Superintendent of Bchools Lee went to Nehnlem on Saturday last and on the afternoon and evening of .that day held a teachers' Institute at Jewell. The Institute was well attended. The afternoon session was devoted to a dis cussion of school work and In the evening there were recitations and a lecture by Superintendent Lee on the subject of "Education from a Scien tific Standpoint."

Jcputy Fish Commissioners Laugh ery and Baldwin arrested two fisher men named Charles Utlnen and Charles Carlson yesterday morning near the end of the Jetty for fishing without a Ilccns3 and violating the law requiring each boat to be numbered. When they were brought before Justice Grower, Utlnon produced his license but plead ed Ignorunce as an excuse for not havlng , his boat properly numbered. Carlson not only fulled to produce a license but was found not to be a clt Ixen. He was fined 150. Carlson de clared that he would take out citizen ship papsrs without delay and then procuro the necessary llccnso, upon which representation he was allowed to g( and was granted time In which to pay his fine. On Tuesday next "The Real Widow Brown" Company will be the attrac tion at " Fisher's opera house. The comedy Is replete with fun, fast and furious, and Is greeted with bursts of applause and merriment everywhere.

He Is assisted by a lively young girl with whom he Is In love; while another pair of lovers are working In the some Pears' soap responds to wa ter instantly; washes and rinses off in a twinkling. cause, each pair unaware of what the other Is up to, making complications Innumerable, and funny In the ex trcrne.

Special attention hn been glvsn to the selection of ar tist for Ul company, which include many well-known favorite.

Now that It has been ascertained beyond all possibility of doubt that the bubonic plague actual ly exists in the Chinese district of San I'ranclsco, the wisdom of the precau tions taken by the Astoria authorities to prevent It appearance in this city grows more and more apparent. When the council first decided to pay a bounty of five cents for rats no small amount of fun was poked at the au thorities for Ou-lr action. Even fne Portland papers, which should rave been among the first to propose and endorse such a step, lost no oppor nlty to ridicule the spirit of apprehen hensin and the disposition to act evinc ed by the Astoria health authorities and common council. It developes that It Is now Astoria's turn' to laugh, while Portland wear the Jlngle-cap and the rottlo. for this city is practically free from the rodents, whlcji the highest authorities declare to be the most dangerous disseminators of Infectious disease. Portland Is, by far, more ex loied to infection from the bubonic plnjiue than 1 Astoria for a majority of the ocean vesieii entering the Co lumbta river first touch a wharf at that place. '.Vhllj It is true that all Oriental vessels are fumigated here before going to Tortland the complete destruction of the rats is by ho means a certainty. Astoria Is still offering a bounty uud will probably continue to do so until all the rodents are ex terminated upon the sound theory tliat an ounce of prevention Is worth, tons of cure. DECIDE WOMEN SHOULD . VOTE. Interesting Debate and Social Given by the W. C. T. U. Last Evening. The ladles of the W. c. T. U. gave a most enjoyable social at their hall lait evening. The evening's program was opened with a debate on woman's suffrage which was decided In favor of th women. Miss Emma .Warren and Miss Mary Whldby sustained the suffrage contention, A. R. Cyrus and Carl Hansen opposing. The Judges were Wm. Ross. C. R. Thomson and Mrs. Wm. Kinney. A musical program followed after which an amusing drama on "Wo man's Rights" was rendered by the Misses Incs Crane, Susie Cawklns, Gor tie Graham and Alice Halfcrty, and Roy Tracy, Frank Cllne and Vivian Llnd, all of Warrenton. Refreshments were then served free of charge to all those present. REPUBLICAN ' MEETINGS.

