to tear 1t down.
The coolest and finest man In the de-

been under fire before. When he began
pulling down the fence he fancled he
had disturbed "A nest of hornets, as he
thought he heard them singing fiercely
about his ears. But the lad was not
going to run from hornets when there
was more serious business ahead.
Ignoring the angry insects, he
opened the fence and rejoined the regl.

In a day or two he was surprised to
hear that he was to be promoted.

One OF the denOminational religious
publications which secures statistics
each year on the growth of the church
population Of the United States has
just published figures which show 9
smaller Increase in 1903 than in 1907
The earlier year was, however, phe
nomenal in certain details Of the re
corded growth, and the increase Of the
last year is not at all disappointing
The figures show a net increase for
1908 Of 2,S3J ministers, 1874 churches
and 720847 communicates. The growth
OF the Catholic church is, Of course in.
cluded, though the statistics come from
a Protestant source. The most inter.
esting feature Of the statistics is @
comparison with similar statistics OF
1890. The total number Of communi.
cants to-day is put at "a ,292, ,543, or al.
most 40 per cent of the entire esti.
mated population Of the nation, and
this Is a growth Of 90 per cent in the
last eighteen years. The number of
ministers in 1908, 165,725, indicates a
growth Of 40 per cent In the period.
And the number Of churches, 213O49,
shows a growth of 40 per cent. That
this growth Is really of great slgnif.
canoe appears when one compares II
with the total growth Of the country
In population in the same period. OF
course, the 1908 population figure must
be an estimate, but If one takes the es-
Innate used by government authorities
at Washington one is safe enough. On
this basis the growth Of our population
has been only just about 40 per cent
In the eighteen years. The rate Of in
crease In church communicates Is
therefore more than half again as
rapid as that In total population. The
churches are indeed to be congratulated
on the showing.

SOLDIERS HOME, July 28.-Under
a new regulation made by the board OF
managers, issued July 20, no payments
will be made to pensioners in excess OF
$16 a month, any sum above that
amount to be retained in the hands OF
the treasurer so long as the pensioner
remains in the home. This order af-
fects only a small percentage of the
members, but what its object is is
matter of much speculation. Many
think the board has no right to make
such a ruling, and it has been the sub
ject of much criticism.

SEVENTH REGIMENT READY
TO REPULSE HOSTILE MEN
Battle Against Besleging Forces at
Bay City Expected in
Few Days

BAY CITY, July 2S-That an enemy
may approach at any time, either by
land or by water, either by day or by
night. is the "hunch" of those who
think they know, at the Seventh regi-
ment camp here. This morning the
regiment was ordered out on an en-
trenchment problem and the men built
standing trenches with approaches, as
if expecting an enemy to approach
from the north. The trenches were
dug along the range of hills to the
north and just over their crest, so as
to be out of the sky line.
From this time on there will be more
extended maneuvers, and a battle
against besieging forces is expected
within a few days.
The regiment went out in three re-
liefs to dig the trenches. One relief
would prepare cover for a while and
then fall back. giving the next relief
its turn. A large amount of ammu-
milton is on hand. ready for the de-
fense of Camp Lauck against any and
all foes. There were many visitors to-
day, but all were peaceful.

SANTA ANA, July 2S.-Mrs Mary

the woman a ride with him to the Bor-
chard home. This was accepted, and
when the car stopped at Cypress both
man and woman alighted.

little way from the track and started
for it, the woman following him. When
he had proceeded but a short distance
he suddenly attacked the woman,
knocked her down and dragged her into
a ditch, and attempted an assault.
The woman fought desperately, and,
foiled in his purpose, the man beat her
mercilessly on the head until she lost
consciousness. When the woman re-
gained her senses it was early morn
ing. Dragging herself with difficulty

neck, due to a fall from a ladder at his
home at 302 Fairview avenue, South

accident is unknown, as he was alone
when it happened, but death must have
been instantaneous. Mrs. S. j. Martin,

Mr. Faulkner was dead before help
reached him.

gathered it appears that Faulkner had
started to paint his house. While on

and fell, striking on his neck and
breaking the spinal column.
The cOroner's investigation will be
held tomorrow in this city. So far as

IMPERATIVE TO INCREASE
CITYS SUPPLY OF WATER
Borad of Trustees Holds Special Meet
ing TO Consider Several
Proposed Plans

