There were several cases of scarlet fe ver In his family, but nil the patients are now well. , Next Monday night the newly elected officers of the Commercial club will en tertain the members at a smoker. Samuel Elmore, chairman of the enter tainment committee, hns' promised to act us to:iHtmnster. The officers are determined to make the affair an en joyable one, nnd It Is looked forward to with much pleasure, j I Wednesday afternoon, shortly before entering this port, George Edward Kenneth Robinson, a 15 year old ap prentice, fell from Oie rigging of the Drlllxh bnrk Musselcrng and seriously injured hlniHclf. Upon the arrlvnl of thd vessel the boy was at once taken to St. Mary's hospital nnd his dislo cated limbs were put In place. II was found that his right ankle and elbow were broken and dislocated but that he suffered no Internal Injuries. The Commercial club will shortly in augurate two bowling contests, for whli'h handsome medals will be hung up. It Is the purpose to start a three men tenm tournament for three line buttons. The teams will bowl weekly, and the aggregation first scoring the two best totals will be awarded the prises. Another medal, and a very elaborate one, will be offered to the person who secures the highest four- total. Handicaps have been appor tioned and the contests will shortly be commenced. There la much Interest In bowling now, and the tournaments will be hard-fought. The sad Intelligence reached this city ysterdsy of the death of Mrs. Clarence Brown nt Pusndena, Calif. Mrs. Brown roritricUd consumption while she and her husband were In Alaska anj It Is of this she died. Mr. Brown Is the brother of Charles V. Brown of '.his i lly, He had taken his wife to southern California In the hops that ths balmy climate there would prove benTfi UI to her and their many friends here will regret to learn that such et forts were unavailing. Charles Edward Foster and Miss Margaret E. (Illmore were united In nurriuge ysterduy afternoon at 1 oVIoik In Ht. Mary's Calhoilc church, Father Wallers of Portland officiating. Harry Foster was best man and Miss Catherine (Minora was bridesmaid for her slst rr. The church was well filled with friends of the couple, who, after the ceremony extended their best wish es and heartiest congratulations. Mr. and Mrs. Foster left on the evening train for a short wedding trip. They will reside In Astoria. Robert Nun I, formerly a resident Jeweler of this city has Just return ed from Nome, Alaska, after a six y.ars'; absence. Mr. Norrls has dis covered tin in Alaska and he will go east either to form a company or sell out, He will go direct to Chicago on business and then will visit his old home In I'.runil.in, Wis. Later he will return to look after his Interests and proiiertles at Nome. Tin Is a rare pro duct In America nnd If the discovery of Mr." Norrls works out well there Is no doubt a good ls'-d fortune Is In it for the discoverer. The "Molly Hogans," who have re cently Instituted a new social organisa tion, elected the following officers at the conclusion of their first annual out burst Wednesday night: President, J. C. Mi-Cue, vlre-presldeut, Charles Hul derman; secretary, Charles Wright; treasurer. Knill Hihlmpff, The treas urer has given bond in the sum of 20,0W and the surety has been approv ed. The organisation will find a meet ing place whenever nn on l buret Is de cided upon, and the officers expect that It will become nn Institution of much social benefit to the member!, who number ntxnit 60. , The Budget states that there is no truth In the report that the 1901 tax roll of the city of Asorla has been found. The reMirt was printed in The Astorlan and was based on a statement made by a city official, to a representative of this paper. It was suggested by a gntleman hc overhtard the conversa tion that the roll was doubtless a copy mnde from memory, but the official who gave out the Inforamlton said that It was the original roll. Indeed, he of fered to woger $100 that the original roll was still in existence and at the city hall. Perhaps he was Joking, but the manner In which he mnde the rt:ite ment did not Indicate that he was In Jest. Inquiry at the office of City Treasur er Dealey confirms the statement made at the meeting of the Push club that the money raised by the park fund levy has lever been set aside for the pur pose.' Mr. Denley says he has re ceived no money for a park fund, but that nil receipts have gone to the gen eral ond street repair funds. This Is Indeed singular, and the Push club will make thorough Investigation of the mattr, with a view to determining where the fault lies. At a recent city election a half-mill tnx was levied and the money collected, but there la no park fund. The city park hns long been a great burden to the Push club, which purposes that the money collect ed for park purposes shall not be lost.. I3x-Coumilmun Svenson la paying one of the penalties that Fame usually re quires of ft man. Mr. Svenson was In the council for several years and his mine became a familiar one. Recently scarlet fever brike out In the home of a faml'y nam.