Weather permitting, the Goth day OF
this month will be gala one at the fair
grounds. The occasion will be the formal
opening Of the Southern California
building and the Inauguration Of the
southern citrus fair.
The northern citrus fair was success,
the display being of the very best, and it
behooves the people of the south to do
their utmost to overcome the favorable
impression made upon the public by the
northerners.
Los Angeles county promises 500 boxes
OF choice oranges. These, with the fruit
already on hand, will undoubtedly make
an imposing exhibit, and arranged as
they will be, the impression upon visit
ors will be such as to rebound to the
credit of the south.
Porterville has been accorded space in
the gallery, where they will make an
elaborate trade display. This locality
already has 40 entries in the quality
classes and more to come.
San Bernardino has not vet ava kened
from her lethsrey, having but half
dozen boxes and jars of fruit on ex-
hibit. At this rata her display will be
in place about two months after the
closing OF the fair. The rest OF the
counties are in snip-shape with the ex-
ception Of Riverside, but here the de-
lay has been due TO the failure in obs
tanning the motor with which to run
their Ferris wheel, made entirely of or
anges. The management Ia desirous
that large excursion party should
come from the south and join in the
opening day festivities on the 10th in
stant. The opening exercises will con-
sist of music by the famous Iowa State
band and speeches by Gov. Markham.
Director General de Young and Hon.
Win Harris OF San Bernardino, who
has been selected speaker OF the day.
President J. s Slauson OF the South
ern California Fair association will pre-
side during the ceremonies. Those in
tending to visit the fair will be justified
in coming at this time, as, the exposi-
ton is virtually in as finished condi-
ton as it will be at any time.

The nickel in the slot machine seems
to have reached the acme OF perfection
as exhibited at the exposition in its
various forms. One of the largest
machines OF this kind in the world may
be seen in the building of manufactures
and arts. 1t is nothing more or less
than large sized bar, here, by Drop
ping either nickel or dime in one of
many slots, one may have his choice al
beer, whisky, or any ordinary brand OF
wines.
In another part of the building the
visitor can, by dropping nickel in the
slot of huge red tank, eecure @ bag of
hot peanuts. In the same manner one
can have his choice of many kinds of
mineral water and phosphates, and, -
DESTROYS OF knowing what the future b IS
IN store, can in the same manner learn
by the horoscope of the good or evil
that time may bring forth.

The fair management has boosted of
the perfection of its emergency hospital,
situated on the grounds, yet at q time
when the doctors and nurses were
needed, not one could be found, and, "a
a result, Carl Thieman, who was 80
irightfully mutilated by Col. Boone's
lions few days since, had to be taken
to the city receiving hospital, where he
died OF his injuries the following day.
Your correspondent was at the scene
Of the terrible affair shortly after its oc-
currence, and saw the clothes worn bv
the unfortunate victim; they were torn
into ribbons and covered with blood.
The floor of the cage where the horrible
affair occurred was covered with blood
and shreds OF clothing. while Parnell,
the ferocioue beast who first attacked
his keeper, paced back and forth in his
narrow cell, his head and paws dripping
with blood, showing his teeth and emit
ting rosrs, in which he was joined by the
other animals.
Ayoung hoodlum named Ruse stabbed
his aged father to death few days
since. intlicting over 80 cuts while en-
gagged in his murderous work,
1t appears that Ruse, er., had in con-
tenn plstion at the time of his demise the
of his son ON q charge of
insanity, and that will undoubtedly be
the murderer's defense when placed
upon trial.
The father certainly took charitable
view OF his dissolute sons depraved
habits, but in this opinion the police
and doctors disagree with the ideas OF
the deceased in this respect; they claim
that the parTicide lie nothing more than
an ordinary hoodlum with q desire for a
reputation as bad man, and his actions
after his arrest certainly carry out these
tatements.
By the death OF his father the MUIR
1erel becomes sole heir to fortune of
about $50, 900, with the aid OF which be
expects to secure an acquittal. II. G.
Grant, formerly OF Los Angeles, is the
iefendant's attorney.
