Cheval mirrors in old English 10th century
and antique, for $35. Splendid S35 sets for $40
and $25. Candidly have you ever before seen
such good goods sold so cheap? 1t astonishes
everyone. The dealers come to look at them
expecting to scoff, but go away wondering how
il can be done. lifetime may not see another
such display at such prices the goods are so
rich and the prices so low
Then in baby buggies we have struck good
thing way below regular prices. Here is an
item of interest to you about baby buggies and
the same idea will follow in other goods. Not
getting secondhand buggies fast enough to
supply our trade, sometime since we bought
some buggies regular and marked them at
prices other dealers get for such goods. AS peo
pie expect to get goods cheaper at Red Rice's
than elsewhere, the result was that the buggies
did not SELL People said, Oh, can get those
and are bound by pledge not to sell them less
than such price We will probably have them
next year. That plan don't suit us. All things
come to those who can wait. job lot of baby
carriages came to us to buy; we got them at a
bargain. They are just made, the newest and
prettiest patterns you ever saw. Now you can
save about one third in baby's buggy by buying
1t at Red Rice's.
This is the season of the year when the ham
mock gives deal of pleasure We will sell
you new hammecks of the best make for $3.50.
Lots of that mating selling at zoe yard.
Why shouldn't it, when it is as good as others
sell for soc? Some people take the 15c mating,
but we don't recommend 1t.
All kinds OF furniture and household goods,
such as crockery, tinware tools, hardware,
stoves, ironware, yea and pianos-square pi-
amos, grand pianos and upright pianos-all
going at Red Rices prices cheap, cheap for
cash. Are you, yes, are you in want OF an out
fit for filling honey cans? or billiard table, or
a smiths blower, or an ice box, or a counter, or
some nice triple-pla knives and forks and
spoons new and of the best? There are SO
many good things it would take this entire page
to barely mention all, all, and SO much more to
be had at Red Rice's and when found there the
prices to be right, that is, less than you
can get the same goods for elsewhere. Square
dealing has won Red Rice's place towards the

TRIED HANGING.
The Rope Broke and He was Fined Two
Dollars for Being Boozy-He will not
Marry Again, Having Tried it Twice.

"That's the last time / will ever get
married." sadly remarked G. H. Walters
to HERALD reporter yesterday after
noon.
elbow many times have you been
married." asked the reporter.
"That was my second venture, and it
was disastrous one from the start. My
wife liked beer too well. But Jack
Ferris, the fellow she skipped out with,
is rarely ever sober They're good
pair and will make team hard to beat.
l don't care snap of the finger, only she
has taken all my clothes with her."
G. II. Walters talked in similar
strain for twenty minutes. Mr.. and Mrs.
Walters until yesterday lived on Jackson
near Center street. Friday morning
Walters returned home and was dis
mayed to find that his wife was getting
ready to leave for parts unknown with
another man. She was even dickering
with secondhand man for the sale OF
the furniture. Walters did not get mad
when he made the awful discovery, but
he repaired to the nearest saloon and

ful. The liquor nerved up Walters to
return home. He entered the house
and soliloquized after this fashion:
''To think that my wife should love
another. 1t is awful. What shall l
do? Methinks / will make her regret
her foolish attachment. will kill my
self"
A few minutes later the neighbors
were astonished to learn that Walters
had attempted to hang himself, but
that he had been frustrated in the at
tempt. The police were notified and
Officer Horne arrested the unhappy
husband for being drunk. Yesterday
Judge Austin fined him 50, but suspended
sentence until Monday.
Mrs. Walters made hay while the sun
was shining, for when Walters got out
yesterday afternoon he found an empty
house. His wife had sold the furniture
for $5 and there was nothing left except
the growler. Mrs. Walters was seen
leaving the house with Ferris.
"The scoundrel," said Walters. He
has wife and five children in Oakland,
but wouldn't care fig if had my

Walters will not embrace matrimony

The second floor is given up to the
courts Judge Shaw, having obtained
first choice when the lots were drawn,
selected the northeast corner OF the
building. Judge Clark selected the
northwest corner, Judge Van Dyke the
southeast and Judge Smith the south
west. AS stated before, Judge McKin-
ley's department will be placed in the
rotunda, the highest and airiest room on
the floor, but not so large as the other
courtroom. At each end OF the hallway
on this floor large spaces have been kept
for the judges chambers, which will be
fitted up sumptuously. Each court room
will have a gallery for spectators, and
the ventilation will be helped by patent
steam radiators.
The county has agreed to give up the
old court house by July l, but it is al
most certain that it will be at least a
month later before all OF the occupants
of the building will be ready to vacate.
The contractor for the furniture of the
new building has been delayed in get
ting his material from the east, and il
may be the 1st of September before the
new building is completely occupied,
Work is being rushed, however. so that
as many offices as possible may be ready
for occupancy by July 1st.

be Occupied.

