Beveral native born Austrtana In Aa torla called at the Astorlan editorial rooms yi'Nterdny to explain why It r.aa that the local Austrian colony permit ted "Austrian Oeorg," the pioneer fisherman, who died at the county hos pital, to be burled In uiiit's field. They say that yenrs airi, "Austrian Grortcfl" was guilty of the commission of a rrlme In California of so revolt' Ing a nature that his family lft him and his countrymen ostracised him. It was quirt along the river yester day. The wind storm of the pust two days has kept ssfe ind snug at home all the small craft that was not com pelled to face the blow and the "mos qultos" hav ing semi-regular trips stay ed at home, too. The bar has been fearfully rough but fortunately there Is only one ship lying off outside. The fishing boats that were out yemerday afternoon got a buffeting that they did not count on but as the owners had the boats out to try them, they couldn't have hail ' rpore serviceable weather for that purpose. No acci dents were reported. Attention la railed to the advertise ment of Herman Wise In this Issue. Mr. Wise has lately returned from Kail Franclmro, where he obtained some bargains In the latest styles of men's, youths' and boys' clothing, hats and furnishing goods, which he proposes to give his customers the benefit of. Mr. Wis haa been a long time In As toria and has well earned, by his fair dealing with the people, the title of "reliable," glevn to him by general ac ceptance among the thousands who have been his patrons In the past. Readers of the Astorlan will make no mistake in giving Mr. Wise's stock an examination when needing any class of goods carried In his extensive line. The announcement made in the News last night that the alleys were to be 1 opened by Kcnney ft Ortbler was an error. The firm named has no connection whatever with the Institu tion. Mr. Mathena haa entered Into the venture uon the request of a large number of the moat prominent mem bers of the old athletic club, who are lost without their old-time pastime piivltege. Mr. Ma'.hena alone as sumes the entire responsibility of the undertaking. Thd bowling alley was re-opened lust night by Clarence J. Mathana who will give the lovers of the game a chance to play In thj future. The closing of the alleys waa a serious disappoint ment to a number of gentlemen whose only form of exercise Is bowling and the reopening w 111 be good news. HELD A CONVENTION. People's Party of the County Meets and Elects Delegates A Remark ably Quiet Session. Outside of the delegates themselves. and probably a score of people residing In the Immediate vicinity of the Fish ermen's Union hall, there was no one lu Astoria aware of the fact yesterday that the people's party of Clatsop county were holding a convention. The convention was held In the hall named and waa very sllmly attended. The only business transacted was the selection of the following delegates to attend the state convention of the party to be held In Portland on April 11. The delegates are B. 8mlth, N. J. Svlndseth, H. S. Lyman. Oscar Tiber. J. N. Heckard, H. M. Lorntsen and C. 8. Dow. The outcome of the "convention" really amounted to nothing more than an agreement to furnish the tail for the cltlrens' kite, whatever It may de velop to be. As a matter of fact, it waa well understood and generally known that the populists would stand behind the cltliens in whatever un derstanding they might arrived at and consequently, their convention today was notably devoid of the efferves cent soda and vinegar which has char acterised their meetings In the past. PASSINO OF YELLOWSTONE: PARK It Is stated upon good authority that the geysers which have made Yellow stone Park famous are gradually de clining. Spots once the scene of ex traordinary phenomena are now cov ered by buildings, showing that na ture's work has become exhausted. TourlBts who have never visited the park are advised to do so soon, before they have passed forever.

