CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
King and Santa Barbara Counties
Getting in Line

Frank L. Dodge of Hanford is endeav-
oring to arrange with the Kings county
people to place a permanent exhibit OF
the products of that section in the LOS
Angeles chamber of commerce. Mr..
Dodge says he has examined the display
made by the state board in San Fran
cisco, and that in the chamber here. and
he does not hesitate to pronounce this
the better place to advertise; in fact.
he says it is the best place he knows
about for that purpose. AS they claim
that the best peaches and grapes in the
state are raised in that locality. and as
their raisins took premiums at the Mid
winter fair and that at Atlanta the dis
play, If it Is made. will not detract from
the general exhibit. The citizens of
Santa Barbara county are also grad
ually making up their minds to get in
line and exhibit here.
Among the late donations are a case
of Eureka lemons raised by kellogg and
Mitchell and displayed by the San Diego
chamber of commerce; very curious
double calla exhibited by Mrs. T. w.
King of this city; Royal apricots and
Blue Damson plums on the branch, by
Prosper L. Suer; and fresh flowers for
decorating the chamber have been sent

THE SEWAGE SUIT
A Verdict Returned for Plaintiff for
S172O

The suit of Thomas E. Cleland against
the South Side Irrigation company
ended yesterday in a victory for the

hour and returned into court with ver-
dict awarding $172O to Cleland. Upon
Attorney Lowenthal demanding a poll,
1t was found the jury stood ten to two.
motion for new trial will. be heard
and in case of the motion being denied
it is quite probable the case will be ap-
pealed to the supreme court, for there
are other interests besides those in this
case at stake. The similar case of A. e.
Thaxtervs. the Irrigation company is set
for hearing next week and the suit of e,
G. Latin VS.. the Irrigation company will
be heard later.
The defenses upon which the present
case has been fought and which most
probably will be common to all three
suits, are: O On account of the pub
lie sentiment existing in the district
where plaintiff resides against sewage
irrigat ton around the church and school,
(2) When the contract was first made
1t was on the express understanding
that plaintiff should not be supplied af-
ter there had been an expression of
opinion in the district against it's use
90 Neighbors were objecting and
threatening injunction proceedings.
CD The sewage is being used in such
way around the school as to be a nui-
sance, and by reason of the bacteria in
1t is menace to health.
But the jury evidently did not take
much stock in the defense.

Makes Charges Against
Her Mother
KITE RANsoM's oFFENsEs
VERDICT RETURNED AGAINST
AN IRRIGATION COMPANY
Mrs. o'Bryan Tells Her Side Of the
Story-The Case Against Scott
Continued

II IL doubtful whether pretty Kittie
Ransom will go to Whittier or not. The
girl is not quite IA years of age, pretty
as a picture and apparently as bright
as a. dollar Yesterday she was brought
before Judge Allen in consequence OF
being "incorrigible, of vicious conduct,
vagrancy and moral depravity," and
for few moments the skittish Kittie
created quite a scene.
Judge Allen is not an unqualified ad-
mirer of the Whittier reform school, and
before committing either boy or girl to
that institution likes to know that the
facts warrant such judicial action. Mrs.
Melissa Ransom, the mother of the girl
testified to living on Waverly drive
Pasadena, and then proceeded to tell
a story of her daughters naughty go
ings-on. According to her account Kit
tie has wandered far from the paths of
rectitude and virtue She is altogether
too fond of what she considers a good
time, and so long as she gets it she cares
little how when or where she gets it.
She stops out nights carousing with the
boys and so her mother alleged, fire.
quently remained away from home all
night.
Truth to tell, the mother gave the
daughter a pretty bad character, but,
save in one particular, her statements
were not corroborated. Constable Sla-
ter testified to having seen Kittie play
ing around with the boys at night, but
beyond that he had little or nothing to
say.
Then Kitties own turn to speak came
and she made the most of it. Judge
Allen desired to know why she would
not remain at home and be good girl
and she replied that she wasn't happy
there and that her mother was living
with a man other than her father and
was no very great shakes herself, any
way. Furthermore, she denied the
charges made by her mother although
she confessed to remaining away from
home as much as she could.
There seemed something very repel-
liant about mother and daughter in
dulging in mutual recriminations, and
Assistant District Attorney Williams
waxed hot at the statements of Miss
Kittie
1.-The idea," he exclaimed, "of little
petit larcenist like her speaking in that
way of her mother!"
THE girl has as much right" inter-
polated the court, ito speak in that way
of her mother as her mother has to
make similar charges against her. We
want to get at the truth in the matter"
Thereupon the case was continued un-
til this morning to permit the summon
ing of witnesses. If it is found that the
frolicsome Kitty has been really
naughty, then she will have to go to
Whittier irrespective of any lapses on
her mothers part, albeit these, if they
truly exist, may palliate the offenses of
the daughter.

WOULD L!K ;
To Claim the Benefit IL True

A gentleman stated that he had gen
tie running off at the bowels shortly af-
ter leaving off coffee and starting in the
use of Postum Cereal.
The makers would not object to claim
ing so desirable feature for Postum,
If the claim could be sustained, for there
Is nothing will do an old coffee drinker
so much good as a free action of that
sort.
But. unfortunately, Postum cannot be
depended upon to produce this result,
as it is composed only of grains, and has
no effect except as very nourishins
liquid food.
The fact is that coffee tends to congest
the liver and prevent its free working.
Therefore, If coffee drinker will quit
the use of it, frequently the congestion
will be relieved and the accumulation of
bile will pass off and clean out the bow
els. Then continue the use of Postum
and keep well. 1t is a pure food drink
and is nourishing and fattening. A
package can be had postpaid for 20 cents
of the Postum Cereal Co., Linn, Battle
Creek, Mich.
