IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Cent Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic Histo of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1877 The members of the Anaheim Literary Society met at Kroeger hall, pursuant to adjournment, Mr. A. G. Beebe in the chair. The meeting was called to order and the minutes of the previous meeting read, corrected and approved. The president delivered a stirring inaugural address, replete with useful hints and suggestions to the members. R. C. Glover was then admitted as a member of the society. T. S. Grimshaw gave a reading, and T. A. Saxon gave a laughable anecdote, in F. W. Athearn's place. The chair appointed as a committee to decide upon the merits of the debate, Messrs. T. A. Saxon, M. A. Mendelson and George Greeley; and as a program committee to serve for the present term, M. A. Mendelson, W. M. McFadden and R. C. Glover. The following question was then discussed: "Resolved, that superstition is more baneful to society than skepticism." Theodore Lynill opened for the affirmative, followed by his opponent E. F. Cahill. After a number of interesting speeches, pro and con, the committee gave its decision in favor of the negative. Mr. T. A. Saxon, being requested, then delivered a recitation from Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," which was received with marked approbation by the audience. The question for discussion at the next meeting is, "Resolved, That the manufacture of spirituous and malt liquors is injurious to society at large." Affirmative, Messrs. T. W. Cook, R. C. Glover, Fred Rimpau and T. S. Grimshaw; negative, Messrs. M. A. Mendelson, T. J. Cartright, Theodore Lynill and D. R. Payne. Declamation, Messrs. R. Brown and F. W. Athearn.

The society then adjourned to meet at Kroeger's hall on the evening of the fifth of March. Mr. Crowther informed us yesterday that his home-cured hams and bacon are meeting with a ready sale, and that in order to supply the demand he must enter into the business in a much more extended scale than he anticipated. Among sales recently made was a large lot of bacon to a firm in Arizona. Dr. James McCoy of Westminster has recorded his certificate of diploma from the College of Western Reserve, Ohio, dated February 24, 1847. A tempting display of oranges from the orchards of Messrs. Gus Davis and Theodore Reiser was on exhibition at the store of A. G. Beebe yesterday. Mr. D. E. Miles has been interviewing our merchants on the subject of forming an association having for its objects the care and advancement of the business interests of Anaheim—a sort of Chamber of Commerce. The idea is very generally regarded as a good one, and a meeting will soon be called to place the society on a permanent footing. Gaddy & Lewis have opened a branch of the Planters stable on Center street, near the railroad depot. Plato yesterday received a consignment of spiced bacon, a new and toothsome article of diet. The schooner Bobolink arrived at Wilmington on Friday night with 200,000 feet of lumber for A. Guy Smith & Company. The new brick building of F. Conrad is rapidly approaching completion. The bricklayers are doing good work. We were shown on Friday a fine picture representing a birdseye view of Anaheim, drawn by E. S. Glover. It is intended to lithograph the picture, provided a sufficient number of subscribers can be secured. We understand it will be necessary to raise about $300 before the work can be commenced. The battery case preferred against Marshal Wartenberg by a Chinaman whom he had arrested was yesterday dismissed by Judge Clark upon a motion of the prosecuting attorney. The fire bell is now in position on the roof of the bank building. A rope is attached to the bell and hangs down by the side of the building, so that when occasion requires the bell can be rung without difficulty. The condition of R. G. McComb is still precarious. Dr. Hardin informs us that his disease is dropsy. The Masonic ball, on the evening of the twenty-second, was a complete success. The hall was beautifully decorated with wreaths and festoons of boughs and leaves of the orange and The fire bell is now in position on the roof of the bank building.

Dr. Hardin informs us that his disease is dropsy. The Masonic ball, on the evening of the twenty-second, was a complete success. The hall was beautifully decorated with wreaths and festoons of boughs and leaves of the orange and other evergreen trees. Appropriate to the occasion, a large picture of the Father of His Country, in Masonic regalia, hung on the wall. A carriage, well supplied with robes, brought the ladies to the hall, where their every want was supplied by the reception committee. The music was supplied by Messrs. Crowther, Higgins, Mealey and Christian. The ladies of Anaheim had made good use of a long time given for preparation for the affair, and all were richly and tastefully dressed. At 12 o'clock the party adjourned to the Planters hotel, and we are informed that over a hundred persons sat down to the well prepared tables. At about 4 o'clock in the morning the guests wearied with dancing, fun and frolic and retired to their homes. There are several well borers at work in the Garden Grove district. Messrs. Teel and Crittenden finished a well yesterday which gave a flow of two inches over the top of the pipe. Born—In Santa Ana, February 20, to the wife of Isaac Yost, a son. In Anaheim, February 19, to the wife of Louis Wartenberg, a son. In Westminster, February 9, to the wife of W. Martin, a daughter. The Favorite Salad Crop California leads in volume of lettuce production, followed by Colorado, New York, Arizona and Florida. The order of importance changes each season, due to weather conditions, although California always takes first place. Last year these five states shipped about 90 per cent of the total carlot lettuce supply. Shipments are made up chiefly of the compact, substantial head lettuce of such well known types as the Iceberg from the west and the Big Boston from the eastern shipping region. Strong Fertilizer A concentrated fertilizer differs from the ordinary mixed fertilizer in being richer in those constituents which increase the growth of crops. In the ordinary fertilizer these constituents amount to only about 15 per cent on an average. When the amount present is increased to between 15 and 30 per cent the mixture is called a "high analysis" fertilizer. In a concentrated fertilizer the fertilizer constituent amounts to 30 per cent or more. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1902 The marriage of John R. Gardiner and Miss Stella Dean, which took place at Fullerton, on Wednesday evening, February 19, was one of the happy events of the season. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Arthur Farnsworth of San Diego, a relative of the family, at 8 o'clock. Miss Eva Crowell and Lil Gardiner attended the contracting parties while the ceremony was being performed. The bride was dressed in a gray cloth traveling suit trimmed with silk and applique. After the ceremony, refreshments were served and a general good time enjoyed up to a late hour, when the happy couple took a carriage for Santa Ana, from which place they went to Santa Barbara for a short visit. They will be at home to their friends after March 19. The glorious rains have come, and the farmers are jubilant. The most protracted season of drought ever known in Southern California has been broken by a most splendid rain, which goes far toward placing the season among the most favorable ever experienced in the county. Rain fell heavily, beginning at 10 o'clock Friday night and continuing at intervals until midnight. To noon, Saturday, the total was 1.33 inches. Showers continued on Monday, and on Tuesday the storm set in in earnest, 1.11 inches fell up to midnight. Yesterday morning the sun peeped out from behind the clouds for the first time since Friday. Mr. Darling measured 2.89 inches for the storm, and for the season 6.43. The city trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening. Present: Helmsen Fay and Weisel; absent: Schneider and Dickel. ROTATION BENEFITS Crop rotation is beneficial in a number of ways. It aids in controlling weeds and certain crop pests and diseases, and may render manure and chemical fertilizers more effective. It increases the soil supply of organic matter and nitrogen, improves tilth, and conserves the soil reserve of plant nutrients. Furthermore, the different crops in the rotation may in themselves exert beneficial effects on those which follow. A man in New York City the other day refused to pay the barber because the barber failed to give him a hot towel. Most of the men we know would rather pay not to get one.

