Steene.
MARCH 8th.--Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Sweet, of Greenfield, spent Saturday
and Sunday with Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Dennis.
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Spry left Monday
morning for Wilkes-Barre, where they
will reside until the middle of June,
when they will return to their summer
home at Steene.
Mrs. Warren Buckland met with quite
a severe accident last Thursday morning.
In stepping from her back kitchen door
way to the porch she slipped and fell
backward, striking heavily on her right
hip and side. No bones were broken,
but she is suffering considerably from
the bruises she received.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen Kegler drove
out in Clinton township last Wednesday
morning, for a visit with friends, in
tending to return the next day; but the
next day it showed and blew, and in q
short time their passage toward home
was blocked with huge snow drifts. But
Friday morning, with several teams, men
and shovels in the lead, they managed
to reach their home in safety, at late
hour.
Don't forget the box social and guess
ing contest at the chapel, on Wednes-
day evening, March 10th.
At present the Lake Lodore Company
is short of men. For the paltry sum of
sixteen cents an hour men who have
homes and families do not care to run
the risk of their lives.
Rev. M. d. Fuller, the District Super
intendent, preached vary interesting
sermon at the M. E. Chapel, on Sunday
afternoon, taking for his text the 84th
Chapter of Psalms, and the l1th verse,
"For the Lord God is sun and shield 4;
the Lord will give grace and glory. No
good thing will he withhold from them
that walk uprightly."
at is an old saying that "Wise lads
and old fools are not our best citizens. "
Another is, "Always look before you
jump" but some folks do the jumping
first, and then look back to see why
they did it. Another saying is that "Some
men and women are bundle of habits;
therefore it important that habits when
first formed be of the right sort"
Cows are starting in this spring with a
pretty good price on their fat new but
ter is selling at 80 cents per pound; eggs
have dropped to 25 cents per dozen,
while apples and potatoes are selling at
$1.OO per bushel, and hard to get at that.
Veal calves are bringing 6 cents per
pound live weight dressed chicken, Is
and 20 cents per pound; maple syrup
will bring more than year ago, by at
least one-third, as the flow of sap will be
at least one-half less than last year.
Captain Charles E. Baker, of Way
mart, dressed two chickens, last week, OF
the Black Minorca breed, that tipped
the scales at six pounds and four ounces
each, bringing him, at Is cents per
pound, about So 40 for the pair.

Bright Attractions.

Mr.. Shortly's "Grand" moving pic
ture house is never behind the high
standard observed in the business
here at Astoria, and his present bill
is indubitable proof of this. The pro-
gram for today comprehends the
following attractions and songs: "The
Scar" Sammy Celebrates" "The
Actors Baby Carriage" and @The
Professors Love Tonic" all on the
curtain, and Sweetheart Town." and
meath the Old Grape-Arbor
Shade" two very pretty and catchy
songs. The pictures in "The Scar
are very clear and warmly colored
presentments Of a thrilling play, in
which the settings are unusually eff
fecetive and beautiful, the play hing
ing on the bite lovely girl leaves on
the left hand Of an insistant and hate
ful lover whose death she circum-
vents just before his marriage with
her sister.

Monmouth Girls Win

The Monmouth Normal team de-
feated the girls Of the Astoria High
school last night in the basket bail
game on the floor Of the Athletic
Club gymnasium by score OF 9 TO !.
"A crowd OF upwards OF ESQ witnessed
the contest. which was interesting
and full Of movement all Of the time.
The score Of 9 to / hardly tells the
story OF the game, for while the visi-
torss outplayed the local girls during
much OF the game, nevertheless the
High School girls finished strong and
during the second half Of the contest
put up as good a game as the cham
pions from Monmouth College The
visitors practically won the game in
the FIRST half, but in the second the
home girls got hold OF themselves
and did very well. Many Of the well
known ladies and gentlemen Of the
city witnessed the game, and there
was much feminine roofing for the
Astoria girls. The game Of last night
demonstrated the great interest that
Astoria is taking in athletics, For
the local team Lennah Parker and
Addie Abercrombie did noticeably
strong work, while Mignon Burt of
the visitors showed very hne skill in
throwing baskets. The game last
night demonstrated that the home
team has the makings Of most ex-
cellent FIVE, and there seems no rea-
son why they should not get up
among the top-notches. Their oppon-
ents of last night are one Of the best
girls teams in Oregon.

The High Water

Muskrats had a part in the breaking
Of the dykes in the Warrenton dis
trict, according to a gentleman from
that city who was in Astoria yester.
day, He says the mushuats are very
numerous in that district and that
they dig and buFrow in the embank.
ments OF a great degree. The water
follows along through the holes made
by them and finally eats a larger pas
sage. and II was through these holes
that the first breaks came, according
to this informant. He also added
that some Of the boys catch hun
dreds Of the muskrats each winter
season, for the purpose Of selling
their furs, but that their number has
not been materially diminished. The
flooded condition in and around War
renton has not abated and yesterday
conditions were reported as pretty
bad There is trouble at the Old
Oregon Mills, especially.

