TO STOP VICIOUS
PRACTICE
LADIES OF ASTORIA WANT CITY
TO PROHIBIT USE OF RUBBER
BALL AND STRING DURING RE-
GATTA-SPREADS DISEASE.

As the Regatta and County Fair APP
proaches a number OF ladies in Astoria
are anxiously enquiring as TO whether
the city is going TO allow the use Of
rubber balls on the end of elastic, as on
former occasions. II this is going to be
tolerated they declare that they will
not stir out OF doors.
The reason for this is that at the
Fourth of July celebration several peo.
pie were struck in the face by the rub
ber balls, in some cases by full grown
men, and became victims OF serious
skin disease. After weeks suffering
and much doetering, one lady managed
to recover from the skin disease. This
was not until il had spread from a point
of her chin to her throat, face anI neck.
This lady, who did not care to give
her name was struck on the chin by a
rubber ball by a man. The missile made
a slight embrasure on the skin which
spread rapidly, and the physician in
attendance was positive that the skin
disease was carried from the face OF
some diseased person, who had been
struck with the ball before il struck the
lady.
There is another case in the city of
the same nature, and the victim is a
young girl, who was struck on the ear
by one of the playful rubber balls.
She had not recovered from the contag-
ion carried by the ball, as yet, and it is
possible that it may become worse as
time goes by,
1t is q generally understood iaet that
there is TO pleasure in receiving a blow
in the face from a rubber ball, and the
person who enjoys this playful" feature
OF a celebration, generally keeps it up
until II ends in fight. 1t is custom
started by few fifth rate pedllers
having no regular means of existance,
and there is yet to be anything said in
favor of banging people in the face
with a rubber ball.
Because of the dangerous nature of
this practice, several ladies OF the city
are anxious that the city authorities
should prohibit the using of rubber balls
for this purpose, or any other style of
missile with such injurious effects, 1t
is certain that the prohibition OF the
practice would meet with favor from all
quarters and it is hoped that the city
will take such action in the matter as it
sees fit,

managed to guide the little craft to
safety. OF course the boys were not
seasick--perish the thought--but they
were all-fred uneasy. Wet to the skin
by the dashing spray and the heavy

craft they reached Ilwaco and then had
the nerve to say that they enjoyed the

THE COUNTY COURT
IN SESSION
DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO ADVISE
COURT AS TO c0R0NER's JURIS.
DIcTI0N - COSTS IN CASES AT
SEASIDE.

The regular session OF the county coufi
for the August term opened yesterday
County Judge Trencbard and Commits
aioncr John Frye were present.
The district attorney In view OF the
various drownings In the Columbia
River was requested TO advise the court
as to the duties Of the county coroner
outside the limits Of the county and to
what extent bis Jurisdiction extends.
In the case Of the justice Of the peace
at Seaside precinct II appeared TO the
court that c0et OF bills In various cases
are presented to the court for payment
and the court being OF the opinion that
the costs should have been collected 1t

tect the county the costs In cases will
not be allowed by the county until 1t

the court presumed that no fines were
collected
County Judge Trenebard reported that
he personally examined the work done
on the Elk Greek road under contract by
A. w. Duncan and found that It had
been done according to contract. He fur
ther found that $4,000 feet remained to
be completed to Elk Creek and that oil
the work should be done at once to give
the people the benefit OF it, There are no
funds to do II with this year and the
Judge felt upon examination that some
repairs might be made to the old road
that would prove benefit this season.
Having discussed the matter with A. w.
Duncan, supervisor Of district No. 2, he
ordered A. w. Duncan to proceed with
his force OF men and make the repairs
at an expense not to exceed $500.
Bids were received on the county road
between Min Creek and. Van Dusens,
as follows;
L. A. Clark, 7sc per foot; Welsh &
Dillon, $4350.
Both bids being considered TOO high
they were rejected.
In regard to the neglect OF the Ham
mond Lumber Company allowing Cana.
dian thistles TO grow on their property,

Of same, II was ordered that the clerk

for $500 on account OF his contract.
II was ordered that the warrant or
dered Tor the Chamber of Commerce be
