DEATH OF MR. AND MRS. WERDER. The Aged Couple Breathe Their Last Yesterday. Taken Down With an Attack of La Grippe New Year's Day—Mr. Werder Dies at 1:50 Yesterday Morning, and His Wife Follows Him Yesterday Morning at 10-Both Bodies Will Be Taken to Los Angeles Tomorrow Morning to Be Cremated—Universal Regret Expressed at the Death of This Old and Highly Respected Couple, Who Were Pioneers of Anaheim. Herman Werder, one of the highly respected Pioneers of Anaheim, breathed his last at his residence in this city at 1:50 o'clock yesterday morning. He had been ill scarce a fortnight, having been taken down with an attack of the grip on New Year's day. On that day Mrs. Werder, whose condition is so serious that small hopes are entertained of her recovery, complained of feeling ill, and shortly thereafter Mr. Werder was taken down. Although everything was done that medical knowledge could devise to restore him to health, he sank rapidly, and breathed his last at 1:50 o'clock yesterday morning, surrounded by the members of his family. Mr. Werder came to Anaheim in 1859, and had resided here with his family ever since, held in the highest esteem by the entire community. He was a type of the old German citizen, and was the personification of probity and honor. He was a wine maker and for many years engaged in the manufacture of wines of superior quality. He was a native of Lippe-Detmold, Prussia, and was in the seventy-fourth year of his age. He leaves a widow, herself sick unto death, and a family of grown-up children, among them being Mrs. F. A. Backs and Mrs. Jos. Bennerscheldt of this city and Mrs. Niehaus of Berkeley, who was telegraphed for yesterday, and is expected to arrive today. The remains will be taken to Los Angeles by tomorrow morning's Santa Fe train to be cremated, that being the expressed wish of the deceased. The death of Mr. Werder will remove a familiar figure from the community. He has resided in Anaheim for forty years, being one of the hardy members of Pioneers who assisted in making the desert blossom as the rose. He was highly respected among all, and his worth of products, horticultural and industrial, to sell in our seven counties this year. Petroleum alone put out a $2,000,000 product. This together with the assured expenditure of government money at San Pedro and the impetus to Southern California commercially and industrially looked for from the acquisition of new territory to the west of us, allows Southern California to face the new year with confidence although our season's rainfall is yet delayed. [Since the report, rains have come in abundance.—Ed.] TUESDAY NIGHTS FIRE. Wm. Fischer's Distillery the Scene of an Incipient Blaze, Which the Fire Boys Put Out. "Doesn't that look like a fire over there?" said Engineer Byers of the city electric light works, to our reporter, on Center street, about 6 o'clock on Tuesday evening, as he pointed over toward Wm. Fischer's residence, on the corner of Cypress and Lemon streets. "I saw some smoke over there, and I thought I heard some one cry fire." As the two walked down the sidewalk to get a better view of the scene of the supposed fire, Mr. Fischer's little daughter ran up on the other side of the street, and said in a shy voice that her father's distillery was on fire. Byers returned his steps to the fire-alarm box near Wisser's, smashed in the glass facing and pressed the spiral vigorously. But the fire bell refused to respond. Quite a volume of smoke had been issuing from the building, and suddenly the blaze burst through the roof. People ran along the street crying "Fire!" Some one rang the fire bell, and soon a hundred people gathered at the fire. The horses were released and one plunged madly at the lantern held by Mrs. Fischer. It had been raining all day, and the ground was sloppy. Pools of water stood everywhere. The frightened horse ran into Willie Wallop and the newspaper reporter. The latter had to grab hold of the horse's leg to keep from falling in the mud. The horse snorted and galloped out into the street. Meantime the building continued to burn. The fire was on the inside, and seemed to be pretty well smothered. Fischer tried to extinguish the flames with a hand extinguisher. Suddenly the volume of smoke grew larger, the smothered blaze became brighter, and it seemed the fire would soon envelop the building. The fire boys attached the hose to worth of products, horticultural and industrial, to sell in our seven counties this year. Petroleum alone put out a $2,000,000 product. This together with the assured expenditure of government money at San Pedro and the impetus to Southern California commercially and industriially looked for from the acquisition of new territory to the west of us, allows Southern California to face the new year with confidence although our season's rainfall is yet delayed. [Since the report, rains have come in abundance.