IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic History of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County. (Copyright Applied for) 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1876 We are indebted to T. S. Grimshaw, secretary, for the following synopsis of the proceedings of the Literary Society at the meeting on Monday night. After the usual routine of business, the committee appointed at a previous meeting to arrange for an entertainment reported that they had decided to give a social musical and literary entertainment on the evening of Friday, November 10. Three dozen chairs were reported to have been purchased for the use of the society's room. The question: "Resolved, That a single life is more conducive to happiness than a married state," was then argued by Theodore Lynill in the affirmative, and M. A. Mendelson in the negative, with their several assistants, and a decision was given in favor of the negative. The question for debate on next Monday night is: "Resolved, That the pulpit affords a better field for the display of eloquence than the bar." The affirmative will be sustained by Victor Montgomery, T. W. Cook and W. Forth, and the negative by W. H. Henderson, Fred Rimpau and Mr. Anderson. Declarations will be given by H. Blankin, D. E. Miles and T. S. Grimshaw. Notwithstanding the short notice given, the attendance at the Democratic meeting last night was as large as at any previous meeting. Judge King and Stephen M. White delivered fine addresses, the latter gentleman showing that his oratorical powers had sensibly improved since last his Anaheim friends had the pleasure of hearing him. Mr. Bagge also delivered a fine humorous address, replete with telling points. We must not forget to mention the fact that Theodore Lynill addressed the assemblage. This gentleman is a witty, logical and ready speaker, and thanks Victor Montgomery, T. W. Cook and W. Forth, and the negative by W. H. Henderson, Fred Rimpau and Mr. Anderson. Declamations will be given by H. Blankin, D. E. Miles and T. S. Grimshaw.

Mr. Bagge also delivered a fine humorous address, replete with telling points. We must not forget to mention the fact that Theodore Lynill adressed the assemblage. This gentleman is a witty, logical and ready speaker, and, thanks to the training he has acquired at the Literary Society, of which he is a shining light, has improved wonderfully in delivery since the last campaign. The board of supervisors have established the following election precincts: Anaheim—at office of water company. Inspector, John Fischer; judges, David Every, Theodore Rimpau, San Juan Capistrano—at schoolhouse. Inspector, J. E. Bacon; judges, A. P. Fuller and Richard Egan. Santa Ana—At schoolhouse. Inspector, Tillman Bush; judges, Prudencia Yorba, Mr. Hazen. San Joaquin—at house of Matt Sims. Inspector, James McFadden; judges, E. Tedford and G. W.-Vance. Orange—at hotel. Inspector, P. Bowers; judges, Dr. Beach and R. B. Warren. Westminster—at schoolhouse. Inspector, M. B. Craig; judges, James McD. Moffitt and Con Howe. Fountain Valley—at schoolhouse in Millard's. Inspector, George M. Holliday; judges, James Eddington and Levi Kidwell. Norwalk—at Norwalk Station. Inspector, W. H. Wiley; judges, John Barber and Willis Newton. Tustin—at schoolhouse. Inspector, G. W. Freeman; judges, P. Potts and J. J. Johnson. We learn that Mr. Crowther has closed, or will soon close his blacksmith and wagon shop. The lumber, of which he has a fine well seasoned stock, was bought yesterday by T. S. Grimshaw. Mr. Crowther contemplates a visit to England. The blacksmith shop on Los Angeles street has also changed hands, our old friend, H. A. Stough, having bought out Mr. Little. The latter has purchased a small farm in Garden Grove, which he proposes to cultivate—beat the sledge hammer into a pruning hook, as it were. Instances of wonderful growths are so plentiful in this county that a mention of such phenomena fails to attract the attention it would otherwise receive. But if our friends in other states could be made to believe that orange trees two years old have been known to bear fruit, they would have a better opinion of this country and of the veracity of the people therein, who always render themselves objects of suspicion when attempting to entertain a down-easter with stories of this prolific country. Yet it is a fact that George Bauer has a two-year-old orange tree in his garden upon which are two well formed oranges, and there is no reason why the golden fruit should not mature and ripen. The flocks of wild geese that have begun to fly coastward is a reminder that winter is not far distant. Mr. and Mrs. Chapin, who went from here to Arkansas, about three months ago, have returned. As a souvenir of their visit they each brought back with them a severe case of the dumb ague. John Taylor and Mrs. Dr. Taylor, who accompanied them, are expected to arrive in a day or two, having discovered no better locality than Anaheim.

