A Tomale Peddler's Severe Wound—His Partner Craoks Hia Head With a Ham mer—His Injuries. A fine illustration of the proverbial hard skull of the African was afforded the police surgeons, yesterday after noon. At about 3 o'clock John Waiters, a colored man living at 54 Hope street, was brought into police headquarters, with a hole two inches in diameter and half an inch deep over his right eye brow. The frontal bone was badly crushed, and was driven in against the brain. Yet within an hour the solid headed John walked out of the station and went to his home, where he will be further attended to by the police sur geons today. The only thing done for him in the receiving hospital was the elevation of the depressed bone with a simple lever, the operation being per formed by Dr. Bryant, assisted by Dr. Murphy. The injury from which Waiters is suf fering was inflicted upon him by a part ner of his, a colored man named "Doc" Lee. The two are in the tamale busi ness, and had a violent argument on Hope street about taking out the cart, eventually Lee lost his temper, and in his anger grabbed a hammer and with one violent blow drove it into Waiters's skull. He then made his escape. A warrant for his arrest was issued by Judge Owens, and the police are looking for the culprit. Oysters. Those who chanced to read the edi torial in yesterday's issue of the Times, on what they please to term the "Oyßter War," could but surmise that some news or schoolboy had been given a chance to display his ignorance, and he did it well. They go on to say that "Col. Duncan is not to be beaten by a game." Evidently that is so, for busi ness, "not play," has already placed him outside the ring, and the public have no desire to back anything but the favorite, if they can make sure as to which it ia. In thia caae it has been concluaively proven, aa the Morgan Eagle Brand sales are increasing daily, the public desiring to place their money where they know they will get ita equiv alent. The schoolboy alao got hia parallel lines in, but inatead of "Mor gan" being placed third, "Times" would have been better understood by the masses. It ia surprising that the Balti more man did not go to the "Caatle" for a certificate. Probably the reason he did not do ao was, t hn4 the same would have to be paid for at a peice in contrast to the free "ada" given to the Texas oyster. And aa the "Castle" staff have auch poorly lined pockets and such inferior palates that they do not know the difference between a genuine oyster such aa the Morgan and a ahell full of mud, the consequent revenue would hardly warrant the attempt. Aa to the attempted poetry on the 6th page, lunatica may understand it, sane men never. The long and short of the whole matter ia, that the principal topic of conversation in thia city ia about the splendid Morgan Eagle Brand oyater; in fact, "it ia in everybody's mouth." Aa to the Buppoaed Texas oyster, it ia the same as its vendor, a ''Done-can,"—[Adv. A Sterling Institution. Elsewhere appears the Btatement of that old and sterling institution —the oldest bank in Loa Angeles—the Farm ers and Merchanta bank. Against de posits of 1)12,138,673.9(1, it haa available cash to the amount of $1,029,985.07, made up of caah on hand $332,160.41, and cash with other banks, $697,824 66. In addition the bank holds $275,228.64 in TJ. S. bonds, stocks and warrants. Thia gratifying exhibit ie supplemented by a paid-up capital of $500,000; and a surplus of $600,000. Few financial in stitutions in the United States could make a more gratifying exhibit than thia. The new management of the bank ia rivaling the old in the sagacity and success winch are acknowledged on all hands as characterizing it. The Farra era and Merchanta bank ia one of the bulwarka of Loa Angelea county, and its continued prosperity is a source of pleasure to every well wisher of thia section. Mr. H. W. Hellman has con tinued the wise and conservative policy of his brother, Mr. I. W. Hellman, who is winning new laurels aa the preaident of the Nevada bank of San Francisco. BUTTER MAKING. A Warning to the Public. Mra. I>elia McGregor, of 251 South Olive street, who ia the sole owner of the valuable patent process, by which milk is made into butter, deeirea the public to know that I. S. R. Henderson, of 211 West Fourth etreet, or no other person, haa authority to cell the right or make the butter in thia state. Mr. Hen derson has the right for the state of Connecticut, and aa tbe process ia secured to Mra. McGregor by » United States patent, any infringement thereon will be vigorously prosecuted. Take* for a Crank. A semi-fiendish delight often seems to pos sess people of »trong nerves in sneering at those with weak ones. The irritability of the nervous hypochondriac is ridiculed as natural ill temper. The very genuiue and distressing symptoms from wmch he suiters are made tight of. "He" or "she is a erankl" is the cheerful fort of sympa hy with which the nervous invalid meets from the unfeeling and the thoughtless. At the *auie time no com plaint is more defined and real, none has a more easily explainable origin when it is chronic. Imperfe t digestion and assimilation are always accompanied by nervous debility and anxiety. Build up the powers of Mssimi lation and digestion with Hostetter's Stomach Bltteis, and nervous symptom*, sick headaches and a general feeble condition of the system are remedied. Remember that fearful ravages are produced by la grippe among weakly, nervous people. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters cures it, and prevents malaria, rheumatism and kidney complain. Bellevue Terrace.