-d Svenson living In East Astoria, and the general public at once concluded that the family must be that of the former alderman. Now, John Svenson runs a bookstore, and fre quently during the ist Tew days wo men have dropped In In a cautious way to ex!?nd Kympathy to htm, nnd to re gret that the prevalence of the disease in the family makes It Impossible for 4tlem to visit the store to make pur chases, Mr. Svenson has been kept buy explaining that scarlet fever does not exist In his family, and that his patrons ne"d have no fear of contract ing the disease In his store. Governor Cleer, In his retiring address to the legislature, made the following referenda to the worK of the Btate hatcheries: "The salmon hatching in dustry has shown a marked stimulus during the pa.it four years, as Indicat ed by the increase of young fry turned out from the state hatcheries. In 1809 the total output from our state hutched 58 was 8,000,000; in 1900, 3,600, 000; )n 1901, 15,000,000, and in 1902, 26, 000.000. The fish commission has left nothing undo.ie In the way of establish ing hatcheries where there seemed a probability of success, and not only does the gratifying increase noted by the figures given establish without doub'. the feasibility of artificial hatch eries, but the great Increase of salmon ii the Columbia river and Its tributar ies demonstrates the practical and per manent vulue they will be to the state. The salmon Industry has become one of the great souk-es of our permanent wealth and furnishes employment to thousands of our worthy cltlsens." Yesterday the 14 salmon canneries In southeastern' Alaska were merged at a meeting In Seattle and the the entire pack, amounting at the present time to between 600,000 and 300,000 cases per annum, passed to the control of Griffith Durney and Company of San Francis. co, who will establish headquarters at Seattle. The prlr list for Alaska pinks will be advanced 15 cents a dozen, The cause of the merger Is alleged to be due to hostile rulings on the part of the treasury department which threatened to drive many canns out of business. All the competition In the salmon district of the north Is removed now. It Is estimated that the advance In the list will net the canneries about 3300.000 & year. The case against W. R. Beckwith was called up yesterday at 10 o'clock a. m. The defendant appeared by J M. Hughes and the stute and the North Pacific Brewing company was repre sented by Harrison Allen, J. A. Kakln and A. M. Smith, The evidence of the prosevutlon was presented and accord Ing to the statement Beckwith was short $'87. but that the accounts were very much mixed. The defense with held Its case and after argument the court decided to hold the defendant Trie bond wna fixed at 3800 which the defendant's uttorney stales will be furnished today. The court and spec tators were favorably Impressed with the bearing and gentlemanly conduct of the defendant. The defense claims a different phase will be-put In the case when It comes up for trial In the cir cult court, The Verdict of the Monument," Is the title of a highly Interesting book which has reached this office. The work Is by Rev. Oeorge Flnke. pastor of the Flr.it Lutheran church of this cl:v. ' The author undertakes to dem onstrate that the writings of the an dents aupiort .the nlstorlcal truth of the Bible. Historically, the work Is of peculiar Interest, as the manner in which the hieroglyphics were unraveled Is fully setiforth. The preface says it Is the purpose of this book to show- briefly and compactly, that the monu ments recently discovered In the Bible lands prove that the faith of all ages In respen to the historical truth of the Bible hus not been mistaken. The In w rlptlons In Babylo ila, Assyria, Egypt and Palestine which have been dis covered and deciphered In our time throw a flood of light on the oldest his toric mankind. The most important service of these ancient records lies In theii- Independent and unconscious tet tlmony to the historical accuracy of Holy Scriptures. Wherever the blero glyphlc and cuneiform texts ure in touch with the Bible, they confirm, verify or enlarge the lfttter's state ments. They prove that the Old Tea. lament does not give unreliable tra- dlilon and sayings but authentic his tory. That shows that the Old Testa ment's religion has a solid foundation, that it Is based on historical -facts. The monuments have spoken their verdict. The stones cry out against the unbelief of men. Agiln It Is demonstrated that the Bible stands on a rock from which it never can be dislodged." The work Is on sale at all local news stands for 25 cents the copy. A CASE IN POINT. Amplification of the Need for Regula tion of Child Labor. Astoria, Jan. IS. Editor Astorlan: Apropos of the bill to be Introduced at the present session of the legislature by Senatoe McOInn of Multnomah county to reguUte child labor, I desire to call attention to a case directly In point- In Astoria. A little chap not more than 10 years old works every night from midnight to 2 and 3 In the morning, sleeps from the last named hour until breakfast time and goes to school at school hour. The wages thusVnrned by the child are all applied to the support of the family. Even if there were no head of the family this would be a clear case of cruelty to children; but what can It be called when there la an ablebodied fa ther, abundantly capable of supporting the family? A very pertinent question would be; Why, if this night labor Is necessary, does not the father do it? as, according to all accounts, his work during the day seems principally to be the wearing out of chair seats, and measuring of aide walks.

OIL AS FUEL. The many oil discoveries during the past few years would seem to Indicate an almost Inexhaustible supply, and as a result much of it Is being used for fuel purposes. Experiments have shown that It Is just as servicable as coal but onldsrably cheaper. There are many people, however, who will al ways prefer coal, just as there are many people who prefer taking Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters In preference to any other remedy because they have tried it and know its value as a stom ach strengthener, an appetiser and gen eral health restorer. They also know from experience tliat it positively cures sour stomach, dlzxtness, headache, In digestion, dyspepsia, constipation, bll llousness or malaria, fever and ague. Try a bottle and be convinced of Its value. Avoid all imitations. SOLID DIAMOND RING.
