Lost In The Shuffle In the press of a great mass of matter such as fell to the lot of the Astorian reporters on the Fourth, the paragraph telling of the presence of the Odd Fellows, in line of pa rade, was unfortunately lost; and the Astorian hastens to correct the mischance, by averring that the 70 (raters made a fine appearance, and the only fraternl showing, In the long procession. They were con cpicuous for the orderliness of their line-up and the precision they main tained throughout.

Company in this city, whose pocket was picked on the "Fourth," report that yesterday afternoon's mail brought to him the bank-book he lost on that day. There was no note of explanation; and the restora tion of his property cannot be' ac counted (or on any other hypothesis than that the man who took it was afraid to carry it any longer, know ing that the bank had been apprised of the loss. , He count himself for tunate to have received it back. Voluntary Bankruptcy Word reached this city yesterday that Charles II. Heilborn & Com pany, the well known furniture mer chants of Astoria, had been declared voluntary bankrupts in 'the federal district court at Portland yesterday morning. The referee in bankruptcy named by the court is Judge Chas. II. Page, of this city, and that gentle man at once named G. O. Moen as his representative in charge of the store and property of the firm, until the trustee in bankruptcy shall be designated. Mr. Moen is now in charge. Was Fined $50- S. Inluli, the man arrested by Sheriff Pomeroy for indecent expo sure on the streets, was fined $50 by Justice Goodman yesterday. Inluli made no defense and pleaded guilty when asked what he had to say. Not having the money to pay his fine, Inluli was at once taken to the coun ty jail to serve out a term of 25 days, which, it is hoped by the county offic ials, will prove not only a lesson to the prisoner but to others of his ilk is well. Last evening Inluli' fishing partner succeeded in raising $50 and the prisoner passed it over.

Sherman .treasurer. , Float Is No More The "Gateway of the Columbia" Clatsoo county's float at the Rose festival and the piece de resistance of the parade in Astoria on the Fourth of July, is a thing of the past. It was not possible to find a place big enough in the city to store it away, unless some warehouse were hired for the purpose, and therefore the work of dismantling it was begun and finished yesterday. The things that were meant to be sea-horses were taken down, the little boat was removed, and while the men in charge were planning what to do with the rest of the papier mache, some "kids" came along and started a (work of devastation. Now there isn't much left of the whole "Gate way." It cost $600. A Welcome Visitor E. T. Judd Sr., one of the leading farmers and dairymen of "old Mar ion," and the father of Messrs. Judd of this city, is in Astoria for a few days' outing and enjoying himself as he always does down here. Mr. Judd has a warm spot for Astoria because it has no warm spots itself. The weather here charms him dowri at least once every year, and he gen- erally takes in the coast resorts when ' he comes. Mr. Judd is ' one of ; the notable figures in the fine stock industry of the State and ; has for "years been an authority on racing and draft horses, but he has retired from that specialty and gone in for ! dairying with his customary through- i .'. ,.,:, ness, . v Fishermen Make Escape- Two Brooktield fishermen were ar rested "by Water Bailiff Settem Sun day niuht off from Tongue Point be cause thev had no number on their boat, though osensibly fishing under a license, held in the name of John Risto, The water bailiff fetched the men to thi city and, wishing to act in a kindly and decen manner toward them, he tightly locked their boat to a wharf with a chain and padlock and permitted the men to sleep in, the boat. The only other plan wa to put them in jail. Sometime during the night the men broke-the chain and escaped with the boat. That they will be captured again nis said by Mr. Settem to be practically a foregone conclusion, and this time.jt is expected, the charge against them will be made as serious as possible under the circumstances. Sure To Be Missed Word reached this city yesterday that Harry Blanchard, ' the well known and popular purser of the steamer Hassalo, of the O. R. & N. service, has resigned his position and will engage in other pursuits. The matter is not accounted for, so his hosts of friends are at a loss to un derstand his leaving a . situation wherein he was looked upon as a per manent fixture so long as he was alive.. He has been on the Willam ette and Columbia rivers since his early youth (and he's not ao old, at that), and has myriads of friends near and far who will earnestly