Suit Against Newbert District. The filing of a complaint, and the issuance of a writ of review Monday begins what promises to be one of the most notable legal battles this country has ever had. The objects to the formation of the Newbert protection district have brought suit to annul the Newbert district. Superior Judge West issued a writ of review, returnable on October 25, calling upon the Board of Supervisors to bring in a full transcript of the proceedings covering the formation of the district, which district was formed of 17,000 acres of lowlands for the purpose of diking and controlling the Santa Ana river. The plaintiffs in the suit are W. D. Lamb, Casper Berchard, James S. Rice and Silas Wright, who claim to be the executive committee of an organization of property owners, who have title to over half the 17,000 acres. Tbeir attorneys are Hutton & Williams of Los Angeles, B. T. Williams of Ventura, and H. C. Head of Santa Ana. The grounds on which the plaintiffs claim that the proceedings under which the district was formed were void are that the act was not applicable to such a district, and that more than one farming community was concerned, and that the petitions were not signed by a majority of property owners. The court is asked to void the election, in which $185,000 bonds for river control were voted. SIMON MAGUS The Legend From Which Is the Story of Faust Almost every renowned multiquity in the middle ages would be attended by a spiritus and not a few were suspected in direct league with the devilly the oldest legend of Faust legend is a continuous that of Simon Magus, mentioning history of the apostles. According to Justin, he was of Gitton, a village in San Luis Obispo, no doubt, a man of great practical powers. He was the father school of the Gnostics. It is reported of him that he could self invisible, that he co-existed through flames unharmed, pose matter, make gold and demons—in fact, he laid claim these powers, and his name left mouths of the people as a sojourn through many centuries; other miracle working person his place at the popular fire usual accomplishments, great tion, were attributed to the radical influence and the generation to superstitious assumption strengthened on the one handmatic affirmation on the parish church of the existence of Satan, with his numerous and, on the other hand, by ling the magic arts among the sciences, of which astrology chemy occupied no mean pa Robinson Crusoe, Econo der which the district was formed were void are that the act was not applicable to such a district, and that more than one farming community was concerned, and that the petitions were not signed by a majority of property owners. The court is asked to void the election, in which $185,000 bonds for river control were voted. The fight to carry the election a few weeks ago was a bitter one, but those in favor of the river district outvoted the opponents. Work on staking the right of way for the proposed river channel has been nearly completed. The Moon's Phases. The phases of the moon are caused by its relative position to the earth and the sun, so that when it is full moon in one part of the earth it is full moon in all parts of the earth, and so for all its other phases. The moon revolves around the earth once in twenty-seven days, though on account of the earth's revolution around the sun the mean duration of the lunar month—that is, the time from new moon to new moon—is twenty-nine days, twelve hours and forty-four minutes. The "dark of the moon" is that half of the lunar month during which the moon shines least at night. A Cold, Hard Snub. "Excuse me, madam," he said, "but—ah—you remember, in the restaurant after the theater the other night you were kind enough to notice me. I hope I am not mistaken in supposing that your interest was—ah—not altogether"— "Oh, not at all. I remember now. I thought for a moment that you were the coachman my husband discharged a few weeks ago for trying to make love to the cook, and I wondered how you could afford to eat in such an expensive place."—Chicago Record-Herald.

One of the most energetic nest builders is the marsh wren. In fact, he has the habit to such a degree that he cannot stop with one nest, but goes on building four or five in rapid succession. And there is nothing slovenly about his work either. Look among the cattails in the nearest marsh, even within the limits of a great city, and you will find his little woven balls of reed stems, with a tiny round hole in one side. There is a certain method even in his madness, for the nest in which his wife is brooding her seven or eight eggs is less likely to be found when there are so many empty ones around. Then, too, he uses the others as roosting places for himself.—London Opinion. Vinegar. Vinegar is fatal to many kinds of bacteria. We read that during the great plague in London a couple earned fabulous sums in nursing the wealthy and that their own means of defense was swathing the lower part of the face with cloths dipped in strong vinegar. Some one says, "My grandmother used a gargle of salt and pepper with vinegar for all us children, and she didn't have to go to a sanitary club to learn it." True, no doubt, a timely though utterly empirical use of that gargle has saved many lives.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. What Wellington Was Doing When Sir John Steell, the man had the Iron Duke sitting for him, tried to induce him to look at all his efforts were in vain, for Wellington seemed judging face, never to have heard of War Talavera. At last Sir John patience. "As I am going to my statue of your grace," he exclaimed, "can you not tell me what you're doing before, say, the battle of sananca? Were you not galloping the field, cheering on your feeds of valor by words and a 'Bah!'" said the duke in scorn. "If you really want to me as I was on the morning mapca, then do me crawling itch on my stomach with a touch in my hand!" Good Listeners. In conversing with one's friend is so chilling as an apparent attention and sympathy. It be added that nothing is more common to the majority of our cultured people.

From Which Was Born The Story of Faust. Every renowned man of an era in the middle ages was believed endowed by a spiritus familiaris a few were suspected of being a league with the devil. Probably the oldest legend of which the legend is a continuous thread is Simon Magus, mentioned in the apostles. To Justin, he was a native villager, a village in Samaria. He doubted, a man of great intellects. He was the father of the Gnostics. It is also relied upon that he could make him invisible, that he could pass names unharmed, could transfer, make gold and exorcise in fact, he laid claim to all persons, and his name lived in the people as a sort of demi-hugh many centuries until someracle working personality took at the popular fireside. Uncomplishments, great erudition attributed to the supernatural and the general dispossi-superstitious assumption was based on the one hand by dog-formation on the part of the existence of a personal with his numerous household, the other hand, by incorporat- magic arts among the practical of which astrology and al-cupied no mean part. Simon Crusoe, Economist. The average boy spends the days of imaginative youth in the pages of "Robinson Crusoe," like most people of more years, no idea that he is peru-ork of profound philosophy one of the greatest political of the English speaking race. Dogs Poisoned Several valuable dogs were poisoned this week, and hunters are outspoken in denunciation of the fiend. N. B. Tedford resuscitated his hunting dog after he had been poisoned on Monday. He was recently offered $65 for the animal. Mr. Peacock's dog was poisoned on Sunday night, and other dogs have met a similar fate. Said a well-known hunter yesterday: "A man who would poison a dog is more despicable than a man who would attempt the poisoning of a human be-ing. A man may take the necessary means of recovery, but a dumb brute has not this advantage. I know of a case where Daniel Webster defended a man who killed the chap who poisoned his dog. The accused was acquitted. A dog is the most faithful animal a man can have about him, and the fellow who would maliciously poison it ought to be summarily dealt with." If the identity of the poisoner could be learned there would probably be something doing, as hunters are incensed at the malicious practice. Young Men's Meeting A meeting of young men was held on Thursday evening, October 10, at the home of Dr. Johnston to discuss the organization of a literary society in connection with the Y. M. C. A. Much enthusiasm was displayed and the plans for the organization of a society were discussed and decided upon. A committee to draw up a constitution and by-laws for the society was appointed, Prof. Walker. Prof. Waldorf and Dr. Wickett being elected. A program consisting of five-minute papers on five current topics was arranged for the next meeting. Judge Howard has very kindly given the society the use of his office on Los SON CRUSOE, ECONOMIST.

Moore, manager of the Celery Growers' association, on Saturday said that the prospects for the year are brighter than they have been for several years. The crop has matured well. The growth has been healthy and reports from the eastern markets are encouraging. The price set upon the first celery is 20 cents per dozen bunches. This same price was the starter last year and before the season was over the price went to 30 cents. The prospect is that 30 cents will be soon reached this year.
