one.
In view of the facts above recited,
no reasonable person can expect me

Iii is the duty Of every good citizen

in which he lives, but have freely

Astoria has many good, enterpris-
ing men who would worthily carry

to enjoy the dignifed obscurity Of
an ex-Mayor and to gratefully re-
member, that the good people of AS
toria have been very kind to me,
indeed. Very faithfully,
HERMAN WISE.
The petitions that are being cir
culated in Mayor Wise's favor for
second term were prepared by friends
and the wording shows that his serv-
ices have been fully appreciated. The
petition reads as follows:
Honorable Herman Wise, Mayor,
Astoria, Oregon.
Understanding that you wish to
retire from Office, we ask that you
serve the city for two years longer
because we believe there are momen-
tous matters Of importance TO come
up during this time which will re-
quire handling BY a man Of energy
and determination.
That you have shown yourself to
be a man Of such characteristics is
evinced by the facts that the city
now has more and better streets;
more than twice the former fire pro-
lection; the City Park is a reality;
men of prominence have been proper
ly received; many improvements of
minor importance have been made
and the outside world can no longer
truthfully point their finger at AS
toria and say that it is one Of the
toughest places in the United States.
You have had leading part in all
this and we need you for two years
longer and we therefore ask you to
stand for reelection"

TENNESSEE JUBILEE SINGERS.

The individuals OF this company are
selected from among the best genuine
negro talent in America. Every
singer is thoroughly trained in the
art OF music and sings the very best
and most old-fashioned negro melo-
dies and songs in native dialect.
Everyone has thorough college or
university training, which, combined
with his high moral standards, carries
each audience away through series
OF artistic effects into the realm Of
humor until the closing number.
For many years Watkins Tennes-
see Jubilee Singers have demonstrat-
ed in song and wholesome character
work the negro life as existing dur
ing slavery as well as the progress Of
the race during 40 years Of freedom.
Every singer has a keen sense Of
what people appreciate most; there
fore every program is an education to
the young people who long for the
comical work of real slave darkeys
and for older people no songs appeal
and are priced SO much as rich, sweet,
but almost forgotten melodies Of
years ago" many Of which arc used
at every entertainment, and are snug

In communication to the AS.
aOrian Mayor Wise states that he
does not feel that he can afford tc
again hold the office; that the eX-
pense is so great as to virtually for
bid him from again seeking the may
crafty. Yet close perusal Of the
communication will tend to show
that Mayor Wise does not definitely
Fefuse to again become candidate,
and the letter perhaps carries the
intimation that if some adequate sal
ary be attached to the Office by a
vote Of the people he might again
consent to run,
AT the present time the, Office pays
but 500 year. II is well known
that Mayor Wise has lost quite heav-
ily in financial way during his in
cambency, and many argue that no
man should be expected to take an
0fEee which requires him to lose a
considerable amount Of money each
year.
II has been frequently suggested
Of late that charter amendment
should be prepared and carried at the
coming municipal election providing
for proper salary for the Office a
salary that would at least cover the
expenses Of the Office Yet whats
everyone business is no ones busi-
ness" and the result has been that
nDthing has been done to carry out
this plan. There is still time to do
this All that is required is that a
proper petition be gotten out and the
necessary signatures secured. The
Mayors letter follows in full, and it

rezsOns: The business Of the city has
grown so during the last few years
tfLat the Mayor must devote consid-
erahle time to his office; he must, if
lie has any pride or energy at all,
neglect his private affairs or else hire
some one to attend to them for him.

pIoy an extra man in my private
business.

night thing to properly entertain
prominent visitors who came here
and to worthily represent Astoria,
while myself visiting other cities;
which, together with other incidental
expenses, made heavy demands on
my private purse and, being man
Of only moderate means, ! find the
drain burdensome.
The salary Of the Mayor as fixed
in the charter is one hundred dollars
per annun1, from which five dollars
must be deducted whenever he is
obliged to absent himself, on account
Of sickness or for any other reason:

Delicate, weak, nervous women should
especially stlun the use OF alcoholic
medicines which, from their stimulate
ing and exhilerating effects may seem,
for time, to do good, but which from
the inevitable effects of the alcohol in
shrinking up the red corpuscles OF the

harm in the long run. Besides they
beget craving for stimulants which is
most deplorable.
