POMONA.

Mrs. A. G. Smith returned Satur-
day from her usual summer outing
in New Hampshire and will soon re-
open her pretty home, closed since
early in May,
The G. A. r. held its first social
dinner of the season Saturday, and
although the number was small the
time was spent very pleasantly. At
ter the excellent dinner was dis
patched, Mr.. o. S. Rendrick, who
was commander for the day, brought
a nicely arranged program before the
guests. Addresses were made by
Hon. w. H. Cook and Rev. Edward
Bull, and Mr.. q. /. Rogers read some
very amusing selections from Peck's
Bad Boy. Music was contributed
by Miss Emma Olmstead and Mrs.
CORTLAND Middleton. The comrades
extend Il cordial invitation to their
friends and strangers interested in
the G. A. r. to meet with them at
their next meeting, which will be on
the second Saturday in November.
Pomona is undoubtedly booming.
Numerous new dwellings are going
up, some already rented to tourists,
who will take them as soon as they
are in living order. 1t is thought
that there will be more people here
this winter than ever before in the
history of the town.
The school continues to increase,
having now about 30 pupils, and the
need of an assistant teacher is very
evident.
The new commissary was opened
Saturday night although not entirely
finished, but a few days will find it
in full business condition.

| The town council at its meeting
last week passed dog ordinance
which puts license of 81 per year
on all dogs, male, female, flee, mix
ed blood and thoroughbreds indis-
criminately. Dogs found on the
streets without the license tag are to
be shut in pound, advertised TOR
three days and then sold or killed.
Mayor Sprague has not yet approved
the ordinance, he being of the opin-
ion that it is not within the power of
the council to enact q license tax
law on any object not specially de-
fined in the law covering towns or
ganized under the general charter.
Without DIR. Sprague's approval the
law will probably not 20 into effect
Crescent City has its full quota of
dogs, and should this law become
operative there would be music in
the air all along the line. The ma
iority of people are probably in SYM
pathy with the object of the ordi-
nance and are hoping that it may be
found legal.
A Josselyn is dead at his home, On
set, Mass. This fact is all that was
known here as this issue goes to
press. His death occurred some two
weeks ago, and just as he was pre-
pairing to return to Crescent City
which has been his winter home
since 1878, and where he was univer-
sally esteemed for his genial nature.
Last winter Mr.. Josselyn was quite
i'll and for long time it was thought
he could not recover, but lie did
rally and was able to leave for his
northern home where he continued
for time to improve. He was an
old man and without family of his
own, having never married. He
was Federal soldier during the
civil war attached to the musical
corps. He was one of the sweetest
tempered men it has ever been our
good fortune to know and his cheer
fulness did not forsake him in the
time of his greatest suffering. He
scattered sunshine all along the
pathway of long life and many
have been made better through con-
tact with his genial soul. May he
rest in peace.

Our Hotel Facilities.

There will more than likely be a
large number of visitors in Crescent
City the coming winter and many at
u distance are already making enqui-
ny regarding our hotel accommoda-
tions, while others preferring house,
keeping, are looking for rooms, flats
aud furnished houses.
Grove Hall, our largest hotel, will
accommodate from so to 20 guests
without crowding. This house is
kept by VIM. G. Norton and is always
well patronized during the tourist
season. 1t is clean, well-kept
house with light, airy rooms, many
of which open on broad verandas.
Crescent Inn will accommodate
from 2O.to 30 guests. This house is
now kept by Mrs. DR.. G F. Sprague
and has come into popular favor very
rapidly under her liberal manage
ment. The house overlooks the lake
Its rooms are absolutely clean and
the table bountifully supplied with
food cooked and prepared in an APP
petizing manner The rates are
moderate.
The Southfield will probably be
opened this year under the same
management as during the past two
seasons. This house is elegantly fur
nished and it's table is the best. The
prices rule little higher than at the
other hotels. 1t will accommodate
about the same number as Crescent
Inu.
The Burton House is a well-kept,
clean and comfortable boarding

