These Files Contain the Only Authentic History of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1876 The Anaheim Literary Society met in regular session on Monday. The library committee made a report and was discharged. The number of books collected amounted to one hundred and about twenty-five dollars has been subscribed. Messrs. Montgomery, Barham and Beebe were appointed to take charge of the books and money, and were authorized to receive any further donations, either of money or books. A declamation was then given by E. F. Cahill, after which was discussed the following: "Resolved, That the right of franchise shall be given only to those who can read the Constitution of the United States." Mr. A. G. Beebe opened the debate, followed by his opponent, F. W. Athearn. The decision was given in favor of the affirmative.

Plato received some California raisins yesterday put up by R. B. Blowers, at Woodland. It would be well for some of our raisin makers to take a look at them, as they might get an idea in regard to preparing raisins for the market which would be useful to them. Mr. Stagg of the Planters has been preparing for the Christmas festivities by making some experiments on that time-honored beverage known as Tom and Jerry. He called our reporter over yesterday to pass an opinion on his endeavors, and he pronounced it a complete success. If there is anything said reporter is a judge of, it is Tom and Jerry. Just about sundown last evening, the pretty little village of Orange, five miles distant, could be plainly seen from our office. The atmosphere for the past day or two has been peculiarly clear, enabling one to distinguish objects at a great distance. It is noticeable, too, that noises, such as the blowing of the whistle or the sound of the fan at the Alden factory, can be heard with unusual distinctness. Mr. R. Luedke put on exhibition yesterday his wonderful "farm yard," which has delighted both old and young for so many years. It is an ingenious piece of workmanship and well worth seeing.

We congratulate him upon his good fortune. His friends visited his new house in the evening, and the consequence was that he was extremely busy yesterday morning, removing sacks of sand from his chimney. Mr. J. Hayward of Orange has leased the Anaheim hotel. All the cooking and waiting on the tables will be done by women. There will be no Chinamen employed in the establishment.

She still retains 30 acres adjoining the property on the north, and has under consideration the erection of a fine residence. She will spend some time with her daughters in Los Angeles during the holidays. Miss Marie Horstman of this city was a passenger on the southbound Southern Pacific limited train which collided with the northbound limited at a point in Monterey Thursday morning last. Miss Horstman had gone to San Francisco to attend the funeral of her brother, who breathed his last one day last week. Several lives were lost. Both engines were wrecked and many cars smashed. The wreckage took fire and many passengers narrowly escaped with their lives. Miss Horstman escaped uninjured, except for a bad shaking up. At 6 o'clock Miss Horstman telegraphed Mr. Korn, her stepfather here, intelligence of the wreck. Mr. Korn received the message at 7 o'clock that evening. The relief train did not arrive until 2 o'clock on Thursday afternoon. Miss Horstman arrived home on Friday, glad to have escaped with her life from the most serious railway smashup ever recorded in the history of the state.

Fewer baby rattles are being sold, but that is not because there are fewer babies. It's just useless to try to rattle the modern baby.

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 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, calomol and many oils. While he knew that constipation was the cause of nearly all headaches, billionness, 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 "regularly" 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, billious, sick child gladly takes it.
