The TRUCK Stuck twice.

The great carriage for the ten inch
gun at Fort Preble, as stated in Satur-
days PRESS, was given to Freeman, the
truckman, to handle on his truck from
this city to Fort Preble, Saturday. When
the team, drawn by ten immense horses,
reached Portland bridge, the truck broke
through, and heavy planks had to be
obtained from this city by means of
which the truck was got on it's way
again. When Pickett street, South Port
land, was reached, the team stuck again.
Today extra horses will be secured and
the carriage taken into the fort.

A Great Big Bluff.


GA few years ago a bully known as
Big Nike was the terror of southern
Wisconsin, !" said Patrick O'Farrell. "Big
Mike was monarch of all he surveyed,
and his rights there was none to dis
pute. GAINESVILLE, Beloit and Waukesha
were his favorite haunts. He was al
ways spelling for fight, and as he
stood feet inches and was put up like
a Hercules nobody cared to accommo-
date him, and, like Arkansaw in Mark
Twain's o'ertrue tale, he Travelled chiefly
on his bluff and bad looks.
"One night Mike was in Waukesha
saloon kept by German with the patri-
otto name of Yankee. Mike was hungry
for trouble. He insulted everybody
present, imposed on the bartender and
made himself disagreeable nuisance
generally. Presently tall, gaunt, con-
sumptive looking chap drifted in. He
looked as though good stiff breeze
would blow him away. He lounged up
to the bar, and in voice sweet and
deferential as that Of bashful school
girl called for soda. Mike staggered
up to him and announced his intention
to drink at the strangers expense. The
latter paid no attention to him. Mike
became abusive. He followed him
about the room cursing him and making
pugilistic demonstrations.
''Finally the consumptive looking
stranger turned and sweetly said: My
Christian friend. you appear to be yearn-
ing for thrashing. Be kind enough to
give me your address and / will send
you home to your family when | get
through with YOU He handed Mike a
notebook and pencil and carefully re-
moved his coat. The cool audacity Of
the stranger paralyzed Mike. He tried
to crawfsh, but the stranger wouldn't
have it.
"'Ive heard of you for two years
past, and I came to Waukesha especially
to whip the insolence out of you,' he
said, and right here we mix
"But they didn't. Mike made break
for the door and has not been in Wan
kesha since. 1t was a. beautiful bluff.
The thin stranger could not have hurt
him with a hammer He died two
weeks later of consumption. = Chicago

EXCURSION to montreal and Quebec.

The popular excursion to Montreal and
Quebec tomorrow, leaving at $50 p. M,
via Maine Central and the Worlds Fair
line, promises to be a grand success. The
very best people take in this one as it is
the only way to see the White Noun
tains; and another grand feature is that
it is personally conducted through to
Canada by Mr.. WA. Kimball, Maine Cen
trail excursion agent. Sleeping cars are
fast selling; if you are in it call at Union
station at once and book for sleeper.

The stockbridge Courses.

AAO 0toohpAANSo OOeAASoSs
Now is the time to apply at Stock
BRIDGES for tickets for the two courses
of entertainments that will be given this
autumn and the coming winter. The list
of attractions is something remarkable.
The Lady Minstrels from Boston have
created furore there and do not allow
any one to know who they are. They
appear only for charitable purposes, the
net receipts always going to some chart
ty designated by them. In the Strak-
osch Opera Company, the boy Patti, or
young Tyler, which is his real name,
has created great furore in New York,
not only for his phenomenal soprano
voice, but for the perfection of his
method and thoroughness of his train
ing. Get seats for the courses at once.
Eva Fay.
Miss Fay is positively the only lady in
the world who has the endorsement of
the Royal Society of London, England,
they having for three months tested her
in every conceivable way that human
ingenuity could suggest. and at the fin
ish OF this investigation, presenting her
with parchment certificate to the effect
that the illustrations given in their pres
ence were beyond human aid. Such sci
entists as Professor Crooks, Huxley, Tin
dali, Sargent. Cox and others endorse
her. Some claimed odic force, some
electricity or animal magnetism, and
still others supernatural powers. Forms,
hands and faces will be seen SO plainly
as to be recognized by persons in the
audience. She will be seen tonight at
Portland Theatre.
Mr. Potter of Texas.
Our citizens must not miss the per-
Torrance of Mr.. Gunter's play, ''Mr.
Potter of Texas at Portland Theatre,
tomorrow and Wednesday evenings. The
play has had great run in New York
and the actors who will assume the va
rious characters are well recommended.
Those who saw ''Mr Barnes of New
York" given last season will remember
what an admirable programme it was.
Be sure and get seats today or tomorrow
for this most admirable entertainment
"Pert'' will be produced at Portland
Theatre, Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day by company under the manage
ment of Mr.. AL. Haynes and which en-
braces many actors who made lots of
friends at Peaks Island the past sum-
mer. With the company is Cyrene, the

