SEPTEMBER 25, 1880
Now that the evenings are getting long it is in order to resuscitate the literary society or effect a new organization which shall help to pass one evening in the week profitably. We have before us a circular describing the aims and purposes of the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle, which has local circles in Oakland, San Jose and other towns. The plan of this organization is systematic and local circles enjoy privileges which an independent literary circle cannot hope for. The circular is at the disposal of those interested and a note addressed to Miss L. M. Washburne, San Jose, secretary of the California branch will procure all needed information. We would like to see a circle formed in Anaheim.
Mr. J. C. Peabody has been in town during the week trying to awaken an interest in the approaching Horticultural and Agricultural Fair and soliciting exhibits from this section. We hope our citizens will send whatever they may have of interest or value. The railroad company and the express company will forward free of charge any articles intended for exhibition, and the exhibits will be well taken care of and returned at the close of the fair by the managers.
Capt. H. Wrede has bought eighty acres of land in the canyon de Santa Ana rancho, about seven miles east of Anaheim and has, therefore, become a permanent resident. There are six acres of old bearing vines on his purchase, besides numerous fruit trees, and he will plant a large vineyard the coming season. We bid the captain a welcome to our valley and hope he will enjoy all prosperity.
A "smart aleck" in the shape of a Los Nietors farmer has got himself into trouble. He sold twenty-one sacks of potatoes to a commission house in Los Angeles. The potatoes which were on Orange county fornia counties, rate in the latter bridge purposes, one, but it is 35 not to be so much counties is about about the same price of $1.80.

A "smart aleck" in the shape of a Los Nietors farmer has got himself into trouble. He sold twenty-one sacks of potatoes to a commission house in Los Angeles. The potatoes which were on the top of the heap were fine tubers and he sold the lot on the strength of their appearance. The day afterwards the merchant made a minute examination and found that the potatoes in the bottom of the sacks were rotten and about the size of walnuts. A fund was subscribed by a number of merchants to be applied to the prosecution of the honest farmer.
The ceremony which for better or worse, linked the lives and fortunes of Hippolyte Cahen and Miss A. A. Meyerholz took place at the residence of the bride's parents on Saturday night. The bride was dressed with exquisite taste and if she ever looked fairer or happier than during the moment preceding the utterance of the fateful words by the officiating Judge, it was when receiving the warm and cordial congratulations of her relatives and few intimate friends who were present. Judge Bailey prefaced the stereotyped formula of the marriage ceremony with a few apt and well chosen words of counsel and advice, in which he spoke of the esteem in which the bride and groom were held and augured the happiest results from the union. The banquet which followed the marriage ceremony was so tempting that the guests lingered at the table until a late hour, and even then there was a reluctant parting, for it seemed a grevious sin to leave such a quantity of superb cookery untested. Mr. and Mrs. Cahen are now comfortably settled in their residence on Lemon street, and were the recipients of a serenade from the Anaheim Brass Band on Monday night. We hope—and in so doing we but echo the wish of their legion of friends—that the young couple will realize all their dreams of happiness and that the future has in store for them nothing but what will make life a pleasure and the thoughts of their marriage day one of the pleasantest memories.
Dr. Geo. H. Bailey, who has been sojourning in the mountains for a week or two, brought us a tarantula story which beats anything we have yet recorded regarding these animals. A man and his wife who recently settled upon some land between the Chino rancho and the hills told the doctor that they had killed seven hundred and fifty tarantulas in one month. The wife killed forty in the yard in a few minutes one evening.
Mr. F. A. Gates of Garden Grove has our thanks for a can of sorgum syrup made from cane grown by him this year. Mr. Gates has given us some facts in regard to this industry which we will present to our readers at some length next week. Suffice it for the present to say that it is the belief of all the farmers who have grown the cane this year that a veritable agricultural bonanza has been struck at last.
Several citizens have requested us to announce that unless the sale of liquor to Indians is stopped forthwith the law will be invoked to punish those who are guilty of selling the liquor. The moneypicking season has drawn a great many Indians to town and

Several citizens have requested us to announce that unless the sale of liquor to Indians is stopped forthwith the law will be invoked to punish those who are guilty of selling the liquor. The grape-picking season has drawn a great many Indians to town and the outrageous actions of some of their number has taxed the patience of our citizens.
At a meeting of Directors of the Anaheim Water company on Saturday, Mr. John P. Zeyn was appointed a member of the Board, vice Theo Reiser resigned. Mr. Dreyfus was elected president of the company and Mr. Hartung vice-president.
Yarnell, Caystile & Mathis offer $50 in premiums to the pupils of public schools in Southern California as follows: For the best essay $20; best recitation $10; best song $10; best map of California $10. The exercises will take place in the Pavilion (Los Angeles) October 19th.
In the case of Hinds vs. Hinds, an action in the Superior Court to foreclose a mortgage on the property of the Societas Fraternia, the jury gave a verdict sustaining the validity of the mortgage.
Mr. Alexander Gardiner of Orangethorpe left for Globe, Arizona Territory, on Thursday. His family will remain here.
Mr. D. E. Barclay, a former typo in the Gazette office is now mail agent on the Anaheim train.
Mrs. Flora Brown left for Arizona on Thursday morning.
Mrs. Dr. Hardin returned from her eastern trip on Wednesday.
A meeting will be held at Metz hall this (Saturday) evening to organize a Garfield and Arthur club. All Republicans are invited to attend and help along the good work.
The youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. Dreyfus has been very sick during the week but we are glad to say that it is now thought to be out of danger.
The Wilmington railroad is soon to be entirely relaid with steel rails. The material is already distributed along the track for a number of miles.

