McClura Defeat Taylor '
' Ou a H'ry muddy and aloppy field
Taylor hool yesterday afternoon
went down to defeat before the on-

en. Apparently, McClure's quarter
used better judgment in his plays and
they were all effective for big gains,
two of which allowed touchdowns
that were made in the first half. In
the last half they managed to score
two more touchdowns, and Nelson
kicked the goal. The game all through
contained much squabbling ' and
'kicking," but all through it was very
good.

Fumigated House
There have been several cases of
scarlet fever in tlie city fettely, but for
tunately the di-cjuc appear to be in
mild form, Tin-re had been a mild
epidemic of the sickness In one of thi
outlying towns and it is possible that
the disease was 1 brought in from
there. At all events the few cases
here have been of such mild nature
and have been enred for so well that
little danger U anticipated of any ser
ious trouble among the children
here. Yesterday Dr. Reames, the city
health officer, fumigated the home of
Mrs, A. L. Fulton, on Franklin ave
nue, where, there was a case of scar
latina, and the home of Knut John
son, also on Franklin avenue, where
there was also a case of scarlatina.
The home of Uric Manula, on Crand
avenue, wa also fumigated, there hav
ing been a case of diphtheria there.
In response to a query last night Dr.
Reames said there has been some
trouble in tracing the source of the
scarlatina, but Hint it possibly was
brought from Hammond. There, Dr.
Reames said, the disease had broken
out in such a mild form that in most
of the caes the parents did not deem
the service of a physician necessary,
and as a result it was not reported
and kept on spreading. Here in As
toria the cases have been exceedingly
mild, thus far, but it is urged that
great care be taken, if for no other
reaon,than the great Inconvenience
that will arise in quaranting the
house a measure that will be rigor
ously enforced in every instance to
pre'vent the possibility of an epidemic.
Tomorrow Dr. Reames will Inspect
the school ... eastern part of the
city where poib!y one of the eases
of scarlatina had Us origin, and will
make thorough investigation. There
are at present only two cases of scar
latina and two cases of diphtheria un
der quarantine. Dr. Rcamci urges the
necessity of keeping children away
from public places in the downtown
district as much as possible for a time.
Married Last Night
At the home of the bride's parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Ecklund, 1315 Grand
avenue, Albert B. Bergman and Miss
Augusta Ecklund were married last
night by the Rev. 6. T. Field, pastor
of the Norwegian W. E, church. The
ceremony was witnessed by the inti
mate friends and relative and after
the wedding- ceremony a supper was
served. The occasion wa made a
very happy one, and the young couple
were given the best wishe of many
friends. They will reside at Chinook.
The bride has been employed in the
telephone office.
Athletic Club Opening-
Tomorrow night will mark the
opening of the Athletic Club' fine
home, and the public generally it in
vited to attend the "house warming."
There will be music nd dancing,
punch will be aerved and a good time
assured to all that attend. The build
ing has been fairly well furnished al
ready and doubtless many will be
pleased for the opportunity of look
ing over the place. There will be
two orchestras, one downstairs and
one upstairs for the dancing. It is
hoped that everybody will make it a
point to attend, to enjoy the occa
sion as well as to see what a fine place
the new club has.

DUE'S CUSTODY
EMMA HERNS LEFT FOR SAN
FRANCISCO LAST NIGHT ON
STEAMSHIP ROSE CITY
Yesterday's noon express brought
to this city lr. E, M. Herns, of San
Francisco who came "up hurriedly to
take charge of her wilful daughter, the
17-year-old runaway from the Bay
City, who came up here on the lat
voyage of the Rose City, to seek her
lover, the soldier Johnson, 4!rl8 duty
at Fort Stevens, She found the girl
in the careful custody of Sheriff M.
. Pomcroy, who was glad enough to
deliver up his charge to hands natur
al! v eaiiinoed for handling her. Mrs.
Herns said (o a reporter for the As
torian that she came away hurriedly
from San Francisco, in order to fore
stall her husband who was greatly in
censed, and who declared that if .he
came up here it would be to ' kill
Johnson, the girl and himself, and she
fearing that he would carry out the
insane threat iu his great rage, came
on herself. She was at once put in
touch with her daughter, the latter
being quite indifferent to her mother's
presence and interest and frankly told
her mother and the sheriff that on the
moment she reached her legal major
ity, she would leave home again and
hasten to her lover, no matter where
he wa stationed.
From the mother's account, the girl
has always been very wayward, her
peculiar leaning to soldiers being con
spicuous always and everywhere. In
support of this, she showed the re
porter a letter found among the girl'
effects after she left San Francisco,
from one Frank Fagan, of Company
A, First Battery, Engineer Corps, at
Honolulu, H. I., in which he told the
girl that he was credibly informed
that the young man, Johnson (the
girl's present flame), had been badly
mixd up with i young woman in Oak
land, Cal, who had left her husband
and wa the mother of two young
children; evidently seeking to warn
the girl against being further im
meshed in an ugly intimacy.
About 4 o'clock the sheriff, mother
and daughter reached the O. R. & N.
pier thinking the Rose City would be
there, but they had to wait for an
hour before she arrived. Then the two
boarded her and left out on her at
6 oclock, homeward bound.
Mr. Hern is a very nice looking
and respectable woman and was far
more xealous in the protection of her
daughter than the latter was of show
ing her mother the respect due her,
and this wa marked by everyone who
came in contact with the pair. At all
event, the story is ended so far as
this community is concerned, save for
the common hope that the young girl
may come to her senses and realize
that her parents and her home are
infinitely the first and best considera
tions of her day and age. She has a
brother in San Francisco, Dr. F. W.
Herns, a well known and prosperous
young dentist.
File Election Expenses-
There are only four more days in
which the candidates for nomination
or for election may file their election
expenses with the city auditor, and
quite a number have not yet been
filed. There are several who have not
yet filed their acceptances of offices,
either. Thursday will be the last
day upon which to file the expense ac
counts, and after that it will be the
"duty" of the city auditor to report
all those who are delinquent to the
prosecuting attorney. Yesterday Peder
Gimre filed his account, showing no
expense and no promises. A. L. Foxi
deposed that he had 'spent' $1.50 for
cards. C. R. Higgins, the first of the
unsuccessful candidates to file an ac
count, stated that he bad expended
$10.95, most of which was for an
nouncements made in the newspapers.
I. Bergman filed his account yesterday
afternoon, showing $4 for newspaper
announcements and $3 for cigars.
Mr. Bergman is the fist of the can
didates who has had the occasion or
the courage to admit that he bought
cigars, although. tWe is a popular be
lief that at leas', several of the candi
dates did purchase at least a few
cigars. ,'.'... ,''..."-.
