well and cherishing the pleasant
thought of making a visit to thit city

that it, and its informant, were misled
upon so gruesome a subject, and is
as glad as anyone to know that, for
once, its news was not reliable.

DR. AUG. C. KINNEY T
Dead at Fablola Sanitarium In
Oakland, Cal.
WIFE AND BROTHER WITH HIM
Dlatinguithed Citizen of Oregon
Honored Member of the Great
Craft of Medicine and Surgery
Orlef Manifett on All Bidet.
Dr, August 0. Kinney, of thit city,
is no more!
The tad intelligence of hit death
reached thit city last evening at 7
o'clock, and came by wire from Dr.
Alfred Kinney, who with hit sister,
Mrt. Eliza Puyton, of Rcdlands, Cali
fornia; his brother, Marshall J. Kin
ney,. of Portland; and the devoted
wife, Mrs. Jane W.Kinney, wat at the
bedside of the doctor, in the Fabiola
Sanitarium, at Oakland, California,
when the dread summons came.
Ever since the 10th of the present
month, when it was known that Dr.
August Kinney had undergone a ser
ious operation at that famous institu
tion, for kidney trouble of long stand
ing, there has been a notable current
of anxiety hanging over thit com
munity, where the deceased physician
was profoundly revered, as one of its
leading and most public spirited citi
zens, and the news, though not en
tirely unexpected, wat received with
deep torrow, on all tidet. Accom
panied by the kinsmen named, the re
mains will be brought north, leaving
San Francisco today, and the funeral
and interment will be held at Salem,
where the family owns a plat in the
Odd Fellows' cemetery, and where a
number of the elder generations of
the family were laid in final rest; the
following members of the family go
ing from here tomorrow to attend:
Mrt. Jane Smith and Mrs. Joseph E.
Walker, of San Francisco, the latter
now a guest at the home of Mrt.
Smith, and both tistert of the lament
ed dead. Hon. John H. Smith, and
A. M. Smith, of this city, nephews of
Dr. Kinney, being now at the Capitol
City on business, and who were ap
prised of the tad circumstances last
evening on their arrival in Portland,
having left here on the 6:10 express.
It is a difficult matter to state the
real estimate in which Dr. August
Kinney wat held in this community,
where for the better part of two gen
eration! he hat figured as the friend,
the student, the healer, the guide, the
man of affairs, the leader, and cham
pion of all things that were for the
good of humanity. His gentleness,
his culture; his active mind always
charged with some high purpose; his
unfailing kindliness, and strong, prac
tical, loyal devotion to the city and
state, made him at once a conspic
uous and honored type of the very
best citizenship known, here, and all
over the State of Oregon. His death
is taken as a personal loss throughout
this city and county and this concep
tion of the fact is justified by the
breadth of expression incidental to
the receipt of the news of last night.
Burdened for years with a malady
of his own that defied his own deep
knowledge of medicine and physics,
as well as that of his brethren in the
great craft .this man, brave and as
piring, gave up his troubled years to
the noble quest of a mastery of still
another merciless disease, tuberculo
sis, and this search he pursued, in
and out of season, with a devotion
rarely equalled and yet crowned with
a measure of success that has made
him famous in two hemispheres, as
his latest acquisitions will demon
strate when they shall be published
to the world. Astoria mourns him
sincerely, and with a grateful sense
of the good, the honor, he conferred
upon her always.
The doctor was born in Muscatine,
Iowa, in July, 1845, and was therefore
in his 63rd year. He was a son of
Robert C. and Eliza L B. Kinney,
and with his parents, crossed the
plains in 1847, to Oregon, the family
settling in the Chehalem Valley, in
Yamhill County. There he grew to
boyhood, attending school at Forest
Grove and at McMinnville, always
with the ambition to enter the career
of medicine and surgery, which
laudable hope was fulfilled when he
was admitted to Willamette Univer
sity and there passed the prescribed
course with brilliant success. Later
he went to Bellevue Hospital, in New
York City, to perfect himself in his
chosen calling, devoting two years
more to study and during which time
he was appointed to the position of
physician on the house staff at the

Returning to the Pacific Coast he
entered upon the practice of his pro
fession at Portland, later coming to
Astoria, where he made his home
through all the rest of the years al
lotted to him; and where, in 1866, he
married Miss Jane Welch, who still
survives him and mourns his . loss
most grievously. No children were
born of the union.
DrT August Kinney has always
been notable for his deep interest in
the great enterprises that contributed
to the expansion of the State. He
wat one of the men who strove val
iently for the building of the jetties
at the mouth of the Columbia river;
he was in the forefront of the huge
work of the locks at the Cascades; his
influence was large, and unflagging in
the inauguration of the Astoria &
Columbia River Railway, and in
many another far-reaching enterprise,
his hand and heart was engaged for
the good of the whole people. In this
city, there is scarcely a public move
ment of moment that does
the indelible impress of hi
interest and practical help.
to this universality of thoug
tivity that he owes, and owni
grateful memory of all Oregon,
Dr. Kinney and his wife have spent
the winter in Europe where the doc
tor visited all the universities where
they were experimenting in his spec
ialty of tuberculosis. He was return
ing hom by the way of California
and when he was too ill to proceed
he went to the Fabiola Sanitarium.

will be the case next Saturday night

"The Burgomaster." He feels it is

the play, that being given to its last
line, as usual.

Harry Jackson's latest success, as
presented by the Holden Bros. & Ed
wards Company is considered the
best melodrama now playing at popu
lar prices, and bids fair to do a big
business at the Astoria Theatre, Sun
day, March 29th. Both press and
public throughout the country agree
that it contains more heart interest,
stirring climaxes, and better scenic
effects than any drama produced this
season. It is easy to understand this
when one takes into consideration
that Mr. Harry Jackson, the author,
chose for his subject! the best char
acters and strongest situations con
tained in Charles Dickens' great story.
David Copperfield. And by adding
to these some novel ideas of his own
has manufactured a play far above
the average. Among the many nov
elties introduced may be mentioned
the great shipwreck scene, the hand-to-hand
fight in the storm, the old
ship turned upside down on' the
beach where dwells the famous old
Peggotty family, and the village
churchyard in winter, in which scene
is introduced the greatest dramatic
situation ever achieved by two women
characters, viz.: Rosa Dartle and
Emily. The play abounds in beauti
ful situations and stirring climaxes,
and the patrons of the Astoria wiS
no doubt enjoy the Dickens play.
