FARMERS ARE PROSPEROUS.

Statistirinn Dodge Shows That Mort
cages in the West Are Disappearing
Rapidly.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Statistician
Dodge. of the agricultural department,
writes to a local paper protesting against
the exaggerated statements which are
made about farm mortgages in the West.
He says these loose assertions are unjust
to the agricultural classes. Two years
ago an extensive investigation of the
subject was made, and it showed Il de-
crease of farm Indebtedness during a pc
rod of ten years. In his letter the sta
tistician says: There has been alto
gether tsp much misrepresentation of
farm Indebtedness. Farmers of the
South. West and East. averaging by
states. are in Il better financial position
than they were ten years ago. Nobody
will deny this. unless he has Il crankish
theory to sustain by sweeping assertion

What the Jury Said in Boards

What the Jury Said in Boards
lies Case.
The greater part Of the day in
Judge Cheney's court yesterday was
taken in the trial of David Beardslie,
charged with having assaulted one
Chester, a nurse in the County Hos
pital, with deadly weapon.
The evidence developed the follow
ing facts: Beardslie was an inmate in
the hospital during the month of De-
-cember, 1887, and at the time of the
trouble was special nurse. He ap-
piled to DIR. Schultz for whisky for
his patient, and the doctor, thinking
that he himself was drinking it, re-
fused the request, whereupon words
ensued and Beardslie was ordered
from the room.
He drew knife and refused to 60,
whereupon the doctor, being a special
policeman, went to his office, secured
his star, and nurse proceeded to ar
rest him. Beardslie then, as the doc
tor claims, struck at Chester, then
turned and run.
Late in the afternoon the jury re-
turned a verdict of not guilty and the
defendant was discharged.
The defendant was SO full of graft
tude that he insisted on shaking
hands with each of the jurymen.

It should be remembered the
Anaheim colony did their lighterage
business through this channel in the

lost their first love. They talk of

railroad. Mr.. Campbell, late of
Ballona, will sail his little feet into

tain Healy, is busily engaged on

we have nothing but bright future
before us. Long Beach and Alamitos
evidently will be blended as one des-
tined to become city by the sea
where the pleasure seeker can reach
the extreme height of seaside enjoy
ment.

PEARSON'S CAFE.
Grand Opening Of a Tony Resort
Last EYenimR.

As Los Angeles approaches a me-
tropolis many new and creditable
business enterprises are established.
The latest in this lire is the sampling
house Of Mr.. r. g. Pearson, which
was, last evening, thrown open to the
public. The cafe is indeed credit to
the city, and will be recognized as one
of our leading and most popular re-
sorts. The resort, which is situated
in the Downey block, at the junction
of Temple, Main and Spring streets,
was last night filled with large num-
Der of our leading citizens, who
greatly admired the palatial resort
and its beautiful equipments. The
cafe is 25 feet wide by so feet deep.
The bar is of solid mahagony and
walnut, and is very substantial and
ornamental. Behind the bar is an
elegant sideboard made Of mahagony
and set with three costly beveled
mirrors, of the finest French plate.
These mirrors are diamond-shaped
on either side, while the middle glass
is circular. These beautiful fixtures
are from the house of The Bruins
wick Balk Company Of San Fran
cisco. The gas fixtures are
very unique and consist OF
handsomely polished horns which
support the Jets, and the design is
very admirable andappropriate. The
sideboard is trimmed on either side
by two very costly oil paintings,
which must be seen to be appreciated.
The decoration of the cafe was placed
in the hands Of our well-known deco
rater, j. Harry Conlan, whose work.
manship, it is almost needless to say,
was perfect, and the design and colors |
add mnch to the attractiveness OF this |
cosy resort. Off from the sojourning
room is commodious reading room,
which has also been very nicely fur
Mr.. Pearson has paid special |
attention in the selection of his liquids,
and the people can rest assured that
they will be served with the best
blended goods. Mr.. Pearson aims to
make the cafe gentleman's resort,
and will cater to the wishes of the |
public in every respect. His glass
ware is of the finest quality, equal to
that of Stocker. of New York. His at
tendants are all tried and experienced
men, and the cafe proprietor boasts |
that there is not new beverage or
drink which he will not be able to |
serve. The lunch last evening was
very sumptuous, and was heartily en-
joyed by all who visited the opening
Of this palatial resort. Mr.. Pearson
ran the Cliff house in San
Francisco. He is we'll known pio-
neer OF the State, and his many friends
do not begrudge him the prosperity
which he will undoubtedly meet with
IN his new undertaking.