and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only

25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK
SEPTEMBER 28, 1905
Orange county has the lowest tax rate of the Southern California counties, $1.65, and Ventura the highest $2.75. The high
rate in the latter county is due to a special levy of 55 cents for
bridge purposes. Riverside's rate of $2.00 is about an average
one, but it is 35 cents higher than Orange and there really ought
not to be so much difference. The assessed valuation of the two
counties is about the same. Santa Barbara county which has
about the same population and assessed valuation as Riverside has
a rate of $1.80.—20 cents less than Riverside.
The German-American Bank was organized at a meeting held
on Saturday afternoon at the office of H. W. Chynoweth. The
capital stock will be $25,000. The following officers were chosen:
H. W. Chynoweth, President; Joseph Helmsen, Vice-President;
Directors, H. W. Chynoweth, Joseph Helmsen, E. Barr, E. Michod,
W. H. Spake, A. Nagle all of this city and Walter Snider and W.
Scott Smith of Long Beach and W. A. Bonynge of Los Angeles.
The bank has three sites from which to choose a location, one
a building to be erected by Mrs. Mitchell upon her lot adjoining
the Odd Fellows hall, the other an offer made by H. A. Dickel to
erect a building adjoining the postoffice, and the third an offer
made by Napoleon Hart to erect a building on his property, west
of the city hall, to contain three store rooms, one to be occupied
by the bank, the others by business firms. A selection will be
made in the near future.
Arthur Porter was the victim of an accidental shooting at
San Juan Hot Springs on Saturday which may deter him in future
from going deer hunting. He sat out early in the morning in
search of venison and when returning to camp about noon stopned to get a drink at a creek. He wended his way down to the
STATE SYSTEM FACES CHANGES
Many Uuhevals Forseen In This
State’s Lower House
This Year
After the smoke of battle had cleared away from the recent primary election,
it was discovered that California’s state’s new reapportionment system.
Seven assemblymen will probably occupy seats in the senate, having been successful in their campaigns for the republican nomination. They are R. R.
Ingels, Potter Valley; Charles H. Deuel,
Chico; Bradford S. Crittenden, Tracy;
Dan E. Williams, Chinese Camp; Sam
L. Heisinger, Selma; Frank W. Mixter,
Exeter, and William E. Harper, San Diego.
Seven counties will be absolutely without representation in the senate as a result of the new “federal plan” of reapportionment, in effect this year for the first time. They are Modoc, Shasta,
Lassen, Amador, Alpine, Yolo and Kings.
Six counties, or parts of them, on the other hand, will have double representation, and include Del Norte,
Tehama and portions of San Francisco,
Alameda, Los Angeles and Santa Clara counties.
In San Francisco, Senator Roy Fellom defeated Senators J. J. Crowley and Tom Maloney for the lone senate seat allotted to that county. As Fellom already was a senator, a special election may be held to fill his vacancy. The same situation prevails in Alameda county, where Senator Arthur S. Breed defeated Senators Edgar S. Hurley and T. C. West; and in Los Angeles, where Senator Frank F. Merriam was nominated for lieutenant governor.
Doubt that these three special elections will be held is expressed by Charles W. Cleary, former assemblyman who alder in drafting the present reapportionment law. There is nothing to pre-
Arthur Porter was the victim of an accidental shooting at San Juan Hot Springs on Saturday which may deter him in future from going deer hunting. He sat out early in the morning in search of venison and when returning to camp about noon stopped to get a drink at a creek. He wended his way down to the water's edge and as he stooped over to quench his thirst his rifle. A 30-30 which he carried in his right hand, exploded, the ball tearing its way through the fleshy part of the left forearm. He hurried back to camp, where the wound was dressed. Arthur will carry his arm in a sling for some weeks.
Garden Grove is experiencing the greatest boom in the history of that portion of Orange county. Real estate values are increasing daily and an active demand exists for improved and unimproved property. Many new settlers are locating and the school house is being enlarged to accommodate the increased attendance. The new electric road which will soon be in operation is doing great things for the Grove and many improvements are being made.
George Chambers was playing football at school the other day and went after the ball which was descending through the branches of a tree into which it had fallen. In his eagerness to get the ball George thrust his thumb against a limb, dislocating it and necessitating the services of a physician. George carries his thumb done up in bandages, but will soon be in the game again.
George B. Hatfield, father of Jos. Hatfield, celebrated the nineteenth anniversary of his birth at his son's residence on Tuesday evening at a birthday dinner and family reunion. Mr. Hatfield is the father of eight children, seventeen grandchildren and three great grandchildren. He was born in Orange county, New York, September 26, 1815.
Miss Mattie Yorba entertained the Miercoles club at her home last Wednesday afternoon. A very pleasant time was spent in playing euchre. After the game dainty refreshments were served. The prizes which were in burnt wood were awarded as follows: Mrs. Fred Rimpau, first; Mrs. Adolph Rimpau, second; Miss Bowen, consolation.
City Clerk Merritt has received from the state board of equalization the taxation of railroads running through town as follows: Southern Pacific $49,200; Santa Fe $15,220. The former assessment is the same as last year. The latter was last year, $17,372. Rate per mile Southern Pacific $15,000; Santa Fe, $10,079.07. Total assessed valuation of the city $647,226.
Louie Kroeger, Wallace Scott, Johnny Rupin and wife and Misses Dunn and Fossek returned on Wednesday from a fortnight's trip to San Juan Hot Springs. All enjoyed the trip and Johnny said something about getting a shot at a mountain lion or something that looked like one.
Christian Science Lesson-Sermon
Paul's declaration to the Corinthians,
"The fashion of this world passeth away," constitutes the Golden Text in the Lesson-Sermon on "Matter," Sunday in all branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass.
One of the Scripture citations includes Christ Jesus' words: "Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: he is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock; and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it; for it was founded upon a rock. But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great."
A correlative passage from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, contains the following statements: "The testimony of the material senses is neither absolute nor divine. I therefore plant myself unreservedly on the teachings of Jesus, his apostles, of the prophets, and on the testimony of the Science of Mind. Other foundations there are none."

