AMID the grief of friends and with
touching tenderness, the remains of one
of the most amiable, loving and charita-
BILE ladies'. OF our city were laid aside in
the narrow house yesterday. Mrs. E.
Bouton has brought herself very near to
the hearts Of our people by her sweet
character and lovely disposition. She
was one of those rare beings who are
born for kind and charitable deeds, and
to bring sunshine and cheerfulness into
homes that have fallen under the shadow
of adversely. AS one OF the founders
and chief officers of the Orphans Home,
she has been looked up to by the little
parentless waits as mother, and they
found in her gentle and responsive ma
ture a substitute for the dear one that
been denied them, 1t was a touching
sight to see these little ones place each
posy of flowers against the bier that
contained the mortal remains OF their
dead friend. Less than year ago Mrs.
Bouton's sister, the wife of Colonel e..
Wiley Wells, went out into the beyond,
and doubtless the grief of that parting,
for they had been very close and dear
to each other, hurried on the crisis which
eliminated in the unexpected death
of the noble woman whose premature
taking off we all deplore.

Mr.. UNRUH, the manager of E. ].
Ba1dwin's interests here, has sent in
report to the chamber of commerce
which will show that the orange indus
Try is capable of yielding profits that
:aurpass even the most generous claims
yet made for it by the Los Angeles press.
He says that seventy-five acre orchard
2t the santa Anita ranch yielded this
season $4,000 boxes, and that the gross
returns received from the same was
$1O4, 000-net returns $102,S95. There
WAS no fertilization used in this orchard,
and the outlay for cultivation, irriga-
tion and labor amounted to only $1105. !.
If there is anything in the shape of hor-
ticultu raj or agricultural enterprise that
can come up to this in results, we
should like to hear of it. Land that is
susceptible of producing such results
ought to be worth at least one years
income, and yet there are people who
denounce us when we claim that such
lands in the raw are well worth $1,000
an acre, although they are sold every
day for less than one-third that amount.

I That real estate is appreciating in
Los Angeles is shown by recent trans
action on Broadway and Fourth streets.
Although the transier has not yet been
placed on record, Mr.. Stinson has pur-
chased the southeast corner of Broad
way and Fourth, fronting 120 feet on
the former street and running back 165
feet on the latter, for $4S,0o0, making
500 front foot. This may not be an
exceptionally high price, but it shows
great vitality in real estate in that
quarter. 1t is said that this gentleman
is anxious to buy Mr.. Hellman's lot and
another lot adjoining, which would give
him q frontage of 240 feet on Broadway,
with the idea of erecting thereon a
magnificent hotel. Certainly Mr.. Slim
son thinks well Of Los Angeles real
estate. He is the gentleman who has
let the contract for the $l30,000 house
on Figueroa street, which, with its
$4,000 barn and other outbuildings,
viii amount to $780,

We met Major Toler rushing through
the dread heat of yesterday with heavy
package in his hand.
''You can't guess what I've got in that
paper?" said he, and he unfolded the
wrap.
'It looks like piece of shell that had
exploded" we replied.
NO." said he, "that is the fragment
of cannon ball that was fired from a
federal gun at Fort Pillow. 1t struck
me in the head"
"You don't mean to say that shot
that size struck you hard enough in the
head to split it in two and that you still
survive?"
"That's what" said he, land a few
years ago accidentally met the man
who fired it. OF course he didn't recog-
nize me, although he looked very
earnestly at me when he took dead aim
at my cabezea but we got talking and
comparing notes and the fact that he
was the shooter and the shootee came
to the surface"

THE Republican party has started in
to claim the good crops as due to the
Mckinley bill, the deficit in the treas
ury, the Bardsley defalcations, and
other Republican pecadillos. Unfor-
tunately for our Republican friends the
Alliance party is also in the field. and,
as it is made up largely of farmers,
mostly Republicans, and wants the
earth, it will undoubtedly file caveat
on the crops and blow its bazoo corre-
spondingly loud. While the two are con-
tending for the first claim on this inter-
position of Providence, the Democrats
will quietly take possession of the

THE CLIMATE ALL RIGHT.
The Colorado Desert Flood Not Rain
Maker.

