Besides the family, only a few friends were present, and all joined in wishing the bride and groom a prosperous and long wedded life, A luncheon was served. Coebel At The Grand For a realistic and deeply interest ing exposition of startling, tragic events, the moving picture present ment of the Coebel-Taylor election, feud, killing, trial and acquittal, as the great story developed on Ken tucky soil, at the "Grand" theatre now, transcends anything that has been offered the Astoria public in this line. The house was crowded to its doors last night. Hartman Arrested Fred Hartman, for whom a war rant was issued in Justice court Tues day, was arrested by Constable Sayer. Mr. Hartman, who is a farmer in the Svenson distrist, came to the city yesterday and was surprised when the warrant was served upon him.

Have No Water. j The residents along Scow Bay are ! having an unpleasant time these days because of a total lack of water. The water piper have been broken by the Irving slide and it is said that all of the homes on the bay except one are cut off from the water supply. The water commission has given orders to run a pipe over from Exchange street but there seems to be a delay in completing the work, The Scow Hay residents are now carrying their water : supply from neighboring houses. Error Gladly Corrected Through mis-information received at this office, the Astorian was led to publish the statement that the Flavel Land & Development Company in this county, was involved in the forthcoming mortgage sale of the Flavel Hotel property, in the inter ests of the Marblchead Savings Bank. The Flavel Land & Development Co., nor its holdings, are in any way con nected with the matter and are abso lutely free from the encumbrances and action at law incident to the transaction alluded to. A Quick Job ' ' : ' Messrs. Frederickson Brothers, the well known contracting carpenters, began last night, after the show, at the Jewel theatre, to rebuild the floor of that popular place of amuse ment, by tearing it out and inserting a series of inclined planes upon which in the future the floor will rest, giv ing the audiences a better chance to a a . ! see the picture displays over eacn others', heads and which will be greatly appreciated by the patrons of the house. The Work has to be done by I o'clock this afternoon, and there will be no delay about it. A Bold Robbery Yesterday morning about 10:30 o'clock, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred W, Beck, at the corner of Sixth and Lexington avenue, was invaded by some nervy thief, while Mrs. Beck was, engaged in the rear of the nrcmscs with her household duties, and her jewel case, containing rings, pins, a watch, and other trifles of value, and her purse and money from another receptacle, were stolen out right, the thief disappearing without being seen, with any certainty, by anvone in the neighborhood. The loss amounts to $50 or more and is felt more for" the intrinsic value of the things taken than for their money values. The police were notified, but up to going to press, no develop ments had been reported. It was one of the boldest thefts known in this city for 'many months. Matter Happily Closed Mrs. James Mcintosh, of Olympia, Wash., who has been in the city for a few days, the guest of her brother, J. A. Monroe, with a view to making new arrangements with regard to the piledriver bearing that name, left last evening on the steamer Lurline for her home, having satisfactorily closed a new deal whereby Mr. Monroe re tains the fine outfit and who will im mediately prosecute all his contracts and engagements therewith. It had been the intention of Mrs. Mcintosh to have the machine sent around to Olympia, but abandoned the idea when she found the situation so promising for Mr. Monroe- and it re mains here, much to the satisfaction of Mr. Monroe and all who know how faithfully he has worked it. He has his hands full of new work and will get at it without loss of further time, , ' ' ' " . .' - Good, Old-Fashioned Time Dr. B. Owens-Adair is never happy unless she is gathering her friends around her at her snug farm home at "Sunnymeade," and is always de vising schemes to this end. Yester day she had about 25 good friends out there for a real, old-fashioned wool-picking and the pleasures inci dent to the occasion were amplified by. one of her generous chicken din ners to which were, added all the charms of home fruits, home vege tables, home cream, and the spontan ALEX TAGG Ice Cream 25c qt.

Need Building Laws account of street improvements. Thej At the meeting of the common' city treasurer also, has on hand in ' cj, Tuesday night Dr. Logan readiness to pay out me sum oi v, 725,59, for which calls have been made for the warrants. This sum is in the general fund and interest on it has stopped from the time the calls were made. It is rather sur prising to note the long periods of time that some men will leave money in the city treasury when' it '2s due and payable to them. One or more of the contractors now have pretty large sums there that is not drawing any interest, and some small sums have been there so long that perhaps the creditors have almost forgotten that there is money coming to them. Meantime the longer the money stays the more bother it is to the city, who naturally likes to have things "clean ed up" as fast as is reasonably con venient or possible. . Company's New Officers At the regular meeting of the First Company, Coast, Artillery! last night the organization resolved itself into a company meeting and selected offi cers. Private Sam ' Kroschel was elected clerk of the .company, and Second Lieutenant Sutton was elect ed company treasurer. Captain Ab ercrombie by virtue of his office as head of the organization, also. The two men elected were chosen by ac clamation. The meeting also adopt ed bye-laws and a constiution, and selected Foard & Stokes' hall as the permanent abode of the company, Mr. Stokes having agreed to fix the hall up in a suitable manner. It was! on September 16th. Miss Raymond also decided to hold an encampment, Us a bright actress of unusual merit though the date was not definitely and has done a great deal towards set. Probably it will be about the making "The Missouri Girl" the pop first of October. The boys voted a ular play it is today. ' She stands voluntary levy of 50 cents each for the purpose of defraying the ex penses of the encampment, which will be from Saturday night to Monday morning. It is also proposed to fix up the hall into a sort of club rooms, and thus make it an attractive place for the men. Twenty-five Years Ago Mr. George Kaboth, members of the cify council and one of Astoria's best known citizens, will today ob-j serve the twenty-fifth anniversary of his coming to Astoria. On Septem ber 10, just 25-years ago, Mr. Kaboth came to this city from San Francisco on the steamer State of California, the same vessel that is now running between Portland and San Francisco via Astoria, Mr. Kaboth liked the possibilities that he saw in this vicin ity and made up his mind to settle down in Astoria, and here he has re- Never in the history of Astoria have you bought meat as cheap as this.

"There should be restrictions placed on building," he said, "Only two or more story structures should be permitted in certajn portions of the city. Now any kind of a shack may be put up anywhere." Dr. Logan -referred to the two little shacks at "Tombstone corner," as being almost a disgrace to the main street of the city. "They're not fit for anything but dog houses," said another councilman. Mr. Ander son, Jthe city auditor, explained that under the present condition of the ordinances it is not possible to re fuse permits for any and all kinds of buildings. There seems to be an im perative need for a change in the building laws and the council appar ently is in a mood to adopt some suitable ordinance. At the present time one man might construct a $100,000 building on a prominent street, while. another man might erect a $45 shack right next to him, a disgrace to the city, a menace from fires, and a means of lessening the valuation of all properties in the lo cality. , "MISSOURI GIRL" COMING.
