THE LATEST WAR NEWS.

The latest war news is eagerly
sought after To some it brings hap
piness, as they read Of valiant deeds
accomplished. while to others, the
same message brings sorrow, when
they note the death or capture Of their
loved ones. There is also much sor-
row and suffering throughout our own
country by those who have been cap
tured by that greatest enemy-Dys-
pepsia. For this, however. there is q
remedy and that is Hostetter's stom-
ach Bitters, which also cures indi-
gestion, constipation. biliousness, ner-
vousness and insomnia, and as pre-
ventatice for malaria. fever and ngue

IMPROVEMENT OF STREETS,
Advantages OF Doing the Work by Pri-
vate Contract Seventh and Ninth
Streets Protest.

The protest Of number Of property
owners on Seventh and Ninth streets
against the improvement Of those
thoroughfares by the city, brings up
a question that 1t seems the citizens
should be able to settle once and for
all time. The protestants want the
streets named improved but they want
to do the work by private contract.
The council undoubtedly will allow
them. to undertake the work upon the
payment OF the expense to which the
city has been to In the matter already.
The council would have been Just as
willing to allow the citizens to do the
work by private contract in the start
and thus saved the latter expense but
the property owners could not agree.
II Is a well-known fact that citizens
can make street improvements much
cheaper than the same work can be
done by this city, because they
make cash contracts and contractors
are willing to work for a less rroflt
for ready money. Besides this, In do
ing the work by private contract, the
citizens save considerable expense In
advertising for bids, etc, which the law
compels the city to undergo Know
ing this. It Is a wonder that the citi-
xens ever allow the city to improve

Tax Receipts Show Her TO Be In
Better Shape Than Ever.
STARTLING COMPARISONS
County Commissioners Throw Off
cial Bouquets at the Sheriff, As
SCISSOR and the Taxpayers.

Never IN the history Of clatsop coun-
~ have matters relative 10 tax
collections given such universal satis-
faction as for the fiscal year Taxes
were paid more promptly and with
less haggllng and complaint, the work
Of collection was done with less frlc-
tlon and expense and the assessment
roll was found TO have been freer from
errors and entanglements than at pre-
ylous periods.
A. the session Of the county court
yesterday, the time was almost exclu-
alyely occupied by the examination of
the rolls turned over TO that body by
the sheriff.
Only errors Of the most trifiIng con-
sequence were discovered. the sum
total OF such mistakes amounting to

markable showing. an. In many in
stances In the past, the rolls have con-
taiued on each OF score OF pages, err
rors amounting to a far greater sum
than the total errors this year.
The report OF Sheriff Linville on re-
cclptS Tor taxes up 10 the close OF the
collection period on the hrst OF the
month. shows that the people OF clat-
sop county are In better financial con-
dlilon than they have been for several
years past. Indeed. the amount OF de-
linquency found on the books after the
close OF collections is found TO be less
this year than at any time within the
history OF the county.
The total amount represented on the
assessors roll this year was $685.

paid before the hour OF closing the
books rs provided by law. Several
hundred dollars were received immedl-
ately after through the mails and from
persons who were delayed In reaching
the city. for one cause or another. 1t
can be seen. therefore, that the actual
delinquency Is much less than $1,000.
In order that correct idea OF the great
improvement over past wears may be
gained II may be stated that last year
the delinquent list amounted TO $2i.-

and for the year Immediately pre-
ceedlng-ln isse-the delinquencles ran
up to total sum OF s29,9SisO. or over
30 per cent OF the total amount OF

In view OF these figures, Clatsop
county has made this year a record
which has not only discounted col
lections OF all previous years but. in
deed. those Of all other counties In the
state. according to the reports now at
hand.
The report OF Sheriff Linville shows
that the collections just made were

pRoF McuE,s WITHDRAWAL.
A Case Where Personal Ambition Has
Been Utterly subordinated.


