The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, CHARLES KUCHEL, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY.....FEBRUARY 24, 1893 OUR CLIMATE UNSURPASSED. In common with other portions of Southern California, Anaheim enjoys an evenness of temperature from one season to another, with the clear, bright days of perpetual sunshine. The mild, cooling afternoon breezes of summer, and the cool nights, which together have made of this favored section the Mecca of the invalid and health-seeker. And there are additional advantages of climate for Anaheim, not shared in by other places, arising from location and from the character of the soil. Situated about equally distant from the sea and from the foothills, there comes daily from the ocean twelve miles away the healthful, ozone-bringing breezes of the trade winds, softened in force and deprived of their harshness by blowing across the intervening valley. These breezes act as a regulator for the temperature, warming the air in winter and cooling it in summer, and preventing that oppressively hot, deadening feeling which is so often felt at Los Angeles and further inland in summer. The sea-fogs rolling inland are usually dispersed before reaching Anaheim, or, if found resting upon the town in the early morning, rapidly disappear with the advancing sun. The subsol of Anaheim is porous, the surface quickly drains, and stagnant pools do not form even after the heaviest rains of winter. Consequently malaria and epidemic diseases have never been known. The surface soil is found to be a warm, sandy loam, selected by the early settlers as the best in all this region for the growth of semi-tropical fruits. It retains its warmth and heat long after the temperature falls below the dew point at night. There is no moisture exhaled into the air from the ground, and the invalid does not feel here that sense of chilliness after the sun goes down as upon the heavier soils. Whatever moisture exists in the air is the invisible snuffing out of the Independent makes the seventh paper that started as an "oppositon" to the GAZETTE, has passed over into the local journalistic grave-yard since the establishment of this paper, in the Fall of 1870. The GAZETTE under its various ownerships has all along had a happy faculty of speaking out for tie right, and while yet scarce a year old encountered its first opposition in the establishment of the People's Advocate, by Max Strobel, who had political aspirations of no mean order, along in the summer of 1871. The new candidate for public favor was called into being ostensibly to fill "a long-felt want," but really for the purpose of grooming Major Strobel for the Assembly. The GAZETTE opposed his candidature, championing the cause of Asa Ellis, who was triumphantly elected in November of that year. The People's Advocate continued to be published during that campaign, but the public soon became convinced of its real mission, and its demise, early in 1872, followed as a natural sequence of events. Maj Strobel a short time after went to London to negotiate the sale of the Santa Catalina Island to an English syndicate. When on the eve of a successful constummation of his mission he died, being found dead in bed at his hotel, succumbing to heart disease. The People's Advocate was issued from the building on the corner of Lemon street and Broadway, afterwards for years occupied by Mr. Warling as a harness shop. The progress of this journal was then undisturbed by signs of opposition until the winter of 1877, when the Review made its appearance, published by Geo. C. Knox and E. F. Cahill, the latter years after coming from San Francisco to conduct the Santa Ana Blade. Of all the papers issued in opposition to the GAZETTE, the Review was probably the most readable, although the GAZETTE had no difficulty in "scooping" it each week on important news items. The Review yielded up the ghost in five months' time, leaving numerous mourning creditors to deplore its untimely end. The Review was published in the building for a long time past occupied by Herr Bennerscheidt as a tin shop. The next candidate for public favor was the New Era, started by Br. Field in 1886. Its course was marked by many spiteful references to this jour- The heaviest rains of winter. Consequently malaria and epidemic diseases have never been known. The surface soil is found to be a warm, sandy loam, selected by the early settlers as the best in all this region for the growth of semi-tropical fruits. It retains its warmth and heat long after the temperature falls below the dew point at night. There is no moisture exhaled into the air from the ground, and the invalid does not feel here that sense of chilliness after the sun goes down as upon the heavier soils. Whatever moisture exists in the air is the invisible moisture which comes from the sea, barely sufficient to soften its dryness and to give it a tonic effect. The climate of Anaheim and vicinity is therefore, one which generously lets the individual alone, neither enervating by a too luxurious softness nor