will be presented at the opera house
on Thursday and Friday evenings next,
with a matinee on Saturday. At the
closing performance on Saturday night
Mr. Morrison will appear in his great
character of "Jagon," in Lizzie Vig
oreaux'e adaptation of the "Stranglers
of Paiis." In this character Mr. Mor
rison as an artist and a delineator of
character appears at his bust. He so
thoroughly disrobes the character of its
brutality, that it becomes really attract
ive because of its naturalness. The star
has made many characters famous in
his histrionic career, but certainly he
has assayed no role in wbich he rises to
such a pitch of perfection. On this oc
casion Miss Vigoreaux, tbe talented
adapter of the piece, will assume the
role of "Matilde," a character in which
she has gained considerable fame.
The company will remain over Sun
day in Los Angeles, which is a guarantee
that the performance will be given com
plete in every detail. The sale of seats
opens this morning at 10 o'clock at the
box office.
STICKS TO HIS STORY.
W. M. Reina Maintains that the Ar
guellos Robbed Him.
W. M. Reina, the man found near.
Arguello's corral in an unconscious
condition, on Saturday night, was
released from the city receiving hospital
at 6 o'clock yesterday morning.
The police have so far learned nothing
about the assault which he claims was
committed on him by the Arguellos, but
he insisted that his story of having
been battered and robbed of his horse,
watch and $60 is absolutely true. When
Reina left the station he said he would
swear out a complaint against the Ar
guellos this morning.
A saloon keeper on Aliso street says
Reina was in his place, and became so
boisterous that he had to be thrown out,
but the man's story as to the theft of
his watch would appear to be true, by
reason of bis still- having on a piece of
the watch cbatn 'when brought into the
Station. His horse and wagon were found
on Aliso street yesterday morning.
ROBBED HIS EMPLOYERS.
A Young Englishman Who Came to
Grief at Redondo.
An English lad who answers to the
high-sounding name of George Piercy
Harding Brook was placed under arrest
by Constable Foyer yesterday and
brought up from Redondo on a charge
of petit larceny.
Ton boy, who is not ft ver 16_yeara oi
several days ago and asked for work.
He was given employment at the Ocean
View house in the capacity of clerk.
Yesterday morning about 10 o'clock the
proprietor found his cash short to the
tune of $36, and his new clerk was also
missing.
The officers started to look him up
and shortly after noon Constable Foyer
came up with him on tbe county road
near Rosecraus. Brook had made good
time, having covered ten miles of his
journey to Los Angeles, which he was
making for with the hope of escaping.
He was brought to this city on the
evening train and given quarters at the
county jail. The lad says this is his
first offenae. He came from Chicago to
San Bernardino and from there went to
Redondo. He beat his way from Chi
cago to the coast.
A MIXED-UP ROW.
Mysterious Shooting in a Sonora-town
Adobe—Two Stories.
A telephone message was received at
the police station last night, requesting
that an officer be sent to quell a distur
bance at Alpine and Oastelar streets.
The sender of the message said there
was a big row in progress and a number
of shots had been fired.
Mounted Officer Farmer was detailed
to investigate, and went to the place in
hot haste. A private watchman, who
sent word to the station, told the officer
that the neighborhood had been thrown
into great excitement by the discharge
of fire-arms in a house occupied by
a Mexican family, which report
says, has been in a state of disruption
for some time over tbe disposition of
property left by a relative who died
some time ago. When the shots were
fired the women living in the bouse
rushed into the streat apparently in
great terror.
Tho officer went to the house indicated
and was told that the women had a short
time previous discovered a man prowl
ing about the rear of the premises and
ordered him off, when he raised a shot
gun and fired, and then made off. No
trace of the man could be found, and
the neighbors insist that their story of
a family row is the true side of the
affair.

A SUNDAY JAG.
Isaac Lane Gets Full and Threatens
to Kill His Wife.
A Sunday jag was the cause of the
arrest of Isaac Lane yesterday afternoon
on a charge of disturbing the peace.
Lane proceeded to demolish things in
general in the neighborhood of his
home, 1009 West First street, and with
the aid of a hand-axe succeeded in mak
ing kindling wood of a number of arti
cles of furniture, and after disposing of
considerable of bis household goods,
threatened to kill his wife. She aroused
the neighbors and after a lively scrim
mage in which Lane attempted to use
his axe, he was overpowered and held
captive until the arrival of Officer
Vignes, who escorted him to the station.

