The Robbery at DaRgett.

The San Bernardino Times of the
26th has the following acoountof the rob-
berry and conviction Of the thief Of Wells,
Fargo a Co.'s box at Dssgett Station.
a few days since: "Royal Wood. Jr.,
was sentenced this morning to the Peni-
tentiary for two years for embezzling
$500 from Wells, Fargo 4 Co. 8 express
at Daggett. Wood was their agent at
that place. Upon discovery of the loss
OF the money, Mr.. j. N. Tbacker, de-
tective for the company, was dispatched
to Daggett to investigate the matter,
and after investigation fixed IL upon the
agent. When Mr.. Hume, also Wells.
Fargo 4 Co. man arrived, they accused
the agent Of the crime, and when Wood
found it impossible to clear himself he
confessed to them to have taken the
money, which was shown up where he
had buried it in his chicken house. He
had used $500 which he has made good
to the company. 1t is q mistake that
the company agreed to drop the matter
If he gave up all the money, but he was
informed that the matter would be re-
ferred to Mr.. Valentine Of San Fran
cisco, and so it was. The order was re-
turned to arrest Wood, and Mr.. Thicker
came to San Bernardino and swore out
the warrant for his arrest, which was
made by Deputy Sheriff Walker, Of CAL
leo. After arriving here. Wood. upon
examination before Justice Knox, plead
guilty and again before the Superior
Court the same day plead guilty. After
receiving his sentence, Wood thanked
the Court. It is the history of Wells,
Fargo & Co., to let "no guilty man es-
cape"

Blaine's Dodaing Policy.

NEw.LoNDoN, Conn. Sept. l7.-At a
grand Cleveland and Hendricks banner
raising in this, his own. town, Governor
Thomas W. Waller made his opening
campaign speech last evening. Among
other things he said
"Gov. Cievelands great competitor
may be as eloquent as Robert Ingersoll,
who dubbed him knight, and as bril-.
liant historian as Macaulay, to whom
Gen. Hawley takes pleasure in compar.
ing him. But there is one thing that
he lacketh, without which he cannot
command the respect of the people OF
not depend upon Others. He has within
a week confessed it himself. In the late
election in the State of Maine the Pro.
hibitory amendment was submitted to
the vote of It's people. The country was
watchful Of the action Of citizen Blaine
on the question. He was at the polls
with "yes" aud "ns" ballotin his right
and left hand. In pity behold him as
he stands confronting that dilemma.

lose, he thinks, the support of political
saints. II he votes "yes," the support
of political sinners. Laughter.) He
hesiiates and he is lost. Applause.
He looks on one side and then on
the other, and he votes upon neither.

and historian, has igRominiously lodged

Scylla and Charybdis. and touched
neither rock, but he struck upon both.
The image that some Republicans have
worshipped is broken--Mr. Blaine, the
Plumod Knight of Maine, has shown the
white feather. The act Of weakness in
the presence Of the Nation shows the
character of the man, and 1t will, in my
judgment, do him more harm at the
ballot box in November than could the
Mulligan letters, if there were dose OF
them every day in the week." Laugh,

Ananeim Items.

From the Gazette of yesterday the fol.
lowing items are selected
The sand.gate in the Anahaim upper
ditch will be completed on Tuesday, and
thsreafter ater will flow steadily in the
various bitches.
The Burruel Point Touring mill is be-
ing transformed into . roller mill, the
stones being discarded. About five
Thousand dollars will be spent in this
improvement and in increasing the
capacity of the mill, the output of which
will be car load of flour per day. The
mill will start up in about two weeks.
Dillin 4 Co. have made good -four here
tofore, and with the improved process
their -four will doubtless be superfine.
The vintage season may be said to
have fairly opened in Anaheim. Heavily
laden teams pass along the various high
ways in almost cesseless procession car
rying the fruit of the vines from the field
to the press. The sand upon the road is
stained with the purple juice which
trickles from the mass OF grapes, and
the small boy watcheth his opportunity
to fitch o bunch from the stern of the
wagon when the watchful driver has his
attention diverted. In thirty or more
vineyards may be seen that scene, so
picturesque in pictures, OF men cutting
bunches of grapes from the prolific
vines; and in thirty or more cellars the
creak Of the crusher as it presses the
grapes is borne 10 the ears of the visitor.
In other climss, where nature 10 not
as generous as here, and where the grape
vine 10 unknown, the Imagination of the
reader will doubtless invest the account
Of . vintage scene with halo and ro-
nance entirely foreign to the reality, as
viewed by those accustomed to its an
nual repetition. Our view of the vim
tage is sordid, not romantic; we are not
at all interested in the picturesque Chi
nese grape picker nor the tan-colored
Indian turning the crusher, but we are
concerned in the number of tons to the
acre and the prospective price for the
wine which will be made this season.
There Is an irreconcilable conflict be-
tween poetry and pocket, between ro-
nance and reality, and where ones ex.
chequer is interested the romantic side
Of the picture concerns him very little.

