ABSOLUTELY PURE
THE BUG FIGHTERS.
A DEFENSE OF THE HORTICUL
TURAL COMMISSION.
The Secretary States the Scale Bug
Proposition From the Commissioners
Point of View.
The following communication will be
of interest to fruit raisers:
Pomona, Cal., Dec. 29,1890.
Editors Herald :—So far as my expe
rience goes you have always shown a
spirit of fairness ; will you therefore hear
once more the other side? In th 3
AVeekly Herald of Dec. 27th, you have
an editorial article under the caption of
Scale Bugs and their Parasites. I will
start, if you please, in my answer with
the statement that the horticultural
commission of this county are really
working hard to be of benefit to the
fruit growers of the county. The men
now composing thecommissionare prac
tical horticulturists, with experience in
their business of from 18 to 20 years.
The writer is youngest in experience,
having been an inspector under Mathew
Cook in 1877 or '78. You; newspaper
men can hardly realize how much fac
tious opposition we meet with in our
efforts to persuade people to clean and
care for their orchards. The position of
commissioner or inspector is not an en
viable one, or one that a good man cares
to take. We are not on the popular
side. The press, naturally enough per
haps, is on that side. We realize the j
great importance to us in our
work of the cordial support of the
press. We try to deserve it and hope
you will feel justified, on the part of the
Heuald, in giving it to us. You are '
certainly mistaken when you say that
we questioned your theory about para- ]
sites, and fought that theory or laughed
at it. Our records show that we have
always acknowledged the beneficial
work done by parasites. National,
state and county boards of horticulture
all aided in introducing the Vedolla
Cardinalis, the only really effective par
asite we have ever had. What we have
combatted with all our might has been I
the surprising deduction made from the [
parasite theory, that certain parasites
weie cleaning our orchards as the vedo- |
lia has done, and that further work on
the part of orchardists in the way of
fighting pests was not needed.
Whether the press intended this
idea to be accepted or not, the
fact is that it has been accepted by very
many of our orange growers, and the ;
preps ia lartrclv veeponeible Eov tliat iac.t. J
, - 1 ' n parasites, In I

ately none or all [

COUNCIL OF LABOR.
Election of Officers—The Official Organ
to Be Enlarged.
At last evening's meeting of the Los
Angeles Council of Labor, the delegates
voted to vacate their room for the bene
fit of the barbers, and the meeting was
held in the oflice of the secretary of the
Typographical union.
The executive committtee reported
progress upon the agitation of the bal
lot reform law. A report was also made
of the intention to double the size of
the Workman, the official paper of the
trades.
The organizing committee reported
Laving been engaged in organizing the
barbers, with good prospects of success.
A delegate from the barbers stated that
the union intended to adopt a badge,
and asked that the council give its sup
port to the members. This was unani
mously voted, and the delegates in
structed to inform their respective
unions of the fact.
Reports from the unions showed trade
rather quiet. The delegate from the
Bakers' union complained of the dis
crimination exercised by one establish
ment against union bakers. The ex
ecutive committee was instructed to in
vestigate the complaint, and report at
the next meeting.
The nominations for officers were
opened and an election ordered, which
resulted as follows: President, D. O.
Freeman; vice-president, B; Larger!;
recording secretary, P. R. Bellman;
rinivnoial Reorutary, K. B. Culver; treas
urer. C. W. Stigenwalt; sergeant-at
arms, L. P. Miller; organizing commit
tee, F. B. Colver, T. E. Cross, U. Parten,
E. Krnegler, 11. E. Marten; committee
on legislation, A. Rose, D. E. Waldo, J.
A. Hartranft.
Some discussion was held upon the
advisability of urging the Pacific Coast
council to call a meeting of all the sub
federations of California for the purpose
of forming a state federation ot labor.
Action was deferred until the next
meeting.
THE BARBERS.
An Organization Formed and Tempo
rary Officers Elected.
Pursuant to the call of the Los Angeles
Council of Labor, some thirty barbers
assembled at 1 West First street last
evening. This was the second meeting
held by the Los Angeles barbers, and
was first addressed by the committee
appointed at the previous meeting.
