ARE IN COMPLETE HARMONY

Abnormal Weather

RIVERSIDE, Aug. 13.-There Is lull In
politics today after the double convention
of yesterday. The Democrats were here in
force yesterday from all parts Of the coun-
ty, and the convention was one of the most
enthusiastic ever held by that party In this
county. There are a few Democrats in the
county who are opposed to Joining with the
Popuists, but their number is SO small that
their opposition will have no effect In tho
campaign. Fridays convention was har-
monious and the work of the convention
was turned off with a will. The convention
highly euogized James G. Mcguire for the
great work he has done for the people Ia
congress- and the delegation elected to rep
resent the party of the county in the state
convention was rigidly Instructed to cast
their votes for Mcguire for nominee for
governor. Mcguire will poll the largest
vote for the party ever cast in the county.
The good work of Congressman Castle
called for the commentator of the con-
vention also. Mr.. Castle is strong in this
county, and if nominated will receive
large vote from Riverside.
No date was fixed for the calling Of the
county convention to nominate "a county
ticket, but the convention will in all proba-
biiAly NC Htlu at dDOul TIE uluul0
of the coming month.
Riverside Brevities
Some time ago the Santa Fe and Southern
Pacific dismissed the two fiagmen who
have been employed by them at the cross
ngs on East Seventh and Eighth streets,
and now the city authorities want to know
why this was done. When the companies
were instructed to either place fiagmen at
the crossings named or else put UP gates.
they said they would rather maintain flag
men. To this plan the city agreed. and It
was supposed that the fiagmen were to be
kept there permanently. Steps will be
taken to have them replaced.
Sheriff Dickson went to Temescal today
for the purpose of placing an attachment
on large quantity Of wool, the property OF
Jean Alice, who has been sued by Los
Angeles party named hosane Ravael for a
large sum of money.
The past four days have been the hottest
ever experienced in this city. The ther-
mometer has ranged from los to ia degrees,
and the prospects are fer continuation OF
the heated spell. Yesterday was the hot
test day. While the thermometer did not
reach any higher point than on the two
previous days, there was SO much humidity
in the atmosphere that II was about all
the natives could do to live at all during the
middle of the day.

Osborn, rising young novelist of Brook

as "a Story of the Old South" Both are

pose also to give an extended, true picture

ness incident to loves course, the hero ana
heroine are made to marry and live happily
In the stereotyped style. Gossips of the
southern set in Brooklyn predict that such
will be the fate of the or!s.rals, although
Miss Osborn emphatica.iy denies the per-

THE SUGAR FACTORY
Several Noticeable Improvements.
New School Building


LOS ALAMITOs, Aug. 1S-Beets are
ripening rapidly and Superintendent G. s.
Dyer at the sugar factory has posted no.
tices that beet hauling will begin August o.
It Is expected the factory will start up
few days before that to run off the mo
lasses left in the tanks from last seasons
run.
The noticeable improvements from last
year are the doubling of the capacity of
the beet sheds and the sugar warehouse;
also more than doubling the capacity Of
the pulp silo. Extending the full length of
the silo is an elevated cable railway for
the transportation of pulp from the fac
tory to the stlo, upon which cars will run
every seven minutes. Upon a new siding
put in by the railroad company is new

for the supply of oil for the operation of
the factory. This item of expense, the cost

Dyer & Co., who designed and supplied all
the machinery from their works in Cleve-

last season demonstrated that they stand
at the head as the most successful builders
Of beet sugar machinery. The Clark Bros.
are convinced that they have the model

abroad for beet sugar machinery is thus
refuted and should be forever silenced.
The doubled capacity of the factory will
require much larger force of men than
last season and applications for positions
are now being received by Superintendent
Dyer.

Water however, is the leading and absorb
ing topic. After hearing the report of
the committee previously appointed the
council decided to get the propositions for
sale from those having water developed as
we'll as the Pickering Land and Water
company, which has always owned the
only water works in Whittier. By bond
ing the city for $4,000 Whittier can buy all
the water 1t wants and the plant of the
present water works, with a greatly i'm
proved system of supply, fire protection
and irrigation. Whittierites are unani-
mousy in favor Of city ownership. An
election will no doubt soon be called to vote
upon the bonds.

The trustees of the state school held a
meeting at the school this week, al which

who was called, said were those of strych-
nine poisoning. The other boys had no
sickness at all. George soon died in
great agony. At the inquest It was found
that he, alone by himself, was playing in
corner of the garden where the contents Of
bottle of the poison lay scattered about
on the ground and in a big box. His
brothers did not go there. 1t is supposed
he got some poison on his hands or under
the finger nails, and then got this in his
melon. The Mongolian was a great friend
of the little fellow, and nothing in the
faintest degree showed his culpability or
any criminal intent.
