THE HERO OF THREE WARS JOSEPH DUBBEL EARNS MEDALS ON FIELD OF BATTLE. Duppef, Koniggratz, Gravelotte, Strassburg, Metz, Sedan—Special Medal of Honor. "God was with us; To Him shall be the honor." Inscribed upon medals molded from canon captured by the valorous Prussian army from the enemy on the field of battle, are these words that lift the heart and bow the head of Joseph Dubbel, Prussian soldier, hero of three wars: "God was with us; to Him shall be the honor." Mr. Dubbel has been a man of peace for lo! these many years. He is now in the army of the Lord, and stands watch and guard over the bells which chime in the tower high over the church of St. Boniface. Being a man of peace, it is not so easy to get him to talk about war—least of all, those wars in which he himself participated. Yet in an unguarded moment he ventured the statement that he had four medals—not boasting of them, but appearing in reminiscent mood, with a far-off gleam in the eye, as if he were living again for an instant in those days of war's alarums. Would he kindly permit one to look upon these medals? That was different. He himself had not seen them in ten years, and he must look them up to see what had become of them. Finally the interviewer was permitted to look upon them, and herein narrates briefly what they represent and for what purpose issued. In 1864 Joseph Dubbel marched with the Prussian army across Schleswig-Holstein to Denmark, in the war between Prussia and that country. The war began in January, 1864, and closed with the battle of Dunnel April 18th in his fatherly way, waving them aside: "Go on, go on; don't mind me." As he was about to pass on, his eye caught the silver medal worn by the sergeant—the medal given for distinguished bravery at Königratz. Taking it in hand he asked. "Where did you get this?" He was given the desired information, when he complimented its wearer, and shook hands with both. Mr. Dubbel, singularly enough, was never wounded in battle, but once narrowly escaped a bad wound. A shot tore away the rear buttons of his coat. However he contracted rheumatism while in the service, and from this he has not recovered to this day. Mr. Dubbel has lived in this country many years. He is sexton of St. Boniface church, and as he sounds the chimes in the tower, perchance his memory goes occasionally back to those strenuous times on the battlefield, and perhaps even now, as then, according to the wording of his medals, God is with him, and to Him shall be the honor. First Presbyterian Church The First Presbyterian church of this city will be formally dedicated the ensuing Sabbath. Work upon the structure has been in progress during several months. The building is handsome architecturally, interior and exterior finish being of creditable design and substantial character. To the pastor, Rev. Wm. Hyde Chapman, great credit is due for the work of erecting this handsome new edifice. The dedicatory exercises will be as follows: SABBATH MORNING "Serve the Lord with gladness: Come before His presence with singing." 10:00. Sunday school. 11:00.

DEDICATION EXERCISES Reading I Kings, VIII:22-30 and IX:1-3; Psalm XXIV read in unison by congregation; dedicatory prayer by pastor; hymn 984; benediction. SABBATH EVENING "Enter into His gates with thanksgiving And into His courts with praise." Would he kindly permit one to look upon these medals? That was different. He himself had not seen them in ten years, and he must look them up to see what had become of them. Finally the interviewer was permitted to look upon them, and herein narrates briefly what they represent and for what purpose issued. In 1864 Joseph Dubbel marched with the Prussian army across Schleswig-Holstein to Denmark, in the war between Prussia and that country. The war began in January, 1864, and closed with the battle of Duppel, April 18th of that year. For services rendered in this war Mr. bel was presented with a badge inscribed "F. W. IV" (Frederick William the 4th), indicative of good service. With Prussia, fighting against Denmark, was Austria, war having been declared over Schleswig-Holstein. The two victorious nations enjoyed a brief peace of two years, when in 1866, unable to agree upon the disposal of the captured province, Prussia and Austria went to war. Other German states sided with Austria, among them Saxony, Bavaria, Wurtenburg, Baden, Hessen, Hannover. Yet the war was short, sharp and decisive. Beginning May 5th, it ended July 3d, 1866, with the battle of Koniggratz. For services in this war Mr. Dubbel was presented with a medal of honor bearing the words at the top, "Koniggratz, July 3d, 1866." In the center is the Prussian eagle, surrounded with a laurel wreath; and the words: "God was with us; To Him shall be the honor." Upon the reverse side are the letters "W. R. Rex, of Prussia," and "The conquering Prussian army." The medal is cast from cannon captured from Napoleon at Waterloo. Mr. Dubbel was also presented with a silver medal indicative of especial bravery during the battle. The medal bears a Prussian crown above the letters "W. R." and laurel wreath, and on the reverse side the words, "Earned in War." Mr. Dubbel rose to command of his company at Koniggratz. The company's officers were all killed, and he being first sergeant, immediately took command. There was hard hand-to-hand fighting between the armies, but Mr. Dubbel's company captured 87 Austrian prisoners. During the night the Austrians endeavored to retake their men, but while there was sharp fighting the Prussians held their ground, the company being in the front ranks. The Prussians had their cannon trained upon the city of Vienna, and could see with the naked eye the spires and steeple of that city's churches. Then came peace, and for the second time Prussia had triumphed. When the war was over and the troops returned to their homes, the general who presented the silver medal to Mr. Dubbel observed: "I am jealous of you." "Why so, sir?" asked the sergeant. "Because I must give you this medal, whereas I want it myself." At Koniggratz the Austrian general read Reading I Kings, VIII:22-30 and IX:1-3; Psalm XXIV read in unison by congregation; dedicatory prayer by pastor; hymn 984; benediction. SABBATH EVENING "Enter into His gates with thanksgiving And Into His courts with praise." UNION SERVICES 6:30. Y. P. S. C. E. Topic: Helping one another. Rom XV:1-7. 7:30. Preaching, scripture reading by Rev. B. A. Johnson, pastor of Methodist church; anthem, prayer Rev. A. B.

