IN THE DAYS OF L Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Cent Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Oran 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, MAY 6, 1909 Scores of teams and men are at work on the grading on the Pacific Electric right-of-way between Delhi and Huntington Beach. Gangs of men are at work on both ends and in the middle of the stretch over which the new electric road will be built. The contracts for grading have been recorded. Under these contracts the grading must be completed by June 1st the entire distance from the sugar factory to Huntington Beach. Census Marshal Nebelung has completed taking the school census of Anaheim School district, and reports a total of 846 children between the ages of 5 and 17 years, a gain as compared with last year of 107. He finds a total of 1010 children under 17, which is a decrease of 51 from last year, when the total number returned was 1061. Last year's census roll of children between 5 and 17 was 739 and in 1907, 667. The total number of children under 5 this year is 164 which shows the recent birthrate slightly decreased. This is overbalanced, however, in the very satisfactory increase of children of school age. This increase will give the district two additional teachers, which will bring the number up to 20. Two teachers will be a welcome addition to the faculty. Primary grades have been over crowded during the present term, one teacher having 57 pupils and another 60. Multiplying the number of census children by 5, we find the population of the district to be 4230. Some ambitious Southern California cities multiply by 6 and some even by 7, but 5 is the number generally accepted as indicating the population when multiplied by the total number of children between the ages of 5 and 17.

S. Grimshaw. The weather forecasters were Mrs. Grimshaw and Miss Eleanora Parker. A large number of friends of the popular bride-to-be assembled and predictions for a continuous shower were fulfilled. Many valuable and costly gifts were bestowed upon the guest of the evening. Miss Rea will be joined in wedlock May 19th to Wm. Wallop. The young couple will make their home in Tulare City, where the groom to be has recently accepted a lucrative position with a mercantile firm. Harry Wood, aged 35, on Thursday morning shortly after 6 o'clock made an unsuccessful attempt upon the life of F. A. Yungbluth, who formerly gave him employment. The shooting occurred at Mr. Yungbluth's residence at the corner of Adele and Lemon streets. Wood rang the door bell and Mr. Yungbluth asked who was there. Receiving no answer he hurriedly dressed and descended the stairway. On opening the front door, Wood said he wished to speak with him and quickly drew a revolver. The door was hastily closed in his face. Mr. Yungbluth then walked into the dining room and was in the act of pulling down the curtain of the front dining room door when a shot was fired the ball imbedding itself in the wall near where he stood. Wood then tried to enter a screen at the rear porch. J. P. Hatzfeld, a neighbor, who was aroused by the shot telephoned for Marshal Steadman. Mr. Yungbluth did not at first use his telephone as it is near the front door where he would have been the target for another shot. As Wood walked away he telephoned City Marshal Ruddock at Fullerton, Frank Tausch and others. Marshal Steadman and Billy Berdrow captured Wood who was in the road extending north from Lemon and evidently making for Fullerton to board the north bound train due then momentarily. Wood attempted to draw his revolver but finding himself covered threw it away and submitted to arrest. Wood seemed to be suffering from a debauch. He protested his friendship for his former employer and declared that he had intended to commit suicide if he could not secure re-employment from Mr. Yungbluth. District Attorney Davis asked that Wood be held to answer on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, with bonds fixed at $2,500. Judge Howard so ordered and he was taken to the county jail by Constable Jackson of Santa Ana. Count Bozenta was in Anaheim on Wednesday of last week driving over from Santa Ana with Jos Yoch in the latter's automobile. He went directly to St. Boniface church, where a solemn requiem high mass for the repose of the soul of Madame Modjeska was celebrated by Rev. Father Dubble. He departed on the early afternoon train for Oxnard to visit an old friend who is ill.

