation of farmers, under the auspices of the German Agricultural society, is coming to the United States in April for a three months' tour, studying American agricultural methods.

The German embassy at Washington negotiated the affair with the agricultural department, which will furnish a guide during the entire trip. His expenses will be defrayed by the Germans. The trip includes stops at Baltimore, where special attention will be given to dairy farms, and at Washington, where the agricultural department will be exhaustively studied. The German Agricultural society, though a private organization, has taken the United States agricultural department as a model, and is trying to do in Germany many things which the department does in the United States. After leaving Washington the industries of West Virginia will be examined and then the horse breeding and tobacco growing industries of Kentucky will be inspected. The tourists will afterwards visit St. Louis, Kansas City and Omaha, where the stock yards will be investigated, and they will also inquire into the Nebraska sugar beet industry. They will next stop at the irrigating systems of Colorado. From San Francisco the German farmers will go on an excursion to Los Angeles and study the fruit farms. They will return eastward via Tacoma and see the farms of Dakota and Minnesota. Later they will visit Chicago slaughter houses, grain elevators, etc., after which the Germans will be shown the beet root industry of Michigan. A number of agricultural experiment stations along the route will be examined. The travelers will embark for home at New York June 30. The German Agricultural society's board of managers will be represented on the trip by Baron Von Wailenberg-Pashaly. Besides a number of leading agriculturalists, the party will include a dozen students of the Berlin Agricultural institute, who will make the trip at their own expense, regarding the knowledge to be gained as a valuable investment for the future great farmers of Germany. Dr. Gerber, the agricultural attache of the German embassy at Washington, will accompany the delegation. There is a great rush to Berlin of farmers from all parts of the German empire to file applications for membership in the delegation, but most of them must be rejected, as it is regarded as impracticable to do good work if the party exceeds thirty or forty. The society has just completed an immense building in Berlin, costing over $500,000, in which will be installed the new bureau to be founded upon the researches made during the trip to the United States.

I prescribe it to children of all ages. Am glad to recommend it to all in need would pass through the new section of the river in an outward direction only, thereby obviating the danger of such mouth being blocked with sand. There is considerable difference of time in the movement of the tide on the ocean front, where the new mouth would be, and up in the bay, where the old mouth now is. This difference would remove the pressure against the gate at the new mouth, and allow it to open, long before the tide would fall at the old mouth, thereby inducing a strong suction of tide water through the short channel connecting the two mouths, always from the old towards the new. This suction might be strengthened and the scouring action of the water be greatly increased by fastening the gate at the old mouth and keeping the tide out altogether until the cbb commenced at that point, when the gate could be thrown open and the water be sent through the short channel with a rush. Such is a brief outline of the cause and the cure of the overflow of streams, as illustrated by two streams of Orange county. The theory of protection here presented is not empirical in its narrow sense; every one knows enough scientific facts to justify the conclusions arrived at. There can be no doubt about the success of the work, if the method outlined be faithfully followed; and the expense will not be so very great after the right of way is once procured. In fact it seems to be the only method that promises any degree of success commensurate with the outlay; and that is because the forces of nature are utilized to restrain the excesses and irregularities of nature. Respectfully, S. ARMOR. THE CLERK'S MISTAKE. Thought She Was a Hayseed Because She Ordered a Kerosene Lamp. Just after the night clerk had come on at the hotel and curled his mustache to his liking his attention was called to business. "Kerosene lamp for 287," requested a bellboy. "Kerosene lamp?" echoed the clerk as he whirled the register about. "Let me see. Blondly and wife of Plunker ville in 237. I thought so. Never been in a first class hotel before. Go back and show them how to use the electric light. Wonder they didn't send for a tallow candle," and the clerk took several of the corridor loungers into his confidence. "Lady says if this hotel can't afford a lamp to send up a gas stove and send it quick," said the bellboy, who had made the round trip in phenomenal time. "She acts pretty hot." "Pretty cold, I should think. Go back there and open the register, show she lady how to use the water faucets and how to turn off the electricity. Thank Lord, she can't blow it out." The next word from 287 came with a rush. It was brought by a vision of loveliness, dressed in bewitching style, her face flushed and her blue eyes throwing off sparks. "Make out our bill and receipt it at once," she said as her daunty foot beat time on the marble tiling. "But, Mrs. Blondly" "Attend to my order, sir.

It is reported that M. Zola has agreed to come to the United States and deliver about 15 lectures, relating probably to anti-Semitism in France and to the trials of Dreyfus and himself. The arrangement is asserted to have been made with Mr. Edmund Gerson of New York and to have followed immediately upon the decision of the French government to grant M. Zola an appeal from the sentence of imprisonment lately pronounced upon him. An interesting detail of this report is that a sum approaching $60,000 is promised to M. Zola for his visit. One could wish perhaps that that detail had been omitted. M. Zola would undoubtedly excite great interest here and would draw full houses, but he most interests Americans at present in his character, lately assumed, of patriot and protestant against prejudice and injustice, and interest based on grounds of that sort is hardly suitable for conversion into cash. It is possible, however, that his recent experiences have been costly, and that he has more than ordinary need of money.—Harper's Weekly. Not Used to Fragile Pieces.

