On Monday there was a rumor circulated among the Indians who had come in from Temecula and the various ranches to pick grapes, that one of their number was afflicted with small-pox. The different tribes became excited by the rumor, and on Tuesday morning there was not an Indian left in Anaheim—they had folded their tents, like the Arabs, and as silently stolen away.

Union services were held in the afternoon at the Christian church, where a large course of people gathered to attend the services. The church was draped in the national colors. In front of the pulpit were portraits of Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley, the last named bordered in heavy mourning. The choir sang "Nearer My God to Thee" and other hymns which had been favorites of the slain president. Rev. Pratt offered a short prayer. Mr. Chapman was greatly affected at the shocking tragedy he was called upon to discuss. He spoke feelingly and eloquently and was listened to with rapt attention while he told of the life and achievements of the marryted president who was so greatly loved by the nation which now knows "no North, no South; no East, no West, but one glorious united country."—Quoted from McKinley's oft-repeated statements on his journey to the coast. The London Times publishes a short poem, of which the theme is the coincidence of the funeral of President McKinley and the millenary of King Alfred the Great taking place at the same time. Following is the closing stanza: Up with our hearts and over the sea, Swift he words of friendship sped— Relief Association To Get Assistance Joined by Community Chests of Santa Ana and Tustin An offer to join the Community Chest of Santa Ana and Tustin as a participating agency was accepted by the Crippled Children's Relief Association of Orange County, at its regular board meeting, held Friday afternoon, at the Anaheim Elks' Club. Marshall L. Keeler, a director of the association, was elected to represent the association on the board of directors of the chest organization. In submitting an application for participation in the chest funds, the Crippled Children's Relief Association asked for $2000 from the cities of Santa Ana and Tustin, this sum being one-third of the estimated budget for the coming administration year. This amount has been reduced to half, or $1000, by the chest management, it was disclosed at the meeting. President Harry D. Riley presided over the meeting. Others present were Marshall L. Keeler, vice-president, Santa Ana; Mrs. George S. Briggs, Santa Ana; Mrs. Oscar H. Renner, Anaheim; Mrs. W. T. Wallop, Anaheim; Miss Grace W. Bailey, Anaheim; and Mrs. Fay R. Spangler, Santa Ana, newly elected director of the association. A report submitted by Mrs. Gertrude Crowell, field superintendent, brought out that the association has 35 active cases under active treatment, distributed in different parts of the county. The superintendent made 252 professional visits to patients. Reviewing the activities of the association during the last month, President Riley took occasion to praise the humanitarian and unselfish attitude of Dr. Albert Gallant, Los Angeles specialist, whose services, rendered free to the association, would have run into thousands of dollars if charged for. He also voiced the appreciation of the association for co-operation given by Dr. Harry E. Zalser, superintendent of the county hospital, and Dr. V. G. Presson, county health officer.

He will tender his resignation as cashier of the Fullerton bank, with which institution he has been connected for several years. Mrs. Holcomb will spend some time with her father, J. P. Zeyn, in this city. George McPhee, local editor of the Santa Ana Blade, has earned a niche in the temple of fame by promptly knocking down a man who spoke contemptuously of the assassination of McKinley. He landed with right and left, and the fellow, whose name is Leonard, was felled to the sidewalk. Bystanders interfered, and the man was saved from further punishment. Robert Thiele was in town from San Francisco on Saturday on a short visit to his parents. He has recently returned from a trip through Colorado and the Dakotas. He states the strike in San Francisco is paralyzing business and doing incalculable injury to the city.

The fire department responded promptly and extinguished the flames in short order before much damage had been done. Mrs. Fischer was quite badly burned about the face and other portions of her body. The fire was caused by an explosion of the boiler, and is the third blaze to occur in this structure within two years. A very enjoyable surprise party was tendered Mrs. Koenig on Friday afternoon by a number of her Anaheim and Santa Ana tributed in different parts of the county. The superintendent made 252 professional visits to patients.

