IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic H of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange Coun 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1876 Rarely has a death occurred more truly sad to contemplate than that of Mrs. M. L. Wicks, which we chronicle today. A lovely, amiable and accomplished lady, possessed of far more than ordinary attractions of mind, not long married and but recently the happy mother of her first child, she was cut off when just budding into true womanhood; was checked, as it were, on the threshold of life. At this joyous season, we believe we speak the sentiments of all alike when we tender our sincere and heart-felt sympathy to the lonely mourner in his desolate home: Death, sad at any time, is indeed awful in such a case as this. The following officers of Anaheim lodge No. 207, F. and A. M., were installed last night by Past Master Fred W. Athearn, Theodore Reiser, W. M.; H. Blanken, S. W.; F. Hartung, J. W.; M. L. Goodman, treasurer; A. W. Steinhart, secretary. Among the arrivals during the holidays were our friends, Messrs. Rust, Stern and Lafaucherie.

Upon motion of Dr. Yocum, it was ordered that the regular meeting of the board of trustees be held upon the first Tuesday of every month, at 2 p.m., at the hall over the Bank of Anaheim. The salary of the clerk of the board of trustees was left unstated until he was present and could be consulted upon the matter. The salary of the town marshal was fixed at $25 a month, to commence from the date of his qualification before the board. The salary of the assessor was fixed at $60 for each annual assessment. The bonds of the treasurer were placed at $5000. The bonds of the marshal as ex-officio tax collector were placed at $5000.

A committee consisting of Messrs. Fischer, Boege and Heimann was appointed to draw up said petition. The same committee was also appointed to draw up an order of business to be presented for consideration at the next meeting of the board. Upon motion a committee, consisting of Messrs. Yocum, Langenberger and Heimann, was appointed to confer with the authorities of the old city of Anaheim regarding the transfer of the city property to the town of Anaheim.

DAYS OF LONG AGO The Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, JANUARY 2, 1902 A pretty wedding took place at the home of Mrs. Oefinger, Sunday, December 29, at 2 p.m., when William Kroeger and Miss Katherine Oefinger were united in marriage by Judge Shanley. The house was attractively decorated in smilax and holly berries. The bride looked beautiful in a dress of light gray crepon, trimmed in white chiffon and white satin ribbons. She carried natural orange blossoms and wore a spray of the same in her hair. Miss Bertha Oefinger, sister of the bride, who acted as maid of honor, looked lovely in white organdie trimmed in tiny rushes, delicate lace and satin ribbons; Louis Kroeger, brother of the groom, acted as best man. After the ceremony supper was served Those present were near relations only of the bride and groom. Mr. and Mrs. Kroeger will be at home to their friends in their new home on Northam avenue after February 15th. Alex Henry reports that not to exceed two and a half boxes of oranges were blown from his orchard at Caledonia Grove during the wind of Christmas Day, which was the heaviest in years. The orchard is protected by a fine cypress hedge, which Mr. Henry values highly as a windbrake. "We didn't have a touch of frost during the cold spell last week, and the orchard never looked better. Some people object to hedges around orange groves, saying the outside row of trees are ill affected thereby, but mine show no such effects. Besides, I would rather sacrifice a few trees, if that were necessary, in order to save my crop. I wouldn't take out my hedge for any consideration." Mr. Henry gets top-notch prices for his fruit, and the quality is equal to the best. TIMETABLE A. T. & S. F. Ry. Coast Lines In effect November 14, 1926 Trains to Los Angeles *No. 79 ... 6:45 A.M.

One correspondent says that since the state's attorney was a Democrat and the defense attorney a Republican, the result of the Hall-Mills case was a New Jersey Republican victory, and if this is true there will doubtless be a Senate investigation shortly.

If he succeeds in securing the property, he will erect a $6000 brick building. John Bancroft, who spent several weeks with his father, E. H. Bancroft, at his Orangethorpe home, has returned to Santa Barbara, where he is employed as operator upon a typesetting machine in one of the newspapers. John is one of the most expert machine compositors in the state. During a part of his stay at the ranch he put in time chopping wood—so he says, but of course we have our doubts about that. John Bancroft chop wood? Never! Joseph Dauser had the unpleasant experience of irrigating his orchard during the windstorm and, after running water to the alfalfa during the morning hours, sent word to Zanjero Brunsworth to shut it off early in the afternoon. He did not care to run water about his orange trees, thus loosening the soil and taking chances of having them uprooted. He considers the wind the worst which ever blew in this neighborhood. The proprietors of the new paper at Fullerton have purchased Mrs. Crist's frame building, on the corner of Center and Philadelphia streets, paying $200 therefor. It was some years ago moved here from Carlton, and will be transported to Fullerton to be used as the new print shop. Charley Allgeyer enjoyed a visit from his father, John B.

The worst Santa Ana wind in years blew on Friday, beginning about 10 o'clock and continuing for 12 hours. Reports from Santa Ana, Riverside, Redlands and other places are to the effect that the wind blew a gale at each of those places, piling up sand in places 15 and 20 feet high. Signs were blown down, awnings wrecked and plate glass windows broken. Orange were blown from the trees, telegraph and telephone wires blown down and railroad traffic interfered with. In this locality no great damage was reported, but the wind was the most disagreeable in years. A large audience assembled at the opera house on Monday evening to witness the performance given under the auspices of the Altar Guild of the Episcopal church.

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 82 To Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Monticello, IL, 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 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 sets the system. Besides, it is absolutely harmless, and so pleasant that even a cross, feverish, bloody, sick child gladly takes it.
