JOHN HARTUNG, V. P.-Cashier Frank Shanley, 2d V.P. O. Zeus, Asst.Cashier. O. Storm, Asst. Cashier THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK ANAHEIM, CALIF. FAITHFUL STEWARDSHIP Joseph Helmsen attended a session of the superior court on Friday in his capacity as administrator of the Bitttner estate. Seven years ago, when appointed to the trust, a sum of $2000 was bequeathed to two grandchildren of Mrs. A. Bitttner. THE DEVIL The performance of The Devil drew a fair-sized audience to the opera house on Sunday evening. The play is a cleverly written comedy drama and was well portrayed by the company. Henry Leighton, as Dr. Nicholas (the Devil) is probably the best FAITHFUL STEWARDSHIP Joseph Helmsen attended a session of the superior court on Friday in his capacity as administrator of the Bittner estate. Seven years ago, when appointed to the trust, a sum of $2000 was bequeathed to two grandchildren of Mrs. A. Bittner. An estate valued at $20,000 was divided between the two sons of deceased. The two grandsons are now 18 years of age and the sum left them has grown from $2000 to $3000. By the time distribution is made three years hence, probably another thousand will be added. Judge West did not seem to be surprised at Mr. Helmsen's stewardship, but took occasion to compliment him upon his administration of the estate. EBELL ELECTS OFFICERS The Ebell society on Saturday afternoon elected the following officers: Mrs. Grim president, Mrs. Storm first vice president, Mrs. Shank second vice president, Mrs. McLauchlin treasurer, Mrs. Angell secretary, Mrs. Spencer corresponding secretary, Mrs. H. A. Johnston general curator, Miss Kate Rea librarian, Mrs. Dyer, Mrs. Sumner directors three years. The next meeting will be held at Masonic hall on January 2d at 2:30. Members will respond to roll call with quotations about the New Year. COMPANY ELECTION Company E, Seventh regiment, N.G.C., will at the armory this evening elect a captain to succeed Herman Stern, resigned. First Lieutenant Kellenberger and Second Lieutenant Selinger have supporters for the position, and each is qualified to fill its duties. The selection of either one of these officers will leave a vacancy in the lieutenancies, and to fill these the names of Sergeants Spielman and Tausch are mentioned. If Kellenberger should be elected commanding officer Selinger will have THE DEVIL The performance of The Devil drew a fair-sized audience to the opera house on Sunday evening. The play is a cleverly written comedy drama and was well portrayed by the company. Henry Leighton, as Dr. Nicholas (the Devil) is probably the best artist seen here since Frederick Warde, and his support was excellent. Miss Laura Hudson proved herself to be a finished artiste, and added greatly to the successful rendition of the play. As a whole the company was the best which has recently appeared here, and the play was enjoyed throughout each one of the three acts. The opera-house management owes it to its patrons, if not to itself, to cut out the boisterous noises, whistling and other forms of devilment, which marred the evening, and interfered with parts of the performance. The spectacle of a drunken Mexican exciting to loud laughter a crowd of young men by his antics, supplementing them by throwing showers of coarse gravel upon different parts of the audience, is not calculated to popularize this place of amusement. Either an officer should be on hand to preserve order, or boisterous citizens impartially excluded. WALNUT OUTLOOK A leading walnut-grower said on Monday that there were in Southern California 150 carloads of this year's association's crop which, owing to unfavorable market conditions, are not moving as rapidly as is desirable. Outside growers have cut under the association price a cent and a half, and foreign importations are arriving. The market for California walnuts is at its best at Thanksgiving and Christmas time, and if the crop is not disposed of at these times, much of it must be held over until March. Quality of this year's crop is the best in years, and this, it is thought, will operate advantageously in making man Stern, resigned. First Lieutenant Kellenberger and Second Lieutenant Selinger have supporters for the position, and each is qualified to fill its duties. The selection of either one of these officers will leave a vacancy in the lieutenancies, and to fill these the names of Sergeants Spielman and Tausch are mentioned. If Kellenberger should be elected commanding officer, Selinger will have no opposition for first lieutenant. Major Vestal will be here from Santa Ana to conduct the election. Company E was never in better condition than at the present time. The muster roll contains the names of 58 good men and true ready to respond to their country's call at any time. The company has a past record of which it should be proud, and its future was never brighter than at present. NEW WATER COMPANY Articles of incorporation of the Equitable water company were filed with the county clerk on Monday. The stock is capitalized for ten thousand dollars, of which sum four hundred and eighty dollars is actually subscribed. The principal place of business will be in Santa Ana and there are five directors as follows: John F. Walton, Anaheim; Q. T. Walton, Orange; W. A. Venn, S. D. Laird, C. S. Catlin, Santa Ana. For Sale—A good, well improved 10-acre ranch with 20 shares of water; an income of $2300. W.N.