f. s. Cone has a new advertise
ment this week which calls special
attention to big line of shoes for
men, women and children Just
received at his store, and which are
selling at from 81 to 81 per rair.
That means shoes to fit all sized
pockets and all sized feet. There is
also new line of trunks, and what
will especially interest men-a line
of fall suits at $40 the suit which can
not be bought in cities under $12.50.
These suits are of the dark blue serge
variety, well made, of genteel APP
pearance and of latest cut. Mr.. Cone
is local agent for the well-known
Sweet, Orr & Co. S overalls and shirts,
leaders the world over for work
ing men. This store is now filled
with new goods in all lines, and
prices are low.
The Omega mills were closed down
a part of last week owing to break
in the machinery. These mills give
employment to large force of men,
and the little town presents a busy
scene when the mill is in operation.
The trip there and back on Capt.
Pigue's launch, which leaves at 1880
each morning and returns at noon,
is pleasant ride. A. r. Squier,
proprietor of the mill, states that
Mr.. Deem has offered to donate an
acre of ground for school purposes
and that he will donate the lumber
for the building. 1t is probable that
the officials of st. Johns county will,
therefore, soon establish school at
this place. There are some 10 or Is
white children OF school age residing
in the village.
The Ladies Aid Society of the
Presbyterian church was entertained
royalty on Wednesday afternoon of
last week by Mrs. X. Borsen. This
society of ladies has accomplished
much in the matter of keeping up
the temporal affairs of the church
and is even now planning the expen-
sive task of securing new bell to
replace that now in the bell tower
of the church and which was crack
ed about one year ago. That these
ladies have set out to secure new
bell means success. During the past
year the society has contributed $25
to the PASTORS salary; paid out $40 for
new church lamps; paid $l2 for
sweeping and SO for cleaning the
church and has spent some SIT for
interior work on the parsonage. On
ly u year before the society pur-
chased u new carpet for the church.
When you read about ladies aid
meeting out some afternoon being
with waters and ice
cream make up yonr mind these
same ladies are plotting some good
work over their cream. The News
wishes the society success in its
efforts for q new bell. The old one
with its sweet tone is greatly missed

HIS VENTURE FAILS
EarI's Search for Buried Treas.
ure Is Vain

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb 4.-In a
report TO the state department, Minis
ter Barrett, at Panama, shows up what
ne describes as the utter falsity of the
reports regarding the expedition to
Cocos island of Earl Fitz William in
ms yacht Veronique. 1t was reported
that the vessel was conveying a sup
ply OF arms and ammunition to be Sc
cretly landed on the island for the use
OF insurgents and rumors had 1T that
the expedition had been driven off after
nght with the natives.
Ihe facts are that the earl and his
party, including Admiral Pallisor, r.
N, retired, left their yacht at Pan
anna and went to Costa Rica to obtain
permission to dig for buried treasure
Durled on Cocos island. 1t was found
the permission had been granted f1f-
teen years ago to Mr.. Gissler, who, with
MS family, lives on Cocos- The earl
entered into negotiations with the con-
cessionaire direct and obtained per-
mission to search at a certain point.
Workmen were landed and heavy
charge was set at the base of a high
shelVlng Cliff While the party was
examining the result of the explosion
the upper portion of the cliff, covered
with great boulders and loosened by
the discharge, gave way and fell upon
the men. burying twenty of them. Sew
eral were seriously injured and none
escaped unhurt. The wounded were
conveyed to Panama and placed in
hospitals. Later the earl and his party
left for Southampton. 1t is said that
the expedition cost about G $4,000.

M A r K E T s
NY. MAN DISCUSSES
BANK STATEMENT
Exports of Gold Account for
the Large Loss of
Cash

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-The Financier
this week says:
The official statement of the New York
Associated Banks last week as was eSti-
mated from the traceable movements of
money during the week, an important
loss of cash, chiefly as the result of ex-
was S5.479,5 500, which sum closely corre-
sponded with that reached in the bank
statement, this amount being $5.349, 700
Discrepancies between the estimated and
the actual movements of cash in previous
weeks were, however, not corrected.
Though the loss through gold exports to
Europe In the last week were ST., 600, 600,
including shipment of $37, 600 900 on the
previous Saturday, the averages of these
shipments made a total of seven and one
third millions, counting the average for
ported to Cuba on Saturday, therefore the
statement was made on declining aver
ages for cash. 1t may be noted that the
decrease of cash shown by the bank
statement more than offset the gain to the
banks through the interbank movement
this gain being s6,92S,500, and the pay
ment through the banks to the treasury
OF 1887 500, on account of a Central Pa
cific note, offset what otherwise would
have been gain to these institutions on
the subtreasury operations; therefore the
extraordlnary disbursements by the banks
on account Of gold exports and for the
Central Pacific note were responsible for
the weeks loss of cash.
Loans increased 12.443, GOO during the
week, and probably this gain was largely
due TO operations incident to the sale of
$75,000,000 Southern Pacific refunding
bonds which was effected on Friday. The
deposits showed an increase of 81, ISL 700
and there was resulting increase of ST.
7S7 .925 In reserve requirements, adding
which sum to the loss of cash made de-
crease Of 1.137, 625 in the surplus reserve
to $19,S41 ,925. Computed upon the basis
OF deposits less those of $40, 800 public
funds, the surplus is s24. .0S6500 The
statement showed good advance. the
sum of the gain in loans. less the loss of
cash, being only s57, 800 below the increase
in deposits. The daily average of bank

