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 Citzens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK OCTOBER 1, 1881 The fund to be placed in trust for the wife and family of the late President Garfield now amounts to $321,000. Mrs. Ben Dreyfus, accompanied by her two sons, left Wednesday morning for San Francisco to visit with her relatives. Misses Goodman and Rimpau have received their new stock of fall and winter goods and invite the public to inspect the same. A list of delegates to the New York state Republican convention, chosen up to this time: Anti-machine, 154; machine, 5; doubtful, 5. David Raab of Pasadena is proud of an apple 11½ inches in circumference and weighing 33¼ ounces. It is supposed to be a Gloria Mundi. J. M. Irvin was thrown from his wagon in Los Angeles on last Saturday, by his team running away, and sustained injuries which it is feared will result fatally. Pedro Domingues of Los Angeles cut his "woman's" nose off during an unpleasantness between the two, and as a result he will pass the next twelve months at San Quentin. To Mr. C. E. Leonard is due the credit of draping and decorating St. Michael’s church on Monday. The emblems of mourning were most effectively placed, and the effect was generally remarked and admired.

To Mr. C. E. Leonard is due the credit of draping and decorating St. Michael's church on Monday. The emblems of mourning were most effectively placed, and the effect was generally remarked and admired. The wife of Dr. Higgins will leave for Philadelphia during the coming week, to be gone about six months. The purpose of her visit is to enter the Woman's College in that city for the study of special subjects. The prize burglary of the day has been unearthed. Some enterprising burglars broke into Mr. Averill's house in Los Angeles Sunday evening while the family was at church and succeeded in making off with 20 cents! The postoffice department has ordered a temporary mail service between Anaheim and Westminster and Mr. J. A. Willey, the present mail carrier, has been awarded the contract. The contract begins today (October 1) and expires July 1, but in the meantime Congress will pass the necessary law making it a regular mail route. The mails will be carried every day, Sundays excepted. Oscar S. Beals, a native of Ohio, aged 46 years, came to his death last Saturday at his farm in the Swamp, from the effects of a fit. He had gone out to attend his stock and, being gone longer than usual, his wife, knowing he was subject to fits, went out to look for him and found him lying face downward in the water of the ditch. Aid was immediately summoned, but life was found to be extinct. The arrival in Los Angeles of two of the normal school trustees, who will act in concert with Mr. O. W. Childs, the trustee appointed to represent this section of the state, will be followed by immediate work upon the new structure. The plan has been accepted, and Mr. Kent, formerly street superintendent of San Francisco, who will take charge as superintendent of the building, is here to enter actively upon his duties. Los Angeles has the honor of strewing the President's tomb with orange blossoms. Mr. W. T. Garratt of San Francisco, while en route to Cleveland, telegraphed from St. Louis to J. M. Griffith of Los Angeles to send a bushel of orange blossoms immediately to cover the grave of President Garfield. September is a difficult month to gather orange blossoms, but Mr. Griffith filled the order in the famous Wolfskill orchard and the fragrant blossoms are flying across the continent to perfume the martyred hero's grave. What other place in the Union could have furnished such a tribute besides Los Angeles? The community was shocked and surprised on Tuesday when the announcement was made that Mr. C. Mossemann had died at a few minutes past twelve. He had been sick for about a week, but it was not generally known that his illness was serious. He had been in business in Santa Ana for some time, and on Wednesday of last week he came over to his home here, complaining of malarial fever.

