Sis Montha In Jail Peter Nis'iinen yesterday pleaded guilty in circuit court of having stol en an accordion from a friend in Portland and he was sentenced to a term of six month in the peniten tiary. Nintlnen had no money and the court appointed Attorney Heniple to appear for him, and after making investigation the prisoner was advis ed t plead guilty. One Of Hi Last Act ' Governor George R. Chamberlain, on Saturday last, as one of the very last acts of his career as Governor, Issued a full pardon to Arthur Leb erman, a prisoner in the penitentiary, from this city and county; and the ex-accountant is, presumably, In Port land, happy in his freedom. Going To Portland John C. McCue, the well known attorney, has decided to leave Astoria for a wider field and has made ar rangements to axsociate himself with a well known Portland law firm. Mr. McCue had just made an enviable record in the state legislature as one of the representatives from Clatsop county, as a debater and parliamcn Vtlary speaker, and his very many friends here will be sorry to see him go. Yesterday Mr. McCue said he expects to leave in a few day. In many ways he has been identified , with Astoria, with public events, po- litically and otherwise, and his place here will he missed. Season Closed Yesterday Salmon fishing on the Columbia and all its tributaries, save the Wil lamette and the Clackamas rivers, which were not included in the new fish law, closed down at high noon yesterday, and was prmptly and gen erally observed at this end of the river. The excluded rivers will be attended to at the coming session of the State Board of Fisheries, under the terms of the law creating that board and defining its powers. , , the Times 1n Full Official Charge lion, John Hahn yesterday morn ing turned over, finally and complete ly, the responsibilities, duties, pleas ures and problems, of the Astoria postoflkc, fo Hon, Frank J. Carney, his successor. Germany makei way for Ireland in the exacting task of dispensing and dispersing the mails of America and incidentally, of the world. The Astorian wishes both gentlemen the best of everything in their separate walks in life. Saloona Were Closed As fas as is known all of the sa loons were closed all day Sunday, and while there were a few reports that some of the places were letting in a few men "on the quiet" nevertheless if there was any liquor sold it was done in a surreptitious manner. At the police station it was reported that all of the saloons had been eled, for the officers of the force seemed to have interested themselves sufficiently in the matter to see that the front and back doors were closed tight. Another report state several oaloons were wide open. The Peacock Case From a well known citizen of this city who has been in constant attend ance upon the notable case against Dr. Frederick Tcacock, at Cathlamet, and who returned from there last evening, 'it is learned that the case would be sent to the jury last evening upon an instructed verdict and that if that motion failed it would go to the Jurymen by noon today, in due course. This gentleman claims that the attorney for the prosecution, especially those brought into the case from outside, are making a strained effort to do their entire duty upon an issue that is not well founded in law nor justice and that their hearts are not in it because of the apparent prejudice upon which their side of the case is founded. But be that as it may, the case is expected to go to the jury today. Snow Still Linger A gentleman just in from the coun try back of Skamokawa says that the snow still lies from six to eight inches deep all over the uplands back of that town, and that there is a well packed six inches in the logging camp of the Alger plant six miles away from there. This is the prin ciple reason for the inertia that marks the logging interests of the valley, anil for the presence of so many loggers down on the river front everywhere. Ha Purchased An Interest The business heretofore known as the "Astoria Wood Yard," was this morning given the ampler title of the "Astoria Fuel & Supply Company" to differentiate it from the former con cern and to adapt it to the newer in terest just acquired by Charles W. Halderman. The company will con tinue its yards and business at the old stand at the foot of Second street, with Mr, Halderman as its energetic and capable manager, and will gradu ally enlarge the scope and character of the business. It will handle brick, lime, cement, plaster, shingles, con crete, etc., etc., along with its wide line of fuel supplies and its wood resources are to be at once enlarged to a degree that will enable it to cover every order on . the in stant. Mr. Halderman will give his undivided time and attention to the interests of the company and its pa trons, which is saying that things will be dispatched to everyone's satisfac tion.. .

