The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, CHARLES KUCHEL, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY... SEPTEMBER 23, 1897 PAY UP! PAY UP! We have a large number of delinquent subscribers on our books, and the time of year has arrived when these overdue accounts ought to be settled. We shall call upon these delinquents as soon as possible, but in the meantime we suggest that they kindly call at this office and pay up. Many have promised they would pay up when they received their harvest money. It is time our old friends were remembering their promises. Pay up! We need the money. We understand that Mr. Sheppard of Los Angeles, who has purchased the bulk of the walnut crop hereabout in times past, and who was expected to buy this year, has instructed his local agent not to purchase soft shells (which are the bulk of the crop), he having purchased the association's nuts at Fullerton and Rivera. This is construed by the growers as a deliberate attempt on Mr. Sheppard's part to bear the market. Several walnut growers have called on us and stated they have crops of fine walnuts to sell, at market rates. We advise outside purchasers to come to Anaheim and interview those of our growers who are not in the association. They will find they have a plenty of A No. 1 soft shell walnuts to sell, at market rates. Let there be no unfair treatment to the outside grower. Now that the City Trustees have accepted the new water works improvements and drawn their final warrant in payment of the same, it will be useful to turn their attention to the demoralized condition of the electric light improvements now being installed. A month ago, at a meeting of the board, the contractor stated that a new engine had been ordered to replace the engine objected to by the city, but as DEATH OF DR. LEE. He succumbs to inflammatory rheumatism, which assailed the heart, at 3 o'clock on Sunday morning. Death came suddenly, although it was not entirely unexpected, he having predicted earlier in the evening that he could not survive the night. Only the watchers by his badside (George A. Hunter and Fred Crist), were present at the end: the nurse, Miss M. C. Hottinger, who lately came from San Jose to attend Miss Lee, having retired at midnight, she having been up much of the night before. The nurse was immediately called, and the news was at once broken to Mrs. Lee, who was prostrated at the deplorable turn of affairs. It was not until after her late breakfast that the news was broken to Miss Bertha Lee, the doctor's daughter, who is seriously ill of lung trouble. To her also the news came as a great calamity, and she was prostrated and plunged in sorrow. Dr. Lee had gone to Los Angeles on the afternoon of Thursday, Sept. 9th, to be operated upon for the removal of a nerve in the face that had given him great pain. He went to Dr. Wills, who had performed a similar operation upon him here last autumn, and requested of him that he perform the operation again. Dr. Wills saw that in the Doctor's nervous condition it would be unwise to attempt the operation, and it was not until the following Sunday morning that, Dr. Lee insisting upon it, the operation was performed. An incision was made along the right eyebrow, down along the nose, and outward under the cheek bone. The flesh was laid back and the nerve removed. This was the third major operation of the kind undergone by the Doctor, during the last three years, although he had undergone numerous minor operations for the same diseased nerve in times past. Dr. Lee contracted articular rheumatism during the subsequent nights, as he was frequently out of his bed, delirious with pain, and being susceptible thereto in his weakened condition. Feeling that his end was near, he determined to be brought home and arrange his papers and set his business affairs in order. On Friday afternoon last, the 17th inst., five days after the surgical operation, he was brought home on a THE WATER BOARDING. Sprinkling the Roads-Ben Kraemer-Ditch-Locust Sprouts-Second Hand Tools-A Stockholder Kicks. The water board met in regular session on Saturday afternoon; pro-Fay, Benchley, Crowther, Brown Key and Nebelung. Mr. Crowther of the committee pointed to procure deeds for right way for the Foos ditch in Place reported that he had deeds with from Devonshire, Foos, Krick Schaller, all of them of uniform size (10 feet), but suggested that before ceasing them and so obligating company to run water through ditch, an effort be made to secure from Bradford, Basten and Montgomery as the ditch in question ran through their properties, situate above lands of the others named, and waive a right of