The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, CHARLES KUCHEL, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY... JUNE 17, 1897. The calling of a school bond election, to vote bonds for the erection of a three-room addition to the city school building and a one-room addition to the West End school, is in the nature of an official recognition of the growth of our school district, no less than an evidence of the present cramped condition of our school facilities. No section in Southern California is growing more rapidly than Anaheim and the country west of us, and although it has been a matter of repeated comment that our schools have been overcrowded for some years past, we have had no official recognition of this fact until the School Trustees, moved to the action by the growing demands of the children upon the school facilities of the district, have been compelled at last to provide additional room for them; and the people will vote upon the proposition of issuing bonds to provide additional school facilities on July 10th next. That our school district and the rapidly filling up country to the west of us are settling up at a more rapid rate than any other section of the county, a brief glance at the school census returns will clearly demonstrate. The increase of school children in the county during the year was 186. Of this number Anaheim shows the comfortable increase of 36, while Cypress district, embracing the Alamitos beet territory, has the astonishing increase of 82, bringing the increase of both districts up to 118, more than three-fourths of the entire increase of the county. Last year Cypress district had 36 school children; this year it has 118, an increase of upwards of 300 per cent. While some of the districts in the southern end of the county show a decreased census population, all the districts in this Supervisor district show a healthy growth. It is the duty of the people of an enlightened community to provide proper school facilities for this growing army of youngsters. Much dissatisfaction has existed in town over the fact that pupils in the primary grades have been able to attend school only half the time the Modjeska entertainmeh in that town to-morrow evening, the Standard is moved to the expression of the following very sensible remarks: "As a great deal of conjecture has been afforded to the object of Modjeska in giving her grand theatrical performance here on the 18th inst., we will just say for the public that it is to give the people a first-class entertainment for their pleasure and amusement, regardless of what will be done with the proceeds. It is a business proposition, the same as any other theater would present and the troupe will try to earn the cost of admission and give value received. The subjects of church, state, municipal, or charity do not enter into it. A fine display of home and native talent will be given and the peerless Modjeska will see that the people will not be disappointed." REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS For The Week Ending June 14, 1897.

When the investigation is ended, the discharge and probably the criminal prosecution of several minor officials is expected. THE QEEN'S JUBILEE London Streets Taking on the Appearance of an Amphitheater in Their Holiday Garb. NEW YORK, June 14.-A dispatch from London says six miles of London streets resemble the amphitheater on a circus. From Buckingham Palace uu Constitution Hill to Piccadilly, down Piccadilly to St. James street, then by way of Pall Mall, the Strand and Fleet street to St. Paul's Cathedral and after that across the Thames by way of Cheapside, King William street and London Bridge back to the palace around through Borough High Street Boreugn road, Westminister Bridge Parliament street Whitehall and the Pall Mall, the shops hotels residence churches parks and public buildings are hidden from view by miles and miles of pine board seats. Not one foot of available space along the entire route of the jubilee procession is left unoccupied. The sloping roofs of the churches,the tops of low houses,the gaps between the building every conceivable place where they is a possibility of seating a human being has its row of seats. Every carpenter in London is working along the route of the procession and the permanent building trade is a standstill, while the artisans of the hammer and saw are getting up precedent wages of $5 and $6 a day. Some of the stands which are whole or partly finished have been temporarily decorated by owners,s so as to show they will look on jubilee days Some of them are most attractive sightings and if the other owners show this decorative capacity this part of London will soon look like a fairy town.Re flowers are to be used in decoration profusely.At one or two stands to box office has been opened,gaily decorated and lighted with electricity night.In the windows.as usual.is model of the particular stand as it will appear on jubilee day. At present the sale of seats is very slack.People are waiting for their evitable slump in prices.IIf stand-owners get only a couple of guinea sa sea profits will not be large.As looks now there will be plenty of seafire sale jubilee day at a guinea,f The treaty for the annexation of the Hawaiian islands to the United States is said by Washington advises to be complete, and will, unless present plans are changed, be sent to the Senate by President McKinley some time this week. One point of importance in which the treaty differs from the convention negotiated by Secretary Foster in President Harrison's administration is the omission of any provision for ex-Queen Liliuokalani and Princess Kafulani. In the original treaty it was provided that the government of the United States should pay the ex-Queen $20,000 cash and the same amount of money as a pension each year during the remainder of her natural life, provided that she in good faith submitted to the government of the United States and the local government of the islands. Princess Kafulani, being next in the line of royal blood, was to receive a cash payment of $150,000, but no pension, under