She is morbid, nervous, fearful, as she enters upon this new experience. The use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription at such a time will do more than restore the normal balance of mind and body. It will establish the womanly function upon a basis of sound health, as well as improve the appetite, nourish the nerves, and the general physical health.

The cheerful idiot is the individual who when he sees you come into the house dripping from the storm inquires casually, "Is it raining?" If you were sitting and the knife slipped and cut the top of a finger he would say just pleasantly, "Did you cut yourself?" It seems the chief business in the life of cheerful idiot to ask fool questions. Mostly people put up with him as they with mosquitoes—because they can't stop themselves. But once in a while a cheerful idiot runs up against the long man. It was that way when the L. of the boarding house tackled a serab.e looking fellow-boarder who was tortured by dyspepsia. "Hello Smith," he cried, "aren't you feeling well?" And Smith growled back: "It's one of your business how I'm feeling." Talk about adding insult to injury! That could be any worse than asking a man who had suffering stamped all over him, "Aren't you feeling well?" It's rather hard for the dyspeptic to take a stranger to the disease under and just how much suffering dyspepsia can cause. Words don't express it. That terrible gnawing sensation in the stomach is past description. Even after you have recited the specific aches and pains there are no terms to express the cumulative and combined effects of them upon both mind and body. HOW DYSPEPSIA IS CURED. There is an almost certain cure for dyspepsia and other diseases of the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery always helps and almost always cures. In ninety-eight per cent. of cases in which the "Discovery" has been given a fair and faithful trial it has wrought a perfect and permanent cure. It has cured the most severe and obstinate conditions of stomach trouble which have failed to yield to any other medicine. Mr. Ned Nelson, the Irish Comedian and Mimic of 577 Royden Street, Camden, N. J., writes: "We fulfilled an engagement of twelve weeks and the constant traveling gave me a bad touch of that dreaded disease called dyspepsia. I had tried everything possible to cure it till last week while playing at B. F. Keath's Bijou Theatre, Philadelphia, in the Nelson Trio, a professional friend of mine advised me to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. I tried it, and thank God, with good results." "For three years I suffered untold agony," writes Mrs. H. R. White, of Stanstead, Stanstead Co., Quebec (Box 115). "I would have spells of trembling and being sick at my stomach, pain in right side all the time; then it would work up into my stomach, and such distress it is impossible to describe. I wrote to the World's Dispensary Medical Association, stating my case to them, and they very promptly answered and told me what to do. I took eight bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and five vials of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Thanks to Dr. Pierce and his medicine I am a well woman to-day. Dr. Pierce's medicines also cured my mother of liver complaint from which she had been a sufferer for fifteen years. We highly recommend these medicines to all suffering people." Diseases which seem to be remote from the stomach, but which originate in the stomach are cured through the stomach. For this reason diseases of heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and other organs are cured by "Golden Medical Discovery," when it has cured the disease of the stomach and its associated organs of digestion and nutrition. It has been a surprise to many people who have taken "Golden Medical Discovery" for stomach "trouble." to find FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM. Sketch of the industries and Resources or this Most Beautiful Part of California. The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foothills, and 148½ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, ostrich farm, bank, several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and SOCIETY IN SIBERIA. Hostess and Guests Frequently Retire to the Kitchen to Cook and Eat. At one of the grand balls I attended at Krasnoyarsk, "writes Thomas G. Allen, Jr., of 'Fashionable Siberia,' in The Ladies' Home Journal," I was impressed by the profusion of flowers used in the decoration of the ballroom, and which had been imported from Europe at enormous expense, and also by the importance given to the matter of refreshments. Although there appeared to be about four girls to one man, the male portion of the company spent the greater part of the evening at the buffet, or zokooski table, eating and drinking. The conversation of the women, I found, was most conventional, and one could invariably anticipate the same remarks upon an introduction to a lady Knowledge of French, which I was surprised to find few could speak, is considered the most graceful feminine accomplishment.

Very often while dressed in silks and satins and conversing with her guests a hostess will proceed to fry a 'blin', or pancake and eat it with the greatest gusto. The other ladies are at liberty to follow the hosts' example if they choose." Women as Veterinarians FACTS ABOUT ORANGE CO. The census bureau has issued a bulletin on agriculture in California which we quote from extensively in another part of this issue. One of the interesting features of the report is the paragraph giving the number of farms and acres of farming lands in the five Southern California counties. The pre-eminence of Orange county is apparent: Counties: No. farms: Acres. Los Angeles: 6577: 805,063 Orange: 288: 599,436 Riverside: 240: 417,067 San Bernardino: 250: 119,132 San Diego: 268: 809,419 But it is in the acreage of irrigated lands that Orange county takes easy precedence over the other counties of Southern California: Counties: Acres. Los Angeles: 85,644 Orange: 41,549 Riverside: 32,947 San Bernardino: 37,877 San Diego: 16,022 The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 8880; that of Riverside, 7008; that of San Bernardino, 20055; and that of San Diego, 8400 square miles. Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its size, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or a fourth more than the belauded county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State. A. J. Snell wanted to attend a party, but was afraid to do so on account of pains in his stomach, which he feared would grow worse.

