McKINLEY CHAIRMAN OF THE DELEGATION Men Who Will Represent California at the Republican National Convention On Monday next Memorial day will be observed in time-honored fashion by Malvern Hill post. G. A. R., and Women's Relief Corps of Fullerton. Members of the post and their friends from the entire countieside will gather at the Anaheim cemetery at 10 o'clock for the purpose of decorating graves of the departed. There will be no procession of vehicles as in former years, but each one will drive to the cemetery as best suits him. Those coming from a distance will bring lunches, which will be partaken of under shade of the trees. The afternoon's exercises will be held at the opera-house, the big walnut grove adjoining the cemetery where the exercises are usually held being unavailable owing to low-hanging limbs as well as being flooded by irrigation. Exercises at the opera-house will begin at 1:30 o'clock. There will be a program of music and literary numbers and the oration of the day will be delivered by Clyde Bishop of Santa Ana. Bishop is the youngest man who ever delivered a Memorial-day address in the county, and it is said the distinction reaches out and includes the counties of Southern California. Though young in years he is talented and will probably be heard from in future in political as well as other fields of usefulness. Of course there is no politics in observances of Memorial day, and graves of blue and gray—honored defenders of the right as they saw it—are strewn with flowers by loving hands of the living. But an interesting story is told concerning Bishop's politics which it may not be out of place to refer to here. The young man had been a Democrat and went into the field laboring in that political faith, when the Seventh regiment was called out during the Spanish war. He was heard from in various ways while the troops were stationed at the Presidio, and when after months of waiting the regiment was ordered home because there was nothing to fight, Bishop came home to find that his party, which was then in the midst of a state campaign, had denounced the war against the Filipinos and referred to the American troops in terms On motion the meeting adjourned. P. H. KRICK, Secy. EXAMINER'S WRITE-UP The Los Angeles Examiner of Monday prints an excellent write-up of Orange county and its different towns, but it prints an antiquated map of a route once proposed for the electric railway, but which has been abandoned for months. This is the route surveyed last year through Garden Grove, but for which right of way was not secured. As all the world knows Huntington's efforts to bring cars into Orange county are now centered on the line building along the coast from Long Beach to Bay City, Anaheim Landing, Bolsa Chica, Huntington Beach and Newport. A double gang of graders are at work on the roadbed which extends within a short distance of Bolsa Chica. At Anaheim Landing a gang of bridge builders have been employed for some weeks past in constructing a bridge across the channel leading into the inner bay. Thus the road when built will span at this point the only body of salt water traversed by any railway line in Southern California. The route will be one of great picturesque beauty, being for miles in sight of the sea, and at the Landing, as here pointed out, the rails leaving the mainland and projecting for a considerable distance over the water. Cars are to be running to Newport Beach over this line sometime in July, and then the Southern Pacific railway running from the latter point to Santa Ana, through this city and on to Los Angeles will be turned into an electric line and the whole operated as a scenic loop line that will be without parallel for natural beauty throughout the state. The excellence of the Examiner's write-up is marred by publication of this map of an abandoned route. Many changes have occurred on the railroad checkerboard since the beginning of the year, and much railroad work is cut out for this valley in the near future.

Owing to the prevalence of an epidemic of measles among scholars the Fullerton grammar school was closed temporarily last week by order of the school trustees. The number of children kept from school had gradually grown until fears were entertained for the average daily attendance, by which the appropriation of state school funds is made. It is possible an additional two weeks will be added to the term in order to make up for the loss of time. The number of students out of school last week was 63. Clarence Perdomo of this city and Earl Crawford of Olive set out some days ago to see the world, and will make St Louis their objective point. The boys were seen in Los Angeles a day after leaving, and last week a gentleman living in Orange county who crossed the ferry from Oakland to San Francisco was informed by Fred G. Athearn, former principal of the high school here, that Perdomo and a companion had been seen in Oakland that day (Saturday last, the 21st.). Perdomo is a nephew of the Colombian general of that name, who some months ago, during the Panama incident, came into some notoriety. Mrs. Perdomo, mother of the youth, recently moved from this city to her ranch at Yorba, and her son remained with his uncle's family in town. Some days ago the latter departed for Covina, and the following day young Perdomo and Crawford set out for Los Angeles and San Francisco. The two boys are resolved to see the world, and will doubtless show up in due season at the exposition city. Church Notices At the German Methodist church Rev. Hermann will preach Sunday, May 29th. Rev. Hermann is a General Conference delegate from Nebraska. The Ladies' Aid of the Presbyterian church will meet this (Thursday) afternoon at the home of Mrs. Chapman.

