FROM SANTA ROSA.
Preparations Being Made for the
Native Sons.

Editor Morning Call: OF course Santa
Rosa is all agog with pleasurabe anticipa-
ton over the Grand Parlor meeting Of the
Native Sons of the Golden West that comes
off here next week, beginning April 9th.
The members of the home paT1or have done
nobly in planning for hospitable welcome
for the gallant Sons, and the citizens have
ably seconded their efforts. The business
houses are all being decorated profusely
and the bear and national flags struggle
with the Native Son flags for supremacy
on many housetop
The programme of entertainment for the
visiting delegates. as marked out by the
local parlor, embraces a reception and hop
at Ridgeway Hall, Monday evening, April
9th, open-air concerts Tuesday afternoon
and evening, grand ball in the Athenaum
Wednesday evening, banquet Friday even
ing in the Athenaum. This does not in
clude the Grand Parlor meetings and the
many favors the delegates will receive in
the way of smaller social affairs, drives re-
ctptions, games, etc. Owing to the inability
of the Independence Band Of Mare Island to
be here the Park Band of San Francisco has
been engaged. Tie Native Daughters will
ioin the Sons in eudeavoring to make the
week an eventful one here and the prospects
for a happy conSummatlon are most encour-
aging.
Santa Rosa gossips have sweet morsel
TO roll under their tongues in the shape OF a
suit that has been brought by one of the
most highly respected ladies in town against
her lord for divorce, on the old, old ground
of infdelity to the marriage VOWS. The de-
PENDANT has been prominent business man
here for many years, and Is possessed OF
great wealth. 1t is claimed that his VIE is
sure to win her casesand get one-half OF his
property. The case Is going through the
court in the 'air-tight' way, but as usual
in such matters there are no judicial doors
so well closed but that the fragrance OF the
facts will leak out, and the attempt to con-
ceal the truth lends additional mystery 10
the matter, and only serves TO spur the talk
erS ON in their desire to spread the scandal.
Two blOods from San Francisco engaged
in the highly intellectual advertisement of
smashing up all of the furniture and bed
ding of their room in the OCCIDENTAL
Hotel here last Saturday evening. Next
day when they went to pay their bill the
proprietor tackled on an additional $40 They
grew very indignant and informed him that
he could go somewhere else for his pay.
He then swore out warrant and had them
both arrested Tor malicious mischief Each
put up $40 to appear for trial Monday, but
when Monday came they appeared not, and
so both lost their money, though the hotel
man is out the cost of a tirSt-claSs bed.
