Homeward Bound- Word was received in this city yes terday by friends closely related to Mr. and Mrs, Walter Ridchalgh, now in England, that they may be expect ed home about ten days after the new year dawn. They have enjoyed their outing immensely, but th home-lust is on them and they are anxious to be back where the best and strongest ties are constantly urg ing them. There are plenty of good friends here ready to welcome them Contracting Work Cathlamet Sun: Axel Johansen, the Astoria contractor, has recently tak- en another contract at Rainier for ex tensive repairs to a burned building. This, with his contract work for J. C. Kennedy's residence at Skamokawa, G. Bailey' house at Cathlamet and the new creamery for the Townsend Company at Astoria, keeps Axel on the travel. That he ha made good is evidenced by the new work being offered him. Bakeronian Orchestra The Bakeronian musicians are .intro ducing some excellent music this week and last night they were the recipients of much applause on all of their selections. On Sunday evening the orchestra will play the most pop lar numbers from "Little Johnny ones" such as Give My Regards o Broadway," "Good Bye Flo," etc., nd it is supposed that a great many ho do not ee the opera "Little Johnny Jones' at the Astoria Theatre .Sunday night will go to the Baker onian and hear the musical numbers Football Sunday The Astoria football team have ar ranged for a game with the Ft Stev ens eleven to be played on the local grounds next Sunday afternoon at 2:30 p, m. The teams are said to be evenly matched and ' an interesting contest i expected. Among the crack player on the Astoria team who are looked to for strong work are Stcb- bick, Minard and Ted Sutton. The game is scheduled to come off rain or shine, and there is already quite a little enthusiasm apparent among the local lovers of football and there will no doubt be a large attendance pres ent to witness the game.

