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 Ploneers. 50 Years Ago Sept. 12, 1889 Last Sunday Mrs. Metz signed contracts for the erection of a two-story brick building on the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets and work has already begun upon the same. The building will be 40x80 feet and highly ornamental. Charles Schindler will do the brick work and H. P. Larsen the woodwork. The building will improve the appearance of the corner tremendously. Mrs. Metz deserves credit for her enterprise and Architect Burton, who drew the plans, and perfected the preliminary arrangements, has the thanks of the entire community. The large pepper tree which has stood some distance back on the corner lot for so many years, the most beautiful tree in this part of the county, was yesterday cut down to make room for the building. Already there are several business men after the lease of the building. One firm of Los Angeles, if they can secure a lease, will have a branch of their business here. It is said 70,000 was later offered for the lot, but the amount was refused. Schools reopen Monday. Professor Garwood will be principal and the other departments will be in charge of the same corps of teachers as last year. Miss Powers will teach the first department. Miss Burton the Second and Miss Clothler the Primary. The Fairview school will open on 25 Years Ago September 3, 1914 Notwithstanding the fact that many improvements are afoot and the city treasury will be drawn upon for various unusual sums, the trustees Thursday night decided to take chances on a reduced levy of 10 cents on the hundred dollars making the total levy $1.60 instead of $1.70 as heretofore. This reduction was made, of course, at the expense of the general fund which lost $2000 by the deal. Even with this loss the assessment this year will yield the general fund $18,444, against $13,568 a year ago. There are extraordinary expenses which will draw heavily on the treasury. Six thousand dollars go in a lump for the city hall site, and the ornamental lights and street intersections will cost several thousand more, also there was a surplus of $6000 in the treasury at the close of last year, whereas this year there will be little if any left over. On the other hand $8000 spent for pipe out of the last year's income will be practically all saved this year, and the board figures that with this additional sum they will be able to make both ends meet without sacrificing any of the proposed improvements. Miss Callye Sparks has returned home from Capistrano after spending a month's vacation at that point. She was accompanied home by Mrs. George Ross who has been a guest at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Sparks for several days. Schools reopen Monday. Professor Garwood will be principal and the other departments will be in charge of the same corps of teachers as last year. Miss Powers will teach the first department. Miss Burton the Second and Miss Clothler the Primary. The Fairview school will open on the same day with Miss Baker as principal and Miss Meade teacher in the Primary. Mrs. Nanetta Rehm, relict of the late Charles Rehm, breathed her last on Thursday afternoon after a lingering illness that terminated in dropsy. She was buried on Friday afternoon. Deceased was well known among old Anaheimers, having been one of the Pioneers of the colony. Her husband expired fifteen years ago. The Ladies Aid Society of Fullerton will give an ice cream social at the St. George hotel on Saturday. All are cordially invited. Mr. Kraemer will run the Fullerton's bus to Anaheim and back on that evening. Cards are out for the wedding of Miss Bernardina Albers to Jacob J. Bushard, both of Fullerton, at the Catholic church here on Monday morning next. Alex Henry has lately planted 25 acres of choice budded orange trees on his ranch, and they made a fine showing. He has