IN THE DAYS OF 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 We learn that during the past week the sale of the large ranch, quite widely known as the "Metcalf" or "Given's ranch" lying about four miles northwest of our town has been consummated, Mr. Kenyon Cox, of New York. The senior member of the firm of A. Guy Smith & Co., of this place, being the buyer. This ranch, which covers just a half section of land (620 acres) is considered one of the most fertile and valuable of any about Anaheim. A great many thousand dollars have been spent upon it, but through lack of subsequent care, much of the investment has been only wasted, and we are glad to find that it has now fallen into the hands of so energetic and thorough a business man as Mr. Cox. The soil is most admirably adopted to the culture of trees and vines, as those now on the place, despite their shameful neglect, very plainly show. There are three flowing artesian wells which furnish water enough for all needed purposes in an ordinary season, the soil being so light and moist that scarcely any irrigation is needed. We are also glad to know that Mr. Cox has given Mr. S. B. Smith the superintendency of the ranch. Mr. Smith has commenced plowing fifty acres to be set to vines this spring and will plant cuttings enough for the setting of fifty acres more next year. The vines will all be of the Muscat variety, as the making of raisins and drying and canning of fruit is one of the ends sought by the owner. The barometer yesterday afternoon indicated rain, and there were other signs which make it not improbable that by the time this paper is printed a rain storm will have set in. It was raining in San Francisco yesterday. A telegram from that city on Thursday said: The signal service is authority for the statement that the indications point to a more general rain storm in this state than we have had for the past two months. This they predict for all points in the state. Crossed wi Theodore Rimpel the entire destri evening.

Pattangall, writes from Pembroke, Maine, enclosing a subscription to the Gazette, and in her letter says: "A copy of your paper strayed way down East into this region of frost and snow, reminding me of your genial climate, when I spent a part of the year 1869. I was the pioneer school teacher in the Fairview district and have very pleasant recollections of the people who dwelt there as well as of those people in Anaheim whom I had the pleasure of knowing. Of these I remember Mr. J. M. Guin school teacher in Anaheim. Parson Bates and family and Supt. McFadden. Plans are now being prepared for a brick building to occupy the southwest corner of Los Angeles and Center street. The building will be seventy feet on Center and one hundred and fifty on Los Angeles street and brick partitions will divide it into three stores—two on Center street, 35x100 feet each, and one on Los Angeles 50x30 feet. The contract for the construction of the building will begin as soon as possible. From Mr. Adolph Rimpau, who has been in San Diego for some weeks, we learn that there has been considerable rain in that county, the cold weather has retarded the growth of vegetation and there is a consequent suffering among sheep. Mr. Rimpau has rented the Penasquitos rancho in that county as range for his sheep, and will remove them in a few days to give them personal attention. Mr. Daniel Kraemer died at his residence on Monday afternoon. He was taken ill on the preceding Saturday, with paralytic symptoms, and almost from the moment he took to bed all hope of his recovery was bandoned. He was buried from St. Michael's church on Tuesday afternoon, and a large concourse paid their last tribute of respect. Many of his friends from Los Angeles being present, Mr. Kroemer was held in high esteem by our people—and esteem which was of late augmented by certain liberal and kind acts which placed the people of Anaheim under obligations to him. His family desire us to express for them their keen appreciation of the kindness shown to their father during his illness and the gratitude for the many expressions of regret at his death, and to assure their friends that these manifestations of kindly interest will ever be remembered by them.

