The Anaheim brass band were the recipients last evening of a very pleasant surprise. As they were practicing at their headquarters in the schoolhouse, seven young ladies, dressed in black and with masked faces, intruded upon their privacy and demanded each musician should select one from their number and proceed to Kroeger's hall, where everything had been prepared for a ball to be given in honor of the band. The musicians willingly followed their friends in the dominoes and, upon arriving at the ball, found a large concourse of friends. The good time was kept up until a late hour, and to all concerned the surprise party was a great success.

In a little speech before the Committee of Twenty-one last Saturday, General Howard said that, if we did not get some relief from this railroad oppression we would shortly be like Zaccheus of old:
The good Zaccheus climber a tree,
His Lord and Master for to see.
Los Angeles will have to go and climb a tree.

Saturday was the first anniversary of the establishment of the Bank of Anaheim. The uniform courtesy and careful management of its efficient cashier has won the confidence of the community at large, and we have no doubt that the second year of its instance will be one of increased profit.

The people of Prescott, Arizona, complain that water never was so scarce in Yavapai county as it is at the present time. All over the western part of the county the sign, "No water for horses" is seen on the wells. At John Dickson's, at Scull valley, water is worth five cents a bucketful and is scarce at that.
Certificates were granted by the county board of examiners at the quarterly examination, which closed on Saturday, the eighth instant, as follows: First grade, to Miss Emily Vore, Mr. Newell Mathews; second grade to Miss Eva N.

There was an Indian affray in one of the vineyards yesterday, in which one of the aborigines was badly cut with a knife. Jealousy regarding a damsel of the tribe was said to be the cause.
The marshal gives notice in another column that the town taxes are due. The road and poll tax, amounting to $3, is also due. It should be borne in mind that the road tax ($2) is paid to the town authorities by those living within the town limits, instead of to the county authorities.
Mr. T. A. Darling, railroad agent, has received instructions to sell return tickets to Sacramento during the state fair. Tickets for the round trip cost $32.75, and are good for nine days.

There is a dispatch at the A. & P. telegraph office for Felisita Mendebler.
Six hundred million dollars are annually spent in the United States for drink. How many delinquent newspaper subscriptions does this sum contain? It is heartless to spend in the maddening cup what you owe the printer. He may be thirsty himself.
House-breakers are around. The house of Mrs. Alex Henry was entered on Monday night. Nail down the windows and turn the dog loose.
Quite a crowd were gathered yesterday to witness the raising of the frame for the new windmill in Center street. The huge frame was raised safely to its position in spite of the many prophesies to the contrary.

Radio Dealers Are Planning Preview
Will Be Held at Elks Clubhouse September 21, 22, 23, and 24
With the Orange County Radio Preview, to be held in the ballroom of the Elks Club at Anaheim less than a week away. Orange county radio dealers sponsoring the exhibition will meet tonight at the scene of their exposition to discuss final details in connection with the event to be held the evenings of September 21, 22, 23, and 24.
The attendance of radio dealers from the smaller cities of the county is expected to augment the number of dealers in Santa Ana, Anaheim, Orange and Fullerton, who are the principal participants in the preview.
One of the interesting reports made Tuesday evening was that concerning the "phatom car" which was the sensation of the Los Angeles show. Efforts have been made by the Orange county radio dealers to secure the car for the preview, but whether they will be successful against the efforts of the Ventura county fair will not be known until later. The car is entirely controlled by radio; the controlling apparatus being installed in a car which follows in the rear of the "ghost" automobile.
A report concerning the installation of a short wave transmitting set by Orange county division of the American Radio Relay League will also be made. The exhibit of the league at the Los Angeles show was said by the Orange county men to be one of the most popular spots in the entire radio show. Persons visiting the preview will be given an opportunity to send greetings to friends in the furthermost parts of the world through the co-operation of the globe-circling radio relay organizations. No charge is made for the messages.
Each person sending a message may be asked to mention Orange county so that the greatest amount of publicity will accrue as the result of the efforts of the radio amateurs, a radio enthusiast declared.

Mrs. Gates has left at this office a sample of lemon cling peaches weighing, some of them, 11 ounces.

County Joins War On Puncture Vine
In a fight to eradicate the puncture vine, Orange county has joined with several other southern counties in an effort to restrict shipments of hay and barnyard fertilizers from San Jonquin valley points into this section. It was made known by Horticultural Commissioner A. A. Brock on his return from Sacramento, where he attended a meeting of horticultural commissioners.
Hay and fertilizers are the most common carriers of what is regarded here as a very serious "peat," it is said, and the San Jonquin valley is regarded as a most fruitful source of the puncture vine. The southern counties made a stand at the Sacramento meeting for measure that would tend to curb the evil and prevent its spread into this territory. According to Brock, it is believed that the desired restrictions will be adopted.

Perils of Childhood
"I must be all of twenty years ago that mother first gave me Syrup Pepsin
For those Fevers, Colds and Bowel Troubles of Childhood
