They were return ing in from a night's fishing and as Pckuri was lowering the sail the boom swung around and knocked him into the water. The blow must have stunned him, as he sank immc- Idiately and did not arise. The body was not seen again and had not been I discovered at nightfall. He was a native of Finlajid and had lived here live or six ears. What Experting Costs Says the .Willapa Harbor Pilot: Ceorge P. Clark, the expert account ant, who is now working on the county records, in response to an In quiry, stated yesterday that it would probably cost Pacific county about $300 yearly to have the records gone over every six months. Mr. Clark Is now regularly engaged by several of the counties in Oregon for a semi annual inspection of the county books, and the offices are" always very careful to have everything in ship shape when he is due. Recently the Clatsop county officials were sit ting up nights to find an error of one cent, as Mr. Clark is due to look over the books there soon. Knew His Name "Me name is not 'O'Hone; 'tis O'Hooney," indignately asserted the prisoner at the bar before Judge An derson in police court yesterday af ternoon. Chief of Police Gammal ar rested Mr. O'Hooney on a charge of begging, and he turned out to be an ugly beggar. The prisoner has lost one foot and has left only the part of the other, and under these circum stances he would have ordinarily been ignored or dealt with, very lightly by the, police, but his language was foul and his attitude so bold and vie ious that it was deemed the part of isdom to take him into custody. Judge Anderson imposed a fine $40 or twenty days, and O'Hooney took Hobson's choice of the twenty days. Insure Your Sox ruv yvui wm. vnbUTGur Wear "Holeproof" Soi. They are insured.

Ireland, once the admired editor of the Morning Astorian and happily remembered in this city in many other ways, has the following to say in his paper the Moro Ob server, anent a little fire story the Astorian published last week: "As toria proposes having a group of old time fire fighters a the coming re- igatta. It would be pleasant but for l the absence of Capt. Flavel, J. G. ; Hustler, Adam Van Dusen, John iBadollett, A. J. Megler, and Oh, so many other; old comrades, over on j the other1 side of the great divide. That's what makes us feel lonely in Astoria." i One By One They Appear j Charles H. Haddix, of the cus toms service, and a loyal Elk, came j in on the noon express, yesterday, from Dallas, Tex., where with all Elk jtlom, he has been in attendance at the Grand Lodge of that order. He says Woman Insane- Mrs. Mary Smith, an elderly worn an who has lived some 16 or 17 miles out in the Lewis and Clark district for a good many years, was adjudged insane yesterday by Judge Tren chard, and 'will be taken to the state asylum for the insane at Salem today. Dr. Estes made the examination for the unfortunate woman. His report states that. the cause of her mental derangement was "religion." While religious dementia frequently occurs when the mind has been weakened from other causes, in this case there seems to be much ground for ascrib ing her insanity directly to religious broodings and meditation. Mrs, Smith is a widow, 65 years of age, and has been affected for the past five years. Her mind now is completely shattered, and all her hallucinations and mental processes run along re igious lines. She was brought to town yesterday morning easily enough because she was told she was going to church. Not wishing to lock her up in the county jail over night, Sheriff Pomeroy permitted the worn an to be taken to an hotel, where an attendant stayed with her. The un fortunate woman caused no little trouble, and the sheriff was appealed to several times to lend his aid. She tried to throw herself out "of a win dow. The present violent attack has lasted for over two weeks. The sher iff had influence over her because he was Introducd to her as a minister. Subscribe to the Morning Astoria, ALEX TAGG The rather startling discovery was made yesterday that David J. Abbey, who has been sick in his room for the past seven or eight days,-is suffering from a well developed case of small pox. Dr. Clara Reames, the city phy sician, was notified of the man's ill ness yesterday morning and at once went to his bedside. Dr. Reames at once saw that he was suffering from smallpox, and measures were imme diately taken to safeguard the others in the bouse from infection. Abbey is one of the foremen at the Clatsop mills, and also is the proprie tor of the "Chrystal" rooming house, which is over a saloon. Abut a week ago Abbey was taken ill, but he neg lected to call in a physician. There are five roomers in the "Crystal," but as far as is known, none of them has been directly exposed to the disease. The housekeeper, a woman, has been exposed, however, it is understood. Dr. Reames at once began prepa rations to have Abbey removed to the pest house, which is out near the Wireless station, but an inspection of the place showed it to be utterly unfit to place a patient in it. All the windows are broken out and in many ways it was found to be utterly unfit for habitation, therefore it was found necessary to keep Abbey right where he was. Dr. Reames vaccinat ed all of the five roomers and thor oughly fumigated their clothes and the entire house. There is thought to be comparatively little danger of a spread of the disease, for more by good luck than anything else it ap pears as if the persons who have been exposed are only one or two in number. : Where Abbey caught the disease is a question. As far as is known there have been no infected persons here. It is said, however, that there is a strong likelihood that in this case the infection was brought down from Portland, where there have been a grat many cases during the summer, though not of a virulent nature. Abbey's case was discovered when, on Friday evening, he called in a friend of his, a drug store man. He saw that there was something ser ious the matter and reported the case to the city physician. it CONFECTIONERY 'Fresh Chocolates Candies, Jetc, Made fresb every dayjln out own factory. 843 Commercial' Street ' CHILD IS RESTORED TO MOIHEB HON.

Charles Wright and wife to Frank S. Lewis, lots 32 to 36 in tract 2, block Some days ago the Astorian hai considerable to say about certain in equities attaching to the case is which Ira E. Gates, a drugzist in the medical department 'at Fort Stevens, sought to deprive his divorced wife,. Mrs. Anna Marie Gates, of the cus tody of the only child of the union, a handsome little boy, which had beea awarded to Mrs. Gates in the decree granted her and which was not eve answered, let alone contested, by the delinquent husband. It is glad now to give the pleasant aftermath of the story," and to say that a host of friends of Mrs. Gates rallied to her cause in the premise and sent in a plea for the restitution of the baby boy, that was promptly granted by Hon. Thomas A. McBride, m open court at Hillsboro, on Friday last; the venerable jurist so modified his previous order as to require the relinquishment of the child by -the excellent lady to whose care it "baa been committed, and granting the mother permission to leave the juris diction of the court with the infant at any time. In obedience to this command Sheriff M, R. Pome roy at the instance of Mrs, Gates' attorney, C. H. Abercrombie, and under the terms of the later ruling, went for the boy and deliv ered him, finally, to the eager and grateful custody of the devoted moth er, whose happiness and gratitude were good to see. ' Mrs. Gates left the city last evening for San Francisco, where she will enter the home of her brotbet ames F. Hanigan, an artisan of that city, and where -she will be happier nd safer than she has been for some years. On her departure, Mrs. Gates found great difficulty in even nearly express ing her deep sense of gratitude for the loyal good will and kindnesses shown her in Astoria during tie season of her trial and trouble. That same good will is sure to follow her to her new and happier home in the south. The news of the pleasant change in the court's order lias beea known here since Friday night, but was withheld upon request. 28, Olney's Astoria; $10. Mary A.
