50 Years Ago
Sept. 19, 1889
The Board of Supervisors on Monday awarded the contract for feeding prisoners to Sheriff Harris for 20 cents per meal, or 40 cents per day for two meals. On the same day the report of Supervisors Spurgeon and Ross was read saying that the State Board of Equalization had reduced the assessment 10 per cent.
The Board of Supervisors have been petitioned by John Beatty, James McFadden and G. A. Edgar for $384.50. the amount advanced in defending the county commissioners against the quo warrant suit. This is presumably the first of a number of "raids" on the county treasury, and we move that it be not paid.—The bill came up yesterday and supervisor Littlefield held that, having been incurred before the county had an existence the board could not legally take cognizance of it. On being referred to the District attorney, he coincided with that view and the bill was not allowed.
At the meeting of the city trustees last week, John Cadman was elected trustee instead of Frank Ey, resigned. A very good selection that will meet with the approval of every one.

25 Years Ago
September 10, 1914
Father F. J. Dubble arrived home last Friday from his three months trip to the Orient. He is in excellent health and reports an extremely enjoyable trip. The most exciting part of the voyage occurred a few hours out of San Francisco on the homeward trip when the Chiyo Maru, on which he was returning was chased by a German warship, presumably the Leipsig. The cruiser appeared from the rear about 8:30 p.m. and threw a beam from her searchlight on the Chiyo's stern. Capt. Green, who is a British officer in command, detailed an extra force of stokers, and soon was making twenty-one knots. At this speed he was able to keep out of range of the cruiser's bow chasers. Shortly after midnight the last gleam of light from the cruiser was swallowed in the night, and the Chiyo, shifting her course was able to make good her escape. She appeared off the American coast the following morning far north of the trade route and hugged the three-mile limit to port. The only German cruisers known to be in Pacific waters are the Leipsig and the Nurnberg, both of which are rated able to make twenty-three knots, but they had been long in southern waters when war broke out and must be foul, which is what the officers of the Chiyo believe enabled them to escape.
At the meeting of the city trustees last week, John Cadman was elected trustee instead of Frank Ey, resigned. A very good selection that will meet with the approval of every one. The new street lamps have arrived from Philadelphia and as soon as the lamp posts are finished by Mr. Grimshaw they will be placed in position. Several lamps have been placed at the Southern Pacific depot and in the western part of town where they are needed. The new lamps are larger and better than those in use at present.
There is considerable talk of forming a parlor of Native Daughters here, and it is probable that a charter will be applied for in the near future. Members of Invincible Parlor will lend a helping hand, and the President of Esperanza Parlor, Native Daughters of Los Angeles, will shortly be here to meet all young ladies desirous of joining the order. All native daughters of Anaheim should make up their mind to join and be ready to meet their Los Angeles sisters when they arrive here.
Monday was a scorcher, the fires on the mountains to the east lending a helping hand to the rays of the sun. At 10 o'clock the thermometer went up to 117 when exposed to the hot eastern zephyrs that came like a breath from an oven. In the shade the temperature was 105. During the afternoon the weather moderated considerably, the sea breeze being particularly grateful to our parboiled citizens. The evening was cool and delightful.
The street lamp on the corner of Center and Claudina streets was burned on Tuesday evening because the cap had not been properly attached. The oil in the lamp ignited, destroying the "whole paraphernalia."

Schwenckert was in town Monday and reports that he and his family are located in their new home in Pasadena, one of the properties received by him in exchange for his Anaheim ranch which he sold last week to L. B.Easton who with his family will immediately take possession. He received property also in Los Angeles, the balance of the payment being made in cash. The total aggregated $52,000, which was made through Williams Brothers.

BY WARREN BAYLEY
CARTHAGE, ILL. — Tourists who are interested in seeing Nauvoo, should also drop by here and see the old jail, scene of the actual murder of Joseph Smith and his brother. Marks of the conflict, such as the bullet holes in the door, stains on the floor, etc, have been carefully preserved.
In 1903 the jail property was purchased by the Utah Mormon church and in the last few years it has been restored for the benefit of the thousands of visitors who come each year to see it. Custodians in charge are direct from the church in Salt Lake City.
One of the most interesting parts of this trip was my conversations with Elder Joseph McRae here at Carthage and with Reverend J. E. Vanderwood at Nauvoo. Elder McRae is a member of the Utah Mormon church, headquarters at Salt Lake City. Reverend Vanderwood is a member of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, headquarters at Independence, Missouri. While both churches are strictly Mormon, their differences are probably deeper seated and more stoutly defended than the differences found between most religious denominations.
The main difference has to do with whether or not Joseph Smith had a revelation advocating the doctrine of ploygamy. The Utah Mormon conference at Salt Lake City, Utah, existence of which claimed was a secret revelation received by Smith at Nauvoo 12, 1843. This was the so-called "plural wives" revelation, citing the doctrine of ploygamy. Its authenticity has consisted been denied by the reorganized church. That the revelation not in Joseph Smith's handwrote has never been disputed: further it was pointed out that Nauvoo newspaper of February 1844, carried a notice, signed Joseph Smith, of the excommunication of a Mormon elder preaching "polygamy and false and corrupt doctrines."
Ham Young's version of the troversy was as follows: "That doctrine (ploygamy) has been preached by the elders people had believed in it for years. The original copy of revelation had been burned up that a copy had been made Joseph Smith's permission."
Both sides have convincing arguments. However, today real controversy has vanished ploygamy has long since abondoned.

Dave Elman (3) appropriately takes a hobby horse back to Manhattan to resume supervision of "Hobby Hobby" on NBC September 6.

K Fiesta Will Be Held Sept. 8
Making contests, dairy exhibits, bucking contests, native costumes, Dutch games, milk and entertainment galore all be mixed together to make picturesque and colorful "Mill-Way" planned for this year's sixth Annual Hay and Dairy to be staged September 8-Clearwater-Hynes.
The two-day celebration of 1000 dairymen of the Los Angeles milk shed will join hands in townspeople of Clearwater and neighboring communities presenting a spectacle dedicated to make southern Califorresidents better acquainted with the dairy and hay industries, of the largest agricultural units of the southland.
Live Holland games, featuring both the Barrel," in which the key contestant is doused with barrel of water, will hold the night on the opening day of Fiesta together with a "Parade Nations" showing costumes all nationalities engaged in ing in this area. Exhibit displaying modern dairy equipment and excellent types of machinery at Salt Lake City. Reverend Vanderwood is a member of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, headquarters at Independence, Missouri. While both churches are strictly Mormon, their differences are probably deeper seated and more stoutly defended than the differences found between most religious denominations.
The main difference has to do with whether or not Joseph Smith had a revelation advocating the doctrine of ploygamy. The Utah Mormons say yes, the reorganized church say no.
After the death of Joseph Smith the Mormons split into several factions. The largest group followed Brigham Young on his journey to Utah. A sizable number, however, believed the Prophet's Mantle should descend to Joseph Smith's eldest son; then 12-years old. Upon this premise, among others, the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was later organized and the presidency in that church has since remained in the family.
On August 29, 1852, eight years after the death of Joseph Smith,