He had been sick for about a week, but it was not generally known that his illness was serious: He had been in business in Santa Ana for some time, and on Wednesday of last week he came over to his home here, complaining of malarial fever. Congestion of the lungs supervened with fatal result. Mr. Mossemann was one of the pioneers of Anaheim. His funeral—one of the most numerously attended which has ever taken place in Anaheim—attested the regard in which he was held. He was an honest, straightforward man, and his friends were legion. The funeral was conducted by Anaheim lodge No. 85, A. O. U. W., of which he was a member. Mr. Mossemann was born on November 19, 1831, the same day on which the late President Garfield was born. Mrs. Mossemann desires us to return her sincere thanks for the kindness shown to her both before and after the death of her husband. Out of respect to the dead President there was a complete cessation of business in Anaheim on Monday and every door was draped in black while the people mourned the death of one who had endeared himself to all. At 11 o'clock the Presbyterian church was filled with people. The pulpit and other prominent objects in the church bore mourning drapery, and wreaths of evergreens and Marechal Neil roses were placed with great taste. On the platform with the Rev. Mr. Robertson were the Reverends J. A. Emery, R. Staehle and W. Schildt. An appropriate address was delivered by the Rev. Robertson, Rev. Emery read the 60th Psalm and at the conclusion of the services the Rev. Staehle pronounced the benediction. The beautiful interior of St. Michael's Episcopal church was elaborately draped with mourning cloth and a profusion of beautiful roses and evergreens. A large audience was present and at 2 o'clock the services began. The burial service of the church was read by the Rev. J. A. Emery and in addition a special prayer which Bishop Kip required should be read in all the churches of his diocese. Mr. Emery then delivered the most perfect eulogy of the dead President which we have heard. The town trustees met in special session and passed a resolution concerning the death of the President. It was signed by Messrs. B. Dreyfus, D. E. Miles, F. A. Korn, D. W. C. Cowan, D. W. Fish, and attested to by R. Melrose, town clerk. A copy was sent to Secretary Blaine. A wild rumor has prevailed in all parts of the country that there had been an attempt to assassinate President Arthur, but there is no truth in the report.

George Haffen was reappointed to be pastor of the Methodist church for another year. Frank Dyer, Jack Abbott, Bob Quarton and John Kellenberger went to Los Angeles on Tuesday evening to witness the Burns-Flynn boxing contest. J. D. Heitshusen on Monday received a telegram from Herr Huenemeyer from Kansas City, stating that he would return to this city at once and resume his restaurant business. Miss Belen Gaxiola, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Gaxiola of this city and J. R. Viosca of Mexico were married this week at the home of the bride's parents. The happy young couple were the recipients of hearty congratulations from a host of friends. William Champlin reports dry gum wood scarcer than ever—Long Beach and other adjacent towns draw upon this valley for their supply which is becoming shorter and shorter. This week a stiff advance in price is noted, the price going from $9 to $10 per cord. Demands for gas continue on the increase. A hundred tons of onion sets is no small crop, yet that is the size of the onion-set crop raised by G. A. Murdoch on twenty-six acres of land near Westminster.

Pryor, a well-known up-state newspaper man, was in town in his automobile on Tuesday. Mr. Baumgartner states he will probably move from Long Beach to Santa Ana, where he has been received with wide-open arms, so to speak. Sherman Hayden has been appointed manager of the packing house by the walnut association and gives notice elsewhere that the packing house will open for business on October 10. Grading and packing will begin October 15. Mr. Hayden desires several men immediately. Look up his advertisement elsewhere if you are interested. L. Nemetz has sold to O. Lagman a building lot on Olive street near Center for $500, and the latter will shortly begin the erection of a residence. Mr. Nemetz will build two residences on the same street. In all, there are fifteen new residences in course of construction and in immediate prospect. A number of business blocks are also in contemplation. Judge R. C. Marquez was in the city on Saturday. The judge is filling the unexpired term of his deceased brother as justice of the peace of Yorba township. The Republican convention nominated Mr. Lemke for the place. Friends of Judge Marquez have requested him to become an independent candidate for the office but he has not yet given his consent. Mrs. Knapke and two daughters, Misses Anna and Josephine Knapke came on the Knights of Columbus special from Oxnard on Sunday and were guests of relatives in town during the day. Mrs. Knapke formerly resided here, but for several years has been a resident of Oxnard, where her son Henry Knapke is night superintendent at the sugar factory. Miss Anna sometime ago suffered the loss of the little fingers of both hands