Many people have been indulging
lately in all sorts of speculations about
the effect of the HERALD lake at Salton,
in the Colorado desert, on the climate.
The floods at Redlands and Campo, the
recent hot weather and the murky at
mosphere produced for several days,
have all been charged to the account of
the desert flood. There is absolutely no
foundation for any such assumption. A
HERALD reporter called on Observer
Franklin, of the local weather bureau,
yesterday, and asked him if his obser-
vations had detected any difference in
climatic conditions since the HERALD
fret announced the presence of the sea
at Salton. Mr.. Franklin replied that
there was nothing to indicate any
change. The humidity showed no diff
ference from similar seasons in other
years. The rains at Redlands and
Campo and other points, he said, were
not extraordinary, as the records show
that rain has fallen on rare occasions,
throughout Southern California, in
August. Of course, from such large
area of water, considerable moisture
would be absorbed by the atmosphere,
but there was nothing to indicate that it
had had any effect in this region. ~

only way / can account for it is that
my head was harder than the shot"
We had often heard the term applied
to certain class OF people as being
bullet-headed; but in this instance it
was worse. Here was man who could
with truth and propriety be termed
non-ball headed. Welooked at the iron
fragment and then at the head of our
friend, and remembered that year ago
he was thrown by a vicious horse that
had run away with him, out of his
buggy, and hurled with great mo-
mentum head first against a granite
curbstone. And we wondered why
he lay insensible for few days after
this notable accident, and why any of
the granite curbstone survived the
shock of contact with head that had
split cannon ball in two; and we
thought that if our friend had only been
gifted with the same induration of his
cheek how many times millionaire he
would have become during boom times.
We recollect a darkey once who was
famous for butting in the heads ,of beer
barrels; but we doubt whether he could
have survived the cannon-ball act as
well as our friend Major Tolef.

Cases on Trial Yesterday-COurt Notes.
A Number of New Com
plants Filed.

The examination of Justice of the
Peace N. A. Morris, of Lancaster, for as
sault with intent to commit murder,
which has been in progress before
Township Justice Stanton for the past
week, resulted yesterday in Morris being
held to answer before the superior
court. Attorney w. III. Shinn made a
long argument in favor of his client yes-
terday morning, and was followed by
Deputy District Attorney Diehl, who
closed the case for the people. The
court held that there appeared to be
sufficient evidence to justify his holding
the defendant to answer, in order that
jury might pass upon the merits of the
case. Morris's bonds, which had pre-
viously been fixed at $4,000 were reduced
to $4,000, and he was released in this
sum.
Although IRONY" Grain is still very
sick man, it is now believed that he
will recover. He has suffered the loss
OF finger or two on the left hand, and
several buckshot passed through his
lungs, but his strong constitution will
probably pull him through. Grain, it is
said, will kill Morris as soon as he is
able to attend to it, and there promises
to be lively times at Lancaster when he

The petition of Leonard Labory to be
appointed guardian of the person and
estate of Yndart, alias "Pancho Coro-
nel," an alleged incompetent, came up
before Judge Shaw in department two
yesterday. The petition has precipi-
tated bitter fight between the wife and
mother-in-law of Yndart on one side
and Don Antonio Coronel on the other,
and the granting of the petition is being
strenuously contested. Labory's petit
ton alleges that Yndart is being de-
prived of his liberty and kept from his
wife and family by his uncle, Don An
tonic Coronel, who is using undue in
huence over the young man, to the
detriment of his own interests. Yndart
is now suing his wife for divorce, and it
was the filing of the complaint in that
case which precipitated the present
phase of the quarrel. The hearing oi
the petition will be continued today.

THERE is now strong probability
that Seventh street will be widened its
entire length to eighty feet. The great
est objection to this improvement two
years ago came from the Unity church
people and the owner of the Norton
block. But as both these edifices have
been destroyed by fire, the objection
before urged to the widening of the
street would not be likely to interpose.
Seventh is the only street in Los Angeles
which reaches in direct apd continuous
line from the western to the eastern
boundary of the city, and if widened
it would afford a much-needed thorough
fare to the farmers who have to reach
the city from the west.