at City Hall few weeks ago with the
Stockbridge management. Get seats

This is a Democratic year, and 1t Will
be signalized by any number OF pleasant
things. Not the least of these Will be
the New Years edition Of the HERALD.
This publication will contain an ex-
haustive resume OF the events OF
the past year, and will be scat
tered broadcast over tie United
states. No doubt our patrons will, as in
the past, extend generous support to
this issue, of which an unusually large
number of copies will be printed. Its
letter press will be devoted to accurate
descriptions Of the city and county OF
Los Angeles and their leading indus
tries, and its advertising columns will
tell of the development of business In
our midst. The merchants and busi'
ness men OF the city will be interviewed
by our solicitors, and we are confident
that they will respond literally. 1t
will simply be bread cast upon the
waters, which will return before the
lapse of many days.

On FRIDAY last, when the counc

On FRIDAY last, when the council
passed the Cudahy resolution to locate
an ancient and hog-like stencil within
the city limits, Councilman Nickel
voted for it in order to be able to move a
reconsideration. He then moved re-
consideration and moved to make it the
special order for the following Tuesday,
December 9th. A motion to lay the
recommendation on the table was then
made and carried. On Tuesday, MIR.
Nickel, finding that it required a two
thirds vote to take his motion from the
table, reluctantly abandoned his en-
deavor. But that does not detract from
the value of his eNdeavors in behalf of
keeping up the good name of Los An
geles as the healtbiest of American
cities. Major Bonsall, president OF the
council, is also entitled to credit for his
efforts to keep out OF the city limits an
undesirable class of manufactures.

TIE great wharf of the Southern
Pacific railway above the old Santa
Monica cafion is making rapid headway,
and it has about reached the point
where the 7 will be begun. From that
point forward the structure will be
1876 feet wide. Che total length
of the wharf will be $500 feet.
Every one who goes down to take
look at the structure is impressed by
the great solidity and durability which
characterize it. From this time onwsrd
there will be seven pile drivers at work,
and the progress will be rapid, although
when the great width of the wharf is
considered we may not be able to
chronicle the completion of such large
number of bents. It is undoubtedly
the intention of the company to do an
immense business there. All the coal
and other heavy supplies for the South
ern Pacific railway and it's various
branches will be landed at this point,
and considerable transcontinental
business will also be done there.

THE Turk evidently believes in carry
ing the war into Africa. An Islamic
propaganda has begun in the United
States which aims to convert our people
to the tenets of Mohammed. What
progress the scheme may meet with it is
hard to say. Brigham Young and his
Mormon hierarchy have undoubtedly
been ahead of the Moslem proselytizer.
Mohammed allowed four wives, while
Brigham himself had forty. The propa-
ganda is handicapped by the difficulty
of maintaining one wife in the United
States. A man who should start out to
exemplify the Mohammedan ideas OF
polygamy would shortly find himself in
the penitentiary. This is the year of all
kinds Of fsnts5tioal fads, 60 that when
we are assured that large sums of money
are being subscribed in Mohammedsn
countries to insure the spread OF Islam
ism throughout the United States, there
is no special ground for wonder. a

THE CROPS.

