The fish warden states that because of the changes in the laws, etc, it ould be impossible to secure con- ictmns. Cases against the following were therefore dismissed: August An- lerion. Albert Skog, Lucius Bogano- iih, Matt ilcrkhjud, Charles Wauke- la. AU-x Manila, Frank W. Joki. Ar- rt Nelsnn, Cus I'otrich. John Miki, Christ Slovlin, John Hass, Rernhard Megan, John Jailette, Peter Johnson, IK-nry McGowan, Christ Olson, Julius Jensen, Charles Davis, C. Sutherland. Serva Hilton. It is probable that the above lit contains all of the names of the various defendants, but even if does not, all the cases against all of the men arrested are dismissed.

No complications seem to have arisen. There is of course the chance that when Peterson s;ets up it will be found that he is not ibe same man that he was before he was stricken down with the ax, for it hardly ap pears likely that a man can have head split open with an ax, and then have the doctor shove gobs of th brain back Into place with his fing ers and come out of the experience as good as ever. Nevertheless thus fa he seems bright and in good shape. Parents At School At the Adair school yesterday afternoon quite a number of parents of the children visited the classe and later listened to a discussion of the tmcstion, "After the eighth grade wnatr iome 01 tne parents seem to think that their children have all of the schooling that is required when they have gone through the eighth grade, and an effort is being made to educate the parents and the boys and girls into the necessity of entering into and completing the High School course. Professor Bradley and Su perintendent Clark were both present at the meeting. It is probable that other meetings of a similar nature will be held in the various schools, for there seems to be a need of inv pressing upon some of the parents the desirability of keeping their boys and girls in school as long as pos sible. Might Have Been Fatal What may have been a fatal acci dent but which, happily was not, oc curred on the steamer Wenona yes terday morning as she was, making her customary run up Gray's River. She was leaving the dock at Ander son's landing, and the fireman, Charlie Frorwork was casting of! the stem line, and in the doing of it, was out on the the narrow guard of the boat. As she pulled ahead, he was caught between one of the heavy hanging fenders of the boat and one of the outstanding piling of the dock and was squeezed through a space of less than six inches in width. The crush was very severe, and he was rendered unconscious from it for some time, but rallied and by th time the steamer returned to this city, he was apparently not much the worse for the grinding he got De spite the counsel of his shipmates he refused to consult a physician. Prospects Are Bright It is stated with definitcness that permits of no equivocation, that even if the negotiations now being made by F. L- Evans to finance the street railway project should fall through, the local men who have fos tered the project stand prepared to immediately make a deal with an other company, which, it is stated, stands ready and willing to finance the road. That, if true, means that the road is to be built and built at once. Among the men back of the matter some have stated that if the Evans deal falls through, they have high hopes of making the deal with another concern; while several others of the gentlemen back of the project make the plain statement that if the the Evans negotiations fall through! the money stands "ready and wait ing" from another source, and the readers of the Astorian can take their choice between these two statements, taking note that each promises well, Meantime it looks as if Mr. Evans may carry through his negotiations in the east; at least his telegram denotes that all is going well. He will be given 30 days from March 18 to com plete his deal, and after April 18 other sources will be turned to if he has not secured the money. Such seems to be the present status of the matter, and upon the whole it "seems to promise very well. PERSONAL MENTION city is Call For County Warrants- County Treasurer Sherman today issues a call for all warrants on the general fund drawn and endorsed prior to June 1. 1098. This caB cov ers a period of six months, and is for $60,000, a pretty big sum. This, with the call of March 8 for $25,000, and also the sum of $15,000 to be ap plied for the first half of the state tax makes a total of approximately $100,000 which will have to be met from the general fund from the taxes just received. Mr. Sherman has called the warrants right up to the limit, depending upon receipts and incom ing taxes to pay the state the last half uc October' 1, being another $15,000, The present call brings the warrants up to within ten months. All out- tanding court house warrants are paid, with sufficient money on hand to make contemplated improvements the basement, yard and streets. Special Showing Of Millinery.

