A feature of the day was a discussion favorable to equal suffrage. The supervisors on Tuesday awarded the three thousand dollar issue of Commonwealth district school bonds to the California National bank of Santa Ana for par and accrued interest. An oil lease from Charles W. Lash to the Standard Oil company was placed on record in the recorder's office. The consideration is $600 and one-eighth of all oil produced. The property leased is forty-five acres in the northwest quarter of section 8, township 3 south, range 10 west. Bob English's threshing outfit passed through town Tuesday afternoon on its way to Chino, where it will have a six weeks season. The outfit camped on the La Habra ranch for the night and proceeded to Chino yesterday by way of Spadra. It has been at work in the southern end of the county for some weeks past. There are five threshing outfits at work on the San Joaquin ranch. An unknown Mexican was killed and another Mexican, Carlos Cila, was injured in the collapse of an old barn at Santa Ana at 2 o'clock Tuesday morning. The abandoned barn had been used by tramps for a long time. The decayed rafters gave way. Cila had his hips crushed. He does not know the name of the dead man, whose skull was broken.

BRIDE AND GROOM RETURN Joseph Helmsen and Wife Back from Honeymoon Trip Joseph Helmsen and bride returned on Monday afternoon from Avalon, where they spent an enjoyable honeymoon trip. They were married at the office of County Clerk Williams at the courthouse at Santa Ana Wednesday last. Justice of the Peace Cox performed the ceremony, which was witnessed by attaches of the clerk's office and members of the board of supervisors, who adjourned to attend the ceremonies. After the nuptial knot had been tied the couple were recipients of congratulations from those assembled, coupled with best wishes for their welfare. Mr. and Mrs. Helmsen boarded an electric car for Los Angeles, where they were guests at a leading hotel. They went to Catalina the next day. On their return they proceeded to the groom's residence on Claudina street, where they will be home to friends after August 15th. CHILD BADLY BURNED The seventeen-months-old twin daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. G. Schloesser was severely burned on Friday morning by falling upon the floor and thrusting her left hand into a pot of boiling mush, which was being prepared upon a small heating stove placed in the bedroom. Mrs. Schloesser was engaged in dressing the little girls, when the first fell as stated. The child immediately withdrew her hand and rubbed it upon her face, which was also badly burned. A physician was immediately called and An unknown Mexican was killed and another Mexican, Carlos Cila, was injured in the collapse of an old barn at Santa Ana at 2 o'clock Tuesday morning. The abandoned barn had been used by tramps for a long time. The decayed rafters gave way. Cilia had his hips crushed. He does not know the name of the dead man, whose skull was broken. The men came looking for work at the sugar factory. The Board of Supervisors has received a communication from Mrs. Hannah Manter of Anaheim asking the board to take action in regard to abating what she considers a nuisance. She states that S. M. Hickey is maintaining a ditch on the county road five feet from her property line, and that water seeping from the ditch keeps the ground adjoining in a soft and boggy condition. The petition states that this ditch is now maintained in violation of a county law. Charley Newcombe of Buena Park is attaining considerable celebrity as a birdman, having constructed an air ship and made three flights with it. Charley promises his friends hereabout that he will pay them a visit shortly in his air craft, and that they might put in time profitably by scanning the skies for his approach. He is assured of a warm welcome, and a number have indicated their confidence in the success of his biplane that they announce themselves in readiness to take a spin through the air with him. Edward Schneider, formerly of this city, now of Los Angeles, and Miss Mary Wisser were married in this city on Monday morning. The couple were taken to Santa Ana in an automobile and a license procured, after which they were married in this city by Rev. Dubble. Only a few relatives and intimate friends were present. After the ceremony the happy couple left for San Diego, amid the congratulations of many friends, for a short honeymoon. Both of the young people are well and favorably known hereabout. Mr. Schneider was formerly a clerk in the Palace Market and is now holding down a good position in Los Angeles. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. Wisser of this city, and is popular among a wide circle of friends, all of whom join in wishing the newly wedded couple a long and happy marriage life.

Mrs. Schloesser was engaged in dressing the little girls, when the first fell as stated. The child immediately withdrew her hand and rubbed it upon her face, which was also badly burned. A physician was immediately called and attended to the sufferings of the little girl. The hand was so badly burned that the finger nails came off. The little sufferer is doing as well as could be expected, and no permanent injury is feared. Mr. Schloesser was away at the time, being employed at apricot drying at his brother-in-law's orchard at Olive. FINISHED ITS WORK Board of Equalization, Turns Assessment Rolls Over to Auditor The county Board of Equalization on Tuesday finished its labors and turned the assessment rolls over to the county auditor, who will get the valuation for road and school districts and for cities and submit the same to the supervisors as a basis on which to figure the rate for special school tax. Auditor Lester will also add up all the rolls and report in detail to the state board of equalization the valuation of the county. The petition of the First National Bank of Santa Ana for an equalization of its assessment was denied, the supervisors standing by the assessment made by County Assessor James Sleeper. Application for reduction in the assessment of the Orange County Savings bank resulted in a reduction of $1495 in the assessed valuation, which amounted to ninety-one cents in taxes.

