IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a C Ago. These Files Contain the only Authentic H of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange Coun 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 6, 1878 The citizens mass meeting to consider the water question, which met at Kroeger's hall on Saturday last at 3 o'clock was fairly well attended by those having an interest in the affairs of the water company. At half past 3 o'clock Mr. Theo. Rimpau called the meeting to order, Mr. Fischer acting as secretary, and proceeded to make known the result of the efforts of the committee appointed at the last meeting to solicit subscriptions to the general stock. There were reported a total of 770 shares, nearly all of which were subscribed by those living inside the town limits. It was considered that the plan of soliciting subscriptions was impracticable. Mr. Reiser considered as the most expedient mode of procedure the plan of changing the Anaheim Water Company's incorporation, thereby allowing the outsiders to become stockholders. He would have the Anaheim Water Company levy asssessments to defray all expenses. There is already a necessity of having a greater amount of water, the zanjero having during the past week reported a very considerable diminution in the com­ mpany's ditches. The Orange and Santa Ana ditches are daily over­flowing, and water is constantly going to waste. Mr. Heimann had studied the matter for sometime. He considered the project just stated the most equitable and offered a resolution providing for a committee to effect the changes in the Anaheim Water Com­ pany's corporation. The Board of Trustees would remain as here­tofore, levying assessments whenever necessary. A somewhat lengthy discussion occurred as to the resolutions passed at the last meeting. They were re-considered, however, and Mr. Pierce offered a resolution that the trustees of the Anaheim Water Com­ pany be empowered with suitable guarantees to enter into negotiations with J. W. Shardlin of the Cajon Water Company. Some debate ensued as to the advisability of leaving the power of negotiating entirely in the hands of the Anaheim Water Company's trustees.

Shandlin of the Cajon Water Company. Some debate ensued as to the advisability of leaving the power of negotiating entirely in the hands of the Anaheim Water Company's trustees. Mr. Fischer could see no reason why the trustees should not have the power as they are all gentlemen of many years' experience in this matter. The motion was carried and there being no further business for transaction, the meeting was adjourned. The trustees yesterday proceeded to the canal for the purpose of inspecting the ditch. It would be filled with water and everything effected looking to a complete understanding of the canal's capacity, its efficiency, etc. The trustees appointed to enter into negotiations with the Cajon Water Company are Messrs. Reiser, Rimpau, Fischer, Korn, Kroeger and Langenberger, all gentlemen of experience in water matters. The following items are taken from the School Marshal's report of Anaheim district: Number of children in the district under 17 years of age, 450—between 5 and 17 (the basis upon which the public school fund is apportioned), 345—under 5 years, 105. The number who have attended school during the year is 225. The age at which children are admitted in the public schools of this state is six years. The census includes all over five years of age. This difference accounts for part of the non-attendance reported. An exhibition was given last night by the scholars of the Upper Santa Ana School at the school house, under the direction of Mr. Wm. M. McFadden, teacher. There are more century plants about to blossom in this vicinity than you can shake a stick at. There are two in Mr. Luedke's garden in close proximity and it is a beautiful sight, their tall stalks standing like sentinels before the gateway. The last meeting of the Orangethorpe Literary Society was well attended. A fine program was rendered. Among the performances especially worthy of mention were songs by Miss Charlie Tarver, Miss Nellie Bancroft, L. V. Glasscock and recitations by Mrs. B. B. Smith, Nettie Metcalf and Mr. Jones. The society has adjourned to meet again the third Saturday in August. No one can visit the finely kept grounds and elegant gardens of the splendid estate of Mr. Saxton north of town without expressing feelings of admiration and pleasure. His fine mansion is surrounded with beautiful flower gardens and shady trees in which tuneful birds sing continually. The limits of the ranch are marked by rows of Monterey cypress and Australia blue gums. Of the latter a large windbreak has been formed which shields the ranch from fierce Santa Ana winds. There are many varieties of fruit and shade trees and many choice flowers and shrubs. We did not see a weed of any size on the whole place and everything seemed to be growing rapidly. Two American aloes or so-called century plants attracted one's attention. They are about to blossom and their stalks are 30 feet in height. (The Saxton place here referred to now belongs to John Pfeninger and D. C. Singleton. The two ranches are on the state highway between this city and Fullerton and are now among the most beautifully kept of the orange plantations in this entire section.) is surrounded with beautiful flower gardens and shady trees in which tuneful birds sing continually.