Officer Auble.
The Congress lodging house was
burg glarized yesterday, the thief sue
ceeding in getting away with two over
coats, one black trimmed with fur and
the other light gray. Suspicion rests
on a tall, slim, dark complexioned
young man.
Jas. O'Donnell, Geo. Chase, John

and VIM Drew were yesterday ex-
amined on charge of vagrancy. John
Jones and VIM. Drew were released.

Niptin Colon and John Durkin were
arrested on Mission Road yesterday
by Officers Mckenzie and Lynch and
taken to the police station, where
they were booked for robbery. These
men are alleged to have stolen $26
from Mrs. Demousette on Centre
street. When searched at the station
new white handkerchief, a pair OF
opera glasses and a gold pin were
found in their possession.
The examination of David little,
for obtaining goods under false pre-
lenses, was set for Friday, January

some blankets from Mr.. Joe Epstein,
who keeps store ON East First street,
and gave him a check on the First
National Bank for SOL; also note to
the purport that when the check was
presented the money would be there
to meet it. In course of time the
check was presented and dishonored,
as Title only had 81 in the bank.

Never Before.

EDITORS HERALD Having lived in
this county for the last twenty-four
years, have no hesitancy in saying
that this is the coolest winter that l
have experienced during that length
of time, especially near the coast.
Verify, our local prophets, SO far, have
failed to assign cause for this phe-
nomenally cold and windy weather
In the absence Of a better theory, per-
haps it is just as well to ascribe it to
the overwhelming influx OF transcon-
tinental immigration. 1t is a we'll
known fact that the Fasteners, with
their superior ingenuity, are great
eoualizers. With their great trunk
lines, they equa!ize commercial trBde
and traffic. With their women and
wealth, they equalize society and hap
piness, all this and much more with
which they were laden when they
penetrated our shores. Who knows
but they carefully. slowed away
and little thunder and lightning and
a few blizzards and cyclones for the
purpose of equalizing our most genial
cline with the frozen zone.
This is truly an eventful New
Year for this section OF the sea-
side. We can mark with pleas
ure the incipiency of new
era. No longer will the honest shep-
herd be seen hereabouts with his
flock wading in clover to his knees
and watching his lambkins sport. We
are to have city with at least two
railroads and a harbor. The new
townsite of Los Alamitos is now upon
the market and lots are eagerly sought
after. 1t is beautifully laid out,
fronting the ocean from Long Beach
to the Los Alamitos harbor, where its
magnificent artesian water system
will soon be extended. New road
ways are now being graded up the
table near the hotel site to the
beach. The Southern Pacific Rail
road Company has graded on Second
street through Long Beach to the
Alamitos line. The A. & I. has sur
veyed and will commence grading
at the east end of the town in few
days. The officials of this latter COM
pany have been taking soundings of
the bay to their great satisfaction.
They find several miles of naviga-
BILE water inside the bar ranging from
six to sixteen feet in depth at low
tide, with ample width and on easy
formation for dredging. A tug steam
er and lighters, with material, are ex-
pected to arrive soon, when work will
at once be commenced. An early COM
pletion will be impossible, owing to
the magnitude of the enterprise.
Those we'll informed have no doubt
as to the feasibility OF this company
making the bay one of the finest in
land harbors along this coast. There
are no logical reasons why this can
not be made the equal if not super
ior harbor to San Pedro, possessing
as it has some great natural advan-
tages, one of which is the discharge
of the new San Gabriel river into the
bay half mile from it's outlet. The
easy formation for dredging the depth