"We, the republicans of Clatsop county.ln convention assembled. feeling Justly proud of the matchless achieve ments and the record of our party and republican rule In the past, appealing to the history of our great nation for the hearty support of ail intelligent voters, make declaration of our prin ciples: "We emphatically endorse the intel ligent and patriotic administration of President William McKlnley, and In support thereof point with pride to the continuous prosperity of our people In various avocations of life. "The republican party is, and at all times has been, unreservedly for sound mony, and Is unalterably opposed to every measure calculated to debase our currency or Impair, the credit of our "country. In a wonf, we are unre servedly In favor of the gold standard as enacted Into law by the present re publican congress and congratulate the people upon the fact that these great principles are enacted . Into existing law "We believe that our county affairs should he economically and Judicious ly administered; that every unneces sary Item of expense must be eradicat ed: that our taxes must be reduced to a minimum, taking Into consideration the needs and requirements of our county. And we pledge our nominees to tho most strict economy In the ad ministration of the county's affairs. ' The cause of humanity will be in debted to the present administration and particularly to the American sol diers and sailors who willingly aban doned their homes and firesides and took up the cause of humanity In the bloody battlefields of Cuba and the Philippines, and we believe that the flag that was planted over the dead bodies of American soldiers and sail ors at the gateway of the Orient should not be hauled down. We congratulate the soldier boys from Oregon for their splendid achievements and the match less record they made on the fields of many a hard-won battle. "We recognise that there is a great need at the present time for good county roads leading from the city of Astoria to the outlying portions of the county, and the construction of the same will be of great benefit, not only to the people residing outside the lim its of Astoria, but to the Inhabitants of the city. We hereby pledge our nominees for the legislature and also our other nominees to use every hon est effort within their, power to give to the people of Clatsop county the much-needed roads, and to endeavor to have enacted Into laws bills looking to the general Improvement of the present system of county road laws, and wo call upon the cltlsens of Clat sop county, irrespective of political faith, to audet in giving to the farmers county roads which will ensure them a market for their products." CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS. The republican county convention met In this city yesterday und nomi nated one of the strongest legislative and county tickets ever chosen to rep resent the party. The deliberations of the convention were harmonious throughout, many of the more import ant nominations having teen declared by the secretary being instructed to cast the ballot. Neat ly all of the pres ent county officers were renominated, the delegates generally agreeing that the present county administration Is ono of the most competent and eco nomical since the organisation of Clatsop county. TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION. The convention was called to order by W. F. McGregor, chairman of the county central committee, shortly be fore 11 o'clock. Two candidates were named for temporary chairman F. P. Kendall and Robert A. Abbott, the lat ter of C'latsoD. Mr. Kendall waa tha choice of the city delegates and Mr. Abbott of the country delegates.

Vesper being the only precinct not regularly represent d. The recommendation of the commit tee on order of business that the tem porary officers be declared the perma nent officers of the convention was adopted. The recommendation that a committee be appointed to select dele gates to the state and congressional conventions was als favorably acted upon, the appointments being as fol lows: 11. D. Thing, F. L.

The delegates to the state convention were Instruct ed to support. In district caucus, Har rison Allen for district attorney "first, Inst and all the time." Another mo tion was subsequently made that each member of the delegation constitute himself a committee of one to do all within his power to have the other county delegations throughout the dis trict to fall Into line in support of Mr. Allen. Both motions were heartily ap proved by all present. THE NOMINATIONS. After the preliminary arrangements had been disposed of, the chairman called for nominations for two repre sentatives in the state legislature. The first nomination was tr.at of Jo han E. Young, which was made by John C. MeCue. Professor McCue stated that he came before the conven tion as a young man espousing the cause of a young man. There had been some criticism, he said, from various sources, of the appearance of the young mnn in politics in this county, but he could see no reason why younf, men should be excluded from any of the offices which the people could bestow. The history of events, he said, had proven beyond a doubt that the vigor of youth had cut an Important figure In the course of human and political events. He supported the well-grounded theory that an old fool was the most dangerous kind of a fool, and conclud ed with an eloquent endorsement of Mr. Young's past career and an argu ment In behalf of young blood among those in the list of candidates. C. W. Fulton then took the floor to nominate F. R. Stokes. Mr. Stokes, he Bald, was a man who had made a great success in his private affairs and gave every evidence of a man of excellent ability. He had always been active and enthusiastic In public mat ters pertaining to the city, county and state und was, therefore, one of the most substantial men that could be named for the office. Mr. Fulton took occasion to state that the intimation had been passed that Mr. Stokes waa a democrat. "Mr. Stokes was, at one time a mem ber of the democratic party," Bald Mr. Fulton, "but a long time ago he saw the error of his way and came over to the respectable society of the republican party." R. A. Abbott of Seaside arose to nominate "a man who was always a republican, and who would make a most popular candidate, not only with the republicans, but with the people at large James W. Welch." Mr. Welch declined. The nomination of C. J. Curtis fol lowed. The name of F. M. Warren was also placed before the convention, and no further nominations appearing to be on tap, a vote was called. Just prior to the polling of the vote, Mr. (Continued on pa t) THE LIGHTEST STORE W ASTORIA jUlj!a (Eracfe Our Spring Stock cf filen's and Boys' Clothing comprises the choicest productions of both Eastern and 'Frisco rnarkf-ta.
