NOTES

The applicants for the grammar grade
certificates yesterday were j. K. Wilson,

Mrs. A. M. Minthorn, Elsinore; Lydia NJ.
Henry and Mrs. G. Cook. Riverside; Miss
Sidney Vail, South Riverside. The exami-
nation in the primary grade is going on
this week.
Complaint is made of the manner in
which the asphaltum etreets are taken care
Of Many smooth-shod horses slip and
fall after the streets are sprinkled, and
mainly because the sprinkling is dono on
the dirt, which makes the surface of the
asphalt very slippery. One horse yester-
day afternoon, hitched to buggy, fell
three times before it could get its proper
footing 1t is thought it would be much
better to sweep the streets than to sprinkle
them.

He has served in the National Guard for
nearly % years, and is one or the best
drill masters in the state. Bis company
has two Gatling guns. He is thoroughly
conversant with the use OF these wea-
pons, and his knowledge would be OF
great use to the insurgents. Captain
Jones, when seen, admitted that he hao

MED, however. that arrangements had
been made for him to go 10 Cuba. 1t Is
understood that he was offered COM

large quantity of munitions of war, in
cludng several rapldfire guns. The

Lumber men who estimated the probable
loss at $780, 600 state now that the amount

wiped out, the adjoining forest Is now
burning with indications that the entire
county, including the towns and villages
will be devastated unless , rain prevents.
The weather Is still dry, the high shifting
winds continue and the atmosphere Is
sitting with the smoke and heat. The
women and children from the mountain
villages are arranging TO leave their
homes 10 take refuge In the large towns.
As the fires started in several places at the

revenge against the new owners.
AS far as known no lumber men or
other citizens have been caught in the
forests.
