IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Cycle Ago. These Files Contain the only Authentic History of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1878 One hundred and thirty-six votes were polled at the municipal election on Monday with the following result: Trustees—Tim Boege, 128; L.

Cahill, 125. Marshal—L. Wartenberg, 115. The Stella Social Club of Santa Ana gave a ball on the evening of May 1, to which they kindly invited The Gazette reporter. The arrangements were perfect, and every exertion was made to insure pleasure to the guests. The supper given by our old friend Layman, of the Santa Ana hotel, was a good one and well appreciated. We see no reason why our folks should not more generally attend the festivities in Santa Ana, and we cordially invited all the members of the Stella Club to attend our socials, and assure them a hearty welcome. The following named gentlemen have been suggested to represent this county in the constitutional convention: Judge Widney, Senator McClay, General Mansfield, J. De Barth Shorb, Colonel Stevens of San Gabriel Mission, Col. G. C. Gibbs, Judge A. J. King, Judge Lindley, William H. Workman, William H. Spurgeon, Judge Brunson, Judge Thompson, Colonel Godfrey, James McFadden, General Volney E. Howard, General Stoneman, and Major Isaac Kindley. For a further list of candidates see the Great Register.

Tomales has a cheese factory, which is running in splendid style. Eighty to one hundred and fifty cheeses are being shipped tri-weekly, the prices ranging first quality. We hope soon to chronicle the daily shipment of cheeses from the Garden Grove factory. It is with regret we announce that our esteemed correspondent, F. E. Webber, better known as "Corydon," has been seriously ill for the past week and unable to write a line. We earnestly hope that he will speedily recover his health. The Los Angeles city funds are to be farmed out to the highest bidder. It would probably relieve our worthy treasurer, Mr. Rimpau, of a vast responsibility if the trustees of Anaheim would adopt a similar course with the municipality's money. James M. Scott killed Mordecai Stevens, on Monday, at San Dimas canyon, by hitting him on the head with an ax, and afterwards shooting him three times with a pistol. The murderer has not yet been arrested. Between seven and eight o'clock on Thursday night, a half dozen or more boys were working off their superfluous vitality and dirt by bathing in the ditch near the corner of Los Angeles and Aguste streets. The Santa Monica Outlook man says he saw a turnip the other day that measured 30 inches in circumference and weighs 6½ pounds. It grew in the garden of W. K. Potter of Santa Monica, and he calls it a "whopper" for this season of the year. The item is a "whopper" for any time of year. The wages of the laborers on Lucky Baldwin's Santa Anita ranch for the last four months foot up to $16,000. The chief of police of Los Angeles visits the saloons of nights and orders the boys who frequent those places to go home. Forty pounds of honey and two swarms of bees were taken from the roof of St. Michael's church a few days ago. The cupola of the Masonic hall, which has been the abiding place of bees for some years, is expected to yield an immense crop. Mr. Kenyon Cox arrived last Saturday in Anaheim. He will now take active interest in the affairs of A. Guy Smith & Company, of which firm he is a partner. The family of Mr. Morris Calisher accompanied him to Arizona on Saturday. Their residence will, we are informed, be occupied by Rev. Mr. Trew. A man named Burroughs was arrested on Monday night by Mr. Kenyon Cox arrived last Saturday in Anaheim. He will now take active interest in the affairs of A. Guy Smith & Company, of which firm he is a partner. The family of Mr. Morris Calisher accompanied him to Arizona on Saturday. Their residence will, we are informed, be occupied by Rev. Mr. Trew. A man named Burroughs was arrested on Monday night by Officer Bohn, who charged him with firing a pistol in the street. A new silver mine of great richness has been discovered in the Julian district, in San Diego county, between Hot Springs and San Felipe. The ledge shows 500 feet on the surface. Hellman, Hass & Company of Los Angeles are now loading a train of cars at Downey with grain to be shipped to Mazatlan. This makes the fifth cargo of grain shipped by them to Mexico. Messrs. Snow and Adams, who purchased the old home place of Colonel Tustin, between Santa Ana and Tustin City, have one of the finest places in this part of the county. They have recently completed an elegant residence costing about $3500. They have in their orchard 1018 orange trees, 214 lemons, and peaches, apples, plums, figs, citrons, apricots, pears, and limes—altogether 650 trees—besides these they have in heldge 1400 limes. The great International Exhibition of 1878 was opened in Paris, on the first instant, with great eclat, the programme being carried out as published. President MacMahon reached the exhibition at 2 o'clock in the afternoon in the state carriage, escorted by his military household, and was welcomed by Teisserene D. Bort, minister of commerce, and the exhibition was declared to be open amid salvos of artillery and music by the bands. The marshal rode at the head of the brilliant procession, which included the Prince of Wales, ex-King Amadeus, and the crown princes of Denmark and the Netherlands, bodies of the Institute, the Legion of Honor, counsellors and magistrates, senators, deputies, and clergy. The buildings were gaily decorated with the flags of all nations, and an immense crowd was congregated. The American section, though unfinished, compares favorably with the others. The American art department is the best ever shown abroad by this country. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1903 The will of the late Mrs. Metz bequeathed to Mrs. N. Hart 30 feet of unimproved property on Center street, running from the premises occupied by Hatfield & Stock to the lot owned by S. S. Federman, on the corner west of the city hall. On this lot is the small frame residence formerly occupied by deceased, which was built forty years ago. There are other small buildings upon the property. The lot itself is one of the most valuable in the city. Mrs. Hart also gets $4000 in cash. To Miss Eleanora Parker, daughter of Mrs. Barbara Parker, who is attending high school, she willed $500. Joseph Lieb, 12-year-old son of Dominik Lieb, receives $500 with compound interest until he is 21 years of age. Miss Rose Davis, daughter of Philip Davis, formerly of this city, also receives $500. The remainder of the estate will be divided among distant relatives. Mr. Hart, who has been named executor in the will, estimates the value of the property at $30,000. Regular meeting of the board of trustees of the city of Anaheim held April 28, 1903. Trustees present, Schneider, Rust, Berdrow, Fletcher; absent, Weisel. Ordinance No. 140, providing for the numbering of buildings, was called up for consideration and upon roll call passed.

