Teachers' Exams
The teachers' examinations which
commenced in the office of the county
superintendent yesterday morning arc
hardly a well attended as had been
expected. Six started in on the ex
animations for state certificates, and
( for the county. It had been ex
pected that some of the recent grad
uates from the Astoria high school
would take the county examinations,
but none of them made an appear
ance. Mist Warren said that at far
as yet appears the examintion papers
arc apparently quite fair.

yesterday from the steamer Alliance,
on her arrival from Coos Bay, after
.1 pleasant cruise as the guest of Cap '
tain Olscn and of her husband, the
H-eond officer of that popular pas
senger packet. She left out on Sun

A Jolly House Party
Mrs, Dr, B, Owens Adair is just
now playing hostess to a large
house party at her fine farm home
over on the west side, and doing it
with all the jolly gusto for which she
is famous. The' party consists of
Captain and Mrs, Olin Hosford and
Miss Hosford; Mrs. Lewis R. Fields;
Professor and Mrs. C. A. Grout; Mrs.
Harkins and Miss Jessie Harkins;
Mrs. E. T. Peterson, and Mrs Dr.
Abix and son Victor, all of Portland.
At last accounts the visitors were
making ready to go down into the
hayfields and harvest the crop, under
the spirited leadership of their
hostess.
Appointments Announced
Announcement was made of the re
suits of the recent competitive drill
at the meeting of the First Company,
Coast Artillery, last night. C. L.
Patient Is Better
D. J. Abbey, the man who was
discSvered to be sick with smalipox
about a week ago, is taid by Dr. Clara
Rcames, the city physician, to be im
proving rapidly. Dr. Reames said
last evening that the quarantine on
the rooming house where Abbey is
confined will probably be raised by
Saturday, and then the place will be
thoroughly fumigated. Abbey is
likely to be more or less scarred by
I the disease, as it had taken a bad hold
on him before he received any treat
tncnt. The pest house has now been
iplaced in good shape and an effort
j will be made to keep it in readiness in
jihe event that other cases of con
tagious diseases break out.
Soldier Is Fined
V. Jackson, a soldier from Fort)
Stevens, was arrested on a charge of
drunkene! and in police court yes
terday afternoon was fined, with the
alternative of spending a few days
in the city lockup. Jackson was at
urea in civilian ciotnes. ue was so
drunk that Patrolmen Wilson and
Houghten couldn't waken him. He
was placed in a wheelbarrow and
wheeled to the city jail. The police
officers complained to Judge Ander
son thai some of the soldiers from
Fort Stevens are giving much
trouble lately, and it was said that
most of the trouble comes from a new
lot of them. The older ones behave
themselves decently when they come
to town. As a rule the officers are
quite willing to let the men from the
fort enjoy themselves as they will as
long as they keep within reasonable
bounds.

On a Business Trip
One of Portland's leading mer
chants, Mr. H. C. Wortman, of the
famous house of Olds, Wortman &
King, arrived in the city yesterday, to
confer with A. Dunbar and others in
the matter of the rehabiliation of the
business so abruptly checked by
Monday's fire. It is hoped the in
surance adjusters will meet today and
dispose of that element of the affair,
which will clear the way for an early
resumption of the business under its
old and popular direction. Mr. Wort
man is much pleased with the com
mercial' showing that Astoria makes
and had many friendly expression in
her behalf. He will be here for sev
eral days, as he and his firm are close-
y identified with the A. Dunbar Com
pany interests.
Correction Asked ,and .Made-
Some days ago the Astorian had
occasion to deal, editorially, with cer
tain recent history made here by the
Astoria & Columbia River Railroad
Company and the O. R. & N. Com
pany, and, in the course of its present
ment of the, then, presumed facts, said
that ifwas not now possible to go to
either office here and buy straight, full
transportation to distant, or foreign
points at first hand, even over the
trans-continental lines represented
here by each office, but that one
must take an order on the Portland
station for such long distance service,
etc., etc.; but, since making that sup
posedly correct statement, the As
torian has been convinced that it
erred in that particular; that in so
erring it did an injustice to the com
panies quoted, and since it does not
desire to do any man nor any busi
ness injury or injustice, it now and
here corrects the misconception, de
precates the error, and will seek to
avoid them in the future.