The action OF Prof. John c. McCue
IN withdrawing from the legislative
contest before the republican county
convention has caused considerable
comment among the rank and file OF
the party In this city. Much discus
sion was caused about town yesterday
by the article published in the As
torian. coupled with the announcement
made by Professor McCue concerning
his decision 10 drop out Of the con-
test.
To an Astorlan representative yes
terday. Professor Mccue stated his
reasons for his action. He declared
that his withdrawal was due TO the
conviction that objections might be
raised by members Of the party to the
candidacy OF two young men on the
Legislative ticket.
I'm View OF this objection" said
Professor Mccue. Il felt that II would
be wise for me TO drop out OF the race
Even were both Mr.. Young and my
self 10 receive the nominations. one or
the other-possibly both-would suffer
at the polls and the opposition might
be enabled 10 pull through.
Mr.. Young has had previous exper-
ience in the state legislature and. no
doubt. would make strong candidate
on that account. II IL on this account
that feel that II would b. telter for
all concerned that l should take the
action have.
You may announce this as my only
reason for Withdrawing from the con-
test"
The opinions expressed by party lead
ers indicate general impression that
Professor Mccue's position on the mat
ter has established him in high stand

county. purely because he has mani
Tested voluntary willingness TO sacrifice
personal ambition 10 what he deems
TO be the interest Of the party ticket;
not that Professor McCue would not
draw the party strength as well as Mr..
Young could. but because of the gen.
eral impression that at least one Of the
candidates would have to be sacrificed.
and that in voluntarily withdrawing,
Professor McCue is ere liled with hav-
ing taken n decidedly generous and
graceful stand

CALL FOR CITY WARRANTS.
City Treasurer Carney Makes an I'm
portant Announcement and Dis
cusses Its Effect.

City Treasurer Carney has announced
that on Tuesday next he will issue a
call for all outstanding warrants
against the city on the general fund
endorsed prior to September lst, last.
The payment Of these warrants will
mean cash expenditure of from S15,-
900 to $4,000. indicating a most pros
porous condition in the city.
The city warrants are now being
taken up at par and Astorlans gener-
ally have much cause for feeling grati-
fed over the prevailing financial con-
ditions.
Treasurer Carney stated last night
that there was general approval and
satisfaction throughout the city rela-
tive to the manner and promptness In
which the city's outstanding indebted
ness was being handled. Not only were

ing Diplomas In RalOton Course.

Mrs c, II. Henderson, wife Of CITY
Physician Henderson OF this city. re.
turned from San Francisco yesterday
morning on the steamer State OF Cal
ifornla, having spent the past six
weeks In taking course In the Rails
ton system OF physical culture. Mrs.
Henderson brought with her num-
Der OF diplomas OF which she Is justly
proud Indeed, Mrs. Henderson came
away with something even more graft
flying than the diplomas, as she is be-
lleved to be the only lady north OF the
California Oregon line who holds full
license TO teach the system. However,
Mrs. Henderson undertook the work
purely for pastlme and the advantages
to be derived along the lines OF physl-
cal Improvement, She was accompan-
ted by Mrs. Duncan Stewart of this
city and the records show that Mrs.
Henderson and Mrs, Stewart were the
only members OF a class OF several
hundred who attained a percentage OF
iO0-perfection.
Among the diplomas brought from
the school by Mrs. Henderson was one
from the junior grade, one comforting
the degree OF bachelor OF physical cul-
ture and another for the -gradu-
ate course as master OF physical cul-
ture.
The Ralston system of physical cul-
ture has become recognized by physi-
clans throughout the civilized world as
not only a preventative but cure for
disease.
The friends Of Dr. Henderson are
poklng much good-natured fun at him
for ever permitting Mrs, Henderson to
take up n study so essentially opposed
to the pecunlary success Of his own
profession. The doctor laughingly re-
plies by saying;
"Well, had l known that she would
have grown so proficient am sure
would have raised a strenuous objec-
tion."

uPTURNED BOAT COMES ASHORE.
No Trace of the Bodies of the Missing
Boys.

It is now settled in the minds of the
parents and friends Of the two boys,
Hugo Lindstrom and Warren Robin
son. who went boat riding on Saturday
evening last and have not been seen
since, that the lads are drowned. No
trace of the bodies have been found
and many believe that they never will
be found. 1t is said that if the boys
drifted on their upturned boat far
enough down the river to get into
what is called the 'jetty current" it
is almost certainty that the bodies
were carried out to sea.
On the other hand quite lumber
of friends of the parents are satisfied
that the bodies will come ashore near
Chinook. Their contention was
strengthened yesterday by the news
that the boat in which the boys went
out had come ashore near Chinook.
The report that boat had drifted in
on Flavel beach was found to be err
roneous by Mr.. Robinson, father of one
of the boys, who went to that part Of
the river to make certain that the boat
was the one taken out by the boys.
He could find no trace of boat hav-
ing come ashore and a careful search
failed to reveal the bodies of the miss
ing youths.
An idle story started in Uppertown
to the effect that the boys had run
away was quickly run down to its
source, a boy about the same age as
the lost lads. All the foundation he
had for the tale was that 1t might
be So"
