Pomona Paragraphs


POMONA, Aug. 1.-THE Southern Pacific
right of way on White avenue is agar
causing some discussion Owing to fall.
ure to agree between William o. Conner and
the railroad people at the time of the build
ing Of the road, an injunction was served
and to avoid delay the latter obtained q
temporary franchise around the OConnor
property, and now this temporary fran
chise has expired and the oriiginallsuit is
still in the courts. motion was made
by Mr.. Raynes at recent meeting of the
trustees to order the superintendent OF
streets to proceed to tear up the track, but
failed of second, and thus the matter
stands. P. c. Tonner, the attorney for
|OConnor. was present at the meeting
complacently watching the turn of events
and evidently hiding his time.
The board of equalization struck snag
yesterday when endeavoring to place upon
the assessment rolls some property which
they claimed a prominent gentleman In
town had failed to turn in. The attorney
for this property politely Informed the
board that no authority existed in the state
law which permitted cities of the fifth
class, to which class Pomona belongs, to
hadJthe right to raise or lower assessments
already entered. He urged them to call the
attention Of the candidates for state senator
and assemblyman from this district to this
fragrant injustice and pledge them to use
their utmost ability to see that this Is
remedfed and cities OF this class placed
on an equal footing with other cities in the
state In this respect. The board is still
struggling with the proposition of increas-
ing the assessments on the west end Of the
business portion of Second street.
An effort Is being made to curtain the
limits Of this city and a meeting Is called
for next Saturday afternoon to discuss the
matter. The city as 1t now stands contains
about fourteen square miles, and 1t Is pro-
posed to cut this down to about four square
miles or a little more than the territory
at present covered by the free delivery SER
vice. There Is one little hitch in the way,
however. Those who are anxious to get out
want to form a school district to consist of
the present city territory and to thus have
the advantage of the city schools, espec-
tally the high school, without having to pay
any special rates to the city for attend
ance of their children, which would be the
case were they Internationally relegate ed
to rural quarters. There seems to be ltGe
opposition to letting the disgruntled ele-
ment go, but those who are to be left in
the city propose TO run the city schools as
city and don't want any districts thrown
in. They fight shy of any such complica-
tons and want to shake their skirts en-
tirely free of the woud-be seceders. The
main cause Of the trouble appears to be the
question Of taxation In regard to the pro-
posed sewer system.

smirched British Aristocrats

The exposition Of the money-makine
habits of part OF the British aristocracy
which has been made In the course Of the
bankruptcy examination of the truly re.
markable Mr.. Hooley ought not to amaze
anyone In this country. Indeed, as long
ago as the production of Gilbert and sulli.

leading English librettist making good-hu.
mored Jokes about members Of the aristoc.
racy who sold their attendance at the balls
to middle-class people anxious to rise In
society, and also selling their names aA d.
rectors of companies. 1t all seemed to &c
as a matter Of course, and people laughed
at 1t in the Savoy Theater in London and
not quite SO heartily-also In New York
The exposition is painful to Americans be,
cause 1t brings into disrepute noble name
after which we named one Of our states.

Hair Dye and Factory Wages

Mr.. Black. the manager of Days drug
store, High street, Whitechapei, said: ut
is absolutely true that there is a very large
demand for hair dyes among the men
working In the factories and wholesale
houses in this neighborhood. The sale Of
hair dye is brisker during the busy season
of the factories than at any other time
The foreign element in this district and
throughout London is so eager to work at
reduced wage that the Englishman whose
hair Is turning has very little chance. The
slightest suspicion of gray hair is sufficient
to cause the rejection of his application
1t Is a well known thing and great shame
that men who are able-bodied, active, with
experience In the work which they are
seeking are constantly refused because
they are gray heads The bosses are like
the children of biblical notoriety who de-
rided Elisha. We are selling about fifteen
bottles week Just now, but the average
weekly sales during the year would give
higher figure. The men are generally
between IS and 50. but all our clients are
Englishmen." -London Daily Mail.

WAS NOT RUMOR
Who Is Also Alive and Well-The New
Observation-Disclosures Streeter

RIVERSIDE, Aug. 17.-Coroner Sher-
man of this county is still at loss TO know
who the dead man is who died on the South
ern Pacific train near Indio last Monday.
At first it was thought the unfortunate
was Ed Slovenian of Lyons, Iowa, be-
cause business card with that name on
1t was found on the remains. Later It was
learned that Slovenian was at Lyons
alive and we'll, but when he sent word that
he had given his card to a man named o.
Ellsworth Rumor Of Phoenix, Ariz., or
Kansas City, the coroner thought he was
on clue that would lead to the speedy
Identification Of the dead man. A telegram
was sent to Phoenix to find out where
Rumor was and an answer was received
this morning that Rumor was there alive
and well. Another incident which mixes
matters Is that the dead man wore a hat
with Rumor's name on the band. The
coroner has now written to Rumor to find
out to whom he gave or sold his hat. The
coroner has had pictures Of the dead man
taken and the inquest will be held Satur-
day, when It Is expected that some light
will be thrown on the identity of the I'M
fortunate man who has gone to make an
other Of the long list Of victims Of the heat
Of the Colorado desert.

enlistments in the army took fully $50 out
