BIO EX-SHERIFF CONFIRMS THE RUMOR AFLOAT YES TERDAY, AND GIVES HIS REASONS. ' Chocolates 1 the best in the world . 50c a Pound, Thomas Linvillc, independent Re publican candidate for the office of Sheriff of Clatsop county, has with drawn from the contest. This word is given forth upon the dcclaralion of Mr. Linvillc, himself, made to a representative of the As- torian last evening. The rumor was afoot here yester day and was accompanied by a lot of gratuitous frills as to the method and manner and cause of his renunciation of the pursuit, such as usually attend matters of this sort and which are entirely beyond the issue at hand. Of course, ctming from the Democratic field, the accounting for his with drawal could not be expected to be at all eomnlimentary to him: but his own statement in this relation is here and now appended. Said Mr. Lin villc, in answer to direct inquiries nrol hv the reporter: , . "Yes, 1 have retired from tne neia of local politics as an independent candidate for the shrievalty, of my own choice, on my own judgment; and not at the bidding, instance or ncrsuasion of a living soul beyond that espcxial influence. 1 have scan ned the recent primary vote cast lor Mr. Pomerov and I am convinced it was given him largely by the open town element. of the Astoria elec mrt iiiiifd and abetted by the Demo crats who pose for the same local conditions. I am for a closed town, and a town so regulated as to make it hahitahte and respectable and I be came convinced I could not command the nrestice. on those lines, to war mm me in oursuing the quest- My previous record on this question is widely known and no doubt is neia as in mv convictions nor my measures of enforcing them; hence I deemed it tfhe better part of political wisdom to withdraw and permit the dominant wish to have sway. "It is known that I am diametrically opposed to dancehalls and gambling; that I will not stand for these things under any conditions whatever so long as I am officially empowered to suppress them. As" to saloons I have fixed views that differ broadly from many people who would invoke every concicvable statute and ordinance against them. I believe that in the interior towns of ihe State, where .the populations are essentially a home-people, with homes to go to and stay In when they get there, that the Sunday law is wholly applicable and necessary; but here in Astoria there is a large floating population, without home or other comfortable resort, fishermen, loggers and other itiner ants, to whom the open saloon on an idle day, ii not always a source of reckless drinking and carousal, but rather, and often, a resort for comfort and harmless refuge. "If I were sheriff of thi county, you may be sure I would close the laloom on Sunday if th district at torney directed me to do so, whatever my private views might be in the mat ter. And another thing I desire to say, is, that 1 am heartily In favor of every candidate before the people of this county, committing himself, in an open, written pledge to the public, as to what he will do if,, the office he seeks shall be conferred upon him, so that the public will have something tangible to hold against him if he shall fail to do his promised work and his whole duty.". Mr. Linvillc denied' emphatically that he had ever been approached by any interested parties, in Astoria, or from abroad, and that had such been the case, there would have been no withdrawal of his to chronicle in this instance Merely Negotiations The talk of the passing of the well known and popular stevedoring busi ness of Brown & McCabe, which maintains an office and business in this city as well as at other points on the coast, by sale to Rothschild & Co.. is denied at the Astoria office, where William A. Johnston presides as agent. The interest of the widow, of the late Captain G. A. Brown has been in the market for some time, and this is the extent of the negoti able property of the old firm liable to be involved in any change that may occur. Had. there been anything like complete recession of the McCabe interests as well, Mr. Johnston says his office would have been advised of it very promptly. , i Boosted Him Off- Just as the "hostler" engine of the A. & C. was crossing the gangway at Fourteenth street yesterday after noon, four lads on ' bicycles came swinging off the 0. R. & N. dock, bound for the city center, and one of them, on reaching the rails, slowed down and" began doing some fancy stunts, apparently unobservant of the approaching engine. When he did n'ntir it. he' did not have time to peddle out of line, and the engine then slowed down to a crei quietly boosted him off the track and gave him a start that carried him clear of all danger. The engine was stop oed and the engineer got down and looked over the little chap, and find ing him unhurt and a lot wiser than he was a minute before, climbed up and went his way to the depot. 9Si OUR AIM Is to have the cleanest store and the best grade of groceries to be found in the city.

