6 PASADENA. The overland mail was twelve hours late > esterday. E. P. Newton of Guthrie City, lowa, is stopping with H. C. Hotaling and family. Workmen were engaged in repairing the Cross road track where the recent rains had affected it. Mrs. J. C. Russell left yesterday on the Santa Fe for Forestville, N. V., where she will spend the winter. The hook and ladder truck, which is being painted by Turbett and Hoovy, will be ready for use very shortly. Every room is reported engaged at the Raymond, and it is said there will be 301) guests there by the 22d of this month. Several of the guests who spent last winter at the San Gabriel hotel have returned, and will remain during the present season. The Swedish Quartette appears in the M. E. tabernacle tonight. From the flattering press notices of the perform ance no one should miss it. H. \V. Hims and R. Williams attended the poultry show at Los Angele3 yester day. They were greatly pleased with the many tine birds on exhibition. The f*ir at the Universalist church is attracting a great many people. Last night an oyster supper was the attrac tion, and a large crowd helped eat them. Mrs. Frank Post and children, who have been stopping at El Paso, en route from their home in Illinois, reached here on Wednesday, and are staying with Mrs. Post's mother, Mrs. Ross, at the Carlton. Round trip tickets will be sold on the Santa Fe to the corner-stone dedication exercises of the new asylum, near San Bernardino, at one fare for the round trip.

The Pasadena Lawn- Tennis club was given a tennis party yesterday afternoon by Mr. and Mrs. Acker, of New Rochester, N. Y. Phil Kearney Camp No. 7 elected officers at their meeting, on Wednesday i night, as follows: Captain, N. S. Bang- j ham ; first lieutenant, Fred J. Downing; ascend lieutenant, A. P.

Godfrey j f»ost presented the camp with a beauti ul engraving of the bombardment of Fort Sumter. A Corner in Pumpkins. "Just look at that, will you?" said the keeper of one of the large produce stands in Center market to a reporter as n party of a dozen boys trooped off each •with a big pumpkin under his arm. "That is tho way it has been for ten days past. Bet I have sold a carload to boys. They want big ones, too. Tire common, ordi nary size doesn't seem to meet their no tion." J 'What do they do with them'r" •'Count the seeds. There is a perfect craze over it. Nearly every lady who comes along here doing her day's mar keting says, 'Send me up a pumpkin, a large one; my little boy wants to count the seeds.' "I thought at first it was jack-o'-lan rtßTna-they wanted them for, such as we .used to make when I was a boy, but it seems that there is a guessing contest for a pony going on. The child guess ing the nearest to the correct number of seeds in a giant pumpkin exhibited in one of their windows gets the pony, and these boys are hunting a few facts on the fleet! luestion. "Tisn't a bad idea, but it keeps us produce men hustling for big pumpkins.''—Washington Post, Floral Fashions. The chrysanthemum is in the ascend ant, and very soon every house, flat or zoom will be illumined by its splendid bloom. This is one of the effects of tak ing Japanese art into our bosom. We bave learned the decorative lesson and profited, for it would seem a flower!ess autumn were we to be deprived now of -this perfect bit of natural decoration. And another floral idea has also arrived from Japan, one which bids fair to rival the more fragile creations of the green bouse. Dwarfed trees, strange, stunted, gnome like plants, set in the artistic porcelain pots of that land of art and invention, will be used for dinner table and house decoration. Already they are employing them in London houses, and no doubt in time they will appear here, superseding the familiar rubber plants and palm, and giving that one note of vernal oddity so prized by the tasteful owner of a well composed room. —Boston Herald. Lightning Ki) i g Bird*. A singular story is told by a head gamekeeper in Prussian Silesia. A few weeks ago one of his under keepers found in the tract of shooting country under his charge a covey of partridges, ■two old birds and fifteen young ones, all lying dead. They were huddled up close together within the space of a square yard, but were too decomposed to show any reliable signs of the cause of their death. Poison was at first sus pected, as the spot was close to some peasants' allotment, but a careful ex amination of the ground revealed the fact that the birds had been struck by t lightning. The flash had struck a littlo mound a short distance away, and then coursed along the ground, and the grass surrounding the spot where the par tridges lay had a burned and yellow ap pearance. —Exchange. Money That Will Not B« Paid. The postoffice department will not pay the $1,000 reward offered for the capture and conviction of Rube Bur row. There is a standing reward offered ■by the postoffice department for the cap tare and conviction of any one robbing the mails. This is the reward that ap plied to Rube Burrow. But it will not be paid because there was no convic tion, nor has proof been established in court that Rube Burrow robbed the mails. The department officers know he did, but they never pay a reward with out legal proof and conviction. Thus the capturers of Rube Burrow will fail to get $1,000 of the*s7,soo reward on the bead of the noted outlaw. —Atlanta Con stitution. Bakery.

