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 9, 1876 The Silly Proposition for State Division.—The absurd proposition to divide the state is receiving altogether too much attention from the San Francisco newspaper. The Call supplements the remarks of the Alta in the following strain: "A proposition to divide the state does not any more interest San Francisco than it does other portions of California, but it is a difficult matter to divide a state. Efforts have been made for the past twenty years to divide Texas, but without any prospects of success. Indeed, the older a state becomes, the more difficult it becomes to change its borders. If the vote of California were now taken for such a purpose, it is our opinion it would be discarded by an overwhelming majority." If the measure could become divested of its absurdity sufficiently to warrant giving the movement serious thought and attention, the loud protestations that would arise against division in the section proposed to be cut off from the old state would soon open the eyes of the prominent divisionists to the unpopularity of their scheme. It is only those who propose to fasten themselves like leeches upon the treasury of the new state who are agitating this matter, and they stand alone in their desire to perpetrate this most unnecessary and unjust measure. The taxpayers, out of whose pockets must come the money with which to lubricate the wheels of the new state Juggernaut, are utterly opposed to division and, if the question is to assume a serious aspect, would make their objections known in an unmistakable and emphatic manner.

Mendelssohn has been suffering since Saturday with an attack of diphtheria. Last evening, Dr. Hardin, who has been in attendance upon the sufferer, pronounced her much better. This is the first case of diphtheria which has occurred in town, and our immunity from the scourge is something to be profoundly thankful for. We are glad to be able to state that no other case is known in town, and the rumors which were current yesterday to the contrary had no foundation in fact. Dr. Burtnett and Ed Mateer were in town yesterday. Mr. Mateer's health is improving rapidly, under the skilfull treatment of the doctor and the influence of the salubrious climate of Santa Ana. A telegram was received yesterday afternoon by Mr. John Fischer from Supervisor Evey, stating that the petition for the incorporation of the town of Anaheim had been granted, and that an election had been ordered on December 23.

Two races will take place in San Juan Capistrano on Saturday, December 16, between some horses belonging to Mr. Forster and some belonging to parties in San Bernardino.

Lieutenant Johnston, whom he succeeds, was some time ago elected battalion adjutant. A huge bowl of tobacco adorned the entire table and clay pipes were passed around. Everybody smoked the health of the new officer. The evening was one of hearty enjoyment. Coffee and sandwiches were served and at a late hour the party dispersed.

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 83 To Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Monticello, Ill., a practicing physician for 47 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 mary oils. While he knew that constipation was the cause of nearly all headaches, biliousness, 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. Beaides, it is absolutely harmless, and so pleasant that even a cross, feverish, billious, sick child gladly takes it.