Some of tbe Hop-Scotchers' Claims Men Who Desirt Their Party Lose tbeConfidence of the People Trylnr All Sorts of Doifes. It I no matter lo what party on be lorfs, If he become Identified with that party, work for It, vote with It, he lose the respect of his fellow men when he deliberately deserts that par ty, donles its principles and Its plat form for private gain. It Is no matter by what name he calls his desertion, whether fusion or by some of the harsher epithets applied to a deserter from a party standard, he Is looked. pjMin by his fellow citizens, although they may say nothing-, exactly as a man who desert! hi reg-Iment or ship Is looked upon by his conifadts in the army or navy, and how detestable a deserter I to the government 1 shown by the everity of the punish ment prescribed for that crime. Just hat excuse, If any, John Hahn offers for di-sertlns; the republican par ty Is not known, but whatever it Is, it will have little weltcht with the voters. Loyalty Is the first requisite of a Kood citizen. That, and the willingness to olx-y the rule of the majority, are ri-commendutiotis that ico a long; ways with the voter In securing his support. No matter how excellent Mr. Hahn's Private character, that has nothing to do with his duties as a public ofllce holder. Does Mr. Hahn, and the men who have coaxed him Into the false position he occupies on the hop-scotchers' tick et think they ran delude republicans to bt-lleve that should he be elected, he will go to the legislature and throw down the men who put him up to run and support republican men and meas ures? No so. John Hahn, should be be elected, will go to the legislature and faithfully serve the hop-scotchers. Having deserted the republican party, he will remain aloof and will aid the hop-scotchers In their every scheme. Let no republican be fooled. But bad a was John Hahn's deser tion, seemingly to gratify personal opinion, the desertion of Fred Wick man waa worse. AVlckman went be fore the republican convention wanting a certain ofllce. He was not thought fit by a majority of the delegates, to flit the place to wJiich he aspired, but was given another place on the ticket. one which he was only too glad to take two years ago. Angry at being refused what he demanded, he desert ed the party with which he had long been Identified and which had reward ed him, and has the cheek to go to the voters and ask them to applaud his conduct In becoming a deserter by vot ing for htm. Of all the offices in the county the people should be most care ful of their selection of a sheriff. That officer has at times almost unlimited power which he can exercise rightfully or wrongfully, for a little while, at least, as he may see fit. The people do not want to put their liberty or property, or It even may be their lives, in the hands of a man whose only qualification Is that he deserted his party because he could not run It for his own advantage and thus proved alike his want of gratitude and sta bility as a man among men. But if voters have no use for men like Hahn and Wlckman, who deserted from one party only, what must they think of a man like Billy Pohl, who deserted from three parties In less than a week and then broke his word pledged to a friend, in his mad scramble to hold on to the ofllce of coroner. Pohl Is a political outcast that has no where to lay his head. He deserted from the republicans and became re converted to democracy. Then he deserted the democrats and went over to the so-called "cltlsens" and when even that Illegal body repudiated him, he came out as an independent after having pledged his word to Charles Mathena that he would not run as an Independent If he, Mathena, beat him for the nomination. Surely Pohl can espect no voter to have any confi dence in him or support him. His con duct shows that he is determined to have the ofllce if he can get it, even at the sacrifice of political honor and his pledged word as a man. He has all along claimed the ofllce of coroner pays nothing. If this be true what Is the secret of his anxiety to secure It, and why is It that he is willing to act as he has done for an ofllce that on ly brings work and no pay? Such statements do not help Pohl. Nobody believes them. He is a "dead duck" politically, and he should be. , What hurts the hop-scotchers in this campaign is the absolute unreliability of their so-called ticket. There Is ab solutely nothing and nobody behind them nobody to vouch for them, ex cept themselves, and It would be a chump who would not promise any thing to get Into ofllce, If the ofllce whs all he wanted. Men running for public ofllce represent. If they are anx ious to serve their country and their fellow men, some set of principles that are the avowed platform of a great party. They are not supposed to be running for office solely for the sake of what they can make out of it. Every publio officer should be well paid by the taxpayers for hi services. The laborer Is worthy of his hire, if he Is a conscientious laborer and does his work, hut public officers are suppos ed, to have something else at stake In se.-klnK public office and in discharging their duties If elected. They want the resncct, confident and applause of their Mlow citizens ss well as the sal ary attached in the office. But the Jop-scotchers are out for office they on't and can't claim anything else. They are not representing anything or anybody but themselves. Let voters remember this. Let them remember that If they elect the hop-scotchers and anything goes wrong, they can blame no one but themsHves. They are supporting political shadows, when they support the hop-scotchers. Will- o-the-wisps that flit J" there and, everywhere. . Lyman is trying to beat Lee for echoi"1 superintendent by using the sympathy flodge. It won't do. That sort of thing Is played out Taxpayers want effective, active, energetic, and above ell, loyal men in office. Mr. Lyman 1 also urging that It makes no difference so far as school children are concerned Whether he thinks :he Filipino guerilla Arulnaldo a hero, as be does, or wheth er he wants to s-.-fid hfiri old and com fort. But it does make a difference to loyal Americans, Mr. Lyman, and, as you will find, makes a big difference. There are enough brave, patriotic, loyal Americans to fill the public offices with out electing men to office who sympa thize with savages who are ambushing and slaughtering our soldiers and who keep up th.'ir murderous warfare elm ply because men like Mr, Lyman send theni greeting and words of encour agement. "Little pitchers have big ears" Is an old adage. Do you suppose that the school children have not heard of Mr. Lyman placing Agulnaldo on a footing with Washington, Lincoln, Grant and other hero?s? Of course they have. And what are you, voter, going to say to your boy when he comes at you about like this: "Papa, Is Agulnaldo a bad man?" "Tea. my boy." "Is he as good as George Washington?" "Why, certainly not, child. He Is an enemy, not a friend, of our country. He is trying to kill our soldiers." "But. papa, Mr. Lyman, our school super intendent, said Agulnaldo was as good as Washington, didn't he " "He was w rong my boy." "Well, then, papa, what made them elect him?" There it Is for you. Why should tbe voters honor a man who dishonors the flag by giving aid and comfort to our ene mies? Say, you voters out In the country, who do not belong to tbe republican party, look here tell us how you like the way the democrats and so-called "citizens" treated you In selecting their hop-scotch ticket? Was there a single precinct consulted outside of Astoria? Was a single precinct outside of As toria (or inside either, for that mat ter) represented in the so-called "citl