The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. Henry Kuchel, Charles Kuchel, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY...MARCH 5, 1891. CLAUS SPRECKELS and his son, J. D. Spreckels, were of the party of washed-out travelers who passed through Anaheim in carriages one day last week, en route from Santa Ana to Los Angeles. Mr. Spreckels was interviewed in Los Angeles, and stated that he had not yet determined upon a location for his projected Southern California sugar-beet factory. During their drive from Santa Ana, however, they had seen a great deal more of the country than could have been seen from the cars, and had been particularly struck by the peculiar adaptability of the soil to best raising in the vicinity of Anaheim. There is no question about it. We can produce better beets than any section of California. And if the Spreckels desire to erect a sugar factory in Southern California they can find no more available location than right here at Anaheim. Meanwhile let us bank on the Chino sugar factory and the cross-country railroad to it. Then, if Spreckels should desire to put up his factory here, the road will not deter from so doing. He will be met half way by our people and extended every advantage. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Let us build the Chino railroad. After that we may be on the lookout for other enterprises to thrill trade and commerce here. YUMA, Arizona, was washed away by the floods of last week. A dispatch of Sunday night says that over 250 houses are in ruins from the flood, and 1,400 people are homeless. Not a single business house remains standing, and it is feared many lives have been lost in the Gila valley. The river above Yuma is seven miles wide, and below the town in places the water covers the country in one grand lake fifty miles across. The town has provisions sufficient for eight days more, and the Southern Pacific Hotel is feeding one thousand people daily. Reports from Jakuno, fifteen miles above Yuma, are to the effect that the flood drove the people into the tree tops, and many becoming exhausted from cold and hunger, dropped into the water and were drowned. boodle at Sacramento, and rumors are rife that the price of the office is about $200,000. "THE OCTOROON." THE LINDEN DRAMATIC COMPANY GIVES A HIGHLY CREDITABLE ENTERTAINMENT. The Linden Dramatic Club gave a very creditable rendition of Dion Boucicault's emotional drama, "The Octoroon," at the Opera-house on Tuesday evening. A large and appreciative audience was present, and the amateur artists were frequently greeted with applause. The play was cleverly interpreted, and put on the stage in a manner to reflect credit upon many a professional company. In the character of the "Slave Trader" William Dunlap was up to his usual standard of excellence. As a heavy tragedian he is a star, with whom the club could not possibly do without. Miss Clara Baker as "Mrs. Peyton" rendered the character true to nature, and proved that she is possessed of great dramatic ability. Harry Cummings is the beau ideal of all lovers. He can make love better than we can ourselves. In the character of "Geo. Peyton" he was entirely at home, and delivered his lines well. Miss Grace Kline as the "Octoroon Girl" acted the difficult part with dramatic precision, as did also Miss Ina Hester as "Dora Sunnyside." Mr. Gregory as "Salem Scudder" Ralph Hunter as "'Squire Sunnyside,' Ed Pellegrin as "Captain Ratz," Jack Landell as the Indian, and the rest of the company acquitted themselves very creditably. The performance was altogether the best we have had from our clever amateurs, and we look for great things from them in future. The cast was as follows: Jacob McClosky, a slave trader.... W. L. Dunlap Mrs. Peyton, of Terrebonne..... Miss Oliva Baker Geo. Peyton, her nephew..... Harry Cummings Squird Simmyside..... Ralph Hunter Dore Simmyside his daughter..... Miss Susan Zoe, the Octoroon Girl..... Miss Grace Kilon Wahnootee, an Indian..... Joo Landell Salem Scudder, a Yankee..... W. H. Gregory Old Peto, (a faithful slave)..... G. E. Claytor Captain Rattis (steamer Magnolia) Ed. J. Pellegrin Col. Polintdexter..... Godfrey Stock Judge Lafonche..... G. A. Gray Solon, (a servant)..... F. Littlefield Paul} Dido} Plantation Children, Etc. The company will produce "Emeralda" and "Octoroon" at Santa Ana two evenings next week. The date has not yet been fixed. Our friends across the river have a dramatic treat in store for them. Petrified Hombro. The "petrified man" was here on exhibition for a couple of days last week, but created little excitement. The petrification is claimed to be that of a man killed by Joa. 235 69 of deeds), all between Amerige, Parkment Company and subject to outstanding James A.