A GREEK IS MURDERED
At CLIFTON
CRIPPLE is SUPPOSED TO
HAVE BEEN KILLED BY
HIS COMPANION.

Evidences of a horrible crime were
disclosed yesteday morning at Cliff
ton when the dead body of man
was found near the river front, cut
and slashed in a terrible manner.
The dead man is supposed to have
been one Of two Greeks who went to
Clifton the preceding night They
put up at hotel there and the next
thing known of either was when the
body found near the river. The dead
man was a cripple, and it is presum-
ed he was killed by his companion.
The names of the dead man or of
his companion are not known, nor is
any motive for the Staying known.
nor is any motive for the Staying
known. The second man has disap-
peared.
Coroner Gilbaugh went up to Cliff
ton yesterday and brought the body
back last night. An inquest will be
held here tomorrow. Mr.. Gilbaugh
said last night the body is mutilated
pretty badly, and that it will probably
require an expert examination to de-
termine with exactness the nature of
the weapon used. One or two wit
nesses will come down from Clifton
to the inquest. Mr., Gilbaugh made
thorough investigation Of the matter
as far as was possible but thus far
very little light can be thrown on
the matter, beyond the mere fact that
the man was apparently murdered.
It is said the two men had been in
this city Deputy Sheriff Mclean
also went to Clifton yesterday and
investigated the matter.

After The Chinese

Acting Chief Of Police obcrg yes
terday got after hall dozen OF the
Chinese merchants who sell Chinese
gin and white mans whisky as side
lines in their shops, and called upon
them to step up 10 the city hall and
pay their Sio0 Wholesale licenses.
The news passed through Chinatown
like wildhre, and nothing else was
talked Of there yesterday Hop Hong
Lung Co, by one Of its representa-
tives, hurried to the city hall and paid
over the sum Of si0O, while Hong
Yik also dug" for the same amount
Three or four others are expected to
pay up, too, Or otherwise they will be
arrested. II Is well known to the
police that the Chinese constantly
sell intosicants in their stores, though
il Is difficult to catch them at it. and
presumably they should all get out a
regular retail license, which costs
S400. At all events the 500 whole.
sale license is better than nothing.
for the city needs the money very
badly.

A Scoop.

Without saying word Herman
Wise hiked himself to Chicago and
New York to get ahead Of his com.
petitors and the boys in his store are
tickled because the new spring styles
OF suits for men and young men are
so beautiful, nothing like them has
ever been seen before. Mr., Wise
writes from the east that he just went
to the leading manufacturers and
asked the special favor Of giving him
the FIRST pick of the latest things in
suits, AS a result the stylish fellows
in Astoria will have the latest spring
suits ahead OF any city on the coast
and as soon as the good dressers Of
the eastern metropolis, Mr.. Wise
states that price cuts no figure with
him. 1t was style and workmanship
that he was after and he secured what
is best today in Chicago and New
York.
Look in the windows Of Wise's
store and see what the Broadway
chaps are going to wear. There's
nothing slow about Herman Wise,
He is Astoria's champion clothier and
there is not one Of them in all Oregon
to take the championship away from
him. Whoopla, but the statesmen in
Wise's clothing store are proud Of
the old mans scoop,
In addition to these new spring
clothes Mr.. Wise has sent by express
the niftiest neckwear.
II you want the latest; if you want
style; come to Wlses for you can't
look foolish in a Wise suit.

unlaIr Rates


Attention Is called to the rates es-
tablished by the railways in conncc-
ton with the steamship lines TO Europ-
can points; from New York city the
rate to Astoria is $50, which Is the
highest rate charged 70 any point in
Oregon, Washington or the State of
California. Other cities along the
coast like Aberdeen, are charged
SAB, as Il practically every city ii
Oregon outside Of Portland. Why
Astoria should be "soaked' 81 or 81
more than all the other cities and
towns along the coast cannot even be
conjectured here. The very highest
rate in Washington Is to Oak Har-
bor at $4o.2S, and the highest in the
State Of California is $40, while Of
course Astoria leads them all with
the even $50. Astoria Is much easier
OF access than many Of the places
where the extra dollar or two is not
charged l.. @. Belland, who is the
agent for various steamer lines, is
endcavoring 10 have the small but
exceedingly unfair sum removed

LIBRARY LADIES MAKE.
+. FINE SHOWING
ANNUAL MEETING YESTER.
DAY. AND NEW OFFICERS
ARE ELECTED.