regret to hear of his lapse to other lines. He was one of those men who fitted ex actly in his place and he never for got the' welfare of his company nor that of his passengers, and when, that is said there remains but little else to. say. Steamboat Man Ill Eugene Brock a well known steam boat enginer on the Columbia river for the last 30 years, was yesterday removed to St Mary's hospital Dr. Estes,, who has been his attending physician for the past year thought it advisable to have him where he can receive the best of attendance. Mr. Brock has been ailing for the past year of general debility and old age, and when seen yesterday stated that he thought the hospital was the best place for him and remarked that he already felt better since being there and expects to be out in a short time. He thinks it is doubtful however if he will ever again Be able to resume his old steamboat life, foe he says he Is getting old,- and will never regain strength enough, to take up the ac tive work of an engineer. Before his illness, the last position he held was on the custom boat Patrol. . For The Regatta . It is now known definitely that there is to be another splendid pres entation of the great Sangerfest at the coming regatta in Astoria. Dr. Emil Enna has been in the city for several days in this behalf, and J. O. Berg, of Portland, representing the Nerwegian and Swedish elements of the fine group of singers, arrived down on Sunday last, and a general conference has been -going on,, as among the leading singers, members of the various bodies and the civic and other agencies-that are to con tribute to the affair, including Mayor Wise 'and the regatta com mittee, and the Chamber of Com merce officials; and as a result of it all, the pleasant assurance is given out that it will come off without fail; and those who listened to the magni ficent music last year, known just what to" expect in the' way of delight ful diversion. . A Quiet Fourth The police and sheriff's office had little difficulty in handling the crowds on the Fourth, and practicaly no ar rests were made. As a matter of fact there were many trivial violation of ordinances, but as a rule the authori ties were willing to turn their eyes the other way just because it was a period of exuberant patriotism and general joy. However, there were many warnings given and as a rule the turbulent element was kept within proper bounds. The number of bad accidents 'was surprisingly low when the amount of giant fire crack ers, bombs, revolvers, and cannons that were used is considered. Of course there were many slight 1 acci dents. "As a 'sane and safe' Fourth the celebration in Astoria was per haps a horrible example of what a polite, rational celebration ought not to be," complained one man yester day, but as a general good time it was what the small, boys called a lallapalazza. Fishing Picks Up There is now said to be a reason able certainty that the fishing season, late as it is, will turn out even bet ter than that of last year. According to Water Bailiff Settem and others who are familiar with conditions on the river, the fishing is improving ev ery day, and while the fish now being taken are small, they are of fine quality. ' Becauitt of their size they are taken by the canneries. These mall fish are of the size that should have been here along in May, and it is presumed that the larger ones will get into the river late in the season. along in August, perhaps, when the water is warm. In that case, the big fish will hardly be as firm and of the same excellence a if they were tak en in cold water; and as a conse quence are better for the canner than for the cold storage. Thus it looks as if the present size of the fish, and the fact that the big ones will probably be taken in warm water are facts that will conduce to make It a far better season for the canneries than for the cold storage plants. After 25 Years1 Tomorrow evening' express out of the city will bear away from As toria, for new home-making abroad, Mrs. Jennie Busey, ,than whom there is no one more closely identified with the social and school life of Astoria for the past 25 years and more. Dur ing all these years this accomplished matron has devoted her energies and fine capacities to the welfare of the children of the city and section teach ing almost uninterruptedly for the 10 months' term of the city schools and then putting in three more months in the country. She is known in every home in the land hereabout, and, is admired and respected on all sides. During these long years she ' has reared a fine family of her own, and so wrought splendidly for ' her , own and for others. She will be sin cerely missed in Astoria, where she counts her friends everywhere she turns, and. all will be glad to hear of her continued excellent health and abundant prosperity Mrs. Busey goes to Kent, Wash., and will malce her home there. Showers of Rice When Miss Edna Kidd, of South Portland, and her sister, Miss Eva, got off the Undine Friday evening and daintily hastened into the Kamm line office, they were surprised to see all of the officers of the Undine lined up in stately order at the office door. Inside the office Ed. Donnelly, the assistant freight clerk, was looking out and also wondering what the matter could be. As Miss Kidd step ped into the office to greet her friend, Mr". 