Village Of Lyman 10 BE Deserted by Entire Population
Waiting for the Summons

of this great county of the Sunshine

To say that the celebration of the
18th was success is putting 1t mild
ly. 1t was great success in every
way and the 18th # July, 1905, should
people of Lyman for long years to
come. A program was given in the
bowery, with singing and speaking and
a very able address by States Attorney
Williamson Of Oacoma, in which he
put emphasis on the fact that it was
such people as came to Lyman county
to live in small shanties from homes
of luxury in eastern states that had
made our great country what it is
and that would make of Lyman county
one of the finest and richest in the
whole state in the near future.
Besides this program Of oratOry and
singing there were athletic sports, in
cluding an interesting ball game and
.'everal horse races.
In the evening the crowd was enter
tanned by display of fireworks and a
dance in the bowery. 1t was rather
gay and festive celebration on the
death of the old town, but the people
are confident in the whole county
and whatever the name of the new
place to which they expect to remove
they will make it known throughout
the state as town of push and enter

BUSY WITH AFFAIRS OF STATE
HurIs Boiling Pot Through the VIM

And 1t came to pass on the morning
of the eighth day of the reign of "Theo
the Good" the ten day ruler of the city
of Los Angeles that grave questions,
vital to the interests of the munich
pality, were to be settled. The good
sovereign summoned the counselors of
his predecessor, INC, the Mysterious"
to lend their wisdom in the discussion
of the grave affairs of state.
When the learned men Of the land
had assembled they at once betook
themselves to the inner sanctum, as
INC, the Mysterious" had taught them
to do, and prepared to watch the boil
ing pot and gain inspiration from what
they saw in the fumes which should
rise from it. All was in readiness and
they turned to the good ruler, expect
ing him to act as the Medicine Man,
when To- he seized the pot and, hurting
1t from the window. thundered, "As-
semble in the court of public discourse
that the worthy citizens may hear and
be WISE"
Accordingly as the sovereign had de.
creed the wise men assembled in the
public chamber. When "Theo the
Good" emerged from the inner sanctum
in the robes of state the assembled

Postmaster Flint Prepares for the

Mail

Three OF the Overland trains long
delayed in Arizona and Colorado by
freshets arrived in Los Angeles last
night over the Santa Fe and officials
state that most of the other delayed
trains will reach here within the next
twenty-four hours.
In anticipation of the tremendous
labor involved in handling at one time,
mails which have been delayed for a
week, Postmaster Flint said yesterday
that he would add fifteen additional
distributors to his force. 1t is estimated
the total number of pieces of mail
handled by the postal clerks in the Los
Angeles office when the delayed trains
arrive will aggregate over 100000.
Santa F'e limited train No. 8, which
left Chicago April 2s. is due here this
morning at 9:15 o'clock. Another
Santa Fe limited train will arrive here
at o'clock p. m.
Eight Santa Fe trains are expected
to arrive between ten o'clock tonight
and four o'clock tomorrow morning.
These trains will have no mail. The

diverted via Ogden and Sacramento.

populace fell on their faces, until he
had ascended the throne of justice
"I have called the wise men to-
gether," began the ruler, ito ask that
laws be passed giving all children un-
der 20 years Of age free tickets to all
circuses which shall perform in the
city of The Angels. and paying all
children above that age certain Zee
for attending such performances"
When the clamor of the citizens had
been auieted by legion of horsemen
and the dead removed, the wise men
nut their heads together in grave dis
cussion. At last one arose and ad-
dressed the throne, saying, Mighty
sovereign, light of our eyes, we have
searched the law of Moses and find not
what you wish"
Then spoke "Theo the Good" "It
shall be the law of 'Theo the Good that
the principles heretofore spoken shall
be the law of the city of The Angels
during my reign" Hear! Hear"
shouted the populace, and again the
legion of horse was called out, but
order was restored without casualty.
When this important question had
been settled an humble citizen asked
for an audience before the august
tribunal. He came to ask that he and
his fellows be allowed to continue to
dispense tin dog tamales and La Flor
de Sewage cigars in little stands of
canvas on the public streets Of the
city inside the fire limits.
Some of the wise men were adverse
to hearing the citizen and wanted to
deny his petition before allowing him
to tell what it was but "Theo the
Good" thundered: Hear the citizen'"
Whether his request be just or unjust
it shall be heard.'
The wise men buried their heads
beneath the table until the wrath of
the sovereign had passed. When the
petition of the citizen had been heard
1t was found to conflict with the law
of Moses and perforce was denied.
When the solemn discussion had
ceased the wise men of the land backed
from the presence of "Theo the Good"
with profound salaams.

