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 and 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK AUGUST 22, 1907 High school trustees are negotiating for the purchase of a flagstaff to be placed in the grounds in front of the school, as well as for a large flag to surmount the same. The present flagstaff upon the building would be religated to the rear, as well as the ladder which it is necessary to mount in order to raise Old Glory to the breezes thereupon. This ladder stands at the side of the main entrance and will henceforth be given a more inconspicuous position. Progress is the watchword at the high school. Property owners of Magnolia school district have signed petitions asking that the district be annexed to the Anaheim high school district, and this action will probably be taken by the supervisors in accordance with the statutes. The high school trustees have already acted upon the petition favorably the same bearing signatures of nearly every property owner in the Magnolia district. Garden Grove and Centralia school districts are also considering the propriety of joining Anaheim high. A number of students from these districts now attend high school here. Only two voters made objection to the levy of a special tax of $2000 by the Anaheim school district at the election on Wednesday, while 22 favored the necessary expedition. Little interest was taken in the vote and only 24 votes were cast. J. B. Rae, C. Bruce and F. C. Rimpau were the election board. The money when raised will be used to paint Central and Katella school buildings, for necessary repairs and for the construction of stairways at the north and south ends of the former structure. Stairways at present are at the center of the building and it is for the better modes of egress in case of fire that the new stairways are to be built.

Charles Allgeyer reports the walnut crop at Brookshurst to be in fine condition, promising a better yield than last season. He finds blight decreasing, and notes a peculiar incident in relation there to. He states that trees which are thus affected are attacked year after year, while as many as a dozen trees surrounding them never drop a nut, being unaffected with the blight. The trees attacked are seemingly as vigorous as any in the orchard, having excellent foliage and devery appearance of being in robust condition, yet these suffer the loss of a growth of their nuts in varying quantities year after year. Trees alongside of them have never been attacked. Mr. Allgeyer contemplates purchasing an additional thirty acres of walnuts and will also go in extensively for cabbage raising. J. C. Zimmerman arrived here this week and purchased Mrs. Watson's place of two acres at the corner of Los Angeles and South streets paying $2250 therefor. Mr. Zimmerman has been a resident of Los Angeles for some months past, but lived for fifty years in Wisconsin where he farmed extensively. He is favorably impressed with the city and its surroundings. He will make an excellent citizen and we extend him an hospitable welcome to our city. Mrs. Watson gives possession October 1st, she will purchase another lot and will erect a handsome dwelling. W. Arnold Wickett, M. D., has associated himself with Dr. H. A. Johnston, and the new firm which will be known as Drs. Johnston and Wickett has opened offices at 310 South Los Angeles street. Dr. Johnston needs no introduction at our hands, having been a successful healer of the sick here for a number of years past. Dr. Wickett is a recent graduate of a Los Angeles merical college, where he won his diploma with high honors. The doctors' professional card will be found elsewhere in this issue and the attention of our readers is respectfully directed thereto. Fayette Lewis, Ted Dickel, Ernest Clabaugh, Charles Schindler and Earl Crawford departed on Saturday for Berkeley, where on Monday they resumed their studies at the university. Lewis and Dickel will probably qualify for positions upon the Varsity nine, the former as shortstop, the latter as one of the staff of twirlers. But for the rules debarring freshmen from playing upon the team Lewis would probably have qualified for a place upon the team last year. Willie Winsell, Andy Fuhrberg and Ben took leave on the first for a twenty-days hunting trip to Smith mountain in San Diego county, and neighboring points. They go by way of Corona and the Temecula canyon. They will visit the Cuyamaca mountains and return by ythe coast route. They go in search of deer, as well as smaller game and look forward to an enjoyable camping trip... and Dickel will probably qualify for positions upon the Varsity nine, the former as shortstop, the latter as one of the staff of twirlers.

