Officer Thompson testified that he saw sundry Indecent acts committed by Meyers, and furthermore contradicted several minor details of his evidence.

Notice Is hereby given that there are funds In the city treasury to pny all warrants drawn on the general fund and endorsed prior to December 1st, 11)9. Interest will cease after this date. F. J. CARNEY, City Treasurer. Astoria, Or., July 3, 190D. Two thousand or more visitors en Joyed Ilia races and parade of the "Horribles" In Astoria yesterday, and at least twice us many are now here, and more coming by train, boat, car riages and afoot. , Everything passed off without a hitch, excepting only for the absenoti of the cyclists, and the committee deserve special congratula tion for the highly auccessful and pleasing way In which everything moved. Uy no means the least pleas li.g of the notlceshle strong points In the manugenient and execution of the various events was the ' absolute pi miptltudu with which everything moved. For Instance exactly at 8:30, as advertised, the "Dewey" baod. of Astoria, bfgun to play In front of the city hall, and Immediately after the band hud n-nd.-r-d in excellent style several selections, patriotic and other wise, the races begun. Chief Hallock B(.tl as starter, and Kube HhU-lds, the trick cyclist, who will with his brother today do some of the best fancy cycle riding and tumbling to be seen anywhere, proved Invaluable as a general alt-round rustler, encouraging timid Ikiys and fat men to take part In the races, and In a good -natural way keeping the crowd out of the way of the competitors. The Prst two rsoes, the boys' foot race and thi free for all 100 yard race, were run on Commercial street near Eleventh. There were Ave entries for the boys' race 'or prist of 12.00 and II. Jack Russell came In first and Warren Dslton second, though they were close ly followed by two more. For the 100 yard, free for all, there were only two entrlw. and the runners were very evenly matched and made the prettiest race of the day. Unfortunately the time was not takm, but It must have been close to record time. The prlxes were valued at 310 and IS. A. Thlel won the first and F. 8. Llndstey the second. The remaining rocs were run on DonJ street between Ninth and Tenth. For the girls' foot race there were seven tntries, and five of the girls reached the finish almost In a bunch. The prises of I3.&0 and $1.60 for first and second place were awarded to Esther Johnson and Lilian North. For the -ack race there w-ere four entries, and It was almost a AaJkover for Jack Russell, who got first place. Warren Pulton received the second prise. One poor little chap seemed quite lost In his sack and evidently had not been practicing for the event aa some others had. The prists were $2.50 and $1. This was the second event In which Jack Russell won a prlxe. There were tight teams for the three-legged race, and, as some of the boys were much smaller than others, Chief Hallock de cided to allow handicaps In proportion to size. One of the smaller couples won second place. The first prise of $2.50 was won by Willie Seaberg and George Pragallch, and the second prise of $1 by Martin Brown and Paul Fake. , The final event was the fat man's race, and it looked for soma lime as though It would not be run for lack of contest ants. Finally, however, three victims were secured. A false start by Sheriff Llnvtlle and a failure to start by the third contestant created some merri ment, but finally Thos. Llnvllle and Mr. Maston came In neck and neck, and the box of cigars was divided be tween them. The sheriff had the lead for the first few yards and kept up the same pace to the finish, but Mr. Mas ton got warmed up and overtook him. The bicycle race did not occur for lack of cyclists, and the cycle parade at night was a failure for the same rea son.