It will probably be some months before the body of his distinguished wife is taken to Cracow for final interment and in the meantime he will arrange his business affairs and dispose of his interests here as he will probably not return. Richard Melrose and J. O. Royer departed on Monday for Costa Rica on a business mission which will necessitate an absence of about six weeks. They go by way of New Orleans. They may journey as far south as the Panama canal and view the isthmian waterway. Dr. G. W. Closson, veterinary surgeon, has located at Oliver Hills City livery stable and will give prompt attention to all work entrusted to him in this line. Oliver Bush is at the home of his father John Bush, where he is ill. Oliver had to give up a lucrative position in Los Angeles on account of ill health and anxiety is felt for his recovery. City Clerk Merritt reports building permits issued during the past month amounting to $385 and for March $12,400, a total of $16,250 for the two months. Jos Fiscus is installing a forty-horse power motor at his pumping plant near town which will be able to lift 125 miners inches of water. Tommy Hedges made two grandstand plays at the ball game at Brookshurst on Sunday. Tommy can always be relied upon in a close pinch in a ball game. Ben Dauser has returned from a trip to Kern county where he purchased 80 acres of land for himself and 40 for Mr. Steinke. L. C. Yoeman and family are newcomers from South Dakota and have purchased the Marden place at West Anaheim. John Hart was in town from Los Angeles the first of the week.

These Files Contain the Only of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, MAY 3, 1884 The election for town officers on Monday passed off quietly. There were two regular tickets in the field with independent candidates for Marshal and for Assessor. The following is the vote: For Trustees, L. F. Lewis, 98; F. A. Korn, 90; Adolph Rimpau, 79; H. Kroeger, 74; W. A. Witte, 58; Frank Ey, 57; Wm. Konig, 55. The first five receiving the highest number of votes were elected. For treasurer, Plez James, 118. For Clerk, F. F. Newbold, 118. For Marshal, R. Bohn, 66; Wm. Meek, 52. For Justice, Alex Bailey, 84; T. L. Gannon, 34. The Chandler Oil company, whose wells are located near Anaheim, sent a sample of the oil to some eastern oil refiners of lubricating oil to be examined and refined. The result is most gratifying. The refiners state that at an expense of 8 or 9 cents per gallon all earthy matter can be removed from this oil and the refined products will be worth 75 cents per gallon as a very high grade of lubricating oil. This is certainly very encouraging to our citizens, who have become interested in the development of the oil district belonging to this fortunate company. It is evident that the oil is very choice. To Robert Parker of North Anaheim belongs credit of having produced the finest strawberries of the season. He presented the Gazette with a basket of them garlanded with roses and orange blossoms, making a picture pleasing to the eyes even of those to whom such flowers and fruit are not unfamiliar. The berries were of huge size, the largest being seven inches in circumference. A painful accident befell Harry R. Hanna on Tuesday, and one which will mar the enjoyment of his vacation. He was chopping wood and a vigorous blow sent the stick flying into his face. National Orange Committee Advanced at Florida’s R Legal Counsel Bruce McDaniel of Reason of Date from August 10; Selection to be Made, Though Florida Block Bruce McDaniel, secretary and legal committee on oranges and advisory counsel on committees, announces that the national orange to meet in Washington, on June 18. Mr. McDaniel Mutual Orange Distributors on the national commi “The national committees on oranges and also grapefruit were to have met on August 10,” he advises. “At request of Florida the date has been set ahead to June 18. This means that a national coordinator will be selected on that date and that a comprehensive national stabilization plan covering California, Arizona, Florida, Texas and Puerto Rico, probably will be put into effect. Action on selection of a coordinator was blocked by Florida at the meeting in Washington in January and no affirmative steps were taken then relating to national proration. It is believed that the June meeting will result in definite and constructive steps which should have a direct and beneficial effect on the entire citrus industry.” “Results under the California-Arizona agreement will be augment if the national volume of orange and grapefruit is adjusted to meet normal demand. Approximately 99.7 per cent of the entire national volume is subject to control by the national committees.