SANTA MONICA. Postmaster W. D. Vawter has made tbe following statement, showing the amount of business at the postoffice for the year 1891: Postoffice orders Issued.. $ 9,132 08 Fees on same 9171 Postal notes Issued 1,002 14 Fees oa same 16 22 Received from postmast er, New York 1,725 00 Cash on hand 223 4a Total $12,190 03 Postoffice orders paid $9,534 71 Postal notes paid 469 68 Remitted to P.

It will be seen by the above that the increase for 1891 over 1890 is $486.22. Santa Monicans think this is a Very flattering showing; especially is this the case when the increase for the same period of time for the Los Angeles post office is only $810. The young men of the town are organ izing an athletic club. Wella-Fargo shipped 0657 pounds of fish to Los Angeles and San Francisco during the last three days. The Traffic association of California have sent a copy of the petition they are circulating in behalf of the Nicaragua canal project to Mr. E. J. Vawter, who is circulating the same for signatures. It is to be hoped that every one will readily see the benefit to accrue to the coast and sign the same. The Original New Orleans Uncle Tom's Cabin company play at Steere's opera house on Monday evening of next week. It is the finest troupejthat has ever played to a Santa Monica audience, and proves that Santa Monica ia grow ing as a show town as well as otherwise. A chapter of the Eastern Star was or ganized at Masonic hall on Monday last by Brother lorenzo A. Rockwell, who was empowered by Grand Patron C, C. Bush of California to confer the degrees, Alien thirty-seven new members were duly initiated into the mysteries of the order. The following officers vveie rec ommended to the grand worthy patron for appointment: Lorenzo A. Rockwell, W. P.; Mrs. Louisa D. Rockwell, W. M.; Mrs. Addie E. Sogers, A. M., and the following were elected at the request of the worthy matron: Mrs. F. K. Giilia, treasurer; Mias Mary M. Chapin, secre tary; Mra. Belle Vawter. conductress; Miss Carrie M. Willis, associate con iductreas; Mra. S. J. Feather, Aidah; •' Mra. Kale Lowmann, Ruth; Misa Ida M. Dunham, Father - r Miaa E. A. Volk man, Martha; Miß« Mary A. Suite, Electa; (Mrs. M. Emerson, chaplain; Mrs. A. M. Ellia, warder; sentinel, H. D Suita. The chaptsr starts out with forty-two members, with a large number of applications, and have chosen the euphonious title of San ta Monica- by-the- Sea chapter of the Eaatern Star order. It will grow to exert an important in fluence, a* it ahould by reason of the benign influence of the ladies; but I must not encroach on Brother Fiaher's department "the ladies," for Paat Maa ter Brown, says he holds lettera patent on the subject. Maaa Charlotte Caatio, of New Mex ico, ia spending a few daya at Santa Monica. Deputy District Attorney Blades and stenographer Cherry enjoyed Wednes day at the seaside. Mr. and Mrs. James E. Powers, of Dubuque. lowa, are sojourning here for a few daya. I. C. H. La Grippe 1 The tendency of this disease toward pneumonia is what makes it dangerous. La grippe requires precisely the same treatment as a severe cold. Chamber lain's Cough Remedy is famous for its cures of severe colds. Thia remedy succeaafully counteracta the tendency of tbe disease to result in pneumonia, provided that proper care be taken to avoid expoaure when recovering from the attack. Careful inquiry among the many thousands who nave uaed thia remedy during the epidemics of the* past two yeara has failed to discover a single cage that has not recovered or that haa reaulted in pneumonia.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1892. « Since New Year's day we have been bu.ily engaged making change, in our store, rear, ranging and replacing departments. Although we have made no effort to do business in view of the fact that the carpenters, plumber., paper hanger, and painter, had possesion of them, all department, .how a marked Increase. The arrangement of onr store as it, stand, at present i. the result of the necessities of our businei. forced upon v. by experience. It 1, S ur last and best change. We are now at home. The domestic department occupie. a space heretofore de voted to the dress goods, and hag ample room to display its magnificent line of merchandise. We .ail into the new year with flying colors. The management ha. guaranteed to increase the sales of the house 25 per cent during the coming year, and from the manner in whick we start out, there will be little doubt of its accomplishment. DRESS GOODS DEPARTMENT. If you will step into this department today or even gaze at the values that we have on display in our show windows, we think it would dispel all doubt as to our future policy in our determination to do the dress goods trade of this town. "We have moved to the center aisle so as to give you more light, more room and' more conveniences in selection. There never was since the time immemorial a finer stock of dress goods placed on the Los Angeles market at such low prices aa ours of today, reinforced by 150 to 200 pieces of varioua stylea received from New York aince the Ist of January. Having contemplated thia change aome time prior to the lat, we instructed our buyera in New York to