the first building, some of them be

cided to have a second school, and it
is said the new structure is hand

The question of the salaries of the
teachers in the country districts is

$40 or more after these "main items

tjuestion of attire is not of the same
Importance that 4t would be in As

back n! the country school is ; j the
lonesomeness which l befalls some of
the young ladies who are city bred,
but those who know how to adapt
themselves usually can' nave', more
fun than is dreamt, of in bigger towns
and cities, it is said, and at the end
of the year, are not necessarily on

f ,um Chack. ft Chinese boy, was

pendicitls at Sa. Mary's hospital last
evening, white three Chinese friends
of the boa father stood silently by
and watched tb. surgeons at work.

eration, though be was in very bad
condition.'. " ' , j
I The boy bad been sic& for quite
fime, ni there .had" been no medical
attendance. Yesterday afternoon Dr,
Pilkington was finally called in,
through the mediation of a druggist,
and he believed than an operation
was necessary at once if the China
boy's life was to be saved, la an
hour ihe lad was jn the hospital and
on the surgeon's table.

lf The boy, if ;i bright
youth, and Mrs. Barry, the principal
of the Shively , school, where he at-
tends, say that he is beloved of the
tcatfcers ws4 ; his i companions, and
that he is as good an American boy
as one would wish to find. The boy's
father was willing to do anything to
save his son's' Jife, but the,' Chinese
seem to know little or nothing of
modern surgery tod its possibilities,
and U was' with some difficulty that
he could be prevailed upon to con
sent to the operation. Finally his
consent was gained. But three of the
father's friends, grave and ; serious
minded Chinese, ; went to the hos
pital to' see that all was done well
Dr. Pilkington, tinderstanding. their
doubts and feart, decided ' to permit
them to observe the operation a
very- tmusual course. lie bade them
stand off to one aide and not to stir
while he cut Into the lad's body with
his sharp knife.
During the operation the ..three
men stood, there .as if . carved of
stone. Tbey made no movement,
though" the whole operation must
have appeared extraordinary and al
most barbarous to them; But they
saw the surgeon wished them to see.
The case was ft bad one matter had
formed in large quantities, and the
intestines of the little chap were in
deplorable condition. They saw the
surgeon calmly ; and with ' sure ' fin
gers deftly perform just what he set
about to do, and saw him cleanse
everything and leave the boy's "in
sides" as clean and nice as a boy's
interior should be. .. V
All this they saw without moving.
Then they saw the boy : return to
consciousness, and heard the sur
geon tell them; that now the lad had
an excellent chance to live. Natur
ally the event was much discussed
among the Chinese residents of As
toria last night, and it is to be hoped
that today the good news can be
made even stronger.

IM EE CITY
AN ONLOOKER AT MONDAY'S
CONVENTION ADD3 VERY
PECULIAR DETAILS.
The following communication
reached this office last evening and
is published because of 't peculiar
pertinence:
"Astoria, Oct, 27, .1908.
"Editor Astorian: Since I was
boy I was taught that all men were
created equal and endowed with
certain inalienable rights. My mind
has been disabused of the truth of
that fundamental principle - by at
tending Tony Smith's rump conven
tion held at Logan's hall on Monday
evening. I was surprised to see so
large a conclave of business men and
to representative an element of the
best citizens of Astoria. There were
Democrats, who had registred as
Republicans, Tony Smith, and Re
publicans , who registered properly,
but who were the fiduciary agents of
Tony number of Civic Improvers
and several politicians. It was a
comedy farce, in four acts.' Pursuant
to a jriate put up m tne omce ot a
M. Smith on Monday afternoon, the
faithful and the unrcgenesate filled
the ' halt to overflowing that is, if
the vqtc polled is any indication, and
pursuant to pre-arranged plans, Dr.
Alfred Kinney called the meeting to
order and Tony moved. that he b
ejccttit chairman. , You never saw
more surprised man that 'Doc' at
the 'unexpected honor heaped upon
him .by a 'non-partisan convention.'
Then Tony made a motion in fact,
he made nearly all the motions (he
was the whole cheese), that a com'
mittee of three be appointed on or
der of business and a committee of
three on platform, . !
"The doctor wal again ' surprised
and didn't hardly know who to ap
pointalthough he had the names
on a slip of paper before him. -The
committees suggested by Tony were
duly appointed and retired for de
liberation and shortly reported and
the reports were adopted. The plan
was to leave the nomination for
mayor to the last, 'as there were too
many Republicans in the hall and it
might Spoil the ,slate.j A few band
outs were given of unimportant of
fices to the Republicans, the Demo
crats keeping all the paying " offices
to themselves, which is characteristic
of all 'Citizens' conventions. '
"The various wards were then di
vided '.. off and went' Into sepa
rate .conventions. I attended ' the
ccond Toward,' land istood at the
door. There were just 61 voters in
the room. A prominent man attempt
ed to call the meeting to order but
Tony slipped out and brought in
ed to call the meeting to order bin
'Doc' and he did the business. The
Democratic incubator got to work as
soon as the ballots were passed around
and returned good interest on the
investment. Out of 61 members pres
ent 263 votes were cast. Of course
it was impossible to get that num
ber of men in the ante room, but
the vote were there, because Doc an
nounced the result., I only voted one
ballot, but a man that stood along
side of me put in 20, and an Astor
street saloonkeeper put in 6. They
were Democrats and I was after
wards informed that voting in
bunches was characteristic of the
Democratic party. I believe it, now,:
from occular demonstration.
' "After the four ward fiascos were
completed, a large number of Repub
licans left the hall. Tony sent rhe
and another politician around the
hall to see how things ' looked! Up
to 4 o'clock he'was a Bergman man
Land a candidate for police commis
sioner. Someone put him next, that
the police commission was o be
abolished and not having held office
for over' six months, he was per
suaded, much against his will so he
sas to run for mayor. He had
promised Ike to stay with him until
the roof caved in. He nominated Ike
but " had his agents distributed
through the hall with a pocket full
of small, white ballots, and judging:
from the size of the vote, there were
very few left.' 1 There vi-ere just 206
people in the hall when the vote was
taken and there were 331 votes cast.
This is what a prominent man told
rSey ('w'ith :: Denibtratic " simplicity.
Three men in: the back part of the
hall cast a majority of these ballots
for' Tony.'; ; ' ; . ':' ' ' ' '"
"When the vote was announced
Ike didn't know whether a cyclone
liad struck him or he Was a victim
of circumstances. Tony tried to ex
plain, but Ike was inconsolable. He
had been jobbed and he knew it and
he knows who did it.
J 'Now, the taxpayers, the hotKSi
citizens of Astoria, will be c;,l!rd
j'upnn to' dect Tony Smith's ticket. If
i ftucceiifitl. it '.vi!l f... a tv.litii-iil atwl
not a business administration. The
actions of the convention are proof
positive of this fact. It is doubtful
if the broad-minded citizens, those
interested In the upbuilding and
growth of the city, where taxes are
nearly seven per cent, will ratify the
action of the .rump convention at
the polls on the 9th day of Decem
ber. It may take them a week to
recover from their surprise as j to
what a smooth politician can do, but
they have over a month for prayer
ful consideration, and it is to be
hoped that the disreputable methods
adopted at the mass meeting Mon
day night will receive the condemna
tion they des'erve at the hands of
the voters in December. If not, then,
far well to Astoria. , ,

cause of stomach troubles, rheuma
