CITY AND COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
WEDNESDAY,..........F FEB. II, 1915.
Cheap Telegraphy.

Competition is the life of business,
and where that business is conducted
by people of experience and ability,
the great public is benefited. The
Scientific american author
ity = says the Atlantic and Pacific
Telegraph Company now loom up as
competitors with the Western Union
Telegraph Company. General Eek
ERT, an experienced telegrapher and
manager, long connected with the
Western Union, has taken the Presi-
dency of the Atlantic and Pacific. A
lively competition is expected, and
telegraphing, in some directions, at
least, is likely to be done at reduced
rates. As the wires of the Atlantic
and Pacific Company, soon to reach
this city, are part of the company's
combination, we may expect soon to
be relieved of the extravagant tariff
which, through its monopoly of the
business, the Western Union has so
long imposed on the people of South
ern California.

THE CENTlNELA LAND SALE.
Second Day : The Enthusiasm Una-
bated.

The day was fine, and notwithstand-
ing the usual unavoidable delays, a
goodly number were in attendance at
II o'clock yesterday, ready for busi-
ness and eager to obtain some of the
magnificent lands which are offered at
unprecedentedly low figures and on
terms SO easy as to induce every one
to become purchaser. The meeting
was graced by the presence of many
fair ladies whose wit and good-humor
aided much to enliven the day. 1t was
a pleasant and somewhat novel sight
to see carriages of all kinds, from the
gay barouche and four in hand to the
common blackboard moving hurriedly
over the grounds from tract to tract as
the auctioneer proceeded with the sale;
but this is the only true way to sell the
lands of large rancho. The purchaser
has thus an opportunity of seeing first
what he is buying and can fix lis price
accordingly. The sale commenced
with the five acre lots and the first bid
was by lady:
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-02-17

The young lady who came so near
terminating her existence by dose
of laudanum while coming down on
the Mohongo is said to have been in
a fair way for recovery when the Los
Angeles passengers left the steamer.
The first report that she had taken q
relapse was incorrect. Rumor has it
that there is question whether the
drug was taken by mistake or not, and
that one of the officers of the steamer
has something to answer for in the
nefarious part which he played in the
affair.
The address of Judge Thompson on
Taxation" before the District Coun-
Gil Patrons of Husbandry, which we
print this morning, is an able produc-
ton, and worthy the perusal of every
thinking, progressive man in the
county.

Name of Purchaser

Altogether l., 1856 acres were sold, ag-
gregating total of $43, 100, at an
average price of $3S per acre. Then a
few town lots were offered, which
brought prices ranging from $40 to
5000 per lot. Sixty-seven lots in all
were sold, amounting to $3,023, at an
average price of SIS per lot.
Everybody who had the good fortune
to be present, enjoyed a pleasant day
and went home satisfied. The sale was
fairly conducted, no advantage being
taken of any one, stockholders and
purchasers having an equal chance.
The sale will be continued at II
o'clock this morning, and all who
intend to be present are requested to
be punctual at o'clock in front of the
office of the company, where free car
riages will be in waiting.

Records of the Rebellion.

Gen. II. V. Boynton writes to the Gin
cnnati Gazette an interesting letter about
the records of the Rebellion. He says,
"Few had any idea of the enormous bulk
of the material which makes up the records
of the late war. 1t is stored in more than
dozen buildings, and a number of these
contain little else. One of these is de-
voted to what are termed the records of
discontinued commands, and, as this title
indicates, they constitute q great portion
of the field records of the war. This
building Is forty feet by eighty, and is four
stories high. Eight ranges of wide shelves
run lengthwise through each story from
floor to ceiling, and two-thirds of these are
packed as closely as any bookkeeper's
shelves with immense edgers, which are
the books of letters received and sent, the
telegraph books, battle-report books, order
books, and all the great variety of records
which were Kept at each headquarters, and
regularly copied into these volumes. The
rest of the shelves are packed closely with
unentered papers of endless kinds but each
containing some scrap Of war history.
There are $50 cords of records in this one
building. The huge volumes, which look
down from the long lines of shelves on
either side of the narrow aisles are the
books and papers of the discontinued firm
of Government and Army. These are
small portion of the accounts between its
members and with treason"

John Thomas isn't good citizen, there
aren't any"
''Bow about that poor beef and bad butt
ter that he sent to the poor house last
spring 2" asked the COW dealer.
81 have no doubt that Thomas Is honest
enough, said Peter Isley. Gle has a stiff
way about him that don't like, and then
he has madelthe,minister and squire Wright,
and DIR. Parker and the schoolmaster all
believe in him, and that's enough But
think it would be pretty good plan to in
quire into the doings of the selectmen for
the last few years. l know when | was
on the board, five years ago, we were full
easy enough about the poor house bills.
Nobody ever asked where the provisions
came from, or who supplied the lumber, or
how much the labor bills were. Bill
Stevens the keeper said it was all right,
and Thomas said Stevens was right, and
the rest of us had nothing to say about 1t.
| never exactly dared to say that Thomas
and Stevens divided, but ! never could
swear that they didn't. At the same time,
| suppose | might have found out when
was on the board. But then, | thought If
Thomas wanted TO get into scrape, 1t is
none of my business. We didn't any of
us attend to our duty over and above WELL
"Look here, Peter" said the grocer, 81
think you have gone about far enough on
that line. John Thomas always said you
were first rate officer, and looked out
sharp for the town expenses, and saw that
all the vouchers were properly examined
and filed. Now, if you are going to black
yourself for the sake of backing him, it
seems to me that you'll come out at the
little end of the horn"
"Well, don't know but | shall" said
Peter, but how many days work of his
cattle on the road did Thomas charge for
last summer? For one, | think these things
had better be overhaule1, let the blow fall
where it may"
The loungers around the ''store" now be-
gan to gather themselves up to depart.
They felt little ashamed of the turn their
talk had taken, and they felt annoyed at
Peter Ilsey, and little disguised with the
spirit he had manifested. They were glad
that it was not daylight when they went
forth and they rejoiced that under the
cover of darkness they could reach their
homes without meeting John Thomas. or
Mr. Howe, or Mr. Hopkins, or their wives
and daughters. They wondered how far
this thing was going-and they fastened
home to bed.

having experience in the matter. Being
slightly skeptical as to the results promised,
we purchased u bottle OF the cure for q friend
ers and hand. Hardly three months have
lapsed, after using a single bottle, and she
has not had recurrence OF rheumatic attack,

We scarcely could hope her to be cured from
using only one bottle, but it has convinced us
that 1t is a sovereign remedy. We believe
couple OF bottles more will effect permanent
cure, and would urge our readers TO give It
