yesterdty afternoon at 2;30, 1t bulng
the anniversary of ih death of Fran

ily decorated with green, Mrs. Wll

wreath of green with bunches of white
flowers Interwoven. A number of pa
pers and a poem were read, all pay
ing tribute to the memory of this
iueen among women. Special mention
should be made of lb effort made by
Mls Olsen, who rendered a recitation
which added much to the success of
th servlc. "
The Asiorlan yesterday received a
very attractive Invitation ' from ' the
pupils of room two of MKIure school
to attend the Washlngton-Iongfellow
exercise, to be held at 1:30 this aft
ernoon, i The Invitation Is In the form
of a cardtsiard hatchet, emblematic of
the episode that made Washington
famous with the Utile folks. A blue
and white ribbon knot lends to the
attractiveness of the Invitation. The
Astorian begs to extend Its thank to
the children of room two for the
courtesy extended, and to assure them
of Its sincere appreciation. Doubtless
the xerclMs will ! especially Inter
esting, and the parents should be out
in numbers.
Voters should bear In mind that
they will be required to register If
they wish to take part In the coming
June and state elections. No matter
how many previous times you have
registered, you will again be compell
ed to observe the formality, or rise
stny home on election day. Tints far
the reafcitrstflnn I very light, the to
tal number now on the nlls being on
ly !65. Th registrations In the city

No. i. 33; No. 3. 39; No. 4, Kl; No. 5,
47; No. . 12; No. 7. 7. This Is a
very poor showing, and, while the
books will b open for some time to
come, the number regrMered to date
should b m ice as large.
A. J. Johnson, the forestry expert,
who was In the city Wednesday, Is In

exhibit at Buffalo was a magnificent
one and that It attracted more atten
tion than almost any other display.
Three Orcgnnlans were constantly on
hand to enlighten visitor, but the
thouonnds who sought Information
wore ton many for the hard-worked
oltlcliUs In chnrge. Mr. Johmn wants
to overcome this failure to give In
formation, both at Charleston and St.
Ixiuis, and Is happy to not that the

vertising. Mr. Johnson has arranged
to secure a suitable dlaplay from this

While the Jury In the Scott case was
out yesterday afternoon Judge Mc
llrlrto related an Interesting Incident
apropos of the option of the one of the
juror In holding out against tire oth
er ten. Some years ago a murder case
was on In Clackamas county, and bo
convincing with the evidence against
the accused that the jury was almost
unanimous for a verdict of murder In
Ihe first degre. One Juror, John Tal
bert (who was recently an unsuccess
ful candidate for th office of fish war
den) held out tor the defendant and
hung the jury. He was roundly abus
ed for his action, but When th case
came up at the next term of court it
was found the" accused had been the
victim of conspiracy, and that he
wa wholly innocent of the crime.
The prosecuting attorney dropped the
oaae. The aftermath was very disas
trous to the conspirators, one of whom,
a witness named King, stood In with
n Portland detective and testified that
the accused had Induced him to assist
In the crime. This testnamy was
found to be perjury, and King waa
Indicted, He was convicted of mur
der In the second degree and eent to
the penitentiary for life. "It lnt al
ways the oas that the mam who hang
a jury I at fault," said the judge.
Th Lewis and Clark road commit

The first games In the series to be
bowled between the Irving Club and
the Commercial Club teams occur to
night at the alleys of the Commercial
Club. Members of both clubs. Includ
ing ladles, have been Invited to wit
ness the games. Last evening sev
eral of the Irving Club players vis
ited the Commercial Club and bowled
a few game. They ar playing In
good form, and Will, probably set a
pretty hot pace for 1h Commercial
Club aggregation. ' Captain Astbury
was asked last night to announce his
team, but said he. had not .definitely
decided Hi all the men, It.l not un
likely, however, that , the following
gentlemen will represent, .the Irving.
Club: It F. C. Atbury, Vf. L. Bobb,
T. Truntnger, O. C. Fulton, L. I. Her,
D. A. McLean, C. A.'Coorldge, J. C.

F. H. Ooodell, C. It Htggln. W. Ma-
thena. A. C. Ross, J. D. Taylor. George
A. Lewis, P. n. flovey. The games
will commence promptly at t o'clock.
The determination to bowl eight men
proved popular. At the Irving Club
last evening Mr. McLean bowled the
remarkable game of 74. Tne club rec
ord Is 76. bowled by C. E. Bain, but a
bad frame following, eight consecu
tive strikes ruined Mr. McLean's
chances ot establishing a new record.
District Attorney Harrison Allen, the
legal representative of the courtty
court, yesterday filed his answer to
the Injunction proceedings recenUy
tnstltued by the Herald Publishing
rompany against the county court to
rvstraln that body from awarding the
printing contract to the New and
Budget The complaint, which accused
Judge Oray of sneaking around to
the publisher of the dally paper and
asking them to present offers for the
work, was regarded , as "warm." but
the answer Is tropical It Is a general
denial of all the allegations mad by
C. J. Curtis, reciting that Judge Gray
did not sneak around to the newspa
per offices, 'vir at all sneaked, or quiet
ly or loudly or In a. whisper or In an
ordinary or angry tone of voice, or at
all asked them to put In bids, for the
county printing." The statement that
the awarding of the contract to the
News and Budget will cost the county
$.'00 more than If the Herald gets th
work Is also denied, as is the allega
tion that the plaintiff 1s a taxpayer.
It was contended by Mr. Curtis that
the county had reached its limit of
Indebtedness, and that a contract
would be Illegal. This Is denied. Th
answer further recites that the Her
ald lx not reputable nor responsible,
mv a disseminator of truth or vara
clty, nor an (advocate of morality or
decency, and alleges that the subscrip
tion list filed by the company at the
time it presented its bid was fraudu
lent, and the court had learned of this
by Investigation. The matter will be
presented In the circuit court at II
this morning, when Attorney Allen will
ask the court to dissolve the tempor
ary Injunction. A most Interesting
situation Is promised.
