Injuries Not Seriout Frank Horn, the man who was hurt at Me'scrve's camp on Gray's River, is improving very fast at St, Mary's hospital. 'That he 'was not killed or seriously hurt seems almost miraculous, yt in addition to three or four broken ribs and a bad bruis ing be is in good shape already. Yes terday he was able to walk around. Quartette To Sing . One of ttje feature's Friday night in ."The Trials of Mr. Flipper," at the Astoria Theatre, will be a spec ialty In the form"" Of a quartette by Messrs. James Johnson, J. T. Ross, W. Smith,' and John Garner. This quartette has been practicing all sum mer and docs some very clever work. It will be their first appear ance. Some Fine Grapes There are a lot of excellent grapes in the local market now, and they seem to be as wholesome and sweet as they look. During the summer there was much complaint of inferior fruit offered for sale here, but just at present the stores apparently, have some fine fruit on hand. The Cali I1RAUT!

It is said that Manager Kankonen, of the "Co-Op" reports that had not the storm of Monday night intervened he must have been blocked at the big cannery. Change In Proprietorship The well known house furnishing business conducted for some years past at No.- 504 Bond street in this city, by Lawrnce II. Henningsen, has been sold by that gentleman to hi J brother-in-law, Martin Nelson, president of the Zapf Furniture & Hardware Company, and the latter is now in possession of the business. Mr. Nelson will have the best wishes of many friends for a success in his new venture. A "Tin Anniversary This day marks the passing of the tenth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. August G, Carlson, who dwell at No. 113 Franklin avenue in this city. They were married at the metropolis on the lSth of October, 1898, and have many friends in As toria. Mr. Carlson is foreman of the big Lindcnberger cold storage plant here ' '' '"'. For Rights of Way At a meeting of the directors of the electric street car company yesterday afternoon it was decided that efforts should be made at once to secure the rights of way for the line between this city and Seaside. Nothing has been done in this relation thus far, as it has been somewhat difficult to get business men to give their time to the matter. However, II. G. Van Dusen was selected for the purpose and has agreed to take up the work at once. It is hoped to have all the rights of way formally secured with in ten days. ..... Name Left Out 1 By an inadvertance the name of Miss Margaret Taylor was left out of the cast of "The Trials of Mr, Flipper" as published in the Astorian of yesterday. Miss Taylor will take the part of "Patsey," the maid at "Mr. Flipper's" house. The play promises to be a very successful one and much Hot Drinks Coffee and'Chocokte. '-KRAUT! Sour Kraut Quart tfl fl ttssw 4 interest fa takcin in it by member of the High School and their friend. A rattling good entertainment is expect ed, and it will probably pay every one who likes to pass an evening in this way to sfceure tickets for "Mr. Flip per." The last High School play was an unqualified success, and this one will doubtless prove just as entertain ing and meritorious. .-Friday-night is the date.; ' " 1 . Egg High and Poor An extreme scarcity of Oregon ranch eggs has caused jump in the prices, which yesterday were quoted at 37J cents, this being the whole sale quotation, of course. In Seattle the prices went even higher, and Tuesday In Seattle they were priced at from 8 to SO cents., These prices soon dropped, however, as they were manifestly too high. In Astoria the retail price arc high and not only that, but it seem difficult to get good eggs no matter what is paid. Some dealers have been selling what they claimed to be "ranch eggs" at 33 cents, though these eggs were very poor and hardly fit for the table. As a matter of fact they were evidently candled eggs and not of a good qual ity at that. In Chicago and other eastern markets the egg price are reasonably low. At two of the local hotels it is said to be almost impos sible to get good eggs now, and a strange part of the matter seems to be that very little effort is made in this locality to keep hens for market and egg purposes. A Needed Improvement For some time the Callcndcr Navi gation Company of this city has real ized the urgent necessity of a deady resort for the repairing and berthing of its fleet of scows and barges here at the seat of its principal business and also to meet the demand of a similar nature from other and out side sources; and to this end, it has leased a big waterfrontage, lying be tween the westerly line of the Kin ney Cannery property and the east erly line of the Leather' boat yard, and are now installing thereon the necessary gridirons' and structures in cident to the business of overhauling, caulking and repairing such craft of tneir own and other peoples' as may need the place and service. It will also be turned to account as a "bone yard" for the safe keeping of their idle barges. It is said that some of the rock barges now in the jetty service will be among the first ves sels to be hauled onto the new ways, wheih will be completed in a few day. ' Candidates Are Buy Tom Loughery, candidate for the office of street superintendent, is busy handing out cards announcing his candidacy. H. E. Steffensen is also another man who will make a strong run for this position. Fred Sherman has also announced his can didacy, and these with Mr. Kearney, the incumbent, give , promises that there will be considerable activity for the peoples' favor for this office. Mr Kearney has made no formal an nouncement of his candidacy, but it is understood that he will run again, and he also has many friends who would like to see him retain the place with whose duties he is so familiar. Generally speaking, however, there seems to be a tacit understanding that the activities of the municipal campaign shall be kept in the back ground as far as possible until after the national election on November 3. Will Erect Cottage At a meeting of the park commis sioners last night the city surveyor, Mr. Tee, was authorized to go ahead and construct a cottage on the City Park for the use of the keeper, and for incidental use of the public. Mr. Tee had already prepared plans' for the cottage, and according to the plans the building will be quite a handsome little structure. The cost is to be $425. The commission em ploys a man to work around the park Nick Wisner and he will be per mitted the use of this cottage as a residence. It will have only two rooms. A broad veranda will be built which will be a place of refuge for visitors in case of rairf. The city owns upwards of 13 acres in this park tract, and it is hoped to have it in handsome shape after a year or two more, The commission also pass ed upon several bills last night. Com missioners G. C. Fulton, Gratke, Hil debrand, Tee and Mayor Wise were present. ; , ALEX TAGG : Ice Cream -25c. a Gt.

