The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1904-02-17

Last nights Portland Journal eon-
tained the following story regarding a
former Astorian; J, l.. Talbot was
bound over today to the grand jury
by Municipal Judge Hogue on the
charge of malicious and wanton de-
struction Of property. His bail was
fixed at $3.50. Talbot was formerly a
partner of w. l.. Enyart in the Office
and Headquarters saloons. Business
difficulties followed and the firm sever
ed connections, Talbot and Enyart
harbored bitter feeling toward each
other, About a week ago Talbot, while
under the influence of liquor went to
the Headquarters saloon and smashed
a statue of an Indian girl, which deco
rated one end of the barroom. The in
iuries to the marble lady consisted in
her straw hat being broken in such a
manner that it could not be kept on
straight no matter how It was patched
one cheek was cracked and curl
which saggled over her shoulder was
broken off. In addition to these injur-
les the statue had part of the fig
leaf Clipped and also the dimple in the
chin erased. The figure cost $50 and
is injured beyond repair. 1t was sug-
gested by Attorney Hume that the

London. Feb 26. War correspond
ents and Europeans in Japan, comment
in amazement upon the success of Jap
anese officials in preserving secrecy
regarding all the operations of the war
declare that this conspiracy of ST
lence' Is not only confined to govern
ment circles but that it extends to
every section of the community. Ali
classes of people are submitting with
marvellous patience to being deprived
of news, which they recognize as i'm
perative to the success of the cause.
1t is undoubtedly in pursuance of
this policy that no Japanese account
of the Port Arthur attacks has yet
been published and none is expected
until Admiral Togo has compile ted
his designs there.
In the meantime. if tie report from
Yin Kow of japanese landing near
Vladivostock, which at pregent is
based ON missionary and native state
ments. should prove correct. most
important ard new development will
have been revealed. as it points to an
attack on Vladivostock from which
Rossiet bay is only little over seven
ty miles distant.
The report that the railroad has
been cut between Harbin and Vladiv
ostock may possibly be connected with
these operations; but until more reli-
able information is forthcoming this
report must be received with reserve.
1t has already been reported from To-
kio that certain Russian forces were
concentrating at Rossiet bay.
No further news of an attack after
the engagement in which the Japau-
ese attempted to sink vessels in such a
p'anner as to block the harbor entrance
has re ached London.

There has been a taste of tar in the
water for the past few days. Super
intendant Vedder of the water system
was appealed to for an explanation and
he said he would be glad to give what
information he possessed on the mat
ter. He acknowledged that the water
tasted somewhat of tar, but said it
was pure and would hurt no one. Tho
water for the past few days in the
river has been quite muddy and they
pacled their new skimming plant in
operation for the first time. The
skimmers have been calked with oak.

makes the water tatse little bad it is
not harmful and will soon disappear.
The water is perfectly pure and the
skimmers are working most success
fully. AS before this there had been
no need to use them and they had to
. be used sometime. Mr.. Vedder thought
the present time as good as any to
work them into use.

Asking your pardon. my mother won't let me go." then said the little girl.
 The fairy plucked a blade of grass and scratched his forehead. At last he said. in a wheeling voice:
 Your shoes. Ely; where are your shoes?"
 Ely glanced down at her small bare toes
 Sure. I never had shoes at all." she saidj sadly. "Is that so?' mocked the fairy, mail- ciously. Tt is,' said Ely and she sighed 'would you be after wearing fine new pair now if you had them?'' he inquired softly.
 .'Indeed and would' said she eagerly Sure I'd wear them to church of Sum day morning."
 Would you that, really?" asked the little man. with a queer smile.
 T would said poor Ely hopefully.
 'Tf you're that way of thinking. then" said he slyly, you'd do well to walk with me. Perhaps might find you pair" @.t"
 No" said Ely, I'll not do that" and she threw the last handful of food to the swine and returned to the shan ty.
 It was sunset the next evening when Ely sat on her three legged stool milking the old COW.
 "oh, you're here. are you?' said the little man suddenly swinging himself up by the cows tail to a seat on her back
 Its here am. indeed" replied Ely.
 Did I not say I was your friend, Ely. dear" he called down softly.
 Ely gave small cry of pleasure. In each hand the cunning fairy held a pretty shoe made of green leather.
 'Ts 1t for me you brought them, sir?" she gasped.
 For who else. indeed?" he said. laughing. Sure; what will I get in return?"
 'Tve naught to give" stammered Ely.
 That's poor paymentY said the lit- tie fellow. grinning. Tt Is that" acknowledged Ely, on the point of crying for fear she must lose the shoes. Come for a walk, then" said he and take the shoes for the pleasure of your company" He tossed them at her feet. and Ely put them on as fast as she could tie them. No sooner had she made them fast than the fairy leaped down from the cows back, threw his green cap in the air and catching it deftly again called out:
 Sure, this time I'll not be having to coax you to follow mel Sure enough Ely began to run after him with all her might.
 The old COW looked around in sur prise at the sight of her running wild ly across the field. her dark curls fly ing in the wind.
 Come on. then Alannaw called the fairy, hopping from one blade of grass to another. Ely followed so fast that the shrubs and trees seemed to be run ming away from her.
 "Ah, will you stop a bit" begged Ely. Sue the breaths gone off of me entirely" But the wee man never needed her
 The sharp tones cut through the soft leather of her shoes, and poor Eily's feet were scratched and bleeding. but

