A FAMILY OF GROCERS
The Spread of tho Yerxas Over



Male children in the Yerxa family are
born to the grocery business as male chill
dren in other families and lands are born
to estates, titles or the purple itself. To be
a successful grocer and rise to eminence
and fame In that avocaton is the summit Of
every male Yerxa's ambition. Beginning
at Boston, the Yerxa stores are planted in
pleasant places all the way across the con-
tinent. There are many Yerxas and many
stores. The Los Angeles Yerxa himself
has stores in st. Paul, Minneapolis and Far
go, N. D., as we'll as the one in Los An
geles. He also has, it may be said. paren-
thetically. fine fruit ranch in the Cahuen-
ga valley, three and a half miles west of
this city. with a $4,000 residence on 1t,
which he built himself, in which he takes
great satisfaction and pride. The store
here is not very old yet, but, like the others,
1t is growing rapidly In size and Importance,
and already, like them, is crowding its
rivals for first place. Only little while
ago 1t was getting its first start on Main
street; soon it was on Broadway, in bet
ter location and better room-the corner
room in the Byrne block. Recently it has
added to itself the store formerly occupied
by Parry, the confectioner and doubled its
size. How soon it will occupy the whole
block no man can tell, but. from the prog
ress already made, 1t Looks as II that time
were not so extremely distant The pres
emit store Is fine one. and the way II Is
thronged by buyers every hour of the day
indicates that It is as popular as It Is fine

TO THE OMAHA EXHIBIT
Visitors at the Chamber of Commerce
in July-Special Attractions at
Exposition Draw Crowds

Though the chamber of commerce did
its level best to induce the whole state OF
California to cooperate in an exhibit at
the Transmississippi exposition at Omaha,
and failed 1t seems the viticulturists and
wine shippers of San Francisco are at
this late day setting up a growl at the
Los Angeles county exhibit. In recent
issue of the Chronicle the wine men COM
plain that they have little or no representa-
ton there, when there has been 100000 Wis
itors in attendance and the number is
expected to reach 100000 before the show
closes. The article goes on to say:
How California is represented at Omaha
may be judged by the fact that H. Jevne,
grocer of Los Angeles, and H. ]. Woolla-
colt, banker, are the only exhibitors of
California Wines
This criticism, which is the first heard
CT our exhibit. Secretary Virgins considers
very much like a case Of sour grapes.

G. Sormano are the dealers represented in
a display covering $40 square feet of wall
space.
After the northern part of the state re-
fused to combine with the SOUTH it still

display 1t chose by paying one dollar a

ers and shippers of the north will not be

selves" when the results of the advertiser z
this county receives at Omaha are reck-
oned up.
Yesterday was a red letter day for Wis
itors at the chamber of commerce, the spe-
cial attraction probably being the freak
orange described in The Herald several
days ago. The number of visitors for the
month of July were 10000, and 80 per cent
contributed articles to the exhibit room
letter from 2. T. Lindsay, manager of
the department of ways and means of the
Omaha exposition, to George W. Parsons,
speaks of the special attractions at the
exposition. A 1-cent per mile rate on the
railroads for a distance of 200 miles had
been made for flower day and Indian day,
August 4. Thirty-five tribes were repre-
sented by 800 Indians, which, with the
Mexican band, were expected to attract
thousands of people. He continues: 1--WE

that we have placed a gate al the east end

He DISCHARGED HER
Mrs. Helen Shaw Escapes on Slight
Technicality

Mrs. Helen M. Shaw was discharged by
Justice Owens yesterday. She had been
examined on charge Of passing fictitious
note on w. H. Woodham. Her attorney,
]. r. Rush, made the contention that,
while the woman had given the note which
was fictitious, no property or money had
passed between her and the woodlands In
exchange for it. She had merely handed
them the note calling for $500, as security
for a bill Of $500 contracted for room rent
and various sums they had paid out for
her. This note had been signed by couple
named Johnson, who were alleged to re-
side in San Bernardino. 1t was proved that
these parties did not exist and that the
note had been an invention entirely of
Mrs. Shaw.
Judge Owens said that had there been
really such persons as the Johnsons, the
woman could have been held for forgery,
but, as they did not exist, this charge could
