SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 19.-(Reg-
ular Correspondence) Highland is am
bilious to emulate Riverside and Red
lands in the matter of temperance work
and the suppression Of the liquor traffic
The little village is all right. but the
springs. Rabel and Harlem, come within
the jurisdiction of that burg, and as
these are notorious resorts for the gath
ering Of the drunken and for the open
sale Of liquors in defiance OF law and
order, paying neither county nor any
other license, the good people Of High
land are taking action and have organ
ized temperance league of which DR..
Wilmot is president, w. I. Noyes vice
president, Mrs. Austin secretary and ].
H. Bagwill treasurer. Miss Matte
Rohrer has charge of the literary, NIL
eical and social department. The exec
utive and prosecuting committees are
said to be willing and able to perform
the duties required of them.
The city Of San Bernardino is about
to inaugurate a municipal reform and
put to work all the drunks that come
before the recorder and cannot pay their
fine. They will be sentenced to clean up
the streets and vacant lots of the city.
No matter If the lot s private property,
1t Is to be cleaned just the same. This
will have a good effect upon residents
and induce many of them to do little
work of this kind themselves.
Rialto has been nearly depopulated
the past summer from the hegira to the
mountains and coast, but they are COM
ing back rapidly just at present, and
soon social affairs will be in full blast at
that lively little village.
For many weeks Rev. Joachim Jonas,
father Of Joseph l.. and Jacob S. Jonas
of this city, has been gradually failing,
in health, and first the younger brother
was called to San Francisco to his bed
side and a week ago the Oldest brother
was called. Late Saturday night the
telephone brought the news that the
end had come for the sufferer. The de-
ceased was &c years of age and came to
this country from Rogason, Province Of
Posen, Prussia, in 1885,

a4dl. HaTGX Klehaafrdds of Redlands, whose
husband is accused Of trying to railroad
her into the asylum, has many friends in
this city who side with the plucky little
woman In her fight for life and free
dom against the power Of money and
her husbands wish to dispose of her for
certain reasons that are not made
known to his friends as they should be.
She has just been released from the
county hospital, placed there prelimiu-
ary to a move by the husband to shut
her up for life at the asylum, and going
back to her home resides at the hotel
where her husband is proprietor. Satur-
day her husband went to her room and
soon there were sounds of an affray,
and when the clerk tried to interfere he
was thrown ignominiously out, follow
ed by the husband, at the hands Of the
enraged woman. She is evidently sane
enough to protect herself.
The report that Receiver VIII. Brod-
rick of the First National bank was 10
pay another dividend to the depositors
is denied by him. He says it is post
poned, "it may be for years and it may
be forever" 1t looks as if it would take
all the available assets to pay the sal
ary Of the receiver and his assistant if
allowed to run on few years longer.
