IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Age. These Files Contain the only Authentic of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange Co. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MARCH 22, 1879. Denis Kearney, the agitator, spoke in Kroeger's hall on Wednesday night, upon the new constitution. The meeting broke up in a riot. The lights were put out and Mr. Lynill addressed the throng in front of the hall. Mr. Lynill is a good speaker and he handled Mr. Kearney in a most vigorous and denunciatory manner. Deputy Sheriff Barham and Marshal Wartenberg kept the crowd quiet. At Santa Ana on Thursday evening Kearney spoke at an out door meeting and he viciously assailed Messrs. Fruit, Spurgeon, Brown, McFadden, he also said that Irvine is a thieving land robber and that Seibert of Anaheim a hoodlum. A man named Rule stepped up and struck Kearney in the melee which followed and Kearney was badly beaten up. Deputy Sheriff Hickey appeared and rescued him. After having his wounds dressed, Kearney left on the stage for San Diego. At the meeting of the Anaheim Water Company on last Satturday the bids for constructing the flume were opened and read. They were as follows: T. W. Cook, 8 cents per running foot; Wm. Howard, 6 cents; P. C. McKinnie, 9½ cents; Dalton & Robb, 11 cents; A. J. Brown, 9 cents; C. Stappenbeck, $425.75 for the whole job (6,960 feet). The contract was awarded to Mr. Howard, and he was directed to furnish bonds in the sum of $850 for the faithful performance of the work. Having neglected to file the bonds within the specified time, the contract was yesterday given to Mr. Stappenbeck. The contract calls for the completion of the flume by the first of May. The Town Trustees held a meeting on Monday. Three bidfor building the tank frame and two for building the tank wehanded in. The contract for building the frame was awarded to A. J. Brown for $34, and the contract for furnishing the tank Howard, 6 cents; P. C. McKinnie, 9½ cents; Dalton & Robb, 11 cents; A. J. Brown, 9 cents; C.

Brown for $34, and the contract for furnishing the tank to C. Wille for $320, the tank to be completed in twenty days. Mr. John Fischer retires from the management of the Planters Hotel tomorrow, and those having business with him will hereafter find him at his office in the Bank of Anaheim. He will commence his duties as assessor of Anaheim School District in a day or two. Messrs. Miles Bros. have given us a sack of flour made of Odessa wheat. It is very white and has the appearance of being good marketable flour. We shall have it made into bread and report the result. Mr. G. G. Greelev of Fairview informs us that his crops are yet looking well and that he will have a small crop even if the rain fails to come. He has twenty-five acres in Odessa wheat and it is looking fine. St. Patrick's day passed almost unnoticed. Our Celtic friend, Dennis Nagle, was the only person who evinced a disposition to accord some prominence to the day, but he was a brass band, military company and procession all by himself. One would think from the absence of the Irish colors that even now they "were hanging men and women for a wearin' of the green." The family of Mr. W. A. Witte have gone up to the coal mine to live, as his duties as superintendent require his almost constant attendance. Considerable wine is still being shipped from the depot. Two carloads are in the warehouse and will be sent off in a day or two. Mr. Hitchcock, proprietor of the Garden Grove cheese factory, desires to sell the establishment. It is a small but very complete factory, and a man of experience and some capital would find this an opportunity to step into a good business. A large lot of hogs were bought in Downey during the week, the price paid being 3½ cents per pound. Eight carloads of hogs were shipped to San Francisco from Downey depot yesterday. We were shown yesterday by Mr. L. Gunther a copy of the first Chinese paper published on the coast, and which Mr. Gunther has had in his possession since 1853. Mr. Gus Davis received a letter last night from "Tpom 54 uhekardc." That's exactly the way the postmark read. It's a Russian name, and not very hard to pronounce after you get used to it. The fire truck is now housed in Backs building opposite the We were shown yesterday by Mr. L.

