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.

boat and that the attack was made

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.

Gone To Investigate
The steam schooner Bandon that
wnt ashore in Tillamook Bay, and
which was supposed to have been
hauled off in safety and was to be
sent on to Portland for repairs, is not
yet out of her ugly position and will
require very careful handling if she
is to be gotten into service again.
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,

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

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-

that John Fox was over on the
Sound on a business trip, that Mr-
Troyer had just gone off on a duck
