IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain The Only Authentic History In Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers 50 Years Ago DECEMBER 26, 1885 Half an inch of rain fell on last Monday, swelling the total to 3.59 inches for the season. The country is in fine condition for the plow, early sown grain is growing as if by magic, and there is an abundance of pasture on the plains. The rains which may reasonably be expected after the holidays will doubtless be sufficient to insure large crops. Heavy rains in the northern counties are retarding field work, and in the language of the dispatches "farmers are getting disgusted and somewhat afraid there will be too much rain." A series of big excursions from Los Angeles to Santa Ana will be had on the 4th, 5th and 6th of January, and a fair will be held at Spurgeon's hall on those days to show visitors the products of the county. Space has been allotted to Anaheim and the surrounding districts and they have been invited to make exhibits. Messrs. Dreyfus, Reiser and Melrose have been appointed a committee for Anaheim to secure exhibits, and they have called to their aid Messrs. Knapp, Smythe, A. Rimpau, F. Hartung and Witte who have all promised to aid in getting Adele Shellar, Mattie Hansen, Anna Hansen and Musetta Craw. Neither tardy nor absent Estella and Musetta Craw. No corporal punishments. — C. J. Reed, teacher. It is rumored that a thousand acres of the Shanklin tract is about to be consummated. We hope this is true, especially as it is said that the sale will be followed by the settlement on the tract of twenty or thirty families. A handsome quilt, the handiwork of the Misses Rimpau, is to be raffled and the proceeds given to the fund for the Catholic parsonage. The quilt can be seen at the store of Rimpau Bros. Nine Chinamen were arrested on Monday evening by Constable Pullen on a charge of gambling. A tan game outfit was also captured. A large consignment of agricultural implements was received last week by A. E. White, who proposes to make a specialty of the business this season. A marriage license was issued in San Bernardino last week to Mr. Blatchley H. Wright and Marlane Wandell Blatchley lived in Anaheim. Oldfield mistook the thoroughfare for a racing course, and only missed the absence of local officers prevent him from an enforced appearance before the township justice. W. A. Wallace and C. C. F have purchased 155 acres of West of the Olive bridge and engaged in clearing the tractor cactus. They will set the land oranges. W. S. Pomeroy and family have arrived from Nebraska and located Mr. Pomeroy has purchased the property formerly owned by Mr. Whiting east of town left blizzard weather back Nebraska, and here finds sunshine and flowers, where he is greatly pleased, and says there is nothing to equal the glorious climate California. The Santa Ana city trust Monday evening instructed city attorney to begin proceeding looking to an election at which $35,000 bonds for enlarging the municipal water system will be proposed, a new reservoir will be built. The Santa Ana water system has been netting about $10 a month for the use of the city other departments. Ben Kraemer was in town frost He had nothing to say about Jo Arthur Johnson, but looked good naturally at the crowd of curiosity inclined which gathered about him.

Ben is one of the most accurate of local weather sharpies and shakes his head dubious when asked when rain may be expected. He is a close observer of local phenomena, and has not observed late a settlement of moisture. at Spurgeon's hall on those days to show visitors the products of the county. Space has been allotted to Anaheim and the surrounding districts and they have been invited to make exhibits. Messrs. Dreyfus, Reiser and Melrose have been appointed a committee for Anaheim to secure exhibits, and they have called to their aid Messrs. Knapp, Smythe, A. Rimpau, F. Hartung and Witte who have all promised to aid in getting up a display which will be a conspicuous feature of the fair. They have figuratively speaking, taken their coats off, and gone to work, and the producers have so far given them hearty encouragement. Mr. J. Y. Anderson of Westminster, who makes a specialty of sorgum syrup, has closed the season's work and it has proved very satisfactory. The yield was three hundred gallons to the acre and but for an untoward circumstance would have been much greater. Just as the sorgum began to tip out, a heavy wind toppled it over to some extent and while it did not affect the growth of the cane, it lessened the saccharine matter to some extent, so that the quantity of cane that made 9 gallons of syrup last year made between 6 and 7 gallons this year. A very serious gunning accident happened on Tuesday afternoon. Clarence E. Groat and Frank Fox were returning from a hunt and while driving along the buggy wheel struck a bunch of cactus, throwing Mr. Groat nearly out of the buggy. The gun was resting on his knee and, as it was about to fall out, Frank made a hasty clutch for it and just as he caught hold it went off, and the whole charge of shot penetrated his left breast. He was brought home and given the best of attention by all the physicians in town. His wound is very serious, the shot having penetrated the lungs, and his recovery is a matter of grave doubt. Frank is aged 18 years and is the son of Justice Fox. He is a boy who is very well liked, and everybody feels a deep interest in his recovery and regret the painful accident that has befallen him.

A large consignment of agricultural implements was received last week by A. E. White, who proposes to make a specialty of the business this season. A marriage license was issued in San Bernardino last week to Mr. Blatchley H. Wright and Marianne Wandell Blatchley lived in Anaheim for a long time. 25 Years Ago 25 YEARS AGO DECEMBER 22, 1910 There is no longer an excuse for any citizen of Anaheim going unwashed, or carrying in the pores of his skin the accumulated poisons of years. The Adelheid Bath house, which has been in course of construction at 212 South Los Angeles street for the past month or two, was opened for business Friday morning. There are six bath rooms, six rest rooms, two massage rooms and one electric bath room in the place. You can get a vapor bath, a Turkish bath, a sulphur bath, a salt bath, a mineral bath, an electric bath, or just a plain splash in a porcelain tub if you prefer it. W. H. Sherman, the manager, is confident that the $10,000 expended on construction of the bath house and equipment is a safe and profitable investment. Edward Wenzel of San Francisco has been, the guest of his aunt, Mrs. A. Frohling for the past few weeks. Anaheim was the home of his mother in 1858 and Mr. Wenzel brings regards from her to all old timers who may still remember her. He notes a marked improvement in the city especially the newly paved streets and beautiful homes that have been erected since his last visit three years ago. That property values will double and that the city will have a population of at 10,000 on another ten years is his belief. Bishop Johnson confirmed a class of three young people at St. Michael's church on Sunday evening and after the confirmation delivered an inspiring address to a large congregation.