First tame tho Hayseedvllle band, a choice collec tion of nondescripts, then the sober multer-of-fact Chinese band drawn on a wagon, and lastly the "Horribles" if m'I stages and degiees of "horrible new." The star ai'.racilm was, the bicycle ridden by Rube Slilrl , which was fitted out us a hay wagon with horse In front. The committee awarded th prize of $150 to William Clgner for his "horseless carriage, ' a collection of wrecked farm wagons knocked ti gi'trcr Into movable shape and drawn by a knockneed mule. The second prize was won by the "Louvre Dutchman" and the third by George Price, the clarinetist. Many of the costumes were well got ten up and deserve more especial no live, particularly those of the "Louvre" men. Considerable money, time and skill were expended on the decorations, which made Astoria look as gay as a s.ige-bruh girl with her first sweet heart. The committee Justly awarded the first prize for the best Illuminated building, lost night, to Hot tier's Ice i ream parlor. A fine arch was con structed upon the curbing and connect ed with the door by brilliant lines ot light and bunting. The tlgn stood oul In letters of fire, and over It was a large star each point of which was a globe of fire, and In the center a large en graving of the Father of His Country could be plainly seen. The second prize was awarded to Fisher Bros. whose window display la as unique as It Is a propos. In the large center window a cruiser rests upon a rippling sen. Its Interior Is lighted by elec tricity and Its sides and turret bristle with brass cannon. Just ot the stem stands a lighthouse- with a red elec tric light at Its summit. In one of the side windows Is a fortress constructed of tomato cans and guarded by a regiment of Uncle Sam's boys. In the other window Is a fine collection of living birds collected by Earl Fisher In California. They are trained and very Intelligent and Include some very rare and beautiful species, such aa the paraquet and cockatoos. In the store of Charles Rogers there Is a fine dls play of Belgian hares. Probably the neatest decoration fi r the amount ot space utilised Is that of the A. Punbar Co. A very beautiful arch stands In Its doorway, In addition to other decoiations. The harmonious blending of the national colors with the stock in trade, at the store of Herman Wise, has a very line effect and for a display of artistic taste is one of the best ap pearing decorations In town. The mammoth fireworks in the window of V. H. Coftey's store, with the pithy witticisms attached, are attracting much favorable notice and comment. The space of the small office of the A. ft C. R. R. as well as that of the PN trlct Messenger office, is fully and tastefully utilized. The Conn Prug Company and Foard ft Stokes have fine Interior and exterior displays. The best displays which are confined to the Interior are doubtless those of the Astoria Savings bank and of Griffin & Reed. The former, though simple, Is very attractive. The latter Is more varied In character embracing por traits of Pewey. Lincoln and Washing ton, flags, bunting, fireworks, buttons and decorating materials of various kinds. For excellent exterior displays St. Mary's Hospital, the Occident hotel, the City Hall and the County Court House each are deserving of special mention. Several other excellent decorations were In course of prepara tion when the Astorlan representative made his rounds, and bo have escaped mention. It Is unfortunate that a special effort was not made to decorate the depot and decks where our visitors arrive, aa first Impressions are so Im portant. The fact that our best decora tions nre some distance from the land ing pface of our visiting friends is like ly to give them the erroneous Impres sion, which will not be easily effaced, that Astoria has been lacking In enter prise In getting up this celebration. The exercises for the evening were concluded by many Interesting dis plays of fireworks on Commercial btreet. besides the sending up of several magnificent fire balloons which soared to a great height The ball at Foard ft Stokes' hall. In honor of the officers of the Philadelphia, was well attended. The program for today Is printed else where. The formation of the parade at 10 a m. today will be as follows: FIRST PIVISION.

WILAT OUR FLAG STANDS FOR. Wherever the American flag Is raised In token of sovereignty. It stands for liberty, Independence and equality, What our flag is to the nation, Hostet ter's Stomach Bitters Is to the Individ ual, Inasmuch as It not only gives you freedom from your ailments, but pro tects your system In such a manner that they cannot return. When your stomach gets out of order, causing you to belch after eating, or when you are ao nervous that you toss about all night, unable to sieep, you should cer tainly try It, because It will strengthen your atomach, steady your nerves, and Induce sound, healthy sleep, and for Indigestion, constipation and biliousness there Is nothing to equal It. Rheuma tism la also counteracted by Its direct action on the kidneys. ATTENTION FORESTERS! All members of court Astoria F. O.
