Public School School statistic of the month end ing January 6, a compiled for Super intendent Clark, (how, that the total number of pupil in attendance wat 1414, of this number 724 being boy and 690 being girl.

" Tenth Street Sewer s It is quite certain that the Tenth street sewer Is badly choked, or badly broken, somewhere along ita line from Exchange street northward to the river, and in need of instant attention from the atrect department It hard ly serves a lateral tewe on its route for that distance and will soon be come decidedly offensive unlea rem cdicd, It may be one of the effects of the recent fierce gale and the subse quent congestion arising from it, but whatever it is, it is in urgent need of complete overhauling. , '' False Alan " ' At 6:30 o'clock last evening an alarm of fire wa turned into the de partment through Box No. 17, at the corner of Commercial and Twelfth atreet and the department , made a fait response to it, but all search for fire or threat of fire waa vain, and the apparatus were sent back to the sta tions. An examination of Box 17 re vealed the fact that it had not been opened nor used and the conclusion was accepted that the wires were crossed for an instance in the neigh borhood and the call was sent in by contact. , ' : "' ' Hot Drinks Coffee and Chocolate.

They chased it away from' the Ross-HIggln dock and finally captured it on the Callen der dock. The bone was very thirsty and was after water. The officers gave it a drink from a bucket, and later one or two more buckets of water, all of which it drank greedily, Th animal had evidently been shut up In some yara where it could get no water and finally broke out. That it was not under shelter during the storm was Indicated by big icicles that hung to its mane. Th District 8choolt . . A far a it known the various di tnct Khoou through the county have been able to continue their e siont during the past week of snow and storm. At all events no reports to tbje contrary have been received at the office of the county superintend ent of schools, and therefor It is be lieved that the country children man aged td brave the bad weather. Mrs. M. Lowe is acting in the place of Miss Emma C, Warren,- the , super iutendent, during her vacation in Southern California.,, A letter lust received from Miss Warren states that she is enjoying her trip south very much. She is in Los Angeles and will return about February 6. Cruelty to Animals A warrant was issued yesterday for the arrest of "Vegetable Charlie," one of the Chinese market gardeners whose truck farm is south of Smith's Point," Charlie Is aecused of cruelty to .animals, inasmuch as his horse was left outside during all of the past week of snow and cold. Neighbors fivtr that, they saw the poor horse out in the storms without anything to eat, and (hat they complained to the Chinaman about it, his only response being that there wa nothing to eat for the horse in the stable. The warrant was issued at the Instance of Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Jirowncll, and Is based on complaint )nad In justice court. From all ac count the ' horse wat used very badly. Numeroua complaints have been made at various times in rela tion to this same borse, for its mastct at times beat it cruelly. ' Low Death Rate . According to the tabulated state ment of deaths occurlng in the city of Astoria during the year 1903, as com piled by Dr, Reames, the city health officer, the percentage of deaths was remarkable small. The total number of deaths was 130 from all causes, and with' a population of approxi mately 15,000 this leaves death rate of less than 1 per cent.

