GOOD TEMPLARS.
Meeting of the Los Angeles District
Lodge at Redondo.

Meeting of the Los Angeles District
Lodge at Redondo.
The district lodge of Los Angeles
county of the Independent Order of
Good Templars was opened at Redondo
on Saturday morning last, at II a. m.
The attendance was very large, sixteen
out of the twenty lodges in the county
being represented. 1t was doubtless
the largest gathering of Good Templars
ever seen in Southern California.
The first order of business was the
conferring of the district lodge degree on
some forty candidates from the subor-
dinate lodges, after which an adjourn
ment was taken for dinner and to give
the visitors chance to enjoy them
selves.
The afternoon session was called to
order at 2 p. m. The district lodge by
vote at once proceeded to elect officers
for the current year. There was an ex-
citing contest oyer the office of district
were counted Il was found that Albert
p Shewman. of Good Will lodge. Los

ance on Stringed instrument.

e~AAS~ va - SsAhA6Cd AASbl uiuClbs
If ever man deserved special atten-
tion for mysterious and wonderful per-
formances, then it is Prof. Ferguson, the
great violin specialist and imitator. 1t
is scarcely credible that it should be
possible to initiate the religious strains
of a church organ, the sweet music of the
violincello, the soft sounds of the guitar
and the noise of full brass band on a
plain and simple VIOLIN yet this is not
the limit OF Prof. Ferguson's capabilities.
He will make his audience believe that
they hear the harsh sound coming from
a sawmill the next moment a man is
made to think that the engine of a pas
senger train is set in motion and is
reaching her full speed. Again Mr..
Ferguson will hold his listeners in
breathless silence by his surprising
whistling performance. Among other
funny and eccentric things is his rendi-
ton of hog eating slop, which has al
ways caused peals of laughter and great
merriment wherever it was performed.
Mr.. Valentine Huber, the popular and
gentlemanly proprietor of the Original
Vienna Buffet, corner Main and Requena
streets, in his untiring efforts to please
his patrons, has secured this great artist
as an addition to his excellent concert
programme. Besides Prof. Ferguson,
who is the principal attraction
for this week, commencing tonight,
| is Miss Lulu Martell, the charming
songstress; Miss Fanny Darlington, the
graceful danseuse; Mr.. Billy McCollum,
the famous Irish comedian, and the
Hungarian Ladies' orchestra, under the
direction of Miss Emma Feykert. This
highly selected programme makes all
further comment unnecessary. No ad-
mission fee is charged at the Original
Vienna Buffet and everybody is in
vited. Special attention is paid to
ladies with their escorts, and elegant
private rooms are at their disposal.
Come there tonight and spend pleas
ant evening at this charming and pop
ular resort, where everything is to be
found to delight the soul and refresh
the body. Do not make mistake in
the location, and observe that the
Vienna Buffet is on the corner of Main
and Requena streets.

ADJUSTMENTS.
THE LycEUM COMPANY.

On its first production two years ago
in New York, The Charity Ball, which
is to begin the Lyceum company's en-
gagement here this week, was spoken OF
by the New York Herald as "the best of
the plays by the authors of The Wife.
There is not dull line in the whole
play, and it contains many dramatic sit
uations that rise to greatness. Miss
Cayvan has never been seen to better
advantage than as Ann Cruger, and was
never more womanly and more thor
oughly artistic. Mr.. Kelcey was equally
interesting as the rector, John Van
Buren," OF its recent production in San
Francisco, the Examiner said "The
play made good impression and the
company scored brilliant success. The
Lyceum company has no successful rival
for popularity in San Francisco"
In The Idler, the second play which
the Lyceum company gives here, the
New York Herald said last November
'sThe situations are strong, the dialogue
neat, terse and telling. 1t is the strong
est work the Lyceum company have yet
DONE" The San Francisco Examiner of
July 21st, says 1.-The Idler is strong
society melodrama of excellent construc-
ton, with original ideas and amusing
comedy. 1t is decidedly the most dram
attic work the Lyceum company have
presented here"
OF Old Heads and Young Hearts, the
third novelty which the Lyceum COM
pany offers, the New York Herald OF
April 7th says: cit was an interesting re-
vival of an old comedy made striking by
the old-tlme costumes The Examiner
of San Francisco said July 2Sth /:
Georgia Cayvan was treat, and if any
one ever had doubt of her ability as
an actress, they should see her in the
part of Lady Alice"
The order OF the plays here will be
The Charity Ball, Tuesday and Wednes-
day and Saturday matinee; The Idler,
Thursday and Friday, and Old Heads
aud Young Hearts, Saturday night.

