The advertisement of Mrs. Wallace and sister appears today, the ladies have opened a millinery and dressmaking establishment in Mrs. Metz building, Center street. The Fabbri Opera troupe may visit Anaheim next week. The company embraces the best musical talent on the coast and will undoubtedly receive an ovation should they come.

He has left several packages at this office with instructions to distribute them among such of the farmers as will give the seed a careful trial. There will be a picnic at Santiago canyon on Sunday, May 1st. The Union brass band will play their choice repertoire of new selections, and dancing will be indulged in to an unlimited extent. All are invited to be present and participate in the amusements. Mr. T. P. Hinde is in correspondence with the proprietor of a Swiss-Italian colony and hopes to induce them to settle near Anaheim. To the request for authentic information regarding Anaheim, Mr. Hinde has forwarded him copies of the Gazette, which contain description articles. H. Werder has favored us with a couple of fine looking seedling oranges, each measuring thirteen inches in circumference. These oranges grew on trees raised by Mr. Werder from the seed, an din size, appearance and flavor surpass the average of budded fruit. As a matter of fact connoisseurs in oranges always prefer seedling which they claim have a flavor distinctly their own. The literary committee of the Anaheim Viticultural and Horticultural society have arranged with R. H. Gilman to read a paper on Orange Culture at the meeting of the society on Wednesday evening, May 11th. Mr. Gilman's experience in growing citrus fruits is a guarantee that he will present some new and valuable views, and fruit growers should be present in full force and participate in the discussion which the reading of the paper will doubtless cause. The Los Angeles Presbyterian church convened at Pasadena on Thursday of last week, and continued until Monday. Rev. Dr. Breck of Santa Barbara preached the opening sermon, Rev. J. W. Ellis of Los Angeles was elected Moderator and Rev. S. B. King of Westmister temporary clerk. Rev. Chas. Cook, of Arizona, who is engaged in missionary work among the Indians of that Territory, and who is now engaged in translating the Bible into their language was received as a member. Rev. J. W. Ellis and D. W. McLeod were appointed commissioners to the General Assembly meeting at Buffalo, N. Y., in May. Newport, in the southern part of this county, was selected as the place for the meeting of the Presbytery next year. Many people living along public roads indulge in the pernicious habit of staking their horses or cows near such roads, and so close as to permit the animal staked to cross the road and eat the succulent grass growing on the road side opposite the stake, for no horse or cow ever failed to avail themselves of the privilege of going to the utmost limit of their tether, as they evidently firmly believe that the grass growing there is sweeter than that growing near the stake. Now this practice of staking animals near a public road is a very dangerous one and is unlawful also.' A number of serious accidents have resulted lately.

Now this practice of staking animals near a public road is a very dangerous one and is unlawful also. A number of serious accidents have resulted lately. A few days ago a gentleman driving along the road between this city and Santa Ana, a little after dark, when near the S. P. bridge encountered one of these stretched ropes, which overturned the buggy, threw the gentleman, wife and child out, caused the horses to run away wrecking the buggy and seriously injuring one of the horses. This gentleman has brought a suit for damages against the party who staked the horse so as to obstruct the road. Let this be a warning to all to desist from this obnoxious practice. A convention was held last Saturday evening to nominate candidates for city officers, D. E. Miles, presided. Messrs. B. Dreyfus, F. A. Korn, D. E. Miles, B. F. Seibert and D. W. Fish were nominated for trustees, they receiving the highest number of votes cast. Richard Melrose for clerk, Theodore Rimpau for treasurer, and John P.

A motion to make a nomination for school trustee was objected to and the motion was withdrawn. Another convention was held on Wednesday evening. Mr. Isaac Cohen was elected president and R. J. Northam vice-president. Messrs. B. Dreyfus, F. A. Korn, D. W. Fish, D. W. C. Cowan and H. Werder received the highest number of votes and were declared the nominees of the convention for trustees. Richard Melrose for town clerk and Theodore Rimpau for treasurer were nominated by acclamation. For assessor, Mr. J. P. Zeyn received the highest number of votes. Mr. R. M. Barham was nominated for marshal over his opponent, and Judge Bailey received the nomination for Justice of the Peace, he having received the highest number of votes. Messrs.