harassing by rapid variations or harshness. It is a climate in which one lives 340 days, or more, of the year in the open air; sleeps in blankets and works in shirt-sleeves from January round to December; whose warm winter months, with flowers always in bloom, sustain a temperature ranging from 50 to 70 degrees, seldom as low as 40 degrees, very seldom lower. The rains of the year, which come at this period, are but occasional showers interspersed with sunshine. It is a climate whose summer temperature is never uncomfortably hot as in the East, always being kept below the perspiring point by the dry character and the perpetually moving currents of the air. We therefore make no boast in ascribing to Anaheim a climate offering equally the benefits of a residence by the sea and of one upon the higher mesa lands, the tonic electrifying air of the former without its frogs and chilliness, added to the dry, even atmosphere of the latter, minus its enervating tendencies. It is a climate for the invalid unsurpassed. Whether one comes seeking relief from the dregs of malarial poison long fastened upon him, or burdened with dyspeptic troubles, or with vital force at low ebb from overtaxing of brain or body, he will at once find relief. Former health returns without special care and without drugs. Catarrhal, asthmatic and bronchial affections are singularly benefited by the constant evenness of the density of the air. The sufferer from consumption, coming perhaps after the disease is firmly fixed upon him, and too late for complete cure, finds his distressing symptoms disappear and a new lease of life given him. Those inheriting a predisposition to lung troubles, or being yet in the first stages of the disease, are enabled here to throw off this morbid tendency and develop health and strength again. Others of delicate constitution, inherited or acquired, which resist poorly extremes of heat and cold, find here a climate which allows them to work without exhaustion and keep pace with their more rugged brethren. Be it the kidneys or gouty or rheumatic troubles which torment the sufferer, relief is speedily noticed after a short residence here. The increased action of the skin, developed by the stimulating properties of the RIVERSIDE furnishes an interesting example in the success of municipal ownership in electric lighting. The receipts from the lighting system in that city are $1000 per month, while the total expenditure of conducting the system amounts to $1219 per month. For this excess of $219 monthly the city is furnished with 84 are lights for street purposes and 200 incandescent lights for the different city offices. All the papers issued in opposition to the GAZETTE, the Review was probably the most readable, although the GAZETTE had no difficulty in "scooping" it each week on important news items. The Review yielded up the ghost in five months' time, leaving numerous mourning creditors to deplore its untimely end. The Review was published in the building for a long time past occupied by Herr Bennerscheidt as a tin shop. The next candidate for public favor was the New Era, started by Br. Field in 1886. Its course was marked by many spiteful references to this journal, and after eking out a precarious existence for a year or more, it climbed up the golden stairs in 1888, going up three steps at a time. A bow-legged printer named Colyer, hailing from Santa Ana, next appeared upon the scene, and resuscitated the paper, calling it the Era, we believe, and announced quietly that he would "run out the GAZETTE" in six weeks' time! Mr. Colyer failed to do it. He had very red hair, and his breath had also an extremely roseate aspect. He lasted about two months and walked out of town! The next aspirants for honors in the newspaper line were Mr. Owen and Jos. Becher, the latter still a resident of this city, having long since reformed and led an upright and respectable life since quitting the newspaper business. At present he occupies a responsible position with Mr. Boyd's grocery, and despite his newspaper connections is an extremely modest and well-behaved young man. Messrs. Owens and Becher came upon the scene in 1889, and issued the Budget from the same building whence the New Era was published to an enlightened world, on Lemon street. The Budget lasted a month longer than Mr. Colyer's paper, and passed in its checks in three months from the time of its first issue. Next upon the scene was the Journal, started by Br. Nugent along in the summer of 1892. Nugent had been running a paper at Fullerton, and came to Anaheim at the solicitation of parties having political aspirations, but after conducting the paper for something like a year and a half, he gave up the ghost, going into insolvency and leaving behind him debts aggregating upwards of $1000. The last we heard of Nugent he was firing on a Santa Fe engine. Following Nugent came Bro. Rugg with the Independent, which after conducting for a time he disposed of to B.L.Bourland, who a fortnight ago discontinued its publication, having retired with an independent fortune.

