TIME CHANGED.
Marion County Bond Election will be
held in May instead of March.

The opponents to the bond issue
for the new court house in Marion
county have been very active and
have made their influence so strong
ly felt that the friends Of the meas
ure have become very much ratified
and the plan was sure of defeat. The
objections to the scheme were well
founded and the people opposed to it
were so active that unless the objec-
tions had been met the plan would
not have carried
The county. court has met and af-
ter hearing all the objections have
changed the order for the election so
as to meet all objections. The de-
nominations of the bonds are TO be
500 instead of $500. They are to
be redeemable in five years instead
Of ten. Ten cents on the hundred is
to be the tax to raise the redemp-
ton fund instead of twenty five
The manner of selling the bonds has
been changed and there can be little
objection raised to the plan as it
now stands. The voters may vote
the necessary money to complete
the court house Certain it was
that they would have beaten the old
scheme

SOME BIG CONTRACTS.
A. w. Jones is Doing great deal of
Work in his Line this Spring-Beau-
tifnl Work at the Peabody Something
about the Hustling Merchant and his
Line of Goods.

A. w. Jones the wall paper man
has a number of very important
contracts on hand for the spring
renovation which is now under way.
He is recognized by those competent
to judge as being one of the best
and most artistic paper hangers out
side of the larger cities. His record
speaks for itself on that score Among
the big contracts that he has on
hands now is that of doing the paper
hanging for the Peabody which is
having extensive alterations and
improvements made in that popular
hostelry There are twenty or more
rooms to paper beside the dining
room, office, the halls and the parlor
The last is completed and it is one
of the prettiest examples of the ar
tistic in wall paper ever seen in the
town. Nothing could be prettier
than the parlor as it is now. The
paper is Of the very latest design
and the hanging is perfect The fig
ure in the paper is beautiful and the
whole effect is one of quiet elegance.
Those who are thinking of having
any work done in this line this
spring should see Mr.. Jones and ex-
anime his samples before ordering
their paper He has something to
catch, every fancy at prices which
range so as to suit all

Where, Oh, Where Is DAYTON!

There are quite a number of good
men, candidates for nomination by
the Republicans for congress Mr..
Pitzer will undoubtedly go to the
convention solidly backed by the
eastern panhandle, probably with
other counties either in whole or
part for him. This will give him an
excellent start. Others will gowith
more or less support, and we presume
that Hon. Geo. c. Sturgiss will be
strongly endorsed from his home sec
ton and adjacent counties. This
will narrow the struggle to very
warm, though entirely friendly con-
test between friends of Messrs. Pit
ger and Sturgiss. That is the way
it looks here, though, possibly others
may reason differently Martins

COMPTON, July 30.-We were honored
with a visit by the noted Albert Simpson
this week. He went away 500 ahead. He
gave the name of Albert Jones and nego-
tiated for fine ranch, processing himself
as highly pleased with the place. He did
not need much coaxing to buy, and to bind
the bargain gave a check on San Francisco.
He needed a little change, so wrote his
check for s120, receiving 500 in cash. His
son would soon be here and many other
friends, and they would then buy and i'm
prove many ranches Simpson, alias Jones,
left here, saying he would go to San Pedro
to buy some fine lots before the harbor boom
came on. He posed as high-up Mason and
imposed on the hospitality of one of our
best men and Masons for several days.

STEALING VOTERS
San Francisco's Alleged Attempt to
Secure a Whole Regiment

SAN BERNARDINO, July SO.-Citv Re-
corder ]. d. Faris went north on political
mission nearly two weeks ago. taking with
him the requisite blanks and documents to
swear in for the great register all the mem
bers of the Seventh regiment who belonged
to this county. so that in case the war should
close or the boys remain in the state unit.
after the November election they might be
able to vote. On reaching camp and at
tempting to take the names Mr.. Faris ran
against snag and was told that it required
a notary public and a superior judge to ac-
complish the work. John Brown jr., imme-
diately went up there, and after looking up
real trouble. This was that the San Fran
cisco authorities intended to register all the
boys of the Seventh TO vote in that city. and
this was alleged to be the great trouble in
having the regiment sent to the front. The
regiments from other states could not vote
because they had not been in the state long
enough, but here was thousand men whose
residence in the state was all right, and
their long detention In camp had removed all
other disqualified tons. When the boys got
on to the trick they swore by all the gods of
war and peace that they would not vote in
San Francisco If they were detained there
until the bones were bleaching on the sands
Of that delectable camp. After spending
ten days, the whole of his leave of absence
MIR. Faris and Attorney Brown were COM
PEELED to leave for home. but they obtained
the promise of superior judge of San Fran
cisco that he would go to the camp and regis
ter all the boys from San Bernardino county
and send the lists down in time for placing
on the great register. 1t is by no means q
sure thing that 1t will be done, however.

Pomona Politics

POMONA, July 30.-Politics forms the
absorbing topic here. The Republicans are
very much at sea, owing to recent in
structions issued in regard to the election
of delegates to the state convention. Some
of the would-be slatemakers are endeavor-
ing to form combinations that appear so
grossly absurd that one Is led to believe
that politics are not a part of the stock
in trade of Pomona Republicans. No at
tention is being paid to the lower end of
this senatorial district, and Republican
politicians expect to go into the county
convention with a representation of about
eighteen delegates, or forty-four including
the representatives from the smaller towns
contingent to this place. While the Demo-
Gratis feel confident that the fusion can
didate for recorder will be elected, still
they would like to see Pomona honored
by receiving the nomination for this office
from the opposition, and regret to see such
poor political play on the part of their
fellow citizens. They haven't even awak-
ened to the realization that it requires
more than forty-four votes to elect state
senator in a district that has some 15C
ballots to cast before the issue is settled.