TIIE LOS ANGELES HERALD; FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 12, 1890. Men mmd Horses Fall 110 Fees. James Wilson and John Martin, resid ing near Edwardsville, went to New Al bany recently to procure a coffin in which to bury James Routh. On their return from the city the heavy rain storm came up, and the sky became so dark that they were unable to see the road ahead of them, and they trusted to their horses to take them safely along the dangerous highway. At the point where the storm overtook them the road winds around the high hills, and in many places passes near high precipices. The rain was pouring down In torrents, and it was only when the lightning flashed they were enabled to see the road at all. Suddenly there was a brilliant flash of lightning, followed by a deafening peal of thunder, which stunned the men and seemed to stagger the horses. Before they could recover from the shock the horses and wagon fell over a precipice, aud all went down a distance of 110 feet. Some men who were passing heard the cries of distress and went to their assist ance. They found the men and the horses and wagon in a deep hollow, more than one hundred feet below where the road passes the top of the precipice. Wilson was almost unconscious, while his companion lay near him bruised and bleeding. One of the horses was dead and the other so badly crippled that it had to be killed. The wagon and the coffin were both smashed to pieces. The men were gotten out of the place and taken to their homes. Wilson is tho most seriously injured, and it is thought he cannot live. Martin's injuries are of a serious nature, and his recovery is a matter of considerable doubt. —Louis- ville Commercial. What It Costs to Live In a Hotel. The boarding house habit seems to be continually on the decrease in New York and new restaurants spring up in every direction. As soon as a new hotel with gorgeous appointments is opened hun dreds of the curious in matters gastro nomic go thither to dine. As soon as a fashionable ten story apartment house is opened there are scores of families eager to pay high rates for its shelter. The hotels this season are unusually crowded and prices for permanent lodg ing are enormous. A man of my ac quaintance recently asked the proprietor of a well known hotel on Fifth avenue what would be the price per week to himself and his family—four persons in all—for a moderate sized suite of rooms. The price named was nearly $200 a week That was an old established house, however. The new ones are charging less for the purpose of having all apartments occupied before May 1, when new contracts with lodgers will bo made.—New York Star. DON'T DIE IN THE HOUSE. "Rough on Rats."

I wish to say to the public that Cham berlain's Cough Remedy is the best I have ever used or sold for croup. I am never without it at my home for my children. Last winter a child of Mr. K. J. Wetzel, one of my customers, was choking with a sudden and severe at tack of croup. I gave him a bottle of this Cough Remedy, and he started for home, gave the child two doses of it, which stopped the coughing and smoth ering instantly, and in a few minutes the little one was out of all danger. Mr. Wetzel came back to tbe store as ] happy as he could be, and said : "That bottle of Cough Remedy saved the life! of my child." Furthermore, I feel j friendly toward you as the manufactur- I ers of such a valuable remedy, and am proud of its being manufactured in our j own state. I can cheerfully and will- j ingly give many instances of its good works to any one that may want a reli able cough remedy* Wm. C. Voobl, Quarry, lowa, i For sale by C. F.

