COUNTY NEWS TERSELY TOLD Items of News of General Interest Gathered from Many Sources. F. G. Page, a prominent business man of Fullerton, and Miss Lizzie Norris of Tustin were united in marriage at the home of the bride in Tustin Wednesday afternoon of last week. Rev. Butterfield of Tustin officiated. During the high wind on Wednesday of last week the front of the brick packing house in Fullerton used by the Spruance Fruit Company for packing fruit was blown in. The men and girls were just returning to work after dinner, when one of the men noticed that the wall seemed to sway with the wind and gave warning of danger. Most of the people commenced to run, but before they could get out the crash came. It completely demolished 125 boxes of fruit, but aside from this the loss will be slight. The building is owned by Mrs. Browning, who at once ordered temporary repairs, which were made in the afternoon. The Orange County Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance company met in Santa Ana last week and elected officers and directors for the ensuing year. W. G. Potter of Buena Park was elected president, F. D. Reed of Fullerton secretary, and A. B. Barrows of Fullerton vice-president. William Crowther was presented with a past master's jewel at a meeting of Anaheim Masonie lodge, the occasion being the installation of A. S. Bradford as master and the retirement of Mr. Crowther from the chair. Fullerton is to have another social club. Papers for the third club where refreshments can be sold have been filed with the county clerk. The directors are J. A. Kellerman, N. Smith, Wm. Schumacher, J. M. Kellerman and Thomas Savage, the last two named being residents of Los Angeles. No capital stock. The new club will be called the National and will be located in the Fullerton hotel. Mrs. Wesley Alms died on Tuesday night of last week at her residence in Placentia, after several weeks of suffering with heart disease. The Hotel Rossmore in Santa Ana, managed the last four years by Col. J. R. Bowler, will be taken charge of after the first of the month by R. A. Green, formerly connected with the Redondo hotel. RICE WATER NUTRITIOUS. Curious Way Some British Officers Discovered This Fact. It is probable that few occidental cooks who prepare rice in various forms for diet are aware that in discarding the water in which it is boiled they are wasting what is regarded by the oriental as the most nutritious part of the food. This fact was curiously proved some years since when a detachment of Europeans and native troops in India found themselves beaguered in a fort with insufficient raions, even of rice, to enable them to hold out until a force could march to their relief. It was when the officers were seriously debating this problem that the natives approached them with what was regarded as a curious solution of the difficulty. If, proposed the latter, the Europeans took all the rice, they, the natives, would be quite content with the water in which it was boiled. The suggestion, in place of any better, was adopted, when it was remarked that while the Europeans found it difficult to maintain their strength on full rations of rice the natives lost none of their stamina by several weeks' diet on the water. When the proposal was made, the action of the natives was praised as one of great devotion to their superiors, but the sentiment was somewhat mollified when the discovery was made that the natives were quite aware that the principal nourishment lay in the water. Since that time Europeans in the orient following the custom of the natives, have given rice water to patients, particularly in cases of cholera, as a drink no other food can be retained in the stomach and usually with good results." But the natives always value this water so highly that it is never thrown away. In fact, it would surprise many cooks to discover how much may be done with this apparently worthless stock. If the rice is cooked in the oriental fashion—that is, boiled only so long that each grain comes out of the pan separate and not as a sodden mass—the water when strained off and permitted to cool will become a jelly approaching the consistency of blanc mange. To suit the occidental palate the water should be flavored with an extract or otherwise the jelly may have rather an insipid taste. To Prevent Iron Rust. Among the new and useful metallurgical processes of note the San Francisco Scientific Press speaks of one by which iron may be effectively protected from rust. STUDENT OF SHAKESPEARE The Natives Meard Him Recite and Thought Him a Lunatic. An itinerant college "professor," said he styled himself, was stranded in little backwoods settlement, and in order to raise cash enough to help him farther on the road he proposed Shakespeare club for the literary diversion of the citizens. "It's like those they have in their cities," he explained, "and if you follow want to keep up with the procession you must have one too." About a dozen applied for membership and were in the hall early, waiting for the professor, who was late getting there. When he did arrive, after stating that object of the meeting, he proposed give them samples of Shakespearean acting. He began with Hamlet, then killed Macbeth and Richard III. There was no applause from his audience while he was perspiring through the various acts. In fact, the audience was serious—very serious—and he noticed little groups forming here and