a similar proviso as in the case of the ex-Queen. It is to be hoped the Supreme Court will reach some decision on the new road law at an early day, as at present the matter is in great uncertainty and confusion. In some counties the supervisors have decided to ignore the new act entirely and go on under the old law, until the Supreme Court rules on the matter. In other counties all road work has been suspended. In Santa Clara the Auditor and Treasurer decided that they could not legally audit or pay claims for road work performed during the month of June, and the Supervisors are not likely to authorize an expenditure for which they may become personally liable. In Alameda county the Treasurer has announced that he will pay no claims for road work until the tax authorized by the new law has been collected and in the treasury. This will not be before next November. It is understood he will not register any warrant that may be drawn for road work before that time. In Santa Clara county the county roads have been largely cared for by sprinkling and the outlook there is alarming. It is the duty of the people of an enlightened community to provide proper school facilities for this growing army of youngsters. Much dissatisfaction has existed in town over the fact that pupils in the primary grades have been able to attend school only half the time during the past and several of the preceding terms. The minds of children at this stage of their instruction are in the most receptive stage, and they should by all means be permitted to attend school during the entire day. Let us increase the schoolroom, and vote the bonds. It is a duty we owe ourselves, our teachers and the school children.

Train Dynamited HAVANA, via Key West, Fla., June 11.-The passenger train which leaves Havana for Matanzas daily at 6 a.m. was dynamited about twelve miles from the city by a party of insurgents. According to the official accounts the object was plunder of $6000 which was in the express car. The officials had ordered the passenger train to go ahead and a pilot engine to follow. At a bend in the road a terrific explosion wrecked the engine, which fell into a pit twenty-nine feet below, dragging three third-class cars after it. At the same moment another explosion wrecked the pilot engine, which came to-the-rescue,and fell into the pit also. Both engineers, one fireman, one conductor and several soldiers were killed and three passengers were severely injured, while thirty-two suffered more or less serious bruises. Two trains were dynamited with electric machines and bombs placed on a culvert at the curve. The body of an insurgent was found lying near the wire communication with the bombs. The military escort of the train quickly recovered, and opened fire upon the insurgents, who vanished toward the cars,and drove them off. Captain-General Weyler is personally inquiry into the charges which have resulted from the explosion of many of the political leaders,and is extending to a majority what his press censor calls "a generous pardon." A.H.Patter,with E.C.Atkins&Co.,Indianapolis,Ind.,writes: "I have never before given a testimonial in my acres or a circle,turmouring by cross pattee (whereof Mrese cross is a decoration variant)the fleur-de-lis.The general effect this crown is excellently shown in English coinage.in which it is concealed by a veilwhich was worn in earlier years of the reign when this form of circlet was in office use;and,iindeed,these seem to be some doubt as to whether particular form of coronet depicted on the present coin issues has been adopted by the Queen in accuse at all.I was this diadem,a another of a like shape that precede itwhich were used when her Majesty opened or prologued Parliamentalso on such occasions as the marshalofthe Princess Royal. On every occasion on which Queen visited The House Of LordState crown was taken out ofthe galia room in The Tower Of Londonwas borne before her on a cushionExcept for this purposethe crown or pay claims for road work performed during the month of June, and the Supervisors are not likely to authorize an expenditure for which they may become personally liable. In Alameda county the Treasurer has announced that he will pay no claims for road work until the tax authorized by the new law has been collected and in the treasury. This will not be before next November. It is understood he will not register any warrant that may be drawn for road work before that time. In Santa Clara county the county roads have been largely cared for by sprinkling and the outlook there is alarming. The roads are threatened with an almost irreparable injury. The law went into effect too late for the election of the Trustees, and there is no authority to work on the public highways. It is not possible that appointments can be made so as to become practicable before the first of July, and even if they were now made there is no money available to pay for any work done by the Trustees. The imminent danger that threatens is that no road sprinkling can be done for at least thirty days, and, if the law is held valid, that no work can be done until the taxes come in in November. Thirty days without sprinkling would utterly destroy the best road in the county and would cause a disaster from which it would require a long time and a large expenditure of money to enable the county to recover. If, as seems probable, there should be added the remaining summer months, with the heavy and frequent travel incident to the fruit harvest, the disaster would become irremediable. It will be particularly disastrous to Santa Clara country on account of the character of her products, no less than because of the destruction of the highways. The transportation of fruit requires smooth roads, free from dust. The sound and clean condition in which it has hitherto reached its destination will be a thing of the past. No combination of springs can obviate the bruising caused by rough roads and no covering can exclude the dust that is sure to accumulate. The loss that will occur to the fruit growers will be a great burden at this particular time.