FIVE CHICAGO MEN ARE
INDICTED FOR FORGERY
President of Tunnel Company Glad for
Chance to Clear Himself

CHICAGO, Feb. ALBERT G. Wheel
er, president Of the Illinois Tunnel
company; ex-City Clerk William Loeff-
Ter and Assistant City Clerk Edward
Erhorn were today indicted on a charge
of forgery in connection with the fran
chise for the underground railroad
system in this city. Aid. Edward No
yak and John Higgins, a printer, were
indicted in the same connection on
charges of perjury as well as forgery.
Mr.. Wheeler furnished bonds at 5000.
He says that he is pleased that the in
dictments have been made, as it pre-
sents an opportunity to dispose, once
for all, of charges that have been tried
several times and decided in his favor
He will do everything possible to have
the case pushed.
Among the witnesses heard by the
grand jury were Ernest McGaffey, sec
retary to Mayor Harrison and reading
clerk for the council: City Clerk Fred
c. Bender, j. c. Hutchins and E. j.
Judd. The indictments embrace, it is
said, the history of the granting of the
tunnel ordinance by the city. The
charge of forgery is based on the al
legged change of a council report as to
the size of the tunnels and the ac-
cusations of perjury growing out of tes-
timony given at a preliminary hearing
in justice court some time ago. Levy
Mayer, counsel for Mr.. Wheeler, said:
This matter is five years old. AS the
result of Mr.. Wheeler's refusal to sub
NIT to be blackmailed by a discharged
attorney he is indicted. Once in 1902
and twice in 1904 the attorney made a
similar charge before different justices
of the peace and in each instance the
charge was thrown out of court. The
report of the testimony taken at one of
the hearings shows that the attorney
swore that he (the attorney caused a
change to be made in the council pro-
ceedings and that he knew IL was GRIM
inal, and that if he had been paid the
money which he from time to time en-
deavored to extort from Mr.. Wheeler.
he would not have instituted the pros
ecutfon. Not only have three justice
courts dismissed the charges, but the
preceding administration in the states
attorneys office refused to take the
matter before the grand jury, and at
another time one of the judges sitting
In the criminal court declined per-
emptorily to enter an order permitting
the attorney to go before the grand
jury. The grand jury did not call as
witnesses any of those who were most
concerned and who would have waived
their privilege and told the facts. The
indictment of Mr.. Wheeler will turn
out to have been most decidedly
wrong"

RUSSIANS ARE ELATED,
BRITONS LESS HOPEFUL

PARIS, Feb 4.-The close of the tes-
timony before the international COM
mission inquiring into the North sea
incident has been followed by notice
able diminution of the confidence in
British circles connected with the case
and corresponding elation on the part
OF the Russians. The French press
gives marked prominence to statements
that the Russians have virtually won
their case, the usually conservative
Temps and Journal asserting positively
that the majority of the court now ia
vors the Russian theory that torpedo
boats followed Vice Admiral Rojest-
vensky's squadron. However, inquiry
In we'll informed quarters does not
show any real basis for the reports. On
the contrary, assertions are made that
the tendency within the court is rath-
er in the opposite direction.
The reports favorable to the Rus
sian view appear to result mainly from
the posiuveness of the testimony of
Capt. Clado and other Russian officers
that they saw torpedo boats attacking
the squadron, whereas the strongest
British witnesses did not swear that no
torpedo boats were there. but merely
that they did not see them there. The
impression seemed to prevail among
the audience that the commissioners
were likely to accept the directness of
the Russian witnesses rather than the
qualified negative given by the British
fishermen. However, those intimately
familiar with the commissioners, say
that this impression is not warranted,
as the commissioners being skilled ma
val technicians are disposed to differ
from Capt. Clado on important techni-
cal points. These pertain chiefly to
his ability to see a torpedo boat at
night two miles away, and his state
ment concerning the effects of search
lights. Some of the commissioners
consider Capt. Clado's statements to be
at variance with the accepted princi-
pies of naval science.