Celebration Over Opening New lIu-

n1Ination viii Be Attended by
other Lighting Associations
The celebration with which It is the
intention next Saturday evening to sig
nalize the inauguration of Broadway's
elaborate electric Illumination project
is to be an affair of the city and not
merely a jollihcatlon over a single
street.
The members Of the Broadway Boule-
ward Improvement association are
proud of the success which has re-
warded their energy and enterprise, not
SO much Of what 1t means for their
own thoroughfare, as because 1t is the
initial step in a magnificent system Of
street illumination that will contribute
immeasurably to the fame of Los An
geles as the habitat of broad gauge,
progressive people. 1t is now certain
that the owners and tenants Of prop
erty on other leading streets will follow
the example set on Broadway.
Acting according to their conception Of
the significance of the occasion, the
executive committee of the Broadway
Boulevard Improvement association has
issued invitations to the Main, Spring
and Hill street associations to join in
the festivities of next Saturday even
ing. The Hill street association has
already accepted the invitation and an
nounced that it will be represented in
the parade by handsome float. 1t is
expected that the other associations
will be similarly represented.
Invitations have also been extended
to the boards of trade, Improvement
associations, and other semi-public or
ganizations in towns adjacent to Los
Angeles, and a large representation of
visitors is expected in the parade.

Attends
HONOR DISTINGUISHED GUEST

over thousand persons assembled in
Blanchard hall Monday evening, the oc-
casion being the Metaphysical May fes-
tlval. held under the auspices of the
Metaphysical library. The affair was
IN the nature of a public reception and
welcome to william Walker Atkinson
who is visiting Southern California.
DR.. Alexander ]. -Tyndall pre-
sided, and in brief address reminded
his hearers that all good and unselfish
teaching has for its aim the attainment
of truth, saying because 1t is only
truth that can free humanity from Its
false standards of ideas and material
conditions. DIR. McIvor-Tyndall said In
part
Although each speaker along new
thought and metaphysical lines has his
individual way of presenting his per-
ception of the higher ideal, yet the ideal
Is the same in all cases. Each IN
Hvidual conception of truth is i'm
portant, and the only thing to be
avoided is limitation. There is only one
Power, one Truth, one Life. We may
approach the perception of this from
different viewpoints, but we should
bear in mind that the attainment of the
highest good to all is the ideal for
which we are equally seeking"
The chairman introduced Mr.. Atkin-
son with the remark: "Mr. Atkinson,
recognizing in Los Angeles the mecca
of all good metaphysicians, has jour
neyed hither in order that he may
enjoy the companionship of his kind
and participate in the luxury of per-
petual sunshine and flowers, for which
Southern California is famed"
William Walker Atkinson is editor
of the New Thought magazine. He
told an interesting story Of a dog,
which, he said, is equally applicable to
man as to dog.
Don Rosendo Uruchurta delighted the
audience with a selection on the rosen-
dolyn. George Edwin Burnell was the
next speaker introduced and, after
some humorous remarks about the new
species of animal called 'metaphys-
icians," he proceeded to tell some
thing of what the metaphysical move
ment is trying to accomplish.
Rev. Benjamin Fay Mills, who was
programmed to speak, was not present,
being called away on other business
He sent his regrets, however. ]. Stitt
Wilson was also unavoidably absent,
and letter of good will was also read
from him.
Prof. Chick rendered baritone solo,
and Miss Christian delighted the audi
ence with her beautiful contralto
voice.
The proceeds of the meeting were
donated to the Metaphysical library,
located in the Grant block.
A pleasing feature of the evening
was the music rendered by the Fellow
ship orchestra.
