One of the most successful social
parties, of the year, was what was gen
erally known as the "WW party, which
was held at Logan's Hall last night. The
occasion was the distribution of the
three pianos which this enterprising mer
chant had offered to hi patrons. From
the crowded condition of the hall when
the first number on the dance program
was called it would appear that many
of our citizens, both ladies and gentle
men, had Wen having business rela
tions with Mr. Wise, An excellent or-
liestra had been engaged and dancing
was indulged in until about 10:30, when
the following judge of the content were
selected by those attending: It. T.
leffries, Jas. Ilannnford, Olof Anderson,
fiis II, Hansen and Louis Erkkson.
Karl Holme was selected as the boy
who should draw th lucky numbers,
and as he appeared, blindfolded, there
was ft suspense.
Tjie contest was in three divisions,
one piano was to go 10 customers re
siding outside of Che city. Cduntry
ustomers had white tickets, and in the
white division, No. 651, held by. J.'C.
Pope, of EWe, was drawn out.
Division Xo. 2 were city customers
residing west of Twelfth street; they
held yellow tickets; in this division Xo.
840 came out and Mr. 8. O. Hendrickson,
of 410 Taylor avenue, was the lucky
holder.
The third division comprised all that
part of the city situated east of Twelfth
trcet. No. 87, held by, Mr. Ludwlg Carl-
win, nephew of Otto Carlson, proved the
lucky number for the east portion of
the city.
General good feeling prevailed, and
the evident fairness of the contest
brought forth pleasant comments on the
business methods of the host of the
evening. Alter tne aistriuution 01 tne
pianos, dancing was resumed until after
midnight, and U left for their homes,
wishing a continuance of the "Wise" dis
fributions.
Mr. Wise when seen after the function
was in a good humor, reflected, no ooubt,
from bis guests, and he stated that
commencing this morning another pisno
contest wilt be started and the contest
will be closed next summer in a like
manner. Mr. Wise also suggested that
his customers save their sale slips for
this distribution which will be on the
same plan as the one just concluded.

FIGHT GUGGENHE1MS.
VANCOUVER, B. C. Oct. 31. A cor
poration of eastern millionaires has been
formed with the announced intention of
fighting the Guggenheim in the Klon
dike. Already the great American min
ing corporation has secured a firm toot-
hold in the north, and it is an open
secret in Dawson that its nominees will
be placed in the field for political
o(lk.
For a year eastenu Canadian moneyed
men have been looking with an envious
eye on the success of the American con
cern in its dredging proieots in the
northern rivers.
Secretly and with great care a char
tcr was issued two weeks ago from the
federal ogvernment at Ottawa to a cor
poration with a capital stock of $20,
000,000. With this and the money and
political influence behind the new corpo
ration the operations of the Guggen
hcims are to be duplicated and check
mated and hindered in every possible
way.

Last night waa Halloween. Many of
the readers of the Astorian will not need
to bo reminded of this fact by this paper.
Missing gates, lgn changed in their
locations, vehicles mysteriously wafted
to inaccessible places, etc. will bring to
the mind of the victims of this innocent t
pranks of the present generation the
fact that there wai something abroad
last night, . ;
Earlyi in the evening the youth of the
land was in evidence with Jacko'lanterns
looking for fields to conquer. The
pranks cut up, by the flower of the city
were something awful. A few of the
things noted by the poor newsgatherer,
been to all that it happening, is noted.
At Coroner Pohl' undertaking parlors
the sign of ft prominent physician ap
peared, while vice versa, Pohls sign was
placed 'at tho foot of the stairway of
tlie building in which the aforesaid
physician' office I located. The sign
Sheriff' office" which formerly) adorned
the entrance to Sheriff Pomeroy'a office
was found over tho entrance to the
K)!ice station. One of the fortunate
ones using ft sign was rranic ward.
Some mischievous ones endeavored to re
move bis sidewalk aign, but. to use an
expression of the street, "there was
notbing doing."
Frank Parker' automobile may be
missing but if no win inquire ot Jonn
Fox, he will learn of its whereabouts,
maybe.
John McCue attended the Herman
Wiite piano distribution social, and, on
his return to his bschelor quarters,
found his resting place occupied. He
was non plussed for a short time, and
was about to meander to the Occident,
when it occurred to Lira that he would
investigate as to who the intruder was.
"Halloween," waa his ejaculation as he
found a dummy, made up by some of his
friends.
Officer Twombly found a letter, which
had been passed under his door, asking
him to report for dutyi Chief Gammal
was not worried about losing his patrol
wagon; it was safely in Prael-Signer's
barn.
Mayor Wise, who was the shining star
at the distribution of pianos, received a
letter informing him that the three
pianos, offered as gifts, had been stolen.
He perused the epistle and turning to
the messenger boy said "Letter go as it
looks, the winners will receive their
pianos anyhow. Tm Wise."
Many other pranks were perpetrated
but one cannot see it alL

