Oi. West In Town
Hon. Oswald West spent the af
ternoon here yesterday, coming
down to cast hU vote for the resi
dential candidate he particularly fa
vored (just who that is, is, of course,
a matter of conjecture), Os. missed
his train out and will forgo an offic
ial appointment up lit E. O. for to
day. ., .
om To Clatsop
Dr. B. Owen-Adair has returned
to her home at Warrenton, trom a
ten-day visit to fricndi'and kinsmen
at Empire City. The doctor took in
Judge Taylor's address at Warren
ton on' Monday evening last and en
Joyed the talk immensely. It is sus
pected that the good doctor is a bit
of a "suffragette" and would really
like to vote for Taft, but this year
it is not essential.
The Day In Astoria
The national election day passed
off with remarkable quietude In this
city. There was no excitement to be
noted anywhere, but the interest was
manifest on all aides. The saloons
were practically closed all day long,
and the banks and public buildings
and offices, save the postoffice, were
all fast shut for the day. The normal
Republican majority in the city found
expression at the polls.
Her Sister Dead
Word was received in this city yes
terday from Mrs. M. J. Fox, that her
sister, Mrs. Billings, of Lewiston,
Idaho, is dead. Mrs. Fox was noti
fied of her sister's Illness about a
week ago and at once hastened to
her bedside, reaching there several
days before her death. Mrs. Billings
visited in this city for several weeks
this past summer. She was ten or
twelve years younger than Mrs. Fox
One Lorn Democrat
D. J. Ingalls came Into town last
night with the vote from Melville
precinct, which went 14 for Taft and
one for Bryan. "We can't kill that
one lorn Democrat off out there,"
said Mr. Ingalls in response to an
inquiry, "His name is Carl Johnson,
and he's all right, but I've never
been able to convert him. Some day
we're hoping that he will come over
on the right side1 and then we will
cast a straight vote for the Republi
can ticket. "After Mr! Ingalls heard
the report in favor of Taft he said,
"Well, I guess I can go him and go
to sleep now."

Home From Kentucky
Mr. and Mrs.. Charles A. Burlin
game, with baby Clover, have, arriy
ed in this city from a fivc-weck tour
irr the middle -west and westerly
east. They went back to Ltxing
ton. Kentuckv. to meet kin and
friends, and to Cincinnati, to attend
the annual convention of Laundry
men of the country, and enjoyed the
trip immensely, The convention was
a great success, there being 1200
managers and representative men of
the business assembled from all parts
of the nation. The return trip was
made to cover as much ground of in
terest as possible and they visited
Salt Lake City, Denver, Colorado
Springs and Manitou. At this latter
point they enjoyed the novelty of
snowstorm. All are well and glad
to get back.
For & F. D. Route
A postal inspector made an inves
tigation of the advisability of estab
lishinir a free delivery route out bf
Warrenton last week, and the people
of the community understand that he
will make a favorable report, on the
matter. Warrenton had made appli
cation for the free delivery route
and if it be established it will prob
ably be a very .welcome aid to the
farmers of that district. An applica
tion has also been made to establish
a postoffice at Morrison, but if the
rural route is started it is not prob
able that the postoffice will be estab
lished, but if the route is not estab
lished it is expected the postoffice
will be. One at the other is tt
quired. It is hoped to have the rura
route in operation within 60 days. It
would run westerly, half way td the
Clatsop postoffice.
Put Up Nasty Fight
About 11 o'clock last night Tatfol
man Tom Llnville, while walking his
Astor street beat, was called to one
of the joints 'in the neighborhdod to
compel some bumptious Hindus to
behave themselves. This he did,
finding It necessary In the course of
the contact to rap oik of the turbu
lent bunch with his club, and the man
cursed him roundly and vowed to
"cut his entrails out" later, alb of
which did not disturb the big police
man to any extent. In a little while
he found the same crowd in ,the
neighborhood and acting worse than
before, and when he ordered them to
move on, the leader started to draw
something from his hip, when Lin

ER SYSTEO OF
THE Till
BOARD OF EDICATION WILL
FIND OUT COUNTY COURT'S '
INTENTION IN MATTER.
At the meeting of the board of
education last night the question of
admitting pupils back into the pub
lic school after they hav been af
flicted with, some contagious disease
was considered at some length, Here
tofore the rules pertaining to such
admission have been very rigid. Dr.
Clara Reamcs, .the city health officer,
was present at the session by invita
tion of the hoard and spoke upon the
matter. It was decided to admit
such pupils In tlie future on the cer
tificate of the health officer, instead
of having a certain definite and rath
er lengthy period of probation before
entrance is; possible, f a f '
The question of tuition from the
pupils who enter the ligh School
from the county was discussed." by
the board also. There are now quite
a number of such county pupils in
the High School and no arrangement
has been made in regard to their tui-.
tion, Readers of the Astorian,, will
perhaps recall a recent article which
explained this matter at some length
a recent law provides that the
county court may make some ar
rangement with the board of educa
tion to pay the tuition out of the
county taxes, But iansmuch as the
county court cannot make a levy of
taxes for this purpose until after the
first of the new year, it has refused
to take any action in the premises. It
Is understood that the board of edu
cation have left the matter open to
ascertain what the county court in
tends to do in the matter; if it gives
an assurance that the tuition is to be
paid sooner or later the board of
education, it is understood, will be
content with such an assurance. But
if the county court fails to make
some arrangement or assurance it 'is
said the board . will be 'compelled to
send the bills for' stich tuition to the
parents ofthe county pupili thi then
let the pupils' look' to r the ' county
court for any " reimbursement that
may be made to them.
viae manned him over the arm with
his club, and then had to put the
nippers on him to get him in "march
ing order." He headed for the city
hall with the man, whose companions
trailed on behind and at the corner
of Tenth and Bond, the fellow struck
him a swinging blow on the point of
the nose, which for the instant at-
most staggered , the officer, but he
soon subdued the drunken scrapper,
and landed him behind the bar9, from
whence he will be taken into court
today. Officer Linville says that since
he hag been in business of man
handling he has never received such
blow that he can recall.

Spoke At Warrenton a :
Judge Taylor spoke on the issues
of the camoaien to an aoDreciative
audience at Warrenton Monday
night. All Warrenton turned out to
hear, and the address was reported
yesterday to have been an excellent
one. , In the audience were several
Democrats and one, according to a
Warrenton man who was here yes
terday, tried to make himself con
spicuous by interpolating foolish
questions. Then C. F. Lester, at
the close of Judge Taylor's address,
arose and said something which will
be remembered in Warrenton for a
long time. "There is a man in this
auuience wno used to work tor me
many years ago," said Mr, Lester,
"and I paid him $1.30 a dav. ' the
sianuaru wages oi tnat time. Tins
man now is earning $4 a day at the
same work, and tomorrow he will
vote for Bryan." ' That was all Mr.
Lester had to say. It seemed more
than enough, ..
