His Trained Tarantula.

A half-breed boy of Mexican and
Indian blood recently attracted much
attention at Winslow. A. T.. by the
performances of an educated tarantula
he owns. says the Philadelphia Times.
He carries the big. formidable-looking
insect in a large wooden box slung
about his neck. which. when exhibiting
his pet. he places on the ground rs q
sort of stage. At the command OF its
master the tarantula mounted small
ladder. rang bell and performed on
a miniature trapeze- Then, TO the
humping of a tambourine in the hands
of the boy, it proceeded to revolve
slowly about. as If waltzing. and when
it had finished saluted the crowd by,
lifting one leg three times.
After its performance was over it
crawled to its masters shoulder. where
it sat. occasionally running around his
neck or down into his bosom. The
boy says he tanned the spider when it
was young. first by feeding it ever
day until it grew accustomed to him.
then gradually taught ii the tricks il
knows. He declares that it Is mucL
more intelligent than any dog and
very tractabie. though uncompromis-
ing in its enmity to any one but HIM
self. It is rs large as a silver dolias
when curled mp, though its legs a
two or three inches long.
The body is an ugly dull browns
covered with short, coarse black hair,
which also covers the limbs, but Is
very sparse and bristly. The eyes are
small and gleam like diamond points.

Persecution of jews i'm Russia.

the villages are not really within fifty

contemptuous question which has hereto

It does not prove that orange raising
will be profitable in the north.
Cotton raising is not likely to prove
profitable in California until wages fall.
and it is probably best to go on in the old
way, getting good pay for work and
buying the cotton cheaper work else

not very lively. When the people are
educated up to its use, as they will be in

Strawberries are so cheap now that
some people do not find it profitable to
even pick them.
There are many ranchmen in the foot
hill regions who have invested in new
coyote traps, and will give extra atten-
tion to the capture of the beasts. now
that bounty of $5 per coyote scalp is
paid by the county. Charles Powell has
got nine scalps already.
The San Dimas hotel and forty acres
OF surrounding land (including ten acres
of 2-year-old orange orchard) were sold
last week for $4,000. A large amount of
acreage property has been sold at San
Dimas this season, and many new orch
ards will be started there next spring.
Lemons are gaining in favor each year
with the fruit growers of this section.
G. E. Sumner has just planted eight
acres to lemons near the Santa Fe road.
j. A. Owen is planting this week on his
twenty acre piece four acres OF lemons
and four of oranges. He now has it all
set to oranges, lemons and prunes.
1t is noticeable that in some of the
prune orchards in this section the fruit
is dropping to considerable extent,
though it is thought not enough to en-
danger good crop. Much of the young
fruit drops off each year, and often more
has to be pulled off, to prevent the trees
from breaking down under their burdens.
A Pomona man has letter from the
editor of Harper's Weekly, asking for
photographs of the great sugar factory at
Chino, and a descriptive article about
that institution as soon as it gets in run
ming order. The Chino factory is at
tracing attention among sugar makers
everywhere. 1t is to be the largest on
this continent.
If the plans of M. L. Wicks of Los
Angeles, and other owners of large
tracts of land in the vicinity of San
Dimas, are carried into execution, the
largest adobe reservoir ever known in
these parts will be built in a year or
two, so that the water from San Dimas
canon can be stored. Mr.. Wicks has
had men at work on the project for
weeks.

that of eight horses attached to gang

a young and handsome lady, the daugh-

How They Cure rheumatism in Penn
sylvaDia


Mr.. J. F. Meighan, Pittsburgh cigar
dealer, awoke one morning with an at
tack of rheumatism in his right arm.
Working around the store during the
forenoon made it worse By noon the
pain was so severe that he could not
raise his hand to his head and had to
carry his arm in sling. One of his Gus
toners, ON learning the facts, went
across the street to b. E. Heck's drug
store, and at his own expense procured
a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm
and persuaded the cigar dealer to try it.
1t eased the pain and reduced the swell
ing so that by the next morning he
could use his arm, and by the second
morning was entirely well. This is only
one of the many severe cases OF rheuma-
tism that have been cured by this valu-
able remedy. 80 cent bottles for sale