The intimacy is frank, free and sympathetic. But some day the mother feels as if something had chilled this intimacy. The child is silent and sad, and seems to shun her mother instead of mocking her.

Women as Veterinarians. This year a young woman will be graduated from the Veterinary school in Alfort, France, Germany and Russia boast of women veterinarians, but in the United States there is not one who is entitled to write herself D.V.S. Women have applied to the various veterinary schools in the United States, most of them saying that they wished to make a special study of the diseases of cats and dogs. Some have taken preparatory courses at the school connected with Cornell university, but none has matriculated anywhere with the intention of entering the profession except Miss Jenne Revert, who attended the New York Veterinary college during two sessions. Miss Revert is the owner of Robin-dale farm, Glen Head, N.Y., where she raises blooded horses and fine bulldogs. She hopes to finish her course and take her degree. She speaks appreciatively of the kindness, consideration and good fellowship which she has met with from professors and students. Miss Revert treats the horses and dogs on her own farm, and the horses are always shod under her own personal supervision. Some of the wives of prominent veterinarians, who are not college graduates, have a wide practical experience and are well read on the subject of veterinary medicine, among them Mrs. Gill, the wife of the dean of the New York Veterinary college. There are even now any number of women who can pick up a pony's foot and take a stone out of it—Miss Kitty Wilkins of Bruneau Valley, Ida., who raises horses; Mrs. Samuel Caton, who managed her husband's stock farm while he was in Europe, and Mrs. Power O'Donegbue, the famous Irish horsewoman, who broke her own colts and trained them and managed her own stud.

The game of curling has secured a firm place among the winter sports in all parts of the country where there is heavy ice and where there are Scotchmen to teach the game to their American neighbors. There are about 50 curling clubs in the United States, and the Grand National Curling club of America has a membership of many hundreds in all parts of the north and northwest, but still the game is spoken of as "Scotland's ain game." The game is always played on ice covered lakes or rivers, except in England, where it is frequently played under glass roofs by men whose white waistcoats, straw hats, floral decorations and general lack of Scotch style cause the real curlers to regard them with scorn. The curlers who are members of the New York clubs have their contests on Van Cortlandt lake, and there is probably no class of sportsmen who go about a game so seriously as they. The object of the game is to plant the curling stone, which has a teakettle shape and weighs from 32 to 44 pounds, near the "teen," or center of a circle at a distance of 40 vards, and to guard it there. Next to the stone the broom plays the most important part in the game of curling, because in the hands of a sweeper who is anxious to see the stone advance to the circle where it will count it is wielded dexterously, so that every particle of snow or ice may be removed from the stone's course. The "skips," or captains, of the opposing sides have charge of the sweeping departments, and the sweepers have the right to use their brooms after the stone has got beyond the line which marks the middle of the rink. The sweeping is always to a side or across the rink and not forward or backward, where the sweepings might obstruct the passage of a running stone.

The sweeping is always to a side or across the rink and not forward or backward, where the sweepings might obstruct the passage of a running stone. Match games, called a bonspiel, are played by opposing teams of four each, and when it is at home curling is essentially democratic. It has been said that the lord of the manor, the clergyman and the village blacksmith may be seen on the same rink with the smith as "skip" shouting to the clergyman to "soop, soop!" when he thinks a "soop." or sweep, in front of the moving stone will help it along. The enthusiastic curler sees and hears nothing but the speeding stones and the applause, the shouts of "Weel curled, mon!" and the boyish shouts which rise on the wintry air show that a youthful spirit may live in a mature body, particularly if it be that of a Scotch curler. New York Tribune. Cramp in the Leg. Many persons of both sexes are greatly troubled with cramp in one or both of their legs. It comes on suddenly and is very severe. Most people jump out of bed (it nearly always comes on either just after going to bed or while undressing) and ask some one to rub the leg. There is nothing easier than to make the spasm let go its hold, and it can be accomplished without sending for a doctor, who may be tired and in need of a good night's rest. When I have a patient who is subject to cramp, I always advise him to provide himself with a good strong cord. A long garter will do if nothing else is handy. When the cramp comes on, take the cord, wind it around the leg over the place that is cramped and take an end in each hand and give it a sharp pull—one that will hurt a little. Instantly the cramp will depart, and the sufferer can go to bed assured it will not come on again that night. I have saved myself many a good night's rest simply by posting my patients subject to spasms of the legs how to use the cord as above. I have never known it to fail, and I have tried it after they had worked half the night and the patient was in the most intense agony. New York Ledger. MR.S. L. S. ADAMS. Of Galveston, Texas.
