C. M. CROSS, President JUDD SMITH, Cashier OF MEETING MONDAY NIGHT RE SULTED IN SOME WORK OF INTEREST-BOARD SEEKS TO COMBINE CHARTER AND PARK ELECTION IN ONE PROPOSITION IN WHICH A PARK BOND ISSUE IS INVOLVED The Hanford board of city trustees met Monday night In session. The work done was not particularly Interesting, with the exception that the proposition came up that it might be a good plan to combine the election on the new proposed and submitted city charter with the proposition to acquire a city park, and bond the city for the necessary amount therefor. The matter of having the two or three propositions linked up together, was, after discussion, referred to the newly employed city attorney, J.

L. C. Irwin, who will report to the board later as to the power of the board to present these several propositions at one and the same time. NEW STREET SWEEPER Another matter of Importune came up. That was the street sweeping contract.

Brown, who offered to sweep the pavements for $3 a day, and the other was from James Itessone, who ofTered to do the work for $3.80. After considering the matter, the board awarded the contract to Brown at $5 a day.

THE TAX LEVY The board also considered the matter of taxation In the city, nud an ordinance drafted was presented and was read fey the (it at time, and will come up for further consideration in the usual manner In Its proper course. The ordinance in question relates to the matter of raising money for the con-' duct of the city government during the coming year.

When asked why, he Is reported to have answered: "The automobile taxicabs In front of my hotel have been taking In $20,000 a month. Why should I -not take that $20,000 myself.

Why should I lot a cab company or any other kind of a company take business thatN belongs to the Knickerbocker Hotel. St Louis Times. HIS FORTUNE "They say you have a godly fortune," said the political associate: "I hope your wealth Is not predatory? "No;" answered the candidate. "Its not predatory. Its oratory."

Washington Star. VISIT OF IMPORTANT OFFICERS OF THE ORDER GREETED BY i MEMBERS GREAT BANQUET. There was a meeting of the Improved Order of Redmen held at the lodge room of Umpqua Tribe in this city on Monday and as announced in the Sentinel, the great sachem, Jules S. Godeau, and great trustee, If. Gut-stadt, were the guests of honor.

There were about 50 members of the I. R. M. present at the meeting, and the lodge was devoted to the regular rou-1 tine. After tne meeting the members adjourned to Bsrey's Grill, where a banquet had been prepared for the occasion.

There was a happy gathering and notwithstanding the good old summer time, the tables were well filled. Albert Rubenstein, the acknowledged premier toastmaster and past sachem of Umpqua tribe, was in charge of the program of speechmaking at the ban-qut t. Mr. Rubenstein filled ihe Li 11 at eveiy moment. Witty and clear in lii-thought, he presented the toasts in a manner that pleased all present.

The address oi the occasion was made by H. Gutstadt, a grand trustee of the order. He enthused all the Redmen about the banquet board with his eloquence which depicted the strength of the order fraternally. The address of Great Sachem J. S.

Godeau was also received with applause by the Redmen. Other remarks were made by 11. S. Stearns, the Secretary oi the Kings County Promotion Assiiciatton, and one of the boomers of the county. Mr.

Stearns is not only a promotional but he is really an orator. His efforts last night pinned him to the board as a standard speaker for all things mat appertain to the promotion of Kings county, the park acquisition und the charter, according to reports we have ueard. C. B. Rourke also made some remarks that pleased the banqueters.

Mr. Rourke Is a Redman, but he is also a defender of the shamrock, and it makes no difference with him what comes, he has a way to treat it. W. R. Norrish also made a happy address.

A party from Coalinga, arrived on an automobile, and in the crowd were Win. Cheney, Bert Kinney, Claude Walker, W. Oldham and Clyde Williams. Another auto started from the great oil center, but like the ship that never returned, their whereabouts are unknown at this writing. At the banquet Messrs.

Cheney, Kinney, Walker, Oldham and Williams responded to toasts appropriately and to the delight of all present. At a late hour the company dispersed, and all was over excepting the recollection of a splendid meeting and banquet. 18 (By trntted rressi Dubuque, Iowa, Aug. 4. Senator William B.