there and engaging in whispered conversations. Finally a man went forward, took the professor by the arm and said: "You'd better come with me, partner. Don't be afraid; we can't giver hurt you. It's all for your own good so come erong now." "What do you mean?" asked a frightened professor. "That's all right, pardner. Just come on quiet, you'll fin' out what we'll later. We can't gwine ter tie you only we has ter." By this time several had held or met to a room in the rear of a grocery store where he was guarded by several citizens until morning. Then he was taken fore the ordinary of the county unfit guard. "He's one er them thar lunatics w jumped the asylum lately," explained the spokesman of the crowd. "The ve he went on in the meetin las'n night w sorful-pitchin an rearin an hollerin pullin at his hair like he wanted tern his head off. We had ter keep him der close guard all night fer fear h hurt bisself." "I know all er bout it," said ordinary. "I wuz in the meetin mys but escaped early. What have you ter say fer yerself, sir?" "I was only trying to form a Shakespeare club, when'"— "It's my opinion," interrupted ordinary," that what you needs more a hickory club. I'm goin ter instil this here jury ter fin' you guilty injury in the fast degree, an may and Thomas Savage, the last two named being residents of Los Angeles. No capital stock. The new club will be called the National and will be located in the Fullerton hotel. Mrs. Wesley Alms died on Tuesday night of last week at her residence in Placentia, after several weeks of suffering with heart disease. The Hotel Rossmore in Santa Ana, managed the last four years by Col. J. R. Bowler, will be taken charge of after the first of the month by R. A. Green, formerly connected with the Redondo hotel. W. W. Perkins of El Modena shipped last week a carload of roses to the Chase Nursery company of New York, and another carload will be sent forward in a week or ten days, which will conclude the season's shipments—150,000 plants. A. A. Lester, a passenger conductor on the Los Alamitos branch of the Southern Pacific, on Wednesday of last week fell from his train and was severely injured, being bruised and shaken up and had one of his ankles sprained. Samuel Armor of Orange has received an appointment as document clerk in the legislature, and has left for Sacramento to enter upon the duties of that office. James Eubanks and Miss Minnie Dorr of Fullerton were married on Wednesday of last week. The Johnson-Ford election contest, in which the important office of justice of Fullerton was at stake, has been dropped. Word was received in Fullerton last week of the marriage of Dr. W. A. Connelly, who until a few months ago was a resident of that burg, to Miss M. Grier at Toronto, Canada. Fullerton is soon to be illuminated at night by electric lights. The F. P. Nickey Hardware company of Santa Ana has incorporated with a stock of $25,000. Stockholders are Mr. Nickey and his four employees. On Friday divorces were granted in the superior court to Mrs. J. L. Bohn from W. Bohn, and to Vicenta M. Doyle from James Doyle; all of this city. A. B. Preston of Garden Grove died on Friday from an acute case of cancer of the bowels. The Spirit o Winter The Spirit of Winter is with us, making its presence known in many different ways—sometimes by cheery sunshine and glistening snows, and sometimes by driving winds and blinding storms. To many people it seems to take a delight in making bad things worse, for rheumatism twists harder, twinges sharper, catarrh becomes more annoying, and the many symptoms of acrofula are developed and aggravated. There is not much poetry in this, but there is truth, and it is a wonder that more people don't get rid of these ailments. The medicine that cures them—Hood's Sarsaparilla—is easily obtained and there is abundant proof that its cures are radical and permanent. A NATURAL QUESTION "Have you any two-cent stamps?" To Prevent Iron Rust. Among the new and useful metallurgical processes of note the San Francisco Scientific Press speaks of one by which iron may be effectively protected from rust. In this solution of ferrocyanide is mixed with a flaxseed varnish, to which has been added a small quantity of turpentine or benzol. The evaporation of the alcohol leaves the flaxseed varnish, which forms—a coat and protects the cyanide of iron, the same being deposited upon the metal by the use of the ferrocyanide, the only preparation required by iron for such treatment being the removal of any rust that may have formed on it not admitting of the action of such a solution. Another process of interest to workers in metallurgy is that of substituting the use of manganese for German silver, the different metals and their proportions being as follows: Copper, 67.25 per cent; manganese, 18.50 per cent; zinc, 18 per cent; aluminium, 1.25 per cent, the color of this metal closely resembling German silver, being also fully as strong as the best quality of the latter and possessing superior adaptation for casting. Best Liniment on Earth Henry D. Baldwin, Supt. City Water Works, Shullsburg, Wis., writes: "I have tried many kinds of liniment, but have never received much benefit until I used Ballard's Snow Liniment for rheumatism and pains. I think it the best liniment on earth." 25c, 50c and $1 a bottle at J. P. Hatzfeld's. RULING PASSION Doctor—Your temperature is up to 107 Auctioneer (drowsily)—Hundred an' seven!