Tea Adulterations.
AN EXPOSURE OF THE TRUE CHARACTER
OF GREEN TEA.

As It may prove interesting to tea
drinkers to know what they are drink
ing we reproduce the following exper-
ience Of reporter from the New York
Times, Aug. % 1883. Speaking of
authorizations he says:
1.-TWO of the unmixed powders of pure
white proved to be gypsum and soap
stone respectively. The third, deep
blue powder, was Prussian blue, which
Is an active poison. Que of the mixed
powders contained per cent of this
active poison, and the other 10 per cent.
These powders, pale blue in color. are
the material used in giving to tea the
pale green, which SO many tea buyers
enormously consider mark of good tea
and without their use that color cannot
be obtained. Tea so colored and adul-
terated was the tea rejected by Mr..
Davies yesterday, and anyone knowing
the properties Of Prussian blue will
agree with him in characterizing such
tea as "viIe stuff not fit to drink and
the sale of which is almost criminal.
There is really no excuse for enduring
this wholesale and bare. faced adultera-
ton Of tea, when there is such simple
means of avoiding it altogether. 1t is
universal known that the Perfection Tea
Can, controlled by the Japan Tea Syn
dicste, which refuses to ship any but
pure teas Of good quality in this pack
age is an absolute guarantee for the
purity and character of it's contents.
The character, therefore, of both Eola
Tea and the "White Cross" brand are
established beyond doubt, and tho
importers beg to call close attention to
this manner Of packing their brands of

Charlotte Thompson.

The following is taken from the Call
Of Aug. 81:
AT the Bush Street Theatre Miss
Charlotte Thompson made her re-entree
to very select audience in Jane
Eyre" She was most enthusiastically
received, being called before the curtain
at the end Of every act. The years that
have passed since first she appeared In
this city have fallen lightly upon her.
The same fire, the same genius that
won for her so many admirers then, re-
mains to her In undiuiinished force. She
has, If any ything, improved in the perfect
finish with which she imbues the char.
acter Of the heroine. In her line, we think
she stands foremost upon the Ameri.
can stage; certainly she has no superior.
1t way really enjoyable to notice the per.
feet ensemble of the performance. The
characters sustained by the male portion
Of the company were most excellent,
noticeably Mr.. Ecnsrey, as Professor
Brockslhurst; Mr.. Woodson as Jacob.
the major domo; and MIR. Craig as Lord
Rochester. Itis greatly to Miss Thomp.
sons credit to have around her a com.
pany Of thoroughly trained and good
actors. In these days Of "snap COM
paAies" it Is delightful to find an actress
who holde her art and profession high
enough to see that every detail Of the
performance is thoroughly well attended
TO. We have no doubt that Miss
Thompson will, in Los Angeles find
that appreciation which her talent SO
richly deserves.

Mr.. J. B. Raine, the only hop grower
in this valley, has sold and delivered his
crop of this year. There were seventy
two bales, and they were hauled to the
depot last week. Mr.. Raine is one of
the most careful and experienced hop
growers in the country, and would have
had a fine crop this year had it not been
for destructive overfows, which carried
away q portion Of his hop yard and COW

Judge West made brief speech and

Blaine and party then returned to
Cleveland, where they arrived at four

Blaine remained at the Vsnnard
House receiving callers and attending
to correspondence until six o'clock,
when he returned to Mrs. Garfield's.
He will spend quiet Sunday there, 60

A CowardIy GaIde Responsible for

A Cowardly Guide Responsible Tor
Miss Welt0n's Death.
DENVER, Sept. 27.-Later informa-
tion of the death of Miss Carrie l.
Welton, who perished in a snow-storm
while making the descent Of Longs
Peak Tuesday night. is received. The
opinion becomes general that Miss Welton
was deserted by her guide, who did not
return to the rescue until next morning.
Mr.. Gilbert, livery man Of Estes Park,
says, that obedient to Miss Welton's
orders he drove over to the guides
house on Wednesday morning to meet
her on the return from the summit, and
drive her back to Estes Park hotel. On
entering the guides house he was
informed OF Miss Welton's death and
was told that the father and son were
on the peak bringing the body down.
The livsryman drove rapidly up the
trail for FIVE miles, where he met the
men with the body, which was found
only . mile further on the way, at ten
O'Clock in the morning, six hours from
the time the guide says he found the
body. Residents of the park discredit
the guides story and charge him with
criminal cowardice and possibly being
responsible for the lady's death. The
Corouer will investigate the matter.