That's exactly the way the postmark read. It's a Russian name, and not very hard to pronounce after you get used to it. The fire truck is now housed in Backs building opposite the Gazette office. The company secured the room at a rental of $5 per month. Beef cattle are selling at Norwalk for five cents per pound, live weight. Hogs bring three cents. After Denis Kearnev had left Anaheim, his revolver was found in the room he had occupied at the hotel. There were sun-dry nicks in the handle, and the conclusion was arrived at that they represented the number of moon-eyed lepers dispatched by the agitator. The weapon was forwarded to the agitator so that he should not be deprived of the means of making the Chinese go. Dr. J. A. Crane of Santa Ana, assisted by Dr. Burtnett of that place and Dr. W. N. Hardin of Anaheim, amputated the right arm of Mr. Sheehan of Santa Ana, who suffered a compound fracture some days ago. Mr. Sheehan is doing well. A wharf site was located at Santa Monica yesterday. The subscriptions for the wharf reached the sum of $10,000 several days ago, and it still goes on. The people who have this enterprise in hand act as though they were in dead earnest, and we hope they will accomplish the end in view. McFadden Bros. of Santa Ana have 400 head of cattle on the Santa Rosa ranch, and Judge Skip of San Joaquin has 6,000 head of sheep there. Joseph Green Barry Henry Marcus Cassius Brutus Cwas Haynes, a native of Illinois, aged 60 years, registered at the county clerk's office on Monday. He resides at Los Nietos and his friends call him Joe for short. DAYS OF LONG AGO The Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MARCH 10, 1904. The Board of Trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening. Present: Messrs. Schneider, Rust, Weisel, Berdrow and Fletcher. The marshal reported the following total collections $1,132.15 Delinquent total, $46.65. The recorder reported the collection of a $5 fine for violation of ordinance. The committee on public improvements reported that trees had been set out on South Los Angeles street, from Chestnut to Broadway, on North Los Angeles from Cypress to North; on Center from Olive to Atchison. That parts of Rose, Vine, Olive, Hedwig and Hermine had been graded. That water connections had been made to the Ganahl Lumber Co. on East Center street; that an arc light had been put up at the intersection of Los Angeles and Chestnut. The ordinance calling an election of city officers was adopted. The board decided to get an expression of the wishes of the people in the matter of closing saloons on Sunday, and this will be printed on the ballots: "For closing liquor saloons on Sundays: Yes." "For closing liquor saloons on Sundays: No." Mr. Rust moved the adoption of a schedule for electric light rates, which reduces the present rate 15½ per cent. The motion was adopted. The offer of the supervisors to allow the city $250 for a steel cell for the proposed new jail was accepted, and specifications for the jail were ordered prepared. The telephone franchise was sold to W. L. Porterfield of the Home Telephone company for $125. Mr. Nebelung requested that electric lights be installed in his residence, corner of Sycamore and Orana streets. Petition President Calls Extra Session Consideration of Farm Relief The Motive For Call President Hoover formally summoned congress into extra session, fixing the date for convening on April 15th. The president, in his proclamation, the first he has issued, made the call for the session to consider further agricultural relief and legislation for limited changes in the tariff. While the president specified only farm relief and tariff revision, congress may take up whatever legislation it desires. It is expected that Mr. Hoover will seek repeal of the national origins provisions of the 1924 immigration act, as well as transfer of prohibition enforcement machinery from the treasury to the justice department. The proclamation read: "Whereas, public interests require that the congress of the United States should be convened in extra session at 12 o'clock noon on the 15th day of April, 1929, to receive such communications as may be made by the executive; "And, whereas, legislation to effect further agricultural relief and legislation for limited changes of the tariff cannot in justice to our farmers, our labor and our manufacturers be postponed; "Now, therefore, I Herbert Hoover, president of the United States of America, de hereby proclaim and declare that an extraordinary occasion requires the congress of the United States to convene in extra session at the capitol in the city of Washington, on the 15th day of April, 1929, at 12 o'clock noon, of which all persons who shall at that time be entitled to act as members thereof are hereby required to take notice. In witness whereof, I hereunto set my hand and cause to be affixed the great seal of the United States. Done at the city of Washington, his seventh