| in the rate of taxation in this county
from $l.65 to 50 leaves people in debt to

| districts where this is not the case. In
| Grapeland ana Vanderbilt the special
| school tax levy is SO much reduced that it
| overcomesssthe raise in the county taxes.
| and in those districts a balance is due
the taxpayers. But in other districts
the balance is the other way. In San
Bernardino city the increase il 81 cents
for $10O.

FORGOT HER DIAMONDS.
| Miss jeanette st. Henry played the
part OF Dora, Lady Lam bourne, at San
Diego Tuesday evening without any Of
the gems which spsrkled on her hands
and in her hair the evening before, when
she made such hit in this city. Indeed,
the singer was very much afraid that the
trip to Southern California might be an
improbable one for her, ana kept the
wires in this city fairly smoking with
messages until the diamonds were To-
Gated.
The Pauline Hall company left town
for San Diego at 1880 Tuesday morning,
and in the rush of the early departure it
seems that Miss st. Henry left a small
handsatchel containing 'steen thousand
dollars worth of diamonds il her room
at the hotel. And, strange as it may
| seem, she did not miss them, o never
even thought ABOUT them until on her
way south Their she became a little ex-
| cited and procession of messenger boys
carried kilograms to the Stewart, inquir-
ing about the missing gems. From every
station south of Riverside Miss St. Henry
in rIrfI Enn ~ RI
tbaththe lost had been found.
| The satchel with its contents was for
warded to San Diego by express Tuesday
| afternoon.
LOOKED LIKE STANLEY
F. G. Randle of the Southern Pacific s
local force, had an amusing experience
in Los Angeles Tuesday evening. Mr..
Randle, who is something of globe trot-
ter him self, bears striking resem blance
to Henry M. Stanley. and in his trans
ocean steamship trips has often bee.,
| taken for the explorer. 1t has been ru-
mored that Henry M. Stanley is on the
coast. travelling "incog,' and some re-
porter who is acquainted with Stanley s
| physiognomy concluded that he had
struck a treasure in the way of news
item when he spied Mr.. Randle in the
Hollen beck. Finally the freight agent
succeeded in convincing the reporter of
| the error of his sight, but the latter was
convinced very much against his will.
