FOURTH'S SLIM PARADE WITNESSED BY THRONGS Largest Crowd Ever in Town Sees the Poorest Ever—Brilliant Fireworks—Electrical Illumination. Now that the decorations are down, and the glitter and glare of the celebration have passed, and the pop of the cracker no more jars upon the patriotic nerve, the average citizen has about come to the conclusion that the celebration was rather a one-horse affair after all. True, there were more people in town than we have had before. Probably 5000 is rather below than above the mark. For crowds were scattered over more territory than on former occasions of like character, and the crowds down town were apparently not so crushing as we have seen them. There was much that was enjoyable—every one enjoyed himself—but there was also much that was of the punk variety. The snake man was on the ground early. He came from Los Angeles, and arrived two days be fore the big day. A delapidated merry-go-round pulled in about the same time. When about to begin operations on the glorious day, after men had worked all night to get the old machine together, the engine burst a boiler flue, or something, and went on a strike. A crowd of many hundred gathered about eager for a ride. In this conjuncture of affairs a couple of spavined horses were brought forth, hitched to the works, and the machine made to revolve at a snail's pace. A wheezy hand organ, propelled by a small boy, added further gloom to the surroundings. But the merry-go-round people made a barrel of money. A bunch of fakirs pulled in on Friday and began erecting tents, for Juno and the rest of them; but they reaped no harvest, and will probably give us a wide berth in future. A row of gamblers' tents, within a stone's throw of the speaker's stand, caught a lot of suckers. and some skin-games flourished. Some of the booths were losers, so it is said, but others reaped a harvest. Confetti men caught the crowds right, and a constant stream of the needful rolled into their coffers. The celebration lacked a head and no one seemed to know a thing about anything connected with the celebration. TRESSLAR GOES UP IN A BALLOON Narrowly Escapes Being Tossed in a Blanket for Slighting Remark to Captain of Local Company. Goodlooker Tresslar of the Fullerton Bugle went up in a balloon at the celebration in this city on the Glorious Fourth. He came near going up in a blanket—being tossed by the military boys as a result of a discounty to the captain of the company. Mr. Tresslar occupied a conspicuous place upon the speaker's platform and was easily, next to Caldwell and Judge West, the best-looking man in that vast throng. After the oration, the visiting military men were entertained at a barbecue lunch-eon by members of Company E. Capt. Stern extended an invitation to Caldwell, West and a host of other distinguished civilians to accompany the militia to the armory and partake of the feast. The invitation was accepted, and when the boys arrived at the armory they were made to feel at home by Stern and his fellow officers. Tresslar found himself in this distinguished company, but what business a newspaper man had there is not apparent. During a short conversation Tresslar is said to have so far forgotten himself as to make, so it is given out, an unpardonably rude reference to Stern, said to have been made in the hearing of Caldwell, West and others. Stern called Tresslar aside and said, "See here, young man, I'll not permit people to insult me in my own quarters. I want you to leave the armory. There is the door." Tresslar hit the high places, getting out of the armory, just as the refreshments were being brought on. Few of the military boys were aware of the insult to their captain until Tresslar had departed. Then, when they became aware of the full meaning of the incident, there was a rush to find the good-looking young Fullerton editor, and if he had been found, a blanket tossing would have been added to the many interesting incidents of the day. Instead of being tossed in a blanket, Tresslar went up in a balloon. ANAHEIM NEXT, SO SAYS APOSTLE OF PROHIBITION Campaign Started at the Christian Church on Sunday Evening Seeking to Place Anaheim Among Drv Towns. Dr. E. S. Chapman, the white-haired apostle of prohibition, came 500 miles to tell the people of Anaheim, at the Christian church on Sunday evening, how bad was the damnation of drink and how good it was in respect to the drink evil, to be whiter than snow. Mr. Chapman was camping in the Santa Cruz mountains when he was notified that he had been advertised to speak in this city. He arose before daylight on Saturday morning, and when he reached the little town at the edge of the woods where he was to take train to meet the south-bound limited he found the train had been taken off, and he was forced to make the twenty miles in two hours as best he could. "I hired a livery rig and just pushed on the lines," he said, as his audience, whom he captured as soon as he began talking, broke into audible smiles, later on there was hand-clapping and many "amens." Dr. Chapman caught the limited and arrived in Los Angeles after midnight. He was on hand to take up the gauge of battle for the drys, and a large congregation filled the church to hear him. He was accompanied by his wife and Miss Glenn Well, his private secretary. "California," said the speaker, "has 13,000 saloons, while Mississippi, with 80,000 more population, gets along with 600. In California we have one saloon to every 99 people, counting men, women, children, Chinamen and everyone else. In Mississippi they have one saloon to every 3500 of population. Placed side by side, we would have here in this magnificent golden state, where the best blood of the nation flows through the veins of her people, one saloon to every 300 feet. In Mississippi they have one saloon to every two and a half miles." The speaker exhibited several maps showing the nine counties of Southern California, "all blacker than hell" five years ago. when the crusade of the Anti-Saloon league began its campaign against the