IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK FEBRUARY 19, 1881 As far back as the close of the 16th century the holding of festive meetings, at which the participants assumed fictitious characters and disguised their identity by wearing masks, was in vogue, and during all the intervening years, up to the present. About the only change in the general characteristics of such assemblages is the greater decorum and propriety with which such affairs are now conducted. Several masquerade balls have been given in Anaheim of late years, each of which has been voted a success, but the one given on last Monday night eclipsed them all. The maskers, who previous to midnight had control of the floor, were numerous enough for comfort, as the great number of spectators encroached somewhat upon the space usually allotted to dancers. In all there could not have been less than three hundred persons present. The net profits of the ball were $29.20, which sum has been given to the Ladies Aid society. The supper was the most elegant collation ever spread in Anaheim. The Anaheim brass band furnished the music, and in honor of the occasion nearly all the pieces were original airs compiled by Mr. Bancroft. The committee on arrangements was composed of M. A. Mendelson, Adolph Rimpau, C. E. Leonard, Max Nebelung and Fred Hartung. Following is a list of the ladies and gentlemen participating, and the characters represented: Ladies, Miss Anna Fischer, Folly; Mrs. L. F. Lewis, Madame Pompadour; Mrs. O. Warling, old women; Miss Portia Cowan, Spanish Gitana; Miss Dora Zeyn, Court Lady of the 16th Century; Miss Padderatz, Old-time Lady; Mrs. N. H. Mitchell, Anaheim Gazette; Miss Clemmie Schmidt, Shower of Silver; Mrs. Bessie Lawrence, Tambourine girl; Miss Carrie Seibert, Romp; Mrs. M. A. Mendelson, Spanish Shepherdess; Mrs. D.

Steinhart, Devil; John Hartung, Monkey; Homer Cartwright, Baseball; George Hull, Priest; H. S. Thistlewaite, William Tell; A. Roques, Don Juan; August Rueter, Hunter. A number of ladies and gentlemen disguised in plain dominoes and masks participated in the dancing in addition to those noted above. The entertainment given by the children of the Episcopal Sunday school last week was a financial success clearing $16.85. The fount they wish to purchase will cost fifty dollars and they now have on hand thirty dollars. It has been ordered from the city, and will probably be in place about the first of May. There has been filed with the Secretary of State articles of incorporation of the First Methodist Episcopal church of Los Angeles. Trustees: C. H. Bradley, G. W. Wells, G. W. Morgan, J. P. Widney, J. H. Seymour, S. Strohm, S. C. Hubbell. Mr. Tim Carroll has bought the fourteen large tanks which were used at the tannery and will utilize them for reservoirs for the storage of water for irrigating purposes. He intends to put up a windmill and fill the tanks from an excellent well which he has on his premises. Governor Perkins has very wisely decided not to call an extra session of the Legislature. The law says that sixty days is long enough to do all the required work. We believe the law is wrong, but it should be obeyed. As long as the impression prevailed that the Governor would order an extra session both houses were dilatory. It is probable that the remaining days of the session will be put to good use and that all important bills (including the one creating the County of Orange) will receive the attention of the Legislature. A bill has been introduced in the assembly to prohibit the killing of cattle or selling of meat on Sunday. Three hundred and thirty valentines were sent through the Anaheim postoffice on Monday. The San Francisco postoffice handled forty thousand of these missives, but then you must remember that San Francisco is a trifle larger than Anaheim.