Anaheim takes the negative side, and will be represented by Raymond Nebelung and Robert McAuley. The judges are L. A. West of Santa Ana; T. C. Knowlton, U. S. C.; Warren C.

The purpose is not to turn the day into one of profit for home merchant. The underlying motive is simply to bringing together of producer and consumer. The town will probably have more people within its border on Saturday than on any former casion, and purchasers will be attracted here from far and wide.

He will preside at the dedication of the new Masonic temple in that city in the evening. The library will be formally dedicated about the first of the year and turned over by the library trustees to the city. It is rapidly approaching completion, and will be ready for occupancy the latter part of next month. It has been erected at a net cost of $10,000, and not a dollar has been wasted. It stands upon a spacious lot, which cost $4000, and will be surrounded by lawns. The furniture will cost $2500. The total cost will thus be $16,500. It forms a notable addition to the architecture of the city, and is a living testimonial to the generosity of the philanthropist whose donation made it possible. Request is made of persons having German books to donate the public library, that they leave the same with C. Amberg, who, as president of the newly organized German-American society, is taking an interest in supplying the library with the best German literature. A number of volumes have already been received and many others are promised. All contributions will be thankfully received and turned over with the donation to the library trustees. Visitors will be made welcome, and their needs will be attended to by the usual hospitable fashion which characterizes the people of this city. The day has been well advertised throughout the county, and an early effort is making to see that no one goes home unsatisfied. Special sales will be on at the stores, but as previously stated, the day is not so much to bring additional business to home merchants, as to acquaint producers with the fact that Anaheim is their best market place in Orange county. There will be money here on Saturday, and many anxious to invest in Let farmers bring in their best offerings, and without doubt they will find, right here at home, the best market place in Southern California. The committee of the Merchant and Manufacturers' Association, consisting of Herman Stern, W. P. Quarantaon and F. A. Yungbluth, on Tuesday evening selected the Deutsch tract on Lemon street as the site where products may be assembled and where producer and consumer may be brought together. For sale by Rev.

At present a duty of 25 cents per bushel is charged, while the freight rates from California to the middle states points is 75 cents per 100 lbs. There is a district about thirty miles south of the boundary line in Mexico, known as Fronteras, and it is producing large quantities of potatoes, which are shipped into the United States. The cost of growing the potatoes there is far less than in this state. SEVEN STRAIGHT Bowman Merritt lost six bits on the varsity football game.

Bowman stood a quarter for a telephone message to Los Angeles to SEVEN STRAIGHT Bowman Merritt lost six bits on the varsity football game. He wagered Georgie Horwitz a half that U.C. would win, and it lost out, 12 to 3. Bowman stood a quarter for a telephone message to Los Angeles to ascertain the result. Georgie was a hot Stanford enthusiast and took the money. Clarence Wilson, who attended the game and rooted for the Cardinal, was interviewed at his home here after last year's game. "You made it six straight against U.C.?" "Yes;" he said, "and next year it will be seven straight."
