- The southern democrats are de-
manding through public meetings that
their representatives in congress stand
square on the democratic platform Tor
free silver. This means trouble for the
democratic party. The republicans of
the west are beginning to organize for
free silver. 1t looks like the east against

the fact that if Silver goes down,

It will take more labor from the wage
Garner, more merchandise from the busi-
ness man, and more wheat, cotton and
corn from The farmer, than ever before
to buy the gold dollars Of the bankers
therefore, these wealth producing class
es must unite to resist this proposed
robbery and oppression.

He Is Charged with Using the Mails
Frsudulently.
F. L. Flanders was arrested yesterday
and taken to the county Jail on charge
of using the mails for fraudulent pur-
poses. 1t appears that Flanders who is
young man, WAS adopted some time
ago by DR.. F. Flanders of Kansas City.
who, it is alleged, was convicted last
month in that city of the same offense
now charged against his adopted son,
DR.. Flanders had taken the initial steps
for the formation of a company which
he called the Mississippi transportation
company, bat the doctor, it is said.
never got far enough to take out the nec-
essary articles of incorporation. Not
withstanding this, however, he sent out
letters to all the principal railroads,
asking for passes, promising in return to
give free transportation by his company,
which had no existence, not being in
eorporated.
BY chance some of the answers to this
request reached the wrong hands, and
DIR. Flanders, it is said, was arrested and
sentenced to term OF imprisonment.
The affair caused considerable talk in
Kansas City, where DIR. Flanders was
known as man worth half a million.
Young Flanders, who was arrested yes
terdsy, worked for him as clerk and
mailed his employers letters. He
skipped out, however, three days before
his adopted fathers' alleged arrest and
came to Los Angeles, where he has since
been working. He will come before
Commissioner Van Dyke tomorrow
morning at O'Clock for examination.

collected particularly valuable library

collected a particularly valuable library
OF engineering and surveying works.
This library is now in the city in The
hands of the executor and will prove q
very important addition to any public
or private library which will acquire it,.
The library is not very extensive in
point OF number of volumes but it's
distinguished collector managed to pick
up volumes which make it worth very
much more than the money expended
on it. 1t probably cost Mr.. Flynn about
$4,000 to $500. 1t includes many books
that cost him as much as $50 each, and
the state has endeavored on occasions to
obtain some special works in the col
lection without success.
1t has been suggested that the city
could not make more judicious pur-
chase than to acquire this library of rare
and standard technical works on en-
gineering and surveying.
What price the executor might agree
upon is not known, although it is be-
lieved that the whole library could be
secured for very much less than its
original cost, perhaps not much more
than $1,000.
If the public library could add this
collection to its shelves it would prove a
priceless boon to students and those in
terested IN the subjects covered so thor
oughly and ably by the authors en-
braced in the list.
There are many works in the list
which cannot now be purchased; books
that engineers would give a great deal
OF money to have on their shelves.