The Anaheim Union Water Company and Santa Ana Valley Irrigation District, this week resolved to purchase a tract of river land in Riverside county, as a further means of protecting their water rights in that locality. A large pumping plant near the site of the purchase lifts several hundred inches of water from the river which the two water companies claim, and a suit will probably soon be instituted to restrain them from its use.
Pete Nicolas, Ed. Fuller and Erwin Bayha took a three day trip up the Trabuca canyon last week. They report game very scarce in that section.
George Hagar has been elected business manager of the Athletic association at the A. H. S.
Pete Keahliher was passing the Havanas the other day. It's a boy.
W. B. Hutchinson went to Westminster on Monday to open his new drug store.
Gus Stern has taken up his residence in Fullerton and is in the employ of Stern and Goodman.
Clarence Groat was in town from Los Angeles on Thursday looking after sidewalk contracts.
Misses Olga and Lillie Zeus visited at Newport Beach several days the past week.
County Surveyor Finley is engaged in laying out the townsite at Benedict.
Charles Federman returned yesterday from a business and pleasure trip to San Francisco.
Company E held its second state shoot at the range on Sunday. Sergt. Adams scored the highest making 56.
The Y. P. S. C. E. of the Christian church will give a necktie social to be held in Backs hall on Friday evening, Sept. 29. All are cordially invited.

Hand holding used to be a pastime for country young folks—now it is fashionable for city folks.
When PAIN Comes
WHAT many people call indigestion very often means excess acid in the stomach. The stomach nerves have been over-stimulated, and food sours. The corrective is an alkali, which neutralizes the acids instantly. And the best alkali known to medical science is Phillips Milk of Magnesia.
One spoonful of this harmless, tasteless alkali in water neutralizes instantly many times that much acid, and the symptoms disappear at once. You will never use crude methods when once you learn the efficiency of this. Go get a small bottle to try.
Be sure to get the genuine Phillips Milk of Magnesia prescribed by physicians for 50 years in correcting excess acids. 25c and 50c a bottle—any drugstore.

Guardian of the Family
"My father, who is past 75, shares our bottle of Syrup Pepsin with his little great-granddaughter aged three. And when I feel constipated, with headache and biliousness, I also get my share of Syrup Pepsin. We would as soon think of being without salt and sugar as not to have a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin in the house." (Name and address will be furnished upon request)
Constipation Always a Danger
"Always something," says mother. "Billiousness, sour stomach, headache, colds, fevers—you never know when or what." Syrup Pepsin is mother's safeguard. Sweetens stomach, moves bowels; children recover like magic. No wonder mothers everywhere know and trust Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It is the guardian of the family's health. Sweet, sirupy—children and old people love it. Mild, yet thorough in action. Sudden colds, fevers, headache—conditions responsible for nearly all disease—a dose of Syrup Pepsin and all fear is gone. Once in the home every mother says—"I keep it always on hand." Every druggist sells Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
