If a woman is inclined to "nerves," she should bring all her common sense to bear upon the case and try her level best to live consistently—that is, if she is weak and inclined to irritability, let her, as far as possible, avoid the things which irritate her. This may seem selfish, but it is the purest charity, and the end justifies the means. The nervous person requires more sleep than one in health, and furthermore she should rest when she feels so inclined, and rest should be properly taken. The room should be thoroughly ventilated with a constant free circulation of air both day and night. Then on a firm, hard bed—avoid the feather bed as you would poison—mildly may rest in peace. She will, of course, use no pillow or, if she must, just the tiniest one, and she will lie most of the time on the right side unless she can cultivate the habit of lying flat on her back all night, which is the best position to take. Children's Teeth. Premature decay of the children's teeth is due more to constitutional defects or derangements than to any localized condition. It means that the teeth are not well organized because of defective nutritional processes which may or may not be hereditary.

To retard these processes is worth a good deal, while effectually to check them is a wealth of good. Give enough granular phosphate of soda, which may be well taken in milk, to keep the bowels.

An authority says that glassware will last longer and look better if the following hints as to its care and preservation are regarded: Tepid water, the best castile or other pure soap and a stiff brush are the first essentials. After washing and rinsing place the cut glass in boxwood sawdust. This will absorb the moisture in the cutting. Next remove the sawdust from the plain surfaces with a soft cloth. By following these directions the original clearness and sparkle of the glass will be maintained. A Window Seat. An acceptable window seat which most girls crave for their rooms starts with one of the low rattan seats without backs that may be bought at any shop offering an assortment of this ware. They come in different lengths so that a little care in selection secures one to fit almost any window space. They may be left the natural color, or preferably, stained to match the finish on the woodwork or the room. A loose cushion adds to their comfort, and a valance may be used if liked. Bacon Grease. Bacon grease, by the way, should never be thrown away. It is useful in a variety of ways. Cabbage chopped very fine and boiled until tender is good seasoned with hot bacon grease poured over it after it has been put in a deep dish.

IN A MINOR KEY Judge Lochren in the United States circuit court, at St. Paul, on Saturday, handed down his decision in the case of the state of Minnesota against the Northern Securities company, the Great Northern Railroad company, the Northern Pacific Railway company and James J. Hill, as president of the Northern Securities company, and individually, in which he sustained the contentions of the defendants and dismissed the bill of complaint of the state. He finds that the Northern Securities has not violated the states laws forbidding the consolidation of parallel and competing lines of railway, through its ownership of the stock of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific railways. He refuses the injunctions asked by the state of Minnesota to restrain the Securities company from voting the stock of the two railroad companies, or either of them. The decision affects the results of the federal government's victory in the circuit court in no way whatever. The federal suit involved the same defendants and the same general state of facts, but was based on a totally different contention of law. The federal suit in which the Securities company was beaten was prosecution for violation of the Sherman anti-trust law passed by the federal congress. The state suit in which the Securities company genius and was aimed at the political vitals of the president with a deadly intent. Since then the method of attack has undergone a change, apparently with a view of consulting public opinion and deflecting it by going with it, instead of trying to head it off and turn it aside. What the president does is indorsed, but immediately following the indorsement it is pointed out how the same thing might have been better done, or that the suggestion of the method was derived from precedent if the action were excellent. The studied effort to minimize the personality of the president, to impugn his motives, and when credit cannot be withheld from an act to represent it as copied from some one else, is very apparent, and yet it is all ably done and so subtly that the reader who constantly absorbs it and is not on guard against it is finally infected by its spirit and is "worked" just as the promoters of this style of attack intend it shall be." But these journals, daily, weekly and monthly, according to the San Francisco Call do not rely solely upon a negative position to reduce the influence of the president. They both push and pull. The friendliest hand held out to the Democrats is theirs. No opportunity is lost to commend the conservative past of the Democratic party and to urge that it seek success by a conservative future. Mr. Cleveland is constantly commended as the ideal of conversatism, and it is repeatedly shown that he or a candidate whom he will SHERWOOD OPPOSES MERGE Sees Difficulties in Way of Joint Ownership of Cajon Canal-Assumes to Speak for the "Minority." G. W. Sherwood has issued a letter to stockholders of the Anaheim Union Water company, from which the following points are taken: "At the regular meeting of the board held July 18th, the litigation committee presented a communication explanatory of their previous report recommending the sale of a one-half