Special Efforts to Protect Children Automobile Club Issues Warning to Drivers of Cars School crossings are again a subject that must be considered seriously by all motorists, reminds a warning message broadcast by the public safety department of the Automobile Club of Southern California. Children are once more crossing street intersections in large numbers with the reopening of school this week, and the motorist is required by law to be careful and give all children the right-of-way at school pedestrian crossings, it is pointed out. "Watch for the school signs and crossings," is the advice to motorists that is offered by the automobile club. In many places, it is stated, there are no painted cross-walks where the school boys and girls go across the streets on their way to classes and the only warnings for automobile drivers are the school caution signs. These are always posted a short distance in front of the point where children and pedestrians cross the intersection and are lettered in red. Painted cross-walks are now being designated as pedestrian crossings by markings of orange or red paint across the streets, the autoist is reminded. Special effort has been put forth this summer by the automobile club to give the school children the greatest possible advantage over the motoring public. For their protection many new signs have been erected warning motorists of the schools. Motorists are further advised in the auto club warning that police authorities are now out to obtain strict observance of the law requiring stops when children are on cross-walks. Travel to the national parks of the country this year is expected to far exceed all previous seasonal records, according to preliminary estimates received by the touring bureau of the club. That the parks are becoming more popular each year is evident in the figures, which show that a total of only 356,097 visitors were registered at the close of the 1916 travel year as compared to more than 2,300,000 visitors, which is the estimate for this figure. These figures include visitors to An alarm of fire was rung in at 6:30 o'clock last evening for a blaze in Fischer's distillery, on Lemon street.

A very enjoyable surprise party was tendered Mrs. Koenig on Friday afternoon by a number of her Anaheim and Santa Ana friends. The ladies met at Mrs. Falkensteins and proceeded to her home, where she was taken completely by surprise, but accorded them a hospitable welcome. After some time spent in social converse, several ladies repaired to the dining room, where they spread a bountiful repast, which was heartily enjoyed by all present. After the banquet, Mrs. Koenig rendered a vocal solo, accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Falkenstein. Several social games were enjoyed, and later the guests bade their hostess farewell and returned to their homes, after a most enjoyable afternoon. Among those present were Mrs. Koenig, Mrs. Frank Ey, Mrs. Huff, Mrs. Lutz, Miss Reinhaus, Mrs. Harris, Misses Diers of Santa Ana, Mrs. Falkenstein, Mrs. Heimann, Mrs. Asher, Mrs. A.

These figures include visitors to the national monuments which, like the parks, have been under the administration of the department of the interior for the last 10 years. Relentless warfare against the destructive puncture weed is being pushed to the limit by state and county authorities, according to recent reports. Many organizations and other agencies are assisting in the elimination of this destructive vine in California and, in order to make the extermination swift and sure, all motorists are asked to co-operate in the warfare. Enlisted in this campaign is the automobile club, which has called upon its membership of 122,000 and all other motorists in Southern California to report promptly to the club any locality where the puncture vine is found growing. Notification may be sent either to the headquarters of the club in Los Angeles or to any of the 31 branches in the population centers of the southern part of the state. The authorities believe that if all motorists will interest themselves in this campaign, the puncture weeds can be exterminated promptly, with the resultant saving of tens of thousands of dollars in tires. KEEP BEES BETTER Even if a colony of bees is strong at this time, it cannot be expected to go through the winter well unless it now has a good young queen, so that plenty of young bees will be reared to live through the winter. All old bees which have worked through the summer will soon die. Any colony which does not have at least 30 pounds of honey and Association Assistance Community Chests of Tustin the hive full of young bees when cool weather comes should be united with some other colony of the same kind, or with a stronger one. Most winter loss is caused by poor fall management. FOR SALE—30 acres frostless Vista land, with water; $250 per acre. Part exchange; easy terms. Ocean view. H. R.