LOCAL JOTTINGS OF INTEREST National Game At Athletic Park on Sunday Olinda and the Woodmen of Los Angeles, ancient enemies on the diamond, will meet in a fierce contest for supremacy. The foreigners have some well known players among them, as will be seen by the line-up. Hitt and Mangerina will be in the points, and these supporting them are clever ball players. For the foothill men Uncle Jasper Crandall will slant the ciphers up the main alley. Uncle Jasp has agreed to comb the hay stickers out of his whiskers and look as near civilized as it is possible for him. Perris will catch the old man, and Schoolmaster Crips will perform in right lease. Burke will rattle the tambourine around second, Tuffree in center and all the old favorites in accustomed places. This is the fourth game of a series with the Los Angeles City League. The foothill boys have taken two games and the foreigners one. If the Woodmen are not skinned this time the bleacherite misses his guess. The line-up: WOODMEN OIL WELLS Laswell... Left Field... Wagner West... Center Field... Tufree Simons... First Base... Isbell Dorsey... Right Field... Crips Starkey... Shortstop... Burnett Ross... Third Base... Head Simpson... Second Base... Burke Mangerina... Catcher... Perris Hitt... Pitcher... Crandall Sykes... Subbuteite... Rayburn PICKUPS AND THROWS Morley's loss of two games to Oakland on Sunday places the nine lower down in the percentage column than has hitherto been its unhappy lot, since being born into the league. Morley misses Dillon, but may entertain a notion that his big first baseman may yet come back to Erin. The Seraphs are now in fourth place and being again in their home grounds may save themselves from going down still further to wallow in the mire of defeat with Portland. With Dillon back the nine could still show its heels to the league before the season closes at the end of the year.

Rishel of Hollywood, representing the Security Savings bank of Los Angeles, was in town this week looking over the Del Campo hotel tract, which is owned by the bank.

Mr. and Mrs. Strassheim who have been guests of Mr. and Mrs. Hart for several weeks past departed this week for a tour of the coast previous to returning to their home in Chicago. They will visit at Pasadena, Santa Barbara, Monterey and other coastal points of interest and will return east over the northern route. Mr. Strassheim is well known in Chicago banking business, and he and his wife have enjoyed a pleasant vacation and outing with friends in various sections of Southern California. Stella Carter, a woman who formerly claimed Anaheim as her residence, is wanted by the authorities of Santa Ana, a warrant for her arrest having Railroad Wreck Train service on the Santa Fe was disrupted for several hours on Monday afternoon by a wrecked freight train at Northam. Several cars loaded with rock left the rails early in the afternoon on the north-bound freight and obstructed the track until after the late afternoon trains had transferred passengers around the stalled train. The north-bound San Diego flyer was fifteen minutes late arriving at Santa Ana. It found orders awaiting it to cut out a sleeper, and after fifteen minutes switching another order came from Los Angeles telling it to take up the sleeper again. Three-quarters of an hour late the flyer pulled out, to be followed fifteen later by the accommodation, when at Orange a colored porter threw the belated passengers into a panic by announcing a wreck up the road. Arriving at Northam passengers alighted and walked around the wrecked freight, taking another train on the other side. The San Diego flyer, taking aboard passengers transferred from the south-bound trains backed away until the Y at Orange was reached. Here the train righted itself and proceeded on its way. A wrecking train passed through here from San Bernardino at 7 o'clock, and the wreck was cleared away before daylight Tuesday morning. No one was hurt. Father Accidentally Killed E. L. Clauson, assistant to Mr. Darling at the Southern Pacific depot, was seated at the office at the passenger station on Monday evening at 5:30, when a call came over the wire from Riverside for this city. Clauson answered the telegraph, and learned it was a message for him, the sender being the railroad agent at Riverside. Mr. Clauson took off the message, which read: "Your father was accidentally killed today. The body will be brought here." Clauson was almost prostrated at the distressing news. He secured a temporary leave of absence and the following day went to Riverside, where he has since remained. The Riverside Press of Tuesday evening contains the following account of the accident: "A telegram was received this morning from the Virginia Dale Mining district announcing that E. P. Clauson a well known Riverside carpenter, had met a violent death there while erecting a gallows frame in one of the mines of the district. Details are not obtainable, but it appears that he slipped and fell down the shaft, being killed instantly. Clauson was about 63 years of age, and was a member of the G. A. R. Post, A. O. U. W. lodge, Carpenters’ Union, Masons and Calvary Presbyterian church. He leaves now in fourth place and being again in their home grounds may save themselves from going down still further to wallow in the mire of defeat with Portland. With Dillon back the nine could still show its heels to the league before the season closes at the end of the year. Prof. Hussman made a short pasear to Los Angeles on Monday, remaining over until next day to see the sights and take a ride on the street cars. Mr. Litten of the West End has purchased a building lot from the Metz estate on Claudina street and will soon begin the erection of a residence there upon.

