Mr. Schmidt' Attitude Chris Schmidt, who made a won derfully close race for the common council against Mr. Kaboth in the Second ward, is said to be reluctant to make any formal contest of the matter, though in the opinion of many a recount might change the result. A change in his favor of one vote would give a tic, if taken from Mr. Kaboth. No one presumes for a moment that there was any trickery in the count, but the count in this precinct was so slow and laborious, lasting until 1:10 o'clock in the morning, that in such a close vote an error of one or two might very readily have crept in. In addition it was suggested hefore th county had closed that it looked to one or mpre hvstamlcrs who were watching that error had crept in. It is understood Hi Mr. Schmidt will attend the canvass of the votes in the city au .litnr'. office this moaning, and t the vote checks up all right that he will not be disposed to demand a recount. It is known, however, that one or more members of the city committee, a body that would na turally" have the right to act, are in favor of a recount. The Astorian would like to state that despite its blunders in this respect it knows Mr. Schmidt's name is not Schmita. . Madeline Longtaine, the young Cathlamct girl who hai been ill at St. Mjiry'i hospital, died there at 10:30 o'clock last night, and her death marki a closing chapter in a shocking epiiode. .' She was only about 17 yean of age, a pretty child, and engaged toif be married when the sad circum- J stance arose that finajly wrought ! her death. - I Dr. Peacock, f Cathlamet, has ' been under arrest for the past week! or more in connection with the mat-1 ter. Her death ii laid to have re-;T .llHf1 (mm a criminal nflnlmfl r.Ar. 1 formed about two weeks ago, and the Cathlamet physician wai arrested in connection with this matter. It is understood that he denies his guilt. The whole case hai been enwrapped in 10 much feeling, in contradictory statements, in personal bias, and even with political and personal ani mosities and hatred, that it may be difficult to ever ascertain the exact truth of the matter now that the girl is dead. There i no lack of those who bold'aver that Dr. Peacock is the victim of , circunrtances. -The physician is now out of bail in the sum of $1000. Perhaps this will beix increased since her death ha's oc- curred. i Her mother was with the dying) girl last night when the end came. : It is known that the dying girl bad made statements involving the phy i sician, and yesterday Attorney Olson of Cathlamet, the prosecuting attor ney-elect, endeavored to securt final statement in legal form. It is not known- here whether he succeed ed or not.

AMUSEMENTS , "LITTLE JOHNNY JONES." Almost- directly from a tour that has included the Facifc Coast, there will come to the Astoria Theatre next Sunday night Geo. M. Cohan's tremendously successful musical comedy, "Little Johnny Jones." This simple announcement will probably be sufficient to send hundreds of theatre-goers to the Astoria theatre for of a surety no musical play pre sented in this city in the past decade has made a better impression than Little Johnny Jones" which play goer will ever remember him for, not so much because of its big suc cess, but because this musical play contains so many elements that tend to attract amusement seekers. Apart from a coherent story and well sustained plot, with two very pretty rove stories ninning through out Its three acts, "Johnny Jones" contains enough song numbers to stock half a dozen plays of its kind, and they are all of that peculiarly fascinating kind that only Geo. M. Cohan knows how to write. In Little Johnny Jones there are no less than 20 songs of this character. The company which will interpret "Little Johnny Jones" here is practi cally the same as have presented it since its initiative. A large and well drilled chorus, who are not only fascinating toMhe eye but who can sing, and some very elaborate scenic and costume embellishments is the promise held out by the management for the presentation of Mr. Cohan's celebrated musical play. , ; , to have clothed it in remarkably language. In point of construction, also,' Mr, Obermer is said to have demonstrated the value of numerous revolutionary ideas of his own. Miss Roberts in 'The House of Bondage," has a role in which she is seen at her best, and the Roberts best is a dramatic value to conjure with. John Cort has given the star a strong support, among the players appearing the well known names of Arthur Forrest, Thurlow Bergen, Kent Bosworth, Harry Gibbs, Ann Warrington and Mary Bertrand. HER BOY KILLED. MRS. F. WOOLLEY PROPRIETRESS FLORENCE ROBERTS COMING. When it is said that Florence Rob erts, who has played a remarkably varied line of parts with always su perior artistry, has won the surpass ing success of her career in her new play "The House of Bondage," there remains no room for pessimism re garding the result of her forthcoming engagement at the Astoria Theatre on January 6th, next. It is common talk in theatrical circles that Miss Roberts has in "The House of Bond age" the dramatic "find" of the sea son. The work is by Seymour Ober mer, a brilliant English dramatist, who is said not only to have evolved a strikingly original ineme, dui aiso NEW YORK, Dec, lO.-Although she stood for some time in a crowd watching the police remove a body from under a car, Mrs. Lawrence Schiller of Brooklyn was not aware that the victim was her son until a child thrust a schoolbook into her hands. The fcook had been picked up near the car and it bore the name of Lawrence Schiller. Realizing her loss the mother fainted and had to be as sisted to her home. The child killed was eight years old and was return ing from school. - SURRENDER TO POLICE. NEW YORK, Dec. 10-Conscienee stricken because the police were seeking an innocent man, Robert Ackerman surrendered himself to the Brooklyn police last night, say ing tt-at it was he who had shot a man in this city on November 14 last., Ackerman fled to San Fran cisco after the shooting, but learn ing that a former policeman was sus pected of the crime returned to face the charge. He was greatly relieved when told that the victim o f the shooting, Frank Weber, will prob ably recover. Ackerman was lockeS up pending an investigation. He waa restored to citizenship in 1906, after deserting' from the United State army. Low Insurance. Call at Van Dusen & Co., 119 lia street, and insure your dwelling and furniture.
