POMONA, July 27.--A letter has been
received by a Pomona lady from her
friend, Nine. Modjeska, who was in Ber-
lin at the time the letter was written.
The madame writes that she and her
husband, the Count Bozenta, have made
plans for an extensive building at their
home in Santiago canon, near Santa Ana
in this vicinity. She intends to double
the size of her home, and says she has
gathered together large amount Of
bric-a-brac and tapestries for her house.
She also says that she and the count
will invest capital in orange and olive
orchards upon their return to Southern
California, and that they expect to en-
tertain more than ever before. Among
their guests next winter she expects
Joseph Jefferson and his daughter, and
William j. Florence and wife. The
madame says that she and her husband
are in fine health and have had glori-
GUS time among old friends and relatives
but that they are longing to return to
their California home. She says moth
ing about her future theatrical career,
but says that she has four grand-child-

NOT WORTH LIVING.
THAT WAS RETCaERT'S VERDICT AS
TO THE VALUE OF LIFE.
He Takes an Overdose of Morphine at
the Nadeau Hotel-Out of Funds and
Despondent-Formerly a Newspaper
Man. q

"Died from an overdose of morphine,
taken with suicidal INTENT was the
verdict rendered by the jury at the in
quest yesterday afternoon touching on
the death of George Reichert.
w. H. Burns, one of the proprietors
of the Nadeau hotel, testified that the
deceased came to the hotel and regis
tered under the name of G. Brauner,
from San Diego, and that he died at the
hotel at o'clock yesterday morning,
from an overdose of morphine.
Paul Kerkow testified that he knew
the deceased, and that his name was
George Reichert. He also testified that
the deceased was about 55 years old,
and native of Germany. Before COM
mitting suicide the deceased burnt
everything in his possession that would
60 to establish his identity.
The deceased came to Los Angeles a
few months ago as the representative Of
the fredericksburg Brewing company of
San Francisco. His friends state that
he has been despondent for some time,
and has threatened to commit suicide on
more than one occasion. He was very
we'll educated and was well known in
German circles among the better class.
Last evening man came from Santa
Ana here to take Reichert to his home.
He was surprised to learn that he had
committed suicide, although Reichert
had written his friend that he was tired
of life, being without friends and in poor
health.
Reichert is reported to have formerly
been connected with several German
papers in an editorial capacity.

lawyers Of their county combined. In
the face of the passage OF an act by the

TIE census bureau has issued bull
letin upon the number of farm and
homestead mortgages in the United
States. The enumerators have SO far
returned 2.491 $3.50 farms and homes oc-
cupied by owners, and which are incum-
bered with mortgages. The families of
the United States may be placed at 12,-
100000 so that nearly one-fourth of
them are living on mortgaged farms or
in incumbered homes. The total
amount of these home and farm mort
cages is $2,565, 100000. Although the
report is not yet complete, and there are
ennmerators yet to be heard from and
some who made no returns at all on the
subject, we can already see sufficient
reason in these figures. for thes great
nneasiness felt by the western farmers.
The average farm debt in Iowa reaches
the enormous sum of $1283! 1t is about
time the western farmer woke up to the
drift of the legislation of the party he
has 30 stoutly stuck to in the past. That
Legislation has not only overwhelmed
him with debt but placed him at the
mercy of all sorts of government-nursed
monopolies that are eating the lights
ont of him.

JosETTE CAUGHT.
The Eloping Little French Girl Found
at San Diego.

Josette Baison, the little French girl,
has been captured near San Diego.
This will not be a surprise to readers of
the HERALD, as it was stated in Mon
days paper, on the best of authority,
that the couple had left for San Diego
in the expectation of getting a. minister
to marry them at Tia Juana. 1t will be
remembered that the young couple ap-
piled to well-known attorney of this
city, and that after stating the case, he
recommended them to go to Tia Juana,
which they did, as exclusively stated in
the HERALD. The following dispatch
was received at the HERALD Office last
night:
On the 18th Josette Baison, a pretty
French girl eloped from San Francisco
with Pierre Cantou, waiter. The po-
lice were at once notified by Mrs. De
Villemeuir, Jossette's aunt, and the
wires have been kept hot ever since
telegraphing for the runaways. Detec-
tive James Russell, OF this city, has
been watching the case and yesterday
afternoon heard of young lady inquir-
ing at different hotels for Cantou. Rus
sell and his assistant detective, Joe
Williams. at once set to work,
and after severa! hours hard
work, Williams located the girl in the
house OF French family about three
miles from the city. 1t was nearly mid
night when the detectives reached the
house. The girl was very much sur
prised, but took the matter very coolly.
She said she lett her. aunt's home be-
cause she was mistreated and that there
had been nothing. wrong between her
and Canton. In order TO dodge the Los
Angeles police, the couple had separated,
Cantou coming ahead to this city. Rus
sell wired Chief Crowley OF the arrest,
who replied to hold the girl for instruc-
tions. Cantou has not been located.