whistle-wetters. "I know of no color which so truly portrays the curse of the drink evil as coal-black," he said "and so you see." A band of day and began erecting tents, for Juno and the rest of them; but they reaped no harvest, and will probably give us a wide berth in future. A row of gamblers' tents, within a stone's throw of the speaker's stand, caught a lot of suckers, and some skin-games flourished. Some of the booths were losers, so it is said, but others reaped a harvest. Confetti men caught the crowds right, and a constant stream of the needful rolled into their coffers. The celebration lacked a head and no one seemed to know a thing about anything connected with the celebration. Yet the big crowd enjoyed itself, and during the parade the streets were lined with people. The parade was good—what there was of it. Grand Marshal Dickel bestrode his charger like a brigadier of Uhlan cavalry at Grovelotte. His numerous aides had fancy mounts, and added largely to the picturesqueness of the ensemble. Following the Santa Ana brass band, which discoursed the best music heard here in a long time, came the military Company H of Talbert, Company E of this city, and Company L of Santa Ana, under command of Major Finley. Then came a division of the naval malitia, comprising a detachment of seamen from the government training ship, Pinta, stationed at San Pedro. The boys were under command of Lieut. Junior Grade Ray Costerison, and looked well. Then followed business and lodge floats. First came that of Stern & Goodman of Fullerton. This was followed by the float of the Rebekah lodge of this city. The T. U. C. girls looked lovely in their tally-ho. Chas. Federman's gaily decorated cart was one of the features of the parade. Peter Weisel and Joseph Yoch had their automobiles out, gaily decked out in national colors and evergreens. Then came carriages bearing officers of the parade, orator of the day and distinguished citizens in carriages. The parade passed through downtown streets, and proceeded to the Central school grounds where the exercises of the day were held. Judge West of the superior court was president of the day. Rev. Chapman of the Presbyterian church opened the exercises with prayer. Miss Louisa Paschall read the everglorious declaration of independence. Senator Caldwell was introduced amid applause, and spoke for an hour upon the good old story that is ever new. His address will be found printed in another part of this paper. At 1 o'clock the vast audience dispersed for luncheon at various points: The military were entertained at a barbecue feast by the members of Company E. Here also Senator Caldwell and the distinguished visitors were entertained. Doc. Paschall served barbecued meat to a hungry throng which pronounced the edibles the finest ever, and the ladies of the various churches served lunch to crowds for upward of an hour. Of $50,000,000 authorized issue of San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake bonds, $40,000,000 will be immediately issued to provide funds for the purchase of that portion of the Oregon Short Line railroad south of Salt Lake City. It is understood Senator Clark will take the San Pedro bonds as security. Arrangements have been made for disposing of the remainder of the present issue. The Oregon Short Line will not be paid in securities, but the holders will receive cash for the railroad acquired by Senator Clark and other sponsors of the San Pedro line. Senator Clark, J. Ross Clark, Kerena St. Louis and T. E. Gibbon, general counsel of the San Pedro line have been in New York for a week making final arrangements for the transfer of the Oregon Short Line extension to the San Pedro Line. It has been expected that title to the property would pass immediately, but owing to legal delay the transfer has been postponed, and if present arrangements meet with success Senator Clark will have by this time formally become the owner of about 300 miles of the Oregon Short Line. For all its maturity eyes on Tresslar had departed. Then, when they became aware of the full meaning of the incident, there was a rush to find the good-looking young Fullerton editor, and if he had been found, a blanket tossing would have been added to the many interesting incidents of the day. Instead of being tossed in a blanket, Tresslar went up in a balloon. Change of Firm W. B. Hutchinson, an experienced druggist recently from Tueson, has purchased the drugstore of W. P. Turner, and has assumed control of the business. Mr. Turner's health has been poor, and he was compelled on that account to relinquish charge of his establishment, which has for years been on a good paying basis. In speaking of his retirement he said he was sorry to leave Anaheim, but had to obey positive instructions of his physicians. He has gone to Pasadena, and will leave shortly for the mountains for a season of rest and recuperation. Mr. Hutchinson, the new proprietor, was visiting with his nephew in Orange, and was about to return to the territory when he learned of the opening here, and in a short time made the purchase. Arizona is a trifle too warm for comfort, he says. The thermometer has risen to 120 degrees this summer, and it has been 100 before sun up on several occasions. Mr. Hutchinson is a first-class pharmacist and has come to the conclusion that he has settled in one of the best towns in the state. And he's about right, too. Bond Issue Of $50,000,000 authorized issue of San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake bonds, $40,000,000 will be immediately issued to provide funds for the purchase of that portion of the Oregon Short Line railroad south of Salt Lake City. It is understood Senator Clark will take the San Pedro bonds as security. Arrangements have been made for disposing of the remainder of the present issue. The Oregon Short Line will not be paid in securities, but the holders will receive cash for the railroad acquired by Senator Clark and other sponsors of the San Pedro line. Senator Clark, J. Ross Clark, Kerena St. Louis and T. E. Gibbon, general