way therein, the county might have trouble in future in deriving water to the lower stockholding one, and the deeds in hand wereceived and filed, and the commission continued to procure deeds for this per right of way. Mr. Browning of the committee pointed to investigate the matter application of Ben Kraemer to clean a private ditch running tween his property and that of brother Samuel Kraemer, report follows: We, your committee, having ingrated the matter of cleaning Kraemer's ditch, find that on Fri., 1879, the Anaheim Water Co., gave Kraemer twenty shares of stock company in consideration of a right owned by the said J. Krick with the understanding that the Kraemer would keep his own coining ditch in order. We find that twenty shares of stock owned by Kraemer are the same twenty share stock that are mentioned in this ment. As this stock is non-assessed and granted under the conditions Mr. Kraemer should clean his ditch, we recommend that the subsequent be instructed not to clean ditch; and that Mr. Kraemer required to keep the ditch cleaned own expense. Ben Kraemer was present and mission being granted him to his case to the board, he stated the Directors of the water co., had on May 15, 1888, passed an instructing the Superintendent Now that the City Trustees have accepted the new water works improvements and drawn their final warrant in payment of the same, it will be useful to turn their attention to the demoralized condition of the electric light improvements now being installed. A month ago, at a meeting of the board, the contractor stated that a new engine had been ordered to replace the engine objected to by the city, but as yet there is nothing to show that the discredited engine is to be removed; in fact matters at the power-house (so far as the new electric light improvements are concerned) have been at a standstill for a month. Not a tap of the hammer has been made toward the completion of the works for weeks, and so far as the completion of the plant is concerned, that event is seemingly quite as far off as ever. The gentleman employed to supervise the installation of the plant has not yet made a report to the city, although the work has now been upwards of five months in progress. The city should have had the new lights in operation two months ago, yet in their unfinished state he would be a wise man indeed to fortell when the work will be completed. The statements of the contractors relative to their purpose to put the works in acceptable order have been so contradictory, and owing to the existence of such ugly stories in reference to various matters connected with these new electric lights, it would seem the Trustees would be justified in taking measures to have the wishes of the people complied with. A month ago the board issued peremptory orders looking to the removal of the engine installed, and its replacement by another more in keeping with the engine selected from the catalogue, and if there exists anything to show that the wishes of the board are to be respected, it does not appear upon the surface. The work of installing the new plant began on April 13, and 90 days were allowed for the completion of the work. This time limit expired July 12th, after which a penalty of $25 per day is to be charged for the non-fulfillment of the contract. We understand that in view of the unsatisfactory manner of installing the plant, coupled with the fact that an unsatisfactory engine has been made a part of the works, that the City Trustees will insist upon the payment of this penalty. Up to this morning the penalties amount to $1800. The original contract price for the works was $8250. Of this amount, $4537 50 has been paid, leaving a balance owing amounting to $3712 50. According to present appearances this sum will be eaten up by the accruing penalties before the works are finally completed. The Trustees have rendered the city good service in pruning down the bill for extras on the part of the water works contractors; now let them probe this electric light business to the bottom, find out what is wrong, and let Dr. Lee contracted articular rheumatism during the subsequent nights, as he was frequently out of his bed, delirious with pain, and being susceptible thereto in his weakened condition. Feeling that his end was near, he determined to be brought home and arrange his papers and set his business affairs in order. On Friday afternoon last, the 17th inst., five days after the surgical operation, he was brought home on a stretcher, in great pain and suffering. To his intimate friends he confided during moments of temporary relief that he would never survive the attack, although the