The people of Santa Monica are indig-
nant over the action Of the City Council
in restricting the speed of railway trains
to six miles per hour within the city
limits. The idea is ridiculous. No
member of the Council will drive as
slow as six miles an hour through the
city, then why ask the train with q
thousand persons to go at that rate!
Such foolishness was tried once in
Rochester, N. Y, and the railway
company went to work and commenced
to build around the town and leave it
out in the cold, and then the Council
-fodnd they were going to lose the taxes
on $500, 600 year. and repealed their
ordinance and showed some sense. If
the trains are restricted to six miles an
hour, team can go to Santa Monica
or Compton quicker than the
cars. We understand that the parties
who are incommoded by making the
trains occupy an hour in going from the
new depot to the Agricultural Park,
will commence wholesale arrest of all
persons driving or riding over six miles
an hour. Such proceeding would en-
rich the city about $4,000. After that
we presume an ordinance will be passed
against pedestrians walking over six
miles an hour. which is often done. 1t
is dangerous to move at all at such a
time. Shall we keep stillg

A New Use for Petroleum.

There appears to be no reason why a
gentleman owning residence Of suffi'
cient size should not light it brilliantly
with gas made from our natural petro-
leum, making light fully twice as cheap
as coal gas, and turned on and off al
will. The light is so pure and brilliant
that it casts a shadow similar to that
thrown by the electric light. The ex
pense is triAing. and enough material to
last long time is easily obtained for a
small sum. The apparatus is also mex
pensive, and is soon paid for in the i'm.
proved and less expensive illuminator

extensive, and are being utilized in many
ways at splendid profit. A considera-
BILE number Of prominent citizens Of Los
county are already using our
native product 10 this manner, but the
number should be.increased indefinitely.
The brilliant light, small cost of appa.

be sufficient reason to compel every
family and merchant to adopt this splen-
did system of illumination.

A DANGEROUS LOVER.

A pretty, inexperienced girl was Clio
tilda Fry, daughter of one of the rich
est farmers in Clarke County. Her
pink cheeks, bright eyes and brown
locks, with very attractive expression
of face, gave her certain right to be
called the Little beauty of Lake Farm
Tilda knew she was pretty. Added
to this, her novel-reading had excited
her imagination, and her ideas of life
and of her own future were full of roman
tic notions, that only an inexperienced
young girl could have She tossed her
head at all the farmers boys who sought
her acquaintance, and felt that She
should like to be sought by some ele-

pictured.
OF course, the child-for being but
sixteen she was looked upon by her
parents as hardly more than child

she had. she would have been soundlv
lectured by her blunt father:
1t happened about this time that two
men, who offered sweet-scented soaps
for sale, had been in town and had
called at many of the farmers houses.
Their appearance was such that some
OF the farmers had suspected them of
being something worse than small ped
dlers.
At this time, too. house in the vii
lage was entered and several articles of
value taken from it. This had caused
great excitement in the quiet country
town. and everybody was more careful
that doors should be locked, and that
the houses should not be left without
some one to guard them
One Sunday. Farmer Fry, after a
fam ly consultation. decided that Clo-
tilda should remain at home from
church in charge of the house, and that
new boy he had just hired should stav

The question which is gradually

law abiding portion Of the citizen
of Osceola and vicinity, is, Are W.
going to let the blind tiger keepers
and the roughs and rowdies take pos
session of the town and run it to SUI
themselves" 1t seems an easy mat
ter for an officer TO detect minor Of
fenses when committed by som,
luckless traveller, or temporary So
iourner, to tell when a man has had
one drink too much, and with math'
ematical precision define the boun-
Diary line which separates sobriety
from drunkenness; but it seems a
physical impossibility for the same
dignitaries to tell whether the blind
tigers are really selling liquors, be-
cause the jugs and kegs from which
the auids which make men drunk is
labeled syrups," and the beer bot
ties sweet cider" They can't tell
even after tasting the stud until
their faces become flushed and their
tongues set to wagging. The labck
on the jug-handles asd pasted on
the beer bottles seem to have Won
derful effect in the way of confound-
ing and throwing them off the track.
Twice have the tiger keepers been
arraigned before the Mayors court
on the charge of selling liquors with
out license, and as often have they
plead guilty and paid light fine, in
accordance with the ordinance, or
town law on the subject. Need a
conscientious township or county Of
hcer stronger proof of an infraction
of the law? Go look at the record, !,
their own admissions condemn them.
Is it necessary that a reward be Of
fered for the apprehension of viola
tors of the law, to urge perform
ance of sworn duty? That whiskey
is being sold in Osceola every day
and night is an open secret with al
most our entire community, from
our highest county officials down to
the boot blacks on the corners. We
are a target for the sport and jeers
Of the lawess, the tramps and idlers.
Osceola with her boasted temperance
law, with its culture, refinement and
civilization is fast becoming hiss
and a by-woid. If one law can lie
trampled under SCOT, what guarantee
have the citizens that another, or all
the laws may not likewise be defed:
Laws ary made for the protection Of
the citizens, and officers are elected
or appointed by the people with the
sole view of enforcing and executing
the law without considering whether
they favor or oppose it. Shall it bs

loafers were stretched out on the

they marched in, single file, and by

and practicing our blandest smile,
and had almost concluded that we
were Just as captivating as of yore,
otr better half, who brought up the
rear, smashed all the sentiment that
was just yelling up and seeking ut
terance, by eSclaiming, "Well, my
dear, can't you offer the ladies a
chair? "Of course ! can" was our
reply, "but | don't see how all these
ladies can possibly sit OH one little
chair" "Oh, never mind the chair"
said one of our smiling visitors, com.
ing 10 the rescue, we came in to
see how papers were printed, and
we can see better standing" The
party consisted of Misses. Lena vii
liams, Lizzie Volkmer, Of Memphis,
Sudie and Sallie Williams. The ra-
pidity of our old Washington press,
which under the herculean arm OF
the boss was throwing off the printed
sheets at the rate of about two a
minute, was declared wonderful
(rhe presence of so many prett,
girls is calculated to throw any sort
of motive power out of gear.) They
all promised to come back and learr
