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 The news in this column is taken from The Gazette of date February 8, 1877, and refers to the fire which destroyed the office the night of January 17, 1877. Out of evil there comes good. So out of the total destruction of our stock, machinery, etc., will our patrons reap a benefit. Directly after the fire which consumed our entire office, Mr. Melrose left for San Francisco, and the result of his visit is that we can today confidently announce to our friends and patrons that we reopen with a complete outfit of the latest and best class. A long and varied experience has taught us just what is wanted to fill the wants of our customers, and we are proud to say that a personal superintendence of the selection of presses and material of all kinds enables us to guarantee that all work entrusted to us will be done in a manner that will equal anything obtainable out of San Francisco. We have given most careful attention to the selection of a large and varied stock of first-class designs in type. We have procured presses of the very best makers, and all our material is in keeping with the machinery. During our visit to the city we inspected the modus operandi in the best job offices there and thoroughly posted ourselves in all the intricacies of the art. Our patrons will find us up to the times in every branch of our business, and in the new and superior class of work we are now able to turn out they will derive the benefit of our loss. The great advantages of being able to purchase an office perfect in every detail will be realized by our customers. Everything in our office has been purchased by Mr. Melrose personally, and after careful consideration of the various designs in machinery and type as seen in different offices.

Mrs. tions, being her ski's "Minuet," part: Florence Chappel, Gertie We are just a little bit proud of the celerity we have displayed in presenting The Gazette to its readers in two weeks from the time the former office was destroyed. On Wednesday morning, while the fire was still burning, Mr. Melrose started for San Francisco and arrived in that city at 2 p.m. on the following day. By 10 o'clock of the same day he had selected a complete newspaper office; and during all that night men were at work packing type, boxing presses, cutting leads, etc. The next day (Friday) was devoted to selecting the material for a job office, and at 10 o'clock on Saturday morning the entire outfit was on its way to Anaheim, where the major part of it arrived on Monday night. The work of putting the massive machinery in position and in sorting and putting in their proper places the numberless fonts of type took several days. But, notwithstanding the haste with which all this was done, we venture to state that a more conveniently arranged and thoroughly useful office cannot be found anywhere. Many a time and oft have we indulged in speculations as to the manner in which we would fit out a printing office, should the opportunity present itself. The opportunity (unfortunately) having presented itself, we carried out the plans we had so long been dreaming about, and when the foundry was reached we were able to tell the salesmen just what we wanted. It is only this familiarity with our business and its requirements that enables us to issue The Gazette so soon after the conflagration. In this connection we cannot refrain from quoting the following paragraph from the Los Angeles Express of the twenty-third instant: "The Anaheim Gazette office was destroyed by fire last Wednesday morning, not an available type having been saved from the flames. Mr. Melrose, one of the proprietors, started for San Francisco the same day; purchased an entire new outfit of material, and arrived here this morning by steamer. The new material reached Anaheim last night and on Tuesday next, two weeks from the time of the fire, The Gazette will again make its appearance. This is what may be called quick work." Friend Fisher of the Santa Monica Outlook, himself a thorough printer and capable of appreciating the difficulties of the situation, after referring to the announcement of the speedy reappearance of The Gazette, says: "We admire the pluck and energy displayed by Melrose and Athearn, which is but another form of the vim and grit that has always made The Gazette a wide-awake local paper. We add our sympathies, gentlemen, for your misfortune, and good wishes for that success which we think you are certain to achieve." new material reached Anaheim last night and on Tuesday next, two weeks from the time of the fire, The Gazette will again make its appearance.

Workmen were employed yesterday in overhauling the Coast line stages and fixing them for winter use. Los Angeles has a Young Men's Christian Association, and it elected officers last night. Among the visitors at the circus we noticed Col. J. J. Ayers of the Express: The youngest child of James McFadden of Santa Ana died on Saturday morning. Rev. Father Mutt of San Juan has been visiting in Santa Ana during the week. The latest sensation in Los Angeles was 40 Apache Indians, who paraded the streets yesterday, attired in their war-paint. They were imported for Wood's opera house. A number of ladies met in Washington the other day to abolish war. All right, let 'em go ahead and do it. Mr. F. W. Koll of Los Angeles was among the passengers by train last night. Fifteen persons are expected from the east by train tonight. They will settle in Gospel Swamp.

Godfrey is among the most successful insurance solicitors in the state and writes up as many policies as the best of them. When he gets hold of a subject it is all off—he writes out a policy and the victim is happy ever afterward. Anaheim lodge No. 199, I. O. O. F., installed the following officers on Tuesday evening: E.

If you are using figured curtains in a room, choose a material with a background the same color as the walls but slightly darker. The principal color in the design of the curtain material should repeat the color of the rug or upholstery. Use figured curtains only when the walls give a plain effect. All bean soups should have a little flour added to them as a binder to prevent the thick part from settling to the bottom.

Photographer Howard has presented us with a photograph of part of the city taken from the tower of the Del Campo. The picture is one of artistic merit, as good as could be done by any Los Angeles artist. Mr. Howard reports an increasing business, and sees no reason why a first-class photographer may not enjoy a lucrative trade hereabout.

Caldwell, of Monticello, Ill., a practicing physician for 47 years, it seemed cruel that so many constipated infants and children had to be kept "stressed up" and half sick by taking cathartic pills, tablets, salts, colonsal 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."