Then came peace, and for the second time Prussia had triumphed. When the war was over and the troops returned to their homes, the general who presented the silver medal to Mr. Dubbel observed: "I am jealous of you." "Why so, sir?" asked the sergeant. "Because I must give you this medal, whereas I want it myself." At König gratz the Austrian general Schultz was killed. According to the rules of war the gold braid was cut from his uniform, and pieces presented to officers honored for conspicuous service. Mr. Dubbel has a piece of this braid, along with its proper attestation. The dead general was later on buried with full military honors. Prussia enjoyed four years of peace when in July, 1870, the Fatherland again took up arms, and gave the world that matchless mobilization of troops which it has never seen equaled. Napoleon set out from Paris to wage war upon German soil, but before he reached the front 400,000 Germans had crossed the Rhine. The Prussians were again in the vanguard, and our young sergeant participated in the first battle, at Spelchernn by Saarbruck. Then came, in quick succession, Grave lotte, Strassburg, Metz, Sedan. At Sedan Napoleon and MacMahon were taken prisoners. For services in this war our fellow-townsman was presented with the Iron Cross, which is moulded out of cannon captured in the same war. It is in the form of a Maltese cross, and there is the laurel wreath and sunburst; and on the reverse, the words: "God was with us; To Him shall be the honor." One day in Berlin Sergeant Dubbel was walking along the streets with another soldier, when they espied Von Moltke approaching. Now Moltke, great as he was in war, was extremely retiring in peace and stood for very little ceremony. "Here comes Moltke," said the sergeant's companion, "we must salute him properly." When the great general approached the two saluted, when the old man said appearance as could be desired by the most exacting critic.

Foreign Walnut Crops Report of Frank Dyerchester, Buda pest, August 23, 1904: Crop for 1904 in Hungary, Austria and Bosnia-Hertzegovina will be a little better than a middle crop. The nuts will be small and dry-meated, on account of the drought. Low prices will prevail, say about 12 to 18 crowns ($2.43 to $3.65) per 50 kilos (110 pounds) "ab station." An average addition to the net price of 1½ crowns (30 cents) must be made for getting the walnuts to Budapest. Freight varies from Budapest to New York according to the rates fixed by the steamship lines. A Budapest firm quotes walnuts for October or November delivery, cif. New York, at 21 and 22 crowns ($4.26 and $4.46) per kilos (110 pounds). Report of Alblon W. Tourgee, consul, Bordeaux, August 25, 1904. Crop will be normal, and if September should be wet nuts will ripen badly and not dry well after being harvested. As there are no nuts yet in the market, prices are speculative. The ladies of the Catholic church gave a very enjoyable card social at Back's hall Thursday evening. There was a large attendance, and the play was spirited. Mrs. A. O. Luer won the first ladies prize and Miss Gertle Pratt the second. Judge Shanley, C. F. Grim and Joe Backs, Jr., tied for the first gentleman's prize, Judge Shanley winning the cut. W. B. Hutchinson took the second prize and Otto Baum the booby. Bolsa School Muddle Judge West in the superior court on Saturday, after a lengthy court session granted the injunction as prayed for restraining the trustees of the Las Bolsas Union high school district from continuing school sessions at Los Alamitos and directing them to find other and more suitable quarters. The decision holds that although suitable apartments are offered in the Los Alamitos school, the location is such from its position in the extreme western edge of the district, that children from the greater part of the district cannot attend, this fact being proven by the statement of Edward Solomon, principal of the institution, who testified that for the first week the attendance was one pupil and for the second week two as a pupel with an average daily attendance of thirty for last year when sessions were held at Bolsa. Judge West in his decision refused to make any choice for the location of the school, holding that this is entirely without his jurisdiction and can be settled only by the trustees. It is expected, however, that the board will now decide to revert to the Bolsa school house. At 3 minutes of 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon a slight shock of earthquake was felt in this city. Good shirts of the latest styles are being sold for 50c by Yungbluth Kroeger.

Conductor Chesbro earned the gratitude of many hundred passengers Saturday by hiking his train through Santa Ana in time for the circus back home again on time after she was over. On the way home a collision of youngsters riding on the platform pulled the bell-cord, and when the signal was not properly given engineer slowed down to see what doing. Chesbro ran through the track to learn the cause of the trouble, said that some of these frisky youngsters would go to the circus again day and never come back.

Standard Oil Two carloads of lumber have been delivered for the Standard Oil Company on its lot on Santa Ana street east of the Santa Fe. Extensive warehouses are in course of erection, and large oil tanks will be constructed. Entrance of Standard Oil into this territory has caused considerable comment, but the chief reason for Mr. Rockefeller's coming to town seems to be that he sees a good field here for the sale of all kinds of oil, the hundreds of pumping plants themselves being large consumers. THROUGH SCHOOL GROUNDS Trustees of the Garden Grove school district met on Monday evening and adopted a resolution disposing, for a consideration of $1, to the Huntington electric railway, a right of way diagonally through the school grounds at that point.

It didn't blow and it didn't rain—very much; but a few drops fell in the morning, and the weather threatened during the day.