Misses Sophie and Marie Rimpau, who are visiting relatives and friends in the City of Mexico, write they are having a fine time and are being shown many interesting sights in the city. Emil Fossek writes his father from Nome that the weather during a recent cold snap fell 60 degrees below zero, and was frequently as low as 30 below. Emil is engaged in a blacksmith shop and earns $4 per day. The newly organized base ball team of this city defeated the Huntington Beach nine at the seaside town on Sunday the score being 4 to 0. Morrison pitched for the Anaheim boys and fanned out 16 men. The boys went down in a tally-ho and were treated royally. Rev. Mitchell finds time in his leisure moments when he is not engaged in expounding the gospel, to devote to tennis, and in company of John Resh is constructing a tennis court adjoining the latter's new building on Center street. These gentlemen will form an association and go in for tennis. Cal Wood came down from Los Angeles on Sunday to shake hands with friends. He is engaged at the San Fernando street depot and states that seventy cars of provisions had passed that station the afternoon before on their way to San Francisco. The relief trains had right of way and all made record time. 'How To Judge House' Title of New Book Uncle Sam Issues Volume to Help Women In Buying Ready-Built Home Washington, D. C.—"The purchase of a house is the most important investment of the average family, but, unfortunately, it is not the construction, and at times not even design and plan, which is given primary consideration by our women." Mrs. John F. Sippel, president of the American Federation of Women's Clubs, declared in commenting on a new book for home buyers just issued by the National Committee on Wood Utilization of the Department of Commerce. How to Judge a House Under the title of "How To Judge A House," the new publication deals with the construction, design, plan, and equipment of the average small house, costing not more than $15,000. It is written as a guide to judge the house already built. Every important feature is treated, and the book sets forth short cuts to economy without sacrificing good construction. Comfort without extravagance is the keynote. "It also is a well known fact that, in most families, it is the woman who makes the final decision in the selection of a home." Mrs. Sippel pointed out, adding that as a result the responsibility of a "good" or "bad" purchase rests with her. For this reason, she said, it behooves the women to become more familiar with the important construction details upon which the lasting design, decorative effects, and equipment depends. Features That are Emphasized In the average house for sale, it was pointed out, emphasis is laid on features which necessarily must appeal to women more than construction.

