committee in investigating the causes OF the
trouble at the Franklin mines, Aldermen Hall,
Korn, Snyder and Sweeney and Delegates Bar
ton and lansing met in the city clerks Office.
w. q. Armstrong was present to represent the
Western Central Labor Union and stated that It
was not expected to have the council act in its
official capacity. but IL was desired to have its
members act as q body OF citizens so that 1t
could not be charged that biased committee
had been selected Considerable informal dis
should be appointed.
President Hall thought the citizens commit
tee should select member from each house and
not make a meeting necessary.
Mr.. Armstrong said this would give 1t the ap-
pearance of q one-sided affair, and that is what
It was sought to avoid.
Alderman Snyder thought it proper that the
request be complied with.
Alderman Korn took the same view of 1t. az
the interests of the city were affected by the
trouble
Delegate Barton also urged the appointment of
the committee.
Finally the members present organized, with
President Hall as chairman, and on motion
Alderman Miller and Delegate lansing were APP
pointed to act in accordance with the spirit of
the request
Yesterday afternoon at o'clock the citizens
committee met at ]. 7. Ronalds Office and in
formally discussed the advisability OF taking up
an investigation of the trouble now after the
grand jury has passed upon it. Some of the
members thought report conflicting with that
of the grand jury would leave the committee
liable for contemp. of court. II was finally de-
cided to meet again at Mr.. Ronald's Office on
Wednesday afternoon at O'Clock, when, it is
expected, representative OF the Chamber of
Commerce, one from the Board of Trade and the
two from the city council will be present.

THE LATONA CAR LINE.
Suburban Residents Complain of tn,
Double Fare.

The FIRST car over the Rainier Electric Railway
d Power Companys road reached the Latona
bridge Thursday evening, and the event was
celebrated by speeches delivered by Mr.. d. T.
Denny, B. A. Bennett and others. The Excel
sior band, composed of Juveniles under the age
of Is, was present. and enlivened the occasion
with several selections performed in a very
creditable manner.
1t is the intention OF the management. as this
is short line, to charge cent fare to the
present terminus of the Lake Union line, and
then IL costs the passenger cents more to get
into town. The residents seem to think this
very unjust, as the road is only a fraction over
three miles long from Occidental square, and
there are several roads running over longer dis
tances and carrying passengers for one fare.

They Enjoy a Delightful Visit from OIL
yer Wendell Holmes.
Ii people know you come here to col
lege, the question you get tired of an
swering is, "Oh, SO you go to Harvard,
don't your If you don't feel strong
enough to explain you say EYES," but
really that isn't true at all. The annex
has nothing to do with the college in any
system of coeducation, but we do have
just the same professors and have to pass
the same examinations. A man gives a
lecture to the boys, and then comes over
and gives the same one to us.
Even the Harvard Annex" is not our
real name. The story goes that twelve
years ago, when the society was started,
there was only one girl here, and as the
fellows never saw her they called her
San K, the missing quantity" However
true this may be, the Annex we re-
main, and, indeed, how could you talk
about "The Society for the Collegiate In
struction of Women?' we haven't any
dormitories, but recite in the old Fay
house, which has just been beautifully
made over for us, and here luncheon is
served for those who want it.
Most of the ITO girls live in Boston
and vicinity. There are only three or
four New Workers, and whenever these
chance to meet they always seem per-
fectly delighted.
We really have very good times here.
You see there are no rules and regula-
tions to speak of. The only one that oc-
ours to me is notice posted up on the
bulletin board requesting us not to use
the tables as chairs. It's great temp
tation, but Of course not exactly dig
nified.
A few weeks ago the English club in
vited us all to a tea to meet Oliver Wen
dell Holmes. 1t was very warm and
there was quite crush, and you'd think
the dear old man would have been tired
shaking hands with so many, but he
said he enjoyed it, and was persuaded to
read us the "Chambered Nautilus and
Dorothy"
When he went we escorted him to the
door, and one of the girls gave him
beautiful bunch of pink roses. Then he
drove off, bowling and smiling, and we
waved our handkerchiefs to him until he
was out of sight.
We feel quite elated at the honor, for
they say Dr.. Holmes declined to meet
the Harvard English club. At all events
we had him, and they didn't, and this is
indeed triumph for the Annex.-Cor.

DROPPED OUT OF SIGHT.
AN ONTARIO MAN DOES THE GREAT
DISAPPEARING ACT.
He Ties His Horse to Telegraph Pole
and Walks Out Into the Great Unfnda-
ble-The Facts in the Case.

Here's another mysterious disappear
ance. G. HI. Dyar is a member of the
firm of G. H. Dyar & Co., real estate
brokers and insurance agents of Ontario.
Mr.. Dyar left Ontario day before yester-
day, says Sundays issue OF the San Ber-
nardino Times-Index, in a buggy on a
business trip. Shortly before noon yes
terday he stopped at the residence of
Farley King, on the Rialto bench, about
three miles from this city, and requested
to see Mr.. King. He was not at home.
but Mrs. King informed Dyar that he
would he there at l o'clock. Dyar
wanted to insure Mr.. Kings house,
and when he left he said he would
return at that time. AS far as known
at present Mr.. Dyar has not
been seen since. When Mr.. King
returned home he noticed horse hitched
to a buggy tied to telegraph pole
short distance east of his house. He
paid no particular attention to it, and
after dinner went to work again. On
returning in the evening Mr. King found
the rig still there and became little un-
easy. AS the horse was there at sun
down Mr.. King put it up and fed it,
and this morning drove it into town and
notified the city marshal of the facts re-
lated above.
Marshal Thomas notified the sheriff's
Office, and then in company with Mr..
King went to search for Mr.. Dyar.
Sheriff Seymour also sent out men to aid
in the search. 1t is Mr.. Thomas's i'm
preston that Dyar is dead 1t was
learned that he was a temperate man,
of most exemplary habits.
Mr.. Thomas returned from Rialto
shortly after noon, and reported that
nothing could be learned of Dyars
whereabouts. He and Mr.. King, in
company with Joe Arbois, of the sher-
ifs office, made very thorough search
of the country round about Rialto, but
found no traces of the man, nor anyone
who had seen him. The belief that he
had got onto train and left the town is
gaining ground, but no reason for such
action is known, His father came down
from Ontario to Rialto this morning. but
no word has been received from him by
anyone here.
Mr.. Dyar is man of about So years of
age, and, has wife and three children.
The following dispatch was received
last night about the man:
ONTARIO, CAL, June &c. HI. Dyar,
the insurance agent who disappeared at
Rialto on Friday, has been heard from.
His wife received letter today eyi-
IDENTIFY mailed on the train. He said he
had gone away to make some money,
but he gave no .clew to his present
whereabouts.
