The tract is set to oranges and contains a $10,000 residence erected by Mr. Henry three years ago. The transfer marks the topnotch figure paid for improved orchard land in this section. Mr. Henry gives possession next month. With his good wife he will probably make an extended visit to Bonnie Scotland, whence the young couple set sail half a century ago to seek their fortune in the land beyond the sea. They prospered in their new home, and in the afternoon of their lives—for they are yet young—enjoy the confidence and respect of a host of friends who have known them forty-three years.

The objects of the nia walnut growers' associati discussed and it was agreed With his good wife he will probably make an extended visit to Bonnie Scotland, whence the young couple set sail half a century ago to seek their fortune in the land beyond the sea. They prospered in their new home, and in the afternoon of their lives—for they are yet young—enjoy the confidence and respect of a host of friends who have known them forty-three years. On their return from Scotland they will erect a handsome home in this city. They still retain an interest in their original holdings. Mr. Henry came to this section in 1867. He purchased 160 acres of land between this city and Garden Grove, which he sold the following year, and purchased 320 acres where he has since resided. He paid $10 per acre. He sells at $2500 per acre. He built the first house in the country surrounding Anaheim and sunk the first artesian well, which flowed a fine stream for seven years and still yields an abundance of pure water. He constructed a reservoir from which he irrigated his lands. The ranch was set to oranges, walnuts, vines and other trees. He prospered from the start, giving his undivided attention to the improvement of his place. In 1884 he went to the Arctic ocean, where he engaged for two years in the fur business. His family remained here. On his return he took up the improvement of his extensive holdings, and made his home place one of the best improved tracts in Southern California. Accompanied by his wife and family he came south on the steamer Orizaba, from San Francisco to San Pedro. On the same steamer was John Hanna and family, who purchased land southwest of town, and have since resided in this section. The party was met by Gen. Banning, who drove them in his stagecoach to this city. Gen. Banning was regarded in those days as the best whip in the state, but he lost his way, and the party halted at San Gabriel, only to find themselves many miles out of the way. The General found the right road and the party reached here safely after traveling the better part of its journey. The Anaheim walnut association on Saturday, the 13th, held annual election and elected lowing directors: A. T. Covinsident; S. Hayden, vice president; F. Shanley, Samuel Kraemer Fiscus. The objects of the Anaheim walnut growers' association discussed and it was agreed hands with that association will market the walnuts of allied associations. J. was elected to represent the association on the board of of the California walnut growers association.

P. Caruthers gave a wonderful exhibition of hypnotic power at the opera-house on Friday evening. The professor prefaced his performance by giving a lucid discourse on hypnotism, dispelling the prevalent idea that the magnetic sleep is caused by some unseen power of God or the devil. He emphatically stated that hypnotism is simply the carrying out of suggestions or ideas by two minds working in unison. A person, he said, is possessed of a conscious mind and a sub-conscious mind, and with a hypnotized subject the former is at rest in sleep, while the sub-conscious mind is active and always working in harmony with the mind of the hypnotist. That is simply the gist of the matter. The professor's subject, who had been hypnotized 36 hours previously, lay upon a bed on the stage, having been upon Dunlap again strutte and addressing made a democratic speech dentally paid a tribute And the strange thing is that Dunlap is a soo admitted after leaving tha he had no recollection had said or done while stage, and that he before made a speech.

The sale at the Deutsch tract on it, and producers are urgin their commodities. A HANDLING WORKING IN UNION. A person, he said, is possessed of a conscious mind and a sub-conscious mind, and with a hypnotized subject the former is at rest in sleep, while the sub-conscious mind is active and always working in harmony with the mind of the hypnotist. That is simply the gist of the matter. The professor's subject, who had been hypnotized 36 hours previously, lay upon bed on the stage, having been brought into the hall from an uptown store window, where it had lain in unobstructive view of a curiously-inclined crowd of people the preceding day and a half. The professor had 12 chairs upon the stage which he desired occupied by as many people from the audience prior to awakening the sleeping subject, and incidentally to act as subjects for the edification of the large audience present. People in the hall were timid, and only six young men volunteered to go upon the stage, one of whom was a colored traveling subject who accompanies the professor on his show tours. When all was in readiness Prof. Caruthers by animated gestures of his arms and hands, meanwhile telling the subject that he was being brought to wakefulness again, proceeded to awaken the hypnotized man Gradually the young man was brought out from his prolonged sleep, physically and mentally as well as ever. Upon being asked whether he felt any aches or pains, the subject answered in the negative, and drowsily rubbing his eyes walked off into the wings of the stage. Professor Caruthers then proceeded to hypnotize his local subjects seated upon the stage, and had them going through all kinds of laughable and ludicrous gestures, much to the enjoyment of the audience. At one time he had his subjects riding on a mythically rapid-moving railroad train, and on announcing that a collision had occurred, all fell pell mell over each other and lay upon the floor bemoaning their fate and rubbing their supposedly injured bodies. Again the subjects thought they had been precipitated out of a balloon into the sea, and all living upon score was made by Mrs. scheldt, the prize being a handbag, Mrs. Hartung and tied for the second prize; the cards to decide Mrs. and was presented with a handkerchiefs. Mrs. Sandez consolation prize, a peanut and pepper shakers. Ruf of chicken salad, rolls, cake were served. The oceans entertained next month by scher.

At one time he had his subjects riding on a mythically rapid-moving railroad train, and on announcing that a collision had occurred, all fell pell mell over each other and lay upon the floor bemoaning their fate and rubbing their supposedly injured bodies. Again the subjects thought they had been precipitated out of a balloon into the sea, and all lying upon the floor on their stomachs, went through the motions of swimming to shore. He had the subjects selling their wares in the audience, dancing cake walks upon the stage, skating, and opening their mouths wide and then trying to close them, in vain. Many other ludicrous performances were given, the professor having his subjects entirely controlled in their hypnotic state. Perhaps the most notable experience of the local contingent, was that of Dick Dunlap, who was one of the hypnotic volunteers. After the professor had him under the hypnotic spell, he told him that he (Dunlap) was a great political orator. Dunlap immediately stepped to the footlights and in an extemporaneous manner addressed the audience. He proceeded to uphold the principles of the republican party, using a good flow of language, grammatically correct. He eulogized Theo. Roosevelt and President Taft in a manner that would put some of the political spell-binders to shame. Prof. Caruthers presently halted Dunlap, telling him he was not a republican, but that he was a democrat, where- Dunlap again struck an attiand addressing the audience a democratic speech and incily paid a tribute to Bryan.. The strange thing about it all at Dunlap is a socialist. He ed after leaving the stage that no recollection of what he said or done while upon the stand and that he had never made a speech. The professor concluded his perce by breaking the 300-pound upon the body of the subject added in mid-air. EUCHRE PARTY Falkenstein entertained the euchre club very delightfully saturday afternoon.