in a steam mangle. County School Superintendent Nichols visited local schools on Tuesday and found them working in excellent order. He has especially pleased at the progress made by the tots in Miss Callaghan's room at the Broadway street primary, where the little chaps are reading and writing with only three weeks of school. Professor Nichols speaks in high praise of the city's corps of teachers, saying it is probably the strongest ever employed by the district. The board of trustees of Anaheim school district wish to call the attention of parents and guardians of children of school age to the law regarding the attendance at school of such children. The law states that such children shall be in school at least two-thirds of time. Affairs of Week at Nation’s Capital (Corrrespondence to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.-Evidence is piling up here that the coming session of Congress, which will meet in a little over two months from now, will produce some of the most vicious attacks ever made on a President in recent times. Any stand Mr. Hoover sees fit to take is immediately assailed by his enemies and his announcement that he will veto any further payments to the soldiers on their bonus has led to a roar from all those wanting to curry favor with the veterans. It is considered likely that the soldiers' bonus will be used as the main weapon of attack against the President when Congress meets. The outcry against his veil, if he should oppose the bill, will probably be louder and more bitter than that which greeted President Wilson's attempt to make the United States a member of the League of Nations. All this is extremely displeasing to Mr. Hoover, who is not a fighter and who has more than once expressed himself with much bitterness regarding newspapers which like to play up all news about the friction always present at the seat of any nation, and particularly so at the capital this year. Mr Hoover is not a good publicist. He has never appreciated the angle of the Washington correspondents, who want action in their news and not drab accounts of things achieved. That is the only kind of news that the President can understand or that he is in sympathy with. The consequence is that he is more out of touch with the sources of news than almost any President since the turn of the century. He is the exact opposite of President Roosevelt who was never happy unless he was in the center of a controversy which got on the front page of every newspaper in the nation. Mr. Hoover's personal friends have often advised him to come out with a plain statement of his position, that he is not interested in politics as such nor in the petty bickering that most politicians indulge in when they are jockeying for position. He has refused to issue any formal statements, preferring to remain the target of abuse and leaving it to posterity to vindicate his official acts. Obviously this condition does not make Mr. Hoover a good president candidate and his main strength will be in the vast army of his apointees. These can be relied upon to deliver enough votes to insure his nomination. on Tuesday and found them working in excellent order.

Professor Nichols speaks in high praise of the city's corps of teachers, saying it is probably the strongest ever employed by the district. The board of trustees of Anaheim school district wish to call the attention of parents and guardians of children of school age to the law regarding the attendance at school of such children. The law states that such children shall be in school at least two-thirds of the time, during which there is school in the district where they reside. It makes it a misdemeanor, punishable with a fine for neglect of parents or guardians to comply with the provisions of the act, and makes it the duty of the clerk of the board of trustees to prosecute offenders. The first showers of the season fell on Saturday night at 9 o'clock as a result of the electrical disturbances which raged in the desert and mountains to the north and east. In the Placentia orchards fumigators were driven indoors by the downpour which continued spiritedly for a time and promised a heavy downpour. Lightning continued during the fore part of the night, accompanied by rumblings of distant thunder. The following day was the warmest of the year, the thermometer rising to 106. This is believed to be the warmest day in twenty years. Theodore Rimpau celebrated his eightieth birthday at his residence on Palm street Thursday. About this event cluster some interesting reminiscences of early California days. When a young man, Mr. Rimpau came from his native Germany to Los Angeles, where he won the heart of Miss Francisca Avila, the fair daughter of Francisco Avila, of a well known Spanish family and was married to her at the Plaza church by Father Sanchez, December 24, 1850. The house in which he courted the fair damsel, the one-story adobe next to the electric building on Olvera street near the Plaza, still stands, and is owned by the Rimpau heirs. Mr. Rimpau claims the distinction of being the first foreigner to marry a native daughter of California, and the two are believed to be the first couple married in California since that date to celebrate their golden wedding, an