Getting Orders Early . M. Looncr of ban rrancisco. a representative of the Hoffman-Roth- schild clothing house of New York and San Francisco came down to Astoria last night from Portland to "talk clothing" with Herman Wise. Mr. Cooper is already preparing for spring orders, for at this time of the year a survey of the field is taken to ascertain what, textures and styles are taking best. Good New ..', The pleasant news is out, under ample authority, that little Ella Ja cobion, the 10-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Axel Jacobson, who has been alarmingly ill for some time with appendicitis, has taken pro nounced turn for the better, and is now lying at St. Mary's hospital In the- consciousness of her improve ment, a matter that) gives pleasure in her home and to the family's many friends. "' ," To Move The Kelton 1 j Captain Daniel Kern, of Portland, is due in the city this morning to make final arrangements for the re moval of the derelict steam schooner Minnie E. Kelton, now moored at the easterly end of the 0. R. & N. piers, and she will be taken almost immediately to a point on the upper bends of Tongue Point where she will be' beached and thoroughly ex amined prior to being taken on to the metropolis. Stolen Guns Found s As young Mr. Leahy, of the Foard & Stokes Hardware Company was returning from lunch yesterday at 1 o'clock, he 'overtook a couple of sturdy lads at the corner of Four teenth and Duane lugging some mud dy and rusty guns in the direction of the store he serves; and asked them where they got them, to which the boys, Johnnie Jochimscn and Georgie Osmundson, replied that they had found them shoved' in the mud near the water's edge and under the plant pf the Sunflower Dairy Company, across the street, and thinking they were the guns stolen from the Foard & Stokes Hardware Company, were taking them there for identification. The boys and their treasure-trove Hot Drinks Coffee and Chocolate. CO. n were taken to the lore a .'id the gum were quickly Identified as those that had been in the "swag" of Thursday night, Nine of the revolvers were found In all; but the theory that the robbery wag effected by mean of a boat and that the attack was made under the wharves and by boat it thus verified to a large extent. The boy were properly rewarded. Firemen On Vacation Ed Llewellyn of Hose No. 1. A. P. D with Mrs, Llewellyn, will depart! on tomorrow evening's train for Portland and Mount Angel, and oth er valley points, on his annual vaca tion, to vlit relatives and friends, and will be absent from the city and de partment for 10 days, Joe Murray, pipeman, of Hose No. 1, is due to return home from his outing up"in that same country, on the train to night and resume his place and duties, , Teachers Paid Astoria's public school teachers some 35 or 36 in number were all paid yesterday, when their first month's salary was paid to them by W. A. Sherman, the school clerk. Teachers are like other folks in that they are t little bit happier when the "ghost walked" to the total extent of "ghost walked" ot the total extent of about $3000, which is quite a sum of money to distribute.-'-Besides it was the first pay day for the teachers since last June and that doubtless made it doubly welcome. The Jubilee Singers The nine splendid singers of the Watkin's Tennessee Jubilee Singers were deserving of a far better house than greeted them last evening at the Astoria opera house. Their work was exceptionally good and the universal comment was distinctly favorable to ,'thcir scheme of entertainment and its wonderful rendition. The program was full of the classics of the old plantation world of America, and the chorus work was remarkable for the perfect blending of the voices, the melodious unity and splendid modula tion inseparable from the singing of the negro. It was a masterly per formance throughout, and the solo assignments were admirably handled from beginning to end. A second appearance would have vastly quali fied the attendance and receipts, both of which these people were entitled to in return for their unquestioned efforts to please. The Port Petition , In accordance with the law cover ing the matter City Auditor Anderson yesterday made an inspection of the names appended to the Port of As toria petition, some 2S0 in number, and found that many of them per haps of one-half may not be avail able as signatures. The law requires that all of tjie signers of such a peti tions must have been registered as legal electors for the preceeding gen eral election, and according to Judge Anderson's careful investigation many of the signers had not registered for the last municipal election, which was the last general election. It will be recalled that the last municipal elec tion was a very quiet one, because of the lack of opposition to the one set of candidates and hence it appears as if many failed to register for it. Therefore it would appear as if this petition will have to be returned to the men interested in getting it- up for the purpose of securing 200 sign ers all of whom had registered at the last election, . Of Unusual Merit Perhaps the most pathetic subject in moving pictures that has ever been seen in this city is the one now being shown at the Grand Theatre, entitled "The Bride of Sights." The film is a new one and last night was the first time it has been on display since it left the factory. The picture tells a beautiful story that is easily followed, of a young girl's devotion to a false ma nwhom lures her from her peace ful country home to the large city, where he later ties of her constancy and deserts her without money or any thought of providing for her future; she tires to obtain work but every where she is refused, finally in des peration she takes to the old end th river where sh brings a close to hr unhappy existance. All through the picture is. of intense interest and is well worth the time of anyone's to witness. The rest of the program is up to the usual "Grand" standard. ALEX TAGG Ice Cream 25c. a Qt.

K. V, Krusc, of North Bend, the well known salvor and shipbuilder, arrived here yesterday morning and left out at once, viav Seaside, and the overland trail for 'that country, to size up the Bandon's situation and to devise means to save her completely and speedily. A Celebity Coming s Secretary James T. Wallace of the Clatsop County Democratic Central Committee and manager of that party's headquarters in this city, has closed negotiations for the appear- ance in this city, on next Thursday evening, of Richard Pearson Hobson, the hero of Santiago, congressman from Alabama, and orator in behalf ' of William Jennings Bryan, to ad- dress the people of this section, t0 Logan's hall; and it is needless say the gentleman will have an sentially mixed and large audience, for those who do not go to be per- suaded to vote for the great Nebras- kan, will be there to see and hear Mr. Hobson out of friendly and pndeful curiosity. Busy As Bees J The big, grim plant of the Astoria Iron Works is still resonant with the sound of business activity, so much so that it was hard to get anybody to impart any information when the As- torian man went there yesterday tor news; but one man found time to say that John Fox was over on the Sound on a business trip, that Mr- Troyer had just gone off on a duck hunt, and that the company had just Young . .

Some, too, are apt tobe more or less just, as mistakes are likely to arise. For WITH EACH $5 SALE TO . "" "" V i -; . ' ti !