day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-nine, and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and fifty-third. Signed) "HERBERT HOOVER." The session was called in keeping "For closing liquor saloons on Sundays: Yes." "For closing liquor saloons on Sundays: No." Mr. Rust moved the adoption of a schedule for electric light rates, which reduces the present rate 15½ per cent. The motion was adopted. The offer of the supervisors to allow the city $250 for a steel cell for the proposed new jail was accepted, and specifications for the jail were ordered prepared. The telephone franchise was sold to W. L. Porterfield of the Home Telephone company for $125. Mr. Nebelung requested that electric lights be installed in his residence, corner of Sycamore and Orana streets. Petition for an ace light at the intersection of Cypress and Olive streets was granted, also an arc light was ordered placed at Adele and Los Angeles streets. Mr. Rust moved that the number of saloons be limited to seven. Motion objecting to this as giving a monopoly of the business to those persons. The marshal was instructed to take out the willow and Cypress trees on South Los Angeles streets south of the railroad depot. W. C. Warner has purchased the city livery stables, until recently conducted by Edward Zeus. The new proprietor assumed charge yesterday. His purchase includes all livestock, vehicles and other interests of the former proprietor. He is an experienced livervan and will be at all times at the service of patrons of this establishment. John Kuebler came over from Long Beach on Monday to pay a visit to friends. Johnny has a lemonade emporium on the wharf at Long Beach, and allows that he ought to clean up a good sized grub-stake the coming summer. Miss Shirley L. White, vocal teacher of Los Angeles, will be found at Miss Anne Everhardy's Tuesday afternoons of each week. Miss White invites interviews with any wishing to study. Jake Schumacher, son of J.-L. Schumacher, the West Center street mineral water manufacturer, has taken a position with Mr. Grim at the new lumber yard. Jerry Cole is installing a pumping plant on his ranch west of town. He has purchased a thirteen horse-power model engine and expects to get about eighty inches of water. Fritz Ruhman paid the sanctum a call this week, lighting up the office with his usual good fellowship. Fritz is the first man who ever sold a glass of beer for five cents in Anaheim. If that is not enough to entitle him to glory, it may be added that he was the boss' light of the Flying Dutchman in which he made his escape to this country early in the present century. He is a staid and proper member of society and has numerous pretentious city blocks to his credit as a result of his industry, and contemplates creating several more. Reinold Schellen and family, who formerly lived in Anaheim but moved to Hollywood some time ago, have returned here to reside permanently. Mrs. Martha O. Smith visited with friends in town this week. She contemplates departing in the near future for Arkansas to visit with her daughter, Mrs. Dr. Lightfoot. Her daughter, Mrs. Henrichs, will meet her there from New York, accompanied by her little twin daughters nearly five years old, whom grandma has day of April, 1929, at 12 o'clock noon, of which all persons who shall at that time be entitled to act as members thereof are hereby required to take notice.

Signed) "HERBERT HOOVER." The session was called in keeping with a pledge made by President Hoover during the closing days of his campaign for consideration of farm relief and tariff revision, a move sponsored largely by Senator Borah of Idaho. The plan is to complete the work of the extra session by July 1, if possible, though a senate threat to reopen the tariff for general revision, instead of limiting it to comparatively few items, and pressure to take up additional legislation may run the session beyond that date. In facing congress at the outset of his administration, President Hoover early will have a test of his abilities of leadership. The president has not outlined specifically, his farm relief program, though he suggested the major points in his campaign—establishment of a federal farm board to handle marketing of surplus crops, upward revision of the tariff on agricultural products to protect the farmers' domestic market and further development of cooperative marketing. Ford Motor Shows Endurance in Test Kept Running Six Days While Climbing Swiss Alps An official test of the Model A Ford motor in Switzerland, with the Alps as the proving ground, has demonstrated that the new Ford could be operated for a long, continuous period over abrupt, steep hills, without lifting the hood. Reports of the test have just been received by the Ford Motor company. The Ford motor was kept running for a period of six days and during virtually all of that time the car was enroute over the Alpine passes, a relief taking over the operation while the driver rested. Day and night the test continued. No attempt was made for distance or speed, the