SAN BERNARDINo, Sept. 2l.-Captain
and Mrs. Smith, formerly OF this city,
but now residing in Rialto, leave today
for San Diego, to attend the annual
Nj. E. conference.
Judge and Mrs. A. D. Boren attended
the Prohibition meeting at Highlands,
last evening.
Mrs. L. Guernsey is quite ill at her
home, south OF the city.
Mrs. William Richardson is at San
Diego, combining restoration of health
and spiritual edification.
The new Republican button-hole
badge, when not worn fright side up
with care" can easily be mistaken for a
druggists mortar. If the party could
only furnish the same quality OF brains
as those which once filled the grand
fathers hat. for all who would now
like to wear it, it would truly do its
country good service.
San Bernardino has taken to itself
another honor IN the selection OF +. q.
Seymour, the present sheriff OF San Ber-
nardino county, for senator. Mr.. Sey-
mour's nomination is sad disappOint-
ment to many Republicans, who greatly
desired George L. Hisom for the posi-
ton. AS county clerk, Mr.. Hisom has
ever been so obliging and courteous that
many voters of other parties would no
doubt have cast their ballots for him,
feeling sure that as senator he would be
as accessible and faithful to all. Mr..
Seymour is so widely known as past
commander of the Grand Army that his
past record will need no publishing, but
there are some Republicans who will
now be forced to choose between party
and principles on election day, when
they cast their ballot for senator, if
there be any truth in rumor.
Company E of the National guards
has high aspirations and holds forth
tempting inducements to it's members to
perfect themselves in the art of drilling.
At the close of the drill next Monday
evening the non-commissioned officers
will present a gold medal of beautiful
design to the best drilled private.
On Friday evening the Cleveland club
will listen to addresses from DR.. Booth
and Mr. Harry Patton, of Banning.
Something like 1000 voters have failed
as yet to place their names upon the
great register, though they certainly
must know they are enfranchised citi-
zens. If their example is followed, we
will soon hear the cry from Susan B.
and her admirers that male suffrage is
a failure.
A little local item, only one of
thousands which may be of use to some
OF the political orators who dwell go
lengthily upon the protection which
tariff gives to American homes, by
assisting the head of the family, reads
thus: ga Mrs. E. B. Ratcliffe is now
in the county hospital, her husband
having deserted her and her children"
The local editor of the Times Index,
in last evenings issue, pays a delicate
compliment, in words fitly chosen, to a
political enemy--Hon. John P. Irish.
Not to be outdone by the other politi-
cal parties, the Prohibitionists are now
preparing for grand temperance meet
ing about the 1st of the month. They
will exert themselves to best endeavols
and fill, if possible, the large pavilion
which is situated in the city park.
Good orators will be present to con-
vince the world of the sin of tippling,
and the Christian of the responsibility
of sending his ballot in one direction
and his prayers in another.
The ladies are working wheel with
in a wheel upon fair matters, and are
quite thoroughly aroused as to the dan
ger OF bringing disgrace upon this
thrifty, fourishing community if they
fail to help represent it at the district
and worlds fair. Local committees are
communicating and cooperating with
other committees throughout the coun-
ty for the purpose of having nice dis
play of products, curios, etc., at the
Twenty-eighth District Agricultural as
socation fair to be held III this city Oc-
tober 18th to 18th. At the close of the
fair such portions of the display as is
deemed proper, will be forwarded to
Chicago to form large drop in that
great ocean of wonders, the worlds fair
