IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Cent Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic Histo of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County (Copyright Applied for) 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, JULY 22, 1876 The Literary Society on Monday evening decided beyond a doubt that the judiciary should be elected and not appointed, and for their next meeting brought up the following: Resolved, That savage nations possess a right to the soil. The affirmative will be sustained by Messrs. F. M. Cahill, Theodore Lynill, E. F. Cahill and W. H. Henderson; the negative by Mesrs. F. B. Toombs, Victor Montgomery, J. M. Guinn and F. W. Athearn. Declamations will be given by F. E. Mielenz, J. S. Roberts and A. S. Benton. The meetings of the society will be held in the hall of the new bank building. Dr. George H. Bailey, we are glad to learn, has permanently located here.

Silver has returned from Arizona and was in Los Angeles yesterday. Mr. D. K. Williams had the misfortune to break his arm yesterday afternoon. He was endeavoring to adjust some machinery at the planing mill at A. Guy Smith & Company's lumber yard, when the belt caught his arm and, carrying it onto the wheel, caused a compound fracture. He was immediately taken to Dr. James Ellis, who promptly set the bones and did everything to render his patient comfortable. A ball was given at the schoolhouse in San Juan Capistrano on Sunday night, the occasion being the anniversary of the birthday of Mrs. Mendelson, the worthy wife of the postmaster. About forty couples were in attendance, and much enjoyment was had. The paper hangers were at work yesterday, fixing up the store on Center street formerly occupied by H. D. Polhemus. Mr. Beebe will remove his stock there as soon as it is finished. At the annual meeting of stockholders of the Farmers and Merchants Bank of Los Angeles, held on Wednesday night, the following named gentlemen were elected directors for the ensuing year: Isaias W. Hellman, O. W. Childs, John S. Griffin, C. D. Ducommun, John G. Downey, L. C. Goodwin, C. E. Thorn, Jose Mascarel, Frank Lecouvreur. At the subsequent meeting of the board of directors, I. W. Hellman was elected president of the bank and Frank Lecouvreur cashier. The election of Republican delegates to the Los Angeles county convention was held yesterday. Forty-seven votes were cast: J. M. Guinn, 46; W. R. Olden, 45; George C. Knox, 44; D. Edwin Miles, 46; James Viles, 33; 18 votes scattering. The bank building will be ready for its occupants by the first of August. A sidewalk will be laid in front of the building some time during the present week. Dr. Russel of Los Angeles is in town today, endeavoring to organize a lodge of Knights of Pythias in this place. It is rumored in Los Angeles that Lucky Baldwin has fallen the financial prey of Flood & O'Brien. They are building a very pretty parsonage at San Gabriel for the incumbent of the Episcopal church there. It is a Gothic-shaped cottage, 40x24. The schooner Pioneer will hereafter make regular trips from Wilmington to Catalina island and return during the summer. Messrs. F.

Alexander Bailey, Esq., filed his bonds yesterday in Los Angeles as justice of the peace for Anaheim township. The Centennial entertainment at Kroeger's hall on Thursday evening attracted quite a number from all sections. Orange, Tustin and Westminster lent their talent to make it a success, and we believe the managers of the affair are quite satisfied. The portrait gallery by the Westminster Qui Vive was novel and interesting. The singing was excellent, and the recitations by Misses Lockhart and Harris and Mr. Wright were listened to with great pleasure by the audience. Ed Mataer is rusticating at Los Robles canyon and is recovering his health. Col. E. J. C. Kewen is prostrated by a paralytic stroke. Leonard Parker has just completed a brick drying establishment for the purpose of drying grapes. The dried grapes exhibited last year by Mr. Parker were equal to any we have ever seen. A horse race is to take place on the Coyote Rancho, in about two weeks, for $100 a side. Mr. J. C. Edwards of Westminster has just finished an artesian well on the upper part of his farm, securing one and one-quarter inch flow of excellent water at the depth of 137 feet. Rev. Mr. Allis returned on the train last evening, looking well and hearty. His many friends in Anaheim will be glad to welcome him. R. E. Hewitt, formerly of Santa Clara, has been engaged to take charge of the Santa Ana school. Although contractor McKinnie has until the first of September to complete the Episcopal church, it will probably be finished much sooner. We judge so from the rapid progress heretofore made. S OF LONG AGO Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, JULY 25, 1901 Word has just been received by friends in Anaheim from Madame Modjeska, who is spending a few weeks with her sister-in-law on her estate near Posen. She told of the welcome accorded her in her native country after so long an absence. She will visit Lomberg again soon and will appear in a one-act play, the receipts from the performance to go toward the erection of a monument to Michiewicz, Poland's greatest poet. She also refers to her visit to Padereswski and Czinkiewicz, two of her best friends. The latter, who is the author of "Quo Vadis," etc., has promised to write her a new play. She will remain in Kissengen until August 14, on which date she will sail on the Kaiser Wilhelm for New York. Madame writes glowingly of her health and strength and is all absorbed in the plans now being made for her next season's tour. The Odd Fellows of this district held a pleasant meeting in this city Tuesday evening of last week. The occasion was the fiftieth anniversary of the initiation of E. W. Champlin as an Odd Fellow, and members of the order from all over the district gathered to do him honor. Installation of officers of the Anaheim lodge was held the same evening. Mr. Champlin is 73 years old and is a charter member of Anaheim lodge, which was established in 1872. He joined the order in New York, and for fifty years has been a member in good standing. In honor of his long and useful career in the order the Odd Fellows presented him with an elegant easy chair, a receipt for five years' dues in the lodge and Brilliant Speakers At Lions' Meeting Three Prominent Men on the Program for Addresses Among the brilliant speakers who will address the six-day convention of the International Association of Lions Clubs at the San Francisco auditorium, beginning on Monday, will be three men of international prominence in their special lines. Harry F. Atwood of Chicago will speak on "The Constitution of the United States." Mr. Atwood is the author of a number of books on that subject and is an outstanding authority on the history and the interpretation of that document sacred to every true American. Mr. Atwood is careful to point out to his audience that the United States is not, and never can be, either a monarchy or a democracy; that they are equally fatal to the liberties of the people, the one becoming a tyranny and the other degenerating into mob rule. The republic, he holds, is the golden mean between the two extremes, in which the people choose representatives to govern them. The second of this gifted trio to address the convention will be C. O. Robinson of New York City. He is at the NOTICE OF ASSESSMENT Pacific Mausoleum Company, principal place of business, 211 West Charlottes Street, Anaheim, California. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that at a meeting of the directors of this corporation, held on the 10th day of June, 1926, an assessment of ten cents (10c) per share was levied upon the capital stock of this corporation, payable immediately to R. E. Nebelung, Secretary of said corporation, at 211 West Charlottes Street, in the City of Anaheim, Orange County, California. Any stock upon which this assessment shall remain unpaid on the 20th day of July, 1926, will be delinquent, and advertised for sale at public auction, and unless payment is made before, will be The Odd Fellows of this district held a pleasant meeting in this city Tuesday evening of last week.

