Wrap ped in a blanket, the insane man was taken to the city jail, bound hand and foot. At the station Mays declared he had disrobed to prove that he was an angel from God. - The usual formal ity of searching the prisoner was dis pensed with. Still manacled, the la borer was locked up in a strong cell, where he squirmed out of the blanket and began to shout that he was the devil come to put Billy Sunday out of business.

IS CANDIDATE Mil INTERESTING QUESTION AS TO SENATOR FULTON-S ATTI TUDE IN THE MATTER. Postmaster John Hahn has an nounced to his friends that he is a candidate for re-appointment to the office, and for several weeks past he has been looking into the matter. Yesterday Mr. Hahn went out among certain of the leading business men of Astoria with a petition, which is ad dressed to the postal authorities and asks for his reappointment. This peti tion has now been signed by several hundred. Just when Postmaster Hahn's term expires may be a matter of some slight doubt. Apparently his commis sion was dated on the 23rd day of January, 1905, running for a period of four years, but it was not received by him and he did not take hold of the office until April 16th of that year; and hence he thinks there may be a doubt as to the term expiring before April 16 of this year. But with the expectation that the appointment of a successor might be made during the present term of Congress, and before January 23, he has prepared his petition to send to the postal authorities, and he will ask for the appointment again on the grounds of personal fitness and be cause of the excellence of the postal service here during his incumbency. In all those cases wherein there is competition among two or more of such offices, and one of the men is a veteran of the civil or Spanish wars, there seems to be a ruling that pref erenceall others things being equal ihall be given to the ex-soldier, and apparently Mr. Hahn is counting on his service during the civil war to stand him in stead now. Of course the whole matter lies al most wholly in the hands of Senator Fulton, but it may be suspected that his influence will not be extended to Mr. Hahn. Who the other avowed candidates are for the place has not yet become oublie property, though it is well known that Frank J. Carney's name has been frequently mentioned, and it is said to be understood that Mr. Carney will receive the support of some of the leading Republican poli ticians, and perhaps will receive Mr. Fulton's support. The name of Charles W. Haider- man, Senator Fulton's private secre tary, is also mentioned though be neath the surface and as a matter of political conjecture, as the man who may get it, especially if there be any contest at all among other competing candidates. At all events it is one of the plums that is going to fall into somebody's hat, and just for whom Senator Fulton is going tp shake the bough is probably only known to him self and a very few of his intimates here now. Senator Fulton's undoubt ed power at Washington, both with the . outgoing and the incoming ad ministrations, leaves little hope for the man whom he may choose to ac tively oppose. But just as a matter of humor, some have begun to permit themselves to wonder what Jonathan Bourne may try to do in the question of the post- mastership of the second city in the state since Senator Fulton has chos en to hold up Senator Bourne's ap pointee in Portland. WIFE BAILS HIM OUT. Find Husband a Vagrant in Work house and Rescues Him. ST. LOUIS, Jan. 2. In the com pany of an officer of the East St. Louis police department, C. B. Need ham of Somerville, Mass., a Boston suburb, who is reputed to be wealthy, departed today for his home. His wife is bearing the expense of the trip. Needham was found in the Belleville 111., workhouse serving a sentence on the charge of vagrancy. For three months his wife has sought him since the day he escaped from her in St. Louis, where she was preparing to have him placed in an asylum. He came here in October suffering from a nervous breakdown. He had been working in Florida. Mrs. Needham located him in East St. Louis and came from Boston, and it was while she was arranging to have him placed in an asylum that he escaped from ber. Recently he re appeared in East St. Louis and was put in the workhouse until his wife could be advised. The police say he is suffering mental aberration. AW ...BIG REDUCTIO $2.00 2.50 3.00 4.00 5.00 SMOKING JACKETS CITY ATIOHY FILES ill REPORT . REVIEWS WORK OF LEGAL DEPARTMENT DURING THE YEAR OF 1908. City Attorney Charles A. Aber mmhif vrttrrHav filed an annual re- nri r.r his rlrnartment with the citv yvt ft V " wy -------- ' auditor, for presentation to the com mon council. It is as follows: In accordance with time honored custom, if not my actual duty, I here with submit my annual report of the legal department of the municipal eovernment, and while it does not contain much of great interest it is for the reason that during the la it year the city has not been involved in any very serious legal difficulty. The only legal action filed against the city during the year was that of Miss Annie Anderson for the recov ery of $20,000 damages, for injuries alleged to have been received through defective street. This action is be fore the United States circuit court and will in all probability be tried some time next 'year. The other cases, three in number, are oolice court cases taken to the circuit court on appeal, and are of no relative importance. The legal questions that have arisen during the last year have been nu merous, and it shall remain to be seen whether the opinions of the legal de partment have been correct or other wise. The council has seen fit to improve manv streets during the last twelve months and I believe no part of the expense of such improvement will fall upon the city. In several instances the common council has seen fit to disregard the opinion of the city attorney upon le- 1 matters. Without commenting on is at length, I will only say that while it is not only bad form, it is also bad practice. In conclusion, I have only to say that I consider the past year to have been a successful one, and at this time I desire to state that I feel very grate pa n r" n mm L3 13 Begins Jan. 4,1909 150 Boy's School Suits - - - 1-2 Off 100 Boy's Fine Suits - - - 1-3 Off 100 Youths Suits . - - - - 1-2 Off 100 Youths extra fine Suits - - 1-3 Off 200 Men's Suits values $13,50 to $20 at $6.35 to $7.65 300 Men's Suits values $15 to $25 at - $9.85 Underwear suits Underwear now suits Underwear now suits Underwear now suits Underwear now suits Underwear now AT THE HOME OF HART SCHAFFNER & MARX ful, for the assistance rendered my office, to Mr. Wise, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Tee, and to their wise and gen erous assistance I attribute in great part the success of the city's legal department during the past year.