The Tyrolese company, which performed in Kroeger's hall some weeks ago, will give a similar entertainment at Tivoli Gardens on Sunday. R. B. Haines, superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph Company, was in town last night. Don Marcos Forster was also in from Las Flores. Mr. Scholl, who has for some time very creditably filled the position of operator in the office of the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Company, has been succeeded by Harry Hanna. The lady members of St. Michael's Episcopal church have already begun to make preparations for a festival which they propose to give next Christmas. G. D. Plato will leave for San Francisco this morning. He will return in a couple of weeks: A dividend notice is very pleasant reading these hard times. Such a one will be found in our advertising columns this morning. The Odd Fellows' Hall Building Association is the lucky corpora-which has a surplus in its treasury. The schooner Bobolink arrived at San Pedro on Thursday with 200,000 feet of lumber for A. Guy Smith & Company. On her return trip to Oregon she will carry 700 sacks of ground feed from the Anaheim grist mill. George Hull, agent of the Anaheim Lighter Company, tells us that the freight movement is quite lively just now. Grain is coming in abundantly. 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, OCTOBER 17, 1901 HIS HONOR—JOE HELMSEN Our caricaturist makes a pencil sketch of him at a session of the burgomeisters. At the meeting of the City Fathers on Tuesday evening, Dr. Johnston and Herman Stern appeared before that honorable body to ask for a reduced rate for water to be offered the projectors of the sanitarium. As Stern arose to address the board in that impressive manner characteristic of him, Trustee Fay exclaimed: "I move we adjourn!" Fay had on his military uniform and was anxious to get to Santa Ana to attend a courtmartial, which was to be followed by a hop. It was getting late—it was nearing 9 o'clock. Trustee Weisel said: "I second the motion!" Mayor Helmsen did not know what it was all about (neither did Stern), and looked up with that surprised glance which our artist has so excellently depicted. [ Sketch ] The culprit is Dr. Johnston. He it was who drew the picture. Never knew that the doctor came near forsaking medicine to be a cartoonist? Fact. Fay withdrew his motion, amid laughter, saying it was all a joke on Stern, and his honor relapsed into his usual composure. Then later in the evening, while Dr. Johnston addressed the board, Stern executed a pencil sketch of his honor. Why do we not publish Stern's sketch along with the doctor's? The reason is plain. Helmsen would sue us for libel and, then we have a tender regard for the sensibilities of our readers. We are thinking of employing both gentlemen as artists, at a large salary, and have them wreak vengeance upon the other inoffensive members of WELL, HERE IT IS—BOBBING UP AGAIN! The Old $500,000,000 Water and (Political) Power Act It was defeated in California by 353, 849 votes in November, 1922. It was defeated in California by 431,602 votes in November, 1924. Let's get it out of the way forever by voting "No" in November, 1926. Because— It provides for mortgaging California for $500,000,000. A board of five, not subject to the recall, can spend the entire sum. The board is not required to deposit this money in the state treasury. All or any part of the $500, 000,000 may be spent outside of our state. The board can engage in any class of business it desires. The Boulder canyon dam project will be very seriously hurt if the water and power act carries. Vote "No" again in November, 1926. CHOLERA WORST IN FALL Hog cholera destroys about 80 per cent of all hogs dying from disease in the United States. No specific cure for the disease is known. All so-called hog cholera medicines are a snare and a delusion. The "anti-hog-cholera serum," evolved by the Federal Bureau of Animal Industry, is the only reliable preventive agent. This serum is now manufactured by several state institutions and by private licensed firms by the secretary of agriculture for the purpose. The disease attains its greatest height during September, October and November, dying down rapidly after this time, particularly after snow falls, and reaching its lowest point during February. Reports from the field which reach the department of agriculture indicate that there are outbreaks of hog cholera at present in a number of states and that, owing to a scarcity of anti-hogcholera serum, many hogs are dying of the disease. During the past five years there has been comparatively little cholera in the country and, as a result, the hog growers have not been immunizing their hogs as in previous The culprit is Dr. Johnston. He it was who drew the picture. Never knew that the doctor came near forsaking medicine to be a cartoonist? Fact. Fay withdrew his motion, amid laughter, saying it was all a joke on Stern, and his honor relapsed into his usual composure. Then later in the evening, while Dr. Johnston addressed the board, Stern executed a pencil sketch of his honor. Why do we not publish Stern's sketch along with the doctor's? The reason is plain.