Mr. Champlin came to Anaheim in 1869, and is a worthy and highly respected member of the community. District Attorney R. Y. Williams was in town yesterday, visiting with old friends. He is said to be getting up his fences good and strong for renomination to the office next year. Frank Ey drove through the oil region on Tuesday, returning by way of this city. He owns an interest in the Menges oil well in Brea canyon, which produces 85 barrels per day. He was accompanied by his son, Frank, who is home on a leave of absence from his position as military clerk in General Shafter's headquarters office in San Francisco. Harold Brewer, who has been visiting his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Gilman of Placentia, has returned to Redondo, accompanied by Miss Helen Gilman, who will visit several days at that seaside resort. Herman Stern has had a badly sprained ankle for some days past, due to a fall sustained at Laguna Beach. C. O. Rust and wife visited Pike's Peak and other points of interest in Colorado on their way home from the Pan-American exposition. They are expected to reach Anaheim in a few days. Mrs. Brown of Redding, Shasta county, sister of Mrs. L. F. Lewis, has been in town during the week, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lewis. Fritz Ruhman, John P. Zeyn and William Fischer departed yesterday for a two weeks' pasear in San Francisco. Billy Hale was a visitor in town from Placentia on Saturday. Mrs. Sallie Scott of Long Beach visited in town during the week, the guest of Mrs. Cahen. Supervisor Potter and S. O. Walker of Buena Park were in town on Saturday to ride the Masonic goat. Col. R. J. Northam was married in San Jose on Tuesday to Mrs. Leolia Keyll Storey of Los Angeles. Henry Albrecht has secured the contract to build a two-story addition to Mr. Zeller's residence on Broadway. R. H. Norton of the Santa Ana Standard, having amassed a large fortune in running that newspaper, has disposed of the property to R. O. Shively and will retire from business. A marriage license was on Monday issued by County Clerk Street, Anaheim, California.

H. Norton of the Santa Ana Standard, having amassed a large fortune in running that newspaper, has disposed of the property to R. O. Shively and will retire from business. A marriage license was on Monday issued by County Clerk Beckett to Charles McMillin of Los Angeles and Miss Josephine Bennerscheidt of this city. Charley Bauer, while shoeing a horse on Tuesday morning, had the misfortune to have the animal fall upon him, narrowly escaping what might have been fatal injury. He was seriously injured and had to be carried home, where he is laid up with a badly sprained foot and other injuries. Rud Bentz has been confined to his home for some weeks past with typhoid fever. It is hoped that his strong constitution will be able to withstand the attack and that he will soon be on the way to recovery. Two carloads of beets of 30 tons each were shipped to the Chino sugar factory on Tuesday, marking the first shipment of the season. The shipping season is on in earnest, and Senator Jones has instructions to ship 500 tons per day. Beet farmers are engaged in the largest beet harvest in the history of the county. Alex Wright was in town the other day, talking to a party of friends, on the sidewalk, about birthdays and other things. "My birthday comes on July 22," said Alex, in answer to an interrogation concerning it. Funny thing happened the other day. I was talking to Frank Porter and he says, 'Wright, you're getting gray. How old are you?' Born in '46 I told him. 'Same here,' he says. Come to find out his birthday comes the same day as mine and him and me is twins. "I have known Porter thirty years. I was just out from Concord and was putting in a crop of barley north of the old Bremerman place, when Porter came along and told me how to sow it, but he said I would never raise a crop on that land. But I did. The late rains came just right, and some of it went four tons to the acre. That was thirty years ago, and there has never been a crop raised on the place since." Speakers at Meeting Men on the Addresses speakers who may convention of relation of Lions in fiscal auditorium, will be three men in sequence in their head of the work of the Y. M. C. A. among boys here, and is an authority on the handling of juvenile problems. Out of the depths of his experience among the boys of a great city, he will speak on "The Boy of Today and His Problems." The last of the three will devote himself to the ethics of Lionism and their relation to the vocations of men. He is Dr. Henry Mace Payne of Washington, D. C., and his subject will be "The Foundation of Business." While the entire work of the convention will be devoted to the purposes of Lionism, which may be summed up as "Building Better Citizens," through the proper training of youth, these three speakers will deal directly with three vital phases of that problem. George Olvany, leader of Tammany Hall, returning from a Pacific coast trip, says the West is all for Al Smith. What's he trying to do, make us believe the farmers are really desperate? The trouble in Syria is getting to be a regular war now, as each side has begun to accuse the other of atrocities.
