Stolen An Accordion-
Peter Nissala stole an accordion in
Portland recently and last week ficd
to Astoria with hi booty, . Here he
tuned up his accordion and began to
play in one of the resort, where auch
music and other noise, delight the
auditory nerves of the hearers. Fate
willed it that the owner of the stolen
accordion should also come to As
toria, and he ran into Nissala. That
was why Nissala left town in a box
car yesterday morning. Police Ofli
cer Wilson was hot on his trail, how
ever, but missed him at the train.
The officer left word with the train
men about the man, and this side ol
Rainier they discovered him in the
car. He was turned over to the mar
shal at Rainier, who telephoned to
Sheriff Pomcroy. Last evening the
sheriff went to Rainier after the man,
after Justice of the Peace Goodman

D. G. D. CLUB'S BALL
A WJ SUCCESS
ATHLETIC CLUB HALL BEAU
TIFULLY DECORATED FOR
. FESTIVE OCCASION.
The dance given under the auspices
of the young ladle, of the D. M. C. D,
Club in the Athletic Club hall last
night was beautiful in all its appoint
ments. The crowd was large, though
not too large for comfort. It was a
leap year dance and this idea was car
ried out in all the details. It was the
ladies who extended invitations to
their gentlemen friends, and it was
the laclte. who sought partners for
the various numbers on the program
It took a little 'time fur the gentle
men to become accustomcr to tlva
change of custom, but soon they
learned their lesson and aat meekly
still until they were politely asked to
put their name, down on the card..
There wa. merriment in this, too, and
it caused much amusement, and more
than that, it caused a little embarra.s
ment, for some of the girls found
themselves writing their own names
down on their own cards. Then
when the number came there would
be a scurrying to find who it wa. that
had been asked for the dance.
the decoration, ol the nail were
very fine, and appeared beautiful un
aer tne many iignts, oreenery wa.
entwined all about the walls and raft
er., while festoons of red paper bells
hung from every available point. The
red and green colors predominated
finely and gave an air of richness to
the scene that was highly attractive.
Punch was served. The music was
excellent, and the only criticism was
that the dances seemed all to short,
though there were 24 number, on the
program and they gave everyone all
the dancing that the law allow, for
one night. The night, too, was beau
tiful, without any wind or rain to
spoil the pretty gown, and thus
everything conspired to make the
D. M. C. D. ball one long to be
pleasantly remembered.
The programs were of exceptional
bcauty,Nthe outside covers having all
been painted by hand.
The prettiest feature, of the ball
came as a complete surprise, inertly
before 11 o'clock the lights were put
out, after an announcement had been
made of what wa. coming, and all the
ladies gathered in one end of the
hall. From there they commenced a
march about the hall, each lady car
rying a Japanese lantern on a little
rod swung over her shoulder. The
effect was indescribably pretty. In
the darkened hall the lights shone
with an effect that was more than
pretty, and the ladies marched in
beautiful figures about the room, fol
lowing leader, who led in pretty con
volutions. Followina this each ladv
wa. given a tiny bell to attach to hc"r
partners' wrist, and these tinkled with
musical effect as" the dances went on.
The D. M. C. D. girls won many
congratulations for the beauty and
success of their leap year ball.
had compelled the complaining wit
ness, who is also a Finn, to put up
enough money to cover the costs of
the ease. Last night Chief Oberg
found the accordion in a local pawn
shop. It had been "soaked" for $18.

Astoria's Greatest Clothiers
The originality of the play, the
vivid portrayal of its central role, the
even excellence of the cast and the
tasteful beauty of the production, are
contributing factors in the happy ra
sult which Florence " Roberts, under
John Cort's able management, has
reached in her presentation of "The
House of Bondage." Those who have
had the pleasure of seeing the play
declare that Miss Roberts is peculiar
ly suited, that her company is by far
the strongest she has ever' had and
that Mr. Cort has mounted the play
with generosity and judgment.
