very pronounced liking for the family,

known very shortly.

Wil! Know Today
There was very general interest all
over the city yesterday as to just
what the friends of local option here
about intended to do, and it was ex
pected the four petitions for pre
cincts 2, 3, 4 and 5 would be filed by 5
o'clock last evening. But they have
until the close of business today to
file, and arc still debating the limits
that shall be subjected to the vote.
t is probable that precincts 4 and 5
will be abandoned aijd the contest nar
rowed to 2 and 3, in order to meet,
that far at least, the wishes of the
business people who have protested
against the submission of any of the
petitions at this time, and to balance
ihe scone of 'operations to the field
covered by those who desire to open
up precincts 6 and 7.

New Boat, if Necessary-
President William Anderson, of Hie
Deen River Navigation Company, was
n the citv yesterday, and informed a
reporter of the Astorian, that an ex
pert was due here from rortianu to
day, to look over the steamer Gen
eral Washington with a view to deter
mining what changes were necessary
in the remodelling of the boat to get
a better rate of speed out of her; or
to find out if such an achievement is
possible. If not, the company in
tends to build a new boat on lines that
will ensure speed needed for the run,
and to place the G. W. on the excur
sion and towing end of the company's
business. He says that any, and all
talk of pulling off the line of his com
pany or its boats, is all moonshine.
They intend, to stay with the business
and build it up with the best craft and
service they can command.

Mayor Resigns Because Town Voted
Local Option.
CHICAGO, April 30. A despatch
to the Tribune from Mattoon, 111.,
says:
In accordance with his statement,
made four weeks before the local op
tion election which was held on April
7, that, he 'would resign if Mattoon
cut out its nineteen saloons, Mayor
Lewis L. Lehman tendered his resig
nation at the meeting of the city
council last night and it was ac
cepted. .
In his statement Mayor Lehman
took the stand without the $19,000 in
revenue derived from the saloon
licenses the finances' -of the city would
be so impaired that it would be, im
possible to carry out various public
imorovements .and, inasmuch as he
had accepted the nomination and was
elected by an overwhelming majority
a vear affo on a platform .that called
for improvements he. believed he
could' not carry out the wishes of
the people. The retiring mayor is
tViMttrrfmiit thp. state as a
IVUV-'U w
financier. He is not friendly to sa
toons but considered this an inoppor
tune time for Mattoon to get rid of
them. A special election will be, held
to Choose his successor.
ume m the last few weeks and some
of them are said to be almost tragic
ia their earnestness. The writers ar
gue that the President is in the thick
of his campagn for the establishment
of complete government control over
interstate commerce and other re
forms; that it is irnpossibel to trans
fer this work successfully to another
since Mr. Roosevelt's personality is a
powerful factor m achieving this suc
cess; that the republican party can
not afford to -nominate, any man who
is not sure ot election; ami mai m-
President is the only Republican who
would be certain to defeat any other
candidate. In all of his replies to
such letters the President simply re
minds his correspondents of his for
mer declarations on the subject ana
reiterates that his position is unchanged.

WASHINGTON, April 30.-That

urging President Roosevelt to run
again is asserted on good authority.
These letters come from all parts of
the country, it is said, from members
of all political parties and in, them
various arguments are used by the
writers to induce Mr. Roosevelt to
again accept a nomination.
