AHLBORN THE MAN Company E seems to have fallen upon evil days. Signs indicate an impending muster-out, which would be a reproach, not only to its members, but to the city as well. One election for captain having resulted in no quorum, another has been called, with admonition from headquarters that if no commanding officer be chosen, the company will be dismissed from the service. The company has a notable military record. Its members sprang to arms at the call for troops in the Spanish war. Twice has it done duty in San Francisco. For two years it has stood second among all the companies in the state in efficiency in tactics, military department attendance at drills, and equipment. No one seems disposed to accept the honorable position of commanding officer of this notable military organization. Its membership is the very best but no one wants to be captain. TWO YEARS IN PRISON Mexican Shop-lifters Sentenced by Quentin by Judge Densmore Tomas C. Talcido and Antonio mirz, two of the three Mexicans stole a quantity of clothing at & Raymond's store, were sentenced two years in San Quentin prison. Judge Densmore of Riverside last week. The Mexicans all clothed from an Orange stock well as at Corona. The third arrest. The men were placed arrest at Corona two weeks after the night. While Mr. Peeped in the grocery to file a which was received after the tered, they took the cloth placed it under their overcoat they carried upon their arms. Noticing the disarranged and being suspicious of their though not certain they had anything, he looked for and but being unable to see one, were permitted to depart. They are said to have made ber of small purchases in stores in town, with a view to sizing up the places for thefts. They were arrested at where a quantity of the stole were recovered. Congressman Needham ofonia has taken up the matter protection of the citron industry ifornia. At present the import evading duty. The presen protects citron in candles. The importers evade this For two years it has stood second among all the companies in the state in efficiency in tactics, military department attendance at drills and equipment. No one seems disposed to accept the honorable position of commanding officer of this notable military organization. Its membership is the very best but no one wants to be captain. There is one man, a former captain of the company, who can save the company to this city. He was one of the best captains the company ever had. His accounts were straight and while he had backbiters he fulfilled his duty as a soldier, with fidelity and honor to the trust imposed on him. But he refuses to accept, feeling that he cannot, in justice to his own business interests, assume the responsibility of the position he once so capably filled. That man is Capt. J. Frederick Ahlborn, and The Gazette takes the liberty of proposing his name for the honor. Congress is deeply offended that the President ever thought it necessary to use the Secret Service for the purpose of investigating Congressmen. Is this righteous indignation or plain fright? NUPTIAL PLANS AWRY Something went awry in the nuptial plans of Samuel A. Oliver of Los Angeles. Last Wednesday Oliver secured a license at the office of County Clerk Williams to wed Arta M. Atkinson, aged 33, of Los Angeles, Oliver's age being 39. Two days later a lady walked into the County Clerk's office. She handed a roll wrapped in a newspaper across the counter. "We are not going to use that," she said. "We are going back home to be married." Before County Clerk Williams had the roll unwrapped, the lady was gone. The roll proved to be the marriage license, still unused, given Oliver on Wednesday. Miss Atkinson said afterward that she had decided to be married in Ohio among her people, that inasmuch as the license was not to be used here she thought it her duty "We are not going to use that, she said. "We are going back home to be married." Before County Clerk Williams had the roll unwrapped, the lady was gone. The roll proved to be the marriage license, still unused, given Oliver on Wednesday. Miss Atkinson said afterward that she had decided to be married in Ohio among her people, that inasmuch as the license was not to be used here she thought it her duty to return it to the clerk.

Attired in gorgeous raiment of red, trimmed with fur, and wearing a flow ing white beard, his kindly smile attracted the children about him in throngs the entire afternoon. He had candy for all and bestowed his favors upon young and old alike, for occasionally in the crowds which surged about him one could espy those who were no longer kids. The fact that Santa's identity was early discovered, and that Grandpa Field was recognized despite his disguises, interfered in no particle with the cordiality of his welcome, nor the joyousness of the occasion. The kids pronounced Santa Claus allright. CHRISTMAS DISPLAY OF MEATS F. W. Fleischmann has at the City Market the handsomest display of Christmas meats ever seen here. The market is embowered in evergreens, dipped in lime to represent snow, indicative of the Christmas season. A line of fancy hams bear emblems made of white leaves of various secret orders, among them the Masons, Odd Fellows, Woodmen, Eagles and others. Decorated suckling pigs, bearing Merry Christmas greetings, bacon and sausages make a tempting display, and the exhibit of beef mutton and pork is superb throughout. Today is Mr. Fleischmann's formal opening day at this popular market, and he has excelled himself in preparing a very handsome market display.
