yesterday afternoon, and was the re
cipient of distinct social favor at the
hands of the ladies of that post last
evening, at a farewell expression of
their esteem and interest.
from here SO cent for the round trip,
and the wisdom of putting It in ha
already been demonstrated. The water
of the tank has been changed every
few day and it i being now planned
to try to change the water every day
during the iiiinmer month. The
tank contain 30,0)0 gallons, and if
the water were to be changed every
day It would not be possible to heat
it, as it naturally take a Jong time
to heat that great quantity of water.
But in summer only a very little heat
ing will be required and it i hoped
that it may be found possible to have
fresh water each day. The floor of
the dancing hall upstairs ha been
covered with canvas, which will be
removed whenever there is a dance.
The soldier are already quartered in
the building-

Tetimony All In
The enure time of the circuit court

hearing of the case of John llahn v.
the Astoria National Bank, and the
last witness went on the stand for
the defense last evening. For the
plaintiff, in addition to Mr. Hahn,
Sidney Campbell, F. W. Preston and
C, F. Lester, were on the stand, and
for the defense the witnesses were
George H, George, president of the
Astoria National; J. E- Higgin.
cashier, and A. Schcrncckau, one of
the directors, and C G. Fulton, who
wa the attorney for the bank at the
time the question in litigation arose.
Mr. Higgin had some of the bank'
books in court yesterday, but he did
not have a complete account with
him of the transactions with the
depredator glided stealthily ! Warrenton Lumber Company, and
he was directed to bring all the fig
ures and transactions in court today
Proiecutor Olaon Hert
Protecting Attorney Frank Olson
Wahkiakum county, Washington,
came down from Cathlamet yesterday
vening on the steamer Lurline, and
ent several hour in Astoria. Mr.
Olsen tayt that no man ever had a
iref trial than wa given Dr. Pea
cock, in Cathlamet, last week, and
that he doubt if the doctor' plea for
change of venue and a new trial
will be granted by Judge Rice, when
1 presented- on the nth instant.
The penalty for the offense with
hich Dr. Peacock i convicted, in
Washington, it penal servitude for
from one to 20 year. He expect, of
course, that tne doctor win appeal
from any sentence that may eventu
ate. Mr. Olsen will return to his
home on the R. Milcr, thi morning.
W Pleant Djr-
The rain that fell in heavy showers
early yesterday morning gave way
before noon to softer skies, and the
afternoon wa really pleasant. The
sun shone brightly nearly all after
noon, and after the long spell of
gloomy weather the change came as
a welcome relief. Many people agree
in saying that the past winter has
been one of the worst known in many
years. And while the lun shone
brightly here there was genuine re
gret that the day wa so bad in
Washington, during the inauguration
of President Taft. From now on there
hould be a considerable proportion
of pleasant weather.
Man In a Black Mask
While going to his home at about
1 o'clock Tuesday morning a young
man who i employed down town
say he saw a man in the front yard
of the home of Gits Schoenhaechler,
at 211 Commercial street. The pre
sumed
around the corner of the house and
for a moment stood in plain view,
when the young man observed that
he work a mak, apparently of black
or dark material. The young man
hastened on toward his home and
did not see what became of the man
in the black mask, Mr. Schoenhaech
ler, or hi bulldog, knew nothing of
the mysterious man in the mask who
is reported as having been seen out
side, Wat Ladle' Night
It wa ladies' night at the Athletic
Club last night and the gymnasium
was well filled. The ladies ecm to
keep up their interest in the gymnas
tics, and instead of lagging it seem
to grow. The quarters of the ladies
in the basement of the building have
been finely fitted out and they are
very comfortable there. Dressing
rooms have also been established.
The swimming tank continues to be a
great attraction for all that go there.

What Dynamlta Did
The right fore-arm of Jack Beats,
who collect metal junk and sells it
for a living, wa broken on Wednes
day evening last, by the explosion of
stick of dynamite up m the Lewi
& Clark country, which he was using
to dislodge and break up an old iron
rum. The dynamite went off over
100 yards from where Seal had taken
refuge, but a piece of it found him
and struck the arm with fearful force,
breaking both bone, He came to
this city at once and the injured mem
ber wa set by Dr. Filkmgton. Beat
wa operating in that section in his
boat and had a partner with him, and
had it not been for this assistance he
must have suffered great torture in
the laborious task of getting back to
the city for attention.
Up River Fishing
Notice has been issued that the
Willamette and Clackama River are
closed to fishermen between April IS
and May 1. This action has been
taken by the State Board of Fish
Commissioner and i intended for
the further protection of salmon.
The action of the board will remedy
slight oversight in the bill passed
by the Legislature regulating fishing
on the Columbia. At a meeting of
the Fish Commissioner, held in Sa
lem Tuesday, a number of letters
from fishermen, canner and packers
ere read, calling the attention of
the board to the fact that, although
the Legislature had enacted law pro
viding closed seasons during which
time no fishing would be permitted
on the Columbia River, they had failed-
to make similar provision for the
Willamette and Clackamas Rivers,
nd sugesting that the board use its
powers under the law, and close
these streams so that the tame closed
seasons would prevail on all the
river.
Game Tomorrow Night ,
The bet game of basketball of the
season thus far is promised in the
contest tomorrow night at the Atn
letic Club between Vancouver Ath
letic Club and the team of the local
club. The Vancouver team is known
to be a most excellent one, right in
the front rank, and the local boy
think they have a chance to win,
though it must be admitted that this
estimate of them is made on form
rather than on record. For the first
time the circus seats will be in use
in the gymnasium, so that there will
be ample seating room for all. The
circus seats permit a seating capacity
of upwards of 500, and every specta
tor will have an uninterrupted view
of the game. There will be an ad
mission charged.
Case of Diphtheria-
Four or five cases of diphtheria
have been reported to the city health
officer, Dr. Reames, from Unio'htown
and there seems to be promise of
slicht epidemic of the sickness there
The teachers of the Taylor school
were requested to send all of the chil
dren in school who complained of
sickness to the health officer for ex
amination, and of a number that were
sent yesterday all were found suffer-
inn with bad colds or swollen tonsils,
but none with diphtheria. It is hoped
with proper care to keep the sick
ness from spreading, though the nnm
ber of cases already reported would
indicate that perhaps many of the
pupils have been exposed. Parents
are advised to watch their children
very closely, and unless the present
cases develop to be of a serious na
ture it is thought that no stringent
measures will have to be taken fft
handling the slight epidemic,

Want Name Changed-
For 30 years Albert Hough has
been known by that name among all
his friends and acquaintances m As
toria, and now he wants it formally
changed to Charles Peterson, which
is his real name, apparently. In the
county court yesterday a petition was
filed by Hough, reciting the facts and
asking that the name be changed,
According to the petition Wough
joined the navy in 1864, just before
the close of the war, under his own
name of Peterson, but that shortly
after he "exchanged" his name with
a comrade of his, and thu taking his
comrade' name of Hough; and that
he was discharged from the navy
under the name of Hough. Recently
he has wished to secure a pension but
the exchange of names has arisen to
prevent this being done and the gov
ernment has refused to grant the
pension until the matter of the names
it straightened out, which Mr. Hough
Peterson, now proposes to do. Why
he "swapped" names with the other
fellow is not told in the petition. The
county court set March 9 for a hear
ing of the matter. There is a well
known Eastern author by the name
of Hough and he has several times
expressed a desire to have his name
changed for the reason that people
didn't know whether to pronounce it
Huff, How or Who, but Mr. Peterson
Houch has apparently a more valid
reason.