"The House of Bondage," which
comes to the Astoria .theatre on
Wednesday, January 6, is the work of
Seymour Obermer and, while it deals
with England's select, it hits a sub
ject that is interesting to as high a
degree on this side of the Atlantic as
the other. It points not only a moral,
but several of them, yet it is not a
sermon. It is an exposition of incon
trovertible facts from which the audi
tor can draw his own conclusion and
from which, doubtless, numerous con
flicting conclusions are drawn. It is s
big theme that Obermer has built up
on and its said to have been couched
in telling language. Miss Roberts h
supported by Arthur Forrest, Thur
low Bergen, Ann. Warrington, Mary
Bertrand, Hallet Bosworth and Harrv
Gibbs, each a thorough artist. The
scenes of the piece are laid in Eng
land and Switzerland and exquisite
staging has won great, praise for Mr.
Cort.
Astoria', delegation to the annual
meeting of the Oregon National
Guard Association at Portland, con
sisting of Captain Charles H. Abcr
crombie, First Lieutenant Karl
Knobloch, and Chaplain W. S. Gil
bedt, ol First Company, Coast Artil
lery, have returned jrom the pleas
ant conference and are immense!
pleased with the affair both in a mili
tary and a social way. Secretary
Lieutenant J. O. Sutton, of this com
pany, had to forego the trip and '
correspondingly regretful about it.
The gathering was held in the Mul
nomah county armory, the finest in
the State, and was attended by 106
officers, including a number of regular
officers from the army post at Van
couver, Wash. The conference lasted
for two days, Monday and Tuesday,
and was rich in beneficial results and
entertaining and instructive matter
for all concerned.
A series of high-class addresses
and papers were presented by the fol
lowing named officers, and contribut
ed strongly to the decided interest of
the occasion: By Major H. .
Hawthorne, U. S. A, of Vancouve-;
Major R. H. Noble, U. S. A., Van
couver; Colonel James Jackson, In
spector General, O. K, G.; Colonel
Geo. O. Yoran, Fourth Infantry, O.
N. G.; Major F. B. Hamlin, Fourth
Infantry, O. N. G.; Captain Samuel
White, Third Infantry, O. N. G.;
Captain C. A. Murphy, Third Infan
try. O. N. G.; Captain W. E. Caril,
Assistant Surgeon, O. N. G.; the
whole affair winding op with a gen
eral conference on Tuesday evening,
at which the present and future of the
military service of the State were dis
cussed at large and . a number of
preparatory steps taken looking to its
distinct advantage in many ways,
Among the larger matters taken up
at the conference was the Armory
Appropriation bill, which was so v!g
orously opposed by the State Grange
on the ground that in compelling all
counties to erect and maintain armor
ies no exception was' made of those
counties already so equipped and so
contributing. An amendment was
offered and adopted exempting Such
counties as now possess and keep up
these establishments, and the bill :o
this fleet will be placed before-the
people at the proper time, as a refer-
dum measure.
Another bill was agreed upon in
creasing the present appropriation by
the state to, its artillery companies.
from $500 per annum to $600 a year;
and this will be submitted to the
Legislature this winter. A third bill
of importance was one absolutely
prohiibting civilians from wearing U.
S. army uniforms, with sharp penal
ties; and is intended to discourage the
shameful traffic in these garment.-,
which offense has been, a source of
annoyance and disgracewith men and
officers of the Guard for some time.
The re-election of Brigadier-Gen
eral Finzer and his staff (with the
exception of the treasuryship, which
went to Major Dunbar), gave grest
satisfaction to all present, and h
conceded to be a source of strength
and reliance in the future handling
of the State troops.
After the business of the soldiers
was ended, there was the usual livly
turn given to the meeting, the jolliest
expression, being in the form of a
Christmas tree, at which the fun of
the hour" broke loose in the way of
ridiculous gifts that passed among the
officers present, each and all of them
as suggestive and amusing as they
could be made. Chaplain Gilbert is
sued from this pleasant- contest the
possessor of a splendid Armstrong
army overcoat, the gift of the as
sembled officers, and one that he
prizes beyond expression.
Taken by and large, the meeting
was one of value and real concern- to
every officer present and must result
in many additional benefits to the
service in which it was called.
The very best board to be obtained
in the city is at "The Occident
Hotel." Rates very reasonable.
