THE SEANCE.

A night, still, warm, full of
electricity.
We sat around the medium, quiet,
expectant, hand-in-hand, talking, if
at all, only murmurs.
A large, square room, hung on all
sides, even before the open windows.
with dark tapestry.
The only light came from an an
tlque bronze lamp, depending from
the ceiling, the fame covered with
a globe of dull greenish-yeIlow glass,
inscribed with mystical characters
resembling Sanscrit-a light, pale.
weird and unreal beyond descrip-
ton.

undoubted honesty and the deepest
enthusiasm in her faith. Dark. pale
and delicate, with high-bred, aristo-
cratic features and deep-set eyes.
she was one, once seen, never to be
forgotten. Wonderful we're the
revelations that sometimes fell from
her lips
Seated in our midst, with bowed
head and folded hands, she seemed
to vibrate like a harp to the touch
OF invisible presences. And while
line current, like that from a Fara-
die battery, ran through the linked
hands about her, she gave a message
to each from loved ones on the
shadowy shore. Her voice, like her
face, was vibrant, wonderful. fitting
every word with subtle intensity of
meaning.
Suddenly she lifted her head, her
frame rigid, her eyes staring straight
before her.

eyes are like balls of fire-his teeth
shine through drawn lips. Crouch
ing, stealthy, he creeps upon her. 1

sleeve. She sees, but seems para
lyzed. He is close to her-he raises

At that instant rang through the
room a scream-long-d drawn, ago
nizing, awful. Never lad l heard a
cry so full of hopeless pleading, NOR
tai terror and inarticulate hate I
am no coward, but my every nerve
shook.
The medium was silent, trance
like, but all else was confusion.
A lady tainted my God! this is
awful said her escort-"a air! air!'

THE JUNIOR BULL MOOSE.

The Roosevelt convention, SO far
as harmony of temperament is con-
cerned could not have chosen a man
more fit to be the running mate of
the third termer than fighting Hi
ram Johnson, Governor of Califor-
MIA, whose actions at the Republican
National Convention have stamped
him radical of the radicals. In a
recent magazine review the man was
characterized thus:
"a Progressive in a hurry. No
body can hear Gov. Johnson speak
for five minutes without getting
fighting mad, either at him or with
him at somebody else. He can set
mixed audience by the ears as quick
ly as any man living He is intense
himself and he arouses intense feel
ings in Others"
Gov. Johnson may be said to be a
political revivalist, but he is a man
of undoubted courage. His father
is very astute lawyer, who has
served for years in the California
Legislature To fully comprehend
the sudden advent of Johnson into
the Rooseveltian school of bright
men, into the company of Perkins,
Herbert Knox Smith, Heney, and
others of the kind, conditions in
California also must be understood
The Southern Pacific has been to that
State what over large roads have
been to other Etates-their boss
Though Commonwealth of ambi-
ton, with very rich men ready and
willing to "do things there proba-
bly, is no other State in the Union
that has suffered more from rail-
road domination. This began before
Johnson was born, and it was not
until his early manhood that the
people began to revolt against the
Reuf-Herrin railroad machine"
When Johnson began his career as
lawyer, the revolt against the South
ern Pacific bosship had taken shape
and was pushed forward energeti-
cally.
Six years ago, when Heney, the
'insinuating," was shot while en-
gagged in prosecuting the San Fran
cisco graft trials, Johnson took his
place. Now, the Californians love a
Fighter. Westerners all talk
large" especially on the stump, and
he is no exception. But he also has
his enemies, quite a bunch" of
them, in his own state, and he has
awaiting him on his present return
home quite little fight of his
own"
Progressiyes were stirring out in
California long before they ever
heard of such a man as Johnson.
He simply rode into the Sacramento
capital on the wave of p
against the Southern Pacifc-a
Statewide movement not confined
to Johnson's campaign activity, but
which was the slogan of both par
ties.
Here is another, and leading,
similarity between Roosevelt and his
running mate, besides the one that
both are desperate fighters. Pro
gressives in the Republican and
Democratic parties had been long

The Cost OfLiVing
and Electric Light
One costs more daily
1.-THE other costs less

In these days Of soaring prices it is a relief to find one
necessity whose cost is decreasing instead Of increasing.
For the past thirty years the cost Of electric lighting has
been steadily growing less. a few years ago. ten cents
worth Of current would light a 10 candle power lamp for
twenty hours. Now, ten cents worth Of current will light
a 3 candle-power lamp for 5 hours.
Twice as much light, for more hours. from the same
amount of electricity means real economy.
The new Edison Mazda Lamp costs
a little more to install than the old
10 canile-power lamp, hut it saves
the extra cost in a few hours burning.
Come IN and see this new lamp that has a flament. or
burner, made from drawn wire I'd, strong as steel. We
have al sizes.

WATER COMPANY SERVES

F. p. Willard, president of Water Com

which show very satisfactory condition
in this water district
While it was thought the vote on per
mission for the Ash and Alamitas laterals
to withdraw from the company and set
up an Independent organization was lost.
late votes have given the permission
sought and they will pass out of the NO.
l district and look after their own inter

taking the name of the Eastside Water
company.
The company has had a census taken o.
the acreage of corn grown in the district
amounting to 10000 acres. against 5000
acres last year and IT is believed the
yield is destined to be as good per acre
as ever before, for growing conditions
have been favorable.
In cotton No. / district shows a de
crease of 50 per cent in acreage. but IL
is believed some of the other districts
will in part make gooc the shrinkage,
and that the total area in the valley Will
approximate the acreage of last year.
