Santa Monica items.
lFaom the Outlook Of the eel

Quite number of strangers have
been in town during the past week.
The Santa Monica Hotel has been
pretty well filled all the time.
The exports at this point during the
past Week were spuds, wool, wine, Or
anges. honey, tallow, corn and gener-
al merchandise.
The weather has been exceedingly
pleasant during greater portion of
las. week. No hard winds, no fogs, a
little rain, and a great deal of SUM-
shine-with the thermometer ranging
from Sc TO "A degrees.
Professor Linton, of Los Angeles
has organized singing class, at the
Presbyterian church in this place.
The class will meet next Monday eve-
ming, when arrangements will be
made for the future.
Work on the new addition of the
Santa Monica Hotel is being pushed
ahead with all dispatch. The painters
have commenced Oh the outside, and
the plasterers are ready to begin on
the inside.
An excellent well has recently been
bored in South Santa Monica. 1t is
sixty-five feet deep and has seventeen
feet of water in the pipe. We are
told that force pump, run by a wind
mill cannot exhaust it. The water is
good.
There will be meeting of the Ma
sonic frat ternity next SATURDAY. even
ing, the 29th. at Odd Fellows Hall,
over w. Z. Bassett & Co.'s store, for
the purpose of organizing a lodge TAT
Santa Monica. All Masons are re-
quested to be present.
We rode over last Sunday and took
a look at the large barley field of Mr..
K. Lucas, situated a short distance
North of South Santa Monica. 1t
stands thick upon the ground, and, as
far as We can judge, gives promise Of
an immense yield.
e The Senator, OH her arrival Satur-
day, discharged 1873 tons of freight at
Santa Monica wharf. On her first
trip she brought ten tons, and has
continued to steadily increase her
freights until she has reached the
above figures. There has been a sim
liar increase in the carriage of other
vessels. The people are beginning to
appreciate the competing advantages
of this as shipping point, and we
think they are generally disposed to
extend to it liberal patronage.
Col. ]. U. Crawford, Superintendent
of the l.. A. d. j. r. r., with charac-

Republican State Convention.

The Republican State Convention
which met at Sacramento on the Goth
inst, made up platform which avows
undiminished faith in the integrity of
the Republican party; approves the
action of those prosecuting and pun
ishing official dishonesty; believes in
an economical administration of the
government; deprecates the presence
of the Chinese, and favors such meas
ures as will prevent their coming here;
favors return to metallic money, and
wants to pay the national debt in gold
coin. 1t asserts that the Democracy of
this State is not to be trusted, and
charges that the Democratic party
commenced the rebellion which can
only be kept from breaking out again
by retaining the Republican party in
power. A resolution condemning the
third term proposition was withdrawn.
The following delegates to the Nation
al Convention were elected:
First Congressional District-John
Martin and S. Heich, both Blaine
men.
Second-L. H. Foote, of Sacramento,
and r. ii. Dyer, of Alameda. Foote
is a Bristow man, and Dyer is for

May hail with Joy theadvent in their midst
of these wonderful medicines, which the DC.
tor has lahoIed for years to perfect, as spe-
cific for the above diseases.
You that are suffering at once cast aside
your prejudice, derived, and justly, from re-
peated failures. We ask that your hopes may
revive, at least sufficiently to give this medi-
cine one fair trial. We feel bound 10 do our
duty, and in Justice to Dr. Clark and The suf-
f-ring thousands who may read this card we,
the undersigned residents of this county and
vicinity, MOST FORTUNATELY speak from eX-
perience, and we assert most emphatically
the efficacy of the above medicines Is irrefu
table. Our friends, and even strangers, may
ponder over these remarks. but If the candid
truth from our lips robs them of their incre-
dulIty sufficiently to place themselves, with
kindling hope, under the treatment Of DR..
Clark, with his celebrated Family Medicines,
we we'll know that some gond will accrue from
our efforts, and most heartily say