hope was indulged by all that the unfortunate man might recover. On Saturday evening it was not suspected the end was so near, yet death hovered about the bedside of the stricken man. He was in pain, yet was entirely rational and talked freely to those about him. To his friends he confided that he would hardly survive the night. At 12 o'clock the nurse administered a potion of chloroform and retired, and the Doctor sank into a peaceful slumber. At 3 o'clock Mr. Hunter noticed the respiration gradually weaken and shortly after the spirit of the sufferer took its flight. News of the death spread rapidly throughout the community on Sunday morning, casting gloom over all, and causing widespread grief among the many friends of the departed. The good qualities of the deceased were extolled, and there was none but deplored his untimely end. The funeral services were held on Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Although it was announced that there would be no public obsequies, many of the friends of the deceased gathered at the house to pay their last devoirs to him who in life they had regarded as a friend, whose handshake they had clasped and whose cheery smile still lingered and brought up recollections of the dead. The sweet strains of the hymn, "Nearer, My God, to Thee," sung by the Episcopal choir, coming soft and low from the room where the casket, reposing under banks of floral pieces, held the remains of the departed, signalled the friends, who had gathered upon the porch, to enter. Rev. Deering of the Episcopal church conducted the burial services, according to the rites of that church. He read the 25th verse of the 11th chapter of St. John, beginning, "I am the resurrection and the life," and later the 15th chapter of Paul's first epistle to Corinthians. The choir sang "Just as I Am," and after prayer by the pastor, the remains were borne to the waiting hearse standing by the front gate. The pallbearers were Stephen Kister, H. Cahen, P. A. Derge, H. A. Dickel, George V. Horr and A. M. Williams. The mourning widow, leaning upon the arm of Mrs. Langenberger and Dr. Bullard, was escorted to her carriage, and the cortex moved slowly to the grave. The daughter was unable to leave her bed to attend the obsequies. At the cemetery Rev. Deering read the burial service, and the mortal remains of the departed were consigned to earth. Dr. Lee was born June 24, 1842. His early life was spent in Vermont. At age 21 he moved to Idaho, and two years last July he came with his family to Anaheim. He was a laid back and the nerve removed. This was the third major operation of the kind undergone by the Doctor, during the last three years, although he had undergone numerous minor operations for the same diseased nerve in times past.

The assessor's figures this year are almost the same as for 1896 and if the other counties of the State had followed the instructions of the State Board of Equalization the tax levy would have been a trifle lower than last year, but as some of the larger counties reduced their assessment rolls, the State board saw fit to reduce the other counties as well, and as the same amount of revenue had to be raised, the only way out of the difficulty was to make a higher rate of taxation. Orange county is the loser by the change, for although the State Board has reduced our assessment roll 15 per cent, the higher State rate (51 cents) will require us to pay into the State fund $47,620 instead of $46,333 as in 1896, being an excess of $1,287. While the rate this year is $1.75, the amount collected for the different county funds will be $756 less than was collected last year. Mr. Potter's table is as follows: | County valuation | 1894. | 1895. | 1896. | 1897. | | :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | | | $10,041,461 | $9,521,791 | $10,800,232 | $9,337,401 | | Rate | Revenue | Rate | Revenue | Revenue | | State tax | .493 | .685 | .429 | .51 | | County school tax | .260 | .30 | .285 | .32 | | Courthouse and jail | .200 | .18 | .324 | .30 | | Salary fund | .200 | .19 | .18 | .23 | | Current expense | .207 | .22 | .225 | .27 | | Hospital fund | .004 | .045 | .051 | .07 | | Road fund | .250 | .28 | .184 | .35 | | Special road | ... | ... | ... | ... | The pallbearers were Stephen Kistler, H. Cahen, P. A. Derge, H. A. Dickel, George V. Horr and A. M. Williams. The mourning widow, leaning upon the arm of Mrs. Langenberger and Dr. Bullard, was escorted to her carriage, and the cortegue moved slowly to the grave. The daughter was unable to leave her bed to attend the obsequies. At the cemetery Rev. Deering read the burial service, and the mortal remains of the departed were