The officer however asserted junt n positive ly that Mooemnn bad used insulting language, toward him and after hearing both sides to the matter, Judge' Ander son dismissed the case, with n warning to Mooseman that in the future his language should be such aa to keep him out of jail. Mooseman admitted he had been drinking, but was not drunk. The court in the course of his remarks em phasized the fact that tho average per son did not treat officers of the law with due respect, nnd said that he would give all persona guilty of insult ing remarks to an officer, the limit. Be cause there seemed to be doubt as to the extent of Moosemnn'a offense, the mutter was passed over.

It is the fashion nowadays for every mother's son of a clothing dealer to claim that "HE" is the only favored one who carries the "BEST" clothes. Do you, Mr. Customer, believe that ONE factory, makes all the good clothes in America. Indeed, some factories who were the ones, but a few years ago, bare de generated and new men, young men, men of nerve, of ambition and of pride have grasped the reins and the M and S or the X and Y Brands of former years, are passed NOW! Today, new people are to the fore, tomorrow too will be brushed aside, by younger, more vigorous men with newer ideas and so the world hss," does and ever will, move on. The question thererore Is: which one of your local clothiers is the most aggressive, the most up-to-date one; who is it that will take up new ideas, new makes FIRST? When you have answered that question, then you can safely decide as to who "DOES" come nearest to that ideal. "Don't judge a firm by its pretensions." "Judge a clothier as you would a preacher." "A doctor, a lawyer, a mechanic, etc." "Judge every man or firm hy the "MAN BEHIND THE GOODS."

In con formity with the tenor of the communi cation made to the taxpayers of the Astoria school ditrict by the president of the board of directors, Judge F. J. Taylor, acting on behulf of the board, and read in full ut the meeting of Tuesday evening, the directors met yes terday attention and made an order covering the matter of the removal and remodelling of the McClure school building. The building committee of the school board, Messrs. J. W. Welch and J. A. Kakin, were instructed to have plann and specifications drawn pro viding for the removal of the building fifty feet to the southward and twelve feet to the westward and for the rais ing of the building so as to permit the installation of four more rooms, two of which later will le made of the base ment play room now existent; and so soon a the committee and the architect shall report the work back to the board the work will lie commenced and dis posed of with all the despatch possible. The work will cost in the neighborhood of $10,000, but will be wholly compen satory, and i. imperatively necessary. One peculiarly fortunate feature of the completion of thi work is the facilitat ing tlK abandonment of the Olney school building, which is much too close upon the "dead line" of the forbidden district of the city for the moral health of the children, and the personal com fort of the staff that teaches there. The Good Old Way. A reporter of the Astorian was shown a note of hand yesterday that has a bit of a story at tached to it. that will la-ar recital from the fact that it demonstrates the splendid gift of per-onal confidence that exists between men in this age of ex acting business ntle: Five years ago a certain gcxsl citizen of this county had occasion to ltorrow the sum of ?500. and sought it of a friend and neighbor; Clothes Bought at Herman Wises Store pressed Free WHAT IS TEffiBEST CLOTHING the friend had it on hand and loaned it gladly, taking the note, of the borrow er, for one ymr, with six per cent inter est; and before the ink was dry, the loancr handed the evidence of debt bock to the borrower with the state ment that be did not want, nor need the note, that be trusted him implicity and he did not care to put a bridle on his confidence in a friend. The borrow er took it for a year, paid the inter est, tendered the principal, and wa told Ut use it as long as he had any possible rraxon for doing so Year by year, for four more years, the promisor paid the interest and tendered the prin cipal, annually, only to have the full sum thrust buck upon him for further use; and only a short while ago, when the vagaries of time made it expidient for the man who owed it to leave the section in which they had both lived so long, was the full and final sum of principal and interest paid in settlement of the note that had never changed hand.
