DOWN FROM SACRAMENTO.

Republican Politicians Who Are Back
for a Season.
Among the arrivals in the city yester-
day was E. Jackson Niles, an attache of
the senate and of the legislature, ar
rived in the city Yesterday for brief
sojourn on this, the scene of his former
political triumphs within the ranks Of
the Republican party. Mr.. Niles states
that thus far he is very we'll satisfied
with the work, the legislature has done.
Mr.. Niles, in company with Col.
Charles I. Webber, who is well known
in this city, and who is also an inhuen-
tial within the ranks of the Republican
party, have headquarters furnished in a
style of oriental elegance at 721 ] street,
Sacramento. Here the tracts from Ken
tucky and other states are distribted to
the legislator, and if he desires knowl-
edge as to any measure pending before
the legislature he is given information
in order that he may be enabled to vote
intelligently. Mr.. Niles returns soon to
Sacramento. At the close of the session
he will again come to Los Angeles to
handle the Second ward in the Repub.
lican conventions of next year.

to the portly executives bidding and
went on transcribing the minutes OF
that mornings session. That being
finished, he took out his list of requisi-
tions and began to count up the weekly
drain of the boys who "run wild der
masheen." At this iuncture, the HERALD
artist entered and heard him exclaim:
Sixteen dollars for a new hub !"
Mr.. w. W. Robinson, the mayors
clerk, is an old hand in our local poll
tics. He was originally a sea-faring
man and sailed out of the New England
ports, prior to the discovery of gold in
California. Coming here among the ar
gonauts, he mined all the way from
Hangtown on the north to Havilah on
che south, until 1864, when he joined
the Bulkely telegraphic expedition,
which was designed to connect
San Francisco with St. Petersburg
by way of Bering straits and the Amoor
river. The completion of the Atlantic
cable in 1866 put an end to all that cal
culation, and poor Bulkely returned to
Ban Francisco ''sadder and wiser
man." The writer of this article has a
photograph of Mr.. Robinson in his
Aleutian islands dress, commemorative
,f that half-forgotten episode in the com
mercial history of the country. Mr..
Robinson was city clerk for number of
years, and since leaving that place has
been mayors clerk under several occu-
pants of that Office. Like Tennyson's
brook they ''come and CO." but the VEN

A JUSTICE ARRESTED,
BECAUsE HE PUNCTURED A FOOT
BALL WITH HIS PENKNIFE.
He Was Opposed to Sunday Sports, and
Took Effectual Means TO Stop the
Kicking of the Football
Club at Covina.

District Attorney H. g. Dillon yester-
day, upon the complaint Of Frank
Anon, the president of the Covina foot
ball team, issued warrant for the ar
rest of Justice of the Peace James R.
Hodges OF Covina. In the complaint
Judge Hedges is charged with the
henious crime of malicious mischief.
All the facts leading up to this impor-
tant action on the part of the district
attorney, form very interesting chap
ter and have already created q great
sensation at Covina and in that vicinity.
It seems that on Sunday morning last
the football team was in full operation
in the middle of the road down at Covi-
ma. The ball was being very cheerfully
battered around until finally 1t was
landed in the hands of Judge Hodges,
who was standing in front of the hotel
merely in the capacity of spectator.
The Judge, when he got the ball, drew
out his penknife and carefully inserted
it into the sphere. The result was the
ruination of it and the cessation Of the
game.
This act of the judge angered all OF
the footballists in Covina, and caused a
great uprising Of public sentiment
against the Judge, who is decidedly op-
posed to Sunday football playing. Then
Anon swore to the complaint as above.
Judge Hodges has not yet been ar
rested, but when he is he will be tried
before Justice T. O. Bouldin Of Azusa.

The Plans ali Completed and Work to
Commence at Once.
DIR. F. M. Endlich, the general man
ager of the Southern California Smelt-
ing and Refining company has just re-
turned from Chicago. He brings with
him the complete plans for the pro-
jected smelling works and building will
be commenced at once. 1t it is pro-
bable that contracts will be let for the
erection of the buildings and their COM
pletion will be hastened az much as
possible. The plans have been made
with unusual care and experts who
have examined them pronounce them
the most complete and the best ar
ranged that any similar plant in the
west can show.
Especial care has been taken to save
and utilize all of the smoke and flue-
dust and expensive automatic con-
trivances have been introduced to ac-
complish this end. Fraser & Chalmers
of Chicago are furnishing the machinery
and several carloads of it are now ready
for shipment. As soon as the spurs
from the Terminal and Santa Fe rail-
ways have been completed, the ma
chinery will be shipped. The total
shipment foots up more than 100 tons.
Every point has been utilized to give
Los Angeles the most efficient and
complete smelling plant of the west.