Every government and almost every department has its secret codes of signs or words devised by some code composer for use in the transition of messages of supreme importance and with regard to which secrecy vital consideration. One which is not to be the cleverest of all those no use is employed by the United State department. It is called "sphinx." The "sphinx" was derived by one of the officials in the state department and is as susceptible to change as the combination lock of a safe. Its needs have been sent back and it defies all attempts to unravel meaning by those unacquainted with the key. Her Huge Secret Society. A well known Washington woman was doing the cathedral cities of land last summer. Throughout her she wore a tiny American flag plush to the waist of her traveling dress good many of the English people who she did not understand or predeed not to understand what the flag for. "You belong to some secret society," said an English woman whom she was introduced, pointing to the diminutive starry banner. "Yes," responded the Washington woman amiably. "There are 70,000 of us." — Washington Post. Diplomatic, "Herry," she said disconsolate "you didn't give me a birthday gift." By Jove, that's so," said Herry "but you see you always look so young that I can't realize you ever had days." Then she was happy, and he said the mean, subtle smile of a man has saved money. — London Tit-Bi-Briggs—I hear you are living like prince. Griggs—That's right, old man broke most of the time.

Inquired the victim after paying his bill at the Bong Ton hotel. "I think so," replied the clerk. "How many do you want?" "How much are they a piece?" A Cure for Lumbago W. C. Williamson of Amherst, Va., says: "For more than a year I suffered from lumbago. I finally tried Chamberlain's Pain Balm and it gave me entire relief, which all other remedies had failed to do. Sold by all druggists." "Yes, it's true," said Miss De Skreemer. "The death of a rich relative has relieved me of the necessity of making my living by singing in public." "I'm so glad" impulsively exclaimed the other girl. Pains in the Back Are symptoms of a weak, torpid or stagnant condition of the kidneys or liver, and are a warning it is extremely hazardous to neglect, so important is a healthy action of these organs. They are commonly attended by loss of energy, lack of courage, and sometimes by gloomy foreboding and derogency. I had pain in my back, could not sleep when I got up in the morning felt worse than the night before.

