Perhaps if the sheriff and police officers were "to peek over transoms ana mrougn Key noies rooay tney .J .

For It looks as if this is to be a quiet Sunday in Astoria with all the front and back doors of the places of good cheer closed tight The presence of the grand jury is the . all-important fact, and the scary feel nig that is abroad since the indict ments and big fines in the circuit court the past week. If the saloons are closed today that fact will postpone for a time longer the dilemma which threatens the police force, for like a bogey man the Curtis resolution arises to worry the minds of the hard working police officers. That resolution calls npon them to close up the saloons on Sundays or else to lose their salaries. "As long as the laws are on the statute books I will enforce them,' said District Attorney Tongue in court a few days ago; and his ac tions are speaking fonder than his words. The grand jury has not yet got around to the evidence that is said to hare been collected against many of the local saloonkeepers, and pTob ably that will be the principal work of tine week. The Xyberg cases will arise Tues day, probably, and if he is convicted en any one of the eight indictments still against him it will apparently mean a jail sentence for him, as the Taws in relation- to selling liquor in a "dry" precinct provide that upon a second' conviction a jail sentence shall, be imposed. It is understood that the district attorney will insis' that Jfyberg either plead guilty or stand trial on all of the indictments still outstanding. Check Artist At Work Another check artist developed yesterday. Two checks were cashed by Charles Niemi, for a fellow who said his name was Leo. H. Dean. One of the checks was for $10 drawn St favofof 'Leo. H- Dean and signed by R. H. Jose on the First National Bank and No. 321. The other one was drawn in favor of the same party on the Astoria National Bank for $16 and was signed A. F. Jose and bore the same number -321. On pre sensation at the banks it was found Ho such man as "Jose" had an ac count there. The matter has been turned over to the jolice but so far the fellow has not been caught. LEGISLATIVE FUN.

Under the ordinary procedure the day was set apart for the consideration of bills on the private calendar, but because of the House having recessed each day since Monday, under the rules, it was still the legislative day of that tlatc. Mr. Simms of Tennessee main tained that it was Friday, while the Speaker insisted amid laughter it was Monday. - "It is true said the Speaker, This is Friday in the calendar made by the sun, but by the journal of the House it is Monday." "If we should adjourn now," in - ,..... .... - - - h. cah,I, Tuesday." The Speaker suavely replied that tomorrow would be not only the calendar but the legislative day of Saturday. "And Friday would be gone?" in' terjected Mr. Sims. "It would," solemnly responded the Speaker. "Then I move we adjourn," said Mr. Kimball of Kentucky. Before the question could be put Mr. Macon of Arkansas suggested that the clock be turned back, saying he had several times seen the House do that. A roar of laughter went up when Speaker Cannon, speaking slowly, said: "The un was stopped at one time by the Lord on Joshua's request," but he insisted, amid more laughter, that he had never seen "the house turn the clock back." HIGH FINANCING- UTICA, N. Y Feb. 20.-Prorm-nent laymen in the northern New York conference have started a movement for an organization to be called the Methodist Episcopal Foun dation Fund Association- It is plan ned to form a J2,000,000 corporation to assist the Methodist Church fi nancially throughout the United! States. It is proposed to secure the co-operation of 17 laymen and eight ministers to carry on work and the approval of the bishops will be songht before definite arrangements- are made. The funds accumulated will be deposited in a trust ontpany to be especially organized under the aus pices of the chnrch. Fat is Out of Style To paraphrase Caesar's remark, the directoire gown came was seen ancf has conquered. So fat ladles are re duced, so to speak, to the. necessity of either reducing at a very rapid rate or eliminating themselves from public view until the fashion dies out. Otherwise they risk being ridiculous. Since many fat ladies will not eliminate themselves, however, but, per contra, will insist on wearing the curveless gown, no course is open to this well-meaning scribe other than, to tell them bow they may eliminate the fat. What is there, then, that reduces fat safely? What pleasant inexpen sive article is there on druggists' shelves that can reduce a pound a day without causing wrinkles or stomach ache? What can the phar mocist offer as an improvement over scanty victuals or ten mile walks without breakfast? Is there anything pleasant to take and inexpensive to buy that will reduce one uniformly, quickly and innocently 30 pounds a month? Here is the answer: Either write the Marmola Company, Detroit Mich-, or ask your local druggist for Marmola Prescription Tablets, and for 75 cents they or he will give you one large case of these safe fat re ducers, containing so generous a quantity of tablets that sometimes one case only is needed to produce the desired results.

