A Dress Goods Argument
AND SOME PRICES.

80 W. - )''ia- ~ Oi-O.
Plain fabrics-coVerts, Nenetians,
poplins, whipcords, and the like,
are in great demand this year by
women of fine taste. But plain
goods call for a care in the buying.
Be sure, first of all, of the quality
therein lies the beauty. Very
low priced dress goods have their
uses, but avoid them in plain
weaves. This group will give safe
and good selection
Plain color Poplins, 81 to SITS
Mixed color PopIinS, 81 Is to ST. 80
Covert Cloths, 81 to Sl.75
Whipcord CovertS, Sl.25 to Sl.75
There will be need for dresses of
rather rougher weave, for outing at
least; many will choose them for
all wear. So here are the Cheviots
and Serges. 75c to S1.75, and
fancy WeaVes from 3713c.
BLACK GOODS-High in favor,
fair in price, and good black dress
is useful till the last of it is gone.
Fashion and popular favor center
on blacks this year.
Al-Silk Grenadines start at 1915.
Atwood ChalliS, SIC to Sl.25.
Atwood Examines, 25c to SIPS
Plain MohairS, 2Sc to 81.
Silk -and-wool Hernanis ST. 25 to So.
Summer SergeS, 2Sc to Sl.2j.

REDONDO, Oct 9.-George T. voolfolk,
while going to his work at the Redondo

dropped dead in the street Of heart failure.
Mr.. voolfolk came to Redomdo from Ari-

ture and called for help. ne!ghbor,

DAVIS BREAKS LOOSE
A REPUBLICAN MEETING AT
POMONA BADLY FROSTED
The Minnesota Blizzard Does the
Waters Act-Union Forces to
Hold a Meeting

POMONA, Oct. 9.-The Republicans
opened their campaign in this city last
night and held a well-attended meeting
at the Opera house. Several candidates for
county and district offices were present
and made short addresses. Charles Bell,
the candidate for county clerk, got Off his
old yarn about blowing a ten-acre field
With the exception Of Hammel and Jones,
the candidates did not make as favorable
an impression as might have been ex-
pected.
Frank Davis, the orator Of the evening,
was a disappointment to the public and to
his party. He dealt altogether with the
late war and claimed fl as strictly Re-
publican one, stating that to Mckinley
was due the credit of killing the Spaniards.
and to the Democrats the responsibility of
the deaths on the American side. He read
from the Washington Times an editorial In
support of his assertion that it was Re-
publican war, and stated that the paper IN
question was Democratic sheet.
But the remark that caused the cold
chills to run down the back of the Repub-
leans and a spasm of Indignation to rise
in the breasts of all true Americans pres
ent was q statement in regard to the late
war and the issues involved, when he said
that whenever Democrat gets his second
wind he loses his patriotism" This sweep
ing statement lost him the sympaohieS OF
the audience, and a number of people began
to leave the building.
He called Congressman Bailey's and Ma
CURES patriotism into question; said they
voted unanimously for the $50, 000. 600 appro-
priation, but soon got their second wind
and threw impediments in tho way of the
successful conduct of the war. He received
few plaudits from the audience, the en-
enlargement coming from the vice presi-
dents.
The union forces, under the management
of the Mcguire club, will hold club meetings
every Friday evening hereafter, and cam
paign meetings at the Armory Opera house
every Saturday evening. Next Saturday
evening Hon. George S. Patton is expected
to speak, and will be requested, among
more important statements, to answer
Davis statements in regard to the war and

When Bismarck Played Cousin

The following is a story on Bismarck
for which an aged Swedish lady is the au-
thority. Nearly sixty years ago, when
girl, she went to Berlin, where she ex.
pected to meet a cousin, then studying at
the university there. The cousin appeared,
and proved to be fascinating youth, For
several days he was constant escort and
a charming companion.
1t was only when she was on the eve
of departure that he made the explanation.
"You see, my dear cousin, am not your
cousin. My friend, your cousin, is so very
busy prepa ring for an examination that
he has asked me to take his place. My
name is Otto Won Bismarck" In 1886, when
the lady made her next visit to Berlin,
she called on the chancellor, who re-
marked: II have to thank you that I
once succeeded in seeing the Berlin muse
ums have never seen them again.

LONG BEACH IMPROVEMENTS
Bouton Water System-Good Fishing.

LONG BEACH, Oct. s.-The Bouton
water system, under the management of
Thomas Stovell, has laid many Thousand
feet OF pipe the past season, and made hun
dreds Of connections with places hitherto
supplied by the Long Beach Development
company. The water Is under good pres
sure, and with the large two-foot mains
which the company intend to put in soon
will be sufficient to give force to throw a
stream over the highest building in town,
thus affording ample fire protection.
The good fishing that was prevalent two
years ago at this time Is "again on" at the
wharf, and is the principal drawing attrac-
ton at present. Yellowtail, halibut of the
larger variety, and sea trout, herring,
mackerel, sculpn of the smaller-variet.es
have been plentiful OF sardines there has
been no end, the California Fishing COM
psny's boat Alpha catching more bn three

there are others.

European Walnuts
| John Cubbon Of Santa Ana, who re-
Gently returned from trip to Europe, in
an interview the other day, gave a very in
teresting talk on the walnut situation In
the old country. He visited the principal
walnut growing section Of France, and was
surprised to find nuts growing all the way
up to Lake Geneva, Switzerland, but says
he saw no young orchards and but one
small walnut nursery. He found that
nearly all of the trees were very old, some
over 100 years, and the trunks Of many OF
these trees were two and one-half feet
through. But few orchards are cultivated
unless to plant crops between the trees.
On account Of the grass growing In the
orchards, nuts are d.scolored. and have to
be washed, but are never bleached with
sulphur. They principal walnut section is
not at GrenobIes, but San Marcellan. about
forty miles from Grenobles, where the trees
are planted from 40 to SO feet apart The
crop Is light this year, being about 30 pei
cent of that of last year. and will sell at
home for 6k cents pound. To lay Their
walnuts down In the United States It would
cost from 91a to 10 cents per pound, Naples
nuts sell at Liverpool for 6h cents pound
He saw many places where few scatter
ing trees appeared to do well, but did not
see any large orchards. The trees had nc
black rot or other disease The area OF
walnut culture in France, he thinks, is moi
equal to that Of Southern California, ane
he says we need have no fear Of the foreign
walnut growers taking the marke'
of this country from the walnut growers Of
Southern California.

Cut Up the Wrong Hat

A Scotch university professor, irritat-
ed to find that his students had got into
the habit of placing their hats and canes on
his desk, instead of In the cloak room, an
nounced that the next article of the kind
placed there would be destroyed. Some
days later the professor was called for
moment from the class room. A student
slipped into his private room and emerged
with the professors hat, which he placed
conspicuously on the desk, while his fell
lows grinned and trembled. The professor,
on returning, saw the hat, thought some
rashly obstinate student had been deliv-
cred into his hands, and, taking out his
knife. he cut the offending article to
pieces, while vainly attempting to con-
ceal the smile of triumph that played about
his countenance. He was in a very bad
temper the next day.-Pittsburg News.

Getting in on a Good Thing

The British manufacturers are not sem
timentaists. They do business for the
money they can make out of it. This will
account for the determination of Welsh

United States. Here they can get or make
cheaper black plates than they can obtain
in Wales, and they will have the opportu-
