People
A Solution Of the Street Car Question Expected
very Soon -Personai and Social
Notes

SANTA ANA, March 10.--There was q
storm Of what seemed to be ashes here
this evening about o'clock, lasting
fully ten minutes. At one time the
little white soft particles we're 80 thick
ss to bring out the exclamation
"Snow!" from many passers-by. But
the temperature was so mild that the
observer knew at once that the falling
particles must be something else.
There was no large fire near the city,
but strong wind from the desert blew
most of the day. II the falling par
ticles we're not ashes, then considera.
BILE mystery surrounds the phenome-
non, and even if ashes, it is not known
from what source it came. Hundreds
of people here witnessed the phenome-
non.
Messrs. Daft, Cullen, Mccormack
and Ryan, capitalists, who have been
looking at the street Car line. have
been heard from, and President Bundy
of the street company has made them
proposals as to terms. 1t is expected
to be known tomorrow If the city is to
have an electric railway.
AL Frederick, who has bDen here on
business some time, will return to San
Francisco tomorrow.
The Garden Grove Farmers club
will, at its meeting Friday night, the
Goth, discuss the woman suffrage ques.
ton. As the opposition ia provided
with four OF the most noted orators in
that neck of the woods the ladies' men
have extended an invitation to the
Orange County Woman Suffrage club
to assist them in the debate. Deputy
Clerk Billy Beckett, noted equal
suffragist, says their cause is lost ex-
cept the ladies come TO their rescue.
J. S. Clark, now of San Francisco, is
here among bis old friends. He is state
organizer of the labor exchange and
will be here on that business about ten
days.
Dwight Whiting, the great land
owner of Ell Toro, was in the city to.
day. He is preparing to issue pam
phlet descriptive of his favored Sec
ton and thereby induce immigration.
Mr.. Frost is planting 200 acres OF
olives at Ell Toro. G. w. Stevens OF
that place says that everything is look
ing fine there since the rains, every
one busy and anticipating better
times.
Mrs. Potter. wife of Supervisor Pot
ter of Anaheim, died Sunday night
somewhat suddenly. She had been
under treatment in Los Angeles for
some ear trouble and after return took
cold which resulted in her death.

Field Day-Notes


Railroad Franchises Denied-A Y. M. c. A.
Field Day-Notes
RIVERSIDE, March 10.-No franchises
we're granted at the meeting of the
trustees today. There were several
petitions presented, signed by more
than 400 people, protesting against
granting further railroad franchises
through the central portion of the city
The whole matter went over for one
week. j. j. Hewitt, NJ. j. Daniels and
Geo. N. Reynolds were appointed citi-
zens' comm ittee to whom shout be
referred the petitions of the citizens,
and the committee to confer with the
railroads as to making joint arrange
ments to run in over the came street.
Saturday afternoon of this week the
representative teams from the Y. M. G.
A. of Southern California will meet in
Riverside at the Wheelmen park to de-
eide the all-round athletic champion
chip of the Southern California asso-
Citations. The contest will be what is
known as the pentathlon, consisting of
the 100-yard dash, 12-pound hammer
throw, running high jump, pole vault
and one mile run. The man and team
making the highest score will be de-
clared the champions. In addition to
the pentathlon contest a number of
open events will be added 80 that a
fine afternoons sport will be assured.
w. L. Scott, eX-constabie, having sue
ceeded in securing his claim against
the county for fees in makingA certain
arrest, amounting to $26750, others
will doubtless commence action for the
collection of similar claims which have
been rejected by the board OF super
visors. Justice Reeder and Constable
Trujillo of East Riverside are the next
to sue for their claims. The courts
will doubtless be considerably bur-
dened with these suits in the near flu
ture and possibly the county will have
great deal to pay in costs.
L. G. Attrill leaves for Los Angeles
today to make that his home and place
of business. That he had made many
warm friends during his stay in River
side was evidenced last Saturday even
ing when a number OF them rendered
him supper at Hudson 4 Younkin's,
and as further testimonial of friend
ship presented him with beautiful
gold watch, on the inside case of which
was neatly engraved, TO Ted from

Quon Linn, middle-aged Chipaman,

day night hanging dead, suspended

CURING CURES TOBACCO HABIT

Drunkards are cursed with craving, gnawins
appetite for alcoholic drink. which appetite they
frequently has an inherited predisposition as a
constitutional cause and with such the hereditary
vice IS easily aroused TO activity and becomes an
irresistible controlling influence
1t Is not civilized mans natural disposition to re-
TO satisfy his desire for drink Such, however, Is
the case with dipsomaniacs. The periodical drunk
as he INDUCES but seldom. and allows the system
time TO recover by eliminating the poison before 1t
has time to cause tissue injuries
Although such men sometimes go to terrible ex-
cesses, IN some instances prolonging The cebauch

entirely on the liquor for ament
c,, men gonn.nes OF FOOD are ingesteh etsr

poisonous effect Of ME liqnor and therefore tend.
FOR food Is completely suppressed by the liquor,
the system is left unprotected 70 the mercy of the
ALCOHOL and the nervous organs receive the full
effects Ut the stimulan.
. Many persons in the prime of life persuade
themselves that moderate use of liquor taken
regularly, even on an empty stomach will cause
no detrimental results. as they experience no i'm
mediate disagreesble symptoms Many will even
claim that their systems demand the stimulus and
shat marked benefits follow its use.
NO more fallacous deceptive idea be
tertaned by healthy man. The system, it is
true becomes habituated 10 the abuse as it does to
She narcotic poisons- opum, haschsh, choral or

The system IN such cases has from long abus,
become changed and demands its regular poison
70 sustain the abnormal standard created by the
liquor. With hope and all the finer emotions and
senslbilities crushed the victims of the liquor
habit are only capable Of causing tears and shame
to all connected with them. No higher mission
comes to the medical man-no greater credit
attach to mis- skill-than to find treatment that
can stay this torrent o. misery that flows so re-
lentlessy over Its bed of human hearts "
Even more than alcohol, the opium habit holds