Phone Main 3711 Not Vat Arrested ' John Hatifton, justice of the peace in the John Day district, who was indicted by the grand jury on charge of selling liquor In a dry dis trict, has not yet been arrested and a rumor was current yesterday that he has left the country. The same rumor stated that he had transferred hfs property. Evidently Hanson, if he has really gone, took his conge before a warrant was issued form him. His place had been searched under a war rant and intoxicants found, and he probably then expected arrest. Special Over The Route Drawn by S. P, k S. engine No. SO, the "North Bank" official coach, "Goldendalc" reached this city of Sunday morning last just ahead of the noon express, and stopped in the city long enough for its occupant to take a lunch before speeding on its way to the southerly end of the A. & C. below Seaside, The car was peo pled by General Superintendent J. Russell, Mrs. Russell; Superintendent John John McGuire; Road Master G. A, Peterson; Bridge Superintendent J. E. Long; and Master Mechanic E. L. Cronkrite, all of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway Company and the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad Company. The party came out with the general superintendent, to look over the route, as it was his first trip since his appointment to that post, The coming general re pairs that have been planned for the A- k C. are said to be at the bottom of the trip and this accounts for the presence of the very practical group of o flic i a Is that favored this city and section on Sunday. After going over the whole line, the special went back to Portland and Vancouver. Raise Wood Tariff It is reported that the new freight tariff just put out by the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad Company, advances the rate on cordwood SO cents a cord. This does not set very well in certain quarters in this citv and is taken to be just lit arbi trary. It i said the matter will be sifted out before the Oregon Railway Commission, It is aid to have ad vanced the cost of fuel wood handled by one concern in Astoria, to the tune of $5000.

The man who eat does so with the expectation of being satisfied. To this end he seeks the best possible place to gratify his normal appetite at most rational expense. These things account for the steady stream of people 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. Open day and night.

Demurrer I Sustained ' Judge McBride yesterday sustained the demurrer made by the attorneys for the Western Union Telegraph Company against the suit brought by G. M. Owen. The suit wa an un- usual one. Owen brought suit on the grounds that a telegram had not been delivered to him for two days; the message 'announcing the death of hi niece in Aberdeen. The com plaint asked for damages on the ground that the complainant had suf fered "humiliation" and "mental an guish," in not being able to attend the funeral, etc The laws do not generally contemplate that monetary damages can be secured for any men tal perturbation or anguish, for var ious reasons, the principal one being that it is a virtual impossibility to measure such damages. Therefore the attorneys for the company de murred to the complaint a not stat ing a sufficient cause of action and the demurrer wa upheld. That means the action cannot get into court. A similar case was passed upon in a similiar way in Portland a few days ago. ' PERSONAL MENTION Daniel J.