All of which points to the claim often made that Astoria is one of the healthiest cities in the United Slates. Investigating Its Rights It is said that President Hugh Filch of the Portland Stevedores' Union, has been In the city for the past'48 hours,' conferring with the officers and members of the local union of thateraft, with a view to determining wftat course shall be pursued in the event the matter of the French bark Asineres, now lying off the Tongue, waiting to be hauled alongside the Hammond Lumber Company's docks for a lumber cargo, shall attempt to load his vessel wilh his own crew. Just how the matter will terminate is, as yet, an interesting problem to all concerned; but the contention of the union stevedore is, as nearly as can be ascertained,, that if this csutom is permitted to become engrafted on the port, that every French ship that comes to the Columbia will insist on the same practice, to the certain and extensive detriment of the workers in that field of labor and a distinct finan inl loss to the port itself, let alone the establishment of the untoward precedent; and ' is said the local men will endeavor in all practical ways to discourage the proposition," once for all. The issue of the matter will be looked for with exceeding interest from more than one direction. Sheriff t al Sued . Complaint has been filed in the cir cuit court of Multnomah , county against the American Surety Com pany, of New York, R. W. Bruna, its agent, Frank S. Kelley, and theri M. R. Pomeroy of Clatsop county. The plaintiff is L. A. Torter. The git of the suit is that the plaintiff, Porter, owed the defendant surety company a sum of money; that mean time be had done some contract work at Fort Stevens wherefore the gov ernment owed him $270 and in pay ment sent him postal orders for that amount In its effort to collect its debt the defendant surely company is allceed to have interested Sheriff Pomeroy, though as far as the com plaint Is concerned not the 'slightest intimation is made anywhere of any criminal or civil proceedings having been brought against the plaintiff. The complaint states that the defend ants did , "unlawfully, maliciously, wantonly and wickedly conspire for the purpose of wrongfully extorting money from the plaintiff, and to that end did unlawfully conspire together to arrest and imprison said plaintiff." The complaint further state that he wa "arrested and imprisoned" in the office of the sheriff from 2 o'clock in the afternoon to 7 o'clock at night Damages in the sum of $10,000 are asked by Porter for the alleged false mprlsonment. Porter had signed over the postal order as a result of what he allege to have been the con spiracy to intimidate and arrest him. : Have You Been There? If you haven't it's time you called.

Alcohol is a Preservative. Alcohol is recognized the world over a the proper, most efficient and wholesome preserver of medicinal compounds, and while some journal ists try to alarm the- world by the cry that patent . meaicmcs , wmm more alcohol than beer," they neglect to state that proprietary medicines are, taken in doses from a teaspooh ful to a tablcspoonful, while beer is a 'beverage that is consumed in quan tise from a glass to several quarts a day." - : : . c" - ' Lydia E. Finkham's Vegetable Compound contains only 18 per cent alcohol, simply enough to preserve the roots and herbs from which it is made, and may be relied upon by ev ery woman in the land as a reliable, honest and sure remedy for the ills peculiar-to her sex. . " , ' The Man Who Eata. ' The man who eats does so with the expectation of being satisfied. To this end he seek the best possible place to gratify his normal appetite at the most rational expense. These ac counts for the steady stream of peo ple to and from the portals of the Palace Restaurant in this city.,, The reputation of the Palace is founded immoveably upon the certainty and amplitude of the service it renders to every purse, and appetite, big and little.

Mayor Smith yesterday afternoon filed the list of his standing commit tee, appointments. The full list is herewith given: . Way , and Means Pracl, Curtis, Belland. Health and Police Karincn, Fox. Schmidt Streets and Public Ways Fox, Bel la nd, Wilson. Fire and Water Leincnweber, Wil son, Slaneeland. Public Property Stangeland, Cur tis, Pracl. Wharve and Waterfront Schmidt, Karinen, Leincnweber. From the standpoint of the politic ian who likes to figure out things this list of committees is more or less in teresting, though on the whole the committees are apparently most ex cellent ones. In fact, it would not be possible to appoint a committee of the council that would not be a good one, because of the men in' the coun cil. It may be noticed that the three men who did not get the chairman ship of any committee " are Belland, Curtis and Wilson, and it is known that the new ordinance which Coun cilman Curtis is about to introduce will provide for a judiciary commit tee, which be by reason of hi pro fession and as the introducer of the ordinance, would naturally expect to be the head of. That would leave Wilson and Bellland as the only men who wont have the chairmanship of committees. Of .course it should not be forgotten, that there are nine councilmen and only six committees, so that each man could not get the premier place on a committee. Han sens place on streets and public ways is taken by Fox; Kaboths place at the head of the committee on fire and water is now taken by Leincnweber. It is likely to be said that Mayor Smith has done well in appointing his committees, for those that are togeth er probably will do excellent "team work," and it is not an easy or pleas ant task to formulate the committees so as to please all. Belland is the president of the council, so he is not lacking in recognition of his ervices, and this leaves Wilson as the only man who has not been yet distinctive ly recognized in some way though of course Mr. Wilson is on two import ant committees, streets and fire. Some of Mayor Smith'i presumed political opponents seem to have . been dealt with in gracious spirit , Shoes at Cost Don't forget that pair of shoes to day that you have been wanting for so long.