Mx. B. W.nir is voting bis son,' Ur.me4 m yj,.. Leopold
Weiss, of 278 West 113th street, fought
his way from his bedroom to the base
ment of his borne early todayi and fell
exhausted only after ho had wrested the
weapon from the Introducer and used it
upon him with telling effect.
Dr. Weiss acts as financial agent Mit
for an English actor who is his friend.
He drew tho actor's money out of tho
Knickerbocker Trust Company before
that institution closed its doors, and be
lieves the negro who, ho say ho recog
nized as a former porter, saw him in the
line at the bank.
Dr. Weiss was awakened by some one
at his bureau. He sprang out of bed
aud upon the negro. They clinched and
went tumbling about the room, out into
tho hall and down tho steps. On the first
floor they, fought desperately, the negro
using tho razor constantly. Then they
rolled down another flight into the base
ment. )
Weiss then succeeded iu grasping the
razor and slashed the burglar. As the
struggle stopped ft moment ho turned
on the electrlo lights and says he recog
nized tho negro. Tho burglar then
sprang upon bim, bowling him to tho
floor, snatching tho razor from his hand
and escaped. f
The police found a trial of Wood lead
ing to a back fence and a pool of blood
in an ndjoining lot. Weiss sustained
more than ft dozen serious wouuds, and
is in a critical condition from loss of
PORTLAND, Oct L-Severbl Port-
landers, a citizen or two of Astoria and
probably a disgruntled denizen or more
of Seattle would like to find one E. A.
Morgan, alias Kuntz, who has worked
a smooth game along the coast and in
the northwest which culminated in his
uttering forged checks, one of which
was drawn in Rwtland on the Califor
nia Wine Association at San Francisco.
A warrant for Morgan's arrest has
been issued byJudge Cameron and an
other complaint will be filed at San
Francisco, as 'Morgan is believed to be in
that pity. It is not unlikely that the
culprit will also have to answer to the
charge of impersonating a United States
official as he passed as an internal reve
nue officer and on account of this decla
ration was made tbe guest of Captain
Mason of tho steamship Costa Rica and
the sheriff of Clatsop county, besides
insratiatuur himself in the favor of
many other of Portland and Astoria.
The Morgan case is ft complicated
one. For months the fellow bad been
traveling between this cityi, Seattle, As
toria and San Francisco. His frequent
trips on the Costa Rica, his affable man
ners and his apparent knowledge of gov
ernment revenue work made Captain
Mason and Purser Haywood think that
their passenger was a fine fellow, wor
thy of their confidence. At Astoria
Morgan met the sheriff and was fre
quently entertained by him.
Investigation has shown that Morgan
has been making the rounds of the
northwest cities. He was introduced in
to sevtnl well-known families and from
them borrowed sums of money. He is
believed to have been one of ft party of
shrewd swindler who have worked the
trains and boats coming into Portland
and Seattle, using a United States in
ternal revenue officer's badge as ft blind
to divert suspicion. 1
The specific charge on which Morgan
is wanted is passing ft forged check
through ft local business house which
check was indorsed by ft gentleman
whose name for the present will bo with
held hxt the authorities. Tho check was
deposited with the Portland Savings and
Trust Company anl sent to San Fran
cisco for collection, it was signed osten
sibly by Fercy Moran, president of the
California Wine Association. Mr. Percy