APPALLING CLoUDBURST.
buchanan County. NO., visited By Ter

buchanan County, Mo-, Visited By n Ter
rifle Rainstorm.
ST. JosEPH, Mo-, Aug. t9-An awful
cloudburst occurred at an early hour
Sunday morning few miles northwest
of Easton, buchanan county. Water
fell in torrents, turning fields into lakes
and small gullies into rivers. The
clouldburst followed the heavy rain of
Saturday night. These rains were very
heavy, and caused the Platte and One
Hundred and Two rivers to rise TO
considerable extent The terrible fall
Of water that accompanied the burst
ing of the cloud caused these TO over
flow their banks, and the Platte river
valley, from Oakland mills to the north
and east for n distance of many miles,
was one mighty sea of water. Farmers
left their beds Mt O'Clock in the
morning, and spent the entire day
in moving their families and
stock to places of safety The
Platte river rose 90 feet In
ten hours, and the One Hundred and
Two river, which is really a creek, was
in many places forty feet deep. So far
as known no lives have been lost al
though many narrow escapes have been
reported. Damages TO crops and loss OF
stock are appalling. Dozens of farmers
have lost all of their stock, their crops
are completely ruined, and their barns
and farm implements washed away.
The cloudburst in the vicinity of East
on made matters worse there, but 9TH
er localities suffered nearly as bad
The Bee creek valley, near Matney,
was deluged, washing away wagon and
railroad bridges At San Antonio and
Agency, also in buchanan county,
much damage was done. At Agency
John Highlands barn, valued at 81, 500,
was struck by lightning and burned
The barn of +, Powell, at Agency, was
also burned. In St Joseph the storm
was comparatively mild.

What May Occur Depending on the Course
of the Republican Convention.
CHICAGO, Aug. ls.-A special TO the
Tribune from Cape May, n. j., says:
President Harrison, through Private
Secretary Elalford, Saturday, denied
the story that he is about to declare
over his own signature that he will re-
fuse TO be candidate for renomina-
tion. The president replied in his
usual manner that he would not dis
cuss newspaper rumors. The vigor
with which Mr.. Harrison's answer was
given made II quite apparent that no
such letter will be written. Mr. Ilar-
rison's friends say that while the
president is not chasing after n nomina-
tion he desires denomination. His
suburdinates are doing the work while
he looks on and notes the effect Sec
retary Tracy and Attorney-Gen. Miller,
who were here some days ago, are at
present doing some good work in Mr..
Harrison's interest They have recent
ly approached congressman and other
prominent and influential politicians
relative to sending their respective del
egations to the national republican
convention next year. This is not hear
say. The statement is based on strong,
substantial facts These two cabinet
officers are now engaged in preparing a
slate to suit their chief, and through their
com bined efforts, it is said, the Maryland
delegation has already been Piled ged to
Harrison, Secretary Tracy and Con
gresham Mudd, of Maryland, having
arranged affairs to their entire salts
faction. The president has not writ
ten any letter declining to permit his
name to come before the national con
vention, but II is said that there exists
an implied understanding between Mr.
Harrison and Secretary Blaine TO the
effect that one of them will decline In
advance should the other develop the
greater strength