They go in search of deer, as well as smaller game and look forward to an enjoyable camping trip. Mrs. Sophie Schindler entertained a large party of young friends at her home on Wednesday evening of last week in honor of Miss Elsie Bvram who is soon to be married to a popular Pasadenan. Following music and social conversation a genuine Dutch supper was served. Those present were Misses Elsie Bvram, Lena Kroeger, Tillie Martin, Henrietta and Sophie Schindler, and Messrs. Frank Tausch, Gen Woods, Charles Alford Theodore Dickel, Richard Fischle and Herman Schindler. Mrs. I. Asher sailed on Tuesday from Bremen on the Kaiser William du Grosse for her home in this city, after visiting relatives in the Fatherland during three months. Her health has been greatly improved by her sojourn abroad. She is accompanied by two sisters and a brother-in-law, and expects to reach home in two weeks. Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Wallon returned this week from a three months' tour of the east, including a visit to the Jamestown fair points in Virginia and elsewhere. On their way home they stopped for a brief visit in Marshalltown, Iowa. They report an enjoyable trip and return in excellent health and spirits. Miss Helen Hein is constructing a $3000 pumping plant on her 35 acre ranch in the east end. She has bored two large wells, the production of water from which indicates the existence of a large underground supply in that neighborhood. Mrs. Mosseman of Los Angeles is visiting relatives in Mills Valley. Mrs. Mosseman was accompanied on her trip by her grandson, Fayette Lewis, who goes to re-enter the University at Berkeley. The Episcopal Sunday school picnicked at Anaheim Landing on Thursday. Children from this city were chaperoned by Miss L. L. Ingraham. Rev. Deering accompanied a party from Orange, and all report an enjoyable day's outing. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK AUGUST 19, 1882 The closing of the Santa Ana bank has been the sensation of the week in our neighboring town. The bank did no business on Tuesday. B. F. Seibert assigned all of his property to C. F. Man-sur and C. W. Wilcox two creditors of the bank. Mr. Seibert claims that false rumors caused a run upon the bank and about $40,000 was withdrawn by depositors. There is owing to depositors about $85,000 and to the Farmers and Merchants Bank of Los Angeles about $20,000. That bank is secured by collaterals representing over $60,000. Mr. Seibert claims that the depositors will lose nothing, that all his loans are secured and that his real estate purchases will realize handsomely. That this view is shared by others is evidenced by the fact that several thousand dollars in claims have been purchased by Gildmacher and others of Santa Ana for fifty and seventy-five per cent of their value. The depositors held a meeting on Tuesday and appointed a committee composed of Judge Humphreys, James McFadden and J. G. Phillips to take charge of the investigation and to ascertain if a schedule had been filed, and whether it embraced all the property. Last year Mr. E. S. Saxton of North Anaheim attempted to bud lemon on peach, but the buds failed to start. The strings with which the buds were tied were allowed to remain on the limbs, and as the tree grew the strings sank into the wood and the limbs above where the strings were tied made a much larger growth than the other parts of the tree. On those limbs, also, the fruit was more numerous, larger and ripened one month earlier than the fruit on the limbs where no ligature had been applied. There is a hint in this for those who have trees which are shy bearers. The marriage of Mr. Charles S. Miles of Anaheim, as our By Rev. Charles E. Dunn, D. D. The Ten Commandments, I. Exodus 20:1-11 The Ten Commandments, hammered by Moses into tables of stone at Mt. Sinai, according to the familiar narrative of Exodus, comprise the basic moral law of the Hebrew people, and of Christian civilization. Our lesson deals with the first four of these pithy laws, which outline man's fundamental obligation to God. The remaining six laws in the Decalogue treat of man's duty to his fellows. Note that the first Commandment, "Thou shalt have no other gods before me," does not deny the existence of many deities. It was a long time before the Hebrews arrived at that subline conviction of the unknown prophet of the exile that there is one God only, "the God of the whole earth." What the Commandment means is that the God of Israel must be given the preference over rival gods. Today it might paraphrase to read, "Thou shalt have at least one God." For our danger is not that we are tempted to worship many gods, but to repudiate God and worship altogether. The Second Commandment, a sweep- Coveted 1. C. 4-A.

The strings with which the buds were tied were allowed to remain on the limbs, and as the tree grew the strings sank into the wood and the limbs above where the strings were tied made a much larger growth than the other parts of the tree. On those limbs, also, the fruit was more numerous, larger and ripened one month earlier than the fruit on the limbs where no ligature had been applied. There is a hint in this for those who have trees which are shy bearers. The marriage of Mr. Charles S. Miles of Anaheim, as our readers know, took place at Media, Pa., on the 2nd instant and was attended by several incidents which deserve mention. Two days beforee the marriage, Mr. Miles and Miss Rowland were riding in a buggy, and the spirited horse, becoming frightened at some object, ran away, throwing both of the occupants of the buggy to the ground. The young lady was quite seriously hurt, her spine being injured so badly that the physicians decided it would be a month before she would be able to move about. Mr. Miles received severe bruises, but not bad enough to incapacitate him. As the preparations for the marriage ceremony had all been made, the young people decided to go ahead, despite the accident, and the wedding was performed with the groom swathed in sticking plaster and the bride lying almost helpless in bed. Alex Rothenstein, D. G. C. of the Order of Chosen Friends, instituted a Council in Anaheim on last Wednesday evening. It is called Magnolia Council and has about fifty charter members. The following are the officers: A. W. Steinhart, P. C. C.; C. E. Leonard, C. C.; A. Rimpau, V. C.; R. W. Scott, secretary; H. Kroeger, treasurer; Mrs. Jennie E. Leonard, prelate; Arthur Lewis, marshal, Mrs. V. C. Hardin, warden; H. C. Gade, guard; Chas. Higgins sentry. The Santa Ana Herald of yesterday contained marriage notices in which the names of three young ladies of Anaheim figured. The notices were bogus and the editor was doubtless imposed upon: He has been asked to furnish the name of the person who gave him the false information, and if he can do so there will be some lively music and don't you forget it. A London paper says that Tennyson "likes drowsy, brown Autumn hillsides, somnolent sheep, and deep, dark, inland lakes not easily accessible or too near." Mr. Tennyson is right. No family circle is complete without a brown Autumn hillside and a smnolent sheep or two. Doughnuts and beer are also very beautiful. The large engine of Mr. Sheffield has been purchased by Messrs. Rowland and Chandler for use at the Puente oil wells. The wells are developing well, and as they are but seven miles from Anaheim, it is more than probable that a pipe line will soon bring the fluid here for use and shipment. Sunday seemed to be a day prolific in brawls for there were two serious affrays in Los Angeles. In a fight between Tiburel Gonzales and Faustino Leon, the latter was severely stabbed. In another quarrel Jose Verdugo was stabbed by Jesus Mender and Juan Lopez. At San Gabriel, Mariana Rivas was shot and instantly killed by Jose Melendez during a quarrel in the living room.