artist and the reporter who attends to
the city hall details. He sat down in
his chair and chatted for half an hour
pleasantly with the reporter, wholly
unconscious that the HERALD's artist
was sketching his face all the time. The
conversation turned upon the steam fire
engine and how it had superseded the
hand engine of early California.
"The Amoskesg has superseded all
others, sir, especially in the larger cit
les. In small towns, where alarms are
few, there are others that may answer
as well. But in the larger cities. where
you have but little time for repairs, the

the sanctuary of the law was not wholly
tenantess. w. E. Dunn, deputy city
attorney, and called "Billy" for the
sake of brevity, was engaged in drafting
an ordinance, and looked up as the PEN
cil-pusher entered. "Come in and have
a cigar" he said pleasantly.
"What do you hear from Sacramento
about the bills? Have any of them
passed since Monday ?" asked the scribe.
"No," said Mr.. Dunn, "they have not.
You HERALD folks opposed that park
bill, and | believe, did go honestly. 1
don't believe the HERALD would advo-
cate bad bill nor oppose one it really
believed to be good, but it don't seem
to comprehend that this is good
bill. If Markham were always to
be our governor, no change would
be necessary. But as we are
liable, two years hence, to have a gov
ernor from Sacramento, Red Bluffs or
the Humboldt bay, it has been thought
better to take this matter out of his
hands and put it in the hands of the
council"
Mr.. Dunn is about "a years of age and
has been deputy city attorney about
four years. He has always been popu-
lar with the young American branch of
the Republican party, but, girls, don't
set your caps for him. He is a bene-
dict, as fast and hard as ring and priest
can make him.

is very popular with the newspaper fra

CUTICURA BABY

This beautiful baby boy. the son oi
Geo. B. and Janetta Harris, Webster,
Ind, is one of thousands completely
cured by the CUmcURA REMEDIES of a
torturing and disfguripg skin disease,
after many doctors and remedies had
wholly failed. The marvellous cures
daily performed by these great remedies
have astonished all familiar with them.
None bat mothers realize how these lit
tie ones suffer when their tender skins
are literally on fire with itching and
burning eczemas, and other itching,
scaly, blotchy and pimply skin and
scalp diseases. To know that a single
application of the CUIIcuRA REMEDIES
will afford instant relief, permit rest and
sleep, and point to a permanent and
economical (because most speedy cure.
and not to use them is to fail in your
duty. Parents, think of the mental and
physical suffering to be endured in years
to come from neglected skin, scalp and
blood diseases. Cures made in infancy
and childhood are almost invariably
permanent.

PRESIDENT MANvEL's HEALTH.
Contradictory rumors are current
about the condition of President Allen
Marvel of the Santa Fe company, who
is i'll at Coronado. Statements have
been made to HERALD reporters recently
from more or less reliable sources that
he is suffering from Bright's disease.
Another. story is that his trouble is
nervous prostration, and still another is
that he is simply overworked.
General Manager K. HI. Wade OF the
Southern California says that Mr.. Man
vel is not seriously ill; that he is i'm
proving in health, and that he is not
confined to his bed.
HIS KICK WAS UNAvAILING.
Those freight agents lose very few
points. A few weeks ago man called
on Freight Agent Whittmore of the
Santa Fe and offered to ship a car of
freight over his line from Chicago here,
if the company would deadhead about
$50 worth of excess baggage for him, as
he was going east. Whittmore talked
with him bit, and declined the offer,
but in conversation he found out enough
about'the Car of freight to wire east and
have an agent of his company sent to
the shipper and secure it's shipment
here over the Santa Fe. The consignee
meanwhile wrote directing its shipment
over another line, and very angry at the
Santa Fe paid his excess baggage charge
and went east. He returned few days
ago, and then first ascertained that the
Santa Fe had secured that car after all
his kicking. The way he had been left
all around struck him 30 forcibly that
he yesterday called on Mr.. Whittmore
and gave him a very large shipment,
just because of "your blank smartness,
sir, in getting ahead of me-" as he
put it.