Allison died here today of heart disease. He was the senior member of tbe senate of the United States, and was born at Ohio, March 2, 1S29. He was elected to the U. S. Senate ami took his seat March 4th, 1S73, and has held that office ever since.

PETITION FOR CON- STABLE PRESENTED A well signed petition was presented to board of supervisors Tuesday asking that H.

W. Armstrong be appointed as constable for tho township of Artnona. It is understood that I (hero will be several other petitions, before tho board before the adjourn-1 ment. Old cotton rags wanted at Sentinel I ofiloe. Cash paid for them.

J. II, Johnson, the man who founded the Hanford Mill and Electric Light plants in this city many years ago, which plant afterwards became the property of Jhe H. G. Lacey has been reduced to penury. Once counted weulthy, Mr.

Johnson has lost all his wealth, and the cause of his trouble is said to be that he embraced Spiritualism. The mediums? got hold of him. and he married as about his fifth wife, a woman who pretended at least to be a Socialist. She induced him to place th' title of his property in her hands, and then, it is said, "kicked him out of the house and home and her affections. Monday Mr.

Johnson appeared before the board or supervisors in Tulare comity and asked for county support. He wanted $30 a month, and In support of his claim presented the fact that In tormer years he had paid much money in taxes to the county. The supervisors granted him $10 a month to lilp him exist during the twilight of his earthly career. The history of Plckayune Johnson, it wrilten, would make a story that would sell, and should lie tell it in its entirety to some novelist and let him publish a book on shares" Johnson might be made rich again. FRESNO Fresno, August 4.

C. II. Loper, w.io has been in the Fresno jail for several days, suspected of the murder of Joe Vernett, near Letcher, in Fresno comity, lias broken down, following the discovery of the old mans mutilated body in a shallow grave, and has admitted to Sheriff CliUtenden that he killed the old mountaineer. Loper says he shot Vernett in the head with a ride and then dragged the body some distance from the cabin and buried It. He chopped off the legs with an axe and mutilated tho body in other ways.

The killing, he says, was done on the impulse of the moment, without premeditation. Loper has been charged with murder. SOME FAME It is quite interesting to note at the present time that Hanford and Kings county is enjoying some little reputa-ton In Los Angeles and vicinity as being a farming community where irrigation Is cheap, and the ideal place for the general farmer. The writer stepped into a real estate office In the small village of Inglewood last Saturday, and when it was known that he was Irom Hanford, the proprietor of the office dug up a copy of me new Kings county booklet and began to Are questions In regard to the conditions prevailing in this locality. In the vicinity ot Inglewood water for- Irrigation which Is supplied from wells by.

pumping Is charged for to the farmers at the rate of $2.00 per hour, and when the real estate man was Informed that land could be irrigated lu Kings county for at least 50 cents per acre, he appeared to be Incredulous and dropped the subejet. Land In the vicinity of the place mentioned above Is selling at about $300 per acre with nothing growing on It, and It seems that the limit has about been reached for people who must earn their bread by labor, a that they are looking for communities where cheaper land and cheaper water will help them to make a home. In seme way the fame of Hanford, and Kings county ha3 been spread and now, nearly every l-eal estate office has collections In some way with this portion of the San Joaquin valley, and if the efforts of tho real estate men are successful, there should be a great Influx of settlers here during the coining fall ar.d winter. WHAT IS BEST FOR INDIGESTION? Mr. A.

Robinson of Drumqutn, Ontario, has been troubled for years with indigestion, and recommends Chamberlains Stomach and Liver Tablets as "the best medicine I ever used. If troubled with indigestion or constipation give them a trial. They are certain to prove beneficial. They are easy to take and pleasant In effect. Price, 25 cents.

A writ of injunction is undoubtedly government; so is a writ of mandamus or a writ of habeas corpus; so is an or a judge's charge, or the verdict of a jury or the granting of an appeal. Every oAiclal action of a court Is government.

Every official action of a common council, a 1' gislature or Congress is government. Every ofii-cial action of a mayor, a governor or a president is government. When Mr. Iiryan rails against government by injunction it is doubtful if he himself ha3 a definite or coherent idea of what he is trying to say. Certainly there Is nothing definite or coherent iu his attack on the so-called injunction plank in the Republican platform; for all that Mr.