' Location of Lands, With Description of Soil and Climate, and Comparison of Prices With Other Lands of Similar Values. The original purchase of these lands comprised 29,000 acres, situate immedi ately west of the cities of San Bernardino and Colton. Two transcontinental lines of railroad, the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific, trav erse east and west these lands, exactly two miles apart, giving us two townsites and stations upon each road, the stations being four miles from each other, thereby giving us unexcelled shipping facilities. Our land extends to within three miles of San Bernardino, one and one-half of Colton on the east and five miles of Riverside on the south. Our average altitude is about 1200 feet above sea level, with a gradual and regular Blope irom the mountains on the north, with just fall enough to irrigate conveniently. We are 400 feet higher than Riverside and 200 higher than San Bernardino, which exempts us almost entirely from frost. Our lands are peculiarly adapted to citrus fruits, being right in the heart of the best orange producing country in the state "M California. Our subsoil is the same that has made Riverside famous the world over, with this advantage—we are fortunate in having a top dressing of decomposed granite ranging to a depth of from six to eighteen inches, which holds the moisture, always being in good condition for cultivation and readily furnishing the proper nourishment for starting the growth of freshly planted trees and vines. Irrigation may be indulged in to any degiee without fear of injury to the trees, vines or vegetables, or the risk of getting the ground in bad condition, as frequent ly occurs on land less favored. Ourwater rights are unsurpassed. We own and control almost all the water in Lytle creek, the fourth largest stream in Southern California, besides which we have a large scope of artesian water bearing land where we have thirty fine flowing wells emptying their sparkling waters into pipes which conduct it to tbe rich lands below for irrigation, and to our streets for protection against fire, and to our dwellings for domestic uses. We are boring more artesian wells con stantly, never failing to secure a fine flow of water, so that we have no hesitancy in sayingthatwe have a great abundance of water for all of our rich lands. Of the 29,000 acres originally pur chased we have sold about 9000 acres at $200 per acre, which leaves us about 20,000 acres yet to be disposed of. For the past two years but little land, comparatively speaking, has been sold in Southern California, on account of the depression in the money market, and the collapse of our boom, but now we think we see the dawn of an era of prosperity, such as has never been known in this country, and in order to attract the at tention of the world to our superior loca tion and lands, we have reduced the price to a figu-e below the price of tbe cheapest agricultural lands in this country, and propose to sell about 2000 acres to actual settlers and people who will improve the land, at $75 to $100 per acre, with 20 and 25 per cent off for im provements made within one year from purchase, making tbe land but $00 to $75 per acre to the man who in good faith improves the land, and on terms within the reach of all, to-wit: $10 per acre cash on delivery of contract, balance in three equal payments, due in two, three and four years, at 8 per cent, interest. Think of it! The best orange lands at $00 and $75 an acre. Go all around us and ask the price of land not so good as ours. At Riverside on the south, at Redlands and Highlands on the east and northeast of us, all famous orange pro ducing districts, the price of unimproved lands ranges from $250 to $500 per acre, and foi orchards five years old from $1000 to $2000 per acre are being paid, and they are well worth the money invested. The water for irrigating these lands is furnished under the "Wright Irrigation Law" of this state, and costs the land owner only $2 to $4 per acre per annum. Rialto, where is located the home office of the company, is a smart little town of, perhaps, 200 people, situated on the main line of the great Santa Fe railroad, four miles west of San Ber nardino, and we have a fine depot with telegraph and telephone communica- tions with the world. A fine large hotel, the "Semi-Tropic," elegantly furnished and well kept, occupies a square in the center of Rialto, and one of the fine school buildings for which Southern California is famous, stands upon another square of the town. Two church organ izations are in a flourishing condition— the Methodist and Congregational. A pleasant ride of an hour and a half through the beautiful orange groves of Los Angeles and San Bernardino coun ties takes you from the city of Los An geles, the metropolis of Southern Cali fornia, to Rialto. An excursion is conducted from Los Angeles to Rialto every Friday morning, leaving Los Angeles at 8:30, and return ing arrives here at 6:30 p. va. ; tickets good for ten days. Fare for round trip $2.55, which is returned to every pur chaser of land by L. M. Brown, agent for these lands for the coast counties. Office, 132 North Spring street. For further information, address the Semi-Tiiopic Land and Water Co., Rialto, San Bernardino County, Cali fornia. Or L. M. BROWN, Agent at No. 132 North Spring street, Los Angeles, California.