event that occurred at their home six years ago. To Mr. and Mrs. Rimpau were born fifteen children—eleven sons and four daughters. Two daughters and seven sons survive, all residents of Los Angeles and Anaheim. All of these and fifteen grandchildren were present at the birthday party. Mr. Rimpau came to Anaheim forty-one years ago, and has occupied his present home for thirty years. His wife died three years ago. He is still in good health and has yet to see his first illness. Often advised him to come out with a plain statement of his position, that he is not interested in politics as such nor in the petty bickering that most politicians indulge in when they are jockeying for position. He has refused to issue any formal statements, preferring to remain the target of abuse and leaving it to posterity to vindicate his official acts. Obviously this condition does not make Mr. Hoover a good presidential candidate and his main strength will be in the vast army of his appointees. These can be relied upon to deliver enough votes to insure his nomination and it is the campaign that will follow that will test his strength with the rest of the country. The most uncertainty in a slate-making way that exists right now, is regarding vice-presidential nominee Lately James Hamilton Lewis, the suave and courteous senator-elect from Illinois is bullying large in the public eye. It is no secret that the powerful Illinois delegation will cast its 58 vote for Lewis for President on the first ballot at the Democratic convention not that Illinois expects him to become the party candidate. It will merely be for trading purposes, and Lewis unquestionably would add considerably to the strength of the ticket, his only weakness being that he is not a millionaire, but an extremely modest individual in a financial way. Geographically, Lewis is in a class by himself. He was born in Virginia, raised in Georgia, moved to Oregon and served in Congress from that state. Then he went to Illinois and won election to the senate against the immensely popular Ruth Hanna McCormick, and will take his seat for the first time in December. In addition he is a master of many languages and repeatedly addresses Polish audiences in their own language, the Germans in theirs, while he is a great French scholar, even among Frenchmen. He also has a good grounding in Italian and the Scandinavian languages, an asset of immense value, even to a man who has a natural gift as a spellbinder in English. It is surprising the interest being taken in this city by the utterances and doings of "Coin" Harvey, otherwise William Hope Harvey, author of "Coin's Financial School," a book that nearly made Bryan president in 1896. Harvey who is 80, has started a new party that he calls the "Party of Prosperity." It is designed to win the support of dissatisfied farmers and unemployed industrial workers. He has devised a platform that promises them the relief they are seeking. His main supporters will come from those dubbed "the lunatic fringe" by Theodore Roosevelt, but it may be that his party will be the seed from which the long-expected third party may grow—perhaps under another name. He gives voice to the discontent of his many. Those who recall the campaign of 1896 will remember that his new theories of economics appeared unanswerable to all the big financiers until a young Chicago financier wrote an effective answer, under which the gold forces rallied and elected McKinley. The success of the reply won its author the vice-presidency of one of New York's greatest banks. Harvey's accomplishments in 1896 stamp him as a man not to be disregarded by the leaders of either of the big political parties.

Except Monday and Fridays New Outlet for Cling Peaches If experiments now being conducted by the University of California in cooperation with the state Bureau of Commerce succeed, a new export marketing outlet for cling peaches may result, according to E. M. Mrak, research assistant in fruit products in the College of Agriculture. A shipment of twenty barrels of California clings, in a solution of sulphurous acid, states Mr. Mrak, has just gone forward from Oakland to Germany and is to be used in the preparation of jams and jellies. This method of shipping cling peaches, of which California produces 98 percent of all grown in the United States, avoids the high duty placed on American canned goods and may open a new export field for one of California's important fruit crops. In preparing the fruit for shipment, the peaches were peeled and placed in the sulphurous solution both whole and halved. This method of processing fruit originated in Germany, according to Mr. Mrak, and has also been used in Italy on imports of cherries to the United States. During the last few years maximum production in cling peaches has created a serious problem in marketing, necessitating the financing of a large drop of the fruit to eliminate the unmarketable surplus. The experiment to reach the export market within the limitations of prices which foreign countries can afford to pay, will be watched with interest both by producers and distributors. 15th of October last CHANCE to buy of OCEAST CHANCE to buy Santa Fe SUMMER excursion TICKETS "back east" return limit Oct. 31 HURRY!