Commencing June 12th, and continuing until the end of August, the Santa Fe will sell round trip tickets from Anaheim to Redondo Beach.

Convenient and comfortable train service. DEAD MEN'S SALARIES. The Santa Fe Road Systematically Fleeced by its Employees. KANSAS CITY (Mo.), June 15.—The officials of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railway company have suspected for some time past that fictitious names and the names of dead men have been carried on the payrolls. It is rumored that the company has been robbed of thousands of dollars, and one high official has been discharged for the offense and others will follow him. The investigation is being conducted in secrecy, and the officials of the Santa Fe refuse to discuss it. The investigation is now in progress in the general offices of the company at Topeka. It was brought about by the report of the secret service department On every occasion on which Queen visited the House of Lords State crown was taken out of the gallia room in the Tower of London was borne before her on a cushion. Except for this purpose the crown only left the tower on two occasions during the reign—once for reverence (some part of the setting having come loosened) and once in order to modify the ermine. The crown never been actually worn by the Queen at any function whatever since then of coronation sixty years ago and that is nothing in the episodes of the four coining commemoration that will quire its removal from the tower. State crown was made for the Queen by Messrs. Rundell & Bridge (the decessors of Garrards), the presidents of the appointment, and construction is familiar history; may, however, be interesting at juncture to say that the estimated value at that time of its stones—comprising 2783 diamonds, 277 pearls, 16 sapphire 11 emeralds and 4 rubles—was £760, apart from the priceless mine which belonged to Edward B Prince and the large sapphire purse by George IV. In the opinion competent experts the stones still have an intrinsic worth of a like sum, if no account be taken of the value would attach to their illustrious associations.

Notable Events of the National Holiday—Three Presidents Died on that Day. Not alone as the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence is the Fourth of July entitled to the attention of patriotic citizens. Other events of national importance are indisolubly connected with the day, so that, partly by intent and partly by pure accident, the Fourth of July, aside from its prestige as the nation's birthday, has become one of the most distinguished days in the chronology of our country. The first tariff bill that the United States ever had was signed by President George Washington on the Fourth of July, 1789. This measure, which was the first important legislation of the congress of the new nation, was regarded as eminently patriotic, and that consideration had much to do with the selection of the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence as the day for its official promulgation. It was an anxious Fourth of July that dawned upon the country in 1861. Civil war had become a dread reality. Confederate troops had been assembling for weeks across the Potomac in Virginia. Apprehensions for the safety of Washington were rife and Federal troops were throwing up fortifications and pushing into the field. Almost daily reports were coming in of skirmishes and light engagements between the opposing forces. In this crisis the Fourth was celebrated with renewed fervor. Congress met in special session on that day, the only time in the history of the country that the day has been chosen for such a purpose. There was a dramatic force in the arrangement that was not without its effect in stimulating patriotism in the then tense condition of the public mind. At once President Lincoln sent in his message calling for 400,000 men and $400,000,000 and urging prompt measures for the prosecution of the war. The month of July, 1863, opened with much of hope and anxiety throughout the country. All eyes north and south were turned toward Gettysburg and Vicksburg, and there was little thought anywhere save for the opposing armies that faced each other. For several weeks the invasion of Pennsylvania by the Confederate army of the Potomac had been talked of. The state militia of Pennsylvania had been called out; President Lincoln had summoned troops from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland and West Virginia to repel the invasion. The Confederates had crossed the Potomac and several small engagements had already occurred. On the 1st of July the great forces—the Republican administration. He next played a more or less successful engagement as a prominent leader of the A.P.A., and by means of that organization was going to "save the country" and incidentally, we presume, get something for Mr. Sheldon. Whether he has become convinced that A.P.A. is not all his fancy painted it deponent saith not. SHO! From the Orange Post. In the minutes of the Anaheim Union Water Company complaint is made that the superintendent of the S.A.V.I.Co is intercepting from 100 to 200 inches of seepage water by a second dam below the regular one. If that were true, then the regular dam is too porous and should be lined with clay. But those who ought to know, say the second dam intercepts not more than fifteen inches and that this water has the name of its owner (Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company) blown in the glass. Drs. Shores Coming to Anaheim. As will be seen elsewhere in our advertising columns, Drs. Shores, the greatest catarrh and chronic disease specialists in Southern California, will make monthly visits to Anaheim. Drs. Shores have been compelled to make these visits by reason of the urgent requests of their many patients in this vicinity, and also by requests from many of our citizens and their families who are anxious to consult with these eminent specialists, who cure their patients for a very low fee.

