apartments the monkey got hold Of
a quart of whisky and consumed most
of 1t. He then made his way to the

ants went to the roof, but Consul just
snickered at them and jumped from
the roof twenty feet to the ground.
with another wild yell he flew at the
cashiers cage Of the infant incubator
house, and grabbing the ticket roll by
the loose end rushed IN the Dreamland
promenade, scattering the visitors in
all directions. When he came to the
end Of the ticket roll he turned in his
tracks and, tearing the pasteboards off
one by one. started to distribute them
to the crowd. 1t was this that led to
his capture, for Tom Talon, the stage
manager for Bostock, went up to him
to take a ticket and, grabbing him un-
der the collar, placed him under ar
rest.
But Consul would not have lasted
long on his feet, for the amount Of
whisky he had stored away was get
ting the best of him.

SAN BBRNARDINO, Aug. 1s.-Two
Illegal liquor joints at Declez were
raided last night at midnight by Sheriff
]. G. Ralphs and Deputies McNabb and
Ward. AS result Rosslta Pyruse and
Frank Musseau must answer to the
court tomorrow.
For some time the officers have been
convinced that illegal liquor seelling
was being carried on at the Declez
wineries, and last night determined to
make raid. They left this city in a
carriage at o'clock and soon after ar
rlving at Declez gathered sufficient evil
dence to warrant convictions.
One of the deputies who was not
known to the keepers of the joints
readily purchased liquor when he made
his appearance, pleading that he was
chilly and wanted something to warm
himself up.
AS result of the liquor that is sold
at Declez drunken rows and cutting
affairs are of frequent occurrence there,
and 1t was but a few months ago a
murder there was directly traceable to
that cause, and Sheriff Ralph deter
mined to stop the illegal traffic II pos
sible.

been organized in this city by capital
lists Of this city, Los Angeles, Pasa-

1t will be improved, trees planted and

The complainant is stationary en-
gineer.
File Suit Against City
A strange suit has been filed against
the city of San Bernardino by Mrs.
Emma Morse and Ezra Crossman Of
Los Angeles in the superior court of
that county. They are the assignees
of claims amounting to s34. .S60.16, the
balance alleged to be still due on the
contract. price of a sewer system built
in this city in 1888. Something over
$50, 900 was paid on the sewers, but ow-
ing to legal technicalities 1t was impos-
sible to collect the balance.
The plaintiffs in this suit admit the
illegality of the proceedings leading up
to the construction of the sewers sys-
tenn, but allege that as 1t never was
entirely paid for the title has never
passed to the city Of San Bernardino
and therefore the city is liable for rent
for use of the system or that portion Of
1t unpaid for. The rental asked Is
$217s.76 per annum or total to date
of $34, ,S6016, the exact amount still due
on the contract. The city will fight the
case to a finish.

in g recent issue of the Columbia

reason 10 the over ~helmiDg de

graduation to both Democratic and
Republicans. He seems to see in
the misty smoke of the recent bat. ;.
tie of ballots the outlines of 'Cuffy"

to overthrow Southern institutions as
they existed before the war and now
ex,sts. He thinks 1.-The Republican

fol to the Democracy ''for saving the
civilization of the South" and the
Democrats for perpstustinR the doc
tine of white Supremacy" The
Georgis Senator's views makes
pretty good reading matter and as
far 80 theory goes is sound Demo
cratic doctrine. But to come down
to real facts the civilization OF the
South has at no time since about the
yesr 1896 been endangered. The
..civil,zstion of the South always has
and always will be able to take care
of itself with or without Federal
interference, because, according to
sll the laws Of nature the civil.
zation of the Anglo-Ssxon will
be preserved at all hazards. This
