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, DECEMBER 2, 1876 At the meeting of the Literary Society on Monday evening, the following officers were elected: F. M. Cahill, president; H. S. Austin, vice-president; T. S. Grimshaw, secretary; Fred Rimpau, treasurer; Victor Montgomery, sergeant-at-arms. A resolution was adopted amending the second section of rule one. It now reads as follows: "That there be four speakers appointed in the affirmative and four in the negative." The question, "Resolved, That the truth should not always be spoken," was discussed by Victor Montgomery in the affirmative and E. F. Cahill in the negative. A decision was given in favor of the affirmative. The question for discussion at the next meeting is, "Resolved, That all laws should be obeyed." Affirmative, F. W. Athearn, Theo. Lynn, T. W. Cook, M. A. Mendelson; negative, J. M. Guinn, H. S. Austin, D. R. Payne, A. G. Beebe. Declamations will be given by T. S. Grimshaw and Robert Brown. Our advertising columns this morning contain a call for a meeting to be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock for the purpose of discussing "The advisability of incorporating the town." We are glad the advocacy of this movement by The Gazette has resulted in awakening our citizens to the importance of having a municipal government. We hope the gentlemen who have called the meeting will meet with a hearty support from the masses in their endeavor to better the condition of our little commonwealth.

We hope the gentlemen who have called the meeting will meet with a hearty support from the masses in their endeavor to better the condition of our little commonwealth. A meeting was held on Sunday at the Planters hotel for the purpose of taking the necessary steps towards organizing a dramatic association. Mr. A. G. Beebe presided over the deliberations of the body, which was addressed by Messrs. Stagg, Montgomery and others, in favor of organizing an association which would serve to rescue the writings of the late lamented and gifted William Shakespeare from the oblivion which threatens them, if the latent talent of Anaheim does not do its share in perpetuating the love of the "legitimate" in the human heart. These sentiments were loudly and vociferously applauded, and the movement was put in shape by appointing a committee to prepare a constitution and by-laws for the guidance of the association. To Messrs. Woodruff, Lynill and Montgomery was delegated this task, with instructions to report at a meeting to be held this evening. In the language of the immortal bard of Avon: "Well done, good and faithful servants. Thou hast established upon a solid basis a literary society and several other things, and I promise the success in thy present scheme and in many other things. Enter thou into the undertaking fearing naught." At the annual election of officers of Anaheim lodge No. 207, F. & A. M., held on Saturday evening, the following officers were elected: Theo. Reiser, W. M.; H. Blanken, S. W.; Fred Hartung, J. W.; M. L. Goodman, treasurer; A. W. Steinhart, secretary. We noticed yesterday some splendid samples of dried figs put up by Mr. Luedke. They present a fine appearance and are, no doubt, as good as they appear. Serious damage was caused by the late wind at the bee ranch of Mr. J. W. Sallee, in Santiago canyon. A two-story bee house was blown down and a large number of bees and several tons of honey were destroyed. Alfred Carrillo, brother of the Los Angeles city marshal, met with a serious accident on Friday night. While riding along his beat, his horse accidentally stepped into an excavation which had been made for the reception of gas mains, and Mr. Carrillo was thrown violently to the ground, breaking his arm and sustaining other injuries. The bay mare belonging to J. M. Hickey of Santa Ana won the 300-yard race at Gibson's ranch yesterday. A delegation from Gaddy & Lewis' stable returned from a grand hunt yesterday with a fine lot of geese, ducks and other game. The stage took 16 passengers to Westminster Thursday evening. A small branch broken by the weight of fruit from one of the orange trees in the orchard of Mr. Gus Davis was found to have on it 208 oranges.

A. Darling, agent at the depot, will move into his new house today. A serious accident happened to Mr. O. Des Granges yesterday. He was repairing a windmill, while it was in motion, and the crank caught his elbow, crushing it quite badly. He was attended by Dr. Yocum. Hon. Fred Lambourn is to be married to a daughter of J. E. Tipton of El Monte. A buggy was sold yesterday by the sheriff for $16. Mr. Louis Mendelson arrived here yesterday from San Rafael, Lower California. By kind invitation of Mr. Heimann of the Planters hotel, The Gazette corps partook of a Thanksgiving dinner at that popular hostelry on Thursday. The menu was an excellent one, and Mr. Heimann may congratulate himself upon possessing a cook who thoroughly understands his business. Tustin city is well supplied with butcher shops. Two have started there the last few weeks. A drug store is now needd at that place. Quite a crowd, both young and old, gathered on Center street yesterday afternoon, watching with interest a game of top. Even the spirits can't tell for sure. One Boston medium says Hayes will be the next president. Another sees Tilden in the White House. The spirits are evidently greatly excited over the result. 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, DECEMBER 5. 1901 Company E's Thanksgiving ball, at the Armory, on Thursday evening, was the social event of the season. Upwards of one hundred couples were present and tripped the light fantastic to the voluptuous strains of McEachran's orchestra. The hall was tastefully decorated with flowers, palms and evergreens, which transformed the drill hall into a bower of beauty. The ball was in charge of the company's amusement committee, composed of Herman Stern, chairman; Eugene Adams, secretary; Louie Kroeger, treasurer; Charley Fay, Ed Zeus, Ed Bennerscheidt and Bobby Mills. The floor committee was composed of those heavy swells, Albert Nagle, L. Kroeger and Dick Zerman. At midnight the dancers sat down to a sumptuous turkey dinner, prepared by those two local Delmonicos, Vanderbilt Bennerscheidt and Bob Mills. Tables literally groaned under the weight of good things. After supper, dancing continued till a late hour. Socially and financially the ball was a success, and the company realized quite a handsome sum to be turned into the fund to provide it with amusements during the winter. We take a few extracts from an article appearing in a Los Angeles weekly, being a special write-up of Anaheim: "Who has not heard of Anaheim, the substantial little city with a population of 2500, just one hour's ride from Los Angeles, in northern Orange county. More than forty years ago the historic town was founded by a German colony from San Francisco, who, after their own heart, lived to themselves and devoted themselves." TIMETABLE A. T. & S. F. By.