Ben is one of the most accurate of local weather sharpies and shakes his head dubious when asked when rain may be expected. He is a close observer of local phenomena, and has noted of late a settlement of moisture whitish in appearance and severe feet in height above the sandwash in the early morning hours. The phenomenon disappears with the rising sun. He has not observed since 1877, and those who wish know what the rainfall was in the year may do so by consulting the records; but there were no floods that year. John Smally, father of Mr Oliver Hill, William Smalley, his brother, Dr. Stall and wife and Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Troutman are here to spend the winter. Mr Stall and Mrs Troutman are sisters of Mrs. Hill. The party is visiting points of interest in Southern California, making head quarters here. Bob Johnston and Walter Rohr have returned from a ten-day trip to points of interest as far north Fresno. They looked in at Tulare, Reidley, Bakersfield and other towns and made the trip home from the last named town—a distance of 180 miles, in a day. Fritz Stolte celebrated his seventieth birthday anniversary by passing around cigars on Friday. S. Lybarger and wife attended the thirty-fourth wedding anniversary of his cousin C. E. Lybarger and wife in Los Angeles on Tuesday evening. The two gentlemen had not met in 34 years. Rain on Monday amounted to .45 of an inch. Showers in September totaled .56, making a total for the season of 1.01 inches.Last year to date 4.86 inches. To our readers everywhere, the Gazette extends on this happy occasion A Merry Christmas.

Mr. Erwin Barr is enjoying a visit from his brother, Mr. John Barr of Longmont, Colorado. When he left his home on Wednesday of last week, it was in the midst of a snow storm such as Colorado is famous for, and the contrast with our incomparable climate has set Mr. Barr to wondering why he didn't come to California years ago.

Leaving their burglar's tools behind them, cracksmen after doing an expert job at the Hall and Walls wholesale liquor store shortly after 4 o'clock on Sunday moring made their escape with the largest haul made in town in several years past. As near as can be learned $125 in cash and about $500 in checks was taken. The burglars are supposed to have headed for Los Angeles immediately after the robbery. W. Jay Cole was in town from his ranch at Centralia on Saturday. Mr. Cole is not discouraged at the outlook for rain, and cites the case, in 1882 when he first came to the country, when he did not begin plowing till February, and reaped an excellent harvest. He looks for a dry Christmas but is persuaded that abundant rains will follow later. At any rate, he says, a dry year will not affect the country so disadvantageously as in former times, for the superb irrigation system and the hundreds of pumping plants make the Orange county farmer, to a large extent independent of the weather clerk. Jim Jeffries and Barney Oldfield were in town on Saturday afternoon, coming down from Los Angeles in a touring car, on their way to the shooting grounds to the east, where they went after ducks. Jeffries was looking well, having lost considerable of his adipose tissue noticeable on former visits Just do what hospitals do, and the doctors insist on. Use a liquid laxative, and you can bring yourself to clocklike regularity without strain or ill effect. A liquid can always be taken gradually reduced doses. Reduce dosage is the secret of any real relief from constipation. Ask a doctor about this. Ask your druggist how very popular Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin has become. It gives the right kind of help, and right amount of help. Taking a little leewater each time, gives the bowels a chance to take their own accord, until there are moving regularly and thoroughly without any help at all. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin contains senna and cascara—both natural laxatives that form no habit. The action is gentle, but sure. It will relieve any sluggishness or bilious condition due to constipation without upset. and mistook the thoroughfare tracing course, and only the use of local officers prevented from an enforced appearance in the township justice.

Ben is one of the most of local weather sharps, makes his head dubiously asked when rain may be. He is a close observer ohenomena, and has notice a settlement of moisture TREADING CLOSE TO THE EDGE OF THE CLIFF In 1896 the late William Jennings Bryan advocated the free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 ounces of the white metal to one ounce of gold. The ratio of the two metals at that time in the open market was 30 to 1. The ratio today is about 54 to 1. The free coinage of silver meant that owners of silver bullion could take the metal to the mints and have it coined into dollars an dthen return them to the owners to be used as the circulating monetary medium. In the democratic national convention at Chicago in 1896, when Mr. Bryan was a candidate for the presidency, he held his auditors spellbound by his eloquence in advocating his monetary plan, and summed up his plea with the pithy epigram, "They shall not press upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns; they shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold." Many people believed that had the election been held shortly after that convention that Mr. Bryan would have been elected president. But as time wore on his free coinage plan was torn to shreads by newspapers, it collapsed like a punctured balloon. Had that plan become a law, gold would have been forced circulation and would be hoarded. What would be the result of free silver problematical; but maybe believe had that come nation would have been ed with a financial prow would have been disasl JOHNSONIAN INDOR If we get the drift Johnson's latest supplier marks about President the general considers them amiable and well made weak, ineffective and g thinks the whole New PHONE 4220 DR.