interest in a portion of our right of way to the S. A. W. I Co. and the acquirement of certain rights from the Irvine Co., which had already appeared in this paper. Messrs Zeyn, Crowther, McDermont and Bradford, a majority of the board, asserted themselves in favor of the adoption of the original report, and stated that their minds were made up and that they favored immediate action. However, after the solicitation of the minority action was deferred to a special meeting to be held July 31st at 2 p.m., when it is expected the report will be adopted. After the request of the minority of the board, which represents nearly one-half the stock voted at the last election and also many stockholders, I desire to express our views as to the unwise and dangerous action proposed by the majority. At the outside we assert that we are in no way opposed to the joint development of the resources of the river, but are in favor of it. The present proposition however, contemplates only the sale of a one-half interest in our right of way with no strings to it, and the joint acquirement of Irvine's rights and is unwise and dangerous for many reasons. 1st. The attorney reports that without out the consent of the Bixbythe canals cannot be enlarged to admit the S. A." The decision affects the results of the federal government's victory in the circuit court in no way whatever. The federal suit involved the same defendants and the same general state of facts, but was based on a totally different contention of law. The federal suit in which the Securities company was beaten was prosecution for violation of the Sherman anti-trust law passed by the federal congress. The state suit in which the Securities company wins, was based on an allegation that the defendants violated acts of the Minnesota legislature, forbidding the consolidation of parallel and competing lines of railroad. One can scarcely pick up an Eastern magazine or periodical without seeing some startling reference to California, as going to show her undisputed superiority when it comes to enjoyment of everything good upon the footstool. This is true to some extent of London and other foreign publications. Pick up a magazine or newspaper at random nowadays and it's an even chance that something nice can be found therein relative to the golden state. The New York World is the latest to say a word of commendation about us, and it says it neatly, to the following effect: "Eight thousand carloads of green fruit have come East from California this season, and shipments are going on at the rate of 100 carloads daily. In the winter California ships over 10,000 carloads of oranges and lemons, and in the fall thousands of cars of raisins, dried prunes and dried, evaporated and canned fruit of various kinds. No other state has the flow of horticultural products comparing in volume and regularity with this. California is called the golden state, but in the last census year the value of its fruit was nearly twice that of its gold. The mines dug $15,179,800 from the hills; the fruit-growers coaxed $28,280,104 from their trees and vines. Incidentally, California's wheat was worth more than her gold, and so was her hay, but that's another story. "The ex-golden, now fruit, state, stands first in the Union in peaches, plums, prunes, pears, apricots, grapes, oranges, lemons, grape fruit, olives, figs and nuts, and second in cherries. Of some of these she produces more than all the rest of the United States combined; of others, she is practically the only producer we have. In some she supplies sub-and monthly, according to the San Francisco Call do not rely solely upon a negative position to reduce the influence of the president. They both push and pull. The friendliest hand held out to the Democrates is theirs. No opportunity is lost to commend the conservative past of the Democratic party and to urge that it seek success by a conservative future. Mr. Cleveland is constantly commended as the ideal of conversatism, and it is repeatedly shown that he or a candidate whom he will actively support has a chance to carry the pivotal states of New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Indiana. Harper's Weekly advises that Mr. Bryan be treated gently and politely. The party must win, it says, by repudiation of his politics, but by retaining his allegiance and support. Therefore the buffets of political fortune which beat upon him must be softened by praise of his great abilities and flattery soothing to his vanity. Every departure of the party from Bryanism is hailed with gladness. The Iowa convention was quite smothered in bouquets, and the hand of the trust was never more plainly shown than in the apology for the anti-trust plank in its platform. It was explained that the makers of that plank were aware of the impossibility of making it work in practice, therefore it was adopted to soothe public sentiment and is to be considered as merely for decorative purposes. All of this keen and able effort to injure the president is to be taken as the highest testimony to his ability, courage and fidelity. He finds laws which enforced limit the power of the trusts for harm while leaving it unimpaired to do what they may be capable of doing. He has enforced the law, hence this cunning attack upon him, which will not deceive many people nor affect the result." Here's a blood-curdling story from Riverside. The Riverside boys always were top-notchers at the business. The yarn appears complete, in one installment, as follows: "Riverside, July 30. — About 9 o'clock last night a distinct earthquake shock was experienced in this vicinity. At West Riverside, on a ranch belonging to S.B.Evans, there is a lake three miles long, the water of which fell eight inches, and according to Mr.Greer, who is in charge of the ranch, the air was so strongly