And now, Mr.. Editor, as to your
little spiel about the HiIda team in last
weeks issue. I wish to say that was
awfully busy getting ready for the pic:
mic. Hilda proposes to be manly in
all things and shall always be ready to
acknowledge defeat, as we do in this
case. But remember that if your
printing press should lose FIVE or six
cogs you would lose out. That was
just the fix of the Hilda team. Five
of our best players were out and we
went down to defeat.

The Peacock Case

The Astorian was in possession Of
the following facts on Friday even
ing last. but hesitated to publish them
for the reason that they lacked the
confirmation essential to so grave a
story; but yesterday, that proof was
forthcoming, and the matter made
manifest in reguar fashion. Judge
Rice, sitting at Cathlamet, on Friday,
dismissed the motion for change 81
venue and a new trial in the case of
the State of Washington versus Dr..
Frederick Peacock, in the Longtaine
matter. and sentenced the doctor TO
serve an indeterminate sentence in
the penitentiary of from one to 20
years. From this sentence Doctor
Peacocks attorneys at once gave no
tice of appeal to the supreme court
of that state, and his bond, pending
appeal. was fixed at $5OO0 which it is
said will be promptly made BY to-
morrow.

An Unpleasant Story

There are some very ugly rumors
extant in this city in connection
with F D. Finch, the architect, who
appeared on this scene about one
year ago and opened up an Office in
the Astoria Savings Bank building,
where he gradually built up quite a
clientele. 1t is said that he has skip
ped the city, leaving personal debts
in the city and vicinity aggregating
nearly or quite, $1,000 and that he
has abandoned his present wife, form
erly a Mrs. Minnie Potter Of this
city, to whom he was married about
six months ago, and that his sudden
exodus was inspired by the arrival
in this city a few days ago, OF his
first, and undivorced, wife, who IS
still here, The story is an unpleas-
ant one, and rather rare one in
this community. Later il was stated
there is probably no foundation to
the rumor about woman appearing
on the scene,

Gordon West, Of Record

Hon Oswald West Of the Oregon
Board Of Railway Commissioners, az.
rived in the city on the noon train
yesterday, to join his conieres in
the inquiry instituted by Alexander
Gilbert, OF Seaside. at the Chamber
Of Commerce, and il was noticed by
his friends that he was in a peculiar
" happy frame OF mind; after hard
and urgent pressing, he confessed.
with his usual shy and modest mien,
that he was the daddy Of newborn
son, and that the youngster had been
started in life with the buoyant inn
petus derivable from the name of
Gordon, after Astoria's honored
banker s. S. Gordon. Upon receipt
of the cordial congratulations OF his
many friends here, his agitation sub.
sided sufficiently for him to go on
the board and transact business as
usual.

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 a place where
these varying attitudes may be fos-
tered, at 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 to
this, is the Palace Restaurant, just
opposite the Page building, on Com
mercial street, in this city. Try t
once, and patronize it always; that is
the rule of the Palace,

TAKES HIS OWN LIFE
TO END SUFFERING
THOMAS SoRKKI OF ALDER
BROOK DRINKS NITRIC
ACID.

Thomas Sorkki, who died at his
home in Alderbrook Friday night
committed suicide by taking nitric
acid.
Last Christmas SorkIi was injured
about the head in an accident, and
since then he had apparently not
been in his right mind at times, and it
is presumed he took this life to end
his sufferings.
Friday afternoon he drank some
nitric acid which he had procured at
one Of the canneries and died few
hours later, and while physician
was called he was too late to render
any assistance. 1t is stated that the
dying man was revived sufficiently
to tell the physician what he hal
done, Yesterday the matter was re-
ported to the authorities, but as the
cause OF death IS apparently clear
there will be no inquest.
Much sympathy is felt for the un
fortunate man. He was a Finn By
BIRTH and was married. His widow
survives him, but no children He
was 46 years of age. Sorkki was 4
member of the Finnish Brotherhood
and the funeral will be held this af-
ternoon.

To Move From Office

It is announced that the question
of Martin Foard's right to continue
as member of the board of police
commissioners has been examined
into by several during the past few
weeks, and also that there is a prob
ability that a motion will be introduc-
ed in the common council at its
meeting tomorrow night to declare
the Office vacant. The ground upon
which that the Office is alleged to be
vacant is that Mr.. Foard has lost his
residence here; or rather, that he has
by his acts voluntarily given it up.
1t is said that Mr.. Foard, for ex-
ample, took out a non.resident's card
from the Irving Club when he left
town. II is known that Councilman
Curtis has been requested to intro
duce such a motion.