SAID de Balzac to a party of his ad-

his honor at time when his relations
with his banker had become very much
strained, "How much will the monu-
ment cost ?'' "About eighty thousand
francs," he was told. "Well let me
havs ten Thousand and will stand on
the pedestal myself" We think this
inRscdote has an application to the effort
ot the city council to retrench the pub

the city are somewhat strained, and un-
der such circumstances chiefs of bu.

OTTO'S DIVORCE.
THE HERO OF THE BURBANK
ELOPEMENT-ANoT CHAPTER.
Kieslich in Bismark Getting Divorce
From His Wife-Preparing tor Another
Phase of the Carhart Romance.

Otto Kieslich, a Hollander, some time
last winter created big stir in this
county by eloping with Miss Mary Car
hart, of Burbank. The elopers were
captured before they had chance to
get married. There was probably
another reason why the marriage did
not take place. Kieslich already had a
wife in New York. This was a great
bar, especially as when Mrs. Kies-
Itch heard about her husband g
escapade she vowed that she
would never allow him to get a di-
vorce. Miss Carhart. was captivated
with Kieslich, who was foreman on her
mothers rach at Burbank, and stamped
her little foot and said that she would
marry him in spite OF anybody. 1t has
been case of diamond cut diamond.
Mis-. Carhart and Mrs. Kieslich are
arrayed on one side, against Miss Car
hart and Kieslich on the other.
= The departure of Kieslich for the
east was noted in the HERALD.
Mics Carhart also went east about
the same time. So far they have not
succeeded in enticing Mrs. Kieslich to
allow her husband divorce, but after
all, the chances are that Kieslich will
wed the rich heiress. Mrs. Kieslich, it
is learned from New York paper, has
received information that her eriing
husband is in Bismarck, Dakota, and
has instituted divorce proceed
ings already. The ex-Burbank
man will be surprised to hear
that his whereabouts is known in Los
Angeles. 1t is supposed that he select
ed Bismarck because six months resi-
dence in North Dakota entities man
to divorce. If this is so, Mr.. Kieslich
was wise in selecting the new state of
Dakota for his temporary home, though
it is more than probable that Mrs. Kies-
Itch will, with Mrs. Carhart, fight the
case to the bitter end.

WE NOTED the fact a short time sine

WE NOTED the fact short time since
that the Chinese were embarking largely
in the fruit-packing and canning busi-
mess. American Gamers initiated
Chinese cheap labor into all the myste-
Ties of their business, and now the latter
win take advantage OF the knowledge
it has gained to enter the fruit-packing
Geld backed up by the wealthy Chinese
companies. The result will doubtless
be the same as it has been in all other
trades the Mongolians have. entered,
they will soon work out the white pack
ers, and have the business to them
selves. The early vegetable rails
srs Of Cahuenga are now COM
planning loudly about the in
roads the Chinese are making against
them. It seems that land owners in chat
warm belt are in the habit of leasing
tracts to the Mongolians, and when
their products are ready for market they
place them on it at much cheaper
price than the white cultivators can
afford to sell for. They have thus made
the San Francisco market, which used
to be the main dependence of the Ca
huengs early vegetable raisers, SO cheap
that there is no money in it for white
men, who cannot cultivate their land
in competition with the Chinese. This
nompetition has become so serious that
xhe white cultivators are trying to de-
vise some means to induce Ca
1nenga land owners to refuse to
rent to Cinnamon. But how this
desirable point can be successfully
reached, it is difficult to see. Land
oRners will rent their land to those who
win pay the highest rent, and the Chi
1aman can afford to pay a great deal
moro than the white man. It is the old
question with which Californiens have
been struggling for thirty odd years.

Undoubtedly the fuel question is in
the course OF easy solution in Los An

the fluid article, and the completion OF

ton, we shall prefer it to the artificial
