Plaintiff Lose Suit- In the case of C, T. Hubbard vs. T. A. Davis, tried before Judge Mc Bride and a jury in circuit court, a verdict was returned for the defend ant, who wa represented by Attor ney Eakin. Attorney Curtis appeared tor the plaintiff. The case was an intercstintr one and was finally won by the defendant upon point of law. Hubbard and Davis are residents of Seaside, where they are well known. Davis had been In partnership with J. R. Wilkinson, and when they broke up their partnership he took over the business and assumed all liabilities, giving his partner, Wilk inson, a note for $400 to insure him against being called upon to pay any of the outstanding debts; and later. Wilkinson assigned the note to a re lative, C. T. Hubbard, who brought suit. Hubbard' ease was defeated by, the showing that he had given no consideration for the note; while the note itself was finally defeated by the showing that it had been given as a security against liability on Wilk inson's part, and by the proof that Davis had paid all the outstanding liabilities of the firm, and the exist ence of the note was conditioned on the continued existence of the liabili ties. State Tax Raised The state board of equalization has announced its apportionment of state taxes in accordance with its complet ed equalizations. Many changes were made, and among other thing Clat sop county state taxes were made about $4000 higher. This means that ih state board evidently did not think the assessment in this county had been high enough. An interest ing question arises, as to the possi bility of this extra $4000 being raised. The Clatsoo county authorities have in accordance with the law made their annual levy and commenced the col lection ol taxes. How can 'they, then, ret this extra $4000 in this year's levy? To secure the $4000 it would be necessary to make a new assess ment of thc county, and to make a new lew and a new collection of taxes, while a goodly number of peo-1 pie already hold receipts for the taxes for this year. It looks as if the state won't get the $4000 from Clatsop county this year, unless tt suggests some plan to raise the money. Rautio Goes Free- August Rautio, the saloonkeeper who seemed to want to pass 10 days in the county jail, rather than pay his fine of $20 for violation of the Sun day laws, has been disappointed in his desire. Yesterday Judge Mc Bride issued execution against a debt owing to Rautio, and out of it was collected the $20 fine. Then Rautio wa told that his presence in .the county jail was no longer desired and he was politely usnerett out- , ine ,n,.niv collected the . total sum of aWit $1100 in fines against the saloonkeepers who pleaded guilty of the Sunday closing violations. All this iroes into the school funds. Near ly all of the saloonkeepers were fined twice, $20 on each of two indict ments. ' New Boys' Suits. Herman Wise has just received the first installment of Spring suits for boys, age 3 to 16, which he selected while East. Warrant Called Warrants have been called by the city treasurer to date in the sum of $9016.04, on both tpecial and general fund. All of thi money ha ceased to draw interest and naturally it would behoove the holder of the warrant to secure their money and place it elsewhere, and beside the city treasurer, Mr. Dealey, could thu keep thing "cleaned up" Awaiting Examination Sappho Craine, the French woman taken from thi city to Portland by Immigration Inspector R.'P. Bonham on Wednesday last for examination by the federal authorities a to her legal deportation to France, a an obnoxious character, is now in the hands of the good sister of the Good Shepherd at Portland pending that examination, which will take (lace in a few week. Mr. Bonham goe to the metropolis in the morning to at tend the examination of Lum, the Chinaman arrested here a few days ago, owing to irregularities in his admission paper, Sad Message Received A telegram reached thi city yes terday morning, from a mountain re sort near Boston, Mass.,' announcing the death of Mrs. W. E. Simpson, of Boston, an elder ister of Eugene Bussing of thi city, and who will be happily remembered here by many who met her when she visited here three year ago. Mrs. Simpon wa 49 years of age, and the oldest of six children, all the rest being still alive. She died from a complication of mal adies, chief of which was a nervous affection superinduced by the loss of her husband and her only child. The family has the sympathy of their many friends in thi city. Wedded Lart Night- At 8 o'clock last evening, at the home of Mr. and Mr. Charle Eck- lund. on Third street, the destinies of Mr. Charles Lager and Miss Otga Johnson were united according to the beautiful ritual of the Lutheran church in the bonds of wedlock. Rev. G. E. Rydnuist, of the Memorial' Lutheran church officiated. The house wa daintily decorated for the happy event and there was a gocdly number of the friends of the young principals present. A felicious wedding supper waa served and a delightful evening spent by all whose good fortune it was to be there. Mr. and Mrs. Lager will make Astoria their future home. Will Improve The Road- Confirmation reached this city yes terday of the long mooted rumor that the authorities of the Astoria & Co-. lumbia River Railway would dis tinctly improve the right-of-way of the line and add new cars and amplify the service between thi city and the coast and between here and Portland. The extent of the improve. ments are up to the mark of $160,000, and will be of the very best when completed. It is proposed to rock the line from Goble to Astoria and khence to Seaside, and place 75- pound steel rails wherever they may be lacking at present, notably on the line south of Carnahan, the rest of the route having them. It is said that the train service s to be embellished with a number of new coaches of modern type and finish, and that a fast schedule is to be put on for the whole system for both freight and passenger traffic- Councilman Talks "Never again," said Councilman Bclland yesterday, "will I vote in the council to Grant a saloon license to a 'man who has been convicted of keep ing his saloon open on Sunday, or who oleads guilty to the same of tense." It is known that at least one Vw n.nr. ntW ronncilemn feel the VI HIV'5 same way about this question. Mr Belland evidently did not mean that he would necessarily vote to refuse a 'license for any of the present ones who have pleaded guilty, but that he would in all future cases that may ... , 1 1 arise.

AN OPEN STATEMENT. To Whom It May Concern: During all of yesterday, one or more persons, maliciously inclined and without warrant of troth, circulated a report on the streets of Astoria, that I was, personally, responsible for the finding of certain in dictments against certain of the saloonmen of this city for violations of the laws and or dinances, and using my name in other scandalous and dis honorable relations: For the benefit ,of all to whom these things have been uttered, and by way of warn ing to those indulging in this sheer defamation and wanton falsehood. I here, and now, declare that I have never been connected with a single case now before the district, or any other, court, with regard to any violation of the saloon or liquor laws of city or state, either as complainant, witness or informer. ' - I make this open statement not alone on my own account, as a citizen, but with a view to protecting the interests I have the honor to serve in one of the leading institutions of the city of Astoria.
