Wire Were Down The wires of the Postal Telegraph Company were down last night at Clatikanie," arid - while it was not known here what the trouble was, the break appeared ' io ' be a somewhat serious one." Both the Western Union and Postal were down for a couple of hours Friday afternoon, a tree having fallen over their wires near Knappa. Leaves Hospital Frank Benson, of Skamokawa, who has been at St. Mary'a hospital for five or six weeks, having gone there with a bad attack of pneumonia, left tie hospital yesterday. He Is appar ently completely recovered. Mr. Benson aays he will try to go to California for while. Had it not been for the cold snap he would have been out of the hospital a week or more ago. Cause For Celebration- There was a delightful gathering of the friends of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Engherg, of this city, last evening, in the roomy quarters of the McGregor mess-house in Aldwbrook, the occa sion being the 25th ' anniverary of their wedding. The hospitality of the worthy couple and the spontan eous spirit of their host of friends, accounted for generous measure of rnjoyment that characterised the en tertainment. Well Known Here Harrv Campion, the well known traveling auditor for the 0. R. & N, who has mm frkndl in this city, has been appointed to the post of super intendent of the tug service for the Port of Portland Commission and will assume his new duties on the first of next month. Mr. Campion is pe culiarly adapted for the position and Vill make an efficient and popular officer.

Dr. Pilkinirton dressed " the wounded member and was compelled to ampu tate the index finger of the hand but thinks he can save the rest of it, though he 'says, it is one of the worst lacerations he Has seen in many a lonn day. ,LUMP COAL,,, S5.00 Per Ton Imported Coal $7.50 per ton EIUMORB S CO Cider I Co. U In Portland G. C, Fulton and Charles Haider man, private secretary to Senator Fulton, have been in Portland the past couple of days, apparently keep ing an eye on the political develop ments there. Portland has been seething with politics lately, prepara tory to the vote for United States Senator at Salem next Tuesday. As toria's delegation, Senator Scholfield and Representatives Leinenwebcr and McCue wilt return to Salem today, after having spent the recess at home. This week promises to be a hot one in the state capital and that Senator Fulton's name and influence will be felt there seems to be highly prob- uble. Governor Chamberlain's story about enormous bribes having been offered to Statement men seem to have had little effect over the state and the governor is said to now find hlmnelf on the defenkive. Mr. Haider man returned from Portland last night. Little Sickness Dciipite the ice and sleet that pre ceded the cold weather, and the snow that lay on the ground for a week, and the quick thaw that followed all this, there seems to be a minimum of sickness in Astoria. It might have been expected that the changable weather would have brought on a harvest of grips and colds for the doctors, but instead of that the phy sicians seem to be walking up and down in their offices with glum looks, on their faces, waiting for the tele phone bells that do not ring. Sev eral physicians who were spoken to yesterday on the subject replied with all the cheerfulness that they could muster that there is "nothing doing" in their line just now. Even though the children sat huddled up in their wraps in the cold schoot rooms dur ing the days when it was not possible to warm the buildings properly, yet they did not suffer from it as they might have, and as their mothers feared they would. Enforcement Needed The common council will meet to morrow night in regular session. It if expected that Councilman Curtis will then introduce his ordinance in relation to the appointment of com mittees and aUo creating a new com mittee on Judiciary. An examination of the published- ordinances tends to how that the ground expected to be covered by Mr. Curtis' ordinance is already covered in the old ordinances, and an enforcement of the municipal laws already extent would appear to be more to be Tlcsircd than the crea tion of new laws. It is true that Councilman Curtis' proposed ordi nance would have the merit of cover ing all the ground in one ordinance, 'while the same ground is now covered bv two or three. The city laws al ready strictly provide against permit ting the chairman of a committee as suming autocratic power, as haa been done, and it would seem that enforce ment more than anything else is the thing required. An examination of the mihlisher ordinances would indi cate that the whole ground might be gone over with much profit, for, with the exception of matters covered within the past few years, the publish ed ordinances are in a pretty, bad tiiniMe. Manv are obsolete, many are duplicated, and many have been tink ered with. A complete codification would seem desirable. One picks up the published ordinances and reads that all r-oofs in the city of Astoria !mut be painted red, but it might take considerable work to definitely ascer tain if this is still law or not. Twenty other similar instances might be nointed out. Mr. Curtis, however, may show that there is real need for the ordinance he proposes. One More Week.