consigned to earth. Dr. Lee was born June 24, 1842. His early life was spent in Vermont. At the age of 21 he moved to Idaho, and two years last July he came with his family to Anaheim. He was a member of the Fraternal Aid, in which his life was insured for $3000; of the A. O. U. W., in which he was insured for $2000; and was also a member of the Foresters. The thirty-fourth anniversary of the battle of Sabine Pass, Tex., in which our fellow-townsman Dr. G. H. Bailey participated in the capacity of surgeon for the confederate forces, was celebrated at Hempstead, Tex., on the 8th inst. During several years past it had been thought that only three men survive the battle, among them being Dr. Bailey, but recently two other survivors have been found. The battle of Sabine Pass marked a distinct advance of the Texas forces during the civil war, and as such is celebrated with great enthusiasm with each recurring year. The Galveston daily News of Sept. 5th contains a lengthy account of the battle, in which the many stirring scenes of the engagement are depicted in an entertaining and spirited manner. DEATH. LEE—In this city, Sunday, Sept 19, 1897, Dr. Chas. K. Lee, aged 55 years, 2 months and 25 days. San Jose papers please copy. Dry stove wood delivered at $6 per cord, novtf C. Otto Rust. Mr. Nebelung observed that tender was the proper party to these matters, and Mr. Keeling with him fully thereupon, ter was allowed to pass without Mr. Browning asked why the intendent had purchased a second plow to do work at the curfew The plow purchased was bad and it was no economy to buy hand tools, especially when付 a first-class article are but little than for second-hand. Supt. Sheppard replied that gone to Los Angeles for the purchase a first-class plow could find none that was given to do work in hand; then hand plow was guaranteed to work, and was now doing his satisfaction. It cost $40 to a question relative to the first-class plow, the Superintendent the cost would be about further stated that if he not think the plow purchased one, he would take it off the hands. Mr. Fay read from a letter by him relative to prices for showing that a good first-class could be laid down in Anaheim $42 75; and one of extra strength and in every manner to the first, for $52 25. The was a first-class plow, and able to do the work the consisted of it. He stated the price charged by Sheppard was badly Mr. Key considered the purchaser a foolish buy. Mr. Browning sent THE WATER BOARD. Calling the Roads-Ben Kraemer'sitch-Louust Sprouts-SecondHand Tools-A Stockholder Kicks. The water board met in regular session on Saturday afternoon; present Benchley, Crowther, Browning, and Nebelung. Crowther of the committee applied to procure deeds for right of use for the Foos ditch in Placentia, noted that he had deeds with him Devonshire, Foos, Krick and Miller, all of them of uniform width (met), but suggested that before acting them and so obligating the company to run water through the ditch, an effort be made to secure deeds Bradford, Basten and Montgomery, the ditch in question ran through properties, situate above the banks of the others named, and without right of way therein, the company must have trouble in future in delivering water to the lower stockholders. Suggestion was considered a good and the deeds in hand were re-read and filed, and the committee continued to procure deeds for the upright of way. Mr. Browning of the committee applied to investigate the matter of the application of Ben Kraemer to have owned a private ditch running beneath his property and that of his father, Samuel Kraemer, reported as news: He, your committee, having investigated the matter of cleaning Ben Kraemer's ditch, find that on Feb. 22, the Anaheim Water Co. gave J. Kraemer twenty shares of stock of this company in consideration of a water lot owned by the said J. Kraemer, in the understanding that the said J. Kraemer would keep his own connect-ditch in order. We find that the twenty shares of stock owned by Ben Kraemer are the same twenty shares of stock that are mentioned in this agreement. As this stock is non-assessable granted under the conditions that Kraemer should clean his own fish we recommend that the superintendent be instructed not to clean the fish; and that Mr. Kraemer be reared to keep the ditch clean at his expense. Ben Kraemer was present and persistence being granted him to present case to the board, he stated that Directors of the water company, on May 15, 1888, passed an order instructing the Superintendent to clean the water board met in regular session on Saturday afternoon; present Benchley, Crowther, Browning, and Nebelung.