WISE CITY THEY MEET IN SE CONSIDER THE ING CITY BOND The Board of City session yesterday after the first of a series of the issuance of bonds. The ordinance intrigue meeting is one setting the board to call an of the bonds referred to enough to purchase engine. The amount of bond yet been determined about $20,000. With grade and improve the city water works and purchase a fire e The ordinance wi Wednesday's meeting be published in our n The adverse report of the House Coinage Committee on the Senate Free Composition of Silver Bill declares that under the present law $54,000,000 are being each year added to the volume of the country's currency in the form of Treasury notes issued for silver bullion purchased. This process, if continued for ten years at the same rate, would gradually add to the volume of the currency $360,000,000 above the amount of bank notes should they be all retired. Attention is called to the Secretary of the Treasury's estimate of the surplus silver in the whole world, and the report concludes that under the present law there is provision for using the world's surplus, which is all that unlimited coinage could accomplish. The Treasury notes issued under the present law are legal tender, the highest function that could be given silver under free coinage, so that there is now provision made for the use of all the silver that would be brought to the mints under a free coinage law. The money issued has all the legal qualities and purchasing power of coined money, and in addition is confined practically to the American product. From the declarations of the majority of the committee it looks as though they believe the benefits of bimetalism can be gradually attained without incurring the danger of financial fluctuations incident to a sudden change. EMPEROR WILLIAM was doubtful over the strength of the friendship between Prussia and France. He rent his mother to Paris in order that his doubts might be removed. She has been treated courteously by the officials of that republic, but the leading newspapers advised her to remain in the country for a very limited time. The press voiced the sentiments of the people for the standing, and it is feared many lives have been lost in the Gila valley. The river above Yuma is seven miles wide, and below the town in places the water covers the country in one grand lake fifty miles across. The town has provisions sufficient for eight days more, and the Southern Pacific Hotel is feeding one thousand people daily. Reports from Jakuno, fifteen miles above Yuma, are to the effect that the flood drove the people into the tree tops, and many becoming exhausted from cold and hunger, dropped into the water and were drowned. All along the valley for 200 miles everything is desolate. Houses and barns, stock and fences have been carried away by the flood, leaving the country bare as a desert. Eighty miles south of Yuma, where 5,000 Coopah Indians live, the country is flooded for eighty miles square, and as there are no bills for refuge, it is reported that over one hundred of them have been drowned. The valley of the Colorado is one vast sea of water. The loss in Yuma county foots up over $2,000,-000. Old Yuma will probably never be rebuilt. The town will go higher up on the hills. The company will produce "Emoralda" and "Octoroon" at Santa Ana two evenings next week. The date has not yet been fixed. Our friends across the river have a dramatic treat in store for them. Petrified Hombre. The "petrified man" was here on exhibition for a couple of days last week, but created little excitement. The petrification is claimed to be that of a man killed by Joaquin Murietta, the Mexican bandit, some thirty-two years ago, although considerable adverse criticism as to its genuineness has been aroused. The corpse is that of a pretty large sized hombre, about 6 foot 4, 48-inch bust measure, and, if ever in life, was apparently of the age of some 55 or 60 years. Its weight is 514 pounds. In the abdomen there is evidence of a wicked knife thrust, and at the base of the skull a small fissure suggests the possibility of a bullet wound. The face is well preserved—perhaps too well preserved to have been in the ground for thirty-two years—and a smile seems to hover about the countenance. The hands lie transversely across the breast and abdomen, and the remains seem to be as contented as possible under all the circumstances. The exhibition is worth the price of admission, even if the "remains" were carved by a sculptor. After being on exhibition for a couple of days, the "man" was coffined up, placed in a wagon and driven to Los Angeles. Teachers' Institute. The Orange County Teachers' Institute meets at Santa Ana on Monday, March 16th, and continues in session four days. The following are the appointments and committees: Appointments—Secretary; Edwin Clark; Assistant Secretary; Laura S. Jones; Vice-President; M. Manley; G. W. Weeks; B. R. Grogan; J. Ziellan. Committees—Music; W. A. Packard; Miss Helen Bancroft; T. N. Wells; Miss Hattie L. Parker; B. T. Barnes; W. R. Carpenter; Yves Emma McClain; Mrs. L. Mason. Insolutions—R. R. Grogan; G. W. Weeks; Miss Hilly Reeves; F. C. Norton; Mrs Helen Head; W. Young; Miss Gertrude Cennell; Miss Salina Burton. Introduction—Miss Rose A. Davis; Nadine Crump; J.P.Yoder; Miss Minnie Perley; Miss Katie L.Wing; Mrs.Nettle E.Sweeten; J.N.Kernis; Miss Elle McFadden; Mrs.M.H.Wift. The programme includes an address on "Arithmetic" by Prof Grogan, and one on "Geography" by Miss Vore of the Anaisheim schools. Edwin Clark of the Fullerton school will read an essay on "Penmanship." The Institute was to have been held at San Diego, and the first intimation teachers of this city have had of the change to Santa Ana was received by them yesterday. Some of them are somewhat surprised to find their names down upon the programme of exercises, and regard the action as somewhat arbitrary, claiming they have not sufficient time in which to prepare themselves. However, we look for a harmonious session, productive of great good to all the teachers of the county. Enameded Photographs. Lawrence & Son of Los Angeles are now in Anaheim where they are making the finest photographs in this town. This is an opportunity for people of Anaheim have never before getting the finest work done at home. They send all the negatives to their gallery in Los Angeles to have them finished. They have the exclusive right to make new Enameded Photographs which is the finest picture ever made. They are making their pictures at greatly reduced prices, so that the poor as well EMPEROR WILLIAM was doubtful over the strength of the friendship between Prussia and France. He sent his mother to Paris in order that his doubts might be removed. She has been treated courteously by the officials of that republic, but the leading newspapers advised her to remain in the country for a very limited time. The press voiced the sentiments of the people, for the artists who were invited to exhibit their paintings at Berlin have refused the invitation on account of the embarrassing situation caused by the presence of the ex-Empress Frederick in France. The Germans consider their country has been insulted by France, and their newspapers are clamoring for war. The newspapers of France are responding in a belligerent tone. All Europe is awake to the seriousness of the trouble. THE POMONA and San Jacinto County bills were finally laid to rest in the Senate on Tuesday, the former by a vote of 20 to 9, and the latter by the refusal of the Senators to call it up from the calendar and place it on the special file. It is so far down on the calendar that it will be impossible to reach it during the session. SENATOR HEARST died at his home in New York on Sunday. He was the proprietor of the San Francisco Examiner, and was endeared to all who knew him by many rare qualities of mind and heart. The Legislature will be called on to elect his successor. The product of the best-sugar factory at Watsonville during 1890 was 2,128 tons, which netted $102 per ton. The profits for the year amounted to $40,000, which will be expanded for improvements. The leading candidates for the Senatorship made vacant by Hearst's death are Fulton, Easte, De Young and Bonebrake. The two first named are backed by the Stanford interest, and either one of them will probably be chosen. There is much talk of Enameled Photographs. Lawrence & Son of Los Angeles are now in Auxheim where they are making the finest photographs ever made in the town. This is an opportunity the people of Anaheim have never before, getting the finest work done at home. They send all the negatives to their gallery in Los Angeles to have them finished. They have the exclusive right to make the new Enameled Photograph which is the finest picture ever made. They are making their pictures at greatly reduced prices, so that the poor as well as the rich can get them. They are also prepared to make beautiful views of houses or scenery. Persons wishing work done should leave their orders at once. Situation Wanted. A German farmer wishes to work on fruit farm.