Cherry of this city, yes terday received formal confirmation of his appointment as British vice consul at this port, in succession of his late, lamented father. There could be nq better selection made for this Important post, and the Astorian, along with Mr. Cherry's friends, whose names are legion, find pleasure in congratulating the young benefic iary and wishing him a long and pros perous term of aervice. Start New Game In-door baseball, one of the finest games devised for the enclosed gym nasium, has been started at the Ath letic Club and the members are tak ing bold of it with an enthusiasm that is remarkable. Yesterday two teams played a game in the gymna sium, and were watched by a large number of spectators, One of the best things about the game of in door baseball is that it may be played by old and young, and it is usually as much fun for the spectators as for the players themselves. The game is somewhat similar to the regu lar game of baseball, or rather more like what boys used to call "one-old cat." The pitching is all an under handed tossing, and a regulation in door ball is used, being about three times as large as the ordinary league. The heaviest kind of batting can be done, and it is usual to organize teams and play match games. It is planned to organize such teams here and al ready there are many eager to get on them. The crowd at the gymnasium yesterday was very targe all day long. Charlie is Fined "Vegetable Charlie" was fined $10 and coats in Justice Goodman's court yesterday as the culmination of th; proceedings against him on a charge of having dealt with his old white hcrse in an inhuman manner. He had denied that it was his horse which had been so severely dealt with, al leging that his fiery steed was in good shape, but as related in the Astorian yesterday, he failed to bring in his eauine for inspection by the court. But yesterday he did bring it in Charlie's horse fell down in the mud while bcina brought over the hill, and arrived here in a condition that could not y ny stretch 'of the imagination he called pretty. But the mud was cleaned off at a livery stable, a hose was turned on the animal, a curry comb waa used briskly, oata were forced down it willing throat, a blanket of pretty colors was careless ly thiown over ii slender back, and thus trtened and prinked it was led over to justice court for inspection. Justice Goodman hardly knew what Arab ateed stood before him. But as the horse was divested of the blanket it became apparent that it really was Charlie s horse after all, for there were the sharp alpine peaks formed by its hip bones, there were the dc:p col (ligations formed by its protruding ribs, and there was the backbone that looked like the bar of a clothes horse. Justice Goodman looked for a tinw, and then lectured Charlie in the lan guage of the new testament as ap plied to modern affairs. Then came the fine of $10, which with the cost3, aggregated $18. As a matter of fact the horse is so old that it can not be fattened, probably, but much evi dence tended to show that Charlie hadn't used the humane treatment that should have been expected. .

This will give those who were kept away an account of the weather a chance to attend this week and share in the bargains. The Man Who Eats. TKe man who eats does so with the nectation of being satisfied. To this end he seeks the best possible place to gratify his normal appetite at the most rational expense.

AnUSEf.'EflTS Archie Boyd, who is playing the part of Nathaniel Berry in James A. Heme's great play, "Shore Acres," which will be seen here at the As toria Theatre, Saturday, January 23, began his stage career as an actor in the 60's about midway of the Civil War period. Being a native of St. Louis, he first associated himself with the stage in that city, taking service with the actor-manager, Ben De Bar, who at that time had theatres in St. Louis, New Orleans and Mon treal, St Louis was a city of great activity during the war period, as both armies were engaged in the State of Missouri, making it one of the storm centres of the country, St. Louis being headquarters. Mr. Boyd, with other members of the De Bar company, made frequent trips back and forth between St. Louis and New Orleans. It was perilous traveling in those . days, but Boyd was a youngster end he liked the adventure. Oftentimes the company was delayed many days, so exacting were army officials of both sides before travelers could pass from line to another. Mr. Boyd chanced to be a passenger on the railroad when the battle of Shiloh was being fought. The train was held up in consequence of the engagement and in this way he was able to go from the train across the fields, where he got a fine view of the battle. Boyd at that time wag about the drummer boy age and it required all of the per suasive eloquence of his associate members of the company to prevent his enlistment at Shiloh, notwith standing (he scenes of carnage he had witnessed. He teemed bent on want ing the become a drummer boy prob ably being so influenced because of the great array of drummer boys at Shiloh. Since the war it has been estimated that there must have been a corps of drummer boys running into the thousands, as indicated by pension office reports.