Adolph Rimpau has a century plant in his garden at the corner of Center and Olive streets which is getting ready to bloom. It has shot up a stalk to a height of thirty feet and is preparing to surmount it with the beautiful flower of its species. Frank Stone and W. W. Scott are placing a new roof upon the frame building in the Metz estate on Center street. A new stairway will replace the old one leading to the upper floor of the two-story building, and other alterations and improvements are in contemplation. Charley Rogers was in town for a brief visit on Monday. He came down from San Francisco to Los Angeles on a business trip, and extended his visit far enough to take in his old stamping grounds hereabout. Charles looks well in his new Panama hat, and was kept busy shaking hands with friends during his short stay. Mrs. Konig writes from St. Louis that she has arrived there safely and guesses of Mr. Mrs. Hartin several weeks past departed this week for a tour of the coast previous to returning to their home in Chicago.

Stella Carter, a woman who formerly claimed Anaheim as her residence, is wanted by the authorities of Santa Ana, a warrant for her arrest having been issued on a charge of defrauding a liverman. The proprietor of a stable at Orange swore to the complaint. Some ten days ago Miss Carter hired a horse and buggy at the county-seat and drove to Orange, where she left the rig. She then came to this city on a hired wheel, and later returned to Orange and secured a horse and buggy and drove to Fullerton, where she left them. The property was recovered.