AT the annual meeting Of the As
toria Public Library Association held
In the library rooms yesterday after
noon the following officers were elect.
ed for the ensuing year:
President, Mrs. A. D. Garner; vice
president, Mrs. O. Wingate; secre-
tary, Mrs. J. H. Smith; treasurer
Mrs. II. r. Pfael.
II was decided to. continue the IL
brary free for another year. The fine
on overdue books was raised from /
cent to 3 cents per day, this action
being deemed necessary owing to the
carelessness Of patrons in not re-
turning books. With larger fine it
Is hoped the books will not be kept
out Of circulation so long.
Reports Of the various retiring Off
GERS we're read. Mrs. A. D. Garner's
report as retiring secretary shows
that the great total of 1853 visitors
10 the reading room Is recorded, and
while this figure may be based upon
estimates, it nevertheless shows be-
yond question the importance Of the
reading room. The books taken out
numbered 1888, There were 16l
new books added 10 the library.
The report of Gertrude NJ. Finch,
treasurer for the last year, shows the
total receipts Of the past year to have
been Sl026.o3, Of which the city gave
1896; in fines S6l.Oo was secured; from
the cooking sale the sum Of $62.2l
was secured. After all disbursements
were made there is still balance Of
$3.50 in the treasury.
How the ladies have managed to
conduct the library on the ridicu-
lously small sum Of little over $1,000
for year is not very clear, and it
shows that they have practiced
economy to a fine degree. Thus it
appears that the total cost of the pub
lie library in a city having popula-
ton Of upwards Of $4,000 cost only
little bit more in cash than did the
services Of the janitor Of the city hall
during the same length Of time.
The report Of the retiring presi-
dent, Mrs. Marion B. Troyer, was as
follows:

In accordance with the usual Gus
tom, ! take pleasure in submitting the
following report for the year ending
February 6, 1909. The year just clos
ed has been unusual on account of
recognizing the library and making
1t free. II was entered upon as an
experiment for one year, but, as our
secretary's and treasurer's reports
will show it has been so successful
that we may consider it an establish
ed institution,
That the public has been benefited
and has taken greater interest than
heretofore will be shown by the
large number of cards taken out 1t
is source of great satisfaction that
subscribers generally have been excep-
tionally careful in handling books;
nevertheless the new order requires
the rebinding Of volumes more fire.
quently than formerly, also a greater
number Of books for circulation, and
consequently will necessitate addi-
tional expenditure. Whereas the
money received from the city will,
with careful management, pay the
ordinary running expenses of the
library it will be necessary to call
upon the public occasionally for as
sistance,
The ready response at the time Of
the home cookery sale, last Septem-
Der, leads us to believe that our
friends and patrons are willing to as
sist us when called upon.
One suggestion that l would like
to offer is revision Of the fine sys-
tenn With the present rate of one
cent per day, many patrons become
careless Of returning books, prefer
ring to pay nominal fine to bringing
a book back when due. This works a
hardship on other subscribers as it
very often keeps the most sought
after books out of circulation.
Special attention has been paid dur.
ing the year, to the children, in the
way of adding table and chairs for
their especial use together with an
appropriation for the purpose Of pur-
chasing more juvenile books, We
hope, in time, to make this very
Interesting department.
We regret, very much, the resigna-
tions from the "Board" Of three
workers, Mesdames Trullinger Tay-
lor and George.
The different committees are de.
serving Of special mention, as the
work for the past year has exaeted
considerable time and thought.
wish to express my appreciation for
the hearty way in which they have
eo-operated with me in accomplish
ing the work assigned them.
Respectfully submitted,
MARION B. TRoYER.

tracy tierney.
A very pretty home wedding took pIac'
at 7 O'Clock Thursday evening at the resi-
dence OF E. J. Mckenzie at Essex Center
when his niece, Mabel Gertrude Tracy
oldest daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey
Tracy OF Randolph, was united in mar
riage to James il. Tierney OF Roxbury, by
the Rev. F. B. Blodgett of the Methodist
Episcopal church.
At the first strains OF the wedding
march played by Mrs. Blodgett, the brid-
al couple, attended by Miss Laura Bates
and Mr.. Fay Mckenzie, marched to the
parlor, where a very pretty corner was
decorated with ferns and sweet peas. The
arch and wedding bell were artistically
decorated with evergreens and white
dahlias. The bride was gowned in Law
ender suit, wore q black picture hat and
carried sweet peas, while the bridesmaid
wore a dark blue suit and carried white
flowers.
The groom wore the conventional
black. The ring service was used, the
ring bearer being little Florence Bates.
After the wedding ceremony, the guests
we're invited to the dining room, which
was decorated in autumn leaves and flow
ers, where they were feasted with ice
cream and cake. After awhile, amid con-
CALCULATIONS, best wishes and showers OF
rice, the bridal couple left for Burlington
and other places before returning to Rox-
bury, where they are to live. The groom
is superintendent Of the Vermont State
Fish hatchery. The out-of-town guests
were the BRIDES brother, Oscar Tracy
from Randolph, and Miss Blanchard of
Montpelier.

In the return football game here Friday
afternoon, Randolph high fairly ran over
Mortified high, scoring eight touch
downs and five goals. Northheld was
unable to make any ground gains, while
Randolph's plays we're run of very sue
cessfully in nearly every case. 1t was no
unusual thing for the halls to skirt the
ends or dodge through openings for 40 OF
so yard gains and plant the ball between
the posts.
Randolph showed good form, speed
and strength throughout and put up its
best game OF the season. There was some
really clever interference and swift work.
Once Dunn caught a forward pass and
scooted over the line with it, but was
brought back for passing over the side
lines. The slickest play by Randolph
was when Behrendt, with the ball tucked
under his sweater, strolled over alone and
made the line. Rowell and CIafiin we're
fast. The last touchdown was made with
only one minute left from the kickoff.
