Meeting was called to order by Rev. Burr. After songs and prayer, C. C. Chapman, the chairman of the meeting, was introduced and spoke in part as follows: "You can't make a prosperous city and attract people without adding to the selling value of your land. We are here to see what can be done toward the material advancement of Anaheim. Why have not some of the people flocking to Southern California been attracted here? Shame to Anaheim! It is the open saloon on Sunday. When I bring my family here to church, I drive down the back streets. I am ashamed to pass along the main thoroughfares. Men with families looking for a location will not go to a place where Sunday is observed as it is in Anaheim. Now we want short talks straight to the point." Rev. Burr read a communication from A. W. Maxwell who was unable to attend, in which he assured those assembled of his hearty support in any movement which they might undertake. M. L. Rogers was of opinion that no movement tends to the greater advancement of the material welfare of Anaheim than the closing of saloons and other places of business on Sunday. Ex-Senator Jones spoke along the same line. When an expression was asked from any who favored the present condition Charles Lange responded. He said in part: "This wide-open town you are talking about is only a scare-crow. Lots of people have come here recently. Have any been scared away? Anaheim has in the last six months grown as much if not more than any other town in Southern California outside of the county seats and larger places with additional attractions. I am not a saloon man. I never visit them on Sunday and only perhaps once in a week at other times, so I cannot be called a sa- Moved by Hale, seconded by Bradford, that a committee be appointed to see Messrs.

He said in part: "This wide-open town you are talking about is only a scare-crow. Lots of people have come here recently.Have any been scared away? Anahelm has in the last six months grown as much if not more than any other town in Southern California outside of the county seats and larger places with additional attractions.I am not a saloon man.I never visit them on Sunday and only perhaps once in a week at other times,so I cannot be called a saloon man.Instead of trying to wipe these places out of existencewe should try to elevate them to places of pleasant surroundings and club homes.I suppose many of you here may not know what the inside of a saloon looks likeWhy don't you investigate and find out what they are like? What do you mean by Sunday observance? I went through all the saloons today to see how they were behaving.I found no noise in any of them.The most noise I have found in town was in front of this church this evening.Instead of treating these saloons as satanic subjects we ought to endeavor to elevate themYou talk of the material advancement of the town.The best evidence of it is in your presence in AnahelmThere is a dance going on tonight,and there are other meetings and places of gathering,sow can hardly expect a consensus of sentiment from the meeting.At any rate,我 seem to be alone,and it is hard to convince any one against a bias." A.W.Walsh declared emphatically that the saloon was a curse; and at the same time spoke against Sunday baseball and football. P.H.Krick said that saloon men most abused their privilege on the Sabbath. Miss O.T.Steckert referred to the inconvenience occasioned young girls by having to pass crowds of howling young men on the streets of a Sunday afternoon enroute from a ball game to the saloons.Her effort was applauded.In justice to the youth of Anahelm we will here remark that as a whole they are neither rowdies nor hangers on around saloons.We believe they will average well up with a like number in any city.Rev.Snyder spoke along similar lines.Miss Joseph Hatfield spoke in favor of Sunday baseball,saying that it was not only a healthy and invigorating exercise,but that for young men and boys who six days in the week were compelled to labor in shop and store,高ly essential to health.She also was in favor of the Sunday closing of saloons.Mr Chapman expressed the opinion that card playing was a greater sin even than Sunday ball playing.Rev.Burr said that in his opinion there was not a saloonkeeper who had not violated the law by selling to minors.M.L.Rogers offered the Sunday closing resolutions which were unanimously adopted. Santa Ana Steam Laundry Agency On motion, the indemnity bond of Mrs. Helena Davis was accepted and the two shares of stock represented by certificate No. 107, which is lost, were ordered transferred, one share to T.