The Officials viii Move on the First

A Detailed Statement of the Arrange
ments-One Superior Judge Left
Out--Convenient Offices.

The "boys" in the county clerks Of
fee will have to run the gauntlet OF
Mr.. 7. H. Wards inquiring glances,
whenever they step out for refreshments
after the change is made into the new
courthouse, and that is why they spend
all their spare time these days kicking.
The boss has fixed a gilded cage for his
office deputies in the new building, the
only entrance to which is through his
own private apartments. Whether by
design or accident, this will subject
every man to scrutiny as he passes in
and out of the office, and the accom-
plished county clerk will thus be able to
keep mental tab on the movements OF
his men which will, perhaps, operate to
shut off great deal of soldering. This
is the only objection the deputy clerks
can find to their handsome new quar-
ters.
As the time for the removal of all the
county officers into the castle on the
hill approaches, few words with regard
to the location OF their respective quar-
ters may be OF interest. There has
been scramble for the best locations
and largest rooms in the new court
house, almost from the time the plans
were first drawn, and all is not settled
vet. number of changes have been
made by the supervisors from their ORR
ginal ideas, and it is probable that there
will be others up to the time that the
last inch of space is occupied. As it is
arranged now, there will be room for
only five superior judges in
the building and the sixth
department will have to seek
quarters outside. The judges on
the superior bench drew lots for the four
court rooms on the second floor, and
Judges Shaw, Clark, Smith and Van
Dyke got first choice. Then Judge Nc
Kinley asked the supervisors to fit up
the rotunda on the same floor, which
had been designed for law library, for
his department. and this is now being
DONE AS to Judge Wade, he does not
appear to be in it. The supervisors at
some future day expect to finish off the
third floor, and in the meanwhile de-
partment three will have to occupy
quarters outside of the building.
The accompanying diagrams will give
pretty clear idea of the location of the
offices of the different departments.

SHAM REPUBLICS.

The various presidents of Central and
South American republics seem to have
a curious notion of their functions, but
they are very practical withal. Guate-
mala has rejoiced in executives with
special aptitudes to capture the nimble
dollar. Before President Barrios was
killed he had had the business precau-
tion to Send three or four millions of
dollars to New York city, and his widow
and family are now living in splendor in
grand palace on Fifth avenue in Goth
am. The present president of the repub-
lie, Barrillas, seems to be no whit be-
hind his predecessor. He is credited
with having pocketed cool million
and quarter in refunding the debt OF
Guatemala. The taxpayers there
groan, but they are too we'll acquainted
with the peremptory methods of such
men as Barrios and Barrillas to make
their protests very loud. Dropping
down to Chile, Balmaceda, who seems
to stand we'll with the United States
at least with the authorities at Wash
ingron-is about as big tyrant as one
often hears of even in that country pro-
life in such creatures. The fiction OF
republic in these countries is highly
amusing. DIR. Francia and Lopez are
the models on which they are all found
ed. Going from the mainland, and
striking the so-called republic of Hayti,
one finds in Hippolyte tyrant who
could give points to Nero in ferocity and
disregard of all law human and divine.
1t is somewhat astonishing that the
United States and other civilized gov
ernments permit this monster to murder
on the wholesale and bully their repre-
sentatives. The German minister seems
to have been the only member of the
diplomatic body that has dared to talk
to the tyrant Hippolyte with anything
like frmness. By all accounts Minister
Douglass, who represents the United
States, allowed himself to be COM
pletely terrorized by the Haytien des-
pot. There is about as much genuine
spirit of republicanism in the Span
ish-speaking republics of Central
and South America as there is
blood in turnip or milk
in a stone Just about the time the
world had begun to make up its mind
that Chile at least was about toprove an
exception to the rule that all the repub-
lies to the south of us were despotisms
masquerading in the coloIs of liberty,
Balmaceda dispelled the hope. The
chances of anything like profitable
reciprocity with these countries are faint
indeed, and the constant turmoil which
prevails in them makes Mr.. Blaine's
project OF railway starting at the line
of the United States and traversing the
countries which lie between our borders
and the Straits of Magellan. ridicu-
lous in the extreme. Mexico is the one
exception where stability and quiet
reign, and that she is at last quiescent
is due to the iron will and uncommon
sagacity of Porfirio Diaz, who is really
the absolute master of that country,
but who seems to have some fine in
stincts of civilization. What would
happen there should his strong hand be
taken from the helm of state it would
be hard to conjecture.

