IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of an Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Anaheim, Calif., April 5, 1934 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK APRIL 15, 1909 Death rang down the curtain for Madame Helena Modjeska, the Countess Chlapowski at her Bay Island home in Newport harbor on Thursday morning last. For many days the actress whom so many of our people have known and loved lay in a stupor. At her bedside was Count Bozenta, now past his 70th birthday, Ralph Modjeska and family and Ludwig Opid, nephew of the actress and his family. The body was removed to Los Angeles, and will be shipped to Cracow, Poland for interment. Madame Modjeska had lived at Bay Island during the past two years. She had made her home in Orange county since 1876 when she first came to America. She lived at Anaheim later at Arden in Santiago canyon, later she moved to Tustin then to Bay Island. She was born in Cracow, October 12, 1844. While still in her teens she married M. Modjeska and had a baby son, Ralph Modjeska. After his death she married Charles Chlapowski (Count Bozenta) who survives her. Her artistic career really began after her second marriage when she secured an engagement in the Imperial theatre in Warsaw. Her first great hit was made in "Adrienne Lecoureur" and so magnificent was her acting that her battle was won. She later came to America settling in Anaheim with a Polish colony of artists, among them being Sienkiewitz, author of "Quo Vadis." Here she studied English and going to San Francisco was, after many reverses, allowed to give a trial exhibition in "Adrienne Lecoureur" when as before she scored a great success, and was from that time on known as the greatest tragedienne of the day. Assemblyman Melrose attended a banquet tendered the Los Angeles legislative delegation by the National guard at the Jonathan club in Los Angeles on Saturday evening. The affair was in recognition of the passage of a bill appropriating $100,000 for the erection of an armory building in that city. Brig-Gen.

The affair was in recognition of the passage of a bill appropriating $100,000 for the erection of an armory building in that city. Brig.-Gen. Wankowski, Col. Schrieber and other military notables were present, besides the Los Angeles delegation with the exception of Speaker P. A. Stanton who is ill of pneumonia in a Los Angeles hospital. During the evening Mr. Melrose made a lengthy address upon the national guard and its influence for good in the community. The following sale of a 43-acre ranch adjoining the city limits on the northeast, 35 acres of which are set to full bearing oranges and eight acres to alfalfa is reported. The place is highly improved and is considered one of the best ranches in the district. W. J. Conner, the owner, took in part payment for his ranch 560 acres of land situated in Missouri, which belonged to W. H. Cassidy. The latter is now moving on the ranch and will make it his home. The place is valued at $45,000. F. W. Hartman of Los Angeles accompanied by his wife and family drove down from Los Angeles in his auto on Sunday, and was during the day a guest of Max Nebelung. Mr. Hartman is owner of the opera-house building here and has recently expended $3000 in repairs and alterations to the edifice. He came to inspect the improvements and to look about the city. He returned to Los Angeles in the afternoon. Misses Sophie and Marie Rimpau entertained the 500 club at their home on Palm street Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Whiting was awarded the first prize, a half dozen Japanese cups and saucers. Mrs. Herman Stern took the second prize, a Japanese cream pitcher and sugar bowl. Delicious refreshments were served and an enjoyable afternoon participated in. A 20-acre orange grove formerly owned by W. R. Carpenter, deceased, has been sold by his widow, Mrs. M. A. Carpenter of Long Beach as administratrix of his estate to Frank Dowling for $20,000. The property lies near Fullerton, and the sale, for which an order of court was granted, includes 20 shares of water stock. Brick work on the new water office is completed, and workmen are engaged upon the interior. The building will be ready for occupancy by June 1st. The structure is 30 x 133 feet and will cost $6000. The seven-acre improved ranch of Hering Bros. on East street has been sold to B. E. Pancoast of Wisconsin, through Williams Bros. for $6000. Billy Wallop and E. W. McCollum are back from a short trip to Tulare. They are contemplating moving thither to take up their residence. The seven-acre improved ranch of Hering Bros. on East street has been sold to B. E. Pancoast of Wisconsin, through Williams Bros. for $6000. Billy Wallop and E. W. McCollum are back from a short trip to Tulare. They are contemplating moving thither to take up their residence. Ed Marion ceased labors at his West End ranch this week to come to town and take a flyer at the implement business. Ed says business is looking up. The new Santa Fe gasoline motor car made a trip around the kite shaped track, passing here yesterday afternoon, bearing a party of newspaper men. Jacob Wintter and wife, of Fullerton, have moved from Fullerton to this city and have taken up their residence in their new home on East Broadway. C. Schindler with a force of workmen on Monday began laying cement foundations for the new Yriarte building on Center Street. Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Hayden and Miss Kathryn Hayden were Los Angeles theatre goers on Saturday evening. Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Krick and Miss Dora Zeyn attended Easter services at the Masonic temple in Santa Ana on Sunday. Mrs. J. P. Hatzfeld and Mrs. Harry Dyer will entertain friends at a musical at the home of the former lady on Friday evening. Joseph Dauser came down from Los Angeles the first of the week on a visit to relatives and friends. Fred Maurer has purchased three lots on Chestnut street west of Lemon and will erect a commodious residence. Miss Lily Krebs of Azusa visited in town the past week, the guest of her cousin, Miss Clara Fischer. Mrs. Arthur Lewis spent several days this week visiting relatives at Ocean Park. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK APRIL 12, 1884 There is again an interruption in the mail service. Part of the bridge across the river near Nadeau’s vineyard is gone, and the train was unable to get through to Los Angeles on Thursday and yesterday. No mail was received here on Thursday nor was any mail sent north yesterday. It is probable that the track will be repaired by this evening. A mail arrived yesterday afternoon, it having been transferred over the break on a hand car. The road to San Francisco is also damaged and the report is that it will be some time yet before the Southern Pacific will succeed in thoroughly re-establishing its track between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Between Mojave and this city there is much work to be done and until the road has been repaired it is useless to look regularity in the arrival of either trains or mails from the north. Much of the ground upon which the rails are laid is now the bed of creeks. There is some consolation in knowing that these things do not happen every year. A daring burglary was perpetrated at Pasadena on Sunday night. The postmaster’s safe was broken open and $800 in money taken. The back of the safe was cut open with a cold chisel, and as the nefarious work was done expertly, quickly and noiselessly, it is evident that the thieves are professionals. This is the third safe-robbery in the county in the last few weeks, the others afflicted being Santa Monica and Downey. The man who wears the first straw hat or the first white coat of the season must summon up all his good nature. It requires a good deal of it to respond cheerily to the same remark made by half a hundred acquaintances — aren’t you forcing the season? And the remark is none the less exasperating because each individual idiot thinks he has said something original and funny, and expects you to laugh immediately at his wit. NOMINEES FOR PUBLIC OFFICE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the following persons have been nominated for the offices herein-after mentioned to be filled at the general municipal election to be held in the City of Anaheim on Monday, the 9th day of April, 1934.

