On Tuesday, about 4 o'clock in Ep Times: I expected to fulfill my jand tumble over each other, going | the afternoon, Perry Shelton, a boy | promise of writing to the Ties long } te hav would have written a more glowing letter, but I have seen more of the wonders and the beauties of the eountry now, and can perhaps give a more settled opinion. They call this season of the year spring here, but I suppose it is be- cause the country is settled by exst- ern people and like customs, names cling to them, and they call it spring because it is that season ‘back east.” For to go into an orange or lemon orchard and see the trees bended with the beautiful yellow fruit, it looks like fall to a tender-foot. But then the same trees are covered with blossoms at the same time. April is the month for picking oranges and lemons, and we have seen wagon loads of them in the orchards ready for shipment. We landed in California at Pasa- dena, a suburb it might be called, of Los Angelos, the Pasadenians call their town the paradise of the world. And surely if lovely homes and fine climate make a paradise then Pasadena can lay claim to the honor. Pasadena has a great many east- ern people who have an abundance of lucre, and they spend it lavishly in beautifying their homes. As all kinds of tropical fruits and plants grow here, it is an easy matter to make a lovely place in a few years. Roses bloom the year round, and in- stead of picket fences, lawns are en- closed by roses and palm trees, that is, some of them. Nature has made the climate for California, but man has greatly as- sisted nature in making it beautiful, for without water, in many places, there are now beautiful orchards of tropical fruits,which would be a des- ert. Much of the best land has been reclaimed from the desert by irriga- tion, and the time is coming when the word desert will be entirely | washed out of California by irriga- tion. Southern California has over- boomed itself and at present is suf- fering from the effects of it. But we have the country and it is going ahead steadily and surely, and it won't be long till the country will begin a more substantial growth, one that will last. Now let me say something about this country ds a field of fortune. The gold don’t grow here on trees any more than it does in Bates coun- ty, and for a poor man Bates is as good a place as this. I would not advise any one to come here to make a living by the days’ work or expecting to find a soft job. The soft jobs are ail taken up, but if a fellow wants tv try the reali- ties of life by carrying a hod up a three-story building, or something of that kind, he can get about $3a day. Ordinary laborers get $2, board can not be had for less than $6 a week, so there isn’t much left to get rich on. Girls who want to go out as cooks, waiters, etc, in ho- | tels or private famileis get good wages, they get $25 a monthand up- ward, and their board. As for us we are well satisfied and think we can do well. One of the strangest to a new | easterner is who are going to live in this country.

Martin Wilhams, the labor agi- tator, declares that the union labor party is only an attempt to galvanize the old greenback party, and that he isn’t in with it. “The greenback party,” said he, “was like a bumble bee. It was big- may galvanize it but they'll only make the eyes roll and the arms twitch. Im tired of setting up with the corpse. I'm not a democrat and I'm not a republican, and I'm not a mugwump.

Clinton, Mo., May 12.—The coun- ty court, which has been in session since Monday adjourned this after- noon. The most important busi- ness before it this session was the petition of E. Costello, asking for a saloon license. Since the local op- tion law was declared void by the circuit court, on account of some irregularities of ordering the elec- | tion, parties have been circulating petitions for saloon license. That of E. Costello was first presented. The court held that since by their votes they wanted no saloons, they would require two-thirds of the res- lident tax-paying citizens in the block to sign the petition. The contest then hinged on Sam Lee, an ‘almond eyed Celestial who has a | laundry in the block, and who had | ! siened the petition. Thecourt held him not a legal petitioner, and thus the j loeal option law. ave no saloons without a ger at its birth thanever after. They | out of court, and Clin- other barrel, and in setting the gun down to reload, the barrel that fail- ed at first, discharged, the whole load striking his body just back of right breast and coming out a little above the left breast. Drs. Smith and Cundiff were called and examin- ed and dressed the wound. In prob- ing, the doctors found great wads of the boy's clothing and a few shot imbedded between the breast bone and the outside; they also found one rib considerably shattered. The wound is very dangerous, and should internal hemorhage be going on, will prove fatal—Pleasant Hill Lo- eal. Missonri Murderers to Hang. Jefferson City, May 7.—The su- preme court to-day rendered opin- ions fixing the doom of two murder- ers and naming June 22nd as the | day when both are to be hanged. One of the condemned criminals is Henry Landgrof, who killed Annie Fisch, his betrothed, in St. Louis, in March 1885, and was convicted of murder in the first degree in the criminal court of St. Louis in March 1887, and, after an unsuccessful at- tempt to obtain a new trial, appeal- ed. The other, Peter Hronek, killed his wife in St. Joseph, and was con- victed of murder in the first degree at the June term, 1887, of the Bu- chanan county circuit court. Among other sentences affirmed were those of George Rush, of Jas- per county, convicted of robbery in the first degree and sentenced for ten years in the state’s prison, and Frank Martin, sentenced in Kansas City for a similar term for assault with intent to kill. Two young women in Halem, N. ¥., chewed gum for a prize Satur- day night last. Miss Lottie Grimes won the prize, a gold watch, by chewing eighteen boxes of gum. She used a latteral twist in chewing which was very effective. A Great Battle Is continually going on in the hu- man system. The demon of impure blood strives to gain victory over the constitution, to ruin health, to drag victims to the grave. A good reliable medicine like Hood’s Sarsa- parilla is the weapon with which to defend one’s self, drive the desper- ate enemy from the field, and restore peace and bodily health for many years.
