sire to call attention to some of the more
important ones. In my opinion the time
has arrived when the free text book
plan, so successfully in vogue in many
large cities, should prevail in Los An

school education, to be available to all
should be free in every particular. in
cluding the use of text books and all the
materials necessary to obtain it.
Il believe in giving encouragement to
the Inauguration OF system that will

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 1S, 1896.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 13, 1896.
State of California, County of Los An
geles, IS:
Before the undersigned notary public,
within and for the county of Los Ange-
les, state of California, this 18th day
of November, 1896, came Ed. Ehrlich of
lawful age. who by just duty sworn
says:
l live at Mentone, San Bernardino
county, in the state of California I was
troubled for twenty-five years with a
severe case of rupture. During all these
years l have consulted many physi-
clans and have worn many trusses of
many kinds but without any benefit
whatever. BY chance I saw testimoni-
ais from people who were cured of long
standing ruptures through Prof. JOS
Fandry. of S21 South Broadway, Los
Angeles. / made up my mind, as last
resort to see the European Specialist.
On August g. 1896, visited Prof. Fan
dry in regard to my case. He furnish
ed me with his hand made Truss,
(Which is patented), with full instruc-
tions how to use it. ] followed care
fully the directions, and today, three
months after putting on the Fandry
Truss I am perfectly cured of rupture
of twenty-five years standing. On the
11th day of November I again visited
Prof. Fandrey and told him felt that
was cured. He asked me as favor
to go before the most prominent doctors
j. in Los Angeles and let them examine me.
/ was examined by four doctors and
they gave me certificates (Which can
be seen at Prof Fandrey's office) that
was perfectly cured of rupture
In witness whereof I have hereunto
set my hand and seal this 18th day of
November, in the year of our Lord, one
thousand, eight hundred and ninety-six,

HANDSOME CHURCH WINDOW.
At Christ's Church, in Memory of the
First Rector.

stained-glass window of large Ill
mensions has been placed during the
past week in Christ church, Episcopal,
corner of Flower and Pico streets, which
is considered by connoisseurs most
remarkable example of the glass-stain-
er's art. Surrounded by an Intricate pat
tern of fioriated' ornamentation. is the
picture, after Plockhorst, the famous
German artist and rival Of Hoffman,
representing the Good Samaritan as
sisting the wounded Israelite by the way
side. Executed by an artist lately ar
rived from Munich, the old-world skill
has happily been brought to bear in this
well-executed design. The expression Of
countenance, the pose of forms and ar
rangement of draperles, with the life
like flesh tints, etc.. all combine to make
this window a veritable work of art. 1t
ia valuable acquisition to the art treas
ures Of our city. This window has been
placed in loving memory Of the late
Rev. Thomas w. Haskins, d. D., first
rector of Christ church, by his friends
and admirers, and will be seen for the
first time at the services of this day.

4 LIVE ALLIGATOR
Caught on the Outskirts of Town by
 Edgar Ingram.

There can no longer be any doubt about the oft mooted question if there are really any live alligators In these parts. for the capture, ocea- sionnlly. of one of these carniverous reptiles is enough to se. all further argument on that point aside.
 Some time ago two alligator eggs were found q few miles south of town, and during the summer sey- eral parties claimed to have 'seen" aligators in the Arkansas river, but on Saturday. Edger Ingram. who lives at No. 1920 East Fourteenth street, found a real live young alli- gator near the yard of the Pine Bluff Brick Go, on the southern edge of the town. This young alligator measures about forty inches, and is on exhibit at the store of C. Yoss {. Bro.

THE MURDERER OF DR. BEARD BEING TRIED ON A CHANGE OF VENUE FROM LIN.
 COLIN co.
Nearly Q Hundred Witnesses to Be Examined in the
 Case.

The trial of j. Ai. Muse for the kill ing of pr. L. Il. Beard at Yorktown, Lincoln Co.,, is in progress before the Circuit court Of Jefferson County.
 The killing was one of the most open and cold bIooded murders ever seeorded in this part of the State. Dr. Beard was n praetieing physi. elan at Yorktown, and was Il man who bore an excellent reputation.
 It is claimed by the friends of Mr. Muse that Dr, Beard had been circu- lating damaging reports about his daughter.
 Dr. Beard WAS tt q picnic on tho 10th Of Jniv in the vicinity of York town. a1d ie E claimed that he made remarks rellectiug very much ou the character of Mir Musa's daughter. Whether or not such is n fact remains to be shown. Mir. Muse wns informed that snch reports were being circulated by Dr. Beard.
 On Monday the of 3rd Aug ust, Mir. Muse rode Into Yorktown with fl1ie. HaIting In front of Mr. R. 4. McIutire's store, he tiismonnted and tied his horse to tree Dr. Beard was standsng in the front door of the store, with his hands extended 10 either side of the door. On seeing Mir. Muse coming around his horse, with rife in hand, Dr. Beard turned to retreat into the store. afr. Muse raised his rife and sI,el, Dr. Beard fell, with bullet

 These are the facts at present known. It is expected. however, that much testimony will bebrougkt out on each side.
 There are about eighty-nge wit nesses presentand the enseis attract ing great attention.

GLORIOUS.
After an Absence of Several Months, Pine Bluff is Visited by An
 other Rainfall.

The long pf0tfacted dfouth has at last been broken, and the excessive dust of the past few weeks is no more, at least for a period. This (MondaA) morning; between } and 6 o'clock, Pine Bluff and vicinity was visited by Il good dreuching rain. 1t was not a severe one. hut slow, soaking and refreshing downpour. No damage was done to the cotton standing in tEe open fields, 80 the farmers and towns-people are alike delighted.
 The rain also came in the very nick of time for our County Fair, which opens next week, in that it laid the dust and cooled the atmes- phere.
