IN THE DAYS OF L Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK OCTOBER 23, 1880 The Horticultural Fair which has been in progress in the Pavilion during the week was an improvement over that of previous years. The number of exhibits were greatly in excess of those of last year. Florence, through the efforts of Gen. Shields, had probably the best display at the Fair. Pasadena came next, and Westminster, Orange, Santa Ana and Los Nietos had very interesting exhibits of the products of their respective localities. The display of products from Anaheim was limited, for reasons here- to fore given in these columns. Riverside failed to contribute anything. The exhibits from Los Angeles city proper consisted in great part of displays of dry goods, etc., for advertising purposes by enterprising merchants. San Diego had a very large and admirably arranged display of products, and the same is true of Santa Barbara. Following is a list of entries from Anaheim: Mrs. Nettie Alward, three specimens ornamental needle work. Mrs. Mary, crochet collar, sofa cushion. Miss Minnie Ward, knit bedspread, undersleeves, tidy. Theo. Reiser, display of California sherry wine, vintage of 1878. B. Dreyfus & Co., Display of California port, red and white wines, display of Berger grapes. The largest bunch weighed 6¼ pounds. Miss Katie Olden, pencil drawings, A. Guy Smith & Co., Wheat in stalks, cabinet of oats and wheat. From Garden Grove there were exhibits from F. E. Deming, F. A. Gates and son. From Westminster R. Larter had a pumpkin weighing 201 pounds. Robert Strong, Japanese presimmons, Santa Ana had exhibits from Mrs. G. Spurgeon, H. Goepper, H. G. Parker, M. D. Halliday and others. J. E. Pleasants of Santiago had a fine exhibit of honey. Thursday was school day at the Pavilion. A number of prizes were offered for the best singing, recitations, essays and drawings and the number of competitors was large. Miss Katie Olden of Anaheim competed for the recitation prize, and Miss Alice Chase of Anaheim was a competitor for the singing and recitation prizes. The result of the contest had not been announced when we went to press. The receipts at the Pavilion at the close of the first day footed up $815. The second day $521.

The result of the contest had not been announced when we went to press. The receipts at the Pavilion at the close of the first day footed up $815. The second day $521. Mr. J. B. Raine informs us that he realized an excellent yield from his hop fields this year. One field of fifteen acres produced three thousand and ten pounds to the acre, another field of five acres produced two thousand pounds per acre giving him a total of 55,159 pounds. Mr. Raine proposes to ship direct to Cincinnati after the Southern Pacific route is opened up. By this means he will save a large amount of money each year that is now lost on middlemen. On last Sunday evening two stacks of wheat on Mr. Miles' land, belonging to Mr. J. J. Guinn were destroyed by fire. The loss is covered by insurance. Mr. Silas Ritchey of Santa Ana lost three stacks of wheat and one of barley by fire on Friday of last week, but he was unfortunate in having no insurance. Incendiarism is suspected in both cases. A clock was stolen from the house of Claus Wilkens last week and an Indian named Jonea was arrested for the offense by Officer Bohn. The evidence was not sufficient to convict. The same officer arrested an Indian named Francisco for a minor offense, but he also was acquitted. Letters have been received at the sanatorium announcing Dr. Fergusson's departure from London en route for Anaheim on the 25th ult. He is accompanied by some bachelor friends who intend settling here. John Lowe of Santa Ana has received from the East a small quantity of wheat of each of the following varieties: Double Fall, Scotch Fall, Amarakee, White Fife, Red Fern, Canada Club and Scotch. One of Chas. Hille's monkey's gave birth to a young one last week. Remembering the mishap of a year ago (when after a similar event the father and mother ate their offspring) Mr. Hille removed the youngster from the cage and constituted himself a wet nurse for the occasion. J. A. Forbes, assisted by Deputy District Attorney W. E. Lovette occupied five days of last week in Santa Ana in taking testimony in regard to the lines of the rancho Santiago re Santa Ana. The Riverside Press announces that the New York company which has been for the past year negotiating for the purchase of the Temescal tin mines has failed but that another New York syndicate has the matter of purchase under consideration. Sylvester Ardago had a trial in Justice Bailey's court vester- J. A. Forbes, assisted by Deputy District Attorney W. E.

