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 OCTOBER 5, 1878 Dr. James Ellis has had a large number of photographic views taken of his Sanitorium and will distribute them in the most prominent cities of this country and Europe as advertisements of Anaheim and the Sanitorium. Dr. Ellis came to Anaheim in 1875 and has had as guests strangers from all parts of the world. He has been a great traveler, and has visited all of the noted health resorts on the continent. The fact that he has located permanently here, and spent many thousands of dollars in improvements, is evidence sufficient to prove his faith in Anaheim and its future. He says that from personal experience the climate is preferable to that of Egypt and the usual resorts on the Mediterranean, as a place of residence for persons suffering from asthma and the early stages of catarrhal and inflammatory phthisis. The Sanatorium is built of brick, furnished with forty-one tons of furniture shipped from England and offers to the invalid an English home in a dry sunny clime, with good food and nursing at about the same cost as is charged at a first-class hotel. At the meeting of the fire company Wednesday night it was decided to accept the invitation to compete for the prize offered by the agricultural society. The selection of the ten or twelve men required to pull the hose cart will probably be made today. The company was practicing last evening. It was also decided to give a ball on the evening of Thanksgiving Day (November 27) and the following committee was appointed to make necessary arrangements: Henry Kuchel, Fritz Fischer, A. C. Roques, Dan Payne, B. H. Wright. At the meeting of the fire company Wednesday night it was decided to accept the invitation to compete for the prize offered by the agricultural society.

The clock belongs to the "wooden age" of cloc kmechanism, which departed belongs to the "wooden age" of clock mechanism, which departed must be a venerable household god. Mr. B. F. Seibert has purchased the house which he occupied for some time, and also the two adjoining lots. He will immediately commence improving the property in handsome style. Theodore Reiser leaves for San Francisco today to attend the meeting of the Grand Lodge of F. & A. M., which convenes on Tuesday. David Evey, Master of Anaheim Lodge, will also attend the session. Subscribers to the Gazette in Santa Ana and vicinity who are in arrears, will please pay the amount to W. H. Tichenal, whom we have appointed our agent for that vicinity. The management of the Black Star coal mine feel very much encouraged and are more sanguine than they have ever been since the vein in the new shaft has developed from a width of eight inches to three feet, and all the clay has run into coal. Mr. Seibert tells us that in a short time there will be a constant stream of teams between Anaheim and the mine, hauling coal for shipment. A contract is now pending to bore for the large vein. Joseph Yoch, a friend of Mr. Witte, has arrived. He is the owner of several mines near St. Louis, and is a man of experience in that business. He has purchased an interest in the Black Star mine, which fact of itself is an indication that the mine has great possibilities. The corner stone of the new Odd Fellow's hall in San Bernardio, will be laid on next Thursday, with appropriate ceremonies. A number of the members of the Anaheim lodges expect to be present. A very pleasant social gathering was held in Garden Grove Monday evening. The occasion was the tin wedding of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Chaffee, whose cozy home was tastily decorated with evergreens and floral designs. Rev. Bovard performed the wedding ceremony. There were songs and recitations by Con Howe, Mrs. Bowley, A. G. Cook, Mrs. Dr. Howe, Mrs. Hitchcock and Mrs. Johnson. Later there was a vigorous attack on the unlimited supply of excellent refreshments which were served to the guests. A number of friends from the surrounding towns were present. C. E. French, late superintendent of the San Joaquin rancho, is a welcome acquisition to the town of Santa Ana. He has bought the Paul property of Mr. Newman and has moved into it. Mr. Olden informs parties who purchased lands in the Artesia settlement that they can now secure title from the Los Angeles evergreens and floral designs. Rev. Bovard performed the wedding ceremony.