TOKIO, Feb. 20,-The special correspondence to the Asahi from its San Francisco correspondent con tinues to represent the situation as most alarming. These specials claim that the anti-Japanese seniment is rapidly spreading and that the war feeling in America is general. The specials, widely circulated and copied, contribute to sustain the feel ing of uneasiness among the Japan ese people. Nichi, Nichi a paper owned by K. Kato, th Japanese am bassador to England which commen ted with great bitterness during the earlier stages .of the anti-Japanese legislation by the California Legisla ture in a lengthy editorial on "the anti-Japanese sentiment in Americat published today says: "Americans continue to regard Jap an with suspicion and this ill-feeling continues notwithstanding the efforts of the Japanese government and peo ple to prove the sincerity and cor diality of their feelings.

Chicago Jurist iff Severely Rebuked By His Colleagues. CHICAGO, Feb; 20,-Judge Mc- Kenzie Cleland's reign as the "Little Father of the Parole System,'' as practiced by him irr the municipal coort. has reached arr inglorious end. Judge Cleland has been criticized for some time because he has been sus pending sentences dufiag good be- ftavior and his efforts t reform ac cused persons brought before him in the criminal branch. His fellow judges have declared his method's il legal. At a stormy meeting of the purists he was transferred to the civ il branch and the order" will take ef feet Monday. At a lat sessiow of his "reporting" court at" which his charges were scheduled to appear, his "paroles" were either discharged or were sent to the Bridewell to serve the original penalties imposed. Twenty four judges were arrayed against him in extraordinary ses.-ton. Chief Justice Olson summed trp the case against Judge Clelamf. "The court's quarrel with yon." said he, addressing Judge Clelamf, "is not that you may have shown kind ness to the prisoners brought before you. for that is done every day by every judge of this court The court's quarrel with you is that yon have usurped rights of citizenship that are as old as the magna darter. You hare overriden the rights of the poor and the ignorant, who knew nothing of a writ of habeas corpus or an ap peal to the Supreme Court Other judges challenged Cleland to stand before the people and con fess himself ignorant of the princi ples of the law he had violated and the Chief Justice declared that the jurist under fire asknowledged the danger from the opper courts when, as he once did, he said, he would di miss the case against a paroled pris oner in order to keep an appeal of an application for a writ of habeas cor pus from being heard. Judge CleVand told the assembled judges that what he did in his court was none of their business ,and that as long as he continued as a judge he would administer justice as he saw fit.

He appears to have bwwsi man of unruly passions, of great lntelh-ctual power, but on whose mli-tits found thtr chief cutlet In crime. ' Oue day he-observed a beautiful girl leaving church, attended Id a manner which showed she-belonged to a family of high degree. She was. In fact, the daughter of an anctet and noble house. IIo fell violently In love with her. Though far removed from lilm ln station, his liBnd passion took no coent of this fhet, and he- determined to one for her hand. There- proved to be; however, a mors Insuperable obstacle to Ms suit The girl was alreinly betrothed to another, a young nobleman of almost equal rank and' fortune. The knowledge did not deter Tebnldo, who boldly present ed hlmoelf lfor the girfs parents la the capacity ef a suitor for her band. As might hnre been: expected, be met with a. curt and uncvremonlona rebuff.' The ropulsw rankled In hla mind.

The latter wns 'it sucb delicate construction that It penetrated the body of the victim and burled ftsetf deep In the flesh without leaving any external trace. The marriage of the betrothed cou ple was fixed to take place in the prin cipal church In Venice on a certain day. Before the ceremony Tebnldo. cuunlngly dlNgulsed. stationed himself at the church door armed with his dln: botlcn! weapon. As tho bridegroom was about to enter the building the concealed watcher pressed the spring and sunt the deadly steel lancet Into the breast of his victim. The young nobleman hud no suspicion of Injury nt the moment. In the mldnt of the ceremony, however, ho wns seized with a sharp spasm of pflln and sank fainting 011 the stopa of the altar.