The ordinance committee failed to report the ordinance raising saloon licenses. It seems probable the entire matter will be shifted to the new board, which will be elected in April. The ordinance committee reported Ordinance No. 139, calling a municipal election April 14 for election of city trustees, clerk, treasurer and marshal. Polls will open at 6 o'clock and remain open until 5 o'clock. Polling place, city hall. Inspectors, Charles Hille, A. H. Cargill. Judges, Theodore Rimpau; J. S. Howard. Clerks, J. S. Hatfield, Fred C. Spencer. Ballot clerks, C. A. Boege, Ralph Hunter. Billy Renner is home from the Philippines, after an absence of three years. Billy enlisted in the regular army at the call of his country, and saw plenty of service in the islands. He is putting in time shaking hands with his many friends hereabout. Miss George Bailey won a gold medal offered by the Phoenix, A. T., chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution for the best essay on a battle of the revolution. The medal was presented on Washington's birthday. Mrs. H. D. Polhemus and son, Dean, left on Saturday morning for their home in Santa Barbara, after a visit of three weeks with relatives and friends. Mr. Rae made a trip up the river at Olive, yesterday, to see how the rains affected that water course. He found quite a volume of water running under the bridge. Farmers east of town were taking advantage of it by running the thick, muddy water, laden as it was with fertilizing material, upon their land. Mr. Rae thinks the abundant rainfall and water running in the river cannot but have a beneficial effect upon wells in this neighborhood. Sam Federman was in town from Los Angeles one day last week. He says there are so many people in the angelic town it reminds him of Chicago. Herman Harris, prominent Santa Ana dry goods merchant, was in town one day last week on business and pleasure combined. Mrs. Mosseman was a visitor in town from Los Angeles during the week, the guest of her daughter, Mrs. Arthur Lewis. Max Jacobson has returned to his home in Santa Ana, after a three weeks' visit in San Francisco. Uncle Joe Clark was in town yesterday and said, "Tell you what, that was a fine rain." C. W.

Max Jacobson has returned to his home in Santa Ana, after a three weeks' visit in San Francisco. Uncle Joe Clark was in town yesterday and said, "Tell you what, that was a fine rain." C. W. Marden is confined to his home with a severe case of la grippe. Born—To Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Norman on the twenty-second instant, a boy. O. F. Heald of Pasadena is in town, visiting his son, Bert. Cash Harvey died at his home at Delhi, two miles southwest of Santa Ana, at 6 o'clock, on Sunday morning. Cash Harvey was probably the best known man in Orange county. He had lived in the county for 30 years. Of intense partisan proclivities, he made his influence felt in the party to which he owed allegiance. The party loses a wheel-horse, his friends the counsel and association of one whom they held in the highest esteem, his family a husband and father whose loss to them is irreparable. His age was 57 years. A new flag floats over the Loara schoolhouse in place of the old one that was destroyed by being left out in the wind and rain. St. Michaels Guild will meet with Miss Fritzie Heiman on Thursday afternoon. The Ladies' Aid Society of the Presbyterian church will meet this (Thursday) afternoon at the home of Mrs. Grimshaw. Mr. French, agent of the San Joaquin ranch, was in town yesterday. He offers some very fine grazing land to rent. Supervisor Potter was in town among the crowds on Tuesday afternoon. Charles Woelke of Los Angeles was here this week visiting friends. LUMBER MEASURED WITH THE GOLDEN RULE We are ready to meet your building needs!

Caldwell, of Monticello, Ill., a practicing physician for 47 years, it seemed cruel that so many constipated infants and children had to be kept "cured up" and half sick by taking cannartic pills, tablets, salts, calamal and mastic oils. While he knew that constipation was the cause of nearly all children's little lilies, 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, bloops, feverish or sick from a cold, indigestion or sour stomach. All children love its pleasant taste.