one of the best kept orchards in the county. Our School Funds Some day ago the county superintendent of schools of Orange, Greeley made a demand upon Superintendent Seamans of Los Angeles, for that portion of the state school fund apportioned to Los Angeles county that rightfully belonged to Orange. Mr. Seamans was in some doubt as to his right to turn over the money, and sought the opinion of the district attorney upon it. That official advised Seamans that, as the superintendent of Orange county was not a constitutional office under the law, the money could not be legally transferred. The point is that the constitution of the state provides that county superintendents of schools shall be elected in the same year as the governor, holding office for a like number of years and shall receive their commended this year, and the board figures that with this additional sum they will be able to make both ends meet without sacrificing any of the proposed improvements. Miss Callye Sparks has returned home from Capistrano after spending a month's vacation at that point. She was accompanied home by Mrs. George Ross who has been a guest at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Sparks for several days. Mrs. George Herbert Kellogg formerly a well known resident of this city died at her home in Berkeley the 14th day of last month. Mrs. Kellogg's father-in-law was the first Episcopalian minister in the city and resided here with his family for many years. The Anaheim Ebell society will meet at Odd Fellows hall on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. There will be no program presented at this meeting, the members merely enjoying a social afternoon which will include refreshments. County Hospital opened for patients—Splendidly equipped institution built for care of Orange county's unfortunates. County Health office, Dr. John Wehrly, accompanied by representatives of the press and other visitors on Monday made his last official visit of inspection preparatory to opening the hospital buildings and cottages to the patients who have been waiting the completion of the big work before they could be moved from the Santa Ana city hospital. The hospital is admirably constructed for the purpose for which it was built. It is of three stories, each well fitted for its special purpose. There are seven cottages, a chapel, and clubroom, with an open pavilion. All these buildings are built of cement plastered. The board of forestry has promised to aid in beautifying the grounds. John Cassou is recovering from a badly sprained right leg, he having wrenched the ligaments of that member some time ago. John walks with the aid of a cane, but will soon be entirely well again. Mrs. Harley Paine and two children of Los Angeles are here for a few days visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. Nemetz on Olive street. The calendar cannot be trusted to tell you the truth about old age. While you may be "officially" older at 65, the years following this milestone need not be ones of senility, says Dr. Donald A. Laird, well-known psychologist. In the current Rotarian Magazine, he offers six rules as insurance against an unhappy, crotchety old age. These rules were developed from reports of scientific studies such authorities on human behavior as Dr. Francis G. Benedict, I Christine Margaret Morgan, I Francis M. Pottenger, and I Edward K: Strong, jr. Here are the "rules": 1. Keep in good health. (E amplyary habits with regard to food, drink, and matters of hyene, and above all, a philosophy doing away with worrying we wonders.) 2. Maintain an intellectual terest in many things. (An education has been found to help man old age happier.) 3. Enjoy your children and relatives—but don't live with them, if you can possibly avoid (Happiest old folks live alone they can remain independent.) 4. Mingle with the young crowd at least occasionally.