THE MISSION CONFECTIONERY R. FISCHLE, Proprietor PHONES { Home 1703 { Pacific 233 Anaheim THE WRECKED MAINE Battleship Was Blown Up by Exterior Explosion HAVANA, July 18.—The process of removing the water surrounding the Maine was practically completed this evening and shows strong evidences o an exterior explosion. The water level in the cofferdam has been lowered eighteen feet, leaving the wreck surrounded by islets of mud, small pools and sink holes of green, slimy water. The soundings show nowhere a depth in excess of four feet. The dregs of water remaining can be removed in a few hours, but it is now apparent that the engineers are confronted with an infinitely more serious problem—the removal of the mud in which the remains of the battleship are embedded from a minimum of thirty-seven feet to a depth that can only be conjectured. The wardroom and officers' quarters on the starboard side are filled with mud. Lowering of the waterline two feet below that of previous pumping operations, vastly enlarged the revelations in regard to the shattered hulk. It brought to view the lateral outspreading of the distorted frames and plating, especially in the forward section where the force of the explosion was most completely broken in half, remains in good condition, in which case it is believed little difficulty will be experienced in floating out the after one-third of the ship. ANSWERS LAST ROLL-CALL Aged Veteran Rose to Rank of Second-Lieutenant in Civil War Frederick Hammer, a veteran of the Civil War, died at his home in West Anaheim Sunday evening after a lingering illness due to the infirmities of old age. He was a native of Germany and was in his eighty-seventh year. He was a member of Malvern Hill Post, G.A.R., of Fullerton, under auspices of which organization funeral services were held on Tuesday afternoon from the undertaking rooms of Backs & Terry. He resided here for four years past, and leaves a widow and a grown son. He enlisted in the union army at the outbreak of the civil war and rose to the rank of second-lieutenant of his company. FARMERS INSTITUTES Mr. Neff spent several days in San Diego the first of the week and yesterday went to Whittier, the trips being to make arrangements for coming farmers' institutes to be held as follows: La Mesa August 14, Lakeside Aug minimum of thirty-seven feet to a depth that can only be conjectured. The wardroom and officers' quarters on the starboard side are filled with mud. Lowering of the waterline two feet below that of previous pumping operations, vastly enlarged the revelations in regard to the shattered huk. It brought to view the lateral outspreading of the distorted frames and plating, especially in the forward section where the force of the explosion was greatest. Inspection of the bow as far aft as frame eighteen disclosed that the double bottom is now elevated about forty feet above its normal position, apparently indicating a tremendous exterior explosion. To this view., however, the engineers decline to commit themselves, merely admitting the identification of parts of the bottom of the ship. In the confused mass of wreckage of the bow is a curved piece of steel believed to be what Ensign Powelson identified before the Sampson court of inquiry as part of the flat keel of the Maine. Naval Constructor Ferguson, in charge of the examination, declines to say whether he can fully confirm Ensign Powelson's identification, but says that adjacent plates and beams are unquestionably from the vicinity of the keel. Exploration of the galley today resulted in the discovery of two pots half full of beans and other articles for kitchen use, some of which at first were believed to be human bones. Hope of discovering the remains of many of the crew is diminishing, on account of the unexpected complete demolition of the berth deck. An interesting point which the engineers are now investigating is whether the bulkhead immediately aft of the central superstructure and where it is believed the hull was al- FARMERS INSTITUTES Mr. Neff spent several days in San Diego the first of the week and yesterday went to Whittler, the trips being to make arrangements for coming farmers' institutes to be held as follows: La Mesa August 14, Lakeside August 15, Ramona August 16, Little Landers Colony, San Ysidro, August 17, and Orange August 18 and 19. Institutes will also be held at La Habra and Gardena. The Little Landers colony is a settlement near the Mexican line, where land holdings are limited to one acre per family. THE COMFORTER Anxious Old Maid—I say, my good man, is this boat going up or down? Deckhand—Well, she's a leaky old tub, mum, so I shouldn't wonder if she was going down. But, then, again, her b'llers aint none too good, so she might go up. A DISTINCTION OF TERMS "I understand Uncle Raspberry is having chickens right regular dese days." "Yes. Is he raisin' 'em?" "I dunno whether he's what you'd call raisin' 'em or jes' liftin' 'em." EUROPE'S WAR DEBT In ordinary business affairs great debt, burdensome interest and limited resources mean an inevitable day of disaster. The man who borrowed may pass the affliction on to his heirs, but the time of reckoning must come. Nations differ from individuals only in their ability to bear up too often restated. The plan to have teachers tell such truths in the public schools is a step in the right direction. We of the United States have not reached the plight of the people of Europe, but we are on our way, and the presentation of a few pertinent facts, followed by a little serious thought, should be sufficient to convince any American that we, too, need an international arbitration to save us from ourselves. CHIPS FROM OTHER BLOCK HEADS The fact that money does not make the man seldom worries the man who is trying to make the money. In New York soft drinks are becoming a fad. Imagine, if possible, a great white way made of ice cream sodas. Spring lamb, according to a dispatch from Chicago, "jumped 65 cts. a hundred pounds at the stock yards." Now it is in order for the retail dealer who pays an advance of a trifle over a half cent to reimburse himself by adding 4 cents to the price paid by the consumer and say that the "meat trust" should be prosecuted for extortion. It does not seem difficult to secure indictments under the anti-trust law, but the example that will be really effective is a conviction, at least now and then. M. W. Skinner has secured the agency for the Reo truck for this end of Orange county. The girls Philathea class of the Presbyterian Sunday school held a reception for the incoming members in the Sunday school room Tuesday evening. The room was nicely decorated in green and yellow. Games were played and refreshments of orange-ice and cake were served.
