Law Against Fraternities The law enacted by the recent legis lature against fraternities in all pub ic schools of the State, except in the State Agricultural College and the State University, will go into effect on May 22. It prohibits all secret societies in the schools, and it is made the duty of the school boards to ex amine into the schools from time to time to see that the law is enforced. The boards are authorized to suspend or expel from school all papils who are fo.nnd to be members of such so cieties. The law of course docs not apply to the ordinary literary or de bating societies, but only to the secret fraternities. As far as is generally known, there are no secret societies n the Astoria schools. Had Brother Here The Oregonian yesterday said: "In regard to the strange disappearance of Mrs. J, M. Hassing of. San Fran cisco, Dan Moore, proprietor' of the Hotel Moore at Seaside, said lasi night; "Mrs. Hassing was employed by me at the Hotel Moore for nearly two years as housekeeper She left the hotel last July and was .tarried in September. She has one brother liv ing in Astoria and one in Milwankie. I think the fact of her being at the hotel will be Rn assistance to people in their efforts to locale the missSng woman. There has been .1 report re ceived from Mr. Hassing that sho may possibly have started on her way o Portland. Owing to her recent llness, it is thought she may have been stricken with some sort of fever which deranged her mind for the time being, causing her to start back to her former home." - Tha Man Who Eat.

The reputation of the Palace is founded mmoveably upon the certainty and amplitude of the service it renders to every purse, and appetite, big and little. Open day and night.

EVERYTHING ELSE A MAN WEARS -FROM HEAD TO FOOT. S. Danziger & Co Astoria's Greatest Clothier 490-500 Commercial Street I Proving a Nuisance The word nuisance is' proving a alight nuisance among those who are framing an ordinance to cover the Sunday closing of saloons. The city charter requires that if a saloon man is found guilty of maintaining a nuis ance his license shall be revoked; and it is for that reason that the efforts are put forth to include the word in the new ordinance that is to be pre sented. Councilman Curtis' new ordi nance provides that if a saloon man is convicted the second time of main taining such a nuisance his license shall be revoked but only on second conviction. This is apparently open to the objection that the place is to be allowed to remain licensed between the interim intervening between the first and second convictions, while a fundamental rule of law is that neith er the king or the commonwealth can license a nuisance. In his veto mes sage in relation to the first Curtis or dinance Mayor Smith expressed his doubts that the council is empowered to declare the selling of liquor , on Sunday a nuisance, the general rule of law being that it is not possible to declare that to be a nuisance which is not inherently so, at a given time or place. The city attorney, Mr. Aber crombie, is also preparing an ordi nance to cover the ground, at the re quest of some of the councilmen, and as Mr. Abercrombie is said to be satisfied that the council has the right to declare the selling of Sunday liquors a nuisance his measure will provide that upon the first conviction the license shall be revoked- In the draft of the city attorney' ordinance there seem' several excellent provis ions, one being that all blinds and curtains shall be drawn on Sundays. Other attorneys think it is not at all necessary to try to bring in the word nuisance at all to effect the end de sired. Take New Office Attorney C. J- Curti has taken new offices in the Page block. He ha a suite of three rooms there and is very comfortably situated. Mr. Curtis says he intends to devote himself exclu sively to the practice of the law in the future. W. C. T. U. Today The W. C T. U. will meet at their rooms at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon, and every member is requested to be present. Business of importance is to be transacted. Select Delegates- Court Astoria, F. of A-, selected A. McLean and P- H. Hadden, as dele gates to attend the session " of the grand court which meets at Hood River on May 18th. Searching After Body v Hugh Brady, of Portland, a pro fessional diver, came down to Astoria yesterday to make a search of Young's River for the body of the young woman which was supposedly seen floating there Sunday. He was in the employ of C. H. West of Port land, the uncle of the young woman who disappeared from Portland in January, and Mr. West thinks there is a possibility that his niece may have drowned herself and that it was her body seen here. Brady made a search of the river and bay yester day, but could find no trace of the body. He did find a feather pillow, but whether it had any connection with the body is of course only a matter of conjecture- Brady will not personally continue the search though it is probable that a man will keep it up today anyway. It had been stated by mistake that the missing woman was a sister of Mr. West; she was a niece. REALTY TRANSFERS Thomas R Davies and wife to Axel Anderson, lot 5, block 109, Olney's; $.100.
