The police are looking for an unna
tural beast who has been guilty of
an unspeakable practice In the eastern
portion of the city. Yesterday several
complaints were registered with Chief
Uallock and Officer Thmwsn was Je
tulled to arrest the offender. He made
'.h rouK'h search of the east end and
from people living there secured an
excellent description of the fellow. To
day he will probably be arrested and
be given the punishment which his
unnatural crime Justifies. The name
uf the fellow has not been learned.
functions and the residents of the
nelghbobood are terror-stricken. The
fctench Is said to be appalling and the
erty authorities have been appealed to.
Chief Hallock says he will arrest any
one against whom a warrant is i
sued, but he doesn't know Just who
should cause the warrant to be made
out Plumbing Inspector Hannaford,
City Physician Mkmgton or the city
health board. From what could be
learned yesterday It appears the in
ferested property owners have had some
ancient agreement about this sewer,
and contention has arisen as the re
sult of the effort to require the prop
erty owners to make the repair. The
prospects are bright for several ar
rests. ..... ... ,.--V : .:
Uncle Bill Chance, the oldest living
white man who never told a lie, says
Alexander Ross, one of the Hunt par
ty that crossed the plains and named
Astoria, was full of tacks when he
made the entry In his ralry concern
ing the naming of Astoria. Boss en
try refers to the presence on the site
selected for the buildings of tree B0
feet In girth. "Now, they don't make
spruce or fir trees that big," declares
Uncle BllL "I have been over every
square inch of land between Astoria
and Marshfleld, except a few acres be
tween Tillamook and Netarts, and
have personally taken the measure
ment of every tree within this tract,
and I want to say that there Is not
now and never has been a tree In this
neck of the wilderness that would go
50 feet around. That tree In God's
valley f Oh, that's Just remarkable for
the monster limb that sticks out on it
I tell you, that fellow Ross was a re
porter; the truth wasn't In him when
it came to giving the measurement of
trees."
REGATTA COMMITTEE LOAFS.
Takes a Day Off, but Will Continue
Its Good Work Today.
The county court will convene today
In adjourned session for the purpose
of considering the plana for the new
court house. Yesterday Judge Trench-
ard went to Portland to confer with
Architect and It Is expected he will
be able to present the plans for the
foundation to the court, tThe members
of the court are anxious to Et the
work unJer way as soon as possible.
While the work of laying the founda
tion is going on bids will be asked
for the construction of the court house
and there will be no delay In rushing
the building to completion.
News was received In Astoria yes
terday of the death at San Luis Obis-
bo, Cal. of Mrs. Herman PlanUng.
About two weeks ago the death of
Mrs. PlanUng was announced, but the
announcement was due to a rumor
that had no basis In fact. The young
woman succumbed yesterday to con
sumption and news of her death was
telegraphed to Astoria. Her husband
had been with her In California, but
a few days ago Btarted home and Is
probably In Ignorance of her death.
Mrs. Planting was formerly Miss Mary
Watllo of this city, and was 25 yeas
of age. She had been 111 with qulcK
consumption and was sent to Califor
nia for the benefit of her health. She
seemed to Improve for a time, but re
cently declined very rapidly. She Is
survived by her husband, who Is con
nected with the Tallant-Grant Pack
ing Company, and a baby boy, aged
11 months. It Is probable the body
will be shipped to Astoria for interment.
More trouble is brewing at the cor
ner of Sixth and Bond streets. Re
cently the drain there was stopped up
by playful boys and for days a great
pool of water greeted the gase of paas

ness of those unfortunates who hap
pened to reside In the vicinity. The
drain was eventually repaired, but

cation waa set forth in a statement
Issued last .nlghti as follows:
'The Push Club regatta soliciting
committee took a much needed rest
yesterday. Hustler R. Hoefler had run
out of chocolate creams and wind bon
bons which he had been giving to all
who subscribed. Willing A. Sherman

Fourth of July committee, while Her-,
man Wise wrote for the price of eight
tickets to the St. Louis world's fair,
''But today ah! today this bunch of

to make lifc a pleasure to those whose
good fortune it may be to meet the

they have set their hearts on, and the
liberal, prosperous denizens of this
seaside health resort might as well
make up thir minds to subscribe.
"Harrison L. Hamblet, the godfather
of the Push Club, has been Interviewed
by the committee and he has prom

the gentlemen with whom he la conr
nected in business affairs will not ob

" 'But If I do accept.' said he, 1 will

In return for the kindness shown me
at all times, I will do all I can to help
Astoria, and do it gladly and freely.'
"Thus endeth the first lesson "
IMITATINGJVSTORIA.
Several of the leading merchants In
Portland and San Francisco are now
offering free tickets for the St Louis
world's fair to their customers. An
Astoria clothier, Herman Wise, was
the one who originated this novel Idea.
Last January he distributed four free
round-trip tickets to the world's fair,
and about 60 days hence he will give
four more.
Every customer buying $10 worth of
goods receives a number and the last
of July Mr. Wise will give a dance to
his customers, at which time some
child will draw four numbers from a
box, and the customers holding these
numbers will receive free round-trip
tickets to the world's fair.
In addition another ticket wtll be
presented to the ladles. Every lady
whose husband, son, brother or any
male relative or friend buys $10 worth
of goods at Herman Wise's clothing
store will also receive a number.
It is expected that the good ladies
of Astoria and surrounding country
will all be advising their male friends
to trade with Wise, "and be sure to
get me a number, Charley, Harry, Will,
John, Dick, or whetever you name Is."
