FIRST FLOWER SHOW
CreditabIe Exhibition at Inauguration
 of the CalifIOralia.

The residents of El Centro have not given much attention to the growing of flowers yet, being pretty busy with building and getting done the necessary work of settling a new country, but they made a creditable show of blossoms at the modest inaugural tion of what Durham calls the "Califoralia" on Thanksgiving day. The exhibit comprised IF varieties of the rose, 12 varieties of chrysanthemum, 2 of lantana, 3 of canna, orange yucca, olean- der, asters and hibiscus arranged against a background of jules.
 The flowers had grown virtual ly wild, very little care having been given to them, but the spec imens were unusually fine. It IS proposed to make the flower show an annual festival in the valley and the idea meets with encour- agement. The patronesses of the first Califoralia were Mes danes c. E. Paris, True Venclll, Arthur Shepard, Earl Hartzsel, J. G. Newton, c. F. Hayden, S.. w. Dunaway, R. H. Clark and Miss Mabelle Swindle. Honorary patronesses; Mrs. w. T. Bill and Miss Chloe Holt.

BRAINED BUT LIVING
Young Woman Kicked III Head by
 Horse May Recover.

IlOTSc way NCSONCl'
 Miss Cora Sowders, 16 years old, daughter of J. w. Sowders, was thrown from a horse and kicked in the head last Tuesday, and although a piece of the skull was knocked out and even a DOT tion of the brain removed, the young woman retains conscious ness and may recover from the injury.
 Miss Sowders was riding bare back and when she struck her horse sharply with a whip the animal leaped suddenly to one side, threw her and lashed out with his heels, striking her on the side of the head just above the temple. Had the horse been shod, probably the blow would have been instantly fatal.
 Miss Sowders was taken to Mrs. Gray's house about four miles from town, where she was attended by Dr. Hamilton, who appears to have performed sue cessfully the difficult and unusual operation of restoring to place a considerable quantity of brain matter which had been forced out of the wound, A piece of the fractured bone was missing

Lowe meets Eddie Carter tonight IN
Baltimore In a ffteea-Found engage
ment at Germania Maennerchor Hall.
Lowe has been fighting in Philadel-
phia most OF the time for the past two
years. and has been highly successful
He has always been naturally clever
and has improved steadily against the
fast men who take part In the six-rOund
bouts in Quakert0wn. Also, he is said
TO have developed a punch and has
stopped more men inside the limit than
vast majority Of the Philadelphia
scrappers have been able 10 do.
Lowe Beat Him Once.
Lowe met Carter some time ago in
Philadelphia and bested him without
putting him 70 sleep. Since then Carter
and his henchmen have been yelling for
a return match. and the go tonight is
the result
II will be Carter's first appearance
IN a long bout This should give Lowe
a great advantage. as the Washington

The answer is Our brave boys acted

another Jolt to weak hearts and nerv-
Gus temperaments, but the truth must
be told
Yes. sir; there wasn't minute yester-
day when Cantillon's trusty henchmen
did not play at major league ball, even
II they didn't play it all the way
through. For instance, In the first
game Davy Altizer had three separate
and distinct chances TO get the winning
run by making any old kind Of a hit.
and did not accept one Of them. In the
tenth round the fourth opportunity pre-
scented itself and Davy was right there

Altizer also had bunch OF chances

The fans with ingrown faces and a