charged with sulphur fumes as to cause his dog to sneeze. This express our views as to the unwise and dangerous action proposed by the majority. At the outside we assert that we are in no way opposed to the joint development of the resources of the river, but are in favor of it. The present proposition, however, contemplates only the sale of a one-half interest in our right of way with no strings to it, and the joint acquirement of Irvine's rights and is unwise and dangerous for many reasons. Ist. The attorney reports that without out the consent of the Bixbys the canal cannot be enlarged to admit the S.A.V.I.Co. The committee's report states that our right of way is held by "estoppel." The attorney asserts that it is held by a deed. In answer to a question he further asserted that as one of the considerations for said deed they (the Bixbys) were given the right to have water on 50 shares of stock at stockholders' rates. Whatever be the truth of the matter it would seem to be the part of wisdom to stop a bit and unravel the tangle before we contract to give a deed, and a "satisfactory title" to something that we do not possess and for anything we know cannot acquire. 2d. The joint possession of the Irvine right of way and water rights would place us at the mercy of the S.A.V.I.Co. In the matter of future development of water. It will be remembered that Engineer Eaton's report showed that we loss from 200 to 300 inches between the division gate and the headgate which could be saved by building a flume between these two points. The right on way we already hold, but it seems no right to build a flume on it, or to change the present mode of conveying water; and no attempt has been made to acquire such a right. If joint right of way is acquired we will be debarred from building the flume and any improvements to be made above the headgate will have to await the pleasure and convenience of the S.A.V.I.Co. Neither is any time specified for the construction of the joint canal. With joint ownership the S.A.V.I.Co. can compel us to leave things in their present condition for years if they see fit. Again, at the end of the proposal joint canal the S.A.V.I.Co. will be enabled to develop a considerable power, with which they can, if they wish, pump water from wells, tunnels or other developments on their own land, at the head of their own canal. It is true that the two companies have an agreement by which we would be entitled to half the water produced from any developments by paying half the cost, but what could we do with water developed at the head of the S.A.V.I.Co.'s canal? The cost of either conveying it to the Anaheim canal or pumping it into the Cajon canal would be so great as to render it impractical. The binding character of the agreement mentioned has never been passed upon, and for anything we know it may not be legally worth the paper it is written on. In any case its provision could easily evade by leasing th The ex-golden, now fruit, state, stands first in the Union in peaches, plums, prunes, pears, apricots, grapes, oranges, lemons, grape fruit, olives, figs and nuts, and second in cherries. Of some of these she produces more than all the rest of the United States combined; of others, she is practically the only producer we have. In some she supplies substantially the whole American market, and has a surplus for export. Unfortunately, the growers have not heretofore enjoyed the reward they should have reaped from their wonderful achievements. The railroad and middlemen have absorbed most of the profits of the industry. But fruit-raisers are too intelligent to have overlooked the advantages of combination, and they have reason to hope that the experiments they have been making for years in the way of marketing their own products and regulating the distribution to suit the demand will put them, in time into the position occupied before the recent slump in Wall Street by other trust magnates." The Harper publications, like the New York Sun and several other popular daily, weekly and monthly journals in the East, belong to Mr. J. P. Morgan and other gentlemen who are vitally interested in the great capitalization called trusts. A study of the political columns of those publications is of interest because it reveals the high order of talent with which their owners can command and the use of that talent, in the most subtle manner, to underline President Roosevelt. When the court decided the railroad merger adversely to Hill the Sun treated it editorially in a style that showed not only talent, but business. The yarn appears complete, in one installment, as follows: "Riverside, July 30. — About 9 o'clock last night a distinct earthquake shock was experienced in this vicinity. At West Riverside, on a ranch belonging to S. B. Evans, there is a lake three miles long, the water of which fell eight inches, and according to Mr. Greer, who is in charge of the ranch, the air was so strongly charged with sulphur fumes as to cause his dog to sneeze. This is all the more remarkable as there are no sulphur springs in that vicinity. Mr. Greer says that at the time the shock was felt there was a noise among the tules bordering the lake which resembled the trampling of a large drove of horses, and this morning it was found that many of these tules had the appearance of having been beaten down. Water in the lake is slowly rising to its former level, although this afternoon it still was about four inches lower than it was before the earthquake. Tho fumes of sulphur also remain in the air." BRIDGE DAMAGED The bridge over the river at the crossing west of Santa Ana was some days ago badly damaged by the passage of a heavy traction engine, whose weight caused the structure to sag for a distance of more than thirty feet. The bridge has been closed for repairs and no heavy traffic allowed upon it. Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do is tenfold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O., contains no mercury, and is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. In buying Hall's Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine. It is taken internally and made in Toledo, Ohio by F. J. Cheney & Co. Testimonials free. Sold by druggists. Price 75c per bottle. Hall's Family Pills are the best, have an agreement by which we would be entitled to half the water produced from any developments by paying half the cost, but what could we do with water developed at the head of the S.A.V.I.Co.'s canal? The cost of either conveying it to the Anaheim canal or pumping it into the Cajon canal would be so great as to render it impractical. The binding character of the agreement mentioned has never been passed upon, and for anything we know it may not be legally worth the paper it is written on. In any case its provision could be easily evaded by leasing the waterpower to a private company which could in turn develop water and sell it to the S.A.V.I.Co. and leave us without recourse. Thus it clear that by entering into the proposed contract without further understanding and agreements we place ourselves completely in the power of the S.A.V.I.Co. And for what? Aside from the paltry consideration offered for all these rights and privileges, the majority are unable to point to anything that we will gain except that we will "cement the cordial relations between the two companies." Do we gain any water? Not a drop that we cannot save by improving the ditch ourselves. Indeed we lose, as we must furnish Irvine water in trough (through metal pipes) sufficient for watering ALL THE STOCK, which may be pastured and maintained by the party of the first part on ANY OR ALL of said lands. Will anything be saved on construction expenses? That is, will our share of the cost of a joint canal be less than the cost of improving that portion alone? It will be more, as much extra excavation will be necessary; cement gates may have to be torn out and replaced; the cement ditch already built raised and perhaps altered. In addition there will be the expense of obtaining right of way for and installing the Irvine troughs (with metal pipes) and providing for the division of the water. It is certain that the cost of joint canal will be much more than double that of a canal for ourselves alone. In addition there must be taken into account the inevitable loss of income, deprivation of water, etc., incident to having the water out of th WOOD OPPOSES MERGER facilities in Way of Joint Ownerof Cajon Canal—Assumes to break for the "Minority." Sherwood has issued a letter holders of the Anaheim Union company, from which the foloints are taken: The regular meeting of the board 18th; the litigation committee a communication explanatory previous report recommending of a one-half interest in a porright of way to the S. A. V. The acquirement of certain from the Irvine Co., which has appeared in this paper. Messrs. Newther, McDermont and Bradmajority of the board, asserted in favor of the adoption of final report, and stated that bids were made up and that they immediate action. However, at estation of the minority, action forced to a special meeting to be 31st at 2 p.m., when it is exported report will be adopted. At most of the minority of the which represents nearly onestock voted at the last election many stockholders, I desire to our views as to the unwise and action proposed by the manual outside we assert that we are opposed to the joint development resources of the river, but worry of it. The present propowever, contemplates only the one-half interest in our right with no strings to it, and the requirement of Irvine's rights; wise and dangerous for many The attorney reports that withconsent of the Bixby canal enlarged to admit the S. A. ditch, from which we are inadequately protected in the proposed contract. 3d. The committee states that the method of the division of the water is a "matter of detail." So it is, and a most important one that should be settled beforehand and made part of the contract. The method talked of by them, that of building a long stretch of canal with a partition in the middle, is unsuitable for the reasons that the Santa Ana water will be dropped from the canal, affecting the velocity, while ours will remain in the upper level. An adjustment which might be correct for one depth of water would be incorrect for a greater or less depth. Such an arrangement could also easily be "monkeyed" with. This method of dividing the water has been condemned by Engineer Eaton as utterly impracticable. As I have stated before, the only way to secure a fair division of the water is over a wier as is done at present. Whether there is sufficient fail in the canal to admit the installation of a weir has not been ascertained. It is a "detail." The method of turning out the Bixby water above the point of division, which is the most serious complication in the whole matter, the committee states is "too simple to require demonstration." To digress for a moment I will state that contrary to all decent parliamentary usage the minority has been denied a representation on the committee, who have conducted their negotiations in secret; and have asked no advice nor offered any explanations. Their attitude has been the well-known one of "the public be d——d." It is only owing to the changed condition of things since the palmy days of the executive session, in which this same clique conducted their former real estate speculations, that the stockholders are permitted to know anything about the matter at all. They consider that only use a stockholder can be put the joint possession of the Irvine way and water rights would at the mercy of the S. A. V.

