The fearful cyclones and hailatorms
that have passed over q portion of Iowa
have again called general attention to
the frequency with WHICH these terrible
meteorological catastrophes visit the
northwestern states. In this instance
the cyclones were attended with great
loes of life and destruction of property.
One frontier town was nearly wiped out,
and seventy lives are known to have
been lost at last accounts. So serious
was the visitation there that Governor
Boies considered it his duty to inspect
in person the effects of the disastrous
storm before calling upon the people
elsewhere to come to the relief of the
victims. 1t is an ungracious act to draw
comparisons between eections OF the
country subject to these fearful vista
tions and to those that are happily free
from them; but people living on this
coast should be thankful that their lots
are cast in part of the country
where such terrible experiences are un.
known.

sink into the grave with sll the horns Of
praise sounding his name under mis-
apprehension. He certainly got full
credit for intentions that seem to have
been indifferently performed. His will
discloses no adequate performance OF
the bombastic programme that had
been heralded throughout the whole
world. If the best that Palo Alto can
do is to enable q young man to avail
himself OF its advantages at $22 a month,
then We think that aspiring person
would improve his condition by hunting
up some of the older seats OF learning.
where tradition and association will do
much to assist him in assimilsting the
graces of thorough edcuation.
q But if $22 month is large sum to
pay for enjoying the privileges of the
Leland Stanford, Jr., University--is
there no method by which that awful
junior may be eliminated from tho
title OF the university ?-what are we to
think of the monumental cheek OF the
controllers Of the Whittier so.called Re-
form School? Here we have q state in
stitution that has been built and is
maintained by the commonwealth OF
California. It is dedicated to the rscep-
tion OF incorrigible youth Of both sexes,
who have been too lively and vicious to
submit to parental authority or to re.
spect the laws of the state of California.
1t would naturally be supposed that
there would be something both OF the
correctional and punitive in such an in.
stitution. What will be the surprise of
level-headsd people when they learn
that, under Chsdband administration
of affairs in California. the "cadet"-in
other words. the youthful criminal-is
made to cost the state and county $25 q
month, or $500 yearl
Who is the beneficiary of this un-
speakable joke, and to what extent is he
the beneficiary? The whole proposition
is certainly too too. 1t looks like an
enginery of humor that is liable to ex-
plode with disastrous consequences. But
there is nothing like synchronousness in
funny things. DIR. Walter Lindley runs
the Whittier Reform School, while CAL"
Lindley runs the Los Angeles Base Ball
team. What more natural than that the
"csdets" should be run in on notable
festival days, like the 4th OF July, to
swell the concourse at our national game,
and lend little eclat to Brother Al
There is said to be power sitting up
aloft that looks out for poor Jack. How
ever that may be there is power some
where that looks out for the Eindley
family. With no mightier pundit than
DR.. Walter himself to instruct or en-
tighten them, the tuition and mainten-
ance of the "cadet" costs like blazes.
And don't you forget 1t!

SMASHING A WILL.
A QUARREL OVER THE ESTATE OF
CHARLEs =. LANGrOKD.
Tho Children OF the Dead Mans First
Wife Commence Contest Of His
Testament, Alleging Un-
due Influence.

Quite q lively contest has arisen over
the disposition OF the estate of Charles
E. Langford, an aged citizen Of Pasa-
dena, who died in that city June 18th,
leaving an estate the estimate value OF
which is about $75. 900.
He left . widow, Mrs. Maria M.
Langford, aged 40 years, who was his
second wife, and five children by q
former wife. After Mr.. Langford's
posit box by which he named his wife
will, which is dated Novem ser 20, 1887.
she was given the bulk OF the property |;
but there was q codicil to it, dated
January 20, 1890, by which, in case of
his wife's death, the estate shall 60 to
his daughter, Mabel LAngford, daugh-
ter by the second wife.
In the will the children Of his first
wife are left $1,000 each, and they have
decided to contest the legality Of the
document. The contest was filed July
1st in the superior court and is by Mary
Herwick and Elizabeth Longshore, two
Of the children. 81.
They ask that the will fled BY Mrs.
Langford for probate few days after
the death of the teststor be not admitted
to probate, and attack II on various
grounds. The usual contention is made
that the deceased ct the time he made
the will and particularly the codicil,
was not OF sound mind; that he was
aged and feeble and was unduly influ-
enced by his wife to leave the contest
ants out from share of the property,
and did not understand what be was
doing.
But the principal point upon which
the contestants base their claim that the
document is illegal, is that it WAS never
signed. This claim is made and the
trial Of the issue will result in warm
fight.
The property mentioned In the will
embraces IL acres in Langford's SUBJ
division OF Pasadena. valued at $50; 1000;
q house and lot on Peoria street, PNsa-
dena, valued at $1,000; tract on South
Raymond avenue. $4,000; 10 acres 'front.'
ing on California street, $4,000; two cot
tages and lots on Villa street, $1,000;
lots in Olivewood, $4,000; building and
lot on Dayton street, $500; 40 acres
near Lamanda Park, subject to con-
tract on which $4,000 is unpaid, and per-
sonal property, $4,000.

UP TILL the past week or so the Los
Angeles clearances showed the heaviest
percentage of increase of any city in the
United States, and that by long odds.
Last week they amounted to only $42S,-
600, decrease of 43.5 per cent. Phils'
delphia, San Francisco and Helena,
Montana, were the only places that
showed an increase, and that was very
slight one. OF course our late bank
furry WAS instrumental in this drop, as
it involved the suspension of several ol
our banks. The indications are that we
shall soon resume our splendid career
OF financial progress. Our material ad-
vance has never been interrupted, nor
will it be.

TIE alarm that was felt for the illness
of President Cleveland has happily
proven to be unfounded. Nothing more
serious than bad cold and temporary
mouth affection seems to have occurred
to the chief magistrate, as result of
exposure in Buzzard's Bay. 1t seeme
that the hurried departure of the Presi-
dents sister for the scene of his vacation
was rather in anticipation of the joyous
illness of Mrs. Cleveland than any seri-
ous alarm about her brothers. health.

If SAN Francisco should really take
new departure and build railroads to
the interior, there will be no cause to
find fault with her. 1t would be good
thing for the atate if her people should
realize the fact that the great wealth

cretions from the whole coast would be
better employed in building railroads
than in letting it out at usury. But the
plan seems to be elaborated on the old
selfish scale, of getting large subsidies

by alcoves two stories high, which will be
reserved for reading rooms for special stu

Direct access will be had from the read

time taken in furnishing books will be
hardly noticeable. These .'stacks'' are in
fact nine story buildings opening directly
from the rotunda. They will be lighted
with plate glass windows on both sides,
The north and south stacks will each hold
more thar s00,o GOO volumes, and the east
stack, the smallest of the three, will ac-
commodate 175, 900 volumes more. As the
library at present possesses less than roc, 900
volumes, the result of 40 years. collecting,
it is expected that these stacks will provide
sufficient storage room for the next so
years. But when additional space is re-
quired it will be comparatively easy to get
it, as the plans provide plenty Of room Tor
expansion.
In the large part of the building not de-
voted to the library proper some of the
rooms will be devoted to special collec-
tions and others reserved as private read
ing rooms for members of congress. At
present it looks as if the cost of the build
ing would come within the &C. 1000, 600 appro-
priated for it. but it will be safer to talk
about that four years hence.
