Speaking the other day of the trials which befall a soldier, he said one of the most peculiar experiences he ever encountered happened this way. He had been on duty one night in the hospital at camp William McKinley, situated nine miles from Manila and returning to the barracks the following morning found himself unable to sleep. He arose, thinking a walk along the coast might tempt Morpheus to bring the desired rest. He sallied forth and at an adjacent wharf saw a river boat about to pull down stream. He boarded the craft and soon found himself many miles away. He discovered to his amazement the boat would not return. He was offered a landing 25 miles down the river but as walking was not good and there were no roads, he declined to go ashore. At this juncture a government boat came along bound for Manila and Howard prevailed upon the skipper to give him passage to that point. He arrived at Manila late in the afternoon, and then hit the high places in the direction of camp William McKinley, nine miles away. He arrived there at 5:50 and as he had to go on duty at 6 in the evening, went on without his supper and without his usual day's repose.

LADIES' BAZAAR A SUCCESS Large Crowds Attend Annual Affair of Buena Park Society (Correspondence of the Gazette) The annual bazaar and supper of the Ladies' Mutual Aid Society was a grand success from a financial standpoint as well as a social junction. Crowds thronged the school building during the afternoon notwithstanding the high wind and threatening weather. Many beautiful, as well as useful articles were disposed of at a handsome profit to the ladies. The booths were very beautifully arranged and reflected much credit on the ladies who had so diligently worked in preparing for this affair. When everything was so beautiful, it is difficult to discriminate; yet articles well worthy of mention were the exquisite Chinese embroideries on the table presided over by Mrs. Carl Ritter, Miss Scott and Mrs. Rose. This work was done in a school for girls in China and brought to this country by a lady who had been a teacher in the school. There were robes, scarfs, center pieces and doilies galore, each one more beautiful than the other. Seldom was seen hereabouts more exquisite work and sold at such low figures. The turkey supper was simply fine and was done ample justice by the throngs in the supper room from 6 to 8:30 P.M. Not being able to dispose of the multitude of lovely articles, and not wishing to carry them over, I. D. Jaynes, the husband of the able president of the society, was induced to act as auctioneer and sell to the highest bidders. Mr. Jaynes displayed great ability in his new vocation and soon had the tables partially cleared of their store of goods. Take it all in all, the bazaar was certainly a success. Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Cady, of Los Angeles, are visiting among their many friends in the Park for a day or so. Alexandria for the winter, are guests of Mrs. George Durgan this week. Emanuel Bustady's windmill was blown down by the high wind on Friday night. The large warehouse at Northam was moved off its foundation and on the railroad track by the same heavy wind. A tramp who was sleeping in the building, survived the shock, and called up the agent to flag the trains and thereby prevent accident. He certainly deserves commendation. The Whist Club has its next meeting with the Clarence Chamberlains in their new home on Olive street in Anaheim. The next Eastern Star dancing party will be held in school hall on the evening of December 20. Eastern Star installation of officers will be held at the next meeting, on December 23. DEATH OF A WAR VETERAN T. B. Baxter Passes Away at His Home on East Broad Street T. B. Baxter died at his residence on East Broad street on Monday evening of last week, after a lingering illness of Bright's disease. Mr. Baxter had been a resident of this section for 21 years, and was held in high esteem by a large number of friends and acquaintances. Funeral services were held on Wednesday afternoon from Backs & Terry's undertaking parlors. Rev. Mr. Bowman, of Los Angeles, conducted the burial services. Deceased was a native of Missouri and was 73 years of age. He leaves a widow, four sons and one daughter to mourn his loss. Mr. Baxter enlisted in the California cavalry at the outbreak of the Civil War. He crossed the country to Yuma and in Arizona participated in a number of skirmishes with Indians. The troop proceeded through Arizona and New Mexico and was later mustered PROPOSED SUBWAY—FULLERTON Citizens of Neighboring City Have in View Ambitious Project The Fullerton Chamber of Commerce will petition the Santa Fe to build a subway under the Santa Fe tracks on Spadra street, which is a part of the main road from Los Angeles to San Diego. The crossing is frequently blocked by trains and the automobile travel is greatly hampered. The matter has been informally presented to Superintendent Wells by W. J. Newell and W. T. Brown, representing the Fullerton chamber. The new time table of the Santa Fe went into effect last week, giving Fullerton another overland limited train direct from Chicago. The morning train from the East that has been arriving in Los Angeles at about 8 o'clock has been coming in by way of Pasadena, but it now runs through Riverside and Fullerton, passing the latter place at 8:10 A.M., daily. Passengers for San Diego and other points south can now transfer from the Chicago train in Fullerton. The tourist limited will now reach Fullerton on its eastbound trip at 9:35 A.M., daily. 30,000 VOICES! And Many Are the Voices of Anaheim People Thirty thousand voices—What a grand chorus! And that's the number of American men and women who are publicly praising Doan's Kidney Pills for relief from backache, kidney and bladder ills. They say it to friends. They tell it in the home papers. Anaheim people are in this chorus. Here's an Anaheim case. Mrs. E. Kraatz, S. Caludina St., Anaheim, Cal., says: "In May 1907, I publicly recommended Doan's Kidney Pills in return for the benefit my son got from them. For years he was troubled by a weak back and other symptoms of Not being able to dispose of the multitude of lovely articles, and not wishing to carry them over, I. D.

Mr. Baxter enlisted in the California cavalry at the outbreak of the Civil War. He crossed the country to Yuma and in Arizona participated in a number of skirmishes with Indians. The troop proceeded through Arizona and New Mexico and was later mustered out in Kansas. Mr. Baxter returned to California in 1891 and has been a resident of Anaheim since that time. Mr. Baxter's three sons, Oliver, Lee and Henry, who had just returned from a term of four years' enlistment in the United States navy, were present at his bedside when he passed away.