The Pure Food Law. Secretary Wilson says, "One of the obiects of the law is to Inform the consumer of the prescence of certain harmful drugs in medicines." The law requires that the amount of chlo roform, opium, morphine, and other habit form:.ig drugs be stated on the label of each bottle. I he manufac turers of Chamberlains cough remedy have always 'claimed that their reme dy did not contain any of these drugs, and the truth of this claim is now fully proven, as no mention- of them is made on the label. This remedy is not only one of the safest, but one of the best in use for coughs and colds. Its value has been proven beyond question during 'ae many years it has been in general use.

To meas ure the contents of Uncle Sam's game bag during the new year is the object of a concerted effort in which sports men from every section of the country are joining the National Association of Audubon Societies in this city to day. Detailed records of each day's shoot are to be secured from every true sportsman and required by law of every one else, it is proposed, in all states where the Audubon and sport ing interests will urge the crying need of legislation to this effect Unless the annual inroads upon thfi rapidly decreasing game of America are thus determined, the leaders of the new movement declared to-day, shooting as a healthy recreation will soon be killed in almost every region of the continent ' ' ' ' ' - That the health, crops and woods, as well as the sporty of many exten sive localities ,are to-day 'seriously menaced by the extinction of game tiirds will be demonstrated by the lat est results, of the scientific investiga tions of government authorities at Washington. Water fowl and shore birds will be shown in their natural capacity of destroying the anopheles mosquito as well as many other' re cognized distributors of deadly germs. Gulls and many other varieties of sea and inland water birds will be proven by ornithological experts to be whole sale destroyers of grasshoppers and a multitude of the insects which cause an annual crop and forest loss of near ly a billion dollars, or more than the entire national debt as recently , an nounced according to the most recent calculations of the government Bur eau of Etymology. The case of Salt Lake City, whose people have erected a momument to the gulls that saved all their crops from destruction by an insect plague will also be cited. In every one of the forty-four state legislatures which are beginning to convene for the new year special ef forts to obtain legal provision for this game census are being planned among organized sportsmen and ' Audubon workers. Where a hunter's license Number with each S5 35 per-cent How's This for a AN' Astoria's Reliable Clothier law is already in force the addition of a law to enforce the recording of all game birds and animals shot will be urged. It is proposed, in order to pro tect the true sportsmen and to detect market hunters, to punish failure to report the Season's shoot by a for feiture of license and false returns by proceeding as against perjury. Spec ial blanks for the purpose are being prepared as an attachment to all hun ters' license cards. ; - When the purpose and necessity of this widespread checking up of the nation's game bag is realized by the people at large, the labor of compet ing the records of the individual pro wess of millions of hunters will be be gun. In this gigantic task the offi cers of the National Association of Aububon Societies have been pre- mised the hearty assistance of the di- rector of the National Conservation Commission, a coordinate branch of which their organization has become by the special invitation of the author ities at Washington.

"The proposed census is the only sure way of deter - mining the extent of the existing com- mercial bird butchery and the means to check it. Though we shall, of course, have to tignt tne orgamzeu and financially powerful market hun- tcrs at every step toward this and I feel sure that the support of the sport- mcn wi llhelp us greatly and that we may rely upon the support of every patriotic American as well.' The whole public debt of this nation has just been reported ( as ?w,V3i. with a known annual loss of many mil lions more than this due to the grow ing inroads of the insects which our game birds destroy, I do not think Americans can ignore this subject much longer."