—Ed.] Gleinigkeiten. Rain began falling yesterday afternoon, after clear skies in the morning. The indications as we go to press are good for more wetness. The ladies' euche club will be entertained by Mrs. Lewis at her home on Center street this (Thursday) afternoon. The business places of F. Backs and Jos. Bennerscheldt were closed yesterday, on account of the death of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Werder. Newman-Essick advertises forty acres of grain land in the Hazard subdivision of the Olinda. See the adversement on the second page. The shooting section of the Turners enjoyed a jack-rabbit shoot on the Kraemer ranch on Sunday. In the neighborhood of 75 jacks were killed. The Santa Ana Herald now comes out as a semi-weekly, issued on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Bro. Shaw gets up a readable paper. Doctors report more sickness than at any time in years. An epidemic of the grip seems to have come to town, and many people are down with the ailment. However no serious results are apprehended. Carl Schindler has completed the laying of the cement sidewalk in front of the Hussman property, and is now engaged in putting down a cement sidewalk on the opposite side of the street, from Center street to a point near Broadway. The north-bound San Diego train over the Santa Fe due here at 11:14 yesterday morning, was delayed two hours on account of a washout between here and San Diego. The wires were down, and the precise point of the washout could not be learned. The reporter of the Gazette has succumbed to the fashionable malady that has been prevailing hereaday, and is in the clutches of the grip. He don't feel exactly like the last rose of summer, but he feels pretty well toward the end of the row. Business firms of this city and neighboring towns who may be in need of job work of any sort, should remember that we are prepared to do the same with neatness and dispatch, and at rates cheaper than the cheapest. Bring on your job work. We will please you as to quality and price. This week from the first Sunday after Epiphany to the second, is a self- year of his age. He leaves a widow, herself sick unto death, and a family of grown-up children, among them being Mrs. F. A. Backs and Mrs. Jos. Bennerscheidt of this city and Mrs. Niehaus of Berkeley, who was telegraphed for yesterday, and is expected to arrive today. The remains will be taken to Los Angeles by tomorrow morning's Santa Fe train to be cremated, that being the expressed wish of the deceased. The death of Mr. Werder will remove a familiar figure from the community. He has resided in Anaheim for forty years, being one of the hardy members of Pioneers who assisted in making the desert blossom as the rose. He was highly respected among all, and his death is deplored by the entire community. DEATH OF MRS. WERDER. Mrs. Werder breathed her last at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, following her husband into the bourne from which no traveler returns, but a few hours after his death. She had been his constant companion during the forty years of his residence here, and was loved by all for her many rare qualities of mind and heart. She was in her usual good health on New Years' day, when she complained of being ill and had to take to her bed. She was followed the next day by her husband, who was also taken severely ill, and together they sank until there was little if any hope for the recovery of either. She was conscious at the time of the death of her husband, and when informed of his death, viewed the matter calmly, in the knowledge that she would soon follow him. The family gathered about her bedside and she counseled with them during the few remaining hours of her waning lifetime. She conversed with her children and grand children quietly upon family matters. At 5 o'clock she lapsed into unconsculousness, and at 10 o'clock breathed her last. She was aged 74 years and was a native of Prussia. Both bodies will be taken to Los Angles to-morrow morning to be cremated, that being the expressed wish of both in their lifetime. The community mourns the death of this old and highly esteemed couple, and their death will be deplored. BUSINESS AFFAIRS. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Yearly Review of Trade Conditions in Southern California. The year of '98 is the record year of the United States in financial and industrial results. It is beyond parallel. The volume of domestic and export trade exceeding that of '92, heretofore the banner year. The demand for breadstuffs and other necessaries was never before equalled, and the liberal shipment of cereals, which has been a feature of the year, still continues. The story of the iron trade of the year is one of unprecedented expansion. The output of pig iron reached 11,645, 000 tons, greater than Great Britain ever reached by 2,800,000 tons. The export trade for the country was nearly double that of the import, and for the first time in the history of the country we exported more manufactured goods than were imported. Add to all this the fact that there were fewer failures with lower liabilties than for some years past, and certanally the trade conditions for the year must have exceeded the expectations of the most sanguine. Prices are from 400 to 800 per cent higher here than in the states. Sugar now sells 2 lb. for $1.00; flour $1.60 Mrs. Fischer. It had been raining all day, and the ground was sloppy. Pools of water stood everywhere. The frightened horse ran into Willie Wallop and the newspaper reporter. The latter had to grab hold of the horse's leg to keep from falling in the mud. The horse snorted and galloped out into the street. Meantime the building continued to burn. The fire was on the inside, and seemed to be pretty well smothered. Fischer tried to extinguish the flames with a hand