These Files Contain the only Authentic H of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange Coun 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, MAY 25, 1878 The Anaheim Literary Society met at Magnolia hall, Thursday evening, when a pleasant evening's entertainment was provided. Mr. Stephenson favored the society with a very excellent declamation. A spiritual debate upon the question, "Resolved, That poverty is more often the result of misfortune than mismanagement," was participated in on the affirmative by Messrs. Guinn and Payne, on the negative by Messrs. Beebe and Henderson. The Anaheim Amateur Society met at the residence of Rev. A. G. L. Trew on Monday evening. The news had gone abroad that "The Merchant of Venice" was to be read, and the attendance consequently was large. During the course of the evening the fact was developed that several members of the society are fine Shakespearian readers. On next Monday evening the society will meet at Mr. Yarndley's house and discuss Dickens and his works. Choice selections will be read from the writing of that greatest of all novelists. Deputy Sheriff Berham has received information that the store of J. W. Anderson, of Orange, was robbed on last Friday night. The thieves gained an entrance by breaking open two doors in the rear of the building. About $75 worth of goods were stolen, consisting of a suit of clothes worth about $25, a box of pen knives, boots, gloves, etc. No clue as yet has been obtained to the identity of the thieves.

Mr. Oscar Macy, who has returned from a visit of some weeks' duration at San Clemente island informs us that fully 9000 sheep perished there last season on account of the drouth. About 7000 still remain on the island, all of which are in a flourishing condition, the grasses being very luxuriant. Guthrie, the fireman on the Anaheim train, fell from the engine the other day as the train was passing Rubio's. He was in the act of throwing a piece of coal at a dog on the track. He was not seriously injured, although he received a bad shaking up. Major Truman, the special agent of the postoffice department for the Pacific coast, has recommended the establishment of two new postoffices in Los Angeles county; one to be called Citrus, located three miles east of Azusa, and another at Machado, on the L. A. & I. railroad at La Ballona. A post route is also recommended between Spadra and Citrus. After a remarkably brief experience as a journalist, Rev. H. R. Wiley has sold the Santa Ana News to E. F. Ferguson, a former attache of The Gazette. In order to give the new proprietor an opportunity to rehabilitate the concern, the paper will not appear until June 1. It will hereafter be known as the Santa Ana Herald. Ramon Vejar brought to our office last evening a veritable curiosity. This was a small chicken, just hatched, which had four legs and two heads. If the chick had lived, it would have been a phenomenal phenomenon. A rumor was current on the streets yesterday that the heirs of Teodosia Yorba were about to bring suit to recover 6000 acres of the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. It is further stated that the tract embraces part of the town of Santa Ana. At the auction sale on Saturday, Messrs. Koenig and Osterman purchased the old lumber yard lot for $1550.

He has also changed his occupation and is now a clerk in a hardware store in San Francisco. It is proposed to elect Col. J. J. Ayers, editor of the Los Angeles Express, a member of the constitutional convention. We are at a loss to find fitting words with which to endorse the suggestion. Colonel Ayers is an able, honest and noble man, and we hope to have the opportunity of giving him our support. The Board of Supervisors held a special meeting on Wednesday. They resolved to take 30 acres from Dr. Griffin for the poor farm and hospital. A plan for the hospital was adopted. this place, has renounced Episcopalism and joined the Catholic church.

A dispatch was received here this morning announcing trouble between a force of white workingmen on the Santa Anita Ranch and a gang of Chinamen sent to take their places. Rumor said the white men had got tired of working for one dollar and a half a day and paying five or six dollars a week of it to Lucky Baldwin for board and lodging. They struck and he imported Chinamen. It is said the Chinamen’s tent was fired into on Monday night and one of them killed. Tax Collector Kremer has been in town for a couple of days, collecting licenses. This is a convenience which business men appreciate. It has heretofore been necessary to send the money to the collector’s office in Los Angeles.

Thirty thousand gallons of brandy are stored at the United States bonded warehouse in Los Angeles. A large amount of corn grown in and around Westminster is now being hauled to Anaheim Landing for shipment to Mexican ports. It is all re-sacked at the Landing, being put into large coffee sacks. These sacks are not filled tight, but are left loose enough to be carried by pack mules into the interior. Each weighs about 250 pounds and, being loose, they make nice things to handle. The sacks will be filled with coffee in Mexico and returned to San Francisco. The rainfall for the season, up to yesterday morning, was 17 11-16 inches. It was showery on Sunday, and during the night it rained 3-16 of an inch. On Monday night 1-4 inch fell.

Riley, state controller, reports. He issued his annual report on the financial transactions of cities and counties. Leaving state government out of the reckoning, each man, woman and child paid $95.61, the figures show. The counties spent $308,839,142.30, as compared with $287,466,705.49 the previous fiscal year. The cities, not to be outdone, jumped to $207,302,492.89 from $180,844,007.82. What did they do with the money? Here's how Controller Riley's statisticians answer the question: The counties spent $16,281,847.55 for general government, $9,583,949.14 for protection to person and property, $3,-005,698.58 for conservation of health, $196,269.10 for sanitation and promotion of cleanliness, $21,408,031.22 for highways, $2,161,303.39 for bridges, $1,072,762.12 for other road structures, $18,-478,051.48 for charities and correction, $128,372,225.50 for education, $10,147,-368.15 for trust funds, $14,290,592.41 for payments of interest, $11,591,498.92 for redemption of debt and $6,788,319.38 for agency transactions for the state. The cities paid out $11,156,885.08 for general government, $32,785,417.82 for protection to persons and property, $1,-965,649.29 for conservation of health, $5,130,575.74 for sanitation and promotion of cleanliness, $24,518,149.47 for highways and $8,923,019.63 for recreation. The controller calls attention to the fact that expenditures for education have increased 202.4 per cent since 1920, and represent 41.7 per cent of the total county expenditures. Recreation has jumped 474.5 per cent in the same seven years, and conservation of health 281.6 per cent. And the largest rate of increase in municipal payments is for sanitation and promotion of cleanliness. Johnny Schumacher, who has driven his father's dairy wagon ever since he was knee-high-to-a-grasshopper, contemplates going into the railroad business and will go to braking for the Southern Pacific. Johnny is as good as they make them, and we have no doubt will attain success in his new venture. Good luck to him. Prof. Edgar W.

The professor will be assisted by Miss Estelle Heartt, the well-known contralto singer of Los Angeles; Miss Mable Bishop, and his sister, Miss Ruby Crowther. The concert will be one of first-class order of merit. Members of the Ladies' Euchre Club enjoyed a delightful afternoon last Thursday at the hospitable home of Mrs. J. W. Cole.
