The plot, with all its romance, intrigue and portrayal of military life and enough of its pomp and circumstance to make it realistic is'worked out so skilfully that it eas ily holds the attention'! the audience through. The stage business is very effective, and the fall of the curtain is so well timed that the end of the act is made to resemble the point in a continued story, when the words "To Fighting the Beef Trust and sup plying good wholesome" meals are two different things. We handle nothing but the best at prices consistant with quality. "Our meats are 'approved by Uncle Sim and when you want meats that give satisfaction place your order with us.

The play will be presented at the" Astoria Theatre next Sunday evening. ' t BAKERONIAN LAST NIGHT. It is a long jump from the drama to vaudeville,' and we hail the change with pleasure. No doubt those who were "bold' enough to "try the' "show" out last night felt the change most agreeable. Mr. Simonton has deliv ered the goods in his program and the performance from, start to finish has the stamp of high class vaude ville. Angela May, the comic opera contralto, is easily the atar of the bill Such a contralto voice is seldom heard out of comic opera, and those who appreciate good singing should hear her during the week with the assistance of J. Louis MacEvoy. They acts out a dainty sketch to a delight ful finish, Mr". Elmer Beard who opens the bill is a clever contortionist whose work is artistic and finished. Mr. "Bob" Hendricks gives a mono logue of jokes delivered in an easy and laughable" manner, f The fHand cufif King Prof Fatuard, ' gives a sensational, mystifying act that is at once clever and surprisingly quick in its detail and one which has the local police guessing as to how it is done. The illustrated song is good and the pictures are excellent If the manage ment can keep up the high standard of the opening week the patronage of the star is sure to increase and the "S. R. 0." signs should be very much in evidence. PROMINENT PEOPLE.

Tla Kind Yea Hare Alwajs BsngSJ Steam tho 0B& Signature of I MAN A OCEAN, BAR, BAY, The rortland-Asiatic steamship j Nicomedia entered port on Sunday morning last, under command of Captain Knitschky, who Was sent to this ship from the company liner Barcelona, at Kobe, when the Nico media reached there after the myster ious death of her own master on the night of December 26th,- three day out from Hong Kong. The death of Captain Wagemanu, of the Nicome dia will forever remain a mystery of the sea; the only facts in possession of his officers and men being, that on the night of that day, the 26th, Cap tain Wagcmann went on to the bridge of his ship to give some directions as to her course and having done so de scended the ladder from the flying bridge and on the way down stumbl ed. He sat for a moment on the foot of the ladder and then moved aft among the shadows of the deck and fro mthat hour was never seen again. When it was found that he was miss ing First Officer Wesper turned the shii back on her course and made a close search for several hours after daylight, but saw no signs of the missing master; and the big liner was put back on her course for Moji and .Kobe. The conclusion of. the officers of the Nicomedia is, that being some what lame at the time, with a high sea running and the ship being very unsteady, Captain Wagemann lost his footing near the open taffrail and went over so quickly he could not make a notable outcry and was lost in the storm and darkness. It is pe culiarly sad, as he was to meet his wife on this Coast, this trip, she hav ing come out from Germany for that purpose. The ship went on to the metropolis on Sunday and will make the second of the P-A fleet now in that port. the steamship Rose City ' reached the O. R.

Clark, who are rounding out their happy wedding trip," en route to their new home at Portland, where Mr. Clark is president of the 'Columbia Trust Company.

OWENS-ADAIR WORKING HARD FOR HER BILL IS WELL RECEIVED. The following letter, just at hand from Dr. B. Owens-Adair, indicates that the Clatsop physician is still in the field and quite cheerful over the prospects ahead of her famous bill in the Legislature. Dr. Adair says: "January 24, 1909. "Editor Astonan In response to your request to send you a report from the capitol, I now take pleasure in announcing that Senate Bill 68 (my bill) was introduced by Senator Cof fee on January 19th and I think it will be reported favorably. "By invitation I addressed the Muhnomala medical association, at their regular meeting, January 19th; and notwithstanding their rush of business, including special legislative business, every attention and kindness was extended to me. Much was said in favor of the necessity of such law. Especially did Dr, W. T. Wil liamson, the president, speak in the strongest terms of the measure. "I find, as I expected, that the greatest objection to such a law, is due to the want of knowledge 6f the subject; so , few have given it a thought, And as you have said, the measure docs lm heroic and dras tic at first thought, Then, too, the old idea of the necessity of the use of the knife brings a shock. They have yet to learn th'at the knife is not ne cessary itl this humane and benign measure. And to add to this every member ts over taxed with work. Besides, his own bills, the calender is already flooded with bills to be acted upon. Folgers Golden Gate Baking IWde v A Strictly Pur?
