Considerable excitement was caused
last night at ll:30 o'clock by malicious
person firing a big bomb at the foot of
Temple street, near the cable.car termi-
nus. 1t made an unusual loud noise
and brought out number of people,
who expected to witness horrible trag-
edy, several in their hurry to get there
first, missing the last Spring street car.
Two policemen started off in pursuit of
the dynamiter, but he was too fleet and
had too much advance, SO that he disap-
peared in the darkness.

TIE question OF moment still is
what were the charges made against
Sidney Lacy and by whom were they
preferred? Lacy has an excellent
reputation here, and he was op-
posed by men OF irreproachable
name. Such men as Captain Risley,
Major III. M. Mitchell, Captain A. w.
Berrett and others never stopped to
such a trick. To state this PROPOSE

was a personal friend of Gardiner,

WHAT CAN BE DONE AT MONRovIA.
The home place of Mr.. w. N. Mon
roe illustrates in a perfect manner what
can be done at Monrovia. When this
gentleman located there, an incredibly
short time ago, it was in the midst of
brush and chapparal, which, by the
way, makes the very best land, and he
has already made himself a perfect para
disc. lie is surrounded by orange and
banana groves. The scale bug has not
dared to put in an appearance at Mon
rovia, and the oranges are large. clean
aud luscious looking-miracles of color
and flavor. The banana does better than
in Los Angeles. while the deciduous
fruits flourish finely. In midwinter the
pea and tomato vines are fairly loaded,
and they can be supplied to the
table every month in the year. Cher
'ries, prunes, plums, peaches, apricots
and nectarines do remarkably well. The
soil is rich, moist loan, not needing
irrigation for the raising of crops, al.
though irrigation is resorted to in the
summer months for the citrus fruits.

via it may be well to tell the story of
Mr.. Monroe's father, q venerable old
gentleman of seventy -four years of age.
Over year ago he came out to visit his
son, and was suffering from rheumatism
and the ordinary disabilities which beset
elderly people in the inclement winter
weather of Iowa. Under the influence
of the genial climate of the Msnrovia
foothills he at once regained much OF
his old-time vigor. and began the culli-
vation OF two and half acre patch,
planting Il in melons. He permitted no
one to assist him, and nettsd e425 from

And softly down, from branches brown,
We watch tho dead leaves fall.
And beside that same clear stream
We watched through sunny hours,
The little fish and sporting lamb
And gathered summer flowers.

And yoarsswill pass away,

And turn II hairs to gray.

Tho custom of payipg4.Ncw Year

At many places refreshments were

wishes for the new'ycar, made the day
pass pleasantly to all. On the,"part of
the young mon, we can say it was a de-
lightful afternoon, and, although the