The Riverside Press announces that the New York company which has been for the past year negotiating for the purchase of the Temescal tin mines has failed but that another New York syndicate has the matter of purchase under consideration. Sylvester Ardago had a trial in Justice Bailey's court yesterday afternoon on a charge of stealing a bridle from N. H. Mitchell a month ago. He was captured in Wilmington a few days ago by Officer Dick Barham. An emigrant train passed through town yesterday morning from Artesia en route to New Mexico. The party consisted of five families. Twenty acres of land in Anaheim Extension adjoining town is offered for sale very cheap by L. F. Lewis of the city stables. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Morrison have gone to San Bernardino for a few weeks visit. On last Saturday Mr. Isaac Harding of Santiago Canyon went in search of cows. He had gone but a short distance when he saw in front of him a huge California lion, whose switching tail and low growlings showed he was ready for a scrimmage. After looking at each other a few moments, Mr. Harding and the lion parted, the former returning to his house for a weapon, and the latter ambling slowly up the mountain side. Having procured a gun and a dog Mr. Harding went in pursuit of the lion and found him about hundred yards from the place of the first meeting. He fired and the lion dropped but immediately rose again. A second shot broke the animals back and he fell to the ground. Mr. Harding's dog then sprang upon the lion but his rashness cost him his life for the lion almost disembowelled him with its claws. Mr. Harding went to the rescue of his dog and struck the lion with the butt end of his gun. Dropping the dog the lion struck his human assailant a powerful blow with his paw, the claws tearing his clothes and before he could get away the brute siezed him by the thigh with its teeth, but to the surprise of Mr. Harding he felt no pain and easily pulled himself away. After firing another shot and killing the lion, the reason of his getting off so easily was apparent. Mr. Harding's first shot had shattered the lower jaw of the lion so that he could not bite. The brute was one of the largest of his species, measuring exactly seven feet in length. OF LONG AGO and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only records of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK OCTOBER 26, 1905 The dance given by the Anaheim City Band on Friday night was a grand success, fully 75 couples attending. The music was all that could be desired and the dancers thoroughly enjoyed the occasion. The hall was artistically decorated with palms, the designs making a pleasing effect in the glow of the varied colored lights. Refreshments were served. The occasion will long be remembered as one of the social features of the season and all were of the opinion that the band boys are all right. Names of members and officers of the band: Walter Crowther, leader, solo cornet; Herman Schindler, president, second cornet; John Weaver, vice-president, trombone; Frank Tausch, secretary, solo cornet; Charles Pressel, treasurer, second cornet; J. L. Abbott, first alto; Wm. Kretschmer, slide trombone; Alfred Heying, baritone; Fred Middleham, first cornet; Ted Dickel, B Flat bass; Joe Lachner, E flat bass; Louis Edwardson, snare drum; Ben Lensing, bass drum. Committee of dance, Frank Tausch, Charles Pressel, Hermann Schindler, Wm. Kretchmer; Floor manager, Tom Scott. Door keeper, Fritz Martin. Delmonico Hefferner spread one of the daintiest suppers of the season. Mrs. F. H. Robinson, wife of a former pastor of the Presbyterian church, who lived here 24 years ago, addressed the congregation, Sunday afternoon. She was the leader of the missionary work at that time, organizing the Ladies' Presbyterial, also our local society. At present Mrs. Robinson is a member of the Occidental Board of San Francisco. Her address was very interesting and it is hoped that she may be with us again in the near future. The ceremony of installation of the Rev. F. W. Mitchell, pastor of the First Presbyterian church was held in the church Wednesday evening, October 25th. Rev. H. C. Schumacher of Santa Ana and Rev. Hopkins of Fullerton propounded the constitutional questions and delivered the charges to pastor and people, and Rev. J. Stone of Livermore a former pastor of the church offered the installation prayer. Pioneer Pastor Dies At Fullerton Home The Rev. Francis Reuben Holcomb, one of the most widely known ministers of Orange county, died at his home at 202 East Commonwealth avenue, Fullerton last Friday afternoon. He was 89 years old, had lived in Fullerton since 1888 and was one of the founders of the M. E. church of that city. The funeral was held at that church with the Rev. B. Dudley Snudden officiating, and the rites at the cemetery were by the Masonic lodge, of which Mr. Holcomb was a member. Mr. Holcomb was a native of Burlington, Iowa, and spent his youth in Muscatine. He became a Methodist in 1879 and nine years later came to Fullerton, where he started the church and Sunday school. He also in the early days preached at Anaheim and Garden Grove. He was a director of the First National bank and the Fullerton Savings bank for many years and when these two institutions were merged into what The ceremony of installation of the Rev. F. W.

