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 a 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK APRIL 16, 1881 The Los Angeles Commercial has been enlarged to a twenty column paper. We are pleased to record our worthy contemporary's prosperity. A. B. Holmes, of Los Angeles, who went to the Sandwich Islands some time ago for his health died at sea as he was returning home on the 7th inst. The barkentine Webfoot arrived on the 10th inst at Wilmington from Oregon with a cargo of laths and fencing lumber for Messrs. A. Guy Smith & Co. C. T. Ryland, one of the Normal school trustees, has announced his intention to resign so that Los Angeles may be represented on the board of appointment of a member from that city. We understand that Mr. W. H. Henderson is about to give up the profession of teaching and turn his attention to business. He will open a store in Los Angeles as soon as the goods arrive from the east. Rev. S. B. King will preach Sunday morning at the Presbyterian church at 11 o'clock. Sunday school at 9:45 o'clock. The Bible class is open to casual visitors as well as regular attendants. All are welcome. M. A. Mendelson and family will remove to Los Angeles during the early part of next month. Until his departure, auction prices will rule at his store, as it is imperative that he get rid of his stock of goods. It would appear as if the jackrabbits had taken warning from the published announcement that a crusade against them would Rev. S. B. King will preach Sunday morning at the Presbyterian church at 11 o'clock. Sunday school at 9:45 o'clock. The Bible class is open to casual visitors as well as regular attendants. All are welcome. M. A. Mendelson and family will remove to Los Angeles during the early part of next month. Until his departure, auction prices will rule at his store, as it is imperative that he get rid of his stock of goods. It would appear as if the jackrabbits had taken warning from the published announcement that a crusade against them would be held last Saturday for they were otherwise unaccountably absent from their usual haunts. Only twenty-seven jacks fell in the fray. The question to be discussed at the meeting of Anaheim Lodge A. O. U. W., on Monday evening is, "Resolved, That women should be eligible to membership in our order." Affirmative, Messrs. Guinn, Sorenson and Ferguson; Negative, Messrs. Melrose, Leonard and Cowan. Mr. B. F. Coulter, of Los Angeles, makes his bow to our readers this morning through our advertising columns. Mr. Coulter has one of the best known and most largely stocked establishments in Los Angeles and he enjoys a large trade with people from all parts of the county. An Adventist revival in progress in Los Angeles. The subject of the discourse the other night was "Spiritualism," and the speaker denounced it in such strong terms that many of his hearers got up and left the audience. One lady so far forgot herself as to denounce the preacher as a liar. Constable Bohn attempted to cross the railroad track near the depot on Wednesday evening and was struck by the incoming train. He clung to the cowcatcher until the train stopped at the depot. His arm is broken and he was severely bruised and shaken up. His injuries will confine him to his home for some time. Mr. Phillip Hammes, one of Anaheim's Pioneers, died yesterday morning at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Frohling. Mr. Hammes was aged 80 years. He had been ailing for some time and his death was not unexpected. The funeral to which all his friends and acquaintances are invited will take place this morning at 10 o'clock. Mr. Deckee, who left here last year for Arizona and who was reported to have been killed by Indians, is freighting between Wilcox and Globe and is making money. Mr. Sparks, who accompanied him from here, is in New Mexico and is also doing well. The report of their massacre arose from the fact that a party of emigrants, who were encamped upon the spot where the Decker party had stopped a few days previous, were surrounded by Indians and butchered. The stockholders of the Anaheim Water company elected the following Board of Directors on last Saturday: B. Dreyfus, F. Hartüng, F. A. Korn, E. Barr, and Richard Melrose. Mr. J. P. Zeyn was elected commissioner. The Board organized by electing B. Dreyfus, president; F. Hartung, vice-president; F. A. Wilcox and Globe and is making money.