sens" convention by regularly chosen delegates? Did you have any warning of what was going to be done? Is It not a fact that a few people, only 55 all told, were gathered up off the streets of Astoria one afternoon and that they made up a so-called "cltl sens" ticket without ever consulting the country voters or trying to find out who the voters at large wanted as nominees? Just think these questions over and answer them to yourselves when the hop-scotchers ask fur your vote. It is any wonder the law re fused to recognise such a convention as a "citizens" convention? Is It any wonder that a ticket nominated In such a hap-haiard manner was refus ed by the law a place on th ballot or even a name? Are you a law abid ing; citizen? If you are, why should you lend your support to a hap-has- ard, nameless, partyless, platformless conglomeration of nominees when the law has declared their nominations Il legal? Investigate for yourselves. Don't take the worst of It and don't be fooled. The hop-scotchers do not represent the out of town or In town voters and have no right to your sup- Port . . V V '"They call us hop-scotchers," yelled a candidate on the headless ticket the other, night. "Hop-scotch means a hop, skip and a jump, and that's the way we're going in." "Look before you leap," answered a voter from the back of the hall. "You've got where you are with a hop and a skip, in stead of a steady gait, and the jump will land you in Salt river." And the candidate answered never a word. All the republicans ask the voters to do is to carefully consider the re publican county ticket. Is there a man on the ticket with whom you can find fault? Does not the records In office of Llnville, Wherlty, Thomp son, Carnahan, Astbury and Lee all show them to be honest, economical, efficient .public officers and worthy of your support? That such is the case no fair-minded man will deny. The new men selected Stokes, Toung, Al len, Parker, and Ingalls are all well known business or professional men In whom you have confidence. What better ticket do you want? It Is a ticket that was nominated in the regular way by regularly selected dele gates from every precinct In the county. It deserves, and it will receive the support and votss of the people. A NEW TRAIN. The Chicago, Milwaukee ft St. Paul Railway Co. will place in service April 29th a New Train between St Paul and St. Louis, called th "Flying Dutch man." The train will have through sleeping cars and be first-class throughout. Ask any ticket agent for particulars or address C. J. EDDY, General Agent, Portland, Oregon. COMMISSION TO MEET TUESDAY At Which Time Public Light Question Will Be Settled. Cltlzei CUIais a Public Plant Will Furnish Llfnts for Half of Pres ent Cost and Pay City's Defct As Expert's Opinion. I Tba Vater commission will meet oi Tuesday night next and will decide, unless a majority of the members change tne,r minds between this time and that da:" th Question M to whether or not Astn hli build and operate Its own electric light plant, The commission was to have met last night but for several reasons it was thought best to postpone the meet ing until next week. Facts and fig ures will be ready for consideration and as the member should,' and are supposed to have been Investigating for themselves, they ought to be ready to act. There Is hardly any doubt but what the commission will decide to build a city plant One member is reported as raying, "we cannot do otherwise than build a city plant The water system has proven a wonderful thing for the city besides being a money-making in vestment Everything tends to show that the electric light plant will earn $4 to the water system's one, besides giving the people abundant light at very low rates. A prominent citizen, who at the start was against public lighting, but who now favors It, in conversation yesterday, said: 'The water system cost Astoria in the neighborhood of 1 270, 000 and has been a paying propo sition. An electric light plant capable of furnishing 150 arc lights and 2,500 to 3,000 Incandescent lights will cost, with everything, lamps and all, of .the latest improved pattern, from $3,500 to $50,000. Add 10 per cent interest per annum on this amount', the topmost estimate of the coet of operating ex penses and then, as against this amount put the receipts from the same number of lights as are being used now by citizens the city's lights being free at a rate of 40 cents per light per month and the electric light plant will then pay more money on the investment in proportion than the wa ter system Is paying. "But I will tell you what I honest Iy believe," he continued. "I believe that a public lighting plant can be built maintained and operated In As toria, that will furnish the city and the citizens with all the lights they can use, furnish incandescent lights to consumers at" 25 cents per month and arc lights in proportion, and earn enough money above all cost to pay the entire city debt in ten years." This Is more than , the Astorian has ever cared to claim for a public light ing plant but the proposition Is not unreasonable. It can be shown to be possible, if "the figures furnished by citiea owning their own light plants. are correct There is no question but what the price of lights can be re' duced more than one-half the present prices, and still the plant be made to earn a tremendous Income over and above all cost The Astorian prefers to take the fig ures the water commission will offer next Tuesday night, to furnishing fig ures based upon calculations made from the receipts and expenditures of other cities. The figures the water commission will furnish will certainly be received as correct and they will show far more than the Astorian has tried to prove with regard to the ad vantages of a public lighting system. John Poole, proprietor of one of the most extensive machinery and electrical supply houses in Portland, is one of the men who has been conferring with members of the water commission for the purpose of obtaining data upon which to base a proposition for fur nishing the necessary machinery for a city lighting plant. Mr. Poole recently Installed electric light and power plants for the cities of Woodburn and McMlnnvllle and submits proof that they have given the greatest satisfac tion. At Woodburn a steam plant was put in and eleven arc lights are being furnished at a reduced rate, while in candescents of 18 candle-power are supplied to private consumers for 50 cents a month. At McMlnnvllle In candescent lights are furnished for 75 cents a month. Mr. Poole declared that nowhere In Oregon was there a better opportunity for a city to furnish its own lights than In Astoria, and he expressed much surprise that our facilities should have been allowed to remain undeveloped so long. He expressed the conviction that Astoria could furnish its own lights lights of the very highest grade at a cost of less than half that which has been paid in the past Should Astoria's water facilities be Insufficient to supply the necessary power for all the lights In the city, a steam plant, he said, could be put In at a very low cost capable of fur nishing all the power required. The council will meet on Monday night, but will probably wait until af ter the meeting of the water commis sion before taking any action regard ing the lighting of the streets. It can be stated, however, that the commit tee to whom the lighting matter is Intrusted has a plan ready for lighting the streets which will probably be pu t Into speedy execution. The tax payers can congratulate themselves that the light question is rapidly near- You ought Just to Sec - The Low Price We are Peltlngr . LliztOBe) French Cfolm. Just Come to Look.

