There is more c1tarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. j. Cheney &c Co., To-
ledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure
on the market. 1t is taken internally in
doses of from 10 drops to teaspoonful. 1t
acts directly on the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system. They offer one hun
dred dollars for any case it fails to cure.

LUCKY BROOKS.
He Gets a New Trial on a Grave
Charge.

The hearing OF motion for new
trial in the case of Thomas A. Brooks, a
young man who some time ago was con-
victed of rape on the person of Anna
Caskey on the 1st of April, took place
yesterday afternoon in Judge McKin-
ley's court. 1t will be remembered that
the two young people eloped together
from Santa Monica, went through an
alleged mock marriage here, and were
arrested couple of days later in Santa
Barbara. Anna Caskey was not present
at the trial, having left the state, so her
preliminary testimony was used at the
trial. Since then she has returned, and
is anxious to help Brooks out of his
trouble. The ground upon which the
new trial was asked was newly discov-
cred testimony, and consists in the affi-
davit of Anna Caskey, who calls herself
Mrs. Thomas A. Brooks, who AYERS that
he did not commit the crime
alleged, nor did he have any
relations of any nature with her
from the time they eloped until
they were arrested by the officers. Mrs.
Brooks, if such she be, is a young
woman, weighing 1853 pounds, feet s
inches in height, and she appears fully
1S years of age, although she is herself
of the belief that she is not Is yet. The
court granted the motion, and it is very
probable that this will be the last of the
matter.

PARK COMMISSION.

The board of park commissioners held
special session yesterday morning in

in the chair, and Messrs. S. G. Hubbell
Sutherland Hutton and M. L. Wicks
present.
After approving the payroll of the de-
partment for the month Of July, amount
ing to 81 ,569, and number of demands
aggregating $500, the board instructed
Clerk Robinson to request the council
to cause a connection to be made be-
tween the new pipe at Westlake park
and the Jones reservoir, on account of
the uncertainty of the water supply
under the existent arrangements.
The routine business having thus been
disposed of, the commissioners took up
the question of abandoning the original
board, in favor of themselves as the new
board, recently appointed by the COVER
nor. After some discussion of the mat
ter it was decided that the new board
should meet in the near future for the
purpose of organization, after which it
will pass resolutions informing it's pre-
decessor of it's action, by virtue OF an
act passed by the last legislature. These

CHEAP LUMBER.
Mr.. Schultz's Method of Getting Plenty
of Firewood.

Jack Skinner, the contractor, has an
unfenced lot at the corner of Wilmington
and Requena streets, where he keeps a
lot of lumber. For the last six months
Skinner has been losing considerable
quantities of his material, and he has
lately set Robert Meisser, one of his
employees, to watch it.
Yesterday afternoon Meisser saw two
men with light wagon transferring a
load of wood from the lot to their ve-
hicie. When he attempted to stop
them one of the fellows ran away: but
the one who drove the wagon, and who
gave his name as Nick Schultz, was de-
tained until the arrival of Officer Harris,
who brought him and Witness Meisser
to the station. Mr.. Skinner was sent
for, and after hearing the facts charged
Schultz with petty larceny. Schultz
claimed to be in the employ of Mr..
Shearer, the contractor, and had his
orders to take away the lumber. Mr..
Skinner says that story cannot be true.

A NEW TERMINAL
For the Rapid Transit and Redondo
RAILWAYS,

The Redondo Beach Railway Com
pany is trying to secure terminal facili-
ties at the foot of First street, on the
east side of the river. 1t proposes to
have its depot on the Clement tract,
providing that it finds it can swing its
line into the city by way of Compton
and the south. This move will entail a
great expense, but the present terminal
puts it at such great disadvantage that
something must be done.
This is but one detail of large
scheme now being negotiated between
the Redondo road people and the San
Gabriel Valley Rapid Transit Company.
The idea is that the two shall unite on
this depot proposition, and thus make
the two roads one virtually from Azusa
and Pasadena to the sea. 1t would
make both lines easy of access, and
would increase their business tremen-
dously. AT present the plan looks as if
it could be easily consummated.

Local Delegates Who Will Meet

In consequence of the acceptance by
Colonel Fred Crocker, of the Southern
Pacific Company, of the offer of subsidy
and right-of-way by the San Jose con-
vention, to complete the coast line to
San Francisco, Mr.. Ellwood Cooper,
president of the convention, has called a

delegates from this county are Hon.

rett and Councilman r. E. Wirsching.
The completion of this line means the
opening of large extent of country to
Los Angeles trade; country which is
excessively productive, but little known
to travellers, as heretofore it has been
poorly supplied with transportation
facilities
