"Months and Season," and it has been arranged to give it In the Na tional hall next Saturday night.' The proceeds will go to the benefit of the grammar school, "probably in the purchase of picture or other things for the school room. The entertain ment U certain to be very pretty and the parent a well a children are showing keen interest in the matter. It was planned to have at let 300 children In the cantata, but the Na tional hall stage will probably not hold more, than 200, so probably about 100 of the little ones will be disappointed'in not being able to participate. Efforts were made to secure the Astoria theatre, but the manager refused to rent it to local talent , ; Died At Jewell The aad intelligence was brought to this city last evening by Frank Wooten, of Jewell, of the death there yesterday morning of William McKeever, one of the but known old cUixen of Clatsop, county, a man who ha been a prominent figure in county affairs for the past o years; and a veteran of the civil war.

THUANOY CASE MATTER IS TURNED OVER TO ASSISTANT DISTRICT AT TORNEY FOR ACTION Mr. Clark, superintendent of the city schools, and Acting Chief of Police Oberg yesterday held a con ference with Mr. lirowiiell, the dis trict attorney, in n Union to the question of ranking the arrest of the fathers of children who remain out of school without proper reason for the absence. ' Mr. Brownell pointed out the law covering the matter and it was agreed that a warrant should be Issued for the arr'ct of one or more fathers of truant children. It is ap- pnrently planned to make this cam paign against truancy a vigorous one. A warrant for the arrest of at leant one man will be Hsued today if cv erythlng is found in readiness. The law require that written notice shall have been served upon the parent in question, and if it be ascertained that this has not been done of course the question of arrest will be deferred until this necessary preliminary has been carried out. ( ! f ' Police Office Wilson has been spec ially detailed to look into the 300 truancy cases reported by the board of education, and the officer is evi dently finding it a hard job. Yet it is evident that of the 300 cases reported many are wrongfully designated. Out of these 75 are in attendance at the Academy of the Holy Names; others are out of the city, and others are out of school for one or another vand reason. Yet after all proper dedue tions have been made there still re main quite a few of the delinquents, and perhaps the school census, which Is to be taken the latter part of this month, will show a new lot of names. One man in particular defies the law. Hi boy is under the age of 14, and ha no valid reason for the de linqueney, and yet the father Simply asMimes the attitude that the authori ties can go hang for all he cares. The law provide that such par ents, or other proper guardians, op en conviction Shall be fined from $5 to $25, or way be incarcerated either in the county or city jail for a period of from two to ten days.or both. If a child is sick, or lives too far from the nearest school, or attends sme private school, or is ta'ight priv ately by a tutor, the delinquency is excused. All children between the ages of 9 and 14 years must attend school, unless kept out for one of the reasons stated by the statute. The Philharmonic Concert Dr. Emil Enna, director of the Astoria Philharmonic Society, met last, evening at Logan's hall, with 62 of the members of that splendid or ganization, for the last grand rehear sal urior to the srs-at concert to be given in the auditorium of the Ath letic Club building, on Tuesday night next, when scenes from Dr. Enna's beautiful opera "The Mountain Kin it" w ill be rendered for the first time in nublic. This will be the second appearance of the Philhar monics in this city and they have striven nobly to make the present ment of next . Tuesday as nearly perfect as their combined and con ceded talent can achieve. Trained and drilled and coached to the last degree of faultless equipment for the big task, there can be no possible doubt of the ' pronounced success awaiting it next week; and incident ally, everv Astorian. with a grain of pride and culture in this splendid new society, should be in attendance nn the imoortant nifrht in question, to give these clever home-people the assurance they deserve of popular commendation and endorsement.