NEW FEATURES FOR FOURTH. Evening Telegram Suggests That Port land Adjourn to Astoria to Celebrate. Th Fohrth of July committee has Juat had printed some very attractive posters announcing the big event to come of? In this city next month. The committee ho received the greatest encouragement from outslUft cities as well as in Astoria. The Portland Telegram of last even ing contained the following editorial; "Astoria is preparing to have a big celebration on the Fourth, and if. as seem probable, Portland dot not make much 'of a display, it would be 'quite the proper thing for a large number of our people to take a trip down the river and take in the celebration at the Clty-by-the-Sea. The trip, so far as fare is concerned, costs next to nothing, and Astorians are noted for their hospitality." The committee has arranged to give an electric May-pole dance on the night cf the Fourth and it is stated that it will be one of the greatest spectacular performances ever seen In this city. IT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS. Chairity Lodge, Degree of Honor, Gives an Enjoyable Entertainment. The literary and musical entertain ment given by the members of Char ity lodge. Degree of Honor, last niaht was by far one of the most enjoyable ever given since the organization of the local lodge. A large number of members and Invited friends were present.

The public is becoming excited over the statement recently made that pota toes contain a poison called solanin. It Is announced that new potatoes con tain much less than old ones, but those which have commenced to sprout are quite dangerous. This may be true, but it seems odd that people have lived and thrived for centuries upon them and that their danger has Just been discovered. It is safe to assert that any one with whom potatoes do not agree has stomach trouble, and any one who has Indication. sia, constipation, billlousness, or liver and kidney weakness needs Hostet ter's Stomach Bitters at once.