In another quarrel Jose Verdugo was stabbed by Jesus Mender and Juan Lopez. At San Gabriel, Mariana Rivas was shot and instantly killed by Jose Melendez during a quarrel in the dining room of the hotel at that place. The San Francisco Bulletin says that F. W. Morse of the Viticultural Laboratory left last week for Los Angeles to investigate the ravages of phylloxera in Southern California. If there is any phylloxera in the vineyard of Southern California the vintners are in blissful ignorance of the fact. The Bulletin is in serious error. Frank Toal, a blacksmith living in Los Angeles, brutally beat his wife last Saturday night. He was sent to jail for one hundred days and had to pay a fine of fifty dollars. Henry Croben, another brute, was arrested on a charge of beating his wife, but has not yet been tried. Los Angeles seems to have a plethora of such scoundrels. The Anaheim public schools re-opened on Monday for the fall term, and one hundred and fifty-five pupils are reported in attendance. This number will be increased as the families now in the mountains or at the seaside resorts return to their homes. County School Superintendent Hinton reports 143 schools in the county, 77 school districts, 143 teachers (53 males and 90 females), and 7805 pupils enrolled (3986 boys and 3819 girls). Messrs. A. E. and E. A. White will shortly receive a stock of Mitchell farm wagons, different styles, light and heavy, which they will sell at Los Angeles prices. Don't buy a wagon until you have seen their assortment and learned their terms. D. Strodthoff offers a reward for a dark brown colt about two years old which strayed away on Thursday, had on halter with rope about 12 feet long. Dr. J. A. Crane of Santa Ana left on Friday of last week for a visit to his old home at Mount Pleasant, Iowa. Although we hope he will enjoy his vacation, we also hope that he will find it not so pleasant as to induce him to unduly prolong his stay. Sunday School Lesson Charles E. Dunn, D. D. Commandments. I. Exodus 20:1-11 Commandments, hammered tables of stone at Mt. to the familiar marraces, comprise the basic Hebrew people, and civilization. Deals with the first four laws, which outline mental obligation to God. Six laws in the Decanian's duty to his fellows. The first Commandment, have no other gods besides one God, not deny the existence of it. It was a long time brews arrived at that nation of the unknown exile that there is one God of the whole Commandment means of Israel must be given over rival gods. Today heirased to read. "Thou hast one God." For our what we are tempted to do gods, but to repudiate him altogether. Commandment, a sweeping prohibition of the carving of idols, was necessary in Moses' day, when the making of images was carried to excess. For our rown time, however, it is far too drastic. We are lovers of art and appreciate its immense contribution of the religious impulse. For us the Commandment means a protest not against artistic symbols of God, but against gods purely man-made, constructed after our own pattern. Our God is pure Spirit, mightier and grander than any picture, mental or material, we may draw of Him. The Third Commandment protects the sanctity of oaths. In this day of slipshod talk, falsehood and perjury we need to take it much to heart. As Jesus insisted, our Yea should be precisely Yea, and our Nay exactly Nay. It is also a protest against profanity, an inevitable sign of feeble vocabulary and improvised thinking. The Rourth Commandment was never more needed. The trend of our day is to make Sunday a holiday rather than a holy day. Now Sunday presents a splendid opportunity for rest, worship, the home life, and the personal life. Are we not in danger of losing these values through our lust for pleasure and speed on the Lord's Day?
