Only Plain, Ordinary Citizens.


Only Plain, Ordinary Citizens.
Two young men of this city who attend
ed the Los Angeles Convention, stopped
over on their return at Lancaster to look
after some desert land they had purchased
some months ago on speculation. They
put up at the hotel, hired wagon, span of
horses, driver and surveyor, and started
out upon the arid cactus plains to try and
locate the land they purchased, with the
vain hope that in time it would blossom
like the rose" and fill their Golfers with
shining ducats. On their return to the
hotel they were surprised to find that
the proprietor had made out their
bill somewhat after the style of
Swift's and Reeds at the Nadeau.
Mine host was politely informed that they
had no intention of buying the hotel. In
fact they had all the real estate in that
cactus country they desired. One of the
young men in the meantime had inter
viewed one of the proprietor's sons,
bright lad, who informed him that the reg
ular prices were % cents meal and 30
cents for lodgings. When this piece of
information was made known to the pro-
prietor he swore that his bill was made out
correctly. The common traveller came in
for the scale of prices enumerated by his
son. Gentlemen of means came in for
double that amount, and he charged dudes
anything he thought he could get.
He classified the Sacramento land
spectators under the latter head,
and made out his bill
accordingly. After some discussion the
Mojaye desert landlord was convinced that
the supposed dudes were only plain, ordi-
oft q aHn
on dollar and quarter per day basis.
The Saeramentans had not gone far from
the hotel, when taking their final depart
ure, when they heard the boy crying most
piteously. On glancing back they discov-
cred the irate inn-keeper punching the seat
of the boys trousers very vigorously with
the toe of his boot.
CHURCH SocIAL.-The members of the \.
NJ. E. Church gave en- entertainment for
the benefit of their pastor at Pioneer Hall
last evening, which was well attended and
proved very enjoyable affair. Their little
brick church on Seventh street, between Il
and G, is undergoing thorough repairs, and
the expense of $500 has crippled somewhat
the support of their pastor. The exercises
consisted of a literary and musical pro-
gramme of rare merit. The young ladies
and young gentlemen who took part ac
quilted themselves very creditably. Pro-
fessor L. G. Ferguson acted as musical di-
rector, assisted by Mrs. r. J. Fletcher.
VIM. Page presided at the piano.
In CoNsULTATIoN.-There was a Joint
meeting last evening of the City Trustees
and the committee representing the Board
of Trade, at which the city bond question
was discussed in all its multifarious bear
ings upon the interests of the community.
There was, of course, nothing official nor
formal in the discussion, and no conclu-
sion could possibly be arrived at that would
partake of an official character. So far as
the Trustees are concerned, they each and
all openly declare that they will inform the
public in advance of whatever proposition
they may conclude to offer the bondhold
ers on behalf of the city.