extinguisher. Suddenly the volume of smoke grew larger, the smothered blaze became brighter, and it seemed the fire would soon envelop the building. The fire boys attached the hose to the fire plug at Deutsch's corner and in a jiffy had a spirited stream of water turned upon the distillery. The fire was soon extinguished. Fischer was quite badly burned about the forehead. The origin of the fire is unknown to him. He had a fire in the still, and while the family were at super the flames burst out. The loss is estimated at $100. LETTER FROM DAWSON. Charley Rogers Meets with Friends from Westminster on Hunker Creek. M. L. Rogers on Sunday received a letter from his son, Charley, who is now in winter quarters at Dawson, from which he has kindly furnished us with the following extract: DAWSON, Yukon Territory. Nov. 17, 1898. DEAR FATHER AND MOTHER: The first mail to go out by government service since the boats stopped running, will leave in a very few days over the ice, and I am to-day writing letters, and I hope this will reach you before Christmas, so that you may then know that I am well and am thinking of you, and wishing I could enjoy the Christmas at home. It is not the same as home here; the oranges would not do wall in the weather of to-day here. We are having our second cold snap of the winter; 42 degrees below zero here this morning. Ten days ago, when I was out on a long walk, it was 32 degrees below. I walked 50 miles on the coldest day over a bad trail; so you see I am still young and active. I am much of the time out on the trail walking, or "mushing" as they say here, over the country in search of mining property. I have already tramped 400 miles or more, over the hills and up different creeks since we came here, and we have secured some ground that we think will pan out well, though we cannot tell much about it for several months yet. I shall keep on go during the winter, and I think by spring we will be fixed all right and have plenty of gold in sight. It has been steadily cold since October 17, no thawing weather. Navigation closed about October 15th, owing to heavy float ice running in the river. The ice stopped running and froze up in a solid mass November 3rd, the same date as last year. We are well prepared to keep warm, even though the temperature goes to 60 or 70 degrees below zero, as we expect it will. I wear silk underwear, then heavy woolen underwear over it, then a woolen overshirt, all of which is covered with wool lined duck, coat and pants, so you see I keep warm; generally wear two pairs of woolen soaks inside of mooskins; ordinary leather boots or shoes are too cold and slippery. Our cabin is on the side back of town, about half a mile from the business part. Prices are from 400 to 800 per cent higher here than in the states. Sugar now sells 2 lb. for $1.00; flour $1.60 — Business firms of this city and neighboring towns who may be in need of job work of any sort, should remember that we are prepared to do the same with neatness and dispatch, and at rates cheaper than the cheapest. Bring on your job work. We will please you as to quality and price. — This week from the first Sunday after Epiphany to the second, is a self-denial week for the Diocese of Los Angeles, the proceeds to be given to the general mission work of the church. The offering next Sunday will be for missions and it is hoped that a large amount may be sent away. — Cards are out for the marriage, in Los Angeles on Sunday the 15th. Of Miss Moina Huntington, the second daughter of L. Z. Huntington of this place, to James E. Robbins of that city. Mr. Huntington and family will go to Los Angeles to attend the wedding. The newly wedded couple will residue in Los Angeles. — The Board of Audit began on Monday morning their work of expertizing books in the water office. The board is composed of Chet Holcomb Alex Wright and George A. Hunter Otto Rust who had been appointed act upon the board is unable to serve owing to the serious illness of his wife. — There was no quorum at the meeting of City Trustees on Tuesday evening, Trustee Schwenckert being only member who dared to brave this storm. The rain was descending lively fashion when he passed by, enveloped in an oil cloth garment, and carrying a lantern. The meeting adjourned for a fortnight until the next regular meeting day. — Charles Baker and C. H. Canfield of Orange were up before Judge We burn in Los Angeles some days ago charged with the crime of leaving life campfires in the San Bernardino mountains last summer while on a camping trip. After explaining to the judge that they took reasonable precautions against the spread of the fire did not leave it burning with malicious intent, they were released on paying fine of $5. — The deed conveying to D.C.L.A., Lord of Los Angeles thirty-nine acres land on Orangethorpe avenue, formerly property of Isaac Lyons, was filed for record last Friday week. The consideration was $30,000, and it took thirty dollars worth of revenue stamps to make it legal—a dollar in stamps for each thousand dollars of the value of the property. — The newly elected officers of this Masonic lodge will be installed a week from Monday night, January 23d. A visiting brothers and members in good standing are cordially invited to attend Past Master Brock of Santa Ana who conduct the ceremonies with Padre Master Greeley as marshal. By order