" "Who Is Who" Is this S'-uson presented by Pusey and Ht. John and a company numbering twen-ly-lwo of the best farce comedy cele brities. We are promised everything that Is new and up-to-date In the lin t of vsudvllle trimmings. The motive of the plot Is furnished by the fact that a lawyer named llarllsnd thinks he needs a partner. So ho Invents one, 'laming him Nemo. In the prog ress of the piece lie Is accused of the murd-r of Nemo, and, as he cannot produce him, things look dubious for a while. From this, spring all the ridiculous complications, The produc tion Is eiUlipec with heuutlful cos tumes and new and elaborate scenic embellishments. Scat sules open to morrow morning. TO FIOIIT TIIK RATS. City Hoard of Health to Recommend liounty to Council. Thi. city board of health, acting on the advice of leading physicians of this city, hua decided t, recommend to th . city council a proposition to pay a bounty of about 2 cents on each rat killed within (he city limits to the end that tho plague may he prevented In Astoria. It hue bwn deemed Important that aggressive steps bo taken In this di rection at once and It Is believed that the city council will endorse the propo sition to be submitted by the health board. There Is no doubt, however, that a decided opinion prevails among mem bers of the board of health, as well as among physlcluns In this city, thai the expense of the necessury steps to be tiiketi to prevent the appearance of the pi tguo in this, as well us the other ports on the Pacific const, where ves sels from the Orient are arriving, should be provided for by the federal government. It is argued that the country at large Is Interested In the prevention of all possibilities of the In troduction of the bubonic plague Into the t'nlted States to an extent equal to that of the ports of entry. Inasmuch as It would very shortly reach the Interior from points along the coust. In an litrvlew with City Physician Henderson yesterday, concerning the best means of disposing of the rodents, the doctor ssld, beyond all ciuestlon, traps would lie the best means to be employed. Next to mechanical contri vances, said !r. Henderson, rough on rats is believed to be the best means of destroying tho pests. Rough on rats Is preferable to strychnine and other poison In-cuuse rats, as soon as they have partaken of It, will Invariably rush for water which they must usu ally seek In the gutters or other places outside of buildings. In tho case of strychnine being used, the rodents us ually retire to some obscure corner of the building and dlo.'' "Astoria, however, is peculiarly blessed in this connection," suld Dr. Henderson. "The natural conditions here make Astoria' practically unten able for the rats because, in the main portion of the city, they cannot burrow into the earth; and rats and other rodents will Invariably seek places where they can dig Into the ground." Pr. Henderson states that since the Issuance of the notice recently given out by the health authorities and num erous physicians the people of Astoria huve done much in the direction of exterminating the rats and it lias now- grown to be quite the thing to see who can report the largest captures. WILL MEET TONIGHT. Amateur Athletic Club to Effect Per manent Organisation. President Fulton, of the Astoria Am ateur Athletic Club, has Issued a call for a meeting of the new club, to take place at the court house at 8 o'clock this evening. All those who have sign ed the membership roll are requested to be in uttendance at the appointed hour. Among the mutters to be acted upon tonight will be the election of ofllcers. Mr. Fulton will undoubtedly be named for the otllce of president. The other otllcers to be elected are vice president, secretary, treasurer and a board of directors. While the number of members se cured Is not quite as great i.s had been hoped, those on the roll are all reliable persons, who can be counted on to give their support to the club. There Is every reason to believe that the new organisation will be most suc cessful. TO PERPETUATE HIS MEMORY. A Costly Monument to Re Erected Over the Grave of the Lute 8herlft Williams. Tho Red Men have taken definite action upon the proposed erection of a monument to perpetuate the memory of their late brother, the late Sheriff J. W. Williams, who came to such an untimely end at the hands of the desperado, Wlllard, at Seaside, a year ago. Money to the amount of $400 has al- e.r'.OtlTS. No soap in the world is so cheap.

The water commission met last night In regular monthly scsrdon and transacted business of a purely rou tine nature. It was expected that some action would be taken relative to the rates now being charged the local canneries and saw-mills but the committee to which the matter had been referred was not irady to report and action was deferred till the next regular meeting. The action Intend ed to have been taken In this connec tion was in relation to the substitution of the metre system instead of fixed c-hurges, which have been in force In the past with the tanneries and raw mills. A request was received from house holders residing on Alumedu avenue that the water mains be extended 250 feet Into the street. The commission ers agreed to make the extension pro vided the petitioners paid a year's as sessment in advance. This action was taken because of the impression that not a sufficient number of the resi dents of the district would take water continuously In order that the extra expense' Involved by the extension could be Justified. Current bills to the amount of J37.3S. In addition to the regular monthly pay-roll, were ordered paid. The action of Superintendent Shield? In appointing Richard Humphreys a gate-keeper nt the power house, to succeed Peter Slevere, deceased, was approved. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS. Total Number of Names on the Roll to Date.

The thought of exiled Russian crim inals clanging their way ever the snows of the Siberian plains to a life of terrible desolation, is one of horror. It is now rumored that the barbarous custom is to be abolished, and that Siberia, which Is really a fertile coun try, Is to be cultivated. This news will be welcomed as Joyfully by the far away convicts as is the fact by exiles of health, that Hostetter's Stom ach Bitters cures dyspepsia. Other so called remedies claim to cure. That is all. The Bitters not only claims to cure, but has done so for fifty years. It cures Indigestion, constipation, bil iousness, malaria, fever and ague, liver and kidney troubles. It is the beet rr.edlcine in the world for this time of the year. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. United States to Stephen Scovell, W) acres in section 23, T i N, It 10 W; patent.