ONTARIO. July 2S.-That Ontario
must have more water and have it in
short time is the opinion of almost
every resident. The city has reached a
point where it is imperative that steps
be taken toward securing for it a per-
manent water supply, instead of de-
pending on rented water, as is now the
case. A meeting of the board of trus-
tees was held last evening especially
for the purpose of considering the
water proposition. A large number of
outsiders were present.
The Merchants association sent a
committee of five members to confer
with the council on the matter Several
outsiders presented propositions to fur
nish the town with water, the price run
ming from $1,000 per inch to $500. The
city must also build a large reservoir
i'm the near future. The hard thing
which the trustees have to overcome
i'm manipulating the matter is to get the
people to vote bonds when the water is
not vet in sight. For this reason sew
eral of the members look faYorably on
the proposition Of A. Otis of Clare
mont to sell the city five flowing wells
which develop some thirty inches apiece,
The council will have another special
meeting for the purpose of discussing
the water problem in two weeks ami
everyone who has a proposition is re-
quested to present it lin tangible form
at that time.

BUGABO0 MAN BURGLAR
ENTERS THREE HOUSES
EmptIes Bureau Drawers of Clothing,
but Fails to Find Anything
He Wants

PASADENA, July 2S.-Parents in the
north end of the city are again soaring
their children into silence with threats
of the "bugaboo man" burglar, as the
mysterious prowler of last winter was
called during his month of terrorizlng
that section. He got back into harness
last night after an absence OF hVe
months.
As a burglar he is a pronounced sue
cess, though in most unusual way.
He seems to court rather than avoid
the presence of other people in the
house and takes all kinds of risks to
carry out his hobby for the handling
of clothing belonging to the other sex
Only in rare instances have his visits
been followed by actual loss, and then
only of such articles as a few pennies
or a plate of cakes.
Entering, usually through a window
he makes at once for the bureau and
then apparently takes delight in tum-
bling and tossing such lingerie as he
can find, for always after his visit the
contents of the bureau are found tu1n-
bled on the floor or on bed. Jewelry
will be taken out and examined, then
left lying. In one instance during MS
former outbreak a necklace was taken,
but later returned. In another case
articles of womens wearing apparel
were taken from the house and placed
in a conspicuous place on the lawn IN
front.
The places entered last evening were
the homes of H. S. Miller of 40 West
Peoria street; Mrs. Mclaughlin. $40
Summit avenue, and Mrs. ]. w. Hol-
don OF 178 Logan street. Clothing was
tumbled about in the first and the last
houses, but in no instance could a loss
be discovered. His raids in the winter
so terrorized the neighborhood that the
ontira uO1ira force was thrown into the
section to act as a drag net, yet so cum
ming was the thief that he managed TO
elude them. 1t is believed he lives in
the north end Of the city.

OFFERS TO NAVIGATE
AIR ABOVE PASADENA
WANTS BOARD OF TRADE TO
FURNISH MOTOR
Former New Yorker Presents PROPOSE

Machine--says He Will

EsnacIal 20 The Herald. J

PASADENA, July 2S-Promising to
navigate the air above Pasadena within
sixty days from the time the board of
trade will back him to the extent of
twenty horsepower motor, the cost Of
which he proposes to repay by giving
a series of exhibition flights with pall
admissions, f. o. Andreae, formerly OF
New York, today made public his plans
for producing a flying machine or aero
plane which he believes will revolution
ize the art of travelling in the air. lie
is man with practical experience IN
aeronautics, having become interested
in the subject several years ago. IN
New York, where his home has been
until recently, he experimental with
several machines, and it was from a
freak device with which he essayed an
ascension that he developed the idea Of
this new machine, on which patents are
pending.
He stands ready to post a forfeit for
the faithful accomplishment of his part
of the program and asks the board TO
make sure of the feasibility of his plan
by appointing an investigating COM
mittee to include Prof. Thaddeus
Lowe, dean of aeronautics, to which
he will explain the details before be-
ginning work on the real flyer. His
description of the machine says that 1t
does away entirely with diagonal wires
and upright struts. 1t will, he says,
present far less head resistance than
any machine now in existence and will
consequently acquire far greater speed.
In fact he hopes to secure a speed of
sixty miles an hour. Greater stability
combined with great lightness are 9TH
er claims for the machine.
