sooner does the impecunious citizen become
broken down and debilitated, than he rushes off
to the hospital. Even persistent dyspepsia and
constipation are getting to be excuses for admis

protest against further continuance of this per-
nicious practice. 1t costs the county many
hard dollars for the treatment of every one of
these unfortunates, and it is high time that they
should know that they can save the county that

THE HE WINE VAT.
WINE THAT MAKES GLAD THE
HEART OF MAN.
.Chas. Stern g. Sons Crushing 100 Tons of
Grapes Day in This City-A Few
Facts and Figures.

Ii anyone wants to know how good
wine is made, he should go over the
covered bridge, Macy street, to the win
cry of the Messrs. Chas. Stern and Sons.
A day or two ago a HERALD reporter
paid visit to that establishment and
found a score of teams in the yard await
ing each it's turn at the scales where the
loads are dumped. The grapes are
brought in in boxes, the teams hauling
5000 to 5000 pounds of the fruit. Many
were four-horse teams.
There were many varieties of grapes
in the loads. There were Blan Eileen,
Malvoisie, Sultanas, Berger, Black
hamburgs, Muscat and Mission.
These grapes come from all around
the city and its vicinity, and from
Azusa, Alhambra, Lordsburg Lamanda
Park, Rivera, Ell Toro and other places
The Nadeau vineyards will furnish
this year2 500 tons. There have been de-
livered from these vineyards already
1000 tons. 1t is expected that the
winery will crush, this season, as much
as 5000 tons. At present 100 tons a
day are being showed through the
LII
winery near here that is taking grapes.
The San Gabriel wine company got all
their watts full the week before last, and
had to shut down until fermentation
had progressed to allow the watts to be
emptied. The Sunny Slope people are
handling only their own grapes this
year.
Messrs. Stern & Sons are making
the juice OF all their grapes into white
wine, red wine, sweet wine, dry wine
and brandy. Most of it will go into
brandy, and of the wine most will be
sweet wines. If it is to be distilled into
brandy the Juice and skins are let
ferment together. The same is done for
all sorts of red wine. Red wine is made
of red grapes, fermented, skins and all.
White wine is made of white grapes,
but the skins are not fermented with
the juice. The wine would be pink.
The prices being paid at the crusher
are $14 to $17 per ton, according to the
variety and condition of the grapes.
Muscats will not make as much wine
as Zinfandel or Mission grapes. The
average is about $50 gallons to the ton.
Thus the crush comes to about $1,000
gallons day, which calls for great
deal of cooperage to take care of it. The
campaign at this big winery will result
in about three quarters of million gal
Ions of grape juice. 1t takes about six
gallons Of wine to still one gallon of
brandy.
The crews at the winery work night
and day. 1t is often midnight before
the yard is cleared of teams.
The winery is supplied with steam
pipes, so when the weather is cold the
juice is heated as fast as expressed to
about sixty degrees, The watts are kept
at about the same temperature night
and day so as to aid fermentation.
The Messrs. Stern & Sons have been
in this business for generation. They
are bred to it and know all its ms and
outs. Their products are known all
over the union as the best made, and
sell on their merits alongside OF imported
goods,

INDIGNANT REPUBLICANS.
a Ringing Protest Against Last Sat
urday's Primary Frauds.


An old Republican of the Seventh
ward, in casual conversation with a
representative of the HERALD yesterday,
said: "The decent Republicans of our
ward feel outraged, first, at being over
slaughed at the primary Saturday by
outsiders in the most shameless man
sets up to be the organ of the party,
commend the work of the pot-house
politicians and "macks" and ringsters,
and abuse selfrespecting Republicans
by classifying them as the tools of Boyce
whom they despise only little more
intensely than they despise the editor
of the Times himself"
This Republican, who appears to be
thoroughly disguised at the scandalous
proceedings, not only in his own ward,
but in several other wards as well, which
the Republican papers fail to condemn,
says the dissatisfaction is general
throughout the Seventh ward, and that
the convention ought, on the score of
fair play and decency and regard for
its own dignity, to investigate the shock
ing frauds at last Saturdays primaries;
and if it finds the charges, made by hun
dreds of respectable Republicans, true,
to throw out several wards. There may
be some good men on the tickets appar-
parently elected in those wards, but
they were placed there generally with
out their knowledge, to give an air OF re-
spectability to tickets which were put
up by disreputable gang of schemers,
and elected by the aid of "macs" and
nonresident repeaters. He says it don't
seem to do any good to complain either
to the county committee or to the Re-
publican papers. The latter tell those
who are dissatisfied with these out
RACES that they had better go
over to the Democrats and then
bid them good radiance" and most
likely abuse them as no better
than horse-thieves.
He says he and hundreds OF other Re-
publicans indorse every word OF Mr..
Fielding's letter in yesterdays HERALD;
and especially his query: "Has the Re-
publican party not enough to carry with
its Montaflos, Damrons and its Lock-
woods, that it must drive still more of
self-respecting men from its lines"
The Abbotts and two officers of Lock
woods court, were about equally active
last Saturday in showing up voters for
the successful ticket, no matter where
they came from. Altogether, so far as
we have talked with Republicans, not
office-seekers, but who only want good
government, the dissatisfaction amongst
the rank and file, at the corrupt meth
DDS the party has fallen into, is both
deep and widespread, and bodies no
good to it's success on the 4th of next
November.

Prof. w. w. Seamans, incumbent Of
the office, will be renominated at the
Republican convention tomorrow for SUI
perintendent of schools in this county
There is big revolt against him even
in his own party, but he is slated by the
ring, and will get the nomination. 1t is
important that the Democratic party
put up a good man to run against him,
as such one can be elected. Thus far
Democrats, with their customary en-
grossment in business and modesty OF
character, do not come forward for Of
fee. 1t will be necessary to get some
good men in by force. Prof. Innis is
spoken OF by a good many Democrats
as an excellent man for the place. Get

A PETTY SUIT,
In Which Superior Judge and Three
Justices Have Hand.

Some time ago . civil suit was brought
in the township Justices court, entitled
White vs.. Smith. Smith wanted a
change OF venue which was granted by
Justice Savage, provided his costs and
those of the constable were paid. Upon

forthcoming, the change of venue was
granted to Justice Austin's court.

and upon White making the proper
motion, Justice Marshall sitting for
Justice Savage, vacated the order for a
change Of venue. Then Smith took out
writ of prohibition, which was heard
yesterday before Judge Shaw of depart
ment five, and taken under advise
