TIE TROUBLED SIXTH.

| The multiplicity of candidates for Con-
gress i'll the Sixth District has given rise
to much internal trouble in thu ranks of
the Democratic party there. The no,ni-
hating convention assembled at Batol,
| Rouge Oh Thursday, and contesting del
| egations appeared from three parishes
East Baton Rouge, Livingston and
Pointe Conp6e. Ono faction of tho East
Baton Rouge represent tutives was accred-
tied by Parish convention composed of
the friends and supporters of Gen. Leon
JastreInski, aud tho other from Il rival
| convention whose members favored the
nomination of Con. Allen Thomas. The
warm and they seemed to be quite even
ly divided. Gen. JstIenisk has an
nounced his withdrawal fro.n the field,
in order to leave his friends untranl-
meled-as they were instructed to advo-
cato his lon,ination-anl to remove any
pretext which his candidacy might give
for division and dissension in his party.
The Pointe Coupee trouble soen,s to
have arisen from the rival claims of
Messrs. Robert Semple and L. q. Cla-
borne, Congressional aspirsnts, while
that of Livingston was apparently due
to local causes not connected with the
choice of candidates.
Hon. VIM. Duncan of Tangipahoa WAS
unanimously chosen temporary chairman
of the convention and Mr.. C. C. Duson
of st. Landry temporary secretary. A
committee on credentials WAS appointed,
and proceeded ut once to u consideration
of the contested cases. Not until 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon did this COM
mittee reach the conclusion of its tedi-
GUS labors. Its report recommended the
seating of the East Baton Rouge delega-
tions on half votes each, the admission.
Of the Livingston delegation headed by
Hon. Low Spiller and the exclusion of
boil, delegations from Pointe Coupee.
After an animated discussion, the report
was adopted, excepting with relation to
Pointe Coupoo, the Selnple delegation
from that parish being accorded seats.

An Iowa Scandal.

An information was filed in Justice
Morgans Court, yesterday, charging
Fannie Nj. Phillips and H. H. Peck
with adultery. the complainant being the
husband of Mrs. Phillips. Thedefendants
came here from Iowa on the same train
last winter. the woman to visit her
mother, who lives at San Francisco. and
the man for the benefit of his health.
Peck was arraigned before Judge Nor
gan yesterday and deposited $500 cash
as bail for his appearance when called
upon for examination. Mrs. Phillips,
who is accompanied by her son, after re-
naming here some time, went up to San
Francisco, whence she will be brought
back by Deputy Sheriff Huber. The
parties are all we'll advanced in years.
Mr.. Peck, in addition, is quite an inva-
lid. He has purchased property in the
Morris Vineyard tract, upon which he
is now building house, with the in.
tention of sending for his family and
making his future home in Los Angeles
The result of the examination will be
looked for with interest. District At.
torney White appears for the complain
ant and Messrs. Kingsbury & Denis for
the defendants.

Signor Tamburini.

The entertainment given by Signor
Tamburini. last night, at Turnverein
Hall, was most admirably conducted by

necromancer Of great ability, and per.
forms most marvellous feats in neat and
felicitous manner. His performance Of
Second Sight and spiritism is unex-
celled by any of the great magicians
that have appeared within generation.
In his matchless displays and illusions
he is ably supported by the LeClerc
Brothers, the distinguished aerobats,
who are unexoelled in their difficult and
remarkable feats. All who want to see
genuine magic enacted before their eyes,
will go to Turnverein Hall tonight and
witness the performance of Signor Tam,

We learn that Mr.. Z. A. Weed, who
started the Ontario Fruit Grower, has
been to Pasadena to consult in regard
to starting paper in that settlement.
1t seemed easy enough to start the paper
but tough job TO get a name. The
titles "Boanerges,' "Hesperides," asa.
bina-Ja ne Matilda" Golden Glory"
"Bombastes, Pasadena Bonita" were
all suggested and ruled out. Finally
one of the solid men suggested that the
name be called the Pasadena Weed, and
it was adopted and the discoverer pre-.
scented with chrome. To be sure all the
former papers started by this publisher
have been little too previous, but the
weakness lay in not having good and
significant name. This deficiency is
made mp by the Pasadena Weed. With
that name success is assured, banners Of
victory will supplant weeds of woe, and
Wen all be happy yet.

Quicker Travel.