He commenced operations Wednesday [he did not] and continued them yesterday and to-day [he did not], claiming he could make it rain within three days [he did not], but as yet his experiments have not proved entirely satisfactory, although it has sprinkled lightly each day. [It has not.] As the indications are favorable at present for rain [they are not] he will likely continue his operations for a day or two. [He will not.] There existed no ground whatever for the publication of this ridiculous item. There is not a particle of truth in it, and it would take a Philadelphia lawyer to find out how the whole thing originated. The Times correspondent at Santa Ana ought to be promoted to a position where his talents might be accorded a wider scope of activity. Santa Ana is altogether too small a place for his budding genius. RIVERSIDE furnishes an interesting example in the success of municipal ownership in electric lighting. The receipts from the lighting system in that city are $1000 per month, while the total expenditure of conducting the system amounts to $1219 per month. For this excess of $219 monthly the city is furnished with 84 arc lights for street purposes and 200 incandescent lights for the different city offices. Reckoning the cost of these arcs at $10 each per month, and the incandescents at $1 each per month (which is under the price usually charged by private owners for similar service) it will be seen that under private ownership the charge for public lights would amount to upwards of 80 per cent of the cost of the whole system, as at present conducted. In this view of the case, what advance on the present schedule for commercial lighting would obtain under private ownership? Excursions. The Santa Fe route is running excursions in Pullman tourist sleeping cars of latest pattern over their line and connections as follows: Daily between Los Angeles and Kansas City and Chicago; every Tuesday between Los Angeles and Minneapolis, Minn.; every Tuesday between Los Angeles and New York; every Wednesday between Los Angeles and Minneapolis. These cars run through without transfer 24 hours quicker time than is possible via any competing line. Pullman palace sleepers daily running through to Chicago and Kansas City; lowest rates. Inquire for further information at Santa Fe ticket office, depot, Anaheim, Cal. feb24tf If you are going to Alaska via Dyea or Skaguay route, you can shorten your journey from 18 to 48 hours in time by taking the famous Southern Pacific route via Portland to Tacoma or Seattle, a safe, quick and comfortable all-rail trip. The cost of a ticket includes berth in sleeping car from San Francisco or Sacramento to Portland. Prompt and convenient connection at Portland with daily trains of Northern Pacific railroad. Money to Loan. From $5,000 to $10,000 in sums to suit, on real estate or approved security. Apply to Richard Melrose. dec-23tf THE MASQUERADE BALL. A Very Successful and Enjoyable Social Affair. Chronicles of Maskers Present, their Identity Hidden Under Impenetrable Disguises—The Returned Klondiker and His Family, Who were Glad to Get Back to Anaheim-Julia Nemetz was the Ghost, and She Frightened Everybody So Carl Pressel made a Dandy Colored Dude—All Hands Stayed Till the Small Hours of the Morning. The Opera-house was transformed into a bower of beauty on Tuesday evening, on the occasion of the masquerade ball given by the Anaheim brass band. Washington's Birthday was never soittingly celebrated, and never was there a larger attendance at any similar event in the annals of the city. The people felt they ought to give the band boys a good send-off at their first masquerade, and right royally did they see to it that nothing was lacking to make the ball one to be remembered among the social events of the community. The stairway was appropriately decorated with the national colors, which draped over the entrance as porieres, and flowers and evergreens and decorations served to impart to the ensemble a peculiarly charming effect. The electric lights shed a subdued illumination through paper coverings of red, white and blue, and when the merry maskers began to arrive the scene was one of picturesque animation that will not be soon forgotten. Outside the main hall were the members of the band in their various capacities as committeemen, faultlessly attired in evening dress, and leading off from the outer hallway were the dressing-rooms through which one caught glimpses of fairies and flower-girls and Spanish cavaliers preparing to make their tentree into the dance hall. The ball was in every respect a conspicuous success, and the band boys deserve credit for carrying out so admirably such an enjoyable affair. The reception committee was composed of Fred Ahlborn, J. W. Whann, Oscar Renner and C. Lincoln. Floor committee: Tony Adams, Allan Melrose, Wm. Freise, John Kellenberger. Invitation committee: W. Schwenck Mrs. L. McKnight — Flower girl.

ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 22...A special from Columbia, S.C., to the Constitution says that most revolting crime ever perpetrated by white men in South Carolina was committed at Lake City, Williamsburg county, at 1 o'clock this morning, when Postmaster Baker, a negro, and his family were burned out of their home, the postmaster and a babe in arms killed, his wife and three daughters shot and maimed for life. Baker was appointed postmaster three months ago. Lake City is town of 400 inhabitants, and the negro population in the vicinity is large. There was a protest at Baker's appointment but it was not a very vigorous one. Three months ago, as the postmaster was leaving office at night in company with several colored men, he was fired on from ambush, but it was not known that the would-be assassin was prompted by other than personal malice. Since then Baker moved his family into a house on the outskirts of the town where he also established the post-office. Last Tuesday a body of men who kept concealed behind buildings and fences in the neighborhood riddled with shot and rifle bullets They shot high and no one was hurt but it was supposed to convey a warning It was a short time before Senai elected that the law was Spier acting in the capacity taxpayer appealed to Court to issue an injunction allegation upon the unconstitutional act.