The adjourned general meeting of stockholders will convene at 3 o'clock this afternoon to discuss matters of vital importance. Every stockholder should be present and give expression to his views. Don Mateo Keller, a resident of this county since 1850, died at his home in Los Angeles on Monday morning of heart disease, while setting in his chair at the breakfast table. Deceased was seventy years of age. He leaves a large estate which he bequeaths to his children as shown by the following extract from his will. I give, bequeath and devise all my property to my children, Mary Jane Keller, aged 17 years, Caroline Keller, aged 15 years, Alice E. Keller, aged 14 years, Henry W. Keller, aged 12 years, and Ida Keller, aged 7 years, share and share alike, subject to the following conditions to-wit: Should any of the above named females enter a religious order, Convent or Nunnery, then in that event either or all of them so entering of becoming mebers of said religious order shall forfeit all rights, interest, and inheritance in my estate forever. Tomorrow being Easter Sunday, the font, which the children of the Sunday school have presented to St. Michael's church will be uncovered, if it arrives in time. It is artificial stone, from designs by E. L. Ransome of San Francisco, and cost, delivered here, about $50. The young ladies of the Mission have undertaken the decoration of the church, and are fortunate in having an abundance of flowers for the purpose. The Rev. Wm. H. Hill, of San Francisco, will assist in the services and administer the Holy Communion Prayer at the usual hour of 11 o'clock and evening prayer at half past seven. The offertory in the morning beyond the regular pledges will be devoted to the painting of the church, something that is very much needed and toward which liberal contributions are asked; that in the evening will be devoted to the current expenses of the church—the lighting, cleaning, assessments, etc. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK APRIL 19, 1906 Eugene H. Clay Kellogg was in town on Monday evening in his automobile. He has been engaged in surveying along the North Branch ditch. Rev. Father Dubble was indisposed Sunday evening and no services were held in the Catholic church that evening. He has now regained his aforetime good health. Peter Bonkosky died on Sunday at his ranch in the West End. He was aged 63 years. He had resided here twelve years and leaves a family of grown children to mourn his loss. A. Johns was in town on Tuesday from the section southeast of the city. Mr. Johns reports conditions favorable for crops of all kinds and looks for abundant prosperity for the whole county. J. B. Rae made a trip to El Modena a few days ago to inspect the Perkins rose nursery. This nursery has shipped east this season 350,000 rose bushes and expect to ship a total of half a million before the season closes. Druggist Mullinix while bowling some evenings ago sustained a bad sprain of the ankle which incapacited him from business for a couple of days. Drs. Johnston and Sayre were in attendance and Mr. Mullinix is able to be about again. Mrs. W. G. Cowan, wife of Rev. W. G. Cowan former pastor of the Methodist church in this city died at her home in Long Beach on Saturday after a long illness. She was a native of Virginia and was in her sixty-sixth year. A meeting of Walnut growers was held in Hahn’s office on Saturday when it was decided to form a new association. The Affairs of Week at Nation’s Capital WASHINGTON, D. C.—Shortage of food, due to drought conditions, is still a source of suffering in nearly 400 counties in seven states, according to a survey by the Department of Agriculture made available on March 17. Relief by the Red Cross and other notional and local agencies must be continued in some parts until July and August, the survey indicates. Vaccinations against typhoid have reached unprecedented heights in some of the states, particularly Kentucky. The greatest shortage at present consists in food for livestock and some districts have resorted to the practice of grazing their mules half a day and working them the other half, thereby avoiding the use of grain. Fall gardens have helped out in many cases, although lack of water stopped their being planted in all but a few states. Texas was able to produce a fine turnip crop that helped out materially. The afflicted districts are being forced to borrow money to bring in vast amounts of foodstuffs for their animals and this condition will not be ameliorated until early this summer, the survey shows. Government support of wheat prices will be withdrawn, following the May 1 deliveries of the 1930 crop, the Federal Farm Board announced late last month. The huge surplus of 1930, which may exceed that of the year before, has convinced the officials that it is no longer feasible to try to support the price unless farmers will cut down their acreage. Surveys indicate that farmers have cut their spring planting ten percent, half of the twenty percent which members of the Board had asked. In any event the Federal Farm Board has stated that no support will be given the 1931 crop, which will have to stand on its own bottom. Sam H. Thompson, for the past five years president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, has succeeded Alexander Legge as a member of the Federal Farm Board. Legge returning Druggist Mullinix while bowing some evenings ago sustained a bad sprain of the ankle which incapacitated him from business for a couple of days. Drs. Johnston and Sayre were in attendance and Mr. Mullinix is able to be about again. Mrs. W. G. Cowan, wife of Rev. W. G. Cowan former pastor of the Methodist church in this city died at her home in Long Beach on Saturday after a long illness. She was a native of Virginia and was in her sixty-sixth year. A meeting of Walnut growers was held in Hahn's office on Saturday when it was decided to form a new association. The following directors were elected for the ensuing year: Samuel Kraemer, Otto Rust, Frank Shanley, John Eyman, S. Hayden. Mr. and Mrs. Spake, their little daughter, Mr. Goble and J. H. Enearl joined the Knight Templar excursion from Santa Ana to Long Beach on Sunday and participated in the Knight