THE LOS ANGELES HERALD: MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST 31. 1891
IN SOCIETY.
Saturday night the regular weekly
ball at the Arcadia took place. The
superb ballroom waa crowded to its ut
most with a merry parly of society's
belles and beaux, who danced to the
charming harmonica of the Arend or
chestra. It was a notable event here
on account of tbe many different local
ities represented, proving that the city
by the sea and her matchless hotel have
established a reputation outside of the
confines of Southern California. The
Bupper, as usual, was one of the Ar
cadia's famous ones, which was made
palatable by a copious supply of the
nectar of the gods. During the tennis
tournament a tennis ball will probably
be given in honor of the association,
and next Saturday evening another
ball will be given to the friends and
patrons of the hotel.

rhe Queerest of Deer Stories.
George Bell, keeper of Picnic Island,
in the lower harbor, has two little girls,
to whom a pet deer belonging to the zoo
of R. S. Warner & Co., on the island, is
very much attached. The little fawn
follows one child wherever it goes. Yes
terday the children stole away from
home to a place on the wharf, when the
youngest one accidentally fell overboard.
The deer at once jumped in after the
child, which soon sank out of sight.
The deer then swam to the beach and
ran at lightning speed to the keeper's
house, where the mother of the child
was. It reared up on his hind feet, blew
and snorted and cut queer antics so as
to attract Mrs. Bell's attention. It then
started down the beach in an excited
run and jumped into the water again.
Mra. Bell missed her children, and, drop
ping everything, ahe followed the saga
cious animal, which she saw plunge from
the wharf into tho bay.
One leg of her little girl was sticking
out of the water, and when rescued she
was unconscious. By rolling and rub
bing the child was resuscitated. Captain
Bob Warner is so proud of hia fawn that
he has ordered it a handsome collar and
silver bell. He says a thousand dollars
could not buy it.—-Tampa (Fla.) Cor. At
lanta Constitution.
A Dead Pauper and a Dead Dog.
Judging from some disclosures which
were made at a meeting of the Warring
ton guardians last week, a dead pauper
in that union is regarded in very much
the same light as a dead dog. Recently
a man who had beep receiving parochial
relief was found dead atEarlestown, and
the body was taken in a barrow to sev
eral public houses, "but no one would
receive it."
Ultimately a temporary resting place
was secured for the corpse in a stable,
and two or three days later it was found
that "rats had got to the body." Some
body, it is clear, deserves censure, and
very severe censure, too, for this dis
graceful business; but nothing came of
the discussion at the guardians' meeting,
and as the deceased was only a pauper
I suppose no more will be heard of the
matter.—London Truth;
Italians in Cincinnati are learning a
thing or two, or rather those who vend
fruit are. Some of them, who blocked
the atreet with their pushcarts, were ar

People's Store, Monday, Aug. 31.
It requires bat an entrance into our stores to come into contact with the huge
piles of merchandise stacked all over the various departments to comprebend
what our fall purchases will be when the goods have all arrived.
There is one thing apparent at first glance noticing the prices that are tick
eted upon these various piles that merchandise is both good and cheap.
We have been doing business here ten years, lacking two months, and at no
time during this period have we had such a quality of merchandise for the prices
we are now showing. This season will be a marked one—marked because the
prices will be lower in every Hue than they have ever been before.
The People's Store for years has been marveled at by tbe merchandising com
munity, and our prices have counted us insolvent in tbe eyes of those people
many and many a time, but this fall will resnlt in more and more clamoring than
has ever been beard. We propose to put the screws right down on everything,
and show our complete mastery by reason of prices in all classes of merchandise.
That we can accomplish this is a foregone conclusion. We possess both the
means and the ability, and with each invoice that reaches us we propose to make
Rome bowl and squeal. We start out with the knowledge that our merchandise
is good and cheap, and we are more than t atisfled that if you will come into our
stores it will be self-evident to you that such is the case. An inspection is all we
ask; you will do the rest.