The man who wears the first straw hat or the first white coat of the season must summon up all his good nature. It requires a good deal of it to respond cheerily to the same remark made by half a hundred acquaintances — aren't you forcing the season? And the remark is none the less exasperating because each individual idiot thinks he has said something original and funny, and expects you to laugh immoderately at his wit. Observations of the eclipse on Thursday morning by Bob's astronomical class resulted in total failure. The sun, earth and moon placed themselves in line accordingly to the prescribed standard, but by the intervention of Arizona thunder storms and cloudy glasses the scholars were unable to secure the desired scientific data. Astronomical knowledge has not been augmented. From the Prescott Miner we take the following item: Fred Burnham and Dick Chilson, who sold the Christmas gift mine to the present owners, have each bought a ranch in Los Angeles county, California, and will return there to live as soon as they shall have succeeded in selling the remainder of their mining interests in the Casa Grande district. They are at Casa Grande now, and Dick is negotiating another sale, with a fair prospect of success. The newly furnished parlors of the new St. Elmo hotel Los Angeles, were opened to a bridal pair yesterday afternoon when Mr. A. L. Reuter and Marv A. Reuter were there united in wedlock. Mr. Reuter is a brother of the man of that name who was shot and killed at Santa Ana last year, and his brother, who came to administer on the estate was so pleased that he has administered of the estate both real and personal, and all are happy. As is always the case where weeds grow prolifically, cut worms have made their appearance in some of the vinevards. The only effective way to destroy them is to pick them off the vines in the early morning. The presence of the worm is not to be dreaded except so far as the labor and expense of destroying them. Cynics may sneer at the frequent allusion to our champagne-and-strawberry-all-the-vear-round climate, but the stern fact remains that to the climate is due the presence of so many settlers in Los Angeles county. It is proper to boast of possessing the most perfect climate in the world. The unsold lands comprising and known as the Stearns Ranchos have been withdrawn from the market for the present. Orders to that effect have been received by R. J. Northam, the agent of the company at Anaheim. It is to be hoped that this is but a temporary action. A fine display of blooded stallions can be seen at Lewis and Mitchell's stables, the list comprises stock of Morgan, Norman, Black Hawk, Pachen, Belgium, Niagara and other pedigrees from noted draft and trotting horses. They make a pleasing sight to lovers of horseflesh. The unsold lands comprising and known as the Stearns Ranchos have been withdrawn from the market for the present.

While transacting business he left his team, which started home, upsetting in the old river bed north of town in a generally demoralized condition. After a prolonged search Alex was directed to the wreck by his dog Keno. There is growing on Real's lot on Lemon street a tomato vine which during all the winter has had ripe tomatoes in abundance growing upon it. As the vine is not in the least protected, the incident serves to illustrate the mildness of this so-called severe winter. The rainfall of the season is closely verging on to two feet, the total to date being 23.89 inches. The rainfall of Wednesday and Thursday was 1.38 inches in town and 1.5 inches at E. S. Saxton's place. Total for the season by the latter's gauge 24.21 inches. Chas. Higgins has accepted a position with Langley & Michaels, wholesale druggists in San Francisco and will leave for the north tomorrow. Ex-Supervisor J. D. Ott devoted Monday and Tuesday of this week to the dissemination of Gospel Swamp items among Anaheimers. It is reported that L. J. Rose has sold his Sunny Slope vineyard to a Scotch company for $750,000. There are two candidates for marshal at the approaching municipal election—Messrs. Pullen and Bohn. S. M. Wenn and wife have returned to Anaheim. We hope to remain. Rev. I. N. Demy says: I have found nothing in the past 20 years that can take the place of Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They are a sure relief for my headache." Sufferers from Headache, Neuralgia, Toothache, Backache, Sciatica, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Neuritis, Muscular Pains, Periodic Pains, write that they have used Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills with better results than they had even hoped for. Countless American housewives would no more think of keeping house without Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills than without flour or sugar. Keep a package in your medicine cabinet and save yourself needless suffering.