THE MAINE INQUIRY. CHICAGO,Feb.22.-The Journal has the following special from Washington: "Should it be proven that the Maine was destroyed by an outside explosion with the knowledge of Spanish officials,President McKinley will demand an indemnity of from $13,000,000 to $15,000,-000. This statement was made to-day by an officer of the naval department who is thoroughly conversant with the present Spanish situation.' It was decided at a conference of the President and several Cabinet officers to-day,' he Three months ago, as the postmaster was leaving the office at night, in company with several colored men, he was fired on from ambush, but it was not known that the would-be assassin was prompted by other than personal malice.Since then Baker moved his family into a house on the outskirts of the town, where he also established the post-office. Last Tuesday a body of men who kept concealed behind buildings and fences in the neighborhood,riddled the building with shot and rifle bullets.The they shot high and no one was hurtbut it was supposed to convey a warning.It was a short time before Senators Tilman and McLaurin and Congressman Horton had asked the Postmaster-General to remove Baker because of his color and the request had been refused.Baker did not move his family and gave no evidence of being frightened He felt confident of protection from Washington. At 1 o'clock this morning a torch was applied to the postoffice and Baker's house.Back just within the line of light were more than a hundred white men armed with pistols and shotgunsBy the time the fire aroused the sleeping family,consisting of the postmaster,his wife,four daughters,a son and an infant at the breast,the crowd began firing into the building.A hundred bullet holes were made through the thin boarding,and many found lodgement in the people within.Baker was first to reach the door,and he fell dead just within the threshold.being shot in several places.The mother had the baby in her armsand had reached the door over her husband's dead body when a bullet crash-ed through its skull and it fell to the floor.She was shot in several places.Two of the girls had their arms broken close to the shoulders and will probably lose them.Another girl is believed to be fatally wounded.The boy is shot.Two of the seven occupants of the house escaped with slight injuries.The bodies of Baker and the infant were cremated in the building.All mail matter was destroyed.A Coroner's jury was impaneled this evening and visited the charred remains and adjourned until Saturday There is bitter indignation expressed everywhere. At the close of the amt matter was submitted upon Smart Lawyer. Plankting-I understaff had to go to law about that was left you.Have you lawyer?

The value of the vessel is estimated at $5,-000,000. The rest is to be paid to the relatives of officers and men who lost their lives by the destruction of the vessel. NEW YORK, Feb. 22.—According to a Key West correspondent John W. Sawyer, a prominent merchant of this city, was on the steamer Olivette when the explosion of the Maine was heard near Havana. When the vessel was ten or twelve miles from Havana, Mr. Sawyer says, a report like that of the discharge of a cannon was heard. Looking back in the direction of Havana he saw a big volume of smoke rising near the city. The smoke was so dense and rose to such a height as to cause an involuntary remark by a passenger that the entire city had been blown up. Others thought that it must have been the discharge of one of the immense Krupp guns mounted on the beach outside of Moro Castle. What gave color to this belief was the fact that notwithstanding the distance and that the wind was from an opposite direction, the report was distinctly heard on board the Olivette. PRIMARY ELECTION LAW. Arguments on Appeal From the Tulare County Superior Court. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 21.—The Supreme Court to-day took up the case of Charles A. Spier against the Tulare County Board of Supervisors, the suit involving the validity of the new primary law, of which State Senator Stratton is the author. The importance of the case is widespread and general interest is manifested in the ultimate decision, for upon it depends much. Both of the old parties have seemed to favor the new law, but the Populist party have been opposed to it from the time it was presented to the Legislature. The State Executive Committee of the Populist party declares against it, and it was at the committee's direction that Thomas V., Cator appeared in behalf of the plaintiff and appellant. The Superior Court of Tulare county decided that the law was valid, and Spier, acting in the capacity of a citizen and taxpayer, appealed to the Supreme Court to issue an injunction upon an allegation upon the unconstitutionality of the act. Quite a number of prominent lawyers and politicians were present this morning to hear the argument in the case. GINGER ALE Fullerton, Cal. REMEMBER US FOR COOD COFFEES AND TEAS. Our 50c.

The State Executive Committee of the Populist party declares against it, and it was at the committee's direction that Thomas V., Cator appeared in behalf of the plaintiff and appellant. The Superior Court of Tulare county decided that the law was valid, and Spler, acting in the capacity of a citizen and taxpayer, appealed to the Supreme Court to issue an injunction upon an allegation upon the unconstitutionality of the act. Quite a number of prominent lawyers and politicians were present this morning to hear the argument in the case. Thomas V. Cator appeared as attorney to oppose the new law and attorney F. B. Howard of Tulare appeared on behalf of the respondent, while attorney Fredrick S. Stratton was present to uphold the constitutionality of the act. He was assisted by Gavin McNab. Mr. Cator, in his opening address, declared the law an act of injustice to any new party. He summarized his speech against it as follows: First—It is unconstitutional because it takes away the right to nominate by petition. Second—It is unconstitutional because it requires an oath that the voter intends to support the nominee of a future convention. Third—Because it destroys the secrecy of voting, requiring every voter to show with what party he votes. Fourth—Because it forbids the payment of election officers. Fifth—Because it is invalid in its title, signifying that it is for more than one purpose. Sixth—Because it is mandatory and compels the formation of political organizations. At the close of the argument, the matter was submitted upon briefs. Smart Lawyer. Plankington—I understand that you had to go to law about that property that was left you. Have you a smart lawyer?