The Stahn Hearing The preliminary hearing before Jus lice Goodman of Henry Stahn occu pied most of the afternoon yesterday and a number of witnesses were heard. Mahns testimony tended to show that he was only defending himself when he procured a gun. He i charged with having threatened to kill D. L. Kelly of Clifton, but Stahn testified that Kelly had first struck him and knocked him down. Attor ney Eakin defended Stahn, and he re marked that the prosecuting witness should have been made the defendant in the case. At the conclusion of the hearing Justice Goodman said he would. withhold decision until this morning. 1 he prosecution was con Juctcd by the assistant prosecuting attorney, Mr. Brownell. , Four Fine Films Saturday's exhibit at the "Grand" promises to be one of the finest of 'the season. There will be four es pecially 'fine films unwound there, entitled "Money Mad," "The Awful Baby," "A Sinner," and the "Dum mies cm a Spree, than which noth ing more amusing and interesting has been shown there this year. Died At Stella- Word was received in this city yesterday from Dr. MeLeod. of Stella, of the death, at that place on Thursday, of Mr. William Gorman, the brother of Hon. Michael Gor man, mayor of Cathlamet. The de ceased was in his 49th year and highly respected throughout the valley and state. Interment will take place today, at StelUt after the arrival of the morning train hence to Portland. Finger-Nail Substitute Just as an illustration of the queer expedients that may be resorted to these days to make good when some supposed essential is missing, a well known lady in this city,, who delights in music and possesses one of the best phonographs in the city, the other day found herself out of "pointers" and having a specially beautiful record on the machine, was, momentarily non-plussed what to do to achieve the hearing of it, when It occurred to her to try her finger-nail in the delicate grooves of the plate. She started the machine and placing the edge of her nail in the initial line there until it was wound out, getting the full benefit, in a subdued way, of every note in the spendid production. It was an eye-opened in the gentle art of phonographry that was quickly appreciated; but, it may be said, in passing, that process will soon reduce a record to inutility if it is followed p with any persistance. Beaten And Robbed S. T. Parks, connected with the sewing machine agency on Tenth street, was cruelly beaten and robbed by highwaymen while walking from Ft. Columbia to Chinook last Wei nesady evening, He was struck over 'the head and side'of the face with some heavy budgeon and knocked insensi ble. He was on the road between the two-place and remembers nothing of the episode 'other than that he dimlv recalls having been struck a terrible blow. When he partially regained consciousness he staggered along the road toward Chinook- and finally reached there, He had been robbed of $120. Yesterday morning he came over, to this city. While his condition ' is said not to be serious, nevertheless the wound is an ugly one. It was on this same night that , the saloon at Chinook was robbed of $1300, perhaps by the same person who attacked Parks. Dance and Piano Contest for Wise's Customers at Logan's Hall Dec. 30th. Piano number with each $5 purchase. Wedded In Chinook ' A very happy affair transpired ist the lively little city of Chinook, on the north shore, on Thursday even ing last, when, at the First Lutheran church in that place, the lives and destinies of Mr, Gustav Strand and Mitt Victoria Svensen, both of that city, were united under the ritual of that faith, by Rev. G. A. Rydquist, the well known pastor of the Memorial Lutheran church of this city. Th hour was 5 o'clock p. m., and the edi fice was crowded to it very doors, many people coming in from the out lying territory to witness the union of the young people widely known in all that country. Beside the foriml equipment of the chancel and altar the national emblems of America, Sweden and Norway were conspic uously draped at proper vantage, and the chancel rail was adorned with . the same beautiful and suggestive colors the scheme telling, happily, of the tri-national love and obligation of the bright young people who were principals in the event. After the ritualistic ceremony, a . splendid home supper was given the brid and groom at the home of Mrs. Carl Simmons, the sister of Mrs. Strand to which a great host of guests did ample and righteous justice. The affair is of record, in Chinook as the most pronounced event of the kind ever chronicled there, in point of numbers and the perfection of the detailed appointments Of the hour. MIL, Jj ME DAY I Between Dec. 1st and Dec. 31st 1908 Words of Appreciation The Astorinn has received various words of commendation for its course during the municipal election. The Astorian should be highly commend ed," said G. C Flavel last evening in conversation with a representative of the paper," for its strong and clean campaign, especially as against the seawall amendment. I would like you to know that I appreciate it, and there are many others who also do. inc Astorian fought a good fight for good government and for the taxpayer, and perhaps many will realize it all the more now that the smoke of the battle has cleared away? Certainly the property holders realize it. Had the seawall amendment carried I am afraid realty values would have been sriously affected." Mr. Flavel, as every one knows, is perhaps the heaviest holder of waterfront prop erty, especially, of anyone in Astoria.

Poll Taxes The announcement in the common council at its last meeting by Coun cilman Robinson that it would be well to instruct the city attorney to com pel the county court to make an ac counting for the poll taxes collected within the city limits apparently has not feazed the members of the coun ty court. Judge Trenchard makes the retort courteous. "If the city will pay for the miles of county roads that we have improved and kept in repair within the city limits," he said, "perhaps we would be glad to turn the money over. But inasmuch as the law declares that poll taxes shall be rendered to the county court, and shall be applied by the county court in the district wherein they have been collected, it may be difficult t.i see what the city council is driving at But if the law was ignored and the money turned over, would there be an assurance that the money would be spent for the purpose required by law, or would it be sunk into some other fund? Also would the council sse that the proper amount of money f?e Quelle ELEVENTH STREET Opposite the Bakeronian Will open Saturday evening at 6 o'clock with -: HOT N TAMALES t -,'- EVERY EVENING,,..

Judge Tren chard is apparently satisfied that the poll taxes are going right where they legally belong, and a casual reading of the law seems to bar him out.

Fulton, president of the Ath letic Club Association, yesterday an nounced the list of the various com mittees that have been appointed by the board of directors.

The com pany that will present "Little! Johnny . Jones" in this city is one of unusual excellence numbering fully 75 people with a chorus of 40. The music of "Little Johnny Jones" is said to be most catchy and attractive, and in cludes a number of song hits that have attained great vogue throughout the country.