'Donnelly, they both were show ered with handsful of rice from the line of Undine officers. Miss Kidd waited only to emit one little gasp of startled surprise before she dropped her hand baggage and fled. Mean time rice was flying everywhere. If there was hot a bushel of the white grains thrown, there must have been at least three pecks, and a goodly share of it fell about ,Mr. Donnelly's shoulders. Later Mr. Donnelly de nied that there was any occasion for throwing the race at this time. Miss Kidd and her sister spent the Fourth in Astoria very enjoyably and yester day morning went up to Skamokawa to visit with relatives until Thursday, when they will return to Portland. On Thursday Mr. Donnelly is also going to Portland to spend a' few days. O. N. G. Officers Arrive Capt. M. Marcellus, one of the sur geons of Oregon National Guard, and First ' Lieutenant Richard W. Holman, of Salem, arrived in the city yesterday on the noon train, and were met at the depot by a special com mittee consisting of Charles H. Ab ercrombie, Karl Knobloch, G. R. Os borne and Lee Cadaneau, represent ing the local O, N; G. forces here, in embryo, and the visiting officers were properly bestowed for their stay here. Last evening and afternoon 32 who had sinned up for the new As- jtoria company,' appeared for exami nation, ten of them during the after noon yesterday. They met at the city hall, and the work will proceed todav and tomorrow if necessary. On Thursday the new company will Be duly organized and on the evening of that day will elect their official staff, Lieutenant Holman serving as presi dent of the company assembly for that purpose. It. is desired that all the applicants who have as yet not been examined to be at the city hall today, where apt. Marcellus will re main to examine the prospective members of the new company. "Any one who has not signed the original application and who wishes to join are requested. to call at the city hall. Those who cannot find time during the day can apply in the evening. Present Your Bills. The Fourth of July committee de sires anyone who has bills against it should present them at once to either of the undersigned. JOS. L. KLINE, Chairman, CHAS.-W. H ALDERMAN, Sec. MR. BROWNELL GETS APPOINTMENT RETURNED LAST NIGHT FROM HILLSBORO WITH FORMAL COMMISSION FOR DEPUTY DISTRICT ATTORNEYSHIP. . Howard Brownetl went to Hills boro yesterday to consult with Dis trict Attorney Tongue in relation, t the appointment of a deputy district attorney for Astoria, and returned last night with the commission for the place in hi pocket. Mr. Tongue had announced to one or two men hi this .city by letter that he intended to appoint Mr. Brownell to the position. For several weeks past there have been intimations that the appoint ment would in all probability go the way it finally did, though strong ef forts were made by the many friends of J. C. McCue in his behalf. The district attorney came down here .one day last week and looked the field over, but he apparently found that . the more he was willing to consult with the local politicians the more, certain it was that his task in making a selection would become all the harder. That the appointment of Mr. Brownell will give satisfaction is the confident prediction of his many friends. ' It is hinted that one reason why Mr. McCue's candidacy did not re ceive stronger consideration lay in the fact that he already holds a legislative position by election, and that the constitution forbids the holding of more than one public of fice at a time; and hence the appoint- ment of Mr. McCue at this time would have meant the necessity of his resignation from the deputyshhs at the time of the next session of the legislature, in the event that he chose to hold that position instead of the deputyship. One or more " lawyers had even gone further, and" averred that it would not have been legally possible for him to have held the two places at the same timt, entirely irre spective of the actual sessions of the legislature. At all events Mr. McCoe apparently filled his term as deputy with credit to himself and satisfaction to the community, and the friends of Mr. Brownell are expecting the same of him.
