insufficient. The examination of Manuel
Lugo, on the same charge, was not con-
cluded and will be resumed this morn

A serviceable straw hat for children

Los Angeles, which was once the
bloodiest and most lawless place ON the
American continent, has become so tame
that our visit to the police office, at the
mid hour last night, disclosed not sim
gle police incident. What fall is there,
my countrymen.
Our old friend Dusoe returned yester-
day from his visit to his old New Eng
land home. He is glad to get back, and
congratulates himself on finding the
babies all right. Dusoe is, above all
things, family man, though he is,
withal, a most skillful compounder of
drinks.
Monday night Dodson, of the FL Monte
hotel, gave one of those thorough balls
for which he is noted. 1t was largely
attended, and there was "a sound of
revelry by night" which nearly rivaled
the Brussels episode at which the Iron
Duke participated, and which Lord By
ron celebrated. Dodson knows how to
do this sort of thing.
When the Board of Supervisors said
yesterday, in effect, "millions for de-
fence but not cent for tribute to fam
atheism, it scored point which will re-
dound to its honor and popularity. Scat!
That exclamation about emphasizes the
verdict of wine growing county upon
lot of steep and huge nonsense cubic,
so to speak
We received a pleasant call yesterday
from Mr.. Powell, formerly foreman of
the Pittsburgh Post He is accompa-
MED by his wife and has come with the
intention of remaining permanently, pro-
vided he can purchase a suitable home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Powell would be quite an
acquisition to our population and we
hope they may conclude to stay with lis.
Mr.. Bliss, with a public spirit de-
serving of all commendation, called on
the Texas eycursionists yesterday and
invited them to visit his place and see
what genuine, live Los Angeles
orange grove means. Having shown
them his own exquisite place he pro-
poses to take them over to Wolfskill's,
where they will be able to inspect the
largest single orange grove in the world
All linen crash, 20 yards for 81. Peo-
pies store.
DR.. C.. L. Heinzeman has been reap
pointed County Druggist by the Board
OF Supervisors. This is deserved
tribute to an honest but retiring man,
whose only fault is that he has voice
so weak, when engaged in friendly con-
troversy, that almost anybody can over
power him. The Doctor as county
purveyor has never been approached
either in efficiency or integrity.
We always thought that there was {
remarkable degree of vitality about oul
friend Joughin, of the Cienega. This
vague idea is confirmed by the death o.
his brother, recently, at the Isle OF Man,
at the age of l02, These Manx people
are liable to live to almost any age. We
should not be whit surprised if the
Cienega Joughin should reach about
one hundred and fifty years before he
kicks the bucket.
| We had the pleasure of call yester
day from Miss Henrietta Monroe, a lady
who has been remarkably successful il
recitations Astounding in humorous, pa
thetic and tragic features. She ha
gone down to San Diego county, where
she proposes to give readings from {
repertoire of over two hundred pieces
On her return, the probability is tina
our own people will be favored with al
exhibition of her histrionic abilities.
Hon. John P. Irish, of Iowa City
Iowa, who has been spending some tim
in Los Angeles, leaves us to-day. Dur
ing his stay here he made many friends
who regret the briefness of his stay
Yesterday he drove out through the Sal
Gabriel valley and took in Sunny Stop
and the other local "lions." Mr.. Irisl
knew Mr.. L. j. Rose years ago in Iowa
He is emphatic in the expression of TIL
belief that this is Gods country.
The consciousness has been built u
in the minds of our people, till it has al
r tanned the strength and consistency of
/ stone wall, that d. Desmond, Tempt
D Block, opposite the United States HoteI
/ is the "boss" halter of Southern Califol
mia. Both in the price and quality {
his goods he distances all competition
while his winning mercantile ways al
beyond all praise. 1t is a pleasure a
we'll as profit to deal with Desmond.
, We acknowledge the compliment of
y call last night from a number of tn
Texas newspaper excursionists. A fine
manly, handsome lot of fellows they ar
too, by the way. Amongst the humble
were Mr.. VIM. Lott, now the editor an
proprietor of a Texas newspaper, VIII
was formerly connected with the HERAL