Bryan is finally able to evolve from his criticisms is that "tilts Is the treatment received by ihe wage-earners from the national convention and Republican party. New York World. Rev. Warren T.

Rev. Howe leaves school work to take up the pastorate of the First Presbyterian church at Selma, from which he has received a call. His successor has not yet been appointed. THE FIREMEN The -regular meeting of the Hanford Fire Department took place Monday. One feature of the gathering was the distribution of the uniforms recently-ordered through McCourt Newport, of this city.

There were over 30 of the fine blue suits with brass trimmings, and the suits consist of cap. coat and pantaloons, all made to measurement. The goods are up to standard, and are sure fits. The firemen have acquired this uniform principally through the efforts of Harry P. Brown and those who have responded to his proposition and the fund that has paid for the uniforms thus far has been subscribed by the citizens, a list ot the donors having appeared in the Sentl nel.

The bill Is not all liquidated, but will be, and a list of all donors will be printed again in the Sentinel soon At meeting Monday night the bill of Dr. R. W. Musgrave for treatment ot Driver Geo. Howard and the fire horse, burned to blisters In the Are which destroyed Jos.

Schnereger's house, was presented. Said bill amounted to $200 and was accepted. The good doctor made it easy for the Aremen, however, by rendering the bill receipted in full. As he had considerable to do toward restoring the right arm of Howard to its natural condition, and also helped the horse that was so badly burned, it was supposed that he htl a just claim against the department, and he had. His gen erous donation of the bill was received with applause by the Aremen, and a vote of thanks for the doctors generosity was duly recorded ou the minute book by the secretary by motion duly made and carried.

The Are boys know a friendly doctor when they And him out. THE REPUBLICAN IS MISTAKEN It Is stated in the Fresno Republican that J. H. Johnson, of Visalia, sold the Hanford mill and Electric Light Works to II. G.

Lacey of this city, for $20,000. That Is a mistake. The Laeeys paid Johnson the sum ot for the plant. Johnsons predicament is to be deplored. The old man has been a benefactor In many ways.

Had he not been "hornswoggled by a cult that stretched his leg until his pocketbook fell out, he would have been In good circumstances today. He had a screw loose somewhere. GENERALLY SPEAKING When a foreign nobleman marries an American heiress Is he not checkmated? Lippincott's. HANFORD SCHOOL BOARD LETS THE JOB TO THE ROYAL HEATING CO. FIRE ESCAPE MATTER CONSIDERED.

A special meeting o' the Hanford Grammar School Board was held Monday for the purpose of considering propositions of installing a modern heating and ventilating system in the new grammar school building. Trustees Dawson, Hickman and Dodge were all present. In response to the notices sent out the Morgan of San Francisco, and the Royal Heating Co. appeared through their representatives and submitted detailed plans of heating plants, and submitted bids. Tile Hid of the Morgan which was on what is known as the warm air Plenum Heating and Ventilating system, was $2,200 ana if thermostas were installed in every room, $720 additional.

The Royal Heating of which the Horlock-Clow Co. of this city are local representatives, put in plans and bid on a system much similar, only their 1 lan contemplates heating the air by -team, while the Morgan proposition uses a furnace. The bid of the Royal was $1883. After considering the two proiwsl-tions the board unanimously accepted the bid of the Royal and Clerk Dawson was instructed to enter into a contract on behalf oi the board with I he suecessful bidders. The work of insti'ling the plant will be begun immediately, and when completed the building will have one of the most up-to-date heating and ventilating plants in the state.

The system Is one that forces the warm air under fan pressure into everj-room by the force of a fan run by electricity, and will put fresh air, either warm or cool or mixed to any desired degree Into the rooms at 8 feet above the floor, and take the air out at the baseboard, thu3 making a continuous change of atmosphere all the time. The temperature can be regulated in each room at the will of the teacher. While the cost of Installing the plant will exceed by several hundred dollars the available surplus of the district for the year, it is a necessity, and must be done. The matter of putting in a Are escape in the building was also considered. Investigations made by architect French regarding the spiral escape were reported, but the expense of such an apparatus was so high that the board could not see Its way clear to adopt It.

Some other plan that will be serviceable will be Installed, however. and the building be made so that in warming, ventilation and safety for the children, there will be no chance for complaint in the future.