Meritorious Merchandise at Meritorious Prices
It is needless for us to tell you that ne are receiving new goods in every de
partment. We are increasing their merit and worth, while we are reducing the
price that they have been sold at. In tbe past you have come to (he People's
Store because you could buy goods cheaper there than elsewhere; because the
price was the lowest. In the future you will come to the People's Store because
the merchandise is the best and the price the lowest. An inspection will con
vince you, as we know that our merchandise in its entirety is cheaper than in any
similar establishment West of the Rocky Mountains. This is what we are trying
to prove to you, and once you ascertain it, you will enter the portals of the Peo
ple's Store with confidence.
CLOTHING DEPARTMENT.
We have taken out of our boys' clothing department several lines of suits and
laid them upon a table in the Men's Clothing Department. We have marked the
prices upon them, anci-are to be sold at them, which is foreign to our boys' cloth
ing, and you .will find them the best and tbe cheapest in thia market. Every
thing marked in plain figures, one price. You are at once your own salesman as
well as patron. If the goods suit you, and the price is right, you buy them; if
they do not,.you leave them. That ia the seoret of our whole business—no bick
ering or bartering. It is- idle for us to say that we have tbe best line of boys'
clothing in this town; however, we think that we have sold more boys' clothing
than one-half dozen concerns put together, and that entitles us to some prestige,
both to quality and price.
We commence our boys' suits at 11.50 in regular suits and 75c in sailors, and run up as high
as you are inclined to pay aiming to give you tbe best merchandise for the money that can be
purchased, and asking your patronage upon the basis that we do give you the bust merchandise
for your money that it will purchase.
In men's clothing we have »n sale a line of Prince Albert suits and some thiee-button cuta
ways at $15; a suit cut from our own price of 122 SO and $24 ; there is not one of these suits that
does not cost the house less than $16.50 to $19; we think that is evidence that they are cheap
at these prices,
f We are also selling a line of $15 suits which is the hest merchandise you can buy at any
price. This is what we base our trade on. If you can buy better anywhere for less why of
course we are not ln it.
SHOE DEPARTMENT.
In this department, as ln every other one in our establishment, it is our aim to give the best
merchandise that tho mouey can ouy for the price. We claim to be able, doing the volume of
business that we do, to buy cheaper, to buy more goods and to use more goods than auy other
concern in this town. We do bny more goods and we sell more goods in our Joint stores, and the
quantity Is what makes the price.
Our $2 ladies' shoe is the best shoe in this tewn tor the price, and we contend that no one can
purchase it for with in 60 cents a pair. If they can give you a shoe for $2 that ls equal to ours,
why, our batteries are silenced. We do not place ourselves upon an equality with other mer
chants; we claim to do better. We mus do better. We must show a difference between our
merchandise and others at the same price. It we cannot do this, why, all our puff and blow,
printers' ink,etc., avaiicth not, and we are evidently in the soup.
Our $2. AO ladles'shoe IS equal, if not superior, to any $3 OO shoe in this market. In the
ten years that we have been in the shoe line we. have tried more than one hundred different
manufacturers to get these lines of shoes right, we have finally found a man who will make the

FURNISHING GOODS.
. i
It iB a certainty that our department is the cheapest and best in this part of
the country; there is no room for doubt. We sold a dealer a large bill of merchan
dise, allowed him to buy them from us at what he paid for them, and made more
money off of him than we do when we sell them by the single piece.
We are enlarging this department, carrying a more complete and better assortment of
goods, selling them at the same proportion that we are selling our cheaper ones. In the course
of time it will be said that the People's Store furnishing department is the cheapest and best and
. most varied in this town. •
See the line ol underwear that we are selling at 25c, and see the line that you will pay 35c
for any place else.. .... • t „ . t .
See the line of underwear that we are selling for 40c, yon can't hoy it under 50c; in baying
two items yon save 90s, if the items are more costly yon save a larger proportion of money.
Our business ls conducted up >n the basis of percentage, and the cheaper goods at the same
proportion of percentage as the higher ones.
Say, if yon save 10c on a 40c article on an 80c article yon will save 20c.
Our line of white meriuo underwear at 50c can't be bought from the closest concern at
60c, and the majority ask 750 for tbem.
Our summer wool undorwear.in natural or white, at $1, can't be found at the closest estab
lishment under $1.25.
The People's Store did not build up its present business upon wind, for if it was inflated,
one good crack would have settled its hash, and iv the course of Its existence it has had a great
many; it sands upon the rook of sterling worth and merit and can't be shaken.
Boys' flannelette blouses ot shirt waists, 50c; you will pay 75c for them elsewheie.

housewife who is desirous of making her money go as far as it possibly can, these salesrooms

kept for storing empty boxes, we have utilised for this purpose. Cannot we sell cheaper than
crockery stores that pay $300 a month rent.

they are not oheaper than that they ask you at a stove store.
