The assessors We're given the new
assessment books which We're received
yesterday from the printer and were
instructed to make 4 complete and
careful assessment. 1t was at first
thought that a new set of rules for
their guidance would be compiled, but
this was not done inasmuch as this
is the last assessment which will be
made under the law governing third
class cities.
The ward assessors have been in
structed to finish their work by Jan.
If possible, SO that the city assessors
will have sufficient time to carefully
go over the books. They will begin

Doings in Divorce Court.

Emil Moody wouldn't go West an /
his wife wouldn't stay Fast. Unfor-
tunately, unlike the Sprats OF classic
lore. they couldn't compromise. and
the consequence was u divorce de-
cree from Judge Kelly yesterday.
Air. Moody, who is a craftsman for
the Colliery Engineer was married
June II, 1S90,in st. Paul, and came
here with his wife three years ago.
After a few months residence in Scran-
ton. she became restless, sighed for
the West, which she declared was
Gods country, and declared she would
no longer remain in Pennsylvania
She returned to st. Paul. This was
considered a clear case of desertion
by the court, and a divorce was the
consequence.

JURY CALLED,
Don't Want a Free Road.

When the petition or the appoint
ment OF viewers to condemn the por-
tion of the Abingdon turnpike within
| the city limits came UP in court veS-
| terday there was a veritable flood of
protests against it and among them
was one signed by upwards of 800 per-
sons, who regularly use the road and
who say they prefer to pay toll rather
than contide to the repairing of the
road to the care of the city.
The county commissioners protested
because they believed the petition was
not prompted by any interest in the
countN's welfare, and the National
Boulevard company protested Oh
the ground that II has leased
the road for ninety-nine years
and under the boulevard law. after
which its charter is framed, any toll
road which 1t may acquire is free from
condemnation proceedings.
The Turnpike company ITSELF pro-
tested on the ground that the courts
decided in 1889 the stretch of road in
question could not be condemned, be-
cause it was freed of toll-eates by an
raneement entered into with the city
the year before and consequently was
not actually a toll road. The Turnpike
company also pointed out that in 1897
IL proceeding similar to the present one
was dismissed on the ground of prior
adjudication.
The matter will now come up at ar
gument court. Watson, Diehle q Kem-
merer and l. II. Burns represented the
protestants The petition was repre-
sented by Hon. j. c. Vaughan.

shooting occurred.

HAVE YOU NOTICED THE LAMP S.As
IN OUR WINDOW '?

You may think they are all Roch- esters, but the most of them are not. They are Plume & Atwoods' lamps with the BELGIUM BURNER. You will notice that the stands are made of metal and that all are of artistic de- sign, which gives the purchaser a lamp of durability, and beauty But the greatest
 point about these lamps is the burner, which has a much smaller wick, burn time giving 20 per cent stronger light than other lamps. This means the saving of the price of lamp in a sea- son in the burning of oil. We lack space here to tell you all about these lamps and so invite you to call and look the line over and listen to the story of the Belgium burner.

AStOria's Carnival to Be Held
August 23, "a and Is.
PEOPLE BETTER SATISFIED
Original Dates Too Early and st the
Wrong Time In the Week
MstteT Definitely Settled
Last Evening.

II WAS definitely decided last even
Ing TO change the dates for holding
the regatta this year from August 70,
Il ana Is TO August 20. "A and Is. This
conclusion was reached after a Joint
meeting OF the advisory finance and
press committees at the customs house
yesterday afternoon. but no final ac-
tion was taken until the arrival OF one
of the members from Seaside on the,
evening train. as 1t was desired that
the action taken be unanimous.
The proposition 10 change the dates
brought forth considerable discussion.
As the time had already been announc-
ed broadcast throughout the Pacific
Coast States. it was argued by some
Of those at the conference that confu-
sion might arise through a change at
this stage. But reasons were given
to Offset this cSatention which were
finally accepted as the most plausible.
Besides, Information had come into the
possession Of the committeeman which
caused them to change the views for
merly held IS to the best lime for the
event. As to weather and tides. there
Is just as good reason to believe that
favorable weather will prevail upon the
newly-selected dates as upon the form
er. while the tides win be in perfee,
harmony with the program arranged
for river sports.
The committee on program arranged
for the list Of events. which promises
to be the most elaborate in the his
tory OF Astoria's annual carnivals. Ii
i Is proposed to devote two days tC
water sports and one day exclusively
to land sports. For the contests or
the river. entries have been made from
all the principal cities on the Pacific.
No final ARRANGEMENTS have yet beer
made for the selection OF a regatta
queen. but it is believed that plar
Of choosing her will be perfected early
in the coming week
Letters are being received daily from
the principal cities OF Oregon and
Washington assuring those in charge
of the regatta that thousands OF Wis
itors will be in Astoria from abroad
during the carnival.
The committee. headed by Governor
Geer. which has been endeavoring to
induce the government to detan two
war vessels to Astoria during the re.
gatta, is still at work On the matter
and a report win undoubtedly soon be
made as to the outcome.
