We desire to call attention to the excellent private school taught by Mrs. Limp at her residence. German, muzee and fancy work, as well as the common English branches are taught. Books received from 5 to 14 years of age. Terms, including board and washing, $20 per month. Quite a serious accident and an incident conflagration occurred Sunday night at about half past eleven at the Inferior hall saloon. Peter Richards, who was alone at the time, had mounted a chair for the purpose of turning off the light from the large and beautiful chandelier and had just taken hold of the valves for that purpose when the chandelier gave way and fell from its fastenings, and fell with a crash to the floor, the whole mass immediately igniting and flaming up to the ceiling. Mr. Richards showed one of the covers from the billiard tables and attempted to smother the James, but it caught fire. He took second and succeeded in smothering the Fire. The chandelier, worth $45, was destroyed. The burned billiard room were valued at $15 more and the floor and ceiling were injured to the extent of $15, making a total loss of $155. Besides which Mr. Richards' hand was severely burned. The building and furniture are insured in the People's Insurance company. Drusser's hotel was on Saturday appropriately dedicated to the cause of hospitality by the lessee, Mr. Henry Drusserman. The building was oriented with the national flag and a wreath and music was furnished by Anaheim brass band. An ex-superior supper was provided, of which large company partook and all enclosed a pleasant evening's entertainment. Richard Melrose, city assessor, has returned the assessment roll of county of Anaheim for the year 1871. Informs us that the assessed values stood up to the very creditable total of $147,413. One hundred day afternoon, his first appearance since his recent trouble with his eyes. Miss Edith Fay will entertain her friends Saturday evening of next week with a Hallowe'en party. Velt Bentz has purchased his brother, Ernest's, interest in the City Meat Market and is again at his accustomed place at the popular establishment. Wm. Schwenkert is the proud father of a very fine daughter, born at 11:30 yesterday morning. Herman Dickel, Clarence Groat and L. Goldwater attended Saturday's free-for-all pace at the Los Angeles meeting. J. B. Stone, of Fullerton, has recovered from his recent stroke of apoplexy sufficiently to be able to be about again. Mr. Stone is too good a citizen to be long in bed and we hope he may be spared many years of usefulness and activity. Agent Darling was in attendance at the preliminary examination of the Reyes murder trial in Judge Marquez's court at Yorba last week. He is satisfied that the killing of Chapo Agullar was a premeditated murder and that Reyes will be made to suffer for his act. Miss Lillian Robison entertained a number of her friends at a social hop at the opera house last Friday night. The community was shocked yesterday to learn of the death of Rudolph Laedke, which occurred at 2:30 o'clock at his home on Center street in the 75rd years of his age. The deceased was one of the pioneers of Anaheim. He came here in 1863 and during his long and honorable career had made many life long friends, who will hear of his untimely death with keen regret. The water board met in regular session on Saturday afternoon. Only 3 members—Directors Fay, Benchley and Browning—were present. Secretary Blennnerhassett (who wanted to go to the races) called the roll and announced there was no quorum. A footfall upon the stairway, sounds like Mr. Crowther. It is Mr. Crowther. Later Messrs.

Our thanks are due to the wine growers for their uniform courtesy and kind assistance in gaining the desired information. The number of acres of bearing, wine producing vines we find to be near 700. The quantity of wine made this year we foot up at 350,200 gallons; perhaps some omissions might swell the figures to 350,000. The number of gallons made last year was 611,000 according to figures obtained, perhaps it goes as high as 650,000. The vineyards having been carefully destroyed by grasshopper infestation over half a crop, more than could reasonable have been expected. Dead fled—Jacob Kellu to R. Helmsen, lot in Anaheim, $700.

A telegram was received Tuesday from John Rimpau at Yuma announcing the death of his infant son. The child was one of twins, born some fourteen months ago, the other having died at birth. Joseph Helmsen received a dispatch from Richard Krebs at Santa Anita on Saturday morning conveying the intelligence that Paul Christian Saalwaechter had committed suicide at the ranch on Friday by shooting himself in the head. Later news is to the effect that Saalwaechter had been upbraided by the foreman for permitting the steam in the engine to run higher in the gauge than was necessary. A rumor prevailed about town on Sunday to the effect that Ah Foo was dead. The report must have been unfounded, as Mr. Foo was out at 6 o'clock on Monday morning with his tin tub strapped in front of him for a drum, his harmonica in his mouth and the stars and stripes flying from a mast protruding from his waistband, sorenading the Salvation Army corps. He appeared to be alive then and in no immediate danger of dissolution.