"The way of the transgressor is to engage a good lawyer. Lowering of the Great Lakes W. S. Harwood writes of "The Great Lakes" in St. Nicholas. Mr. Harwood says: Geologists point out the fact that this chain of lakes has not always been as it now is; that there was a time when all the lakes were blended into one, saving probably the Mississippi river for its outlet to the Gulf on the south. One geologist says: Every day sees something taken from the rocky barrier of Niagara, and geologically speaking at no very remote time our great lakes will have shared the fate of those which once existed in the great far west. Already they have been reduced to less than one-half their former area, and the water level has been depressed 800 feet or more. The process is pretty sure to go on until they are completely emptied. The cities that stand upon their banks will ere that time have grown colossal in size, then gray with age, then fall into decadence and their sites be long forgotten, but in the sediments that are now accumulating in these lake basins will lie many a wreck and skeleton, tree trunk and floated leaf. Near the city sites and old river mouths these sediments will be full of relies that will illustrate and explain the mingled comedy and tragedy of life. In a certain sense these lakes form one mighty river, draining a region of over 525,000 square miles and finding an outlet for their overflowing water through the swift St. Mary's river at the east end of Superior; through Huron and the St. Clair river and Lake St. Clair and the Detroit river; through Erie and Niagara and Ontario and the St. Lawrence, on to the vast ocean beyond. It is interesting to note that the bottom of Lake Superior, the highest of the lakes is about 400 feet below the surface of the sea at New York harbor. How long will it take the man to the sack if he does not stop the stomach is diseased is like trying to fill the sack with the hole in it. When the stomach and other digestive and nutritive organs are diseased, there is a constant loss of nutrition. Enough is eaten but the body loses flesh—plain proof that the food eaten is largely wasted because it is not digested and assimilated. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It stops the leaks by which nutrition is lost, and enables the building up of the body by the tion derived from food. The gas weight proves the cure. Three years ago I was taken sick with the doctor called nervousness and indigestion writes Mrs Warren E Parker, of Orange, Nassaued, Mass. "He gave me medicine the trouble, but I could not eat even a little or oatmeal without suffering severely. In months I began to have distressing pain in the pit on my stomach. I called the again and he said I had catarrh of stove gave me medicine but it did not do any I lost as pounds in three months. I then nienced taking Dr. Pierce's medicines and began to feel better. I have taken six boots 'Golden Mountain' discovery, two of 'Prescription' and six vials of Dr. Pierce's I have gained ten pounds. Can eat thing." Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure stipitation. MENT OF SHAKESPEARE. Lives Meard Him Reelee and thought Him a Lunatie. Semperant college "professor," as he himself, was stranded in a backwoods settlement, and in ordeal cash enough to help him on the road be proposed a share club for the literary diversion of citizens.

How much property do British subjects own in America? The aggregate, based on absolute facts, is known to be at least 20,000,000 acres, asserts Tit-Bits. The largest of all is probably the Texas possession of the syndicate which includes in its membership the Dukes of Beaufort and Rutland, Earl Cadogan and the Baroness Burdett-Coen. The total amount of land held by this association is 3,800,000 acres. It is, as is the case with most of the Texas land, largely composed of what is called range country—that is, land that is better adapted for cattle raising than anything else. Cattle and wheat are what the British investor seems to think money should be made on in the United States. That is why the syndicate represented by the British capitalist Vincent Scully owns 3,000,000 acres of land in Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois. This property is situated in the heart of the wheat growing section. Two American girls, who now wear, by virtue of their marriage with English peers, two of the highest British titles—the Duchess of Marlborough and Lady Randolph Churchill—are interested with Sir Edward Reed in a syndicate that owns 2,000,000 acres situated in Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico. This is purely a cattle country, and on it range thousands of head of live stock. There is another syndicate which includes among its members the Earl of Dalhousie, as well as Viscountess Cross, Lady Hamilton Gordon, the Marquis Cholmondeley and several others. There is a holding in a still different part of the country, for the lands of the syndicate comprise 1,800,000 acres in Mississippi, including cotton plantations, acres and acres of sugar cane and enough swine to stock 1,000 farms. Lord Tweeddale is a syndicate in himself and owns 1,300,000 acres. Like most individual land owners with large holdings, his property includes a vast territory which, like that of the syndicate spoken of, includes immense tracts of grazing lands. Nearly all of this immense possession is devoted to stock.—St. Louis Republic. How's This? We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh cure. F.

WEST & TRUAX, Wholesale Druggists, Toledo, O. WALDING, KINNAN & MAUVIN, 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 foot-hills, 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 two newspapers. The city also owns its water and lighting plant. FACTS ABOUT ORANGE CO.

The lions on guard above the gate of Myoeena may be older, but they have lost their heads and therewith their main majesty. The lion sentinel over Leonidas' grave at Thermopylae disappeared ages ago, though we still possess the inscription written for it by Simonides: Of beasts the bravest I, of mortals he, Upon this mound of stone now watched by me. The lion of Chroneia commemorates a great and definite event, but he has been broken to pieces. Better luck has attended the lion of Keos. Conchad here on his flank in the living rock, with reverted head, 28 feet from tip to tail, every feature perfect, full of life and majesty, one can hardly think of him as a mere image made with hands. He looks rather as if in some prehistoric age—the colossus of his kind—he might have lain down here alive and turned to stone, possibly after clearing the island of its first occupants, for there is a myth handed down to us by an old writer that Keos was originally inhabited by the nymphs until they were scared away by a lion and fled to Karystos, leaving to the "jumping off place" the name of Lion point. At all events the monument and the myth make a perfect fit. Our lion is the very beast to strike terror into nymphs or any other unwelcome neighbors. Use Allen's Foot-Ease in Your Claves.

