Corrupt Practice
The Cortcct Practice act applies
all the year around, as well as at
election time. In most of the county
and city offices a card has been re
ceived from a Portland house con
talning one section of the act, and in
big letters these cards also read:
"The corrupt practice act prohibits
the solicitation by any person
from public officials or their deputies,
of subscriptions for any religious,
cnantaoie or political organization;
and prohibits officials and their depu
ties from subscribing to the same, or
purchasing tickets for raffles, enter
tainments or balls, under a penalty
of one year s Imprisonment or of pay.
tng a fine not exceeding $5(X)0." As
pointed out before, however, one may
still drop a dime or a quarter in the
contribution box at church.
Little Johnny Jones"
There was something doing every
moment of the evening last night at
the performance of "Little "Johnny
Jones" at the Astoria theatre. The
play was a typical "Cohan" produc
tion in every respect and was teem

splendid manner. Mr. Smith took
the part of Little Johnny Jones and
his work was most pleasing. A large

and well trained dancers is carried

principal members of the company.

Died All Alone 1
Judson A. Meek, for many years
resident of the Lewis and Clark dis
trict, was found dead in hi little
house Sunday morning. He had been
in ill health. When found he lay on
the floor with his feet under the
stove, as if he had strenched him
self out for warmth. Coroner Gil
baugh was called and made an inves
tigation of the matter, but everything
tended to show that the rancher had
died from natural causes. .. Further
examination showed cause of death
to have been heart trouble. In his
pockets was found the sum of $15.75.
Meek had evidently been dead for
number of days. He was 51 years of
age, unmarried, and while of a
ing and unusual disposition, was well
thought of by hia neighbors. His
sister, Mrs. Nettie Love of Portland,
came down yesterday and has taken
charge of her dead brother's effects,
His ranch comprised about 28 or 30
acres and had some good stock on it
There will be no inquest. The funeral
will be held from the Gilbaugh chapel
this afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, the
services being conducted by the Rev.
Conrad Owens, pastor of the First
Baptist church, with interment in
Greenwood. Meek had lived on his
present ranch for about 20 years.