SUNDAY, JUNE s1, 1891.
QUICK GROWTH IN PRODUCTION.

The attention of the up country press
is at last being attracted to the pro-
digious potato crop of Southern Cali
fornia, which is estimated to be so large
that it would require %, 800 cars to carry
it away. This enormous production OF
this popular tuber is striking COM
mentary on the worth of the statistics
of Robert p. Porter's census, which
placed the amount of land devoted to
spuds at trifie over five hundred acres
for the three states of Washington, Or
egon and California. 1t is estimated
that, at present prices, the potato crop
alone of Southern California would yield
$3,000,0O0. OF course such prices are
not to be expected, but the advantages
possessed by the people of Los Angeles
county, for instance, for growing pota-
toes are not to be exaggerated. There
is no difficulty in raising two crops
yearly hereabouts, and these can
be followed by one of beans,
all in the same twelvemonth. There
are few countries in the world
of which as much can be said. Both of
these crops can be so alternated as to
bring high prices. The early potatoes
of the spring will find no rivals; while,
when the eastern people discover that
the delicious new potato can be fur
nished them in the fall, there will be
no lack of demand. The business of
supplying the states and territories to
the east of us with early spring and
winter vegetables is soon destined to at
tain mammoth proportions, and it is
doubtful whether even our fruit inter-
ests will exceed it in value. The change
which has come over Los Angeles from
producing point of view could not be
better illustrated than by the fact
that, three years ago, potatoes
were coming into this city by the car
load and train load, while we are now
shipping great quantities of the tuber
to Kansas and adjoining states, the
points from which we drew our former
supply. Cabbages, cauliflowers, fresh
tomatoes and immense quantities oi
other vegetables, are also being shipped
to the east, a single Italian gardener in
the neighborhood of Downey City hav-
ing supplied by contract ninety carloads
of cabbages and twenty-five carloads OF
caulihowers for the eastern market this
year. This is a new industry, but it is
advancing even more rapidly than our
fruit production.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-06-21

IT is fine instance of retributive po-
litical justice that Wanamaker, who be-
came member of President Harrison IS
cabinet through his having been instru-
mental in the raising of animmense cor
ruption fund to buy the presidential
election of 1888, should be pilloried in
the eye of the public in connection
with the rotten keystone bank of Phil
adelphia. There is quite general be-
lief in well-informed circles in tie east
that United States Comptroller Lacey
and Bank Examiner Drew were both
used to screen the Keystone bank until
Wanamaker and his friends were able
to get their money out of its vaults.
1t was allowed to remain open
months after its utter rottenness
was known to the officials of
the United States government whose
duty it is to see that depositors are pro-
tected. The people of Philadelphia be-
lieve that Mr.. Wanamaker used his
high influence in the administration of
tue United States to gain undue advan-
tage for himself and his cronies. Presi-
dent Harrison affects to be very anxious
to have the affair ventilated, and it is
to be hoped that he is in earnest. The
postmaster-general is a smooth citizen,
but it would not be surprising if the
time had at last arrived to run him into
his hole.

THE Mansfield oil we'll, In the western
portion of the city, is making pleasant
record for its owners. The oil is of a
fine lubricating quality, and quite valua-
BILE. The present yield is reported at
twenty barrels daily. The Temple
street well is also showing up in good
shape. There is little room for doubt
that the city of Los Angeles is under
laid by immense deposits of petroleum,
and all that is needed to bring it to the
surface is to 60 to sufficient depths. Mr..
Porter's census makes the production OF
petroleum for the state of California in
1889, in barrels of forty-two gallons
measure, 147 ,027, of which 2,160 bar
rels were illuminating oil and 144,-
S67 were grouped as fuel. Lubri-
eating oil does not figure in the
report. This exhibit is doubtless as in
accurate as many others which have
been pointed out in the HERALD. The
yield of petroleum has increased enor-
mously during the past eighteen months,
owing to the exploitation Of the Sespe
and other measures in Ventura county
and the Puente and Pico districts OF Los
Angeles county. The proper energy
and capital will undoubtedly in time
bring the California yield up to some

THERE is something that is calculated
to take ones breath away in the propo-
sition that the city of Los Angeles has
been paying the superintendent of jan
itors of the city schools $115 month.
What need is there of such an official at
any price? Jobbery is written all over
such leak in the city treasury. Why
have superintendent of janitors at all ?
Why could not the teachers .of the sew
eral schools give instructions to janitors
and report them if they are neglecting