On Wednesday morning and night 17 of an inch of rain fell. Threatening clouds have been plentiful all the week, but as yet the heavy rain which is absolutely necessary to insure a full crop, has failed to come. The season is phenomenal in respect to the oversupply of rain in the north and the absence of it in the south. Mr. C. Tustin writes us from Tombstone A. T. that he is heartily in favor of county division and authorizes us to make an offer of his store at Tustin City for use as a court house if the county seat is located at that flourishing place. "Whatever is, is right" is the subject to be debated at the meeting of the A. O. U. W. Lodge on Monday night. Mr. J. M. Guinn will argue in the affirmative and Mr. Frank Ey in the negative. Strawberries are selling in Anaheim for fifteen cents a pound. New York papers just to hand quote the rate in that city at $6 per quart at wholesale. There will be morning service as usual at St. Michael's church tomorrow beginning at 11 o'clock. Rev. A. G. L. Trew will be present and administer the Holy Communion. The exports from the Anaheim railway depot for the month of January amounted to 1,108,119 pounds and the imports to 215,907 pounds. The indications are that the imports this month will exceed by five times the January receipts. All the stores are laying in large supplies of merchandise. Sixty different kinds of ladies, children and misses stockings have been received by the American Cash Store. Messrs. F. and J. Backs are the agents for several sewing machines, among which is the Eldredge, the latest improved sewing machine in use. S OF LONG AGO History and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK FEBRUARY 22, 1906 The Southern California Editorial association held a two-days' session on Saturday and Sunday and experienced much pleasure as well as gaining much valuable information in swinging around the various old and new beach towns that beautify the southern coast. The association assembled in Los Angeles on Saturday morning at the assembly hall of the chamber of commerce where a buisness session was held. At 5 o'clock electric cars were taken for the new beach town of Venice where a delightful banquet was served on the ship hotel, Cabrillo, by courtesy of the Abbot Kinney company. On Sunday trips were made to San Pedro, where the scribes were welcomed by W. C. Hogaboon. Following came trips to Long Beach, Huntington Beach and Newport Beach where short stops were made. On being called to order on Saturday morning upwards of 100 editors and their wives were found to be present. J. P. Baumgartner of the Long Beach Press, presided. Edgar Johnson, of the Fullerton Tribune, the efficient secretary of the association, announced the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies would send messages free to members during the session. Harry Williams of the Whittier News was appointed assistant secretary. A deed has been recorded transferring 160 acres adjoining Modjeska's home "Arden" in Santiago canyon, to Mme. Modjeska. The former owner was the Southern Pacific company, and the piece of land will be included in the actress home recently sold to Leopold Moss of Chicago. Anaheim High School defeated Orange at baseball on the local diamond on Saturday by a score of 6 to 5. Dickel and Lewis were the local battery and did good work.

Kealiher has returned from Long Beach after an absence of several weeks, Mr. Kealiher sowed ten acres to alfalfa on his ranch west of town previous to the recent rain, and is of opinion he will not have to operate his pumping plant for some time to come. A party of mighty hunters went into the river bottom jungle on Sunday on a hunt for jack rabbits. The experience was exciting and quite a number of the long-eared varmints were slain. All the boys had a string of them to their credit. Among the hunters were Herman Stern, Wm. Brandenburg, Frank Arnold, N. B. Tedford, Louis Kroeger and the driver. The rabbits were prepared in toothsome style by Steve Cottle and discussed at the Eagles meeting on Monday night. Thomas Scott, who for six years has been the efficient deputy postmaster here, will sever his connections with the office in a few days to the infinite regret of the patrons of the office.

Prominent among the pictures for Friday night are the "Hold up of the Leadville Stage," "The Tragedy at Sea" and "The Hen That Laid the Golden Egg." Most all are beautifully hand colored. A feature of the show is the latest French apparatus and Ruby lens which eliminates the flicker and jerky effect so often seen in moving pictures. These pictures run steady and there is no tiring of the beholders' eyes as the pictures change place on the screen. The prices are in reach of all—10, 20, and 30 cents. Mrs. Langenberger entertained at luncheon on last Saturday, Messrs. Crowther, Bradford, Hale, Sherwood, McLauchlin and Gunderson, directors of the water company and Messrs.

And when I feel constipated, with headache and billiousness, 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, sinny—children and old people love it. Mild, yet thorough in action. Sudden colds, fevers, headache—conditions responsible for nearly all disease—a dore 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. Atwater Kent FEARN— The Set With the Golden Voice 113 So. L. A. Anaheim Atwater Kent FEARN— The Set With the Golden Voice 113 So. L. A.