Mr. Olden informs parties who purchased lands in the Artesia settlement that they can now secure title from the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Land company for less money than if their contract had been carried out with the Artesia company. Those persons who failed to get titles from the original owners are swindled out of their money. If J. W. Carter will call at the railroad office in Anaheim he will find there $4 awaiting him. And he is expected, in gratitude for this information to immediately become a subscriber to the Gazette. T. A. Darling is again at his post as railroad agent at Anaheim. During his stay in the mountains his health was wonderfully recuperated. Gen. John C. Fremont is in Los Angeles on his way to Arizona of which territory he has been appointed governor. He informs us that he will remain in Los Angeles a few days to rest, and will then continue on his trip to Arizona. In company with Judge Carrillo, Gen. Fremont visited his old headquarters in Bell's block, where he says there is little change. He recognized the spot upon which the battery was located. In other respects the changes in the locality where, 30 years ago early in his career, so many exciting incidents occurred. Gen. Fremont is a man of barely medium height, of spare frame, of distinguished appearance. His face is surrounded by a thin fringe of whiskers which is now gray, but in early years was probably black as the raven's wing. Dr. Hardin was in Santa Ana on Tuesday when he assisted in a surgical operation performed on Thos. Hogue. The question for discussion at the next meeting of the Anaheim Literary society will be, Resolved, that the execution of Charles 1 was justifiable. Affirmative by Messrs. Guinn, Wylie Henderson. Negative by Messrs. Montgomery, Cahill and Mendelsson. Declamations by Messrs. Hanna and Leonard. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK OCTOBER 1, 1903 Saturday's noon train north bound from San Diego over the Santa Fe was two hours late owing to a disabled engine which went wrong on account of the heavy train. The evening north bound train from the same point was late an hour and a half for the same reason. Travel has been heavier of late than ever before. The gasoline engine at the Al Bittner place exploded some days ago, burning Manuel Crespin who was at work near it quite severely about the hands and face. Crespin's young son, who was near, was also burned, not so serverely, however, as his father. The engine had been running for a couple of hours, when Bittner stopped it, starting it up again a short time thereafter. The explosion immediately occurred, burning Crespin and his son as stated. The injuries were attended to and they will probably soon be recovered. Mrs. Otto Berman and her daughter, Miss Irma Berman, of San Francisco, were the guests of honor at a reception given by Mrs. F. C. McKinnie and Mrs. Anna De Frees at the home of the former in Los Angeles on Thursday afternoon. The house was tastefully decorated in carnations and ferns. About twenty old-time friends were present, some residents and some former residents of Anaheim, and many reminiscences of old time were indulged in. During the afternoon Mrs. Konig sang several selections and Miss Berman played very delightfully on the pianoforte. Delicious refreshments were served by the hostess late in the afternoon.

Wahlberg. The meeting will be held at Tustin High school next Saturday, September 29, beginning at 9:30 a.m. Mr. R. Bennett, eastern representative, and F. B. Heeney, Los Angeles agent of the exchange, will discuss plans for a broader expansion of markets this year for persimmons than ever attempted before. Association problems and experiences of the past year will be related by officers and directors of several Persimmon associations, including A. J. McFadden, Southern Orange county; J. M. Alcorn, Central Orange county; W. P. Elliott, Monrovia, and others. Prof. E. L.

Lussky, in order to give our American friends an opportunity to take part in the services and get acquainted with the new pastor. Rev. Bede A. Johnson, late of Long Beach, has been assigned by the Methodist Conference to the circuit embracing Anaheim, Clair and Buena Park. Rev. Johnson comes highly recommended. Ira McAuley is recovering from an attack of appendicitis. Ira was employed at the Buena Park condensed milk factory when taken ill some days ago. He is now on the way to recovery. S. Armor of Orange and M. Nission of Santa Ana were in town on Thursday attending a meeting of the litigation committee of the two water companies. The two gentlemen had just returned from Ogden, where they attended the national irrigation meeting. Clay Kellogg was in town on Saturday in his automobile, and with him were nine little offshoots of the clan of Kellogg, five of his own, four belonging to other members of the family. No race suicide with the Kelloggs. Gus Langenberger has been here this week from San Francisco visiting his mother, Mrs. C. Langenberger. He departed on Tuesday for Chino to visit with relatives and friends. Rev. Johnson, retiring pastor of the Methodist church, has been placed on the supernumerary list by the conference because of serious trouble with his eyes, he being affected with cataracts. C. H. Smith of Fullerton has been awarded the contract to build the new Catholic church at Oxnard. The mill work will be done here by Brown and Dauser.

