GRAND LODGE
Nearly a Thousand Delegates and
Friends Expected This Week.
About Tkrce Hmdred Ccjpmat, Crsid

the City Lt Night k Great
Scarcity of Hoon.
The number of delegate to the grand
lodg proper of Odd Fellow of the
stale of Oregon expected here In at
tendance upon the meeting of 1300, 1
Z7&. In addition to the grand lodge
dclcgatce proper, there will be dele
gates to tho encampment and the
Daughter of Debtkah grand lodge,
making the total of the official vlaltor
about 600 In number.
Nearly every delegate will be ac
companied by one or more person who
coma merely a visitor to enjoy the
trip. Add the accompanying friend
to the delegate and the total number
of visitor' to be entertained by Aatorltt
for three day will be close to a thous
and people.
The steamboat Ca-trcrt from Port
land lurft evening brought 8 accredited
delegate from Kastern Oregon town
and cities. They were accompanied by
over fifty friends, wive, daughters
and relatives of delegates, making the
total arrival by the one boat about
liO people that the local Odd Fellow
had to provide wilh lodging, etc.
Th.' Portland train urn night brought
ioo additional delegate and their
frh nd and till morning It I expect
ed fully as muny more will arrive by
a special boat and the regular train.
The regulur boat and train tonight
will lund the balance of the thousand
expected visitors In the city.
The reception committee of the local
Odd Fellows are working harder than
they had ever worked before In trying
to hml rooms for the accommodation of
the visitors. They neel fully fifty
rooms yet and they need them today,
lillxcna who have rooms they will rent
or who are willing to entertain two
or more of the visitors at their home,
for lodging only, will confer a great
favor on the Astoria Odd Fellow by
notifying either James W. Welch, Dr.
Hull or leaving word at Schelbe' ci
gar store early this morning.
The visiting Odd Fellows will be in
Astoria al least thrte. and It maybe
four days. Today the encampment
will hold It grand lodge and the
Daughters of Uebekah will also meet
On Wednesday and Thursday the
grard lodge of Odd Fellows will be
held, the Uebekah probably being In
session at the same time. The offi
cers of the grand lodge are: Grand
muster. J. IC Weathford, of Albany;
deputy grand master, James W. Welch,
of Astoria; grand secretary, E. E.
Sharon, cf Pertlund; grand treasurer,
R. E. Miller, of Portland.
On Wednesday night the Odd Fel
low of Astoria will give the victor
an entertainment and dance at Foard
A S-.okes' hall. This, so far as known,
vflll be the only public entertainment
for the visitors. It waa hoped that
citizens, through the chamber of com
merce and Push club, would provide
one or more excursions for the visi
tors during their stay, but there seem
to be no desire upon the part of the
members of the bodies named to take
up the matter and the Odd Fellows
decline to go out and solicit funds
to carry out uch a program, believing
the citizens should take enough Inter
est In the coming of Uie visitors to
help entertain them. It la not too late
for the cllUens to act yet. A seaside
excursion would not cost much and
would be greatly enjoyed.
ROUND TO BE A BIG FOURTH.
Committee on Finance Meeta With
Great Success Everybody Will
lng to Give Something
What Wise
Says.
The report that the committee hav
ing In churge the Fourth of July cele
bration made Inst night was one of the
most encouraging ever made In this
city by a band of business men try
ing to work up funds and Interest In
a public celebration.
Herman Wise made the report and
It was as follows:
"It may be because times are better
In Astcrla, or because the people, feel
DOIVT BELIEVE
the Cappers Tell You
are paid lor their dirty work.
Hi.
THE RELIABLE
cent. In
that th committee Is on that will
give them a 'run for their money,' but
whatever tha cause, nearly every one
approached so far haa com down
handsomely,
"In le than an hour one section of
the committee had over ii'f) on It list;
so there can be no doubt now of a
great celebration.
Let no one say after this that As
torlan ar:: close, because there Isn't
a town In the country, of It size,
where people put up their money more
cheerfully for a worthy enterprise.
All the people ask In return I that
they get their inoney'a worth.
"Chief Mullock ha kindly volunteer
ed to secure several contestant for a
log roiling match and we have ether
thing In view never mentioned on the
program.
At Its next meeting the committee In
tends to appoint a sub-committee of
good river men to place a grand light
marine parad?,,
Mr. McAllen, with his characteristic
foresight, wrote to Henator Blmon a
short time ago, inviting hi co-operation
In securing a warship at Asto
ria for the Fourth and today bis ef
fort Were rewarded with a letter from
the senator In which he promises to do
all in his power to that end.
If suillclent funds are raised, the
committee will arrange a program for
two dus. so that rti crowds may be
entertained on the 3rd and have the
big events on the 4th.
In the matter of raising fund the
school children will probably be given
an opportunity to contribute. In East
ern cities the plan has been for the
children in each room of a grammer
school to arrange an entertainment to
which ihey charge an admission of
from Ave to twenty-five cents. The
program consists entirely of exercises,
songs, Hug drills, speeches, etc.. all
pertaining to the Nation's birthday
celebration- I5y giving these exhibi
tion the children have not only been
taught patriotism and made to under
stand what the celebration cf the
Fourth of July really means to a true
American citizen, but they have added
hundreds of dollars to the fund for the
general celebration of the day. And,
strange to say, the klndergurten have
the credit of turning in the most mon
ey. In Fall River. Mass., the kinder
gartens thre turned In nearly $1,(00
to the Fourth of July fund, every cent
of It raised by tot of from four to
eixht yeats of age.
Bo far as the citizens are concerned
the committee d.':es not expect a man
to mortgage his house in order to con
tribute to the fund. '"If you can't give
big. give as big as you can, but give,"
said Josh Billings when he discussed
the Glorious Fourth.
SICK AND TIRED OF LIFE.
Urenham Sweeney, a Young Man Liv
ing Near Ilwaco, Commits Suicide
to End His Misery.
While In a fit of despondency, caus
ed by the recent death of his father,
and the knowledge that he was a vic
tim to be sacrificed by a lingering
death to consumption, Brenham Swee
ney shot himself through the heart
with a shotgun Sunday morning at 11
o'clock, at his home near Ilwaco.
Sweeney was a young man 26 year
of age. He had lived In Pacific county
all his life and was quite well known
In this city- His mother died of con
sumption, as did also five of his sis-"
ters. and about a year ago the taint
of the hereditary disease began to
show- itself in him. From the first he
felt there waa no hope and grew
steadily worse, day after day. until he
realized that he could live only a few
months longer at the most.
Despondent over his own condition
and sorrowing over the dtath of his
father, to whom he was much attach
ed. Sweeney, on Sunday morning, went
to his room and loading his shot gun,
placed the muzzle against his heart
and pushed the trigger with his foot.
Death was instantaneous. So far as
known Sweeney left no messages to
either friends or relatives.
An Inquest will probably be held over
the remains.
THE NEXT VICE-PRESIDENT.
This Is the question now agitating
the minds of our leading- politicians,
and while several prominent men have
been suggested, the final selection will
undoubtedly be the man who will serve
the party Interests to the best ad
vantage. This Is also true- of medi
cine. When your stomach becomes
weak and you suffer from dyspepsia,
indigestion, constipation and flatulency.
or when in need of a medicine to
build up your system and restore your
appetite, you will make no mistake If
, you try that sovereign remedy, Hostet-
i ter's Stomach Bitters. It is backed
up by fifty years of cures, and Is rec-
' ommended by many prominent physicians-
It Is also an excellent medi-
I cine for malaria, fever and ague, and
can be had of any druggist. Be sure
to give it a trial.