The body of Charles Neipp, who died in the Philippine islands, August 28, of last year, was shipped to Anaheim on Saturday evening from San Francisco, whence it had just arrived from the islands. The funeral occurred on Sunday afternoon. Company E of the national guard acted as escort. The remains were followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of sorrowing friends. Neipp was a member of the Twenty-third Infantry. He left for the Philippines January 7, 1899, and died in August of last year. Michael Neipp, father of deceased, was duly notified of his son's death by the war department, but for some reason the body was not sent home until more than a year had elapsed since his death. Joaquin Miller, the "Poet of the Sierras," will lecture under the auspices of the Women’s Club of Santa Ana, at the Santa Ana Grand, Tuesday, October 22. He will relate his adventures at the Klondike, and give some of his observations on China in 1900. He was at the battle of Tien-Tsin, and at Shanghai held a personal interview with Earl Li Hung Chang. Delegates from branches of the Daughters of the Confederacy met in San Francisco, some days ago, and formed the chapters into a California division and elected officers. Mrs. Sheldon S. Wright of San Francisco was elected division president, Mrs. S. Thorpe of Los Angeles first vice-president, Miss Matite S. Davis of San Diego division second vice-president, Mrs. B. F. Church of Los Angeles division secretary; Mrs. L. M. Fletcher of San Francisco division treasurer, and Mrs. A. H. Lacy of Santa Ana division historian. The supreme president of the society, Mrs. Ward, wife of the Episcopal bishop of Florida, was present at the meeting. Henry Horstman, Sr., of San Francisco, a director of the German Savings Bank, has been in town several days this week, the guest of Mr. Korn. He is accompanied by his nephew, John L. Bach, a young San Franciscan, whose father was one of the original settlers of Anaheim. The Placentia Orange Growers Association has elected the following board of directors for the ensuing year: Mayor E. F. C. Klokke, A. McDermont, A. Pierotti, A. T. Pendleton, A. S. Bradford, Theodore Staley and R. J. Laidlaw. Professor Little, principal of the public schools, has handed us a report of the schools for the month ending October 11, 1901. The total attendance of the schools was 337. The teachers in the Central school are: Professor Little, principal; Miss Rector, Miss Wallop, Miss Mosseman, Miss Bowland, Miss Burton—West Anaheim, Professor Fraiser, Mrs. Spencer, Miss Nemetz—Katella, Miss Lovel.

Rev. E. W. Pratt of the Methodist Episcopal church will be married at that edifice this evening, at 8 o'clock, to Miss Lucy Edgerly Thurlow. The newly married couple will be at home after November 1, at their residence on the corner of Olive and Broadway. C. C. Chapman is shipping out a number of carloads of oranges of late varieties from his Placentia ranch. He has ten cars of late fruit yet to ship, and this will go forward within the next few weeks. Mrs. Dr. Eddy departed on Monday afternoon for San Francisco, to be in attendance at the grand chapter of the Order of Eastern Star, as a delegate from Chispa chapter of this city. Mrs. John Rimpau returned today to her home in Yuma, after a visit of several weeks with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Everhardy. H. W. Chynowith was in town on Tuesday from Los Angeles. He leaves in a few days for a six weeks' visit to Chicago. Max Hiltscher, Sam Porter and Walter Sproul of Fullerton have departed for the Beaumont (Texas) oil fields. J. P. Greeley was appointed grand marshal of the Masonic grand lodge, in session in San Francisco last week. Joseph Fiscus of Miraflores, whose right leg was broken in three places by kicks from a fractious horse, the latter part of June, has been about on crutches during the week. Mr. Fiscus was in the Los Angeles hospital upwards of three months, and has been out some three weeks. His leg is still incased in a plaster cast. This will be removed this week, when it is hoped an investigation will reveal the fact that the fractures have completely healed.