After some discussion by members of the
council and by a couple of members
from the Denver Barbers' union, a mo
tion was carried to proceed to tempo
rarily organize. Charles Hetz was
elected temporary president, and V. de
Vezino secretary. The charter roll was
then opened, and was signed by all jour
neymen barbers present. The secretary
was instructed to write to St. Paul for a
charter and working paraphernalia. A
committee on constitution and by-laws
was then appointed, with instructions to
report on next Tuesday night. The
union intends to adopt a badge to be
worn by all members. The council of
labor has promised to recognize and sup
port this badge.
PITCHERS KNELL AND CARSEY
The Make-Up of the Nines to Play
Tomorrow.
The baseball enthusiasts were elated
yesterday when they read the announce
ment in the HEBALD that there would
be a series of games played at the
Temple-street grounds, beginning to
morrow afternoon. The seating accom
modation is all that can be desired, but
the grounds are not nearly as large as
they should be. However, with such
crack twirlers as Knell and Carsey in the
box, hits will be few and far between.
The nines will be made up as follows for
the game on New Year's day :
San Francisco: Knell, p; Stevens, c ;
Dooley, 1 b; McDonald 2 b; Wilson,
3 b; Ebright, ss; Sweeny, c f; O'Day,
rf; Rube Levy, If.
Los Angeles: Carsey, p; Lohman,
c; Stapleton, 1 b; Fogarty, 2 b; Brit
tan, 3 b; Reitz, 88; Holliday, c f;
Isaacson, rf; Young or Goldie, if.
Sheridan, the well-known profes
sional, will umpire the game, which
will be called at 2:30 sharp.
Chronic Pleurisy Cured.
1,. K. Cajlen, Garfield, Pawnee comity, Kan.,
writes; '
"1 have been for some years troubled with
pleuivtic pains in my left side, which come on
in the beginning of winter, and are so
severe that lam confined to the house. Inn ing
the past winter I used two Am.i ock's Plastkks
on mv left side, and after the first week all
pain left me and J was perfectly able to attend
to my business. After wearing them two weeks,
I would wash them off with a little alcohol and
then go two or three weeks perfectly well. I
have only had to put them on three times dur
ing the past winter, and must say Am.i oc k's
Plaktkks are all that they are represented
to be." /

MARSH'S QUICK WORK.
HE CAPTURES A POSTOFFICE ROB
BER IN SHORT ORDER.
A Burglar Who Only Got Dimes and
Nickels—He Comes to Los Angeles and
Walks into Deputy Marshal Marsh's
Arms.
Quite a slick capture was made yester
day by deputy United States Marshal
Marsh and Constable Mayes of Lan
caster. On Monday night the postoffiee
at Lancaster was robbed. An entrance
was effected from the rear. Constable
Mayes was the first one to discover that
the crime had been committed and at
once commenced to work on the case.
Portmaster Holland upon investigation
found that only about ten dollars in
dimes and nickels had been stolen. Ad
joining the postoffiee is a printing oflice.
W. Mugarrieta, a type-setter employed
on the Lancaster paper, had been seen
prowling around the building, and sus
picion at once pointed to him as the
burglar. The rear door had been pried
open with a bar of iron used in a print
ing oflice.
A search was made for Mugarrieta,
but he could not be found in Lancaster.
It was subsequently learned that he had
beaten his way down to Los Angeles on
a freight train. Constable Mayes tele
graphed a description of the missing
printer to Marshal Gard and Deputy
Marshal Marsh was put on the case.
He kept a sharp lookout for Mugarrieta.
Later in the day word reached Marsh
that Mugarrieta had sentdown a valise
by express. The officers waited at
Wells-Fargo, ani at precisely 4:iJoin
stepped the man they wanted. He was
placed under arrest und was escoiied to
Hotel Darcy.
It appears that on Monday Mugar
rieta heard the postmaster remark that
he had about $200 on hand, but the
money was removed to a safe place
that afternoon, > consequently the ac
cused did not make such a big haul a :
he had anticipated.
