The Human Appetite.

OF all the whimsical, shifting, unre-
liable, treacherous, exacting things IN
the world, the human appetite for the
right thing to eat is, perhaps, the
most unreasonable and imperious'
There are those who humor it; 9th
ers who defy it; and all men are more
or less inclined to treat it with con-
sideration. To find place where
these varying attitudes may be fos'
tered, ut the least cost in each case,
and Yet keep the appetite in proper
and peaceful subsection, is always
desirable information, One place that
is conceded as perfectly adapted Il
this, is the Palace Restaurant just
opposite the Page building, on Com
mercial street, in this city. Try !
once, and patronize it always; that i
the rule of the Palace.

Injunction Possible

The protest published in these col
umns yesterday morning over the
signature Of Geo, c, Flavel regard
ing the proposed establishment of
additional oil tanks in this city met
with apparently far.reaching approv-
al by many prominent citizens who
were quite as frank about the matter
as was the Astorian's correspondent;
though many Of them including such
men as ]. w WEIGH, the Fisher
brothers, Benjamin Young. and 9th
ers. went further, and declared their
readiness TO subscribe promptly and
adequate for try.out in the mat
ter OF an injunction against the in
tended concession by the council; a
step that if successful, is likely to be
followed BY the further effort to dis
lodge the tanks already established
within the city limits, There can be
no question OF the sincerity Of the
purpose of these men in making a
very positive effort in this direction

DEATH or CLIFFORD 0.
MOON, YESTERDAY
EXPIRES AFTER YEARS OF
SUFFERING = WAS WIDELY
KNOWN IN THIS SECTION

The startling intelligence Of the
death Of Clifford 0. Moon, Of this
city, announced yesterday shortly
after 2 o'clock, Mr.. Moon having ex.
pircd in his rooms at the Hotel
Northern at that hour. The news
was entirely unexpected, in the sense
that, while many knew Of Mr. Moons
invalid condition, none knew that he
was in serious straits save those in
close and intimate association with
him at the hotel. His prominence
here and long career in Astoria, made
him thoroughly well known from one
end OF the city to the other, but his
malady "a grave affection Of the kid
neys and liver) induced reserve and
scclusion on his part that practically
detached him from general notice.
Decedcnt has suffered for long
years his primary trouble being tu-
bcrculosis Of the stomach from which
he found relief under the skilful treat.
mcnt Of DR.. Alfred Kinney, only TO
return in other manifestations OF
grayer character from which he never
really rallied. His sickness superin-
duced a reticence that almost barred
him with contact with his fellows
and, perhaps, moved him 10 refrain
from telling anyone anything OF his
family matters or people It is known
that he has some relatives in Wis.
consin. and they will be communicate
ed with in due course. Mr.. Moon
was il his sSth year, and a shrewd
businessman, and it is believed that
he left a modest fortune Of $4,000,
or more. fact that is likely to be
developed upon administration Of his
estate, or upon the reading Of his
will, IL he has left one. He was a
Norwegian by birth and a man OF
considerable culture.
| He has, been a.resident Of this city
for the, PAST 26 years and was best
known as one of the earliest con-
tributors TO the public lighting indus
TRY in Astoria, having built and man
aged the initial gas plant of the city
retaining his interest in the old com.
pany. until he very recently disposed
OF il to the Astoria Electric Com
pany, in the new deal just consum
mated by that concern. He cam,
from Petaluma, Cal, to this city.
| II Is understood that Mr.. Moor
was member of the Masoni,
Order, and an Odd Fellow in goot
standing and ii is probable tina
these fraternities will take due inter
est in the matter of his sepulture
unless his knsmen shall make othe
arrangements, or he, himself shal
have expressed certain wishes Of hi
own in the solemn premise.
Notice will be given in these col
umn OF the final disposition of tn
} remains Of the late, respected AstoI
ian, who, aside from the sufferin
which held him aloof from the wide
social range usually occupied by me
. of his calibre, was known far an
wide as man of high integrity an
scrupulous honor,