The young couple left on the afternoon train for Los Angeles where they will make their home. May prosperity be theirs. Remarkable [Cure of Group—A Little Boy's Life Saved] I have a few words to say regarding Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It saved my little boy's life and I feel that I cannot praise it enough. I bought a bottle of it from A. E. Steere of Goodwin, S. D., and when I got home with it the poor baby could hardly breathe. I gave the medicine as directed every ten minutes until he "throw up" and then I thought sure he was going to choke to death. We had to pull the phlegm out of his mouth in great long strings. I am positive that if I had not got that bottle of cough medicine my boy would not be on earth today. Joel Demont, Inwood, Iowa. For sale by all druggists. Hay and Wood for Sale Good barley hay and dry gum wood for sale at Sam Kraemer's place in Placentia. Money in Cattle F. M. Hildebrandt was in town on Monday on his way from Bolsa to Chino, after having driven a band of 300 cattle to the Borchard ranch, at the first-named place. The cattle were from Mexico and had been in Mr. Hildebrandt's possession five weeks. He is in the business of buying and selling cattle and has handled 1500 head during the past few weeks. He is negotiating for the purchase of a large tract of hill land at La Habra and will go to Sonora again shortly for another trainload of steers. "Some time ago my daughter caught a severe cold. She complained of pains in her chest and had a bad cough. I gave her Chamberlain's Cough Remedy according to directions and in two days she was well and able to go to school. I have used this remedy in my family for the past seven years and have never known it to fail," says Jas. Prendergast, merchant, Annsto Bay, Jamalca, West India Islands. The pains in the chest indicated an approaching attack of pneumonia, which in this instance was undoubtedly warded off by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It counteracts any tendency of a cold toward pneumonia. Sold by all druggists. Prisoner Escapes While enroute to the county jail on Friday afternoon in custody of Constable Llewellyn, and when about a mile south of Orange, George Ellis a negro who had been sentenced to thirty days in the county's bastile for vagrancy, leaped from a car window and escaped. He was arrested on suspicion of having been implicated in the burglary of the Weisel residence some days previously, but as there was not sufficient evidence to convict him the charge was changed to vagrancy, he having been seen begging from house to house. The prisoner secured permission to go to the toilet and the next minute he was seen by Llewellyn making his escape through the window. DeafnessCannotBeCured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the cuscutian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have runbling sound or imperfect hearing; and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Two tickets have been suggested, as follows: Herman Stern, L. E. Miller, J. P. Hatzfeld, C. F. Grim, Frank Baum, H. W. Chynoweth and C. E. Holcomb compose the one while G. W. Boyd, J. S. Howard, L. Asher, W. P. Turner, W. S. Tipton, Dr. H. A. Johnston and P. H. Krick are mentioned as good timber by others. As the names will be voted on separately prospects are that the successful directors will be selected from both tickets. One thing is sure, with such a list to select from a strong and aggressive set of officers for the ensuing year must necessarily follow. A president, secretary and treasurer are to be elected at the first meeting of the new Chamber As it is the intention to extend the work committees on advertising, entertainment and finance will probably be appointed at an early date. A Narrow Escape While Mr. Hildebrandt was driving a band of 300 Mexican steers along West street, at the junction of Center, some days ago, a little girl whom met at that point was for a time in imminent peril of losing her life. Hildebrandt was driving the cattle to the Bolsa and had with him a number of vaqueros. At the point mentioned two men approached on bicycles and Hildebrandt rode on ahead and asked them to dismount while the cattle, which were just off the Sonora range and wild, could be driven by them. The steers were upon the point of a stampede when the little girl approached. Suddenly a part of the band broke off down Center street, while the other bolted down West street. The little girl was in the center and started to run forward towards the vaqueros. The whole band of cattle divided, one part of them going down one thoroughfare and the other down the other, the little girl between them. Hildebrant says that for a time his hair stood on end, he started immediately to the rescue of the girl but feared momentarily that she would be LOCAL JOTTINGS OF INTEREST Chas.

Good Squirrel Poison J. J. Cairns of Lindsay, who is very successful in poisoning squirrels, attests it to the method followed in paring and putting out the poison says there is nothing served in the sparing use of strychnine but believes it putting enough of it into the mixture to kill at the first shot. The mixture and his system of applying it are follows: One ounce strychnine, one half ounce cyanide of potassium and two pounds of sugar, well dissolved and mixed with water, to one gallon wheat; stir the whole until thoroughly mixed and let stand over night to allow the wheat to absorb some of the poison ingredients. In applying to the acreage inQUITION he uses six men abreast at a distance about 50 feet apart. It takes about eight days to cover the 3,400 acres. He goes over the ground three times each year, and after the first time reduces the quantity of strychnine. Advises that the farmers buy the material and prepare their own mixture; he believes the greater portion of it ready-prepared poison is unreliable.Mr.Cairns says bi-sulphide of carbon sure but too slow in the field. It should however always be used around buildings instead of strychnine.Mr.Cairns says it costs him about $300 to rid 3,400 acres of the pest, yet he claims that every squirrel killed at this time is a saving of $$. “It would cost each farmer but little each year for two or three years when the pest is being exterminated,” said Mr.Cairns, “if there was a law compelling the owners of vacant lands do their share of a systematic poisoning.” expression was asked from the present condition change responded.
