'When the convention the reports of the various committees were received. The Credential Committee seated all delegates. The expected contest from Whittier where 8 men were tied and only 7 delegates allowed did not materialize, the matter being settled amicably among the members of the delegation, each side voting votes. The committee on resolutions submitted the following resolution which was carried with applause: Resolved: That the Republicans of the 68th Assembly District, of the State, of California, faithful to the often repeated declaration of the destruction of the "Spoils System" of distribution and conducting public office, a system of Democratic origin, expect and demand of their delegates to all republican conventions frank and honest action in accordance with those Republican declarations, in such endorsement of men conducting office, such renomjnation of incumbent of offices and such selection of candi- didates for office, as will not give the brand of insincerity and falsehood to all our professions in that regard.

Jeffrey, Azusa; J. P. Armstrong, Whittier. Capt. Brady took the floor and made an appeal for another representative on the ticket from Pomona, suggesting that a man from or Claremont withdraw in favor of James Bennett, of Pomona, the Captain claiming that these places had more than they were entitled to.

Gen. S. P. Jennison took the floor in support of the ticket as named by Mr. Chesebro and after intimating that their side was in control of the convention pioduced considerable merriment by informing Capt.

Brady that any proposition from him to divide the pot ought to have been made before the show down. The merriment was increased when the gentleman from Pomona stated that he was un- fatuilar with the terms used and asked for an explanation. The matter finally went to ballot and the first 11 gentlemen were elected, their election being made unanimous. The convention immediately adjourned. A SAD BEREAVEMENT, The entire community has this week been inexpressively shocked by the fatal termination to the brief illness of Ethel King "Meachtlen, the beloved girl-bride of Julius J.

Meachtlen, which occurred Wednesday evening at her home, east of the city. The deceased was taken ill on Tuesday, August 5. On the following Tuesday an operation was performed for appendicitis which at the time was hoped would prove successful. On Wednesday she suffered three sinking spells passing away at 9:35 p. m.

of that day. Although so young her life will long be remembered by her companions and friends for its spotless purity and unselfishness. She was one indeed that delighted in good works and despised the very semblance of insincerity and falsehood. Words can not express the sorrow and sense of. loss which must be husband, mother and brothers, yet there should be comfort in the thought that the Hand which saw fit to remove this bright and beautiful girl from this world "doeth all things well," far all as the poet thus beautifully expresses it There is no death! What- seems so transition; This life of mortal breath Is but a suburb of this life elysian, Whose portals we call death.

The luneral services were cuncluc'ccd at the residence on Friday morning by the Rev. C. L. Libby, of Redlands, formerly pastor of the M. E.

Church of this place, of Which the deceased was a member. The pill-bearers were Mamie Osborn, of Whittier, Grace Enyeart, Florence Archer, Ada Archer, Susie Gray, Pearl McCurrian, three of whom were class-mates of the in the Covina High.School. Among many- beautiful tributes sent was a beautiful set piece white carnations from the members of the of the Epworth League. In death the features of the beautiful girl were calm and peaceful and as she laid in her casket attired in her white graduating dress those that filed past to take a last farewell could hardly realize that Ethel's spirit had gone unto the One who gave it. The deceased was a native of Oregon, being born at Alder, Union Nov.

20th, 1882. In 1885 she with her parents to Covina, travelling all the way by team. She received her education in the Covina Public Schools graduating from the High School in June, 1901. On February of this year she was united in marriage to Julius J. Meachtlen, son of Jacob Meachtlen of this place.

She was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. King.

The grief stricken mother and brother have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad hour of bereavement. Resolutions of Respect. At a meeting of a committee from the Epworth League, of which Mrs. Ethel King Meachtlen was a member, held on Friday evening, the following resolutions were adopted; Whereas: God in his inscrutable wisdom has seen fit to remove from our midst one of our number, Ethel King Meachtlen, therefore be it Resolved: That we have lost a true friend and Christian worker, whose life and actions were ever an inspiration to her associates; and Resolved: That we cherish the memory of those days which were rendered brighter by her associations with us; and be it further Resolved: That we extend to her sorrowing husband and bereaved mother and brothers our heartfelt sympathy, and may He, who doeth all things well comfort and sustain them in their great Signed on behalf of the Epworth League.
