The Drs. llOltzntam are both gradu- ates in optics, and are very careful and conscientious in their work. They have ,ately done some work for one of the PRESS force, and used the utmost care in what was very difficult piece of work, and made very moderate charges. Such work, if done by Los Angeles opticians would have cost several times as much.
 Lieutenant J. H. Weber had a rather , exciting runaway last Tuesday and IS to be congratulated on getting cut of the scrape without serious injuries. lie was driving out south of town and his horse became unmanageable and ran away, overturning the rig and smashing things up generally. Outside of a few slight bruises and general shaking up by being dumped out, the Lieutenant Is none the worse for his experience.
 Damage Claims Sustained
 Last week Judge Torrance at San Diego made ruling that the settlers in this Valley have right to sue the Cali California Development Company for damages sustained by water shortage. This point me out m the controversy
  who brought suit against the California Development Company for crop damages caused by the cOnpany's failure to de- liver water during 1904. The company has claimed that it's organization was so devised, and its contracts so drawn that it could not be sued for such thing as damages by the settlers, but Judge Tor rance fails to find such an anomaly in ( l,,, l,,, al huc ta h. lished amount to about $2O,000. The case was hard fought one and the judges ruling will no doubt have far reaching consequences.
 "OId Acre FoIks''
 The presentation of "Old Acre Folks" at Braclett's Hall Thursday night by Mrs. Srack's Dramatic Club was sue cess in every way. Mrs. Srack certainly has the power of getting the best results obtainable from those she trains for pre- sentng these dramas, and also has rare judgment in selecting those most gifted in that respect cold Acre Folks" was presented blythe younger people, several Of whom had never taken part Tn such work before Mrs. Srack's delineation of the good-hearted but garrulous old housewife was perfect. Miss Luclle Holman and her country beau were true to life. The heavy parts, taken by Miss Dossie Gross and Elmer Peck, were excellently rendered. The hobo william was we'll portrayed by young Mir. Nor rish, and the Deacon and the Squire were good. One of the best sustained characters was that of the old maid by Miss Wales. cold Acre Folks" is an American drama, presenting traits of character on which our national life is founded and teaching wholesome lessons of the highest value. It is rare treat to see such a play presented so true to life as it was done by Mrs. Srack's company.

 The breeze from the south, the Gulf breeze which is such marked feature of our summers, has already begun operations. This is the bre,ze which tempers our hot days and makes endur- able the heated term during our long desert summers. This breeze is friend in need to the Imperialite, and long may it blow.
 The work of completing the office building of Imperial Water Company No. l is going forward rapidly, the second story walls being almost com pleted. This building will add mate rially to the substantial character of the town and will be credit to Water Com pany No. 1. No doubt they will shortly need all this building for their own use. A Real Dramatic Treat
 The people of Imperial had the pleas ure of witnessing a real play last Fri day night when the Dramatic Club presented "Twixt Love and Money" under the management of Grace Powe rs-Srack. Brackett Hall had been fitted up with stage filling the entire width of the building, and the partitions that heretofore interfered with the size of tine hall had been re- moved. A row of electric footlights, drop curtain and a hand-painted back curtain representing the scene as re- and very excellent piece of work, made good fittings to produce the play which was almost too heavy for ama- teurs. However, they managed to please the large audience who seemed to thoroughly appreciate the efforts "f the players. Mrs. Grace Powers'Sack took the leading role that of Lillian Brough, a simple country girl, around whom the play centered. Her acting was real and unaffected, she is thoroughly at home on the stage and in some parts of the play where real acting was required. especially in the last act where she had lost her reason, it was far above the average. She was ably assisted in the leading role by F. R. Grosh who took the part of Herbert Van Alen-her lover and husband. Mir. Grosh made very fine appearance on the stage and took most di fiieut part requiring, from the very beginning intense emotion that never relaxed un- til the very end of the play. He proved equal to the emergency and was ap- plauded generously. Miss Futile and Virgil Shepherd took the comedy parts and kept the house in laughter when ever they appeared. Judge Banta as old Uncle Davy and Mrs. Vickery as Aunt Hannah were perhaps the most pleasing characters of the evening, por- traying as they did the old fisherman and wife whom everyone loved. This is not new work to the Judge we have heard and he really did fine acting. Aunt Hannah was true as life. Roger Webster had very hard part, seem ingly the william, but alright in the end.

Are You NervouaY

The man or woman suffering from
nervousness should seek the compan.
ionship of healthy persons free from
nervousness. The meals ought to be

must, to use a figure of speech, spring
out OF the warm, nervous bed and
plunge into the cold bath Of effort

A good deal Of fraud Is practiced In
selling antique "Kazaks," "Daghes-
tans" and similar rugs, for there are
hardly any of these which are more
than fifteen years old. They are
Jagged" artificially, but you must I'M
derstand nevertheless that these rugs
are we'll made Of the very finest woods,
and the native dyes used are pure
and good. When they have been madc
they are lent in the village to 1.-The
butcher, the baker and the candlestick
maker"-to any one, in fact, in whose
house there is plenty Of traffic. Here
the carpets are trampled upon and
made to look old. They are afterward
washed in a running stream and then
dried in the sun. And by these means
the rugs get an antique complexion
and certain gloss which are much ap-
preciated. What may be called a
genuine "antique'' Is thus manufac-
tured and sold in the bazaar for ten
times or twenty times the price for
which it could be bought in London

FAIR NOTES.
The carriage and farm horses shown
by the Connecticut Agricultural col
lege attracted favorable attention.
There were over 5000 people in
the grand stand the second day, and
many others anxious to get in. 1t is
only a question of time when the
grand stand will have to be enlarged
again.
The present year is the biggest in
attendance in the history of the fair.
Several hundred more railroad tickets
were sold this year than last and more
tickets we're sold at the gate. In
point of receipts the fair is a record
breaker.
One of the features of the last day
was the showing of W. H. Halls fast
three year old mare, Wild Bells, pur
chased in New York last winter. The
mare is a trotter and fine performer
She trotted an exhibition half
paced by running horse, and pleased