G. Plato. The salmon is selling rapidly as it is found to be a very superior article. Send in your orders. A calico ball will be given by the Magnolia Social Club at their hall in Anaheim on the evening of July 4th, 1878. A fine string band has been engaged, and as will be seen from the following list of committees, all the arrangements are in competent hands. Committee of Arrangements—M. A. Mendelson, G. D. Plato, Fred W. Athearn, Adolph Rimpau. Reception Committee—Fred Langenberger, A. W. Steinhart, Fred Rimpau, L. W. Kirby. Floor Committee—Fred Hartung, C. E. Leonard, J. J. Hill, N. Willard. A cordial invitation is extended to the friends and patrons of the club to attend this ball—Tickets (admitting lady and gentleman), $1.50. Ice cream and cake will be served in the hall during the evening by Harry Hanna. The Ladies' Sewing Society will meet at Mrs. Dr. Kellogg's residence tomorrow instead of at Mrs. Olden's as heretofore announced. One hundred and seventeen votes were polled at the election for School Trustee on Saturday. Fred W. Athearn was the successful candidate, he receiving 79 votes. John Fischer received 115 votes for Assessor and Collector. Mr. Chas. Hilmer advertises for sale five houses and five lots in the town of Anaheim, fronting on Center street, will be sold cheap for cash, or will be exchanged for sheep of good quality. The title of the property is perfect in every respect and the improvements are in good order. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 2, 1903 On the morning of the Fourth of July the President will send from his Sagamore Hill home at Oyster Bay a message formally opening the Pacific Cable to the Philippine Islands. The message to be transmitted will be one of greeting and congratulation to Governor Taft. A return message will be sent by Governor Taft. Mme. Modjeska, the noted actress, arrived on Monday to spend the summer at her mountain home, Arden, in Santiago Canyon. Her husband, Count Bozenta, accompanied her, and for a few days they will be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. James S. Rice at Tustin. Mme. Modjeska is in good spirits and excellent health, with the exception of a slight cold. Her plans for the future, she says, are entirely unsettled, and she has nothing definite to announce with the exception that she expects to go upon the stage again next season, provided her health permits. She anticipates a pleasant summer at her ranch and will devote her time to study and rest. The Young America baseball nine of this city defeated the Santa Ana nine on the home grounds on Sunday afternoon by a score of 9 to 1. Only five innings were played. Immediately after the game Loara and Orange crossed bats, resulting in favor of the former by a score of 13 to 9. Orange defeated the Young Americas on the same grounds the week before by a score of 11 to 8. Syril Tipton, the young son of Attorney Tipton, who some days ago caught his right thumb in a chopping machine, has his arm in a sling, but will not have to suffer amputation of the all but severed portion, as the same is growing on again and promises to become a first-class thumb, as good as new, whereof Syril is The Young America baseball nine of this city defeated the Santa Ana nine on the home grounds on Sunday afternoon by a score of 9 to 1.

A family re-union was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Beazley of Los Angeles on Monday last. Among those present were Rev. Beazley and Mrs. W. T. Brown of Fullerton, and Wm. P. Beazley of San Francisco. Charles Federman has erected new screen doors at his dry goods emporium, and there are few days when Charley is not seen obstructing the sidewalk in opening up new goods or receiving consignments of the newest of everything in his line. We acknowledge the receipt of an invitation to the commencement exercises of the American School of Osteopathy in Kirksville, Missouri, sent us by W. W. Adams, who is a member of the graduating class. Mr. Adams formerly resided in this city and was for a time on the Board of Directors of the Water Company. A report was received from Santa Ana yesterday afternoon to the effect that Horace McPhee of the Blade had purchased the Herald, which would be absorbed by the older publication. McWilliams & Dunn have a force of carpenters at work on the new Lutheran Church now building near the Central School house. The building is of frame and will cost about $1500. McWilliams and Dunn also have secured the contract for alterations in the Evangelical Church on Center street opposite the Christian Church, the cost of which is also about $1500. The cannery began its season's operations on Tuesday, when attention was given to very fine apricots. The fruit comes from this neighborhood and the cots will keep the cannery running three weeks or a month. Manager Weisel says that after that the cannery will go on peaches and pears, of which there is a good crop, and afterwards on tomatoes, which promise a heavy yield and will doubtless keep the works going until frost stops them in the bad old winter time. Edmund Cohen is spending a few days in town with friends. Edmund is growing up in the big city of Los Angeles, which he says he likes pretty near as well as Anaheim. E. Turk returned some days ago from a visit to Germany, where he attended the meetings of the inter-national congress of chemists at Berlin. He was absent ten weeks. Matt Everhardy and wife came down from Los Angeles on Sunday to attend the services incident to the dedication of St. Boniface Church.

Mrs. E. M. Carver and daughter, Miss Alice Carver, returned yesterday from a visit of several days with relatives and friends in Los Angeles and Long Beach. Bishop Conaty dedicated the new St. Boniface Catholic Church on Sunday morning in the presence of a congregation that filled the edifice to the doors, overflowed upon the stairway leading to the main entrance and extended into the front yard upon the sidewalk. A solemn mass was celebrated beginning at 10 o'clock. Mass was participated in by Rev. F. J. Dubbel, pastor of the church, celebrant; Rev. J. J. Clifford, deacon; Rev. Murhaugh, sub-deacon; Rev. Molony, master of ceremonies. Rt. Rev. Thomas J. Conaty, D. D., occupied a seat in the sanctuary. Deacons of honor were Rev. P. Stetters, Rev. J. O'Keefe, Rev. J. Gorrell, Rev. J. P. Kaiser. At the conclusion of Mass, Bishop Conaty preached an eloquent sermon. Seldom has a more scholarly or impressive sermon been heard in Anaheim.

MANN 210 S. Los Angeles St., Anaheim Phone 43 246 Perils of Childhood I must be all of twenty years ago that mother first gave me Syrup Pepsin. For those Fevers, Colds and Bowel Troubles of Childhood How time flies. My good mother has gone to her rest, but I have faithfully relied upon her judgment and have given Syrup Pepsin to my two children since they were born. It is certainly a noble medicine and never fails-of its purpose. I like to recommend it. And in the Evening of Life When age comes creeping on, with bowels relaxed, muscles weak, digestion poor and blood thinned, then is when constipation does its evil work in a night. Dr. Coldwell's Syrup Pepsin is so palatable, sets so well in the stomach, works so easily, so gently, so kindly with old folks as to accomplish its purpose without grit, pain or other distress. For illiousness, sour acidity, vomiting, headache, fevers, colds and constipation from failure to all age Syrup Pepsin is recommended everywhere and sold by all druggists.
