attending a meeting of Illinois Repub-

Judge Cook was chosen few days ago

named to succeed the late Congressman
Remain, whose death occurred short
time ago. Heart disease is the supposed
cause Of Judge Cooks death
The political aspect in the district is
entirely changed by this occurrence, as
it will necessitate the selection of an
other candidate. This will add another

CHAPTER VI.

When Captain and Mrs. Dene met
again at dinner neither made reference to
what had passed between them. It was
the first time that there had been even
an approach to a quarrel, yet it had
seemed to draw them nearer to each other
and bring some warmth into their rela-
tons. Anything was better than that
cool politeness.
But, though in their hearts there was
no appreciate change, difference was
felt in their manner to each other. He
talked little faster than usual, but she
was quieter, for her head was full of a
new plan that she wanted her husband S
assistance to mature.
She opened the subject directly they re-
paired to the drawingroom.

ANOTHER POINTER
Some of the Qualifications Our
New Mayor Should Possess.
Progress Says He is Going to Vote
for the Best and Brainiest Candi-
date in the Field.

Editor Astorian: In your paper of the
18th vigorous correspondent has a conf
munication headed "Our Next Mayor"
which is quite suitable and to THE point.
There has always been a feeling amongst
the voters that any one would do for
mayor as long as The was a goody kind
of fellow and ran with the boys. Our
next mayor should whether Citizen or
Republican, be man with peculiar busi-
ness qualifications fitting him for the
position, person that would be proud
of the office and would devote a great
portion of his time to the city; a man
of integrity, thoroughly interested In the
welfare and growth OF Astoria. not inter-
ested in booming some other townslte.
We want to elect a man with progressive
ideas, with all his interests centered in
the town, who would be persistent In
urging necessary improvements upon the
council. A man In favor Of good and
sufficient streets, In favor OF substantial
and permanent city buildings, in favor OF
nod and adequate public parks. where
c'pr laborinng people could amuse them
selves on holidays and other times. A
man In favor of a Substantial depot and
sufficient tervninals for all purposes with
in their own city limits, and not else
pei-vlsion of the city in mind, in acord-
ance with chapter 9, section 40 of the
charter of the city OF Astoria, which
reads as follows: 1.-THE mayor Is the
executive Of the municipal corporation,
and, az such, must exercise a careful
supervision over IDS general affairs and
subordinate officers. and eae that the
laws relating to the city and she ordl-
nances and regulations Of the council are
enforced It is his duty annually, at
the regular meeting of the council APP
pointed by this act, to communicate by
message to the council general state
ment of the condition Of affairs OF the
municipal corporation and to recommend
the adoption OF such measures as he may
deem expedient and proper. and to make
SUCH special communications to the
council from time 10 time as he may
t1Ink proper and useful" You can see
by this section OF the charter what the
duty of the mayor is. Has this been
done3 II so, the special message has
never appeared in the reports of the pro-
ceedlngs OF the council as printed by our
papers. The recommendations of the
mayor in writing should accompany every
Improvement made or contemplated by
the city council. Now. Mr.. Editor let
such a man as have described be nomi-
mated for mayor. and will support him
as a matter OF policy whether ne be
friend or foe, as am OF the opinion that
a mayor can detract or make our city in
the next year or two. We surely want
a man who is intert6.ed with Us. alive
and up with the times Nature has
surely done much for Astoria. In my
Judgment II remains for us 70 do tre
rest. Give us a mayor that will attend
every meeting of the council and by has
wisdom and advice make Astoria what.
God Intended sf5e should be. the principal
city and eeapOrt nOrtaIoof San Franc eco.
