TROUBLE At PASADENA,
Liquor-SeIIers Begin a Test OF
the Ordinance Regulating
Saloons.
VIII Become Null and
Void.

PASADENA, CAL, Oct. Local strife
over the liquor question has reached an
acute stage. A liquor ordinance passed by
the city allows the sale of liquor at certain
places during specified and restricted
hours. This ordinance IS subject to occa-
sional violations, but for several years
past Pasadena has been practically pro-
hibition town, at least so far as external
vision extended.
Recently a great wave of moral reform
was started by temperance people, and the
conflict has grown so bitter that an antag-
onism has developed on both sides. Where
evidence was wanting against druggists
and others supposed to have at times vio-
lated the ordinance 1t has been secured by
detectives employed to purchase liquor at
the suspected places. The following card,
printed in local paper, shows the state of
affairs:
To l0hom Ii may concern: During last week
one Ed Hobson of this city offered to John
Ralston, also of this city, sum of money if he
would procure at my store bottle OF whisky
contrary to existing laws. l hereby give pub
lie notice that shall prosecute to the full ex-
who will by counsel, pubic speech or the con-
tribution of money, aid or assist, or in any
other manner use their influence to tempt
myself or those in my employ to commit a
ordinance. AUGUST LANG, Druggist.
Every day brings cases into court OF
alleged violations of the law, and circum-
stances have developed to-day which bid
fair TO complicate matters. Harry F. Luke,
the restaurant-keeper who was some time
ago found guilty of having violated the
local ordinance and whose sentence was
suspended pending an appeal in the Su-
perior Court, to-day waived the appeal
and surrendered himself to the City Mar
shall, who put him in jail. This action was
taken at the suggestion of Luke's attorney,
who to-day applied for and was granted a
writ of habeas corpus in Judge Smith s
court in order to test the validity of the
Pasadena liquor ordinance. Argument in
the case will be heard before Judge Smith
at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
The strong point which Judge Hester
makes is that when the city offices were
moved in February, 1898, from the Hop
kins block to the White block it was done
| by resolution instead of by ordinance as
| required by law. Thirteen months later
the alleged error was discovered and an or
! dInance of like import was passed. The
! local liquor ordinance was framed and
passed during these thirteen months. Judge
Hester argues, therefore, that the ordinance
was never legally passed.
The outcome of the case will be watched
with great interest, for if Judge Hester
carries his point not only will the liquor
ordinance be invalid, but all other city
business OF legal nature transacted be-
tween February q, 1893, when the city Of
hces were moved, and March 26 1894, when
the alleged necessary ordinance warrantlng
such removal was passed, will also be de-
clared null.

of a Brilliant Gathering
at Night.
FULL ATTENDANCE PROMISED
To-Day the order VIII Settle Down
to Work for the Farmers
Benefit.

MERGED, CAL, Oct. l.. The State
Grange met in this city this morning. and
opened in due form with nearly all
oranges represented. Absent delegates
are on the way, and full attendance is
expected tomorrow. A large number of
members of the order are present in addi-
ton to the actual members of the State
Grange.
The arrival of THE CALL with its COM
plete history of the grange evoked much
favorable comment from the members for
the enterprise displayed in supplying in
formation of much value to the younger
mem ers of the order, who were not
familiar with its early history.
To-day's session was occupied by reports
of officers of the State Grange and the
subordinate oranges. The report of Master
a. P. Roache was an able document, cover
ing the operations of the last year, and
showing the order to be in prosperous
condition. 1t discussed the subjects OF
finance, transportation, cooperation,
education, agric culture, college, legislation
and good of the order, with some minor
matters, and was duly referred to the COM
mittees in charge of the several subjects.
A spirit of earnestness is very noticeable
in those present, and it is believed that the
real work of the session, which begins to-
morrow, will develop important and we'll
considered plans for the advancement OF
the farming interests.
Agricultural Pavilion was the scene this
evening of brilliant reception given in
honor of the delegates to the grange. The
large hall was filled with men and women,
| and the spirit of welcome to the visiting
guests pervaded the entire audience.

is not necessary to the enjoyment of per-

Serious illness has its beginning in
neglected little things. Even dread con-
begin with very slight arrangement.
Taken in time, 90 per cent. of all cases
of consumption can be cured. Taken in
time, no disease need be really serious.
The best safeguard against disease is an
active, healthy liver. That means good
blood and good blood means good solid
healthy flesh.
The germs of disease seek out the weak
spots in the body. Don't have any weak
spots. If you have them now, clear them
out, tone them up, make them strong.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
will do it. 1t searches out all poisonous
matter and disease-gerns of whatever