of Worshipful Master elect, W.McFadden. — Charles Federman advertises these greatest cash clearance sale events known in Southern California. He presents in his large advertisement on this second page a list of articles which have been marked down to a discount of 12½ per cent, and the character The story of the iron trade of the year is one of unprecedented expansion. The output of pig iron reached 11,645,000 tons, greater than Great Britain ever reached by 2,800,000 tons. The export trade for the country was nearly double that of the import, and for the first time in the history of the country we exported more manufactured goods than were imported. Add to all this the fact that there were fewer failures with lower liabilities than for some years past, and certainly the trade conditions for the year must have exceeded the expectations of the most sanguine. The opening of the new year notes an improvement in textile manufacturing; the industry which opposed last year the most unfavorable conditions. The situation in fine is one of sustained strength with no indication of any reaction. To turn for a backward glance at our own section, we have faced the driest year that Southern California has experienced for over twenty years. The result has not been the disaster prophesied, due mainly to the work Southern California has been doing in the development of water for irrigation. While some proportion of our community has suffered from the lack of sufficient moisture, a glance at the products of the year complied, reliably shows that in many sections there must have been little or no restriction in production. Climatic conditions made barley and bean growing generally impracticable, and the feature of the year was the clearing off of old stock, which brought necessarily top prices. The citrus crop was the largest ever marketed, estimated value approximating $6,000,000. Fresh deciduous fruit shipments fell below those of '97, but higher prices prevailed. The output of dried fruit was exceptionally light, but the pack of canned fruit was the largest known. The walnut crop was larger than that of the previous year, but the almond crop was considerably shortened. The raisin crop was not up to the average but has been mostly disposed of, together with a carry-over stock of nearly one thousand carloads. The sugar beet crop was much reduced, but the dry year did not prohibit vegetable shipments. It proved the best season for the peat-lands in many a year. A notable shipment of celery was sent forward that brought a return of $750,000. The year has brought disaster to cattlemen and bee-men. Bees at the best have been able to do little more than supply themselves with food, and in many of the apiaries artificial food has had to be supplied. In spite of adverse conditions it is estimated that there were $20,000,000 Prices are from 400 to 800 per cent higher here than in the states. Sugar now sells 2 lbs. for $1.00; flour $16.00 per cwt.; nails 25c per lb.; coal oil $15 per can of 10 gallons; candles 50c per lb; ham and bacon 50c per lb; fresh beef, of which there is a big stock here, retails from 75c to $1.50 per lb; canned vegetables 75c to $1 per can; canned fruits from $1 to $1.50 per can; butter $2 per lb; fresh eggs, frozen, $1 to $2 per dozen. There is a big supply of provisions here and a great variety, but prices keep up. Labor is generally paid $10 per day, though some mine owners are cutting down the rate of pay. Some are paying only $1 an hour; others are giving $5.00 and board per day. The days are very short now, and will be shorter. I lighted a candle at 2:30 p.m. to-day in the office where I am writing in order to see the lines on the paper. The twilights are quite long, it not becoming very dark until 4:30 p.m. We now have only about four hours of sun. Our boat is in good winter quarters on the upper river, near White Horse rapids; two good men are watching and taking care of her. One day while I was out on a long walk I stopped at a cabin on Hunker creek, about 20 miles from town, and found the occupants to be from Westminster, near Anaheim; a Mr. Sharp and his step-daughter, Miss Smith. They told me to call at another cabin, a few miles away on the trail, and see another daughter of Mr. Sharp. I did so and had a short but pleasant visit with Mrs. Phiscator, who formerly lived at Fullerton, and also has been at Anaheim. I have not had a word from you since I left St. Michael. I know you have written to me, probably at Nulato and St. Michael. I hope to hear from you in the course of a mouth or so. The government officials will try to send out mail over the ice once a month or oftener, and if they are able to maintain a service, I shall hope to hear from you several times during the winter. I must close my letter, and in doing so I send you a son's best love and wishes for a merry Xmas, and may God bless and care for you till I come back to you. Your loving son, CHARLIE. The newly elected officers of the Masonic lodge will be installed a week from Monday night, January 23d. A visiting brothers and members in good standing are cordially invited to attend Past Master Brock of Santa Ana who conduct the ceremonies, with Paste Master Greeley as marshal. By order of Worshipful Master elect, W. McFadden. Charles Federman advertises that greatest cash clearance sale even known in Southern California.

