Passengers on the train from Port land yesterday saw a couple of deer in a field near Qulrtcy, They were sport ing with a herd of calves and appeared not at all alarmed. About 450 people arrived in the city n lost night's train, the five coaches being filled with travelers.

' Mrs. Llnm Johnson was yesterday committed to the Insane asylum by the sanity commissioners, The wo man is 35 years of age, has four chil dren and Is a native of Sweden. She Imagines that people are constantly accusing her of crime. The musical recital given last even ing by Ralph Worsley was one of the most successful events of the kind ever held in Astoria, Mr, Worsley appeared for the first time in public here and the verdict was general among vocalists that his was a brilliant future. . His rendition of "M'apparl," from "Marta," and "Fruhllngsnacht" were particul arly pleasing and heartily encored. Mr. Worsley was assisted by Miss Camp bell and Miss Frederlcksen. The council last night passed the ordinance granting to members of the Are department an annual vacation of 10 days. Councilman Beltand an nounced that he would be required to again vote against the measure. He Aid the council had set aside $1200 in salary Increases since the first of the year, and called attention to the fact that the sum would pay Interest on $25,000, with which a city hall might be built. He was opposed to any mors donations to city employes. Mr. Xord strom also voted against the bill, which will entail a nominal expense to the city. Joseph Llnqulst, a high school stu dent, died at 2:30 yesterday afternoon at his home in Alderbrook. after An Illness lasting a week. Sunday, May 8, the lad was attack by pneumonia, and on the following day became un conscious. From that time until the end, which cume at 2:30 yesterday aft ernoon, the boy was unconscious. To ward ,the end of his illness typhoid fever developed. Dr. Lindqulst, father of the lad, came down from Portland and was In the city when the end came. Deceased was 18 years of age and had Just finished his first term at the high school. He was regarded highly by all who knew him, and the news of his death was a shock to his many friends. The Arrangements for the funeral will be announced later, public property committee, stated that a purchaser for the property had not been found, but seemed to believe the land could be sold at the figure named in the bill. Captain Jordan of the Melville re ports that he saw the body of a man floating In the river as he was coming over from Chinook on Sunday. The body had the appearanec of being that of a Japanese. Captain Jordan told some fishermen of the matter and they took the body to Chinook, where it will be burled by the authorities of Pacific county. It is quite probable the corpse was that of one of the Japs who jumped overboard from the oriental liner near Brookfleld some time ago, or perhaps escaped from the lndrasamha in the lower harbor about 10 days ago. Just was happened $400 which C. J. Curtis collected for the city of Astoria some years ago is a question which Mr. Curtis and city officials are anxious to solve. At the time Mr, Curtis was city attorney and the sum was paid him by M. J. Kinney, There was no record that the money had ever been paid, and when the present officials assumed charge of the affairs of the municipal ity demand was made upon Mr. Kinney for the sum. He produced the receipt of City Attorney Curtis. The matter was called to the attention of City At torney Smith, who Interviewed Mr. Curtis. The latter stated he had paid the money over either to J. W. Conn, then treasurer, or to II. E. Nelson, then auditor. However, there is no record of it to be found, and it looks very much as if Mr, Curtis will be required to make good the sum. The body of a man Supposed to be Michael Bender, who recently came from Portland, was found In the river neor the A. R Co.'s powerhouse yes terday morning. The watch In the man's pocket hud stopped at 12 o'clock and It Is presumed he met his death at midnight Sunday. Dr. Estes made an examination' of the body and ex pressed the belief that the man must have fallen Into the river while suf fering from an epileptic fit. His iden tity was established by papers found In his pockets. The body will be at the morgue until word Is received from Portland, and it Is unlikely an In quest will be held. The historical committee of the Chamber of Commerce Is anxious to determine the spot on which Chief Concomly was burled. According to Wilkes, a well-known writer, the old chiefs grave was located just south of Fort Astoria, but Wilkes' descrlp tlon of the location Is too vague to give an accurate Idea of the exact spot. If any of the people of the city have any (Information on this subject that would lasslst the chamber in determining the location of Concomly's grave, it would be thankfully received. Yesterday Judge Bowlby sent a communication to the council, asking permission to lo cate the McTavlsh monument on the city hall site (the new site), and the matter was referred to the public prop erty committee with power to act. The committee will grant the request. Record Fund To Be Raised Regatta Finance Committee Meel$ With Much Encouragement in Its Canvass for Money. Another ordinance clothing the pub lic property committee of the council with authority to dispose of the land upon which the present city hall stands was presented to the council last even ing by Mr. Burns. The bill stipulates that $15,000 shall be received for the property, and that the authority shall extend over a period of 60 days. Should the property be sold the city shall, under the terms of the ordinance, be given two months in which to remove from the ground, paying a monthly rental to the owner of $100. It is also specified that the money received shall go into a special fund, to be known as the city hall fund. The bill went over until the next meeting of the council, when it will be called up for final action. Mr. Hansen, chairman of tlie The finance committee appointed for the purpose of canvassing the city for regatta funds yesterday commenced Its work. Former committees had met with much success in soliciting funds for the annual water carnival, but never before has so much encourage ment been held out to a committee as that met with yesterday. Every mer chant called upon increased the amount of his subscription of last year, and the committee collected during the day almost one-half the sum which It in tends raising by direct subscription. The finance committee which yes terday commenced the work is made up of Herman Wise, T. F. Laurln, L E. Sellg, F. J. Carney and H. R. Hoefler. During the day these gentlemen visited the stores of about half of the busi ness men, and by night were able to report mat iney naa Deen promised a total of $1790. Lust year the same firms gave $1200, so, .the average in crease has been about 33 per cent. "We are very much encouraged with the generosity shown by the business men," said Mr. Wise - last evening. "Everywhere we met with the most hearty encouragement and practically all of those . called upon greatly in creased their subscriptions of former years. Everybody wants the regatta and seems ready to lend his support. The committee will make an effort to secure $4000 by direct subscription. Heretofore the greatest amount ever received directly was about $2800. We will try to add $$1000 or more to this sum, so the managing committee may have the best start ever given a com mlttee, making possible the best re gatta in the history of the city. We believe, from the result of today's work, that $4000 will be secured, and that we will be able to report collec tlons aggregating that sum to the Push Club. The money collected yesterday does not Include any subscriptions from the transportation companies, which are always the greatest contributors. Heretofore much more money than that received by direct subscription has been available for the use of the re gatta committee, the additional funds coming from concessions, the queen contest, etc. If we are able to raise $4000 we will give the committee $1000 more than any previous committee has ever received from the same source." The committee will keep at work and make Its report as soon as possible, as it is felt the managing committee needs as much time as can be provided for it The' suggestion has been offered that the committee this year secure the services of some capable man to man age the canival, and sentiment favors the selection of H. I Hamblet, who formerly was very active in his efforts towards the success of the regatta. Mr. Hamblet is now a resident of Portland, but it is believed he would come down for the summer and prepare the week of . entertainment. Doubtless the sug gestion will take official form. j Have You Selected our Summer Dress?