meath a golden cloud and the green trees grew black in the twilight.
 Where is it he's leading me?" she wondered. There were patches of vel vety moss here and there that soothed her aching feet, but a moment later she was tearing her way through a clump of thorny bushes into a wood.
 Its not to the bog he will be talk ing me-" she thought with breathless relief as they entered the forest. Sud- denly there came to her ears a curious tinkling sound.
 Iris running water" she exclaimed with surprise as she dragged herself wearily up a steep path. Of a sudden a shaft of moonlight cut through the trees and fell directly across her path. Eily saw with terror that her way led straight to the edge of a great rock encircled pool.
 Come then, Alannaw called the fairy, and the tiny light in his cap winked like a wicked eye.

ny ANNA MARBLE.

r-sA ny years ago there lived in Ireland n ls&tie girl named Ely O'More. E One very bright morning Eily was down on her knees digging potatoes when |Ehe heard her name called in a wee |Rr1all voice that appeared to come out of the potato vine. "Is 1t mother that's calling, wonder?" xoward the shanty.
 Sure. 1t isn't. It's me-" said the voice ,pEain. and Eily looked up to see tiny man, dressed in green, swinging his thin ilegs from the potato vine and smiling tat her. Ely stopped digging to stare at the Rtrange little fellow. -.'Tis a fine morning" he said. pleas antIy
 sso it is." agreed the ntle girl.
 will you not come for walk?" said the fairy.
 Indeed. then. couldn't" answered Eily.
 The little man pushed back his green cap and scratched his forehead with a blade of grass.
 "rm great friend of yours" said he
 s'Is that so?" said Ely. Tt is.' said he. Sure. knew you be- fore you were born
 .sIs that so?'' said Ely.
 " dSl 4J Ltio I1ldI StOtc LnO OL blue from the sky to make the color of your eyesr'
 ..Is that so?'' said Eily again, where upon the little man threw down the blade of grass and stamped on it. crying but lmpatiently:--
 'Arrah. can you say naught else but Is that so'?''
 T can that" said Ely. and the fariy went on.
 eDo you know the black duck that wad- dles behind the others? Twas from under his breast stole the fringe for your eye lashes."
 s.1s that so?" said Ely, but the fairy went on without needing her remark.
 T stole the cream from the old COW to make the color of your skim
 ssIs that s--' began Ely but the little fellow scowled so fearfully that she only said Sure 'tis wonderful!' and began to gather the potatoes into her ragged apron.
 sAm I not great friend of yours. klanna. and will you not walk out with me a bit?''
 Ely threw bad potato back into the patch.

Ely remembered the shoes, though she was nearly dead with fright and ex- haustion. She summoned all her re- maining strength and, without getting up from the ground managed to untie the strings. Then she held the shoes high above her head and with all her might flung them into the pool.
 With a terrible yell the fairy van ished, and Ely fell back and knew no more.
 When at last she awoke 1t was the song of the birds that reused her. She was lying where she had fallen, close to the pools edge. Her clothes were rent, and her hands and face and poor little feet were terribly cut, Her small body acbed, and she found 1t difficult to rise; but the fresh damp smell of the morning soon revived. her, and she made her way down the rocky path through the wood and across the fields to a neighboring farm.
 There she told the kind-hearted farm CTS wife of her terrible adventure and when she had eaten a meal of potatoes and milk the farmer took her across the country in his wagon.
 When they arrived at the shanty, she found her poor parents bewailing her disappearance and after they had em- braced the mother, with her warm arms still about Ely. turned the child's small face toward the window.
 What's happened your face, Ely, dear?" she asked. Sure the tip of your nose Is bent up like the broken sprout on the old brown teapot"
 And so it was. for you remember that when Ely tripped she fell upon her face. and they say to this very day that many little Irish girls bear the mark of her fall.

Ely shrieked aloud for help with all her remaining strength, but her voice was so weak that one couldn't have heard 1t a few feet beyond her.
 She was nearing the brink of the black pool with every step, and the thought of the slime of the water and the queer crawling things in the soft mud below made her sick with fear.
 With a last thought of her mother, she whispered a little prayer, when suddenly she fell to the earth with a shock at the very mouth of the pool. For moment she was stunned. for she had fallen eor- ward on her face; but she raised her self on her elbow at the sound of a hoarse cry and beheld the fairy in the moonlight stamping upon his cap in a fury
 Get up with youg' he screamed; but