THE EXHIBIT BUSINESS.
It Is Thriving Both in Los Angeles and
Chicago.
Donations to the chamber yesterday
were: Raisins from Pomona, board of
trade ; fruit picker, Richard Jacks ; sam
ples of eucalyptus wood cut from trees
seventy feet high, 5 years old, from H.
C. Davis's place; case of roses, Mrs. R.
M. Parker, Eagle Pock; lemons, oranges
and guavas from Henry Kirns, Pasadena;
chiremoya or custard apples, persim
mons and string beans from Jacob Mil
ler, Cahuenga; Australian oranges
mowing on the end of the branches, J.
J. McDonald, city.
Secretary Hanchette returned from
San Francisco last evening, where he
engaged twenty-four feet of space for the
Los Angeles county exhibit in the state
board of trade rooms.
The chamber exhibit hall will be open
on New Year's day from 1 to 5 p.m.
The secretary of the chamber of com
merce received a letter from Major Tru
man yesterday, dated December 23d, in
which he says:
''Californiaon Wheels arrived here on
the 21st, and will stay here until the
26th. It looks fine, and has the best
place in the tinest depot in America, the
Wisconsin Central. I called on Mr.
Mathes, in charge, and was at once taken
with him. He is an energetic, indus
trous, good man. There was a big at
tendance, and Mathes was giving out
reading matter right and left. I went
back to my exhibit and picked him out
some apples and olives from San Diego
county, some lemons and orange juice, a
cotton stalk and a grape vine from Los
Angeles, some dried fruits, rasins,apples
and lemons from San Bernardino, and
some walnuts, almonds, peanuts etc.,
from Orange. I also took down some
Coronado water and a little wine, tre
mendous) sweet potatoes, and a stack of
literature from all the four counties
named, which he seemed very thankful
for."
A Good Sale.
John 11. Bryan and Adolph Fleish
man have sold a fine residence corner,
at Figueroa and Seventeenth streets, for
$10,000 cash. The buyer is L. Harris,
of the London clothing store, who is
credited with the intention of building
a palatial residence at that point.
A Fatal Mistake.
Physician! make no more fatal mistake than
when they inform patients that nervous heart
troubles come from the stomach and are of
little consequence. Dr. Franklin Miles, the
noted Indiana specin list, has proven the contrary
in his new hook on "Heart Disease." which
may be had free at K. W. Ellis & Co.,
who guarantees and recommends Dr. Miles Uh
equaled New Heart Cure, which has the largest
sale of any heart remedy in the world. It cures
nervous and organic heart disease, short breath,
fluttering, pain or tenderness in the side, arm
or shoulder, irregular pulse, fainting, smother
ing, dropsy, etc. His Restorative Nervine cures
headache, fits, etc.

The Druggists
In Lowell, Mass., agree In saying that they sell
more of Hood's Sarsaparilla than of all other
blood purifiers. For instance:
F. C. Goodale: I sell more of Hood's Sarsapa
rilla thau all other blood purifiers.
A. W. Dows <fc Co.: Hood's takes the lead of all
other sarsaparillas.
C. F. in, a sen a 1.1): We sell more of Hood's Sar
saparilla than of any similar.
Mabstok <fc Shaw: With ub the sale of Hood's
Is 9 to 1 of auy other kind.
F. <St E. Bailey & Co.: Hood's Sarsaparilla !■
one of the best medicines.
Carlton & Hovet: Hood's Sarsaparilla is one
of the best medicines wo have. Its sale i ucrcases
every year.
F. P. Moony: We sell twice as much of Hood's
Barsaparilla as of anything similar.
C. A. Swan: Hood's is tho most popular sarsa
parilla of the day.
Thirty Otheb druggists speak similarly.
This popularity at home, where Hood's Sarsa
parilla and its proprietors have been known for
many years, could not continue if the medicine
did not possess, merit. And these facts should
certainly convince people in other sections of
the country that Hood's Sarsaparilla Is a good,
reliable medicine.