In answer to a further asserted that as one considerations for said deed, (Bixbys) were given the right water on 50 shares of stock at their rates. Whatever be the matter it would seem to be wisdom to stop a bit and unangle before we contract to feed, and a "satisfactory title" being that we do not possess anything we know cannot ac- The engineer report showed that we lose 300 inches between the ditches and the headgate which saved by building a flume below two points. The right of ready hold, but it seems not to build a flume on it, or to the present mode of conveying; and no attempt has been acquired such a right. If a lot of way is acquired we will need from building the flume; improvements to be made headgate will have to await care and convenience of the S. A. V. I. Neither is any time specimen construction of the joint With joint ownership the S. Co. can compel us to leave their present condition for may see fit. At the end of the proposed the S. A. V. I. Co. will be able to develop a considerable with which they can, if they tap water from wells, tunnels and developments on their own head of their own canal. Thus that the two companies agreement by which we would add to half the water produced developments by paying half but what could we do with developed at the head of the S. Co.'s canal? The cost of either going to the Anabeim canal or into the Cajon canal would at as to render it impractical. Induding character of the agreement has never been passed for anything we know it may generally worth the paper it is in. In any case its provisions easily evaded by leasing the that contrary to all decent parliamentary usage the minority has been denied a representation on the committee, who have conducted their negotiations in secret; and have asked no advice nor offered any explanations. Their attitude has been the well-known one of "the public be d——d." It is only owing to the changed condition of things since the palmy days of the executive session, in which this same clique conducted their former real estate speculations, that the stockholders are permitted to know anything about the matter at all. They consider that the only use a stockholder can be put to is vote (by proxy.) But to return, the committee were satirically invited with regard to the "too simple" matter to turn loose a little information without any expectation of results. Mr. Bradford, however, 'in an uncautious moment, deigned to inform us that the thing could be done by turning out 200 inches to Bixby, dividing it, and running one half back into the Santa Ana part of the division gate. Very simple! The only difficulty I see with it is that the Bixby's have at least three gates, one of which is about two miles above the division point, and the nearest is at least one-half mile; and a subsidiary ditch would be impracticable. It is feared that some designing person has been "stringing" Bradford. If this is a sample of the manner in which they have considered the matters at issue it is no wonder that they consider it good policy to keep silent and "saw wood." This problem can no doubt be solved, in fact I can at any time furnish its solution; but it should be done before the contract is drawn, and made a part of it, in order to avoid certain trouble and expense in the future. 4th The estimate of cost set forth in the report was prepared by Mr. Kellogg and myself. It remains as we prepared it with the exception that the value of the right of way has been reduced from $5500 to $2000. Our instructions were to ascertain, not what the canal had cost the A. U. W. Co., but what it would cost at the present time to duplicate our improvements. The estimate was made in a few hours' time, from meager data, and is extremely low. I did not insist on more careful consideration of the matter, as it was then our intention to claim a half interest in the valuable waterpower, the value of which Kellogg placed at $40,000 in an address at meeting of the S. A. V. I. Co. stockholders. If the S. A. V. I.