CLATSOP COUNTY TEACHERS' INSTITUTE OPENED YESTER DAY WITH LARGE ATTEND ANCE AND MARKED INTEREST. The Clatsop County Teachers' In stitute convened yesterday morning at o clock at the county court house, and in the chambers of the circuit court, and was opened by singing America, following by the Lord s Prayer, recital by the teachers. The thanks of the teacher are due to Miss Emma Warren, Clatsop county superintendent, who, by her careful arrangement of the program, and gracious supervision of its en forcement, has made the opening of this Institute most enjoyable as well as instructive. The organization was completed by the appointment of Mr. B;anstrator, of Seaside, as secretary and the en rollment of teachers present, of whom there were 68. Prof. L. R. Traver of Monmouth was assigned to the primary section, as instructor in reading. Prof. Traver is normal in his methods, forcible in application and most interesting in his instruction. Prof. H. D. Sheldon of the Univer sity of Oregon, following in this sec tion, on numbers and gave a very help ful and bright talk. In the advanced section Prof. Sheldon gave geography, from the "Standpoint of Children's nterest" and was followed by L." R. Alderman on arithmetic. Prof. Al derman made this usually dry subject bristle with the electric touches of a born educator. The Institute greatly apreciated Prof. Sheldon' talk on geography and are still puzzling their brains over Instructor Alderman s red cube. A chorus of girls from McClure school sang "Rose of the Moorland," and an encore was repaid by A Flower Song." This class showed the fine training of Miss Utzkiger who has charge of the Institute music. Dr. Sheldon continued the instruc tion in the advanced section by illu strating a few. of the vital factors which condition memory.

" 843 Commercial Street to Professors Sheldon, Travers and Al derman. At the afternoon session the Insti tute ooened by singing "Flow Gently Sweet Afton," Mr.' Charles H. Jones-, leader, with . Mrs. Huden, accom nanist: a piano solo, "Love Song, from Mary Smith, was finely render ed by Miss Wilma Young and in re- i- ... sponse ,to a strong encore, miss Young, played "Spring Song" by Liebling. ' Mr. Charles H. Jones of Salem was here eiven the floor in behalf of the Oregon Teachers' Monthly. L. R. Alderman, Eugene superin tendent, present the subject of "Agn culture," giving a most interesting ac count of a unique and successful, prac tical experiment in agriculture where children learned by doing. A song was then rendered by strong chorus from Taylor school, "Heigh Ho! Mey June," a spirited number. The class showed their ex cellent training by Miss Barker; and the accompanist was Miss Miller Dr. II. D. Sheldon then followed withn excellent talk on the "Note RooV Problem in the Teaching of History." Pr6f. Alderman followed with "Some ' Dont's ." valuable in their wealth of suggestions. - In the primary and intermediate division Prof. L. R. Traver gave an able exposition on , reading in the primary grades, calling attention to the points of accuracy, independence, distinctness and tone and clearly illu strating each point Prof. Sheldon concluded the after noon primary section woric wun a talk on "Child Study" , which was thoroughly appreciated. The evening session was aevotea to the programmed discourse of Pro fessor Sheldon upon the working and achievements of the National Educa tional Association, at Los Angeles, last year; and his summary of that great event, where 15,000 teachers were assembled, was replete with in terest for the last one of his hearers last night, and did immense credit to his faculty for carrying massed In formation and intricate facts through time and' delivering them with pun gent interest and, exact clarity to de lighted listeners a year later. ; Miss Annette1 Stinsonj'gUve an in strumental solo entitled "La Pappilon, by Laverelle; arid to cordial plaudits responded with the "Farewell"; both numbers being charmingly played and happily received. ., ; Professor Traver prefaced an earn est plea for culture, with some humor ous stories from his, apparently, in exhaustible fund of fanecdote, 4and then passed to an elaboate and start ling explosion of the vast premium, in actual 'money expenditure on the vices and follies and foibles of life, as against that expended for the main tenance of the finer cults of life, and education particularly. It was intense ly interesting to its last word. This morning the congregated teachers will meet at the Lurline dock at the foot of Eleventh street, to board the fine launch, Pilot No. 2, for a cruise to the Northshore points of interest, and including the jetties and Fort Stevens on the home-stretch, providing the weather is propitious. In default of which, adjournment wiu be taken at once to the court house, where the suspended program of the forenoon will be taken up and dispos ed of, in time for noon adjournment to the oarlors of the First Methodist Church, at which comfortable rendez vous, the lunches of the throng, pre pared for the abandoned bay trip, will be discussed with all the pleasure of a picnic anyway. for todav is as - o - follows: 9:00.