counsel of the San Pedro line have been in New York for a week making final arrangements for the transfer of the Oregon Short Line extension to the San Pedro Line. It has been expected that title to the property would pass immediately, but owing to legal delay the transfer has been postponed, and if present arrangements meet with success Senator Clark will have by this time formally become the owner of about 300 miles of the Oregon Short Line. Wanted Cutters at apricot dryer on east side of track near Santa Fe depot; we pay more than usual per box. Plenty of At 1 o'clock the vast audience dispersed for luncheon at various points. The military were entertained at a barbecue feast by the members of Company E. Here also Senator Caldwell and the distinguished visitors were entertained. Doc. Paschall served barbecued meat to a hungry throng which pronounced the edibles the finest ever, and the ladies of the various churches served lunch to crowds for upward of an hour. During the afternoon there were concerts and games, and the festivities were brought to a close by a brilliant display of fireworks in the evening. The electrical illumination of the city at night was another pleasing feature and was favorably commented upon by all. Altogether the day was pleasantly spent by all. The crowd was one of the largest ever gathered here, and there were no serious accidents to mar the serenity of the occasion. Fruit Crop C. E. Thurston, eastern agent for a number of California fruit firms, said in New York last week, in speaking of California's fruit crop: "Notwithstanding reports of shortage in the peach crop of the Middle West and Eastern States, a housekeeper does not need to worry but that there will be plenty of fruit for preserving purposes. The State of California has from seventeen to nineteen hundred carloads of fruit to ship this year, and each of these cars contain over eleven hundred boxes. It is self-evident there will be plenty of it. Notwithstanding this quantity, the fruit is of much better quality than in previous years, and although California canners' ideas are much higher than last year, and they are buying freely, still the bulk of the crop will be shipped in a fresh state, as the prospects are favorable for realizing fair prices." Have you listed your property with W.C.Eymann, three doors east of the postoffice, Anaheim. If not, why not? NEXT, SO SAYS TITLE OF PROHIBITION Started at the Christian Church Evening Seeking to Place Him Among Drv Towns. Chapman, the white-haired exhibition, came 500 miles people of Anaheim, at the church on Sunday evening, the damnation of drink it was in respect to the to be whiter than snow. Man was camping in the mountains when he was the had been advertised to his city. He arose before Saturday morning, and reached the little town at the woods where he was to take it the south-bound limited train had been taken off, forced to make the twenty hours as best he could.

Man caught the limited and Los Angeles after midnight, and to take up the gauge the drys, and a large conducted the church to hear is accompanied by his wife Ann Well, his private secretary," said the speaker, "has while Mississippi, with population, gets along with ornia we have one saloon people, counting men, women, Chinamen and everyone missippi they have one salary 3500 of population. My side, we would have, magnificent golden state, first blood of the nation the veins of her people, every 300 feet. In Misave one saloon to every miles." Her exhibited several maps nine counties of Southern full blacker than hell" five when the crusade of the league began its campaign whistle-wetters. No color which so truly course of the drink evil as she said I stand so truly county? Say so, and we stand ready to help you." Speaking of legalizing saloons by license, the white-headed patriarch continued: "What would you say if a man came to you and said: 'How much will you take to permit me to seduce your daughter?' What reply would you make to him? What would you say? That's what you have to say! [Striking one fist into the palm of the other in imitation of the solar plexus.] And you would say to him, Begone! And that if he ever, by word or deed, dared to attempt its accomplishment you would shoot him down like a dog. That's what you would say. "Now, what's the difference between leading your daughter astray by this means or leading your son astray by drink? One is as bad as the other." The chimes in the Catholic church here broke out in an anthem to the skies. It was 9 o'clock and members of that church, a block away were at worship. Dr. Chapman spoke rapidly and with more vehemence, evidently trying to drown out the voice of the pealing bells First it was bells, then it was doctor. It was a pretty race for a few minutes. Then the speaker, who has recently been ill and has not yet fully recovered, stopped off short and was still while the laughing bells sang out their melody. "What's those bells?" he inquired, evidently nettled. "Is that a regular thing in Anaheim, or are they ringing them just to disconcert me?" Nobody said a word; there was no answer, and the bells pealed on in sweetest song, such as we all shall hear before the gates in the gray dawn of the eternal morn. That is, if we are lucky enough to be there. "What's those bells?" the speaker asked impatiently. "Those are the bells in the Catholic church," some one ventured. "Oh, that's different," resumed the speaker, who proceeded in his task. In another instant the bells were still, and then the doctor paid his respects to one of the local newspapers. We wont say which one it is, for we are not looking for a scrap with the doctor. "I have said many bad things about Anaheim in the past, but I have recently had a good many niggles to say about you. The bad things were not of my invention. I was simply depicting things which you yourself created." "You have a newspaper here, which PERSONAL MENTION John Dillon made a business trip to Santa Ana on Tuesday. Mrs. Vinson of Santa Ana has been the guest of Mrs. Chynowith.