aelect for ua the handaomest and cheapest line of dresß gooda that the late market could aupply. At 25c a yard we sell you a line ol stripes, plaids and checked fancy dress goods, fn differ s'ellfrom 35™ oTocf yard" P eCt ' r ° m; g °° dS that We wlll 8™»»"ee are worth to At 35c a yard we sell you a lin° of all wool, 38-inch dress goods, in styles and patterns cUyat 60c a yaJd V " y neWest Bnd laiest: B°° Qa that cannot be duplicated in this At 37Kc we sell you a line of aH wool, plaid dress goods, in twenty different shades-a quality of goods that cost to manufacture at least 40c, and goods that are usually soldl by•th* retailer at 00c to *5c a yard. * 3 v At 45c we sell you a linepf all wool dress goods, in plaids and .tripe goods, that earlier in Ihlyy^iffltf"' l the price at which we quote these goods at is honestly less than . t4^ w , esel L y0 !? a . lin l o,plaid andBtrl Ped camel's hair bourette effeots, In fact the most beautiful goods that we have ever seen sold under 75c to 85c; we can assure you that our purchasing agents in New York have outdone themselves in the way of choice selections. ~ . H A » ase . we » how y° u * fano v dress goods-goods that during the season were sold at U a yard the patterns are entirely new, not a house in this 05e. n snown any 01 the above mentioned goods at any price; all wool and V%. yards wide, We aeaure you that during tbe ten years that we have been in thia town that we have never had a line of dreaa goods that would compare with these in quality and value by 25 per cent of the price that we are offering these at today. The policy of thia houae to sell the beat merchandise foi the leaat money will ace moro buainees transacted within ita doors than the Loa Angelea public have ever wit nessed in local trade. DOMESTIC DEPARTMENT. This department beyond doubt, both in character, quality and size of stook carried, as well aa the number of salesmen employed, haa always led any similar department in town. Prior managements have made the domeatic department the leading feature of the house. The preaent management, while carrying this department to ita full limit, and adding everything that ia new and novel to it,, desires to still further increaae what has been so favorably begun, and in its new quarters finds ample room to accomplish it. We are showing a line of all wool dress flannels at 35c a yard; embrace the most hand some designs in stripes and various colorings; never a yard left our house before this week under 50c; they are remarkably cheap. A line of Scotch flannels just received today, guaranteed to be imported from Scotland, at 50c a yard; these goods are worth 75c and cost 51c, with duty paid, to land in the city of San Francisco. At 10c we have today a special line of striped and polka dot chuda cloths; these goods have been selling all season along at 15c a yard, and this offering of them at 10c for the choicest patterns, no old styles or plugs, is a remarkable cut for a staple article that cost to produce. We have just received from New York direct from the mill on invoice of flannels covering from .$3OOO to »4000, c nbracing the various kinds of red, white and blue flannels, ln plain, twillc), shaker and other flannels; we have marked these at a uniform ratio of profit, lower than ever any flannel came into our house: being late in tho reason when we made this large purchase, we bought them at most reasonable prices, and tell them as they were bought. LADIES' UNDERWEAR DEPARTMENT. We have just received from New York sample lines of ladies', children's and infants' wool and cotton knit skirts, which we have marked for sale at a very small advance owing to the lateness of the seaaon. Children's wool knit skirts from 50c to 980. Ladies' cotton knit skirts, extra heavy, ln blaok or balbriggan, 02c. Ladies' all wool knit skirts at 11.25. Ladles' extra fine knit skirts, all wool, at '3. Ladies' sanitary natural wool merino vests at 50c An extra heavy quality of ladies' high neck and long sleeved jersey ribbed balbiiggiui vests at 50c. Ladies' camel's hair, cashmere finish, wool vests at 75c; our rogular price is 11. We call your attention to our corset stock which has been reinforced by several new, lines of corsets, surpassing in value anything that we have ever shown heretofore. Our $1.25 corset is the best corset ma nufaotured by anybody to .ell at that price. Our corsets range in price from 50c to |5, and for quality of each tho price cannot be equalled. We will be more than pleased to have you come ia and ace the changes, that we have made throughout our atorea. We think that you will agree that they are most beneficial all around. In trading you can do so much more comfortable than heretofore, having more room, more seats, more light, and everything made eaaier and more acceptable for you. The diaposition of our men's clothing has enabled ua to briag forward our hat department, extend our furnishing goods department, and giv« our boys' clothing department full sweep. Our shoe department haß been doubled in size and capacity, the entrance to it enlarged, and by carrying the beat merchandise for the leaat money, we expect our aales to keep pace with our improvements.