Come and view the remains, Saturday 20th. 1111 To Build Annex It is announced that there is now excellent promise that an annex will be built to the Athletic Club. The lot to the ct of the building is owned by Judge Bowlby, and some of the club directors state that the Allen's have agreed to build there, providing 50 more are secured for the club memberships. The membership is now about 475, and 50 more would put it at 525. The club quarters are quite too small in every department, anj if the annex is built it will prove of the greatest benefit. More office room is required, and room for hand ball courts and for other games. Tony Htiss has been employed to assist in the gymnasium and he will take charge of the floor, with the seniors, on three nights each week while Mr, Van Riper will devote his tim to the boys and the ladies. The work is too much for one man. It is ex pected that Mr. Huss will also start up a class in wrestling and it is be lieved that this would prove very in teresting. He is an all-round athlete, and has had a thorough training for the work. Work To Begin Superintendent John McGuire, of the A. & C. and S. P. & S. Railways, arrived in the city at noon yesterday, and after paying his delinquencies in pew rent for a year past, he went on to the West Side, where he looked over the ground which has been broken for the new spur to the log ging camp of the Sorenson Com pan; then lie went back to Warrenton and made arrangements for putting the steam shovel at work bolstering up the ravages of the high' tides around the Warrenton draw, and came back to this city in time to leave the necessary orders for the disposi tion of the 16 cars of new 75-pound steel rails just in from Portland, for relaying on the main line from Car- nahan, west- When these rails are laid the entire A. & C will be equip ped with this weight of rail. Mr. McGuire is a very busy man these days, for in addition to his duties as superintendent, he is now "caterer-in- general" to the dining service of the "North Bank" system, but he bears up well under the stress. He goes back to the metropolis on the 8:20 this morning'. Mrs. A, Swanscn of tfii visiting friends in Poaisland. F. A. Robinson, wlk and duaghter, arrived in this city yesterday, from Lincoln, Kansas, and are guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. F, Hardesty. Mr. Robinson formerly dwelt in this city and has numerous friends here who will be glad to greet him again. ' J. C. Bailey of Cathlamet, editor of the Cathlamet Sun, was a business visitor in this city yesterday. He says that Cathlamet is in an abnor mally peaceful state just at present. ind getting along- finely. J. W. Casey, he of the railroad "bat", was in the city yesterday at tending to the interests of the "Mil waukee" system. E. P. Noonan broke away from his Bond street desk long enough yester day to make a flying trip to the Brcmner logging camp on a business expedition. President Fletcher Homan of Wil lamette University is due to arrive in this city tonight, for an over Sunday visit at the home of Mr. and Mrs. P. LT. Brix. He will occupy the pulpit ft the First M. E. church tomorrow morning and evening, and will speak to the young people of the Astoria High School on Monday morning. He is one of the notable divines of the country and as great a, lecturer as he is a preacher. Miss Margaret Kelly, the young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Kelly, of this city, is now at St. Vin cent's hospital in Portland, where she will undergo a minor operation. Her friends hope soon to see her back in Astoria. More Money ATaHable Information reached the office of Major J. F. Mclndoe of Portland, from the department at Washington yesterday morning that in the sun dry civil bill are included two more appropriations for the Columbia river jetty and the Celilo Canal, amounting to $20,000 and $164,000, respectively This will make the entire appropria tion available for the mouth of the Columbia $950,000. and for .the canal project $664,000. Work of completing the jetty will be started about April and will be continued until the stormy weather period in the Fall, The Columbia Contract Company will furnish the rock necessary to go into the jetty. Its plant is being put in shape for this work. The old hulk of the Minnie E. Kelton was brought up to Portland from the drydock by the tug Samson Thursday. She was tied up at the foot of East Oak street, Portland, where the craft will be con certed into a rock barge, It is the in te- tion of the company to have her ready for active .service soon after the first of the month. Foreman Disappears.. Hong Yick & Company, the Chinese contracting firm, of this city, makes known that one U. Hirrayama, Japanese, heretofore contracted to serve as foreman of the Japanese employes of the Columbia River Packers' Association at Nushagak, this season, has decamped from this city, nad his whereabouts are un known. They aver that he left on or about February 14th last, and took ith him the sum of $850, advanced to him by the contracting firm on the 6th of January: and that unless he returns before Monday next, they ill proceed to secure another fore man in his place and stead. Hong Yick Company is located at 340 Bond street, in this city. A Long-Lived Key Last evening there was laid on the editorial desk in this office, as a curio among old and rare things about As toria, a key, nearly five inches long, made of good old iron and well kept, which was made at Sken, Norway, in 1740. Its '169 years of existence have left no very marked impressions upon it even at the points of wear, and it was used for 100 consecutive years, in a foot-square lock, on a family trunk. or locker, which is eight feet long, four feet wide and six feet deep; one of those old iron-bound iron-lined receptacles, which is still in use. in the old country. Children of the seventh generation of the family in which this old key originated, are playing with it today; even the old trunk being used as a clothes closet. It belongs to M. W. Petersen of the Astorian print ery force. k ip . 'I . 4w ' Iji EVEN ARTISTS KICK CHICAGO. March 19.-Chicago artists and connoisseurs have raised their voices to protest against the clause in the tariff bill exempting from duty only such works of art as are 20 years old, or older. The pro vision is branded as an imposition to protect certain contemporary Ameri can artists who fear their present popularity would suffer if they were forced to compete with the best work of the artist from over seas. Among those who joined in insisting that all works of art should enter the United States duty free and in branding the present provision a joke were W- R. French, director of the Art Institute; Bryan Lathrop, the Chicago repre sentative of the American Free Art League, and Frederick C.