He was chopping wood and a vigorous blow sent the stick flying into his face with such force as to break his nose. It was so severely lacerated that a surgeon had to be called in to sew it together. By a strange coincidence, his younger brother, Eddie, received a severe scalp wound the day previous in precisely a similar way. The Episcopal rite of confirmation was administered by Bishop Kip, assisted by Rev. J. A. Emery and Rev. H. J. Sheridan at St. Michael's church on Tuesday evening. The venerable Bishop delivered a brief but appropriate address. A large congregation was present. The church was dressed with flowers in exquisite tact, noticeable among which was a large cross composed of orange buds and violets. A quartette with instrumental accompaniment rendered the music. The occasion was one of interest to all present. Two gentlemen who were driving along Center street about 10 o'clock on Sunday night were startled by hearing the words "stop or I'll shoot," shouted at them by one of two men who loomed up vaguely in the roadway. Instead of stopping, the driver whipped up the horse and dashed past the men, but they didn't shoot. Were they robbers or jokers?

Some person who thinks he knows all about it, tells us that the peculiar weather of the past week was due to electrical forces from planets, which being in unusual position relative to the earth, caused its atmosphere to trouble, boil and bubble, much to the displeasure of those who were prepared to commence haying. It is whispered that the county democracy will lose one of its champion office-holders at the coming election. County Clerk Potts will decline the nomination on account of physical reasons and his place will be filled by Judge Dick Egan of San Juan Capistrano. In the Republican Presidential convention in 1876, Blaine began with 286 votes and increased it to 351 votes. Four years later he received 284 votes on the first ballot which decreased to 270 votes on the fourteenth ballot. In the coming convention he will receive the nomination on the first ballot.

The delegates were instructed to vote for Blaine as long as he remained a candidate. It is rumored that Mr. Magoon, formerly of Santa Ana has purchased from Jacob Yaeger the lot on the corner of Center and Clementine streets and intends to erect a handsome brick building. We hope the rumor is well founded. The young men's social club has now sixteen members. The building on Los Angeles street immediately south of the Masonic hall, will probably be fitted up for a reading room. In some parts of the county the myriads of horse flies make horses fairly frantic and driving dangerous. The plague of flies are a concomitant of a wet season and prolific vegetation. Deputy Assessor Barham has completed his work of assessing property within the corporate limits of Anaheim. On Monday next the assessment of outside property in this section will begin. In the vicinity of Burruel Point improvements have been made to the extent of causing that neighborhood to aspire to the dignity of a postoffice, for which it is reported application will be made. The Miles tract in North Anaheim has been subdivided into 20-acre lots by Surveyor Kellogg and it is understood that it will shortly be placed upon the market at the rate of $100 an acre. The return of Fred Hartung and bride was greeted by the congratulations of a large circle of friends, including a serenade on Sunday evening by the Anaheim Brass Band. Melting snow and rains in the mountains have again filled the Santa Ana river from bank to bank with a muddy torrent.

"Probation After Death" is Subject "Probation after Death" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon on Sunday in all branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. The Golden Text presents Jesus' words, from John: "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die." Among the Bible selections in the Lesson-Sermon are these verses from Luke: "And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. And he said unto them, why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have." A passage from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, states, "The Master said plainly that physique was not Spirit, and after his resurrection he proved to the physical senses that his body was not changed until he himself ascended—or, in other words, rose even higher in the understanding of Spirit, God."

The Exchange reports that there has been a big increase in early spring exports of oranges and grapefruit to Europe and that the volume of this business is ahead of any previous season to this date. The California Express is one of three new sister ships that make the run from Los Angeles to Glasgow and other European ports in around 19 days. These refrigerators are diesel-motor ships, typical of the newer boats designed for this service.

Hospitals and doctors have always used liquid laxatives. And the public is fast returning to laxatives in liquid form. Do you know the reasons? The dose of a liquid laxative can be measured. The action can thus be regulated to suit individual need. It forms no habit; you need not take a "double dose" a day or two later. Nor will a mild liquid laxative irritate the kidneys. The right dose of a liquid laxative brings a perfect movement, and there is no discomfort at the time, or after. The wrong cathartic may often do more harm than good. A properly prepared liquid laxative like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin brings safe relief from constipation. It gently helps the average person's bowels back to regularity. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is an approved liquid laxative which all druggists keep ready for use. It makes an ideal family laxative; effective for all ages, and may be given the youngest child.