The singers were hospitably entertained and several hours were spent in social enjoyment. The Liederkranz is composed of talented singers and under the direction of Prof. Finck will soon become an institution of which Anaheim may be proud. At a meeting of the Union Brass band held on Tuesday the name of the band was changed to "Anaheim Cornet Band," and the following officers were elected: C. W. Almes, president; H. Paddenatz, vice-president; Wm. Kroeger, secretary; N. A. Bittner, treasurer; A. Bittner, sergeant-at-arms; N. A. Bittner was chosen as leader. Mr. Wm. R. Olden and family leave today for Los Angeles where they will hereafter reside. The suddenness of their departure must be their apology for not calling upon many friends whom they would have wished to bid goodbye in person. Mr. C. Schindler has about concluded to burn a kiln of 300,000 or more brick near town. This will prove a stimulus to building and there is little doubt that all the brick will be put into buildings before the close of the year. Mr. Gad had thirty bags of rags on his truck Tuesday morning. They represented the industry of the Chinese ragpickers, who have been usually busy around town of late. The rags were destined for Los Angeles. By a clipping from a newspaper published at Mt. Vermon, O., we learn that Quincy A. Mitchell, a brother of N. H. Mitchell of Anaheim died suddenly at that place a few weeks ago by the bursting of a blood vessel. Mrs. S. A. Rorden has been appointed administratrix of the estate of Christian Rorden, with bonds fixed at $1000. Mrs. Eugene M. Harvey has been appointed postmastress at Silverado. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK Crossed wires in an upper ceiling of the two-story residence of Theodore Rimpau, at the corner of Palm and Broadway, caused the entire destruction of the building by fire early on Tuesday evening. An alarm was given shortly before 7 o'clock. At 9 the building was a mass of smouldering ruins. Mr. Rimpau and his two daughters were seated in the library after supper when their attention was directed to the crackling noise of the fire which was located in the ceiling of one of the rooms on the second floor. Cries of fire brought neighbors to the scene in a hurry and the work of moving furniture began. A telephone message was sent to the city hall and an alarm sent in from the fire department, a few seconds later, the hose cart was hurried to the scene of the fire. The hose was attached to a fire plug on Center street two blocks away. The water pressure was poor and the fire gained headway steadily. At one time the water ceased entirely and when it was later turned on again, a break in the long hose occurred, which caused additional delays. Hundreds of people gathered. Many of whom assisted in carrying out furniture. Most of the contents were saved. Mr. Rimpau desires us to state that he is unable to find words to express his deep sense of obligation to the fire department and citizens generally for their work at the fire. Prof. J. Franklin Walker, principal of the high school was on Tuesday, on recommendation of Supervisor Linebarger of this district appointed a member of the county board of education. He also the endorsement of county school superintendent Carpenter and of numerous leading citizens of this city and Fullerton. Originally there was three candidates for the position made vacant by the retirement of Prof. Carpenter on his election as county school superintendent. Besides the successful applicant there were Prof. Brunton of the Fullerton Union High School; Prof. Harvey of Placentia and Prof. Marbut of Olinda. Prof Walker is known as CRAB APPLE JELLY Wash, remove blossom ends, but do not peel or core. Cut in rather small pieces, cover with cold water and cook gently until soft.

He holds a high school teachers certificate and since his residence here has demonstrated his fitness as an able and painstaking educator. George L. Wagner reports a raise of 34 feet of water in his well on his potato plantation on the east side since the rains began falling the latter part of November. Mr. Wagner's well is 140 feet deep and the well pit 88 feet. When dug two years ago water came to the floor of the pit. Water now stands at a depth of 50 feet in the pit. It recedes only two feet after a day's pumping, and rises instantly to its former level when pumping ceases. Mr. Wagner regards it as the greatest well in the county. He and his brother will plant 200 acres to potatoes this year. The crop the present season was sold exclusively for seed, the stock being shipped to many points in Southern California. A distribution of 5000 acres of land at Wasco, Kern county was made to 250 people at the chamber of commerce assembly room in Los Angeles on Thursday.

Improvements will be made and representatives of the colony will be placed in charge. Samuel Kraemer on Saturday purchased from Ferdinand Heying the fifty foot lot on Center street occupied by the restaurant conducted by Mr. Heying according to reports about $6000 The lot contains a two-story frame building, which will later on be replaced by a modern brick structure.

Sister Celestine, for eleven years past a member of the order of Dominican Sisters at St. Catherine's academy, died at that institution at an early hour on Friday morning after a lingering illness. She was a native of Bavaria, and was aged 36 years. She was known by many of the townspeople and was highly esteemed for her lovable traits of character. She gave her life to the ministering and education of the poor and richly earned the rest and peace which comes to those who prove their faith by deeds of charity. The funeral occurred on Saturday. Services were held at the chapel. Interment was in the Sisters plot at the Catholic cemetery in Los Angeles. Peace and rest be with this gentle sister of charity. Ed.

Colic No cause for alarm if Castoria is handy. This pure vegetable preparation brings quick comfort, and can never harm it. It is the sensible thing when children are alling. Whether it's the stomach, or the little bowels; colic or constipation; or diarrhea. When tiny tongues are coated, or the breath is bad. Whenever there's need of gentle regulation. Children love the taste of Castoria, and its mildness makes it safe for frequent use. And a more liberal dose of Castoria is always better for growing children than strong medicine meant only for adult use.