The Board of Supervisors on Monday fixed the rate of taxation for the fiscal year 1897-98 as follows upon the $100 of property valuation: State rate: .51 try and artillery were soon and started in pursuit of but were not able to oversee A severe fight has taken sugar estate Tranquilladazanillo, between a Spanish by Forredcillis and the in alray under Rios. The Spice Mr. Browning suggested that if the grounds were sprung up, which if not attended to would soon become bad for the ditch. Mr. Key called the attention of the Superintendent to a break in the culvert on Placentia avenue, near Crowder's northeast corner. Referred to the Superintendent, to repair the break if the culvert be company property; and if it be over a private ditch which the board were of opinion it was to call the attention of the Road overseer thereto. Mr. Key reported that a stockholder of the company had been to him containing that he could not secure work in the cut and fill. Supt. Sheppard reported that Mr. Nenno (the stockholder referred to) had done quite a good deal of work on one cut and fill; but inasmuch as his team of horses were not good wheel trappers, (one of the mares biting and kicking the team in front, and not doing her share of the work), he had laid Mr. Nenno off until such time as he should have work more congenial to this team. Mr. Nebelung observed the Superintendent was the proper party to attend to these matters, and Mr. Key agreeing with him fully thereupon, the matter was allowed to pass without action. Mr. Browning asked why the Superintendent had purchased a second-hand tool to do the work at the cut and fill. The plow purchased was badly worn, and it was no economy to buy second-hand tools, especially when prices for first-class article are but little higher than for second-hand. Supt. Sheppard replied that he had gone to Los Angeles for the purpose of purchasing a first-class plow, but he would find none that was guaranteed to do the work in hand; the second-hand plow was guaranteed to do the work, and was now doing the work to his satisfaction. It cost $40. In reply to a question relative to the cost of a first-class plow, the Superintendent stated the cost would be about $65. He further stated that if the board did not think the plow purchased a good one, he would take it off the company's hands. Mr. Fay read from a letter received by him relatie to prices for plows, showing that a good first-class plow should be laid down in Anaheim for 4275; and one of extraordinary strength and in every manner superior to the first, for $5225. The first plow was a first-class plow, and abundantly able to do the work the company desired of it. He stated the plow purchased by Sheppard was badly worn. Mr. Key considered the plow purchased a foolish buy.

Cuban Insurgents Successfully Evade the Vigilance of Their Spanish Foes. HAVANA, Sept. 20.—A large expedition landed safely on Wednesday in the Province of Matanzas, and a considerable quantity of ammunition and stores reached the insurgents' camp in safety. The leader of the expedition was Manuel Toronado, who was at one time editor of "La Discussion," the Havana paper that was suppressed by Weyler for its severe criticism of his actions. The government got wind of the arrival of the filibusters and a gunboat was hurried to the larding place. The last boat, containing medicines, had just been landed when the advancing vessel was sighted. These stores were abandoned and fell into the hands of the Spanishards. Two large columns of cavalry, infantry and artillery were so sound and started in pursuit of them that were not able to overtake them. A severe fight has taken sugar estate Tranquilidad zanillo, between a Spanish by Forreddillis and the infirmary under Rios.

CITY TAXES Notice is hereby given, that the Municipal Taxes of the City of Anaheim, for the fiscal try and artillery were soon mobilized and started in pursuit of the Cubans, but were not able to overtake them. A severe fight has taken place on the sugar estate Tranquiladad, near Manzanillo, between a Spanish column led by Forredcillis and the insurgent cavalry under Rios. The Spaniards formed a square which was thrice broken by fierce machete charges but reformed. In the final charge, the Royal troops were routed with a heavy loss of officers and men. Commandant Barnable was among the killed. General Duccacci yesterday attacked Murina City in the Province of Pinar del Rio, and drove out the troops. A large part of the place was burned, including the military headquarters, and a stock of supplies fell into the insurgents' hands. Reinforcements were hurriedly gathered in Havana and were yesterday dispatched to Candelaria, the city recently captured and partially destroyed by the insurgents. The members of the Maria Christi battalion have been engaged in a serious riot at Matanzas. While waiting for a train at the railway station, the men were unruly, and when the station agent expostulated he was cut down by machetes. The soldiers, brandishing weapons, attacked all the station hands and raided the ticket office. The clerks opened fire, killing and wounding several people. They were overcome. An editor who had been pounding away at his delinquent subscribers for some time finally brought them to their sense of duty with the following poetical parody: "Lives of great men oft remind us, honest toll don't stand a chance; more we work we leave behind us bigger patches on our pants. On our pants once new and glossy, now are patches of a different hue; all because subscribers linger, and won't pay what is due. Then let us be up and doing; send in your mite be it er so small, or when the snow of winter strikes us, we won't have no pants at all." RECORD OF THE TEMPERATURE. Maximum. Minimum. Average.