These follow the first ten issued at the beginning of the safety campaign a short time ago by the club. Read these carefully, Mr. Motorist, and see if you are following all of them: 1. On approaching a grade crossing shift into second gear. This will eliminate stalling car on the crossing. 2. When you overtake and pass a car do not cut in again until you are about 50 feet ahead of the car you have passed. 3. Do not pass a vehicle at a highway or street intersection. 4. Carry extra light globes in your tool box, just as you would extra tubes or tools. 5. Put on your skid chains at the first sign of wet weather. 6. In wet weather apply your brake with the clutch still in when you start to stop. 7. Remember that a chain on one wheel only, is worse than none at all. 8. When negotiating a corner or curve, don't jam you throttle on too soon. Bad skids occur in this way. 9. Approach all crossings cautiously, the worst accidents occur at crossings. 10. Do not straddle car tracks when driving on slippery streets. Your wheels are liable to jump. JUST GRASS With the ever increasing demand in California for livestock (cattle, sheep and hogs) there is a greater need for more forage. With the rapidly decreasing range the forage question would seem a serious one. The question is not one of acreage as there is far more acreage lying idle than under cultivation; idle for some reason or other, but not necessarily for lack of animal feed, or other feeds rich in protein, may be easily supplied on most farms, particularly where skim milk or buttermilk is available. The liking of hens for these dairy by-products is a good indication of the need for what they contain. Meat scraps is another excellent protein feed that has become standard in poultry rations. Clover and alfalfa leaves provide a combination of protein feed and green stuff. Often enough of them may government poultry farms the same raions are used summer and winter. Or course, in summer it is unnecessary to feed succulent feed when the birds have range and are able to get plenty of grass, alfalfa, or similar feed. The farmer's flock, however, is an exception to this rule, as in many cases there is enough waste grain, seeds, etc., in summer to supply much of the feed required. TIPPING A MILLIONAIRE How he earned a shilling tip was amusingly told by Sir Thomas Lipton at a concert given by the firm's choral society a few weeks back. "When I was crossing over from America last year," he said, "I was preparing to sit down on a deck chair when a parson came up." "Look here, steward," he said, "I want a deck chair put in that corner spot." "I got a deck chair and placed it there, when he said, 'Here's a bob for you.'" "Being Scotch," concluded Sir Thomas, "I took it."—London Tid-bits. All women do not shoot their husbands and men friends or you wouldn't see so many able-bodied men hanging around the pool-rooms.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN by the undersigned, Executor of the estate of Robert Wilson, deceased, to the creditors of and all persons having claims against the said deceased, to file them with the necessary vouchers within four months after the first publication of this noticee, in the office of the Clerk of the Superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California, or to exhibit such claims, with the JUST GRASS With the ever increasing demand in California for livestock (cattle, sheep and hogs) there is a greater need for more forage. With the rapid decrease range the forage question would seem a serious one. The question is not one of acreage as there is far more acreage lying idle than under cultivation; idle for some reason or other, but not necessarily for lack of grass; there is grass for every condition of soil and climate. If you have damp land there are many good palatable grasses and clovers that will grow on it. If you have alkali plant Mellilotus alba, Rhodes grass, Sudan grass and Australian salt bush (Atriplex semibaccata). If you have rich level farm land with abundance of water for irrigation you need scarcely ask the question, "What shall I plant?" You may plant anything you wish for your stock and expect maximum crops. But it is the dry desert range that needs the attention of scientific investigation and cooperation among the stockmen. We hear the expression of "run down ranges" and of "reseeding the range," etc. The natural range abounds in grama grasses and edible brush, this in spite of the fact that all the herbaceous animals since Noah turned them loose have been destroying the good and leaving only what they did not want and what they could not destroy. Our stockmen have turned their cattle loose on the range until there is nothing left for them to live upon except during the short season following a normal rainfall, and when there is no rainfall there is a famine. The remedy for this is (1) Co-operation among stock men or government control in order that the range may be divided into sections and pastured in alternate years. (2) Systematic reseeding. The native grasses reseed themselves if given a chance. But foreign grasses may be established if the proper method is found. Broadcasting seed has not proven satisfactory. The reason may be found in the statement that "raw land must first be broken in." Therefore, wherever possible there should be devised some method of "beraking in." Another solution may be found in the fact that many seeds grow readily in burnt off lands. Smillo is one of them and a good one for either the dry mountain or lowland range. We would not suggest burning up the desert in order to sow weather. Animal feed, or other feeds rich in protein, may be easily supplied on most farms, particularly where skim milk or buttermilk is available. The liking of hens for these dairy by-products is a good indication of the need for what they contain. Meat scraps is another excellent protein feed that has become standard in poultry rations. Clover and alfalfa leaves provide a combination of protein feed and green stuff. Often enough of them may be swept up from the barn floor where the hay is handled. A good way to prepare them for the flock is to pour boiling water over them, cover the container and let them steam for a time, when they will be ready to feed alone or in a mash. Sprouted oats has become one of the best known providers of succulence in winter. Plans for making sprouters may be obtained from the United States department of agriculture. Man-gels and cabbage, as well as many other vegetables, are appreciated by the hens. In general, winter feeding is much the same as summer feeding.

The Fordson will run your threshing machine—and at the most opportune time for you. It will operate the milking machines, saw your wood, fill your silo, pump the water, and take care of every kind of belt work— And don't forget—it will plow six to eight acres in a ten hour day, handling two plows with ease. Thus the Fordson is the ideal year-round tractor. It will pay for its fall and winter keep in many ways. There's a big story to tell you about the Fordson—and a true one—come in and get the facts. Or, if you prefer, telephone or drop us a card and we will bring them to you.
