Booth Company Interests in this city, had been named as receiver at this point in the litgation that has arisen in connection wiih the big concern, at Chicago, but it could not be confirmed last night. Such an ap pointment would be understood and highly appreciated here. Water Shut Off Announcement ii made by A.John snn, superintendent of the . water works, that the water in Uniontown and on Bond street west ' of Eighth street will be entirely shut off thi morning from 9 to 11 o'clock, on ac count of a break in the Sixth street main.

'' ' ,;'' Exama Today Superintendent Clark of the city schools announced last evening that the' examination for the pupils who wish to "try again" will be held in the McClure's school building, com mencing at 9 o'clock this morning. They will be in charge of Mrs. Berry, principal of the Shivcly school. These examinations are for the pur pose of permitting the pupils who failed to pass at the Spring tests, and those who were conditioned in one or more studies, to have another trial. About ten nr" twelve will enter, it is understood. New Teacher Superintendent Clark yesterday re ceived a telegram from Fred E. Schmidkc, of Fayette, Ia stating that he would accept the proposition t' teach the science and German classes in the Astoria high school. It has been an exceedingly difficult matter to procure the services of a competent man teacher to take these branches, principally because the As toria schools offer a comparatively small aalary for the position. All of the teaching force has now been en gaged and 11104 of the teachers are now on the ground in readiness for the opening .of the schools. Incubator Baby .Dead One of the little incubator babies that have been caVted around the state for show purposes and presumably the one that was on public exhibition here during the regatta died at the Corvallis fair. The child that was shown here at 10 cents per head was puny, and apparently dying then, and how it is that such an inhuman prac tice is permitted seems difficult to un derstand. How a sickly child jolted around, the country in a heated box can be expected to live is a side of the matter that the showman natur ally doesn't both about. These senti ment were expressly by one of the Corvallis papers and apparently they have application here. :T No More Land :i: At the office of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday it was said that all of the free government lands in Clatsop county have now been taken up. Until recently the maps showed that there were still tracts aggregat ing about 1500 acres, but it is under stood that one of the railway com panies has recently filed upon all of this, under some provision that per mit it to take up a certain amount of government lands, though just how is not clear. The members of otic of the Astoria realty firms said yesterday that there is no longer any land in the county that may be home steaded, save perhaps an occasional forty on some mountain top. At all events the Chamber of Commerce knows of none at all. . Meet Tonight The charter amendment committee will meet tonight and has extended an invitation to the newly appointed members of the seawall commission to meet with them. There are nine members in the commission. It is understood that S. E. Harris, of the commission, will decline connection with the work of the commission and that he will tender hia resignation. Mr,, Harris is said not to be in good health and he also feels that the mat ter is one of which he has no special knowledge. That one more of the commission will also offer his resig nation is also intimated, though this gentleman has requested the Astorian not to say anything about his prob able course in the matter for the present. It is said that the charter amendment committee may arrange to change certain matters in the bill so as to remove or materially modify some of the criticised features, es pecially as to proceeding without first niitking thorough investigations.

They came from a celebrated onion district known as Evan's Creek, Woodville,? near Medford, and are simply superb. He bestowed couple on a: newspaper friend (for obvious reasons which are here demonstrable to the most obtuse), which was the proper thing to do at that party was just out if that particular vegetable, The species was not mentioned by Mr. Davies, but the onions speak for themselves, in various ways, in size, color, texture and scent, ; especially the latter, and speak loudly of a fine culture and care and soil and tell of a ready market at the same time and in the ; same strong breath. They stand four inches in height and 13 in circumference, and they come of a yield approximating 60,000 pounds to the acre. PERSONAL MENTION Mrs. Fred Sherman, wife of the well known steamboat captain, is visiting friends and relatives here, and is stopping at the home of her father-tn-law, Fred Sherman, Albert Dunbar and Ed, Streumeyer are rusticating for a week at the Lounsberry ranch at Clatsop.

Dr. B. Owens-Adair, of "Sunny meade" farm, in this county, has gone to the State Fair; something she never misses if she can help it She has had a definite interest in that enterprise ever since it was first dreamed of, and there are none to dispute the fact that the good doc tor's was the first, or among the first, inspirations, that wrought it out.

RAYMOND'S COMPANY IN WELL KNOWN PLAY AT OP ERA HOUSE LAST NIGHT The Astoria theatre was filled last nigit to witness the performance of "The Missouri Girl" as produced by Fred Raymond's capable company, 'the play deals with life in old Mis souri and while there is a sweet pa thetic story , running through the piece,' there is still plenty of good, wholesome comedy and dramatic sit uations. ' The title roll was in the hands of the well known and popular, young actress Miss Sadie Raymond and to say that she handle the part in good style would'be putting it mildly indeed. Miss Raymonds portrature of the part was fine and her splendid acting supported by the entire, com pany gave naturalness and atmos phere, such to make one forget that he was looking upon a mimic scene and think he was back in old Mis souri. Next to share the honors of the evening from the standpoint of the audience was "Zeke" the country boy. Between Zeke and "Daisy" the "Mis souri Girl" it was hard to tell indeed which one furnished the most of the comedy and comical situations. Mr. Farrell, w-ho played "Zeke" is an un usual tall man, and with the aid of the tighr fitting clothes he wore his height looked greatly increased, and as Daisy was rather short the pair presented a most comical picture, and brought round of laughter and applause from , the audience, even when just standing silently side by side. The plot of the piece seems to be a secondary consideration, as it was clear from the performance that the members of the cast worked more for the comedy in the piece than for the story itself. .Still the vein of the play was good; yes a good deal bet ter than many of. the popular price plays that have visited Astoria. It was sensational, and at times bor dered upon the melo-dramatic, but al ways remained with the , bounds of the possible, and not going beyond the possible as is the case with pieces of the melodramatic variety. "The Missouri Girl" was just what the public turned out to see last night, and they saw just what they expected. A rural play with plenty of comedy and opportunities to laugh and that they enjoyed it was more than evident. The company as a whole was even ly balanced ' Miss Rae Filburn the character woman who handled the part of Mr. Grubb, "who could talk some when she got started" gave a good performance, as did Mr. Chas. Payne who was seen as her husband Mr. Grubb. The specialties given were good and thoroughly enjoyed, especially the song "Silver Threads Among the Gold" by the well known lady baratone Miss Blanch Edwards who won hearty applause by her ex cellent singing. Other specialties by members of the company met with the aproval of their hearers. For Sde. Twelve shares Northern Oyster companies stock, one hundred and thirty dollars (130) per share.