FARMERS INSTITUTE AT LA HABRA Prof. Cook Meets With Horticulturalists and Arranges an Interesting Program. Representative farmers met at La Habra valley schoolhouse some days ago and arranged to hold a farmers' institute August l7th. Prof. A.J.Cook of Pomona college presided. The following committees were named: Arrangements, A.L.Roach,F.W.Bishop and F.A.Aldrich; exhibits,C.W.Leftingwell,L.Juehm and J.G.Launer; music,C.W.Gould,Ralph Jackson,Miss Daisy Wester; decoration,John Baldwin,Miss Lida Gould,Miss Olga Luehm. Papers were decided upon as follows: Morris Cusick, irrigation; Prof.Cook,the silo; F.R.Aldrich,fruit drying;Mr.Ware walnut blight;Mr.Reed,co-operation;Mrs.Helen Cusick,a topic of her own selection;S.M.Smith,cultivation;H.M.Little,hog raising;F.W.Bishop,the best way of raising water.A movement has been started for the formation of a La Habra valley farmers' club. Sunset Beach Articles of incorporation have been filed with the county clerk at Santa Ana by the Sunset Beach company,the objects of which corporation are to purchase,acquire,inherit,hold,lease,sell,mortgage improve.farm or deal in real or personal property in the State of California,with principal place of business in the city of Santa Ana.The new company owns land near Pacific City,and its directors are:A.E.Pomeroy,Los Angeles;F.ERobinson,Long Beach;C.S.HoffandS.H.Finley,Santa Ana;Jacob StarnFullerton,S.Townsend,Loug Beach,andJ.N.Anderson,Santa Ana.Acording to articles of incorporationthe capital stock shall be $150,000 andthe amount subscribed isthe same. The reading character of the agreement has never been passed for anything we know it may legally worth the paper it is in. In any case its provisions easily evaded by leasing the water to a private company, would in turn develop water, fit to the S. A. V. I. Co. and without recourse. Thus it is at by entering into the contract without further underwriting and agreements we place completely in the power of the S. A. V. I. Co. For what? Aside from the paltry mention offered for all these rights leges, the majority are unable to anything that we will gain that we will "cement the cordial between the two companies." In any water? Not a drop that must save by improving the ditch. Indeed we lose, as we must Irvine water in troughs (with metal pipes) sufficient for ALL THE STOCK, which may be used and maintained by the first part on ANY OR ALL bonds. Anything, be saved on construcuses? That is, will our share cost of a joint canal be less than of improving that portion it will be more, as much extra loan will be necessary; cement they have to be torn out and re-cement ditch already built and perhaps altered. In addition will be the expense of oblige of way for and installing the troughs (with metal pipes)iding for the division of the It is certain that the cost of a canal will be much more than that of a canal for ourselves in addition there must be taken account the inevitable loss of inprivation of water, etc., including the water out of the power, the value of our right of way, which is an equal factor with the water in the production of the power, should be correspondingly increased. Nor was the consideration for the right of way, which Mr. Melrose says was the right to have water on 50 shares of stock, or the same thing as 50 shares of non-assessable stock, taken into consideration, as I did not know of it at the time, supposing that our right of way was held by prescription (or stopple.). This item alone is of equal value to the total consideration we are to receive. It would seem that in "cementing the cordial relations between the two companies" we are to furnish pretty much all the cement. A contract made under such conditions, in the face of the opposition of one-half the stockholders, by a bare majority, who procured their advantage by political methods that would disgrace Tammany is certain to lead to trouble in the future, and can be of no benefit to either company. In my opinion the stockholders who oppose this infamous deal, the consumption of the cunning scheming of a man who holds but a nominal interest in either company, will be justified in exhausting the last resources of the law to defeat it. The question is asked, why persons representing large interests should go into such a scheme, if it is not "a good thing." Hades only knows. Why did they waste our money on the Yorba reservoir scheme, acting under the advice of the same engineer who counsels them now? Why did the power behind the throne at the time of the last election offer to purchase our interest in the Durkee ranch? Why? Why? Why? ad nauseam. A charitable answer would be because they do not know any better; there is another perhaps more to the point. One might ask why does our land in this most favored locality sell for half what it does in Riverside and Redlands? Why does the Santa Ana advise new comers not to buy our debt-tridden water rights? Is it because of the fearful mismanagement of the past with the same element still in the saddle? How long. Mr. Stockholder, do you think you can stand it? G. W. Sherwood. Santa Ana Bonds Santa Ana trustees have fixed upon $100,000 as the total amount to be voted on in the coming bond election for the various contemplated municipal improvements. Sixty thousand dollars is for the municipal power and lighting system for commercial and street purposes, $20,000 for the city hall, $12,000 for a schoolhouse in the Fourth ward, and the remaining $8000 for a fire alarm system and other improvements in the fire department. The date of the election and other details have not been fixed. The proposed $100,000 bond issue has occasioned little comment, either favorable or otherwise.
