Charlet W. Halderman, private sec
retary to United States Senator C W.
Fulton, of this State and city, has
returned to his home, frorrr Washing,
ton, and in response to in inquiry
made by a reporter lor the Morning
Astorian yesterday, Mr. Halderman
said that in all probability he would
not return to the national capital this
winter, unless the. senatorial toga fell
again to the shoulders of Mr. Fulton,
in which case he would at once as
sume his old position and go at once.
In the meantime he will remain here
and negotiate his private affairs with
view to their future permanency,
and be glad of the chance to be more
ith his family.
After Dr. Peacock-
Experts who have been going over
the books of the county officials of
Wahkiakum county are laid to have
prepared a report to the effect that
Dr. Fred Peacock, the county coro
ner, wai not a citizens when he took
the office, and that he held it for ona
or two yeart before he became a
cithen of the United States. It is
alleged that Dr. Peacock became a
citizen only last March. He had twice
taken the oath of office. . This same
report is said to read that he also
voted in aCthlamet illegally, claiming
to be a citizen while not actually one.
This new matter adds to the troubles
in which the Cathlamet physician
finds himself and gives a new hold
for his enemies. If the report of the
experts can be verified and substan
tiated In court it is possible the ques
tion of perjury may arise, it is said. ;

Building Accepted ' j
The little building that has been in
course of construction at the city
park is finally completed, and yester
day was accepted by the park com
missioners. , The commissioners made
quite an event of the acceptance. All
of them rode in Mr. Fulton's car out
to the park, about 10 o'clock yester
day morning, and there Mr. Fulton
made an oratorical and happy little
address in relation to the occasion,
and also thanked Mayor Wise, as ex-
officio chairman of the commission'
ers, for his energy and courtesies
during his term of office. ; Mr. Wise
replied briefly. ' In addition to this
Mayor , Wise was presented with ia
handsomely embossed set of resolu
tions from the commissioners, which
in this written form expressed the
good will and appreciation of ' the
commissioners. The ( set of resolu
tions are really fine and artistic in
appearance. They were prepared by
Mr. Tee, the city surveyor, who is
also a member of the commission
The lettering is beautifully done, and
on one side of the paper is a finely
painted scene, a glimpse of an Ore
gon forest. The set of resolutions is
something that Mayor Wise can long
retain with much pleasure, both from
the sentiments engraved thereon, -and
because of the beauty of the work
done by Mr. Tee. '
Stolen Watch Returned
About a year ago ; Albert , Beyer,
agent of the Weinhard brewery,
had his watch stolen from him in
rather a mysterious manner, and yes
terday he got it back in a very pecul
iar way, The previous, day an adver
tisement was inserted in the papers
by an Astoria man stating that he
had found a watch and that its owner
could have it back by proving owner
ship. This advertisement happened
to strike Mr. Beyer's attention, and
he went to the newspaper office to
look into the matter. The timepiecs
had been left there and he at once
recognized it as his own. There Was
no difficulty in proving it to be his
long-lost watch and it -was turned
over to him, and yesterday he had the
pleasure of again wearing the watch
that he had long ago given tip for
good. The funny part of the whole
matter is the question as to where,
and in whose hands, the timepiece has
been all these months. It was stolen
from Mr. Beyer'i vest in Sam Harris'
place jtist about a year ago. He had
laid the vest, with the watch in one of
its pockets, aside for a moment and
when he returned a moment later the
vest wai there but the watch was
gone.'. ., , ,. ;
Mr. Dunbar Haa Good News ,
A long-distance message reached
the office of Fulton Brothers, from
Salem, yesterday morning, announc
ing the pleasant fact that the case
aizainst ex-Secretary of State F. I.
Dunbar, of this city, had been decid
ed.in the supreme court, exculpating
that gentleman from all possible
charges of mal-administration in, th
matter of the $103,000 of fees sought
to be recovered on the ground that
the, Secretary, was not entitled -to
them during the eight years of bis
incumbency. Mr. Dunbar was the re
cipient of hearty congratulation on all
sides yesterday, and while sincerely
pleased with the turn given to the at
fairs, maintains his old and steadfast
belief in his perfect right to such por
tion of that sum as he did receive in
fees, and that the mistake made by his
opponents lay in not enforcing their
doctrine while he was in office and m
constant receipt of the statutory com
pensation. This case settles this long
mooted issue in Oregon for many
year to come. Telegraphic reports
last night sta'ed that the . supreme
court had not passed on the merits of
the case, but had chiefly held that the
state was not the proper party to sue.
AMUSEMENTS
' MISS ROBERTS COMING.
Miss Florence Roberts, still under
the advantageous management - f
John Cort, comes to " the " Astoria
Theatre next Wednesday in her new
play "The House of Bondage." The
appearance of Miss Roberts, always
an event, is made, more conspicuous
on this occasion, owing to the keen
interest attached to her latest pro
duction, and the environment offered
by an unusually excellent and well
balanced supporting company. Ar
thur Forrest, Thurlow Bergen, Kent
Bosworth, Harry Gibbs, Ann War
rington and Mary Bertrand, - ail
sterling players, is each entrusted
with a conspicuously important role.
The great popularity of Florence
Roberts has been won by a series of
impersonations that have won her
conceded peerage among American
actresses. From light comedy to
tragedy she has attempted, and al
ways with success, a range of parts
that would appal a player of less ver-
sability which means any other con
temporary artist that can readily be
brought to mind. Miss Roberts un
doubtedly excels, however, in emo
tional roles, and in "The House of
Bondage" she has a part in which she
runs the gamut of emotions. .. la fact,
her admirers who have seen her in
this play declare that her impersona
tion is the triumph of her career.