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. 6977. 805,063 Orange. 2888. 599,436 Riveride. 2440. 427,067 San Bernardino. 2350. 219,132 San Diego. 2698. 869,419 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. 8844 Orange. 41,549 Riveride. 32,947 San Bernardino. 37,877 San Diego. 10,022 The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 3880; 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 area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or a fourth more than the belaued 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.

THEDFORD'S BLACK-DRAUGHT THE ORIGINAL LIVER MEDICINE A sallow complexion, dizziness, billiousness and a coated tongue are common indications of liver and kidney diseases. Stomach and bowel troubles, severe as they are, give immediate warning by pain, but liver and kidney troubles, though less painful at the start, are much harder to cure. Theford's Black-Draught never fails to benefit diseased liver and weakened kidneys. It stirs up the torpid liver to throw off the germs of fever and ague. It is a certain preventive of cholera and Bright's disease of the kidneys. With kidneys reinforced by Theford's Black-Draught thousands of persons have dwelt immune in the midst of yellow fever. Many families live in perfect health and have no other doctor than Theford's Black-Draught. It is always on hand for use in an emergency and saves many expensive calls of a doctor. Mullins, S.C., March 10, 1961. I have used Theford's Black-Draught for three years and I have not had to go to a doctor since I have been taking it. It is the best medicine for me that is on the market for liver and kidney troubles and dyspepsia and other complaints. Rev. Carille P. B. Morton, LL.D. Waverly, Texas, writes: "Of a morning, when first rising, often find a troublesome collection of phlegm, which produces a cough, and is very hard to dislodge; but a small quantity of Ballard's Horehound Syrup will at once dislodge it, and the trouble is over.

Several years before the discovery of Pithole an Irishman named Morthy and his son Dan came to this country from the Emerald Isle. Dan was a young man of 20, but his father took upon him as a mere boy and seemed to take delight in ridiculing them before people. "Yis, Dan is a good b'y," he would say sarcastically, "but, Danny, me b'y, you'll niver set the river on fire." This was his stock witticism, and it annoyed Dan very much, but he did his best and soon surprised the old gentleman by securing a lucrative job. "Yis, Danny has a job all right," he said. "It's $1.50 a day, but the b'y'll never set the river on fire. Not he." When oil was found at Pithole, Dan arrived to the scene and was soon earning unusually large wages as a teammer. All the petroleum was drawn in barrels, and teams were in great demand. He saved his money, bought an entire lot of land and soon had a well drilled that was producing 100 barrels of oil per day at $10 per barrel. The elder Carthy joined him, saw the well, received a liberal gift of money, and then took his head optimously. "Tis a good thing, Danny," he brooked; "ye're doin well, but mark meorrds, ye'll niver set the river on ore, me b'y." A few days later a flood wrecked one of Dan's small wooden tanks, the oil can down the river, and there was great excitement. As Dan and his father stood on the bank watching the oil float away Dan drew a match and lighted it. "Father," he said coolly, "the next time you say Ol'll niver set the river on fire plaze remember that Ol' had a chance waist, and—and didn't do utoad!" Then he blew out the match—Harper's Bazar.

They exhibited different orders long before the time of Jesus in Egypt, Syria, etc., and were known by the names of Essenlans, Esseenees, Esyans, Coenobites and Faithists, etc., and those on Mount Carmel of whom Elliah, the prophet, was the Six Cups and Saucers for 39 cents Set of six white semi-porcelain cups and saucers in neat fancy shapes, the set is well worth 60c; priced for this sale while they last... 75 cent Work Shirts for 45 cents Men's work shirts, made of strong black drilling, black sateen, or blue and white stripped duck, some few light colored sateen shirts in the fot; well finished serviceable garments in all sizes; good values at 75c; priced for this sale while they last, each... 121-2 cent Torchon Laces, 5 cents per yard Here's a crowd bringer from our lace section for this Pre-Inventory Sale.