trict, spent the day in Astoria, yes

prominent citizen of Oskaloosa, Iowa,
who is summering in Oregon, and
both gentlemen were happily pre

and the country and people generally

their own live community up under

Need Patrol Wagon-
There is hardly a day passes but
the need for a patrol wagon in As
toria is emphasized. At the present
time the police officers on duty at
night seem to have a wheelbarrow
which thev brinsr into use and thus
prisoners who can't or won't walk are
wheeled in limp state to the citys
bastile. That is hard on the officers
and somewhat hard on the prisoners,
though perhaps the latter objection
doesn't count very heavily. But in
the day time the matter assumes an
other phase, for then it is that the
eyes of visitors and residents, men
and women and children, are fre
quently assailed with the sight of
drunken beasts being carted through
the main thoroughfares of the town
in express wagons, or in any venicie
that happens to be handy. Probably
citizens have a right to expect that
such sights be not thrown up into
their faces. It is. common for cities
like Astoria to have a wagon which
can be used either as a patrol wagon j
or ambulance, and the expense is not
great for maintaining such a service.
boldly itarted to return to this city j
yestvday with the evfdent intention
of taking the evening train for Port
land. Sheriff Pomeroy learned that
Thomas was coming across the river
on the Major Guy Howard and went
to the dock to meet the steamer, but
at first sight there was nothing to be
seen of the man. Therefore the sheriff
went on board and made a search and
found his man hiding in a small
room. He was taken to the county
jail and locked up. It seems that
Thomas did not leave alone, for a
woman crossed tne river with him
and she was with him again yester
day. She had two trun'cs and the
check for one of them ws found in
Thomas' possession. Just what dis
position was made of the stolen
goods is not known, but it is alleged
that Thomas sold or traded them off
while on the other side of the river.
He is an ex-soldier and it is under
stood that he appeared at Fort Co-
umbia and finaCy was ordered from
the grounds there. Thomas was a
member of the surveying force which
is laying the line for the electric
railway to Seaside, and the man
whom he is accused of robbing was
for a time his room-mate. The wom
an in the case also procured a war
rant for Thomas' arrest, charging him
with the theft of one of her trunks.

In conversation with Dr. Em3
Enna, the noted pianist, composer
and teacher, yesterday, that gentle
man spoke earnestly and kindly of th
status of this city in the world of
music, and glowingly of her future, &
her people adhere closely to the stand
ards they have already chosen. Among
other things, Dr. Enna said:
"The notoriety the city of Astoria
has received in the musical journal
and magazines, the past year, has fix
ed its position as a music center, antf
the question as to the ability of the
city to entertain musical convention
is without doubt solved; her location
is ideal and the surroundings are:
beautiful in all respects and to a high
degree idealistic to the visiting
musician.
"The Norwegian Sangerfest of last
season gave us an excellent start;
and was followed by the formation of
The Astoria Philharmonic Society;
and the coming events, such as the
Scandinavian Sangerfest during the
coming Regatta, and later the con
cert of the Philharmonic Society hi
November, all Of which will bring
notable soloists here; the coming
May Festival of 1909 under the
auspices of the same society, and the
strong probabilities of the visit of the
the Chicago Symphony Orchestra
during the pendency of that festival;
with the formation of the local Elks
orchestra which is doing excellent
work, and the spirit tha seems to have
taken hold of the local bands that
have given some very notable con
certs during the summer, convince
me that the people of the city are
admirers of good music, and will, at
any time, support good music. I do
not believe, in the course of my musi
cal career, I have spent a pleasanter
season than the last season here, in
Astoria; the people here want good
music, and i have never missed their
presence at my musical undertak
ings, l gave about 1U lecture recitala
here and appeared in about a dozes ;
concerts besides, and I have never
seen the time that the place was not
filled with an attentive audience.
"It will not be neecssary for stu
dents to go away from the home dur
ing' the coming season to study mu
sic; there is a staff of good teacher
here already and I believe Mr. Frank
Eichenlaub, the violinist, and Miss
Mary Conyers, the voice teacher, in
tend to spend certain days here
teaching; and the coming of those
notable teachers may mean the start
of a Conservatory of Music; any
way I hope so. The city will n
doubt take hold of such an undertak
ing should it come under considera
tion. I must admit that I hold a very
warm spot in my heart for the people
of Astoria, as I have always received
good words and excellent support
for my musical work and interest
here'