Stone of Livermore a former pastor of the church offered the installation prayer. After the service a reception was held. John Ziegler, who recently acquired possession of the Commercial Hotel in this city, has amply demonstrated the fact that he is the right man in the right place. The hostelry is rapidly growing in popular favor and the genial host is highly pleased at the business outlook in this city. The bill of fare served is first class in every respect. Mr. Ziegler is a wide-awake and progressive citizen and we bespeak for him a share of the public patronage. Alex Henry's new residence at Caledonia Grove is a notable addition to the architecture of that section. It is two stories in height, finely finished, having gas and electric lights in every room, and is equipped with every modern convenience. The building and its furnishings cost $10,000. It makes a palatial home for one of Orange county's best citizens. Charles Bauer has traded his property at the corner of Los Angeles and Adella streets to E. C. Phelps of Westminster for 40 acres in the Peatlands. There are two 4-inch wells on the place and Joe Barter is sinking two more. Mr. Bauer will improve the tract intensively and among the conveniences will have a duck preserve where his friends will be invited to hunt the wily seal. Mr. Phelps acquires good property by the trade and contemplates many improvements. Herman Kruger was in town from Los Alamitos on Saturday. He reports the electric road constructed beyond Garden Grove, having a force of 400 men. Price of land in the neighborhood has jumped to $290 per acre. A Los Angeles syndicate same days ago looked over two ranches of 300 acres each, which will probably change hands at this figure in the near future. Mrs. Fred Rimpau entertained the Miercoles club on Wednesday afternoon at progressive cuchre. Delicious refreshments were served during the afternoon by the hostess, assisted by Miss Zoilo Smythe. Mrs. Grim won the first prize, Mrs. A. Rimpau the second and Mrs. Kuchel the consolation.

Mr. Carroll has been absent several months and has made a tour of Colorado, Nebraska, and other states in the northwest. Mr. Holcomb was a native of Burlington, Iowa, and spent his youth in Muscatine. He became a Methodist in 1879 and nine years later came to Fullerton, where he started the church and Sunday school. He also in the early days preached at Anaheim and Garden Grove. He was a director of the First National bank and the Fullerton Savings bank for many years and when these two institutions were merged into what is now known as the Fullerton branch of the Security First National bank of Los Angeles, he was appointed to the advisory board of directors on which he served until two years ago. He was twice married, the second Mrs. Holcomb being Mrs. Elizabeth Shepard, of Muscatine, who died in Fullerton, July 7, 1926. He is survived by a son, C. E. Holcomb of Fullerton, and two daughters, Mrs. Mary Case of Orange, and Mrs. Annie Gardiner of Roscoe, Calif. He also leaves five grand children. EXCESS acid is the common cause of indigestion. It results in pain and sourness about two hours after eating. The quick corrective is an alkali which neutralizes acid. The best corrective is Phillips Milk of Magnesia. It has remained standard with physicians in the 50 years since its invention. One spoonful of Phillips Milk of Magnesia neutralizes instantly many times its volume in acid. Harmless, and tasteless, and yet its action is quick. You will never rely on crude methods once you learn how quickly this method acts. Be sure to get the genuine "Milk of Magnesia" has been the U.S. Registered Trade Mark of the Chillie Fischer will re-open the billiard and pool room in the Ruhman block on Los Angeles street the first of the month.

Anaheim 666 Fullerton 151 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. "Biliousness, 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."
