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, JANUARY 13, 1877 The board of town-trustees met yesterday afternoon, all the members being present. The marshal reported that he had taken possession of the town jail and had it cleaned. He also had arrested one lawbreaker, who had been sent to the county jail. The finance committee recommended that a tax of 25 cents on the $100 be assessed at once, the assessment list to be delivered to the clerk of the board of trustees by the first of February, to remain open for inspection in the hands of the said clerk until the sixth of February, at which time the board of trustees shall meet and sit as a board of equalization. Said tax shall be due and payable on March first, and become delinquent on April first, at which time a penalty of 5 per cent shall be added upon all sums then unpaid. All sums not paid by the tenth of April shall be collected by the marshal as provided by laws of the state and the ordinance of the town. The motion fixing the day for the meeting of the board was reconsidered and a motion was carried that the meeting shall be held on the first Friday of every month. The report of the ordinance committee was then taken up and twelve ordinances passed. Justice Bailey was chosen as justice of the peace to act as recorder, and his bond was fixed at $500. The board then adjourned to meet next Friday at 2 o'clock p.m. The Anaheim Literary Society met on Monday evening. Victor Montgomery delivered his declamation, after which the following question was discussed: "Resolved, That war is never justifiable." E. F. Cahill opened the debate followed by his opponent, J. M. Guinn. The decision was given in favor of the negative. The question selected for discussion at the next meeting was: "Re- The Anaheim Literary Society met on Monday evening. Victor Montgomery delivered his declamation, after which the following question was discussed: "Resolved, That war is never justifiable." E. F. Cahill opened the debate followed by his opponent, J. M. Guinn. The decision was given in favor of the negative. The question selected for discussion at the next meeting was, "Resolved, That Napoleon was greater as a statesman than as a soldier."

The following officers were selected to serve for the ensuing year: President, H. S. Austin; vice-president, T. S. Grimshaw; secretary, Victor Montgomery; treasurer, Fred Rimpau; sergeant-at-arms, D. R. Payne. Mr. J. K. Tuffree, agent for the pasture lands on the Stearn's ranchos, has removed his office to Langerberger's. Night Watchman Bohn on Wednesday night discovered an individual attempting to affect an entrance to the Planters hotel. He gave chase but superior agility and darkness favored the burglar, and he made good his escape. There is something wrong in the postoffice department south of Anaheim, as our subscribers at San Juan Capistrano did not receive their papers last week, while we have proof positive that they left this office as usual. The sanitary condition of Los Angeles is so bad that it is proposed to call a meeting of citizens to urge the council to adopt some effectual measures to protect the health of the city. The demand for the Santa Paula flour is steadily increasing, and we are informed by Messrs. A. Guy Smith & Company that their sales are something more than a carload a month. Dr. J. H. Yocum moved to his new residence, corner of Palm and Center streets yesterday. Mr. John Fischer has purchased the interest of Mr. Arthur Heimann in the Planters hotel. It rained in San Francisco yesterday. General Stoneman says that 1847 was one of the best years he ever knew in California, notwithstanding the fact that no rain fell until the twenty-sixth of January. A. T. Hawley is lying dangerously ill in Santa Monica. Mr. H. Mabury, one of the directors of the Bank of Anaheim, arrived here from Los Angeles yesterday. There was no northern mail last evening, the train between Los Angeles and San Francisco being detained by an accident. We were told yesterday part of the life history of Early Lyons, the man who recently died of smallpox in the pest house in Los Angeles. He was over 6 feet high, and presented a patriotic display of reverence and respect. A. T. Hawley is lying dangerously ill in Santa Monica. Mr. H. Mabury, one of the directors of the Bank of Anaheim, arrived here from Los Angeles yesterday. There was no northern mail last evening, the train between Los Angeles and San Francisco being detained by an accident. We were told yesterday part of the life history of Early Lyons, the man who recently died of smallpox in the pest house in Los Angeles. He was over 6 feet high, and presented a patriarchal appearance that impressed itself upon every beholder. He was aged 72 years, was a man of remarkable physique, yet he died in a very few days after taking smallpox. It is said he was secretary of the legislature in Mexico, in 1840. He was compelled to leave Georgia on a charge of killing his wife. He fled to Texas, where he afterward aided in the war with Mexico. He fled to California on account of killing two men, and up in Tulare county he killed a sheriff and deputy who were trying to arrest him. This caused his advent to Southern California, where he led a quiet existence, disturbed only by an outbreak of his fearful temper. There are always a large number of small boys gathered around the depot upon every arrival of the train. We shall not be much surprised if an accident befalls some of them, as the practice is a dangerous one. Mormon George won the race at Santa Ana Tuesday. Over one thousand dollars changed hands. The Colusa Sun states that they have to hire men night and day to watch their grain fields to prevent their destruction by wild duck and geese. Messrs. Frank Wolf and William Pendleton of Downey City, who have been hunting in the vicinity of Fort Tejon for the past ten or twelve days killed and brought home 25 deer and antelope. Obed Macy is now "manager" of the Lafayette saloon in Los Angeles. The town was visited by a heavy frost on Thursday night, and late yesterday morning the ground was still white from its effects. S OF LONG AGO Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century A New Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 1902 Madame Modjeska, who has been appearing with Louis James in a fine production of "Henry VIII," was suddenly attacked in Denver recently by a severe affection of the throat which prevented her from speaking. As Katharine she was on the throne, and she called for a glass of water. When it was found that she was unable to proceed, the scene was cut and her understudy appeared during the remainder of the play. Next day the actress hoped to go on at the matinee but was unable, and her doctor advised that she must rest until Monday. It is uncertain yet whether she will be able to act next week. She has been playing to crowded houses and all the critics have praised her acting highly. Photographer Howard has taken a number of very fine views of the city from the tower of the Del Campo. They compare favorably with Los Angeles work. No one should go away from Anaheim for photographic work so long as we have here an artist of Mr. Howard's excellence. Mrs. Konig entertained the Ladies' Euchre Club at her home on Thursday afternoon. The parlor and dining room were profusely decorated with roses and evergreens.

Rimpau the second, and Mrs. Konig the consolation. Mrs. Matthay and Miss Adela Dotter of Los Angeles were the guests of Mrs. Konig, having come down to attend the party. TIMETABLE A. T. & S. F. Ry.

Prime Minister Stresemann says that if the League of Nations had been in existence in 1914 there would have been no World war. This is another one of those statements which it will be a little difficult to prove or disprove. This investigation business has gone so far that every senator to be efficient should be equipped with a private detective as well as a private secretary.

Bowers A STATEMENT By the President of Dodge Brothers, Inc. Within a few months, Dodge Brothers, Inc., will introduce a new line of motor cars, in no way conflicting with the market for Dodge Brothers present types, but occupying a considerably higher price field and produced in limited quantities.

Caldwell, of Monticello, Ill., a practicing physician for 47 years, it seemed cruel that so many constipated infants and children had to be kept "stirred up" and half sick by taking cathartic pills, tablets, salts, calomel and nasty oils. While he knew that constipation was the cause of nearly all children's little illies, he constantly advised mothers to give only a harmless laxative which would help to establish natural bowel "regularity." In Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin mothers have a regulating laxative which they can depend upon whenever a child is constipated, billious, feverish or sick from a cold, indigestion or sour stomach. All children love its pleasant taste.