That official advised Seamans that, as the superintendent of Orange county was not a constitutional office under the law, the money could not be legally transferred. The point is that the constitution of the state provides that county superintendents of schools shall be elected in the same year as the governor, holding office for a like number of years, and shall receive their commissions direct from the chief executive. The superintendent of Orange was elected in an off year and has never received a commission from the Governor, consequently he is not a legal constitutional officer. Mr. Seamans has accordingly refused to turn over the money and mandamus proceedings will be begun at once by the Orange County officials to compel it payment. Supt. Greeley yesterday went to Los Angeles to receive Supt. Seamans warrant for school money due this county, this course having been advised by the Attorney General. The amount is $80,000.

John Cassou is recovering from a badly sprained right leg, he having wrenched the ligaments of that member some time ago. John walks with the aid of a cane, but will soon be entirely well again. Mrs. Harley Paine and two children of Los Angeles are here for a few days visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. Nemetz on Olive street. Mrs. Wm.

Double Dan Midget Threat By WARREN BAYLEY NAUVOO, ILLINOIS (continued)—When the Mormons arrived in Quincy, Illinois they received an unexpected welcome. A committee of Quincy citizens passed a resolution condemning the governor of Missouri and urged cooperation with the new arrivals. The futility of their nine years effort to find a permanent home had depressed some of the Saints but the friendliness of Quincy citizens restored their optimism. Two large farms at Commerce, Illinois, and immediately the work of building a city was begun. Later Smith re-named the place Nauvoo, which he claimed meant "beautiful place" in Hebrew. The Mormon dwellings had no more than begun to rise when an ambitious plan for foreign missionary work was inaugurated. Brigham Young, Wilford Woodruff and others of the 12 Apostles were dispatched to England where their efforts met with singular success. By 1850 there were 28,000 members of the church in England and Scotland, and 3,700 migrated to America between 1840 and 1846; taking up residence in Nauvoo. As the city spread and flourished, the first intimations of opposition began to rumble here and there throughout the countryside. The political activities of the Mormons were responsible. In February 1844 when Smith announced himself as a candidate for the reception room of the which bore no lock. Shortly after 5 o'clock a mob with black faces attacked the jail. A voice was fired up the stairway, and from outside the building Hyrum Smith, shot through skull, fell dead. Joseph ran to window and was poised read leap out, when three musket be struck him. The rioters, after certainting that he was dead, w drew. The following day the bodies Joseph and Hyrum were taken Nauvoo, where they were met a mournful procession. When time came for the burial, Joseph wife fearing vandals had the fins filled with rocks, and bodies were secretly buried near the Nauvoo House, a then under construction. They were moved again and buried under the springhouse floor trusted servant of Mrs. Smith. From generation to generation secret was kept by Smith's scendants and it was not until that the hiding place was revealed and the remains placed in final resting place on the ground of Smith's former home.

Auto Crash Sends Three to Hospital Don Felix and Ferdinand Felix, brothers, and Mrs. Esther Placentia, all of Santa Ana, were taken to the Anaheim Sanitarium yesterday morning for treatment of injuries sustained when two automobiles collided at the intersection of Center and Los Angeles streets at 6:30 o'clock yesterday morning. None was seriously hurt, the hospital reported. Those injured were riding in a car driven by Reginald Placentia of Santa Ana which was involved in a collision with another auto operated by F. A. Parker of Redlands, investigating officers learn- their efforts met with singular success. By 1850 there were 28,000 members of the church in England and Scotland, and 3,700 migrated to America between 1840 and 1846; taking up residence in Nauvoo. As the city spread and flourished, the first intimations of opposition began to rumble here and there throughout the countryside. The political activities of the Mormons were responsible. In February 1844 when Smith announced himself as a candidate for president of the United States hostilities came out in the open. The destruction, by the Saints, of a rival printing plant was the spark which set off the explosion. Anti-Mormon mobs were formed and prepared to sack the city. Governor Ford hurried to Carthage, a nearby village, and urged that no illegal steps be taken. He sent word to Smith to surrender promising him security from mob action. On June 24 Joseph and his brother Hyrum gave themselves up and were imprisoned at Carthage charged with inciting a riot. On January 27 Smith and his brother with two friends were in Two Big Holidays Again Sunday and Monday, Labor Day No matter where you go or what you do let our store with its personal service advise you what to wear.

Center Street Anaheim, Cali Illegal Stickers Will be Removed Removal of obstructing non-transparent stickers on windshields, side wings, and rear windows of automobiles is to be asked of all motorists by officers of the California highway patrol in an effort to eliminate accidents caused by these. In a bulletin to all traffic officers of the patrol today Chief E. Raymond Cato called attention to the fact that many moors returning from country wide tours are endangering the lives of themselves and others by the use of numerous stickers applied by hotels, parks, and other places visited. The California vehicle code, he painted out, only permits the use of stickers in the lower corner of windshields farther from the driver's position not to exceed seven inches square. The placing of stickers on windwings and other places on the automobile, exceeding the legal limit, reduces visibility to a point where they may cause accidents. Having more stickers on the car than the law permits is a misdemeanor within the terms of the California vehicle code. Buy now and Buy in Anaheim! Illegal Sawed-Off Shotguns are Found Efforts of the sheriff's office to trace ownership of two sawed-off shotguns found cached under a culvert in Santa Ana canyon late last week have met with failure. The guns were found by Milo Edison, employee of the state highway department's maintenance division. The guns, one a double-barreled 16-gauge and the other a 12-gauge single, were wrapped in paper with a supply of ammunition. They apparently had been there for some weeks, but were in good working order. Cut by amateurs, according to Chief Deputy Sheriff George Franzen, the guns were so short that possession of them is a felony under federal law. $2,000,000 Dollars of FEDCO That's a lot of Fedco.