Men to be drunkardmen to be in the business bankkards—of being in the money which the buslout that is not the worst curse. Oh, that's different,” resumed the speaker, who proceeded in his task. In another instant the bells were still, and then the doctor paid his respects to one of the local newspapers. We wont say which one it is, for we are not looking for a scrap with the doctor. "I have said many bad things about Anaheim in the past, but I have recently had a good many nice things to say about you. The bad things were not of my invention. I was simply depicting things which you yourself created. “You have a newspaper here, which I have been reading recently with a good deal of interest. I do not know whether the editor of the paper is in the audience or not [he was]; but he appears to be groping around in the dark, evidently seeking the light. [That’s right, doctor.] He says this town can get along with four saloons! [Laughter.] Now, how many saloons does it take to make a saloon town? Long Beach had one and it was shunned by the best people so long as that one saloon was permitted to continue. “You have 16 or 18 saloons in Anaheim [Oh, doctor, only eight; how could you?] Now this newspaper man favors cutting them down to four. "A saloon town always reminds me of a young lady attired in the height of fashion; with a nice clean waist, and a nice clean collar, and—a dirty neck! [Laughter.] It may be well to tell the doctor here, just for his information, that we have, as we say, only eight places in town where whistle wetting is licensed. Now, if a town with eight saloons reminded the good doctor of a lady with a dirty neck, would not a town with four be like that same lady with one side of her neck washed whiter than driven snow? How about that, doctor? Dr. Chapman spoke at length upon the curse of drink, and at his close the audience voted unanimously to inaugurate a campaign for prohibition right here in Anaheim. Pledge cards were passed around and everybody signed them, pledging payment of money each month for a year to assist in carrying on the campaign. The work will continue right along until the next city election, and thereafter, if necessary, in order to make Anaheim a dry town. Boy's Shoes Liveryman Hahn drove the barouche in the parade on the Fourth in which were seated Senator Caldwell, Judge West, president of the day; J. J. Schneider, president of the board of city trustees, and Judge Howard, chairman of the executive committee. As he neared the speaker's stand he overtook a small boy carrying his shoes and stockings. The day was warm and the kid knew what comfort was. He was running along to keep up with the big crowd. Hahn has a soft heart in his breast, even if he does run a livery stable. "Put your shoes in the carriage, boy," he said to the kid, "I'll carry them for you." The boy complied and after the celeb property on Broadway. This week he finished laying the foundation.

Hahn has a soft heart in his breast, even if he does run a livery stable. "Put your shoes in the carriage, boy," he said to the kid, "I'll carry them for you." The boy complied and after the celebration was over Hahn found the shoes in his carriage at his barn. The shoes are too small for Hahn, and now if the eye of the little boy should run across this item he will know where his shoes are, and Hahn will be glad to give them back to him. No charge for this, Hahn. Druggists Arrestee Two Santa Ana druggists, Halsell and Tubbs, were placed under arrest on Tuesday afternoon for selling liquor without a license.

It was said at Santa Ana on Tuesday that the preceding Saturday night had been the quietest Saturday night in town for many years. What Mrs. Ball Did Mrs. N. M. Ball of Santa Ana caused a sensation at her home the other night by swallowing or feigning to swallow poisoned water from steeped poisoned wheat. Mrs. Ball had been having trouble with her husband over the assignment of a piece of property, and pretended to poison herself, it is asserted, to influence him in making out the deed. After announcing that she had taken poison Mrs. Ball fell in paroxysms and attracted neighbors with her shrieks and groans. A physician was summoned, but she refused to take an antidote. Her friends freely express the opinion that the whole thing was feigned and that her illness was pretended. Asher & Falkenstein's Summer Clearance Sale commences July 9th.