Mitchell finds time in his leisure moments when he is not engaged in expounding the gospel, to devote to tennis, and in company of John Resh is constructing a tennis court adjoining the latter's new building on Center street. These gentlemen will form an association and go in for tennis. Cal Wood came down from Los Angeles on Sunday to shake hands with friends. He is engaged at the San Fernando street depot and states that seventy cars of provisions had passed that station the afternoon before on their way to San Francisco. The relief trains had right of way and all made record time. C. E. Jones, who in company of Mr. Owen recently purchased the Strodthoff place, has received word from Silverton, Colorado, of the destruction of the Guggenheim mill, which Messrs. Jones and Owen used to operate. The loss is estimated at $500,000 covered by insurance of $250,000. Mr. Jones states that letters recently received from Silverton bring the information that the past winter has been the coldest in 22 years. The town was blocked by snow for a period of five weeks during which time no communication was had with the outside world. In the winter of 1884 people killed their milk cows to obtain food, the town being blockaded for several weeks. T. S. Armstrong is filling a position temporarily at Dickel's, owing to the absence of Frank Tausch, who is absent with Co. E in the north. He reports the bottom fallen out of the poultry market, the Los Angeles restaurants not doing near the business of a fortnight since. The San Francisco quake has caused a hegira of tenderfeet eastward, the hiking having continued since reports of the disaster came in. Poultry is pretty well cleaned up hereabout, and it may be well to give the birds a few weeks rest. When a pair of year old turkeys bring $8.60, as they did a few weeks ago, it seems the market can afford to stand considerable of a slump and not work hardship upon poultry men. Mr. and Mrs. Baker, of Clair, have a report that a young man named A. Baker is among the dead in San Francisco. Their son Arthur G. Baker is in that city studying law, and they greatly fear it may be their son. Mrs. Olga Zeus has had word that her mother and sister who lived on Pine street lost everything but escaped unhurt and are safe in Mill Valley, with Mrs. Zeus' son. Mrs. Wm. Konig has four brothers in San Francisco, but has not been able to hear from any of them. John Hartung has a married sister living with her husband in the city, they are both safe. Wm. Falkenstein heard on Monday from his wife's brother, Dr. Hershkowitz, a prominent physician of the city with offices on Geary street. He lost all. He wrote "I saved only one suit of clothes and my whiskers." Gerald Sandilands has a brother in San Francisco in the creamery business. He has been unable to get word from him. Mr. Backs has relatives in Berkeley who escaped serious losses. Mr. Rogers writes Max Nebelung that the fire drove him from his residence. He went to the Presidio, but when later returned he found his house still standing. The awful calamity befalling San Francisco has been the one topic of discussion in town during the week. First news of the horror came over railroad wires "San Francisco has been wrecked by an earthquake, and is on fire," was the first direful message received early on Wednesday morning. The fire burned for three days and nights, and it was not until Saturday morning that it got under control at Van Ness avenue. It is the greatest makes the final decision in the selection of a home," Mrs. Sippel pointed out, adding that as a result the responsibility of a "good" or "bad" purchase rests with her. For this reason, she said, it behooves the women to become more familiar with the important construction details upon which the lasting design, decorative effects, and equipment depends. Features That are Emphasized In the average house for sale, it was pointed out, emphasis is laid on features which necessarily must appeal to women more than construction. Such details as wall paper, breakfast nooks, pantry shelves and closet space are stressed. At the same time, seemingly lavish expenditures on these parts of the house have been compensated for by skimping the construction. The result has been the refutation of many a young couple's dream of home ownership, excessive repair costs, and eventual foreclosure by financial interests involved." Mrs. Sippel said. "All of this is unnecessary if the prospective home buyer will take the time to study the important factors in construction and design." Written In Non-Technical Style Unlike many other books on home ownership, "How To Judge A House" is written in non-technical style. It is fully illustrated, and gives a clear picture of the design, plan, and construction of a house as well as helpful hints on equipment and mechanical installations. The book may be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., or from the district offices of the Department of Commerce in the principal cities. It sells for 10 cents a single copy. Law Would Curb "Poultry Rustlers" Warring on gangs of poultry thieves whose wholesale depredations are reminiscent of the exploits of early-day cattle ruthers, the Agricultural Legislative committee, representing California cooperatives and commodity farm organizations, has given unanimous endorsement to Assembly bill 902, by Assemblyman Harry Lyons, designed to curb operations of "poultry rustlers." The Lyons bill is drafted to close loop-holes in the present law by making a series of petit thefts, totaling in excess of $200, grand theft. "Under the present law," said Ralph H. Taylor, executive secretary of the Agricultural Legislative committee, "it is necessary to catch the 'poultry rustler' with at least $200 worth of stolen The awful calamity befalling San Francisco has been the one topic of discussion in town during the week. First news of the horror came over railroad wires "San Francisco has been wrecked by an earthquake, and is on fire," was the first direful message received early on Wednesday morning. The fire burned for three days and nights, and it was not until Saturday morning that it was got under control at Van Ness avenue. It is the greatest calamity of modern times. Hundreds dead, 200,000 homeless, and a property loss entailed amounting to the gigantic figure of $400,-000,000. More than twice the loss sustained by the Chicago fire, twice the loss of the Boston and Baltimore fires combined, and apart from these fires more loss than in all the fires combined in the United States since the dawn of independence. When appeals for assistance came all went to work with a will to help. Money was raised by subscription, and a carload of provisions and clothing was forwarded. A mass meeting of citizens was held at the city hall on Tuesday evening to discuss the refuge situation. Mr. Dickel presided. A committee consisting of H. A. Dickel, Joseph Fiscus, P. H. Krick, C. O. Rust appointed at a meeting at the Presbyterian church the previous evening reported progress in the work of securing means for support of the refugees. It was voted to take care of fifty women and children for three months, the cost of which will be approximately $1500. Chas. Federman was appointed treasurer and a finance committee appointed as follows: I. Asher, Rev. Mitchell, A. A. Mills, C. M. Lawrence, H. A. Dickel. On Sunday Father Dubble made an earnest appeal at the morning services in the Catholic church to aid the sufferers which was generously responded to. The Methodist, Presbyterian and other churches raised generous sums and all are doing their share to aid. Many of our citizens have relatives in San Francisco and great anxiety has been felt. On Saturday afternoon Capt. Herman Stern, commanding Company E-Seventh regiment U. G. C., received orders from Col. Finley commanding the regiment to take his company and its equipment aboard the Southern Pacific northbound train passing here twenty-one minutes later—and so the boys were off-in response to their country's call. A. S. Bradford, and Gus Langenberger have arrived from San Francisco. Each gives a thrilling story of harrowing experiences which are printed on another page. President Roosevelt after a conference with Miss Mable Boardman of the American Red Cross issued an appeal to the American people for aid for the people of San Francisco. Subscription lists are being circulated in the city and more than $1000 has been subscribed. When Pain Comes WHAT many people call indigestion very often means excess acid in the stomach. The stomach nerves have been over-stimulated, and food sours. The corrective is an alkali, which neutralizes the acids instantly. And the best alkali known to medical science is Phillips Milk of Magnesia. One spoonful of this harmless, tasteless alkali in water neutralizes instantly many times that much acid, and the symptoms disappear at once. You will never use crude methods when once you learn the efficiency of this. Go get a small bottle to try.

This new bill would make it possible to war effectively on the professional poultry theft." The Lyons measure would also be invoked in the prosecution of persons engaged in wholesale thefts of fruit. In addition to endorsing the Lyons bill, the Agricultural committee urged defeat of a score of measures, including the following: Measure licensing and regulating tree surgeons and arboreiculturists.