Report of Their Condition for the
Week.
Observer Franklin of the weather
bureau furnishes the following report OF
the condition of the crops throughout
Southern California for the past week.
VENTURA COUNTY.
Hueneme-The rainfall of the 23d
and Oath insts, amounting to 500
inches, was beneficial to farmers, but re-
tarded corn shelling.
Bardsdale-Four and three-fourths
inches of rain fell Saturday and Sunday,
making the total for the season 15 25
inches. The outlook for crops and tree
setting is excellent.
LOS ANGELES COUNTY.
Vernondale = Oranges promise a
splendid crop and are coloriDg nicely
they were not injured by the frost. A
good rain fell Saturday.
Verdugo-The rainfall amounted to
2.19 inches. Grass, which has grown
but little since the first rains on account
of cold weather, is now growing rapidly.
Oranges are fast ripening and the crop
is generally heavy.
SAN BERNARDINo COUNTY.
Rialto-The high wind of the 18th
did no damage. Thirty degrees has
been the lowest temperature recor ded.
No injury resulted to fruit trees.
Chino-The rain of Saturday was
timely and will keep the upper land in
good condition for plowing, which still
continues. very large acreage Of bar
ley lie being sown. Rainfall, 1873 inches.
ORANGE corNTy-
Santa Ana-The citrus crop never
promised larger yield, the trees being
heavily laden with clean fruit. Grain
promises we'll, and the acreage planted
will greatly exceed last years. Rain
fall l AZ inches.
Tustip--The weather has been gener-
ally clear and cold with light frosts un-
til the latter part of the week, when
rain fell. Some desert winds occurred.
SAN DIEGO COUNTY.
Perris-Crop indications are good,
enough rain having fallen to insure a
fair crop. A high wind on the 10th
slightly damaged grain.
San Diego city-The weather has been
cool and dry until the end of the week
when rain fell. Grass made small
growth during the dry weather.
National City-There is great activity
in preparing land for citrus fruit plant
ing this coming season. Slight frosts
reported in low valley bottoms.

THoUGH Che ordinance permitting the
establishment of the Cudahy packing
establishment stands as the judgment Of
the council, it by no means follows that
it will become law. 1t has frst to
meet the approval of the mayor. Should
it receive this great and overshadow
ing question remains. 1t may not
suit the property holders near the
Macy-street bridge to see their prop
erty practically contiscated. 1t also
may not suit the people OF Los An
gelee to zee their fair city overrun with
abattoirs and slaughter houses. No
city council in the world can create and
maintain nuisance. We understand
that Mayor Hazard has not yet had
time to look into this matter fully, but
the HERALD has assurance that he will
either sigu it or veto it, 60 that it will
not 90 over to The next council as unfin-
ished business. The same line OF rea-
soning that led him to veto the ordi-
nance granting certain privileges to a
smelter within the city limits would ap-
ply with redoubled force to pack
ing houses and slaughter houses.
Should the ordinance receive the
mayors signature, however, the
courts will undoubtedly be invoked in
tie matter. The argument of the attor.
ney of Simon Maier that if the packing

THERE is no possibility of ignoring
the fact that the case of Councilman
elect Campbell is very grave one.
We understand that the United States
grand jury has taken the matter in
hand, and that an indictment is prob
able. 1t is high time that the law
should be asserted. City Attorney Mac.
Farland, we have been informed, has
said that, in the event of Mr.. Campbell
being declared ineligible, another cleo
ton would be necessary. No one has
doubted this for moment. No Demo.
crat would think of depriving the citi-
zens OF the Ninth ward of their right to
signify their preference for councilman
at the ballot box. There has not been
even suggestion to that effect in
Democratic quarters. If Mr.. Campbell
has not been elected nobody has been,
and the people should again have
an opportunity OF expressing their
preference. That is not the Ques-
tion at issue. 1t ia whether or no
man can get himself fraudulently
naturalized and then propose himself for