Templar celebration of Easter at that seaside town. They went over the Santa Fe and Salt Lake routes, departing at 10:45 and returning at 7:30. Tim Carroll has invented a safety clutch for automobiles. He has recently received contracts for constructing 35 of his patented dumps. In his spare moments, when his inventive genius is not employed in devising new devises to be submitted to the Patent office, he ships trees from his nurseries, and has at times as many as twenty men employed in digging them up and preparing them for the cars. Senator Jones was in town from Garden Grove on Monday looking in fine health and spirits. He states that he will have 4000 acres of good stand beets in the Talbert bottoms. Five hundred acres were washed out by the recent river overflow, but have been replanted and are doing well. A large additional area of overflowed land is producing a fine stand, it having been unnecessary to replant. The Anaheim high school ball team defeated the Orange club on the local diamond on Saturday in a ten-inning game, the score being 4 to 3. This makes the second game Anaheim has won from Orange, the latter winning one. Orange claims they were defeated on account of poor grounds. Lewis was the star performer at the bat hitting out a two and three base hit and a single. Dickel and Lewis were the local battery. Pratt and Elliott for the visitors. Wadel in left field made a pretty one hand catch. Mrs. Peter Weisel entertained on Monday afternoon in honor of her sisters, the Misses Cline. A very pleasant time was spent in singing and music and games. The first prize at cards was won by Miss Anne Everhardy and the consolation was carried off by Mrs. Jacob Everhardy. Those present were Mrs. Weisel, Misses Cline, Miss Zeyn, Miss Robison, Miss Everhardy, Miss Strodthoff, Miss Johnston, Miss Olga Zeus, Mrs. Jacob Everhardy, Mrs. C. G. McKinley, Mrs. Strodthoff, Mrs. Hiltscher, Mrs. Rylands, Mrs. J. F. Ahlborn, Mrs. Wickett, Mrs. Johnston, Mrs. Falkenstein, Mrs. Asher, Mrs. W. J. Wallop, Mrs. Hatzfield, Mrs. Fred Backs, Jr., Mrs. Melrose. A freight wreck on the Santa Fe at Northam at midnight tossed seven cars in the ditch and tied up the road until half- A freight wreck on the Santa Fe at Northam at midnight tossed seven cars in the ditch and tied up the road until half-past ten the following day. The midnight limited southbound was stopped at Northam. The train was crowded, among the passengers being a number of local members of Woodnen returning from Los Angeles as well as several from Fullerton. Among those from this city on the train were J. H. Clabaugh, B. V. Beebe, Louie Miller, Frank Borth, Richard Fischle, Joe Backs, Roland Goble, J. T. Wells, R. Janie, W. H. Tompson, E. M. Bushnell, Walter Pratt, U. S. Amack and others. They decided to walk home. The first party to leave the train started at about 1:30 and reached home about 3:30. Others continued to arrive until 4:30. Fritz Martin and wife, C. I. Hoople and Herman Bennerscheidt decided to stay with the train which was run upon a side track. The track was cleared away and a train reached this city at 11 o'clock. J. H. Clabaugh received telegraphic information at the Santa Fe depot from San Francisco yesterday morning that an earthquake had done great damage in that city. The Palace hotel was said to be in ruins and on fire. The Call and Examiner buildings near by were also wrecked and the Chronicle building across the street from the Examiner office was also damaged. Water mains had burst and fires had broken out in many parts of the city. Mr. Pickering received word at the Southern Pacific depot that the Hobart building across the street diagonally from the Palace hotel had been wrecked. At noon the following dispatch was received: San Francisco April 18—at 5:45 A.M. the worst earthquake ever experienced here occurred. Many buildings are wrecked and the wohlesale district near the water frone is in flames. Fire department almost helpless on account of the bursting of water pipes. Electric power and lights all over town cut off and business at a stanstill. A great fire is raging on the South side, and another is eating its way up Market Street from the water front. Only communication possible with this city is by Postal telegraph. The latest report as we go to press is that 10,000 people are dead and the entire city is in flames. All wires are down and it is impossible to obtain later information. ABOUT two hours after eating many people suffer from sour stomachs. They call it indigestion. It means that the stomach nerves have been over-stimulated. There is excess acid. The way to correct it is with an alkali, which neutralizes many times its volume in acid. The right way is Phillips Milk of Magnesia—just a tasteless dose in water. It is pleasant, efficient and harmless. Results come almost instantly. It is the approved method. You will never use another when you know. Be sure to get the genuine Phillips Milk of Magnesia prescribed by physicians for correcting excess acids. 25c and 50c a bottle—any drugstore. "Milk of Magnesia" has been the U.S. Registered Trade Mark of the Charles H. Phillips Chemical Company and its predecessor Charles H. Phillips since 1875. Week of Nation's Capital ON, D.

Flying Secretary David Sinton Ingalls, Assistant Secretary of the Navy in charge of aviation, who is an expert flyer himself. tect at that time submitted plans for remodeling the east front, although advising that active work be withheld until the country emerged from the Civil War and was in a better financial position. Since then, in 1889 and 1901, various plans were ordered by Congress and estimates raging around $3,000,000 were made for the proposed changes. These plans never reached fruition, however. Now David Lynn, the present architect of the Capitol, is asking for another $5,000 appropriation to have plans made to complete the work. Extensive marble work outside of the central portion will be required to complete the building and to avoid the painting of that section every four years, as has been done ever since the Capitol was formally opened. It is not current issues, but currency issues, that the Democratic National Committee will need to consider most seriously.—Atlanta Constitution.