Tue private Trials MADE during the past
week. sf
The high jump will bring together at
least half dozen athletes. George
Reebe, Ed. Chapman, Paul Flammer,
Hopperstead and Germain will try for
the gold medal at this game. There is
every reason to believe that the club re-
cord held by j. w. Winston of feet u
inches will be beaten. It will not be
beaten very much, however, and the
man who can clear the bar at feet 8
inches will doubtless win. No man who
can jump 5 feet should stay out of the
competition. The same men and sew
eral OF the sprinters will contest in the
running broad jump, and hop, step and
Jump. This latter event could well have
been left out of the programme.
The cycling events promise to be in
teresting, as it is reported that COM
petitor from Riverside is to ride a
pneumatic-tired machine. This piece
Of news has created some CONSERVATION
in local wheeling circles. As far as
known this is the only pneumatic tired
machine in the west. The pneumatic
was recently introduced by an English
firm, and has caused revolution in
racing circles. 1t is fully ten seconds
faster. This is apparent when it is
stated that the best English profess
sional record for mile made on an
ordinary racing machine is 2:31 1-5
seconds, while the record last year for
the pneumatic was 2 20 3-5, and trial
of 213 is reported. This record has not
been accepted, however. The above is
given to show why the local riders are
little scared to run against pneumatic
tired machine.
The safety race will have at least six
entries. Will Tufts. d. L. Burke, Bob
Woodwork, and McGarvin are in train
ing, and it promises to be very close
and exciting race, and if the track is in
fair condition new coast record will be
established. The y mile will bring to-
gether good field. 1t looks to be a very
open event with such flyers as Allen,
Burke, Shrode, Bundy, and the mysteri-
Gus pneumatic tired man competing.
Will Allen will ride a Columbia racer;
D. l.. Burke will be mounted on Vic
tor racer; Shrode, the Monrovia cyclone,
will ride Star racer. and Bundy will be
mounted on a light Champion. There
will be several other competitors not
enumerated above, and the chances are
favorable for red-hot contests. The
mile bicycle will be contested by the
same men who ride in the y mile.

Among the guests at the Hotel Palo-
mares in this place, three years ago last
winter, was Oscar E. Phelps, OF Ports
mouth, N. H., says the Pomona Progress
He was an old gentleman, very eccentric
and notional. He suffered severely with
asthma and slightly with rheumatism,
and was naturally not the pleasantest
and most jovial guest in the house. The
old gentleman was particularly fussy
about his meals and the care Of his room.
He spent two months at the Palomares.
At the same time there was among the
hotel walters, George Peckman, poor
but agreeable young man, who had had
many of the hard knocks of life in try
ing to get living. He had wandered
all over the country, and was not worth
a dollar.
Mr.. Phelps was given a seat at the
dining table upon which Peckman
waited, and for a time the waiter was
scolded most soundly by the old gentle
man because the food did not taste
right. Peckman never lost his temper,
but he rather humored the guest, got
him the very best the hotel afforded,
always treated him with utmost kind
ness and good cheer. A friendship soon
grew between Mr.. Phelps and the waiter,
and they often went out for little walks
together and Peckman spent hours in
the old gentleman's room.
The. sequel has come this week. 1t
seems that after Mr.. Phelps went back
to his eastern home he got an $500
position for Peckman in the Pullman
Car company offices in Boston, and the
young man has been promoted five times
in. two years. Last month Mr.. Phelps
died, and a clause in his will was de-
voted to Peckman9 The latter was be-
queathed $500, and the will said that
the bequest "was made with the hope
that the news of it might go abroad and
be the cause of inspiring some OF the
thes1sands of ill-bred and uncouth en-
ployees about hotels to be polite and
considerate of old and enfeebled guests"

WONDERS OF COREA.
Freaks of Nature Whose Description Taxes

Corea, like the world of ancients has
its 'seyen wonders Briefly stated they
are as follows, says the North China Her
aid: First, hot mineral spring, near
Kin-Shantao, the healing properties of
which are believed by the people to be
miraculous. No omattcr what disease may
atilict the patient, dip in the water
proves etficacious. The second wonder is
two springs, situated al considerable
distance from each other, In fact, they
have the breadth OF the entire peninsula
between the.:. They have two peculiar
ities When one is full the other is al
ways empty, and, notwithstanding the
obvious fact that they are connected by
subterranean passage, one Is bitter and
the other pure and sweet. The third won
der is a cold wave cdve-a cavern from
which "a wintry wind perpetually blows.
The force of the wind from the cave is
such that strong man can not stand be-
fore it. A forest that can not be eradi.
Gated is the fourth wonder. No matter
what injury is done 10 the roots OF the
trees, which are large pines, they will
sprout up again directly, like the phoenix
from her ashes. The 18th is the famous
floating stone Ii stands, or seems to
stand, in front of the palace erected in his
honor. 1t IS an irregular cube of great
bulk. 1t appears to b, resting on the
ground, free from support on all sides;
but, strange to say, two men at opposite
ends of a rope may pass it under the stone
without encountering any obstacle what
ever. The sixth wonder is the 'hot
stone, which, from remote ages, has lain
glowing with heat on the tor of high
hill. The seventh and last Corean wonder
is "A drop of the sweat of Buddha. For
thirty PAGES around the temple in which it
