Brlggs. Mr. A. F. Keyes was elected recording steward and Mr.

S. F. Wallace district steward. There was a discussion as to whether the first church should take the credit for the building of the second church or whether the latter should submit a separate report. The matter was left to be settled at a conference of the boards of trustees of the two churches.

Rev. J. W. Huston of East Liverpool, a city of 18,000 inhabitants, will likely take Rev. Crawford's place here.

Bishop Newman wrote asking how Pasadena would like Rev. Huston and the congregation here Investigated and found that the gentleman Was a fit man for the place. This evening the fourth quarterly conference of the Lincoln avenue M. E. church Was held ln the church and Rev.

Bruce was Chosen to take charge of the congregation. Rev. Bruce has been here only temporarily. Bey. Bovard, presiding elder, was present will take this request before the conference of all the churches which Is held on September 21st and one week following.

Then Rev. Bruce will doubtless receive his appointment here to take effect Immediately after the conference. The question of Incorporating this church as the Second M. E. church, separate entirely from the First M.

E. church, was discussed but no steps were taken. The change will probably be made soon so lhat reports can be made and kept separately, avoiding confusion. The following trustees were elected. being with but few exceptions the old board: C.

BLESSED SHOWERS VALUE OF BAINS FOB SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Battling With the Scale Commences New Democratic Notes SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. shortage of water ln this section Is beginning to be a thing of tbe past, for while there Is as yetfcno rainfall In the valley, the desert and mountain range have been blessed with a bountiful too muoh at one time to suit the railroad, for It has suffered on desert and ln the pass quite severely. The rains commenced Saturday night and for twenty-four hours oame down, at times assuming the appearance of a cloudburst.

At Bear valley the reservoir had been depleted of nearly Its entire supply of water; the upper lake has been filled nearly to the brim. All the mountain streams have revived and the artesian underground lake has commenced to fill, so much so that wells already, within forty-eight hours of the rain, forty miles away, begn to flow more freely. According to Indian signs, this early downpour presages a wet winter, a consummation most devoutly to be wished. Horticultural Notes A communication has been received by Horticultural Commissioner S. A.

Pease from Antonio Berlese, R. Scoula Superiore dl Agrlcultura, Porticl, Italy, asking for samples of the Icerya Purchasl or cottony cushion scale for study and Investigation. He asks for from thirty to fifty twigs covered with the scale to be fumigated, killing the scale, and sent by mall. The order will be filled, ln part at least, as this scale Is not as plentiful as formerly. According to the horticultural almanac, the scale on the orange tree Is ripe about the first of September, and tomorrow Work will be commenced gathering lm the harvest.

The plan Is very large tent is thrown over the tree, a vessel containing the chemicals Is shoved under tent and In a short time the fumes have killed every particle of animal life there la within the tent. Birds and bugs go with the scale if caught there. The commission has 160 tents of thirty to each crew, the whole under the supervision of J. S. Fink of Ontario, who has appointed as his foremen A.

L. Dean, Caspar Cooper, Frank Haasls, H. R. H. Mytton and John Mitchell, each to have charge of a set of tents and a fumigating crew.

Each foreman will have three men men under him, except the crew that handles the large sheet tents for the extra large trees, which will have an extra man. Work will be commenced Thursday, the commission having over 1000 acres booked for fumigation already, San Bernardino Briefs There is as much chin music between the sprinters Newlln and Cutter over a little fifty yard dash as If they were heavyweight prizefighters. Evidently one Is afraid and the other daren't, but both have finally put up a small purse with a rope attached to It, and the world holds Its breath and looks on ln wonder. The inventory of the dry gbods stock of the Posener store, is complete, showing about 120,000 on hand, and Attorney S. P.

Capurro, an employe ot the Santa Isabel ranch, In this county, was brought to the hospital ln this city last night ln a terribly bruised and mangled condition, the result of an explosion of twelve sticks of dynamite.

Friday night Capurro saw a wild cat enter one of the sheds on ranch and arming himself with a shotgun he took deliberate aim at the animal as It crouched In one of the corners of the building. The charge In the gun exploded as did simultaneously twelve sticks of dynamite which were lying In the shed.

What followed can belter be Imagined than described, but when the smoke cleared away Capurro stood alone wtth wreck and disaster everywhere around him. The gun was blown from his grasp and the walls of the stout adobe building were leveled to the ground, a portion of the roof falling on the Mexican's head, while the debris burled his legs up to the Knees. Fragments of wood and hard clods of adobe struck Capurro on almost every Inch of his body and a sharp splinter of wood struck the unfortunate in the right eye shattering the eyeball.
