HEMET. Cal, Aug. 24.-George F.
He'll and Miss Emma Wickersheim, two
we'll known young people of Hemet,
were married at the residence Of the
brides sister on Latham avenue Thurs
day evening, Rev. Baab Of the Florida
Methodist Episcopal church officiating.
The wedding was a quiet one, only the
near relatives of the contracting parties
and two or three intimate friends being
present. The groom is one of Hemets
business men and the lady has been en-
gagged as teacher in different schools in
the valley for the past three years.
The recent heavy rainfall in the San
Jacinto mountains has greatly replen-
ished the water supply in the San ia
cinto and Pleasant valley irrigation dis
trict. This district is looked upon as
being one of the most prosperous in the
state, and though it is affected by the
delayed decision, the people are going
right ahead and using every means in
their power to keep the water supply
up to a high standard The district
owns it's plant and water source, and

RIVERSIDE
Meeting Of the Lady Woodmen-Social and

RIVERSIDE, Aug. 24.-Monday night
the Woodman's Circle, the ladies' organ
ization gave an entertainment and So
cial In Woodmen hall partly for the
purpose of securing new members to
Orange Grove, No. 2. Socially the even
ing was voted an unqualified success.
Mrs. 2. T. Brown presided and intro
duced the participants in the musical
and oratorical program. Prof. Burrill
rendered either selection, and
for an encore sang a song with instru-
mental accompaniment. A number of
wee Woodmen gave recitations which
would have done credit to children OF
larger growth. Miss Bannerman ia
vored the audience with a splendid
recitation.
At this juncture the San Bernardino
delegation arrived, composed of Mr..
Cressy, state organizer; Sidney John
son and Mr.. Lockard. Mr.. Cressy was
escorted to the chair by c. ]. Decker
He favored the assemblage with lee
ture on the purpose of the Woodmens $
Circle. Mr.. Strock sang a number of
songs very acceptably. Light refresh
ments were served, and at l o'clock the

REDONDO, Aug. 24.-There are half
a dozen or more energetic expressmen
in this place and they rival the best
efforts of a Chicago hack driver in their
active pursuit of baggage. This after
noon two of the most prominent, c. W.
Henry and Ralph Adams, had clash
over a bit Of prospective business. 1t
is claimed by one party that the other
baggage hustler gave him the lie, at
any rate he went at his contemporary
a la Corbett and planted a big red spot
on his opponents cheek. Deputy Con-
stable Usrey saw the difficulty and
rushed up just in time to call time on the
first round. The two men were taken be-
fore Justice Of the Peace Harrison, and
their case was in process when this let
ter went to mail.
At the Spiritualists camp meeting this
morning Mrs. e. Browning led the med
ium's conference, which was productive
of much interesting discussion. George
w. Carpenter. who was to have deliv-
cred the address of the afternoon, was
unavoidedly absent, and his place was
well filled by the popular medium, Mrs.

hand would be able to have the best
system of the kind in the state. AS it
is, the expense of keeping up the sys-
tenn is met by water tolls and contribu
tions of work by orshardists.
The San Jacinto Valley Republican
club held it's regular meeting in the
assembly hall of the high school in
Hemet Wednesday evening of this week
There were about $50 people present.
The meeting was addressed by w. NJ
Peck of Riverside. This is a union club,
and the enrolment represents the pres
ent strength of the entire valley, which
is not large, considering that this COM
munity gives, usually, very large Re-
publican majority. The Bryan Silver
club at San Jacinto numbers seventy
six members. This does not include any
living outside of the town. A meeting
Is called for tonight at Hemet to organize
a club. and following this. one will be
organized at Winchester. The cause
of silver has some staunch supporters
in this section of the county.
The Hemet high school will open on
the 14th of September. The district
owns the building, very nice two-story
structure, and has one of the most COM
plete laboratories in the county.
