ing the audiences a better chance to

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, ,

prising to note the long periods of
time that some men will leave money
in the city treasury when' it '2s due

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.

naturally likes to have things "clean

venient or possible. .

Twenty-five Years Ago
Mr. George Kaboth, members of
the cify council and one of Astoria's
best known citizens, will today ob-j

came to this city from San Francisco

TWO MARKETS Formerly the Boston Market (Werthes Brothers
" j mentioned the fact that there is great
need of suitable building laws. "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. ,