Ill PULL SIHAl'S TO ECiDE T.IATTER IN THREE PRECINCTS THERE IS A TIE OF THE DEMO CRAT COMMITTEEMEN In the intercut .that was felt for the Other offices, very little attention ha been paid to the precinct committee men who were nominated by the Re publican and Dmocrat parties at the primary on Monday. Each party i expected to name a committeeman from each of the seven precinct in the city. The Republicans named the seven. The Democrats named only five, as in two of their precincts, six and seven, there were no votes cast at all for the committeemen. An odd thing arises in connection with the Democrat vote for the com mitteemen, too, for in four out of the five precincts that voted for this office there is a tie. This tie will have to be settled by drawing lots, according to law, and Judge Anderson will send out notice toeach of the men who participate in the tie vote to come to his office at some utipulated time and pull straws. Another odd thing is that in every case where there is, a tie, each man voted for received only one vote. In Precinct No. 1 on the Democrat ticket A. Wuopio received 3 votes which gives him the nomination, as no other candidate received more than one vote. Still another odd thing Mr, Wuopio was also nomi nated as precinct committeeman by the Republicans. Naturally he can't hold both and most resign from at least one. The Democrat vote for Democrat precinct committeemen is given herewith in full, and the result shows the ridiculously small vote: DEMOCRATS No.t-A Wuopi 3 vote No. 2 I. Bergman . ...1 vote . C C. Utxingeri. ...... I rote No. 3 Patrick Shea , . 1 vote Joe Brown . .. 1 vote John Stephensen 1 vote C J. Curtis..... ......1 vote No. 4 H. L. Henderson.., ...1 vote H. Wise . 1 vote ,T.:Wm. Kellcy vote -C F. Wise v.v.. 1 vote T. L. Ball .,..1 vote No. 5 Thomas Dealey .. .. . .4 votes REPUBLICANS The Republicans did a little bit better. They at least managed to elect their committeemen by votes that aggregated above one or two. The entire Republican list - and the vote accorded each candidate is as follows: No. 1 A. Wuopio 7 votes No. 2 Asmus Brix ..9 votes No. 3 F. I. Dunbar.. ..3 votes No. 4 F. Deveney ......... .9 votes No.5-D. A. Welch... ....... 8 votes N0.6-E. Hauke ....... s... 7 votes No. 7 Ole J. Se.ttem.... 9 votes More Talk of Litigation One of the property owners affect ed by the Irving avenue slide said yesterday with much emphasis that there is certain to be litigation grow ing out of the matter yet. Accord ing to his statements the question is now belnir looked wito. The stand is taken that inasmuch as the Council had repeated warnings of the danger likely to 8rise from the improvement that the city is liable. The usual rul; seems to be that a city is not liable for any "consequent" damages aris ing from street improvements, pro viding the proceedings have been regular and in due form. But in this case the contention apparently is o be made if litigation is brought that the damages are not "conse quent," but are direct and inevitable, and of such a preponderate quality that they completely overshadow the benefits to the affected property own ers, and that all this was well known to the citv authorities before the pro ceedings were ordered. There is also talk from the same source that the individual nrembers ofs the Council may be made defendants, despite the fact that the 1906 charter amend ments contain a clause clearing them of individual liability when the pro ceedings are "regular." Again the regularity of the proceedings are to be called into consideration, appar ently. On the other hand it is well known that; some of the property owners are not thinking of law suits but are extremely grateful for the aid the city is now giving. ;! Annual Meeting The annual meeting of the stock holders of the, Scandinavian-Ameri can Bank, of this city, was beld at the bank parlors last f evening,, and the directory, as it has stood for the past year, was re-elected, as were the present officers of this popular and successful Institution. - - WHY Wise's of Suits, Overcoats, Hats, Shirts, Etc.

HERMANN FROMCLATSOP TViENTY GEfllEED- AND FROM ASTORIA 12 STU DENTS ENROLLED AT THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE There are 12 young men and young women from Astoria attending the Oreeon Aericuitural College at Cor- vallis this year, and from Clatsop county there is a total of 21, includ ing the 12 from this city.

C. is pros oerinsr more finely year by year, and there is no doubt that its graduates are proud of their colleger There are now 1060 students there, of which 257 are women.

In the agriculture course there are now 107 students. Need a Theatre The need of some public hall or theatre that may be rented by local organizations has been demonstrated several times recently. The Philhar monic society is said , to have; been unable to secure it for the cantata next Saturday night, and other so cieties have feft the same need of a good, centrally located place to give entertainments, Logan hall and the new Athletic ball, are good in the"r way, of course, but are not fitted out as desired for such entertainments. .-. Do So Many People Honstei The Reliable Clothier nnd Has Secured "The DeviT Manager Frank Hanlin, of the As toria opera bouse, has just returned from Seattle, and makes the pleasant announcement that he has finally se cured the famous and wonderful play, "The Devil," as produced by Savage, the great draamtist and crit ic, and it will be seen here on Mon day, the 14th of December next.