There wa a (air-sized audience out at the Astoria theatre on Sun day night last to witness the beau ties of wit and sentiment inseparable from Arthur Cunningham' portrayal of the jolly blacksmith of Kerry. Old as the play is it i yet one of the standard Irish dramas, which, like the poteen of the "outd od", grows better with the years. There is something homey and genuine about these plays; something that appeals to the better nature and yelds some thing, at the same time, to that same nature. Mr. Cunningham makes an ideal young Irish workman with high am bition born of an honest love for a dainty Irish colleen, and his acting and singing, in a series of perfectly pictured and life-like scenes, ably supported by a company of clever people, constitute one of the real pleasures to be derived from the stage as a source pi interest and en tertainment. The play went without a hitch. There wa mirth and sympathy and lively interest all over the house all the time; and a good deal of it cen tered in the fascinating Nora Drew presented by Miss Alice Condon, who was sweet and clever enough to charm far more people than mere Dan O'Hara. The Patrick Drew of H. D. Byers was exceptionally fine and was appreciated by everyone; Earle Gardiner made a lively Ray mond and a manly brother; Major Gruff s eccentricities lost nothing in their handling by George Calvert; E. R. Sinclair made a first class villain in the lines of Valentine Hay, and Miss Lillian Raymond' hoydenish and jolly Alice was a show in itself. Robert Leonard, as Captain Sidney; Dan McManus, as Sergeant Bull; W. T. Sheehan as Darby O'Drive; with all the minor assignments, were thoroughly well handled and lent the play the necessary swing and snap that fixed it as one of the pleasantest things that has come to Astoria this season. PAUL GILMORE'S PLAY. 'Boy of Company B" Take Large Audience By Storm. A glowing tribute to the American soldier was the keynote of the speech made by Paul Gilmore at the Han cock opera house last night at the conclusion of the second act of the captivating military comedy, "The Boys of Company B." After the star and the members of his company had responded to no less than a doz en curtain calls, when the' curtain was drawn on the scene showing the military camp, Mr. Gilmore acquies ced to the wishes of the large and representative audience present and made a speech, in which he compared the American soldier to the soldiers of Great Britain, France and Ger many. As Tony Allen, in civilian dress a lawyer, but in the khaki the captain of company B, a New York military organiration, Paul Gilmore has pro bably reached the zenith of his fame as a romantic actor. A pretty love story is cleverly interwoven in the plot. The object of Tony's love is Eileen MacLane, the role being the hands of Jane Aubrey, who proved as capivating as the military comedy itself. There is a military dash to the comedy throughout, and although the supporting company, especially the boys of company B, give the real military flavor to the offering, it is a dual star production with Paul Gil more and Jane Aubrey as stars of no mean magnitude. . The boxes to the right of the stage last night were resplendent in two large American flags and the flag of the Harper Kirby Rifles, the lower boxes being occupied by the com missioned and non-commissioned of ficers of the organization and -their ladies. The lower boxes on the left of the stage were given over to two box parties. In the box nearesMhe stage were Mrs. George Walker and her invited guests, Mr. and Mrs. E H. Perry, Mrs. Walter Veasey and Eugene Tips. The other lower box was occupied by Speaker and Mrs. A. M. Kennedy, Representative and Mrs. H. D. Brown and Former Rep resentative arid Mrs. J. F. Onion. ' Korea Talk. Dr. and Mrs. Hall, for many years residents of Korea, will be in our city on Wednesday.

HE SAVED THE GIRL. tJiltAiiO. .March 1. with a large touring car bearing down upon him at full speed, and seeing that es cape for both of thera was impossi ble, Morris Britz last night threw himself in front of the car as he dashed Miss Agnes Sebastian, his companion, out of danger. fritz, who is ly years old, was thrown twenty feet by the motor and when picked up was unconscious, Miss Sebastian escaped with a ' few scratches.' Britz's ankle was fractured and he suffered internal injuries which may prove fatal. The owner of the machine, Joseph O'Neill, was arrest ed but released upon bond. ' HIS IDEAS TOO HIGH FOR CITY OF ASTORIA'S SIZE No you can't keep people from go ing to Portland to trade. Even if you show and sell them better styles at home. It's second nature with some persons to trade away from their home town, especially on wearing apparel, said Mr. Shafer of the Amer ican B. C. & Investment Co., of Portland. "To illustrate, take Ja lofTs, the ladies' store., He had a hobby for high class goods and from all I saw he told his goods at less prices than the same styles and qualities could be bought at Port land. In fact, if Jaloff was in Port land his stock would compare with the best of them for style and char acter of materials. But by offering so high class goods in Astoria, he seems to have created and impression that he wa high-priced that' what caused Jaloff to go bankrupt. Well, the stock will go on sale tomorrow at 9 a. m. and I will endeavor to close out all of it in very short time, or at once envey a better idea. " We don't string a sale along; just cut the life out of prices and force things alt the time. First loss is the best, is our motto, especially in bankrupt stock when they fall into our hands for closing out Yes, we will wind up the affairs on the Jaloff sale in very short order.