Clark, the superintendent of schools', shows that there are apparently about 300 chil dren out of school who, under the terms of the state law, should be at tending classes daily, It h possible, however, that this number should be lessened somewhat, inasmuch as some of the children have moved out of town or are at present absent from the city. These figures were obtain ed by comparing the list of children in attendance with the school census taken last November. The census showed that there are 2680, children of school age in the city, and of these about 300 are not accounted for now, The law requires that all children be tween the ages of 9 and 14 "must" go to school, and between the ages of 14 and 16, must attend school unless engaged in some employment. The police chief i the truancy officer, but heretofore no satisfaction has been secured by appealing to the police in the truancy cases,, nevertheless strong efforts will be made this fall to see that the truants are compelled to go to school. If necessary, efforts will be made to have a special officer em ployed for the purpose. Some sug gested that a woman would give sat isfaction as a truancy officer. Operation Performed Mr. Bjorge, residing near Cath lamet, was brought to St. Mary' hos pital Tuesday by her family physi cian, Dr. Fred Peacock of Catlilamet, to be treated for an affliction for which she has suffered almost con stantly during the last twelve years. Dr. Henderson was called to operate and with the asistance of Dr. Pea cock and Dr. Reamer he performed a surgical operation which will likely relieve her of much suffering. The patient is at this time in excellent condition with every prospect of speedy recovery. The number of peo ple who come to St. Mary's Hospital for treatment is really surprising. That institution is -presided over by Sister Andrew, who was for many year in charge of the surgical de partment of St. Vincent Hospital in Portland. While there she acquired a reputation as a surgical nurse that made her famous all over the Pacific Coast, and it is said that as good work can be done and is done here, as in any city or any hospital in the western country. V Money In Ginseng The Post-Intelligencer , of Seattle had a story in its Sunday issue 'of the raising of ginseng on logged-ofT lands, and according to this account one man whose name and. address are given ha made several thou sands of dollars this season off from half an acre. The article says be will clear from $4000 to $6000 from this little patch. Manager Whyte of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday wrote to the man in an effort to as certain if there is some truth in the statements credited to him. He grows his ginseng in a sort of hot house, cheaply made. Ginseng is of value as; an article of export because of its comparative rarity. The Chinese value it highly for medicinal pur poses, and as it has become exceed ingly scarce in that country consider able quantities are shipped from this country each year. It grows wild in Tennessee and George, but never in any prolific manner there. The mar ket for ginseng is limited, presumably to the Chinese, and if it can be raised in this country on logged-off lands with the abundance indicated by the article in the Seattle paper it prob ably would at once drop to a market valuation of virtually nothing. It was its scarcity that heretofore gave it a market value. ; Company Drill ,, After the drill of the First Com pany in their armory : in Foard & Stokes hall last night, all the various minor accessories that had not been heretofore been placed in the hands of the men were issued out, and now each member has his full equipment. A short session was held of the com pany meeting, also, and various mat ters of interest' taken up and passed upon. The lockers were all assigned last night, and orders given that for the future the members must - leave their clothing and equipment in their lockers. The second section will go out to Young's Bay Sunday after noon for target practice, under the command of Second Lieutenant Sut ton. Members of this section are to assemble at the armory at 12:30 o'clock Sunday. No Political Clubs ; Apparently the efforts to organize political clubs for the presidential campaign have ended in something like a fizzle, for the Taft club that was to be organized by the Republi cans, and the Bryan Club that was to have been organized by the demo crats, are both still in mere embry ionic state." One of the members of 'the conuty republican committee yes- You can behd - it. .like this ; 'when, new . ; ,- W .. v iy rVi sAxr V V This is the secret of the wonderful success of the Rcl Cross Shoe.

' : - Blather Patent - Colt CliAS. V. BROWN The Family Shoe Store Man terday said that there didn't seem to be much likelihood of much activity here, and the slight efforts made to get some "big" speakers have-ended in fiat failure. . Prominent speakers are almost impossible to get, this year, and Oregon has only had Beveridge. Senator Fulton, however, is scheduled to speak here the last night of this month. The Astoria democrats seem to be in even worse plight, for they have no club organ ized and, as far as has been announc ed, there is no speaker retained to help enliven the campaign. In this section there is apparently a feeling that Oregon will give its usual re" publican majority for the President tial ticket, and that is probably the reason why neither side is "whooping it up." PER80IIAL OEIITIOfl T. H. Larke, of . Seattle, is in the city, a guest at the Hotel Occident. Guy W. Phillips, the well known traveling man of Portland, was in the city yesterday. 1 ; K. V.