FISHERMEN ARRESTED. !
Were Fishing Without Having Paid
the State License Two of the
Prisoners Escape but Are
Recaptured.
The police patrol established on the
river by Fish Commissioned Reed,
' made It first haul yesterday. Four
j unlicensed boats, with two men In each
I boat, were seized and brought Into
port. One of the boats belongs to San
born's cannery; another to the com
bine and the other two were owned
by the men who were working them.
The arrest was made by Deputy Fish
Commissioner Loughery.
When Deputy Commissioner Lough
ery arrived In port with his four tap
lured boats and his eight prisoner.
he found a crowd awaiting him at
' the docks, the news of the arrests
having been brought ashore by a half
dozen swift sailing boats. Aa the
deputy started to push bis 'way
through the crowd, his prisoner fol
lowing him, two of the latter broke
away and ran. The officer made no
attempt to re-capture the men at the
time but later on re-arresiei both of
them and they may have to pay dearly
for their breach of promise to the
off cer to quietly submit to arrest.
The six fishermen, whose names
could not be learned, were taken to the
court of Justice of the Peace Brower
and Informed of the charge against
them, which was violating a state law
by fishing without a license. At first
the fishermen were disposed to regard
their arrest in the light of a Joke, but
when they learned that It would cost
them $3.50 each to release their boats
and nets the lowest fine permissi
ble under the law being 130, and the
license, which they should have paid,
being $3.50-the arrests did not appear
so much of a Joke.
The arrests were due n a large meas
ure to information furnished Deputy
Loughery by fishermen who had paid
their license and insisted that all oth
er fishermen should do the same. The
fishermen ere against the license law
almost to a man, but those who believe
in being law abiding citiiens are de
termined that every man who fishes In
the Columbia shall pay for the privi

EIO RALLY AT CHADWELL.
Citizens at Lewis and Clark Greet
the Republican Candidates.
The republican rally at Chad well
lust night was successful far beyond
the expectations of those who had tha
affair in charge. As a matter of fact,
it was more of a popular gathering of
interested citizens than a political
meeting, for fully nine-tenths of tha
voter In the precinct were present
as well as voters from all parts of tha
Lewis and Clark district.
The Astoria party composed of can
didates, speakers and party enthus
iastsleft thia city In a gasoline
launch, arriving at Chadwell shortly
before the opening hour or the meet
ing. The speakers of the evening were C.
G. Fulton, Judge Taylor and Prof. 3.
C. McCue-
The Astoria visitors' state that the
people of Chadwell are giving evidence
of much hearty enthusiasm and that
the big republican vote of former years
will be largely increased at the com
ing election. The impression was free
ly expressed., they say, that the Chad
well people are satisfied that the lost
county administration was the most
economical in Clatsop's history ami
that they are not looking for a change
to officers without party, platform or
responsibility.
RATS GROWING VALUABLE.
Ten Cents Bounty to Be Paid for
Their Extermination In Astoria.
The city council has decided to ex
tend the period for the payment of a
bounty on rats and the new order will
take effect today.
The old bounty of five cents per heal
will be paid today, but it Is under
stood that arrangements will at once
be made whereby this sum will be In
creased to ten cents per head. The
extra amount of bounty to be paid, it
is understood, will be made up by pri
vate subscription, the period of its
payment to be determined before the
sum is exhausted.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the council last night by
Dr. August Kinney, who urged that
Immediate action be taken, owing to
the renewed outbreak of the plague In
San Francisco.