The building will cost upward of $4000 and will be occupied by the Doctor as a residence. His present abode, adjoining the site of the new building, will be occupied as an office. The structure will be a notable addition to the architecture of that part of the city. Since the laying of cement walks on Broadway, that thoroughfare has taken on a much handsomer and cleaner appearance, and the Doctor's new residence will add materially to its appearance. LITTLE BOY'S LEGS CUT OFF A distressing accident happened to three-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. B.F. Hauser, at Talbert, on Saturday afternoon, as a result of which the little fellow lies at the Santa Ana Hospital with both legs cut off. Mr. Hauser was engaged in mowing grain and two of his children came out where he was at work. He sent them home, and supposing they had gone, continued his work. He had not proceeded far when he drove into a heavy patch of grain and mustard, and was horrified to see the knives of his machine catch the youngest of the children who had been hidden by the rank growth. The knives severed both of the child’s legs. Two physicians were summoned from Westminster, and when the unfortunate boy had been made as comfortable as possible, he was brought to the hospital in this city, where he is now battling for his life, with the chances greatly against him. The father is prostrated over the unfortunate accident. The little boy is said to be holding his own in his struggle for life, and hopes are entertained for his recovery. Catholic Mission The Catholic mission, which is being given this week in the church of The Riverside Press of Tuesday evening contains the following account of the accident: "A telegram was received this morning from the Virginia Dale Mining district announcing that E.P. Clauson a well known Riverside carpenter, had met a violent death there while erecting a gallows frame in one of the mines of the district. Details are not obtainable, but it appears that he slipped and fell down the shaft, being killed instantly. Clauson was about 63 years of age, and was a member of the G.A.R. Post, A.O.U.W. lodge, Carpenters' Union, Masons and Calvary Presbyterian church. He leaves a wife, two daughters and a son. He was highly esteemed by all who knew him." PUMPING PLANTS The purpose of establishing a water system in the Buena Park country by putting down a number of wells to be pumped by electric power has been revived. The proposition was considered about three months ago, but fell through because sufficient stock was not subscribed, but now it is given out that outside capitalists from Los Angeles and other cities are willing to take heavy stok in the plant, and also offer to operate it. The proposition is to install a series of electric pumping plants at a number of points between West Anaheim and Buena Park, and the power is to be furnished by the Edison Electric Lighting Company, which will tap its main transmitting wires near this city. Irrigators who have tried it state they can lift water cheaper by electric power than by any other method. Stricken with Lockjaw Pat Hayes, a hobo, aged about 40 years, was brought into town yesterday morning from the semaphore south of town, where he was found by the signal-man lying near the railroad tracks. He was taken to the receiving hospital and Dr. Johnson summoned. The doctor found him to be suffering with symptoms of lockjaw, and administered to his needs. Hayes said he was from Ohio, where he named several relatives occupying responsible stations. Last evening he was in a critical condition, and it was doubtful if he survived the night. A new stairway will replace the old one leading to the upper floor of the two-story building, and other alterations and improvements are in contemplation. Charley Rogers was in town for a brief visit on Monday. He came down from San Francisco to Los Angeles on a business trip, and extended his visit far enough to take in his old stamping grounds hereabout. Charles looks well in his new Panama hat, and was kept busy shaking hands with friends during his short stay. Mrs. Konig writes from St. Louis that she has arrived there safely and that the fair buildings and grounds are beautiful in the extreme. Mr. Konig also writes that he arrived safe and sound several days after his wife, and looks forward with anticipations of great pleasure to his trip to Europe. Mrs. Hutchinson of Orange, mother of Druggist Hutchinson of this city, has purchased a lot on Claudia street from the Metz estate and will in a few days begin the erection of a residence thereon. Mrs. Hutchinson will remove hither from Orange and make this city her permanent home. Mr. and Mrs. Spake and daughter Lona, Mrs. Thiebaud and son Morton, Mrs. Goble and daughter Gladys and Mrs. Sanders, mother of Mrs. Spake, spent an enjoyable two-days' outing at Long Beach during the week, going to the beach on Thursday and returning on Friday. Conductor Chesbro of the local Santa Fe accommodation train has suffered a great bereavement in the death of his wife, who passed away on Tuesday morning of last week. Mr. Chesbro has the condolence of many friends in Orange county in the loss of his helpmeet. W.F. Botsford arrived in town on Saturday morning in his touring automobile, accompanied by his wife and family. He was the guest while here of Vice-president Hartung of the First National bank, of which Mr. Botsford is president. After a short stay he proceeded with his family to Bolsa Chica to spend the day. Mr. Botsford is largely interested in Orange county and this city, and a well-authenticated report is to the effect that he contemplates further purchases here. Catholic Mission The Catholic mission, which is being given this week in the church of that faith in this city, is being largely attended. The missionaries are the Very Rev. Father Nugent, president of the St. Louis Seminary, and Father Moser. The order of exercises begins early in the morning, the first being at 5 o'clock. The second mission mass is at 8 o'clock. In the afternoon the devotion of the stations of the cross, and in the evening at 7:30 the regular mission sermon. The subjects to be treated the remaining evenings of this week will be on Thursday evening, "Vocations in Life;" Friday, "Mary, the Model of the True Christian;" Sunday at the 10 o'clock mass, "The Real Presence." The close of the mission will be at the services on Sunday evening, when the papal benediction will be given. An invitation is extended not only to the members of the church to attend the various services, but also to persons of other creeds. For Catholic preaching is never an attack on other church belights, and many a person has been profited by a clear exposition of the church's teaching; for good will and unity are fostered by knowledge whereas ignorance of one another's position begets intolerance and bigotry. Semi-Weekly Service of the "California Limited" After May 30, 1904, until further notice, this great Santa Fe train will run semi-weekly only, leaving San Francisco, Oakland, San Joaquin valley and Southern California stations on Mondays and Thursdays, and east of and including Needles, on Tuesdays and Fridays. The attention of travelers is called to this change. WHITE WASH SILK WAIST This most popular garment we are showing in a large variety; nothing dantier and cooler for the coming warm weather.