Records of the division show a particularly large number of serious accidents each year during the early part of the wet season. Division officials believe most of the accidents could have been prevented had motorists realized that they were driving under entirely new conditions and had adjusted themselves to these conditions. Skidding, declared Chief Frank G. Snook, is 90 per cent preventable and is almost invariably the result of reckless careless or sloppy" driving. Here are a few wet weather suggestions offered by Snook: Check and oil windshield wipers before the first rain to be sure they are working properly. Failure of the wiper function may result in a serious accident. When pavements are wet and slippery allow at least one-third more distance than you allow under normal conditions to bring your car to a stop. If your car skids do not lose your head and jam on the brakes and don't throw your clutch out. Give your wheel a slight turn in the direction the rear end is skidding and let compression stop you. Under no circumstances should you use your full braking power for you may turn over. Watch other cars at intersections very carefully. They may not be equipped with brakes as good as yours. Leave plenty of room between your car and the one in front of you. Be extremely careful about getting off the edge of the pavement in loose gravel or mud during rainy weather. Check up your tires. Badly worn tires might well be laid away for use in the dry season and substituted with tires upon which there is plenty of tread to provide traction. If you are going into the mountains or over bad roads provide yourself with a set of tire chains. Watch for pedestrians at night on wet pavements when the vision of the pedestrian is likely to be obscured. Have your brakes adjusted before the first rain. Unequalized brakes may cause you to turn over on a slippery road. Above all, drive slowly and carefully Rain fell on Sunday, the precipitation being the first of the season.

About 800 votes were cast out of a registration of nearly 1300. Mrs. Gus Davis, formerly of Anaheim, but now residing in Santa Ana, was in town last week accompanied by her son, Harry Davis. Mrs. Wm. Falkenstein and little son, Stanley, went to Santa Ana on Monday to visit with her mother. Miss Josephine Alexander of Santa Ana was the guest last week of O. W. Skinner and family of Orangethorpe.

Unequalized brakes may cause you to turn over on a slippery road. Above all, drive slowly and carefully in rainy weather. CHEMISTS VISION FUTURE At the recent convention of chemists in Chicago visions of what the future promises our children were calmly outlined and earnestly predicted. It was claimed that within a few years a monopoly of raw materials will be impossible because chemistry will make everything. Coal mines will be useless as well as the 3000 by-products of coal tar. The manufacturing center of the nation will shift to the corn and cotton belts and seaboard centers will lose their importance. These statements represent a change in our civilization more fundamental than anything that has happened since the invention of the steam engine and are more probable. The old law of stupply and demand will be completely upset because everything that men need will be produced in such abundance that there will be more than enough for everyone unless controlled by individual monopolies.

Bowers YES Dodge Brothers Standard Six is the fastest car, with the fastest pick-up, under a thousand dollars. HOWEVER That is only HALF the story. The IMPORTANT point is that this exceptional speed is made practical by Dodge ruggedness and chassis and body construction. OTHERS Might succeed in building a car at this price with equal SPEED, but to do so successfully they would also have to build a car with equal STURDINESS. AND That is where Dodge Brothers, with years of experience in building a dependable low-cost product, are years ahead of the field.

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 (Name and address will be sent upon request.) 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. Caldwell'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 grief, pain or other distress. For biliousness, sour stools, colds and tongue, headache, fevers, colds and constipation from infancy to old age Syrup Pepsin is recommended everywhere and sold by all druggists.