The precipitate up to 4:20 on Tuesday afternoon is 1.09 inches, and .74 of an inch felt the night. The total for the season is 2.72 inches. Last year to date we收获 2.49 inches, with the better part of rain falling in the preceding October doing little if any good. The rain put the farmers in jubilant spirits on all sides hopes are expressed for bountiful harvest. The sixth annual meeting of Home Mutual Building and Loan association of Santa Ana was held in town on Monday evening. A roll of the 1632-1-2 shares of stock in association was responded to by 822 shares.

Judge Ballard denied the motion, whereupon Everett filed a demurrer to the indictment. Merritt was taken back to jail. Hearing of the demurrer comes up in the Superior Court tomorrow, the 13th. Frank Stone has been engaged, with Carpenters Scott and McWilliams, in the erection of a residence for a lady who has lately purchased a tract of land at Westminster. They were engaged upon the building all of last week, and will be occupied with it the whole of this week. Frank says that one day last week he saw about five million crows in a forty-acre field at Westminster; to employ his own words, the air was just lousy with them; he never saw so many crows in his life. One time back in Pennsylvania he saw a flock of wild pigeons that obscured the sun two hours in passing; and in one tree in the pigeon roost he found 300 nests. Baron Munchausen blinds his diminished head when Frank's around and feels like telling stories. The local council of the Fraternal Aid Association will install newly elected officers at their regular meeting tomorrow evening: Henry Kuchel, Past President; T. A.

Alderman, a well-known and highly respected resident of Tustin, dropped dead at the Southern Pacific depot in that town on Wednesday evening of last week, while engaged in conversation with T. Vestel, who was sitting with him on a pile of lumber on the depot platform. The remains were taken to Santa Ana where a coroner's inquest was held on Thursday morning by Coroner Clark. Mr. Alderman had been engaged at the packing house for some time past until quite recently, and was in apparent good health. Suddenly, without any warning, he partly raised up and pitched for ward head first heavily off the platform. Death was instantaneous, as beyond a slight convulsive movement of the body, no sign of life was apparent when the body was examined immediately after. Doctor was summoned, but Alderman must have been dead when he struck the ground in falling. The coroner's jury rendered a verdict of death from natural causes. The deceased leaves a wife and two children. —S. Elliott has perfected a model of a gold rocker which he claims will save 95 percent of float or flower gold. The dimensions of the rocker are 4 feet in the clear in length, and 18 inches on the sides and bottom. The gold-bearing dirt is placed in the riddle inside the rocker, which is made of stove pipe steel 18x20 inches, punctured at the bottom with inch holes. The rocker is rocked, when the washed dirt falls from the riddle upon the corrugated bottom below. Here quicksilver is placed in rifles; water is applied sufficiently to wash the dirt; the rocker is tipped and the gold and amalgam sets under the apron at the end of the rocker. A blanket is attached to the upper surface of the apron, which catches the floating gold. This floating gold is the finest gold, being virgin and pure, and worth $22 per ounce. Mr. Elliott contemplates leaving next month for Santa Clara county, where he has taken up a coal claim, and will later on go to Trinity county, where he has a gold claim. —The Sisters of St. Dominic are making extensive improvements at the Academy in the way of putting in a six-inch sewer, the construction of cement toilets and the erection of a new laundry. The increased number of orphans at the Academy (there being 165 boys at present in the institution) has rendered necessary the purchase of three additional acres, which gives the Sisters six acres in the entire tract. This new acquisition has been fenced in with a high board fence; one arch will be devoted to the enlargement of the orchard, and the other two will be equally divided as playgrounds for the large and small boys. The old outbuildings are being removed, and a new system of sewerage will conduce to the sanitation of the place. The sewage will be conducted into a large vault situated in the orchard well away from the school buildings and will be pumped as fertilizer upon the trees and plants. The improvements have already necessitated a considerable expense, but the Sister Superior informs us she has in connection with President; Mrs. Seale, Vice President; F. S. Gates, Secretary; H. Cahen, Treasurer; Miss Fanny Seale, Guide; Mrs. Spencer, Chaplain; Miss Louise Schumacher, Sentinel; Charley Bauer, Observer; J. L. Schumacher, Trustee. After