He goes to Los Angeles this morning, and from thence to San Francisco, where he has been chosen as pastor of the Larkin street church. We had a pleasant call yesterday from Dr. J. G. Bailey, who has located in Santa Ana. The doctor is a Londoner, but for many years has been practicing his profession in Canada. A special car from Los Angeles yesterday brought Governor Stanford, General Colton, J. N. Towne, E. E. Fellows, E. E. Hewett and the state railroad commissioners. They remained in town for a short time only. On Sunday nearly all the conveyances in town were in demand for picnics and other excursions. The many beautiful places of resort in this vicinity and the low prices charged by the liverymen makes riding a popular pastime. An infant child of Mr. J. S. Roberts was nearly choked to death yesterday with candy. Mr. William M. Bailey started his sheep this morning for Arizona. He will be followed by many others as soon as shearing is finished. The sheep shearer is happy now—plenty of work and good pay. When all our flocks are removed to Arizona, the sheep shearer, like the vaquero, will be almost unknown. A surgical operation was performed upon a valuable horse belonging to the Coast Line Stage Company yesterday by Drs. J. Ellis and Bailey. Messrs. A. Rimpau and Bolen returned from their hunt for pasture on Saturday. They will start a portion of their flocks for Arizona as soon as they can be sheared. Mr. R.

She was charged with stealing a pistol. A team belonging to Mr. W. J. Smith, who lives several miles north of town, ran away from the lumber yard near the depot yesterday. They were captured, however, before any serious damage was done. A petition of West Annaheim said it would take including K would consider petition having will be cons Mr. Steward during the inches.

He was passing along Second North street, when he was attacked by some fierce dogs, one of which inflicted the injury. The wife of Sin Si Wan died on Wednesday of dropsy. She was buried yesterday. A project is on foot to build a plank sidewalk on Los Angeles street, from the corner of Center to the Odd Fellows hall. H. Blanken is fitting up the building formerly occupied by P. Pellegrin, and will remove his drug store there in a few days. Don Chico Forster was in town yesterday. He is shipping stock by rail to San Francisco. Strawberries are plentiful in this market and cost only 25 cents per pound. Deputy Assessor Lockhart is engaged in the performance of his duties. On many farms in the vicinity of Anaheim the farmers are irrigating their barley fields. This will insure them a good crop, and a good crop is not to be sneezed at this year. Upton Sinclair, writing from London, says that he is filled with unrest. If he needs excitement he might plan a spring vacation to Nicaragua or China. The women can copy men's clothes and wear their hair cut the masculine wayg, but they're going to be up against it if whiskers ever come back in style. The governor of Oklahoma is said to have a feminine Colonel House, but we doubt whether she can be as silent as the original one. The British may be the brightest diplomats in the world, but they certainly slipped a little when they recognized soviet Russia. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 1902 County Clerk Beckett reports 285 names registered in Anaheim for the municipal election. Many of those already on the register have not re-registered. It is thought the vote at the coming city election will be over 300. The city trustees at their meeting on Tuesday evening received and filed the following certificates of nomination for city offices, to be voted upon at the municipal election, April 14: For city trustee (three to elect)—C. O. Rust, William Berdrow, Louis Fletcher, A. W. Swain, Charles A. Boege. For city clerk—E. B. Merritt. For Treasurer—H. Cahen. For marshal—N. F. Steadman, John Brunworth, H. Kuebler. The names of the respective candidates were ordered placed upon the official ballots. Clerk Merritt produced a copy of same, showing the arrangement of names and officers to be voted for. There were present at the meeting Trustees Helmsen, Fay, Schneider and Weisel. A petition has been quietly circulated in the outlying portions of West Anaheim for some time past asking a partition of the Anaheim school district. The boundaries of the proposed district would take in practically everything west of the city limits, including Katella school, and going down well towards Magnolia. It would cut School Trustee Darling out of this district. The petition has been presented to the Board of Supervisors and will be considered by them at a meeting to be held on April 2nd.

Joe Backs has been home for a week on sick leave from Los Angeles postoffice, where he is employed as substitute clerk.

Joe is "third out" for a place in the railway mail service. Leonard Parker is lying at the point of death at his home, on the east side.
