POMONA.

In the Smith liquor case Wednesday
evening the court overruled the motion
for new trial, to which ruling the de-
fendant excepted; sentence was then
pronounced, which is fixed by the ordi-
nance at ten days in the city Jail and a
fne OF $3.50, and, in case the fine is not
paid, defendant to be imprisoned until
it is satisfied in proportion of one day
for each 50. Notice of and bond on ap-
peal were filed at once.
Yesterday the work of selecting jury
was commenced in the case against N.
Green, of Browns hotel.
George S. Mulally, J. T. Copeland and
T. j. Rockwell were arrested during yes
terday for q violation of the liquor
ordinance. Copeland's case was set for
February 18th, Mulally's February 25th,
and Rockwell's has not been set yet, but
will come up some time after the 25th
The town, of course, is wrought up on
the main question, and it is not expected
that there will be very much union of
"heart and hand" in forwarding the
best interests of the city for while to
come. We regret this state of affairs
sorely.
The people living along the San An
tonic wash have raised $1,000, and pro-
pose to spend 40 per cent OF it in clear
ing out the channel and retain the other
go per cent for emergencies in case OF
high water.
The Boston produce dealers excursion
will be here on Saturday morning next,
and will remain all the forenoon. Citi-
zens here have been requested to be on
hand with carriages to convey the vis-
itors over the valley.
The electricians for the San Antonio
Electric Light and Power Co., are now
in this city putting up wires and the
work will be continued without inter-
ruption both here and at Ontario and
other places. The work in the tunnel
is moving along satisfactorily and SOL
idly.
L. E. St. John of Greene, N. Y. will
be in Pomona for day or two. He has
property here.
Several arrests of small boys have
been made for disturbing the schools
and some of them will probably be sent,
or an attempt is to be made to send
them, to Whittier. They appear to be
incorrigibles.
Ralph w. H. Hall, local agent for the
Singer Sewing Machine company at this
place, yesterday received the premium
OF 500 offered by the home office in
New York to the agent that would send
in the largest remittances for November
and December, 1891. This certainly
speaks we'll for Mr.. Hall, as we'll as for
the community where he operates.
At about o'clock yesterday an alarm
of fire was sounded, and the two hose
and the hook and ladder companies were
on the ground in twinkling. The fire
was in a two-story corrugated iron
wagon and paint shop of 9. Stout, on
first street. The fire was soon extin-
guished, although when the alarm was
sounded it was enveloped in flames.
The building was badly damaged,
though there was no stock in the build
ing Of any consequence. The loss was
not heavy.

THE SEXTUPLE WIRE.

Telegraphers Doubt the Efficacy of
McDonald's Invention.
A great deal of. interest has been ex-
cited in local telegraphic circles by the
recent publication of the discovery of
sextuple system of telegraphy by Chief
Operator Mcdonald of the Western
Union telegraph Office in Tacoma. In
other words, Mcdonald claims to be able
to apply the duplex to the quadruple
system now in use, thus being enabled
to send six messages on one wire stimuli
taneously. The most important feature
of the discovery as announced, lies in
McDonald's claim that he can attach
his duplex or quadruple system to any
ordinary Morse wire without interfering
with the operators working between way
stations.
Assistant Chief Operator Nye of the
Los Angeles Western Union telegraph
Office was asked about the reported in
vention yesterday, and said: II very
much doubt Mr.. McDonald's ability to
work quadruplex set on a way wire
without interfering with theinterchange
of messages between the way offices. 1t
is contrary to all knowledge thus far
developed with regard to telegraphy.
We can work with San Diego on one
side of the quadruplex, which is
working through between San Francisco
and San Diego at the same time, but it
would be an impossibility for way sta
tions, or intermediate points to work
together at the same time. The ground
connections would interfere with their
working"
Other operators were talked to on
the same subject, and they all expressed
the same opinion. With regard to the
possibilities of the extension of the
the quadruplex, or multiple system of
telegraphy, there does not seem to be
any limit, except that of utility. In
fact by reason of discoveries by eminent
electricians in Vienna and London it is
possible to send sixty messages on one
wire at the same time, thirty messages
going each way. No one on either side
OF the Atlantic, however. has yet dis
covered system by means Of which it

STRIVING FOR STATEHOOD.
Oklahoma and Indian Territory Want to
Come In as One State.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE house
committee on territories. today acc orded
a hearing to delegation of citize MS of
Oklahoma and Indian territory to form
a constitution and state government
and be admitted to the union as one
state.
Clarke, chairman of the Oklahoma
statehood executive committee, made
the first address. He devoted himself
principally to argument in favor
of including in the proposed
new state all of the old Indian territory.
Clarke earnestly argued that it was the
duty Of congress not to delay the passage
of an enabling act for Oklahoma beyond
this session. "If you deny US the relief
we ask at this session." said he, ''you
will be forced to pass the bill at the
next, for there will be 500,0 900 people in
the two territories before the close OF
this congress-" He urged in conclusion
sound public policy. and demanded
prompt action in the pending bill.
w. P. Hackney made an earnest argu
ment in support of the bill.

