TWO CONFIDENCE MEN.

A RedIands Contractor Falls Into Their
Clutches.
A Redlands bridge-builder named
John Adams fell into the hands of two
confidence operators yesterday and came
near being victimized to the extent OF
500.
He met and became acquainted with
two men, who gave their names as j. A.
Mcleod and John Scott.
One of the men endeavored to learn
the history and business of their victim,
and succeeded. He then steered him
into the presence of his pal, and they
were just about presenting scheme to
victimize Mr.. Adams when Detective
Auble stepped in and took charge of the
men.
AS they did not succeed in robbing
Mr.. Adams no charge on that score
could be placed against them. A charge
OF vagrancy was filed against them,
however, and they will evidently be
given term in Jail or an opportunity
to leave the city at once.

COMING IN A BUNCH
EASTERN FARMERS ORGANIZE AN
EXPENSIVE COLONY SCHEME.
Their Representative Now Here Looking
for Suitable LocatiOn for
Many Disseminated East
ern Farmers

There is now in this city a gen tleman
who may prove the herald OF vast
movement westward to Southern Cali
fornia which will resemble the days of
the prairie schooner. 1t ia Mr.. James
W. Wilson, the editor of Farm, Field
and Fireside Of Chicago. This publica-
ton is one of the largest agricultural
papers in this country, has wide cir
culation among farmers and has consid-
cradle influence.
Mr.. Wilson ststes that his paper WAS
for long time in daily receipt of letters
of inquiry from farmers in both the mid
die and northwestern states. These
people expressed desire to get away
from the severe winters and the variou
difficulties to be encountered in farming
in their respective sections, and ex-
pressed wish to know something about
Southern California.
The letters kept increasing, and since
the close of the worlds fair they had
reached such numbers that it was de-
sired to give them some sort of definite
answer. 1t was proposed to them that
al those who desired to leave those aec--
tions OF the east would put up $1,000 saeh
and form general pool. Then suitable
land would be negotiated for and they
would remove and establish Themselves
here very similarly to colony.
Almost by return mail over $50 per-
sons expressed their willingness to go in
ON the pro position.
The section where they desired to 90
was then voted upon. A few wanted
to go north, but the vast majority
chose Southern California. Mr.. Wilson
was selected 40 their representative and
be is now here with view to purchss-
ing desirable land for the colony. The
prospective immigrants will probably
engage in general farming, as that is
what they are now doing in the east.
But email attention will be paid to hor-
ticulture.
With the present prices for farm sta
pies and The demand for good hogs il
would appear that they have made a
wise choice.
Mr.. Wilson visited the chamber Of
commerce yesterday in connection with
his plan. He states that should the
present scheme be q success it will be
followed by large number Of similar
ones by disseminated eastern farmers
who desire to remove with their fami-
lies to some more equaole climate than
they now experience.

THE DELUGE.
Professor 1. N. Vail Tells what b
Knows Of 1t.

Professor 1. N. Vail Tells What He
Knows Of 1t.
Last evening Prof. I. N. Vail lectured
for the Broadway club at the First Pres
byterian church.
The subject of the lecture was the an
nulsr theory of creation. The lecturer
claimed to be the fret scientist who ever
published to the world this theory, that
clearly explains ell the facts OF geology.
just as Saturn is now surrounded by
rings, 30 was the earth once surrounded.
Those rings contained all the matter
that now makes the rocks and oceans.
The heavier matter gravitated to the in
side of the rings and at last fell in upon
the earth. The lighter vapors con-
densed later and fell in, making the
oceans. The last OF these COMBINATIONS
made the deluge of the Bible. This
cleared the atmosphere, go that the sun
could shine upon the earth then the
rainbow was first seen.
The Greeks understood all this clearly,
and their mythology is but history of
what occurred. The vapors in the
atmospheres of Mars and Jupiter were
represented as serpents by the Greeks.
Homer's Iliad is but versified history
of the collapse of those vapor rings that
surrounded the earth and the gods OF
the poem, as well as Priam, Hector.
Achilles and the rest all mean clouds
and atmospheric changes.
The fun that Paris and Helen had
means only the play of light and shade
in the sky and Menelaus is only the
man in the moon laughing at the jest.
The lecturer proved beyond possibil-
ity OF doubt that there will never be
another deluge; the Xantiupe of the
eky has empted her vessel and Socrates
is safe from drenching to the death for
all time.
The audience appeared to enjoy the
lecture very much.

The further consideration was referred
back to the committee.
The committee on Southern California
reported that the most popular young
woman to represent her town was to be
selected by vote. 1t was hoped the
newspapers would assist in this respect.
Mr.. Newmark suggested, in view of
the quantity of work in sight, that a
general secretary and stenogrspher be
employed.
1t was resolved that any young ladies
without friends in the city should be
taken care OF at one of the hotels.
Colonel Schneider reported on the
military companies which would attend
if arrangements could be made for
transportation.
A general discussion then followed.
Mr.. Frank suggested money be raised
by asking the theaters to donate the
proceeds OF nights performance. Re.
ferred to executive committee.
After an informal discussion, during
which the subject of raising funds was
touched upon, the meeting adjourned.