1t is stated on reliable authority that,
upon the adoption of the summer time
schedule, the Union Pacific Railway
will shorten the time between Omaha
and Ogden nine hours, arriving at the
latter place at nine o'clock in the morn.
ing instead Of six in the evening, as at
present. The Central Pacific is expect.
ed to also reduce its time between
Ogden and San Francisco seven hours,
making total gain of sixteen hours,
even provided the eastern roads do not
put on their lightning summer trains to
cooperate. This would bring in the
overland train which now arrives in San
Francisco at IL o'clock A. NJ, at 7
o'clock the previous evening, but il the
fast trains on the eastern roads are run,
it would reduce the time materially.
As proposed the time from New York to

Magnetism, the New Source of
Health.

DIR. Edwin Robbins, the celebrated
Australian Electric and Magnetic Healer,
respectfully informs the public that he
has opened an office in the city of Los
Angeles. DR.. Robbins discards the use
Of surgery, drugs, minerals and all other
medicines in his treatment and relies
solely on the powers of magnetism. An
experience of several years in the Aus
tralian colonies, San Francisco, Salt
Lake City and Denver, in which places
he has treated successfully thousands Of
persons, enables him to assert with con-
fidence that he can cure diseases which
have detied the application of medical
science. Magnetism is the life principle
within us. The air we breath is charged
with it. It's the vital force emanatlng
from all persons and that which con-
meets the soul with the body. In sup
port of this theory he cures acute pains
instantly, local pains in few days, and
builds up the most shattered .eonstitu-
tions in short time DIR. Robbins, who
has worldwide reputation for his OK
traordinary cures of difficult and com
plieated diseases, possesses power to
relieve and cure allkinds of disease. DR..
Robbins diagnoses diseases free of charge
without explanation from the patient.

WHICH is THE BEST ?
Phylloxera Soil-What 1t is Made
of-sand and Gravel in the AS
cendant- Charity for All-Malice
Against None-Labor and Brains
the Conquerors- Room for ALI.


Perhaps the absence Of the phylloxera
on our Southern California vines is ow-
ing to the general fact that they are
supported in the dry season by subter-
ranean moisture, raised TO the roots by
capillary attraction. Careful expert
ments have been recently made in the
phylloxera infested districts OF La Belle
France by a government commission.
In the district Of Agnes ortes, the
land is almost pure sand, and, although
adjoining phylloxera infested district,
this destructive insect has never ap-
peared there. In Cette, which has a
heavy, clayey soil, the ravenous insect
does his worst. Yet Monsieur Barral,
who read paper on the subject before
the national Academy of Sciences. states
that the soil on the surface is not cri-
terion to depend upon, but that depth
Of at least four feet should be examined
relative to the capillary properties of
the soil. If, at that depth, it is moist
similar TO our mesas-he, by numerous
experiments, has determined that, the
phylloxera is unknown. The conditions
are SO similar here that the same results
may follow.
In this connection it may be observed
that our Santa Barbara contemporary,
the Press, is attempting to make it APP
pear that the soil Of that county is supe-
rior TO that of Los Angeles because it
has hard pan beneath to hold the
water up in contact with the growing
CROP" and also that "the rainfall is
greater there than it is further south. "
As to the rainfall at Los Angeles it is
greater than it is at Santa Barbara, and
the county of Los Angeles with its
sandy land which the Press says "does
not hold moisture" will raise without
irrigation more corn, potatoes, alfalfa,
fruit, small grain, and vegetables in a
single year than our neighbor raises in
ten years. 1t may be veil also to note
that the phylloxera, if it ever comes
down this way, will settle or the hard
pan land and shun the sand and gravel.
The sand and gravel with their grape
yield Of eight tons per acre, one hun
dred bushels OF corn or six crops of
alfalfa per acre, annually, in Los An
geles, is satisfactory to the people of
this county and ii our neighbors can
excel us on hard pan substratum, we
shall be satisfied. The motto of the
HERALD ia to let every section do its
best without hindrance. All sections Of
this county are valuable for many pur.
poses, and should not be envioas of
others. Because people come here and
pay high prices for land our neighbors
should not be envious. They are salts.
fed to pay the prices for land with our
excellent mark cts and facilities of travel.
II Santa Barbara will pay as much sub
sidy for railway as Los Angeles paid.
road will be there inside of six
months. If instead of attempting to
prove that our lands are not so good as
theirs the people in our neighboring
county would do as the people of Los
Angeles county have dono they would
thrive accordingly. The soil is good in
both places but soil needs an intelligent
master.