Evidently Strangers

Four young men, from Michigan,
evidently wellto-db, arrived in AS
toria yesterday morning on the Has
salo for the purpose Of looking over
the possibilities OF the city and
county for investment They were in
,erested in the fishing on the river,
and as where they came from a place
where all fishing is done with hook
and line, they supposed the fishermen
used the same here, but had dozen
along both sides of the boat When
shown 4O.pound salmon, they could
hardly believe they were caught il
the river. They formed a favorable
impression OF Astoria and left on the
noon train for Seaside,

Uppertop.n Up III Arms-

Uppertown Up In Arms
II Is credibly reported at this Office
that there is a very strong feeling
afoot in Uppertown anent the essen
tial and speedy improvement, by
the city, Of the two blocks, Of Duane
and Thirty.ffth streets around the
school hoGse al that point which has
been closed and in a state OF disuse
for the past three years to the patent
discomfort and Inconvenience Of the
citizenry UP that way. II was main
thoroughfare for the vast majority Of
people in Uppertown and the matter
seems to have been utterly forgotten,
or deliberately ignored BY the Coun-
eli, and the present movement is to
arouse both people and Council to
the necessity Of proceeding with the
repairs required at that point and
putting the streets into active and
compensating use again, and resum-
ing the traffic that has needlessly
barred for all this time. The abut.
ting property owners, in the closed
period, have not spent one dollar for
Improvements Of any sort in that
immediate ncighborhood and will no,
until the avenues are put back into
public use. There is, to be exact. one
block on Duane and half block on
Thirty.hfth, involved and it is not
doubted that the Council will take
Immediate and proper steps to meet
the wishes Of these residents and
correct matter that has been far too
Int,e, neglected

The members of the societies have

ing hard. and the lines will be given

with all the up-to-date electrical
effects such as sunsets, moonlight. etc.
This drama is of the popular type and
is we'll known play. 1t is very old
but has never lost it's popularity
which speaks very we'll for it. The
plot is we'll founded. the situations
are natural and the stage settings are
beautiful. The scene is founded in
the northern part of Ireland among
the mountains. The best talent in
the school forms the cast and their
best efforts are being put forth and

TWO CARLOADS OF POPCORN
Crawford County is Becoming Noted for Fine
Quality Of Popcorn it Produces

Crawford County is gaining wide
reputation as pop corn center. For
many years it was grown successfully
in a small way, enough to su ply the
family popper during the winter, but
of recent years it has been found to
be profitable crop. jackson town
ship has made fine reputation as a
popcorn belt and on yesterday two
other Crawford county farmers. Carl
Lutz and Louis Heiden shipped two
carloads of popcorn to the Chicago
market. There were about thirty
wagon loads in the procession that
brought the un-popped popcorn into
town. Had the unpopped popcorn
been popped how many peppers of
popped popcorn would Pepper Heiden
have? The price was $l.25 per hun
dred, not SO good a price as usual but
enough to make it good paying crop.
This is another sample of what Craw-
ford county can do. At "Five a
Sack" there must have been a good
many thousand dollars in the two car
shipment.

MEMORIES OF OTHER DAY.
Title Page Of the Magazine Section Freighted
With Scenes Of the Tented Field and Of
Strife Of Battles.

The colored title page of our liter
airy magazine represents an Ex-Union
soldier in G. A. R. uniform with his
empty sleeve. He seems standing
with closed eyes and in the hazy dis
lance appears battle scene. the boys
rushing to the contest, shells flying.
soldiers dropping from the ranks.
The yearly recurring Memorial Days
must necessarily bring to the minds
of the old soldiers many scenes like
the one depicted and it is probable
that while listening to addresses, and
going through the usual ceremonies
their minds wander to the days when
they wore the Union blue and endured
the trials of stern warfare. There
are some old soldiers. however. who
refuse to think of the war times. will
not talk about them, or unite them
selves with organizations like the G.
A. R. War was to them scene upon
scene of horrors having no happy side.
Year by year as the power and in
fluence of the American republic grows
greater, loyal citizens can be all the
more thankful to the men who were
ready to suffer and die that slavery be
abolished and the union preserved.