Superintendent of Streets Steadman reported that for street grading and cleaning an extra horse was needed. The matter was left with the public improvement committee with power to act. The clerk was instructed to send out notices regarding street cleaning ordinance, and request Trustee Weisel to have survey made of South Los Angeles and other streets for curb line. Bills to the amount of $97.97 were ordered paid. Adjourned. Mrs. Gustave Hansen and daughter, Miss Clara Hansen, entertained on Friday afternoon at a hearts party. The beautiful home was elaborately decorated. At the close of the game a delightful repast was served and the prizes were distributed. Mrs. Ida Crist winning the first, a cut-glass salad bowl. Mrs. Rust won the second, a decorated vase, and Miss Dora Zeyn the third, a fancy pin cushion. Captain Herman Stern of Company E has received orders from regimental headquarters in Los Angeles to parade his company, along with others comprising the Seventh regiment, as an escort to President Roosevelt on his arrival in Los Angeles on Friday of next week. The company will go to Los Angeles on a special train and will be accompanied by those at Santa Ana, Talbert, and San Diego. All the companies of the First brigade will be in attendance. Miss Ethel Spencer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Spencer of Orangethorpe, was married yesterday to Robert Strain of Placentia. The couple are among the best known young people of Orange county and have hosts of friends who tender their congratulations. Ed Zeus returned some days ago from the Colorado desert, where he has been for six weeks past principally for the purpose of raising an elegant crop of mesquite whiskers, which he declares with emphasis he will not consent under any circumstances to remove. In this his friends think he has made a mistake. He has been chosen delegate to the grand lodge of Odd Fellows, soon to assemble in San Francisco, and leaves shortly for the north as a representative of the local lodge. If he returns with those whiskers, we miss our guess. Shoot 'em, Ed; shoot 'em. Later—A persistent report prevailed yesterday afternoon that Ed had determined to sacrifice them. We breathe easier. L. W. Kirby has sold his beautiful home place at Peralta to E. W. Pyne of Los Angeles for $18,000. The ranch contains 87 acres and is located in the picturesque Peralta footfalls and is one of Orange county's ideal homes. Mr. Kirby has lived there with his family for 22 years. He has removed to Los Angeles, where he will in the future reside. Joseph Helmsen was in the superior court on Friday as administrator of the estate of the Bittner minors.

Albert Renner, while returning home on his bicycle at 8 o'clock on Saturday evening, collided with a passing vehicle on South Los Angeles street and sustained severe injuries, including a sprained ankle, which has since kept him to his home. Mrs. Cora Browning has been quite ill for some days past with a serious attack of tonsilitis. She is convalescing and yesterday was greatly improved. M. Schulte was in town from his ranch on Orangethorpe avenue on Tuesday. Bernard Navarro and Miss Adelide Andrada of Yorba were married at St. Boniface church here on Saturday. Father Kaiser was the officiating clergyman. School Superintendent of Schools Nichols visited the grammar schools in this city on Friday last. He expressed satisfaction at the progress made. Professor Little informs us schools will be out on Friday of next week to permit the children to attend the reception to President Roosevelt in Los Angeles on that day. G. Beer of Olive has purchased the Mrs. Truendle place and will move his family here. J. B. Neff was some days ago in consultation with a Santa Cara valley fruit grower, who reported the apricot crop in his section half a crop. Mr. Neff places the yield of this fruit in this county at a third of a crop. The price of dried apricots left over from last year is 5 cents per pound, while three years ago the price was as high as 11 cents. Mr. Neff looks for a raise in prices.

My good mother has gone to her rest, but I have been well upon her judgment and have given Syrup Pepsin once since they were born. It is certainly a noble medicine and never fails of its purpose.