DOCTORS SHORES The month of July, 1863, opened with much of hope and anxiety throughout the country. All eyes north and south were turned toward Gettysburg and Vicksburg, and there was little thought anywhere save for the opposing armies that faced each other. For several weeks the invasion of Pennsylvania by the Confederate army of the Potomac had been talked of. The state militia of Pennsylvania had been called out; President Lincoln had summoned troops from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland and West Virginia to repel the invasion. The Confederates had crossed the Potomac and several small engagements had already occurred. On the 1st of July the great forces—the flower of the Confederate and the Union armies—met in what was to be one of the greatest battles of modern warfare. The world knows the sanguinary glory of Seminary Ridge, Rock Creek, Cemetery Ridge, Little Round Top and Oak Ridge, and the great deeds of Meade, Reynolds, Hancock, Sickles, Howard, Sedgwick, Lee, Longstreet, Hill, Early and others. For three days the country stood agast and trembling, but when the Fourth dawned Lee was in full retreat back across the Potomac. Nor does Gettysburg stand alone in making July 4, 1863, eminent. Vicksburg comes in for a share in the distinction. For many long weary months Grant by land and Porter by water had been besieging the strong city on the banks of the Mississippi. From the latter part of May the investment was complete. The doomed city was bombarded without intermission day and night, and it is estimated that 10,000 shells were thrown into its streets every day. Capitulation was only a question of days or at the most of weeks, and on the Forth the worn out army of brave defenders surrendered, and the triumph of the Union forces was complete. General Halleck in speaking of the tactics that secured this victory, declared that "no more brilliant exploit can be found in military history." Together, Vicksburg and Gettysburg have made the Fourth of July one of the most notable days in military annals of this country. Three ex-presidents of the United States have died on the Fourth of July. Two were signers of the great document that is commemorated on that day and both died on its semi-annual anniversary. Thomas Jefferson, who drafted the Declaration of Independence, died at Monticello, Va., in 1826, at the age of 83. He had lived to see the republic firmly established among the nations of the world and himself abundantly honored by his countrymen. On the same day in Quincy, Mass., John Adams, who had been Jefferson's associate in stormy days of the republic passed away at the age of 91. One of the last acts of his life was to send from his sick bed to the Fourth of July celebration of the town of Quincy this toast: "I give you independence forever." His last words were, "Jefferson still lives," but Jefferson had already by a few hours preceded Adams to the land of the hereafter. Five years later, in 1831, James Monroe died in New York city on the Fourth of July. He was buried in the marble cemetery on Second street, east of the Bowery, but in 1858 his remains were removed to his native State, Virginia. Chief Justice Marshall, who did more perhaps than any other person of his time to give permanence and explanation and judicial determination to the constitution, Jay on his deathbed on July 4, 1835. He had served as Chief Justice for 35 years. Those about him thought he would expire on that day, but he lingered until July 6. President Zachary Taylor was smitten with mortal disease on July 4, 1850. He attended the cornerstone ceremonies of Drs.