We take a few extracts from an article appearing in a Los Angeles weekly, being a special write-up of Anaheim: "Who has not heard of Anaheim, the substantial little city with a population of 2500, just one hour's ride from Los Angeles, in northern Orange county. More than forty years ago the historic town was founded by a German colony from San Francisco, who, after their own heart, lived to themselves and devoted time to horticulture and viticulture. Substantial buildings were erected and Anaheim grew on a solid foundation of labor and perseverance, mingled with exclusiveness. This good old colony could not last forever, and as the ranks were thinned, other business men filled the gaps. "Upon reaching Anaheim by rail, you are given a free ride from the depot to the new Commercial hotel in a handsome turnout owned by the city livery stable, of which Ed Zeus and Oscar Warling are proprietors. Churches of every denomination prevail, and the four public schools are a source of pride to the citizens. At present a handsome new brick high school, with all the modern improvements, is being completed. The school trustees are T. A. Darling, president; J. H. Clabaugh, clerk, and A. H. Sheldon. "The public library is another intellectual pride. A Chamber of Commerce has recently been organized and is most generally supported by the business men and wisely conducted by Richard Melrose, president; Fred G. Athearn, secretary; H. A. Dickel, a leading grocery man; Herman Stern, manager of Stern Brothers' establishment; George Boyd, manager of the California Packing Plant; Dr. Johnston, and Peter Weisel, Jr., are directors. "For the past eight years Mayor Joe Helmsen has with a steady hand backed by a strong will and untiring and intelligent enterprise steered Anaheim safely through turbulent times. Now Anaheim as a city is far superior to many larger ones from the fact that the people own the city hall, fire department, a splendid water works and electric light plant and hundreds of feet of superior hose. At present the city owns property valued at $46,000 against an indebtedness of $31,000. Twenty-four 2000-candle power arc lights generated by a 2000-volt electric plant illuminate the city. Anaheim is a beautiful city. The long, level graded streets are bordered with corresponding rows of handsome shade trees, which with the beautiful plants and foliage in the grounds of the residences create a desire to remain and enjoy the grandeur of nature." Anaheim lodge No. 199, I. O. O. F., elected the following officers for the ensuing term: O. W. Warling, noble grand; A. E. Lewis, vice-grand; Frank S. Gates, secretary; Herman Stern, treasurer; Charles Fay, trustee, long term; R. Melrose, middle term; H. A. McWilliams, short term. Harris & Falkenstein make one of the prettiest displays of toys ever seen in the city. Beside toys, they have numberless fancy articles suitable for holiday gifts for little and big folks. Freeman & Cook have opened a blacksmith shop in the stand formerly occupied by Nick Hugo. Both are experienced blacksmiths and have already caught on. There is room for a good blacksmith here.

Charley Norman has been engaged in putting in necessary repairs to the approach to the Olive bridge, preparatory to the winter rains. Lacking a pile-driver to drive piles with, he procured a post-hole digger and is using posts to brace the approaches. Sam Federman came down from Los Angeles yesterday. He reports more tourists in that town than at any period in its history, and business of all kinds booming. Chauncey Huggans has rented the Bennerscheidt brick building on Center street, taking a three years' lease, and will occupy it in the near future with an up-to-date restaurant and bottling works. A first-class restaurant is one of the things which Anaheim needs, and Huggans is just the man to fill this long-felt want. J. H. Enearl has been engaged for some weeks past in the erection of a number of cottages at the oil wells, where considerable improvement has been the order of the day. Employes of the wells have raised $600 for the erection of a hall where entertainments and social hops may be given, and Mr. Enearl will likely be employed to build it. Julius Schneider made a hunting trip to the Landing some days ago, and succeeded in bagging a number of fine birds. Gus Hansen, prosperous rancher of Orangethorpe avenue, was in town on Saturday afternoon. Judge Landell and Harry Whitaker were in town from Buena Park yesterday afternoon. Chet Holcomb came in from Indio to spend Thanksgiving with relatives and friends. Otto Zeus came down from Los Angeles to spend Thanksgiving with his folks here. Napoleon Hart made a business trip to Los Angeles Monday. LUMBER MEASURED WITH THE GOLDEN RULE We are ready to meet your building needs!

Caldwell, of Monticello, Ill., a practicing physician for 67 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 mastic 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 grips, sickens, or upsets the system. Besides, it is absolutely harmless, and so pleasant that even a cross, feverish, illious, sick child gladly takes it.