Chinese Exclusion.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE session OF
the house committee on foreign affairs
today was consumed by discussion of
the Chinese exclusion bill before the
committee. The immigration commit
tee reported Chinese bill, and there
was a conflict OF Jurisdiction in the com
mittee over this subject, the foreign
affairs committee holding that as the
measure involves treaty obligations the
foreign affairs committee properly has
charge of bills relating to Chinese ques-
tions. The first two sections of the bill
were favorably considered, after some
notifications, but when the commit tee
adjourned motion was pending to re-
consider one section. The committee
made the bill the special order for next
week, and hope to reach a common
ground on which the members can unite
at the next session.

The Boys Did the Job.

An East Dover (Me.) farmer had a
mare something over 20 years old, and
not thinking it advisable to winter
her, spoke to some boys to take her out,
shoot her and bury her for money con-
sideration. Boys No. and 2 did the
job all right, but No. 8, not knowing the
mare had been killed, went the follow
ing day to the farmers barn, and find
ing an animal in the stable, took him
out and led him down to a piece Of
woods, shot and buried him. Imagine
the farmers surprise on coming home to
find that boy No. had shot and buried

energy that was in him to making sue

over it's failure was beyond doubt what

After his mind gave way came one of the
most splendid examples Of wifely devotion

Before his faculties were wholly dimmed
he begged his wife never to accept charity
in his behalf. She never did. Moreover
the stories that he was suffering from priva-
tions were wholly untrue. Sophie Knights

The Public Printing Bill Amended In
Several Respects.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-In the senate
today an adverse report was made from
the committee on military affairs on the
bill to provide for the biennial issue of a
book to be known as the military regis.
ter of the United States, and the bill
was indefinitely postponed
Call then offered a resolution asking
for an investigation into the alleged ef-
forts of railway and other corporations
to control elections of senators in the
Florida legislature. Laid on the table
until Call speaks upon it.
The bill providing for postoffice build
jngs in towns and cities where the post
office receipts exceed $4,000 annually,
was made special order for Monday
week.
The calendar was then taken up, and
among the bills passed was one appro-
priating 5000, 900 for public building at
Cheyenne, Wyoming.
After a short executive session the

tion being on Coke's amendment to in

THE SUGAR BOUNTY.
western Democrats Determined to Re-
peal 1t If they Can.


peal 1t If they Can.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The Democrats
OF the west, it appears, are to make a
serious attempt to repeal the provisions
OF the Mckinley law providing for boun-
ties on sugar. Representative Scott OF
Illinois has introduced resolution in
structing the ways and means committee
to report bill providing for such re-
peal, and asserts with confidence that
the majority of the Democratic mem
bers will favor such bill. The resolu-
ton declares that since July 1st-last the
claims for bounty amount to millions of
dollars, imposing grievous burden
upon the taxpayers. The payment of
this bounty is contended to be
a gift or gratuity by the govern
ment to one class of persons
engaged in a private enterprise, the
burden of which is to be borne largely
by the poorly paid wheat, corn, cotton
and other agricultural producers of the
country, together with the vast army OF
wage learners of the land. 1t further
cites the decision of the supreme court,
by Justice Miller, that "to lay with one
hand the power of the government on
the property of citizens, and with the
other to bestow it upon favored individ-
uals to aid private enterprises and build
up private fortunes, is none the lees
robbery because it is done under forms
of law"
The resolution was referred to the
WAYS and means committee.
Mr.. Scott, in an interview, said the
sugar bounty is contrary to the consti-
tuition and violates every principle of
republican government. If it is consid-
cred American, patriotic and honest, to
donate money out of the treasury to en-
rich private enterprises, there is no just
reason why corn, wheat and other great
industrial interests should not be given
a bounty.
Chairman Springer, OF the ways and
means committee, thought the resolu-
ton should have gone to the appropria-
tions committee, as the law makes an
permanent appropriation for sugar boun-
ties, and the way to reach the question
is to repeal this law.
Chairman Holman thought the sub
ject properly belonged to the ways and
means committee. Apermanent appro-
priation has been made for fourteen
years to meet this bounty. On account
OF this it requires independent legisla.
ton, and properly belongs to the ways
and means committee.
Notwithstanding this opinion of Hol-
man, however, the resolution is likely
to be referred back to his committee.
