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. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1876 A heavy wind, one of the real old-fashioned Santa Ana winds, commenced blowing, about 10 o'clock, on Tuesday evening. It started the wind-mills at a lively rate, banged the shutters and made the dry house timbers creak. Yesterday morning it was blowing great guns, and the dust of our excellent streets was flying in every direction. "There is never an ill wind without a corresponding amount of good," says an old proverb, and old Californians say that such winds bring a heavy rain. The prospects of our getting it are quite flattering. The Anaheim Literary Society met on Monday evening, with E. F. Cahill in the chair. Messrs. Victor Montgomery and D. R. Payne delivered declamations. The following question was then discussed: "Resolved, That the President of the United States should be elected by popular vote." Mr. Theodore Lynill opened the debate, followed by his opponent, Mr. M. A. Mendelson. The decision was given in favor of the affirmative. The question for debate at the next meeting is: "Resolved, That the truth should not always be spoken." The affirmative will be sustained by Victor Montgomery, the negative by E. F. Cahill. Declamations will be delivered by R. Brown and C. Calloway. The committee appointed to collect books and funds for a public library was discharged and a new one appointed, consisting of V. Montgomery, M. A. Mendelson and D. R. Payne. A 300-yard race will come off on Saturday, at the residence of Mr. Gibson, between a roan horse belonging to Mr. Willis and H.

Miles and Alexander Bailey were declared elected water commissioners for the Anaheim district. The resignation of J. B. Pierce as overseer of irrigation was accepted. T. J. Ellis was appointed a commissioner and surveyor to act with a surveyor appointed by the supervisors of San Bernardino county to survey and establish the boundary line between the two counties. The cost of said survey not to cost the county of Los Angeles more than $1000. In the matter of the Santa Ana roads Nos. 3 and 5, the report of the viewers was approved and an assessment of damages made. The land of Mrs. Jordan was ordered condemned for road No. 4, and that of Northcross for road No. 2, and the roads ordered opened. The local editor of the Los Angeles Republican paid us a visit on Sunday, and gives his experience as follows: “We paid a flying visit to the delightful city of Anaheim yesterday, and were highly gratified in our short visit. We were very handsomely entertained by our kind host of the Anaheim hotel, Mr. Max Nebelung. We also paid a visit to the magnificent residence of Gustave Davis, Esq., and viewed his unsurpassed orange grove. It will repay anyone to see what enterprise and taste can accomplish in a few years. His orange trees are inferior to none in the state. During our stay we had the pleasure of an introduction to Mr. Frank Ey, and found him to be a real prince of a good fellow. Long may he wave.” Mr. C. Tustin was in town yesterday. He inform us that he will build a residence in Tustin City, having sold the tract upon which he has heretofore resided. A convention met at the depot on Wednesday evening and located a town to be called Boegesville. A petition was in circulation yesterday to establish a postoffice at that point. Mr. Otto Evers is recommended as postmaster. It will be seen by the following totals that Los Angeles county polled the third largest vote in the state at the last election. San Francisco, 41,671; Alameda, 8339; Los Angeles, 6649; Sacramento, 6297; Santa Clara, 5652. Mr. J. S. Roberts has opened a harness shop in the building formerly occupied by Cahill & Lynill on Center street. Several large bands of sheep were started for San Francisco from this section yesterday.

Mr. J. P. Zeyn returned last evening from a visit to San Francisco. A sample of raisins made on the ranch of Mr. Leonard Parker of the muscat grape was brought to our office on Friday. The raisins are equal to the imported in flavor and appearance and are put up in excellent shape. Mrs. Harbert, who resides near town, took a large dose of aconite on Sunday evening, mistaking it for some other medicine. Dr. Hardin was called and immediately relieved her sufferings. A baseball match took place in Orange yesterday between the ball clubs of Orange and Azusa. The Orange club won. Mr. J. E. Bayard, the gentlemanly messenger for the Southern Pacific Transfer Company has been appointed messenger for Wells Fargo & Company's express at this point. Mr. Fränk Mielenz left for San Francisco by steamer yesterday. We saw yesterday, at the Anaheim bank, a nugget of gold weighing something over four ounces. It was brought in from Sonora. The stage from San Juan Capistrano was delayed several hours yesterday morning on account of the dense fog. The train for Los Angeles waited one hour for the mails and finally left without them. The first shipment of limes from Los Nietos was made yesterday by Mr. L. L. Bequette. There were 1000 limes, and they were shipped to San Francisco. The prayers of the righteous have at last prevailed and the roadmaster, Mr. T. H. Shelley, will commence grading Center street on Monday next. Married—In San Francisco, November 12, 1876, Granville Spurgeon of Santa Ana to Miss Freddie Reinhold of Milwaukee. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1901 H. E. Huntington, principal stockholder in the new electric lines now building out of Los Angeles, passed through Anaheim a day or two ago, accompanied by Epes Randolph, general manager of the Pasadena and Los Angeles electric road; Chief Engineer Pillsbury of the Los Angeles consolidated system, and other gentlemen connected with his enterprises. He proceeded to Los Alamitos and later drove through the Peatlands to Santa Ana. He was met by F. C. Trask, president of the Interurban Railroad Company, and Captain Tolle of the same company, and drove over the proposed route between Santa Ana and Anaheim. Mr. Huntington's visit has given rise to renewed reports about the early building of the electric line of railway between Santa Ana and Los Angeles, through Anaheim, Fullerton, Whittier and La Habra. It is expected that work upon the road between Los Angeles and Whittier will begin immediately, and on this end of the line early in the new year. At Orange it is understood the bonus of $5000 asked for to extend the line through that town has not been raised. Something over $3000 has been pledged, and this will be tendered the company as a bonus to build through the town. At a regular meeting of Chispa chapter No. 151, Order of Eastern Star, held Monday evening, November 18, 1901, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Mrs. E. H.

Of course, if it had been the other way around, and Europe had loaned Uncle Sam money to carry on a war to save himself, Europe would have been more than glad to cancel the debt and then lend us a lot more money.

Beets in Colorado have twice the local tonnage and farmers are making money. H. C. Head, as attorney for the heirs of Mrs. Josephine Wagner, deceased, has filed a petition in the clerk's office for the admission of the will to probate. The estate is valued at about $75,000, and consists of holdings of real estate in and about Placentia. Senator Jones has made contracts for 4000 acres to be planted to sugar beets, and seeding operations begin early in December. This early planting will be an unusual experience to beet growers, inasmuch as the planting season formerly began in February or March. The early planting is for the purpose of giving beets the benefit of the December and January rains. Senator Jones is desirous of securing additional contracts to the extent of one or two thousand acres. Seed will arrive and be distributed in a fortnight.

MANN 210 South Los Angeles Phone 43, Anaheim A USED CAR IS ONLY AS DEPENDABLE AS THE DEALER WHO SELLS IT Constipation! How to Keep Bowels Regular DR. W. B. CALDWELL AT THE AGE OF 63 To Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Monticello, Ill., a practicing physician for 75 years, it seemed cruel that so many constipated men, women, children, and particularly old folks, had to be kept constantly "stirred up" and half sick by taking cathartic pills, tablets, salts, calomel and marty oils. While he knew that constipation was the cause of nearly all headaches, billiousness, indigestion and stomach misery, he did not believe that a sickening "purge" or "physic" was necessary. In Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin he discovered a laxative which helps to establish natural bowel "regularity" even for those chronically constipated. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin not only causes a gentle, easy bowel movement but, best of all, it never gripes, sickens or upsets the system. Besides, it is absolutely harmless, and so pleasant that even a cross, feverish, bilious, sick child gladly takes it.