the installation the ladies of the council will serve supper in the anterooms. The Fraternal Aid ladies set the finest supper in the land, and a full attendance of members will probably present to participate in the feast. —D. L. Alderman, a well-known and highly respected resident of Tustin, dropped dead at the Southern Pacific depot in that town on Wednesday evening of last week, while engaged in conversation with T. Vestel, who was sitting with him on a pile of lumber on the depot platform. The remains were taken to Santa Ana where a coroner's inquest was held on Thursday morning by Coroner Clark. Mr. Aldeman had been engaged at the packing house for some time past until quite recently, and was in apparent good health. Suddenly, without any warning, he partly raised up and pitched forward head first heavily off the platform. Death was instantaneous, as beyond a slight convulsive movement of the body, no sign of life was apparent when the body was examined immediately after. doctor was summoned, but Alderman must have been dead when he struck the ground in falling. The coroner's jury rendered a verdict of death from natural causes. The deceased leaves a wife and two children. —S. Elliott has perfected a model of a gold rocker which he claims will save 95 percent of float or flower Gold.The dimensions of the rocker are 4 feet in clear in length,and 18 inches onthe sides and bottom.The gold-bearing dirt is placed in riddle insidethe rockerwhich is madeof stovepipe steel 18x20 inches,puncturedatthebottomwithinholeThe rockerisrockedwhenthewasheddirtfallsfromtheriddleupothecorrugatedbottombelow.Herequicksilverisplacedinrifles;waterisappliedsufficienttowashdirt;therockersippedandthegoldandamalgamsetlesunderdheapatrendatetheendoftherocker.AblanketisattachedtotheuppersurfaceoftheapronwhichcatchesthefloatinggoldThisfloatinggoldisthefinestgoldbeingvirginandpure,andworth$22perounce.Mr.ElliottcontemplatesleavingnextmonthforSantaClaracountywherehehastakenupacoalclaim,andwilllaterongo.toTrinitycountywherehehasaGoldclaim. —The Sisters of St.Dominic are making extensive improvements attheAcademyinthewayofputtinginasix-inchsewer,theconstructionofcedenttoiletthesandstheerectionofanewlaudry.TheincreasednumberoforphansattheAcademy(therebeing165boysatpresentintheinstitution)hasrenderednecessarythepurchaseofthreeadditionalacreswhichgivestheSisterssixacresintheentiretractThisnewacquisitionhasbeenfencedinwithahighboardfence;onearchwillbedevotedtotheenlargementoftheorchard,andtheothertwowillbeequalilydividedasplaygroundsfordelargeandsmallboys.Theoldoutbuildingsarebeingremoved,andanewsystemofseweragewillconducetocontainationoftheplace.Thesewagewillbeconductedintoalargevaultsituatedintheorchardwellawayfromtheschoolbuildingsandwillbepumpedasfertilizeruponthetreesandplants.Theimprovementshavealreadynecessitatedaconsiderableexpense,bbuttheSisterSuperiorinfomusshehasinconnectionwithPresident;Mrs.Seaile,VicePresident;F.S.GatesSecretary;H.Cahen,Treasurer;MissFannySeale,Guide;Mrs.SpencerChaplain;MissLouiseSchumacher,Sentinel;CharleyBauerObserver;J.L.SchumacherTrustee.

Dr. John Warner, an old and highly respected citizen of Garden Grove, died at his residence at that place on Saturday last, in the seventy-seventh year of his age. He was a native of New York and had lived at Garden Grove for some sixteen years. Previous to an attack of paralysis which overcame him some years ago, he was quite a familiar figure upon our streets, being a man of public spirit, and at one time taking quite an active interest in the co-operative beet factory movement. Since suffering the stroke of paralysis he had remained at home, bearing his sufferings with Christain fortitude. His death will be regretted by his many friends. The funeral services were held on Monday, when the residence was filled with friends of the deceased, who came from far and near to pay their last respects to the deceased. The interment was in the Anaheim cemetery, the remains being followed to their last resting place by many sorrowing friends. Dr. Warner was born in Otsego Co., N.Y., in 1822. He went South when young and lived there until the war, when having business interests in Chicago, he went north and located in Leavenworth, Kansas, in which place he was in business for several years. He came to California from Leavenworth and practiced his profession of dentistry for several years in Oakland. He finally came to Garden Grove 17 years ago, where he has lived ever since. He was married in Irvine Estill county, Ky., to Harriet A. Wilber, who still survives him. He was a devoted husband, a good citizen, and an honest man; a gentleman in the true sense of the term. Card of Thanks. To the many friends who rendered kind services during our bereavement, consequent upon the recent death of our beloved sons, we most respectfully return our heartfelt thanks. MR.
