PASADENA, Oct. 5.-Everybody re-

Cured out a short time ago, when the
oity marshal, hearing that committed e
OF citizens we're about to file complain
against the illegal liquor selling going
on, suddenly astonished the community
by swooping down upon one of the dives
himself-the one selected being operated
by young man who had but lately come
to town and who vas possessed of but
few friends and almost no money. No
warrant was got out for him until two
days later. when. strangely enough, he
was not to be found, and the marshal
secured the country far and wide IN
search of the wanderer, who has not yet
returned, nor has any word been received
from him SO far as can be ascertained,
though letter did come to Mrs. Apper-
son signed "John Apperson," which she
says he never wrote at all, as it is not in
his handwriting, and the contents also
prove its falsity. The following docu-
ment gives the sequel to the matter:

oovernment OwnershIp of Property.


Every now and then something oc-
ours which pays homage to some de-
mand of the Omaha platform. If the
Southern Pacific shall carry out its or
ders to take off the through fast train
from Ogden to San Francisco, reduc-
ing its service on the branch of the
great continental road to a slow train
each day, there will be thousands OF
converts to the plank of the Omaha
platform which calls for government
ownership of railroads. 1t is when
some gigantic and insolent corporation
wantonly does an act which destroys
properties of immense value and tram
pies upon rights that have practically
become vested, that the public realize
the power OF the unclaimed monster,
and the absolute necessity Of putting it
under restraint.
The prosperity Of cities, the prices Of
products and the convenience Of the
public are more at the mercy Of the
railroad corporations than on any other
power or agency. By discriminating in
rates, they build up one locality and
tear down another, by rebates and Sc
cret reductions to favored firms and
companies they advance some to mil
lionaires and reduce numbers to beg
gary; by extortionate freight rates they
render the products Of the soil worth
less, or at least reduce them to fuel
or feed for animals; by combination
they control congress and state legis-
latures, and name the laws which they
permit to be enacted. The vast aggre-
gated wealth Of railway companies,
combined and directed against every
interest than their own, has become a
dangerous menace to the peace Of the
country and perpetuity Of free govern
ment.
The Southern Pacific in its last move
emphasizes this tremendous power Of
the railway syndicate and arouses the

ton of the law, even-handed justice Il

SOURCES OF WEALTH.
Finance, Land and transportation the
Main Issues.

4hm Ao8ueos
The three principal matters which
have all to do with the increase Of
wealth in society as at present consti'
tuted are:
The natural bounties upon which
man constantly exercises his faculties
and everything which enables him t.
use them to better advantage.
The means of transporting the pro.
duce Of his labor to all parts Of tbs
earth with ease and cheapness;
And the medium which facilitates eX'
change of commodities between men IL
money.
The study of these three principa;
sources of wealth to the community viii
reveal two facts:
That the people have been as indif
ferent to them as the money-makeri
have been attentive;
And that while the Indifference Of TIT
one accounts for their ever-diminishinI
wages, the attention Of the other &C
counts for their immense fortunes.
1t is from natural bounties that al
wealth Of any community springs.
The land and its resources, the fores
and its riches, the rivers, seas and
oceans with their teeming life are thu
first and only sources Of real wealth
and upon them depend the artificial
values which society gives to the thing
it needs for development.
The laborer is the beginning Of al
social wealth. He is the unit Of value
It is his exertion which creates al
values, and the object of exertion is thu
support of his own life, and the accom-
pllshment Of his own destiny here ant
hereafter as his Creator ordained.
The natural bounties must always
therefore, be open to him in every so
ciety, no matter how complex its or
ganization.-Dr Edward McGlynn, il

that the love OF good woman is the
grandes. thing on earth. The Irish
servant, the young lady and the ancient
maiden were portrayed in manner
that would cause one almost to doubt
that one person could DO doing oil tho
talking.
Mr.. Elliott stands alone as mon.
ologue comedian. He also combines
with it great dramatic talent. which Is
portrayed in every motion on the stage.
The audience responded to every word
and action OF the speaker, and all went
away feeling that 4 pleasant evening

cited III Should Die Tonight" and a

fessor." which showed up TO perfection