sole object being to determine the reliability and power of the automobile. The fact that the trip was made when roads and climate conditions in the mountain were bad is cited as further evidence of the stability of the Ford car. A strictly standard Model A Ford with tudor body was used. Zurich waits startin gpoint. The hood of the car was sealed officially by a repre- Reinold Schellen and family, who formerly lived in Anaheim but moved to Hollywood some time ago, have returned here to reside permanently. Mrs. Martha O. Smith visited with friends in town this week. She contemplates departing in the near future for Arkansas to visit with her daughter, Mrs. Dr. Lightfoot. Her daughter, Mrs. Hinrichs, will meet her there from New York, accompanied by her little twin daughters nearly five years old, whom grandma has never seen. Mrs. Hinrichs is the well-known contralto of the Metropolitan Opera company, of which Mr. Hinrichs is musical director. She is well and favorably known hereabouts, having spent her school days here. Miss Roberts, principal of the Central school, has inaugurated a fire drill among her pupils, which is designed to fit them for cases of emergency. The drill is practiced once a week, and none of the pupils are aware when the alarm is to be given. One of the pupils is sent to the hall and raises the cry of "fire." Initially the school arises, the pupils standing in the aisles. Then the drum beats and all hands file out in order. The exciting cry rang through the hall a day or two ago, and several hundred boys and girls were out of the eight rooms in the building inside of three minutes. Mrs. L. C. Blake contemplates a visit east to join her husband in Wisconsin. She expects to remain until fall, when she will be accompanied by her husband back to the elysian climate of California. New pumping plants are being installed on the Holderman, Rexrod, Mickel and Johnson places west of town. Mr. Underwood of Garden Grove has purchased E. J. Mercereau the store at Garden Grove for $4,000. Johnny Cadman has been ill this week with an attack of typhoid fever, but is improving. Mrs. Hattie Mitchell has been in town from Pasadena during the week on business and pleasure, virtually all of that time the car was enroute over the Alpine passes, a relief taking over the operation while the driver rested. Day and night the test continued. No attempt was made for distance or speed, the sole object being to determine the reliability and power of the automobile. The fact that the trip was made when roads and climate conditions in the mountains were bad is cited as further evidence of the stability of the Ford car. A strictly standard Model A Ford with tudor body was used. Zurich waits startin gpoint. The hood of the car was sealed officially by a representative of the township. Two persons occupied the car, the driver and its relief. Passing through Lucerne and the Ornuel Pass, the car took the Furka Pass at an altitude of 2,431 meters, then the St Gothard Pass down the Italian lakes through all the large Swiss towns and back to Zurich. On its return the seals were examined by the official who first placed them on the hood and were found intact." In each town the car was stopped, but not the motor. The motor ran constantly from the time the car was started in Zurich until the return six days later. The course is one of the most difficult in Europe. In addition to the hard, road the driver had to combat such obstacles as snow, mist, flocks of sheep and herds of cattle, frequently detoring on trails that were little more than paths. Turnip custard is made in the same way as corn custard. To one cup of grated raw turnip or mahsed cooked turnip allow 2 beaten eggs, 1 pint of milk, ½ teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix well and season with a few drops of tabasco. Bake in a moderate oven in a pan surrounded by water until the custard is set. Serve at once. Carrots may be used in the same way. Discovery of new sources of revenue has always been the politician's way of lightening the tax burden.

Baldwin 226 S. Los Angeles ANAHEIM 242 W. Commonwealth FULLERTON Perils of Childhood I must be all of twenty years ago that mother first knew me. I grew up Pepsin. For those Fevers, Colds and Bowel Troubles of Childhood My good mother has gone to her root, but she is still alive upon her judgment and have given birth to children since they were born. It is certainly a blessing and never fails of its purpose. I like to recommend it (the address will be sent upon request). And in the Evening of Life When age comes creeping on, with bowels relaxed, constipation, angina poor and blood thinned, then intestinal constipation does its evil work in a night. My good mother is so palatable, sets so well, works so easily, so gently, so mildly with food as to accomplish its purpose without distress. For hiccups, sour breath, nausea, headache, fevers, colds and constipation that arise after my baby Pepasin is recommended every day and at all times.
