SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 21.-Fifty.
four members of the grand chapter OF tn Q
Order of the Eastern Star dropped into
this city shortly after IL ocluck this fore
noon, without givin? any notice whatever
OF their coming, but an hour later they
vera IN the dining room of the New St.
Charles, the gues,s of the local members
| of the order, and in an entirely informal
way they were rendered a reception, the
heartiness of which made up for the
speed with which it was prepared.
Ths excuraionists, of whom fiftv we're
lad les, have been in Los Angeles during
the week attending the meeting OF the
grand chapter, and started out this morn
ing, going to Redlands. driving about
that city, ana coming this way by motor
at II o'clock. The first that was known
of their presence was when it was re-
ported to J. l.. Jonas that the party were
at the motor depot eating their lunch.
Mr.. Jonas believes in acting quickly,
and forthwith crossed the street, or
pered the lunch baskets closed, and in
vited the whole party over to the New
St. Charles. Couriers were sent out
bringing in other memb ers OF the order
and Landlord Day was given order to
prepare the best spread possible in forty
five minutes. 1t only needed a view of
the dining room an hour later to show
how we'll he had executed his com mis-
sion.
Mem bers of the order from the city
came IN and altogether il was one OF the
jolliest short order receptions ever partic-
ipated IN by any of those in attendan ce.
There were no formalities. but at the
close of the lunch Mr.. Roe of Oak land
hop u i'm ba
bers OF the societ" in this city for their
open handed hospitality. Maj. f. g.
Prescott of Redlands, who happened to
be in town, was present and responded
briefly in behalf OF the worthy matron.
Mrs. NJ. A. Davis. and the visitors left
for Riverside shortly after l pm.
MAY PAY A DIVIDEND.
There is a possibility that depositors in
the First National bank will soon receive
another dividend. AS yet nothing has
been received from the Washington au-
thorities. but enough Jney has been
collected to make the payment of a 10 per
cent dividend posi- bIe, and in view OF
the fact that it has been some months
since a dividend was paid, it is rather
expected that Com ptroller Eckels will
order one.
When he made his quarterly report Oc-
tobsr LIST. Receiver Brodrick did not
make any recommendation with reference
to the declaring OF dividend, preferring
to leave that to the people at Washington
to determine, but he says that t is quite
possible that payment will be ordered
and the money scattered among those to
whom it belongs.
1t has been hoped by the receiver that
some larger collections woulu nave come
in, and made the payment of at least 20
per cent possible, but the long delays in
connection with court proceedings and
other disappointments have precluded
such posi- billty, and the payment of
10 per cent is thought possible.
Even smaller dividends than this have
been ordered in the case of other banks,
Sometimes as small as per cent has
been paid, when there has been long in
tefval since the payment before. In such
cases the Washington authorities consider
That it is wiser to pay out the money,
to leave creditors with nothing paid to
them. If sucn course is decided upon,
word to that effect from Washington may
be expected at any time.
A WEDDING.
In the presence of their i'm m ediate rela.
tives, Mr.. Frank D. Keller and Miss Ada
r. Vale were married ati1 :a0 yesterday
afternoon. The ceremony was Performed
at the home of the brides parents by
Rev. d. V. Bowen OF Ontario.
At 3:15 Mr.. and Mrs. Keller were driven
to the Santa Fe station and were south
bound to Coronado. where they will stay
for at least a week. Mr.. Kellor has his
house ready for occupancy when they re-
turn, having completely furnInhed a neat
cottage on Sixth street between G and ID.
MIR. Keller and Miss VaIe were among
the most popular young people Of the
fsaSa X al haC
already established a credit and reputa-
ton as business man shat many an old
er merchant might envy. Seven years
ago he entered the EN- ploy of George M.
Cooley and rose steadily. until a year
ago, with Frank Cooley, he leased George
successfully during the year. The bride,
who is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. W.
A. Vale, is quite as popular in a social
way. Her whole life has been spent IN
this city and she is in every way worthy
OF the man who has sought aad won her
hand.

der this afternoon directing the president

chant for one acre of land, together with

NOTES OF THE DAN.
The Santa Fe station at Highland was
broken into by burglars Saturday night,
They obtained little more than SO from
the cash drawer.
Burglars visited Ontario last night,
breaking into L. E. Corpin's drug store
and the South Side cash store. A num-
Der of small articles were stolen, but
nothing of great value is missing.

pointment of receiver for the Desert
Queen mine came mp before Judge
Noyes, sitting il Judge Otis court this
afternoon. James McHaney'n demurrer
was overruied, but by consent Of the at.

up out of court.
