OF , . , PATTERN HATS AT THE BEE HIVE Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday --- OCEAN, BAR, BAY, A bit of yarn has just developed here that shows how narrowly some men escape doing a deadly thing, and how equally narrowly others escape the deadly thing the other missed: Last Thursday night, when the fine iteamship Breakwater was approach ing the O. R. & N. piers here, to berth, one of her officers, in default, of any other carrying-load on his lead 4ine (the weight wherewith it s thrown from the ship to the dock) fastened the six-pound lead on the end of the line and flung that ashore The heavy article struck the O. R. & N. night watchman, Mr. Sinnott, a glancing blow on the head and knock ed him fiat on the dock, and might have killed him. had it been more di rect in its impact He is too valuable man for such treatment as this, and every friend he has got will be glad to know that nothing more serious ensued from the stupid mischance. Mr. Sinnott is away on leave for a few days but not on account of any consequences resulting from the blow alluded to. He is simply off for a brief rest, and spending his time in the metropolis. The -pleasant news reached this city yesterday of the arrival, at Sec ramento, Cal., of the launch Reqna, which left the Columbia some time ago. for the Bay City.

The schooner Virginia will finish loading -lumber at the Columbia Mills, at Knappton, this afternoon and leave out for San Francisco on the first tow line that offers. The Human Appetite. Of all the whimsical shifting, unre liable, treacherous, exacting things !n the world, the human appetite for the right thing to eat is, perhaps, the most unreasonable and imperious There are those who humor it; oth ers who defy it; and all men are more or less inclined to treat it with con sideration. To find a place where these varying attitudes may be fos tered, at the least cost in each case, and yet keep the appetite in proper and peaceful subjection, is always desirable information. One place that is conceded as perfectly adapted to this, is the Palace Restaurant, just opposite the Page building, on Com mercial street, in this city. Try 't once, and patronize it always; that is the rule of the Palace. Suits and Millinery for less- Where? At Jaloffs.

COM'L STREET The charge brought in the council by Councilman Karinen against Coun cilman Pracl-to the effect that his seat should be deemed vacant because of the alleged fact that he is inter ested in selling supplies to the city has naturally attracted attention about the city .though as a rule the matter is not taken very seriously. Probably the matter came as a great !er surprise to Mr. Prael than to any one else. What the facts are back of the charge have not yet been brought ;to light. If by chance it should be i ascertained that Mr. Trael is disquali ified from being a member of the council by reason of some of his business connections it would prob ably be considered a great loss to the city, for he has proven himself an able and conscientious member of the municipal body. But there is another tide to the matter. First of all it is thought t be very improbable that he is disqual ified, though doubtless the matter will be pushed by the little political cabal that has fostered it. If Prael could be gotten out of the council by any hocus pocus, and since Belland i' going up to Alaska soon, that would leave two of the men who fight m the citizens rights and the city i good out of the way, with the possi bility that some man might be ap- pointed who would be friendly to the',"11"" ' cou"c" other M. This cart of the storvlwith ,he ' 10 Prtvt,lt h,m fro n could be told in great detail if it were worth while. But at the worst the council would have to approve any appointment made so that it is likely that some safe and good man would get the 'place. Mr. Prael is a stockholder in the Clatsop Mills, and is also said to be interested in the Prael-Eigner Com pany. As far as can be ascertained the question arises from the mills But at the outset the facts are that the Clatsop Mills have not sold any thing to the city. The three mills here sell through their clearing house, the Astoria Box Company. This is a NEW TO-DAY Kelley, The Wood Man. Wm.

April f-Men of prominence, including Alfred G, Van derbilt, August Belmont, and otlrm, are identified with the Liberal Sunday League, the governors of which held a meeting here yesterday. The league was only recently incorporated with a view of bringing about a more lib eral interpretation of the Sunday law:, and having Sunday declared a legal holiday In the state. At the meeting of the governors the following plat form was adopted: "The members of the league, real izing that the Slue laws, founded on the English common laws, have long ceased to be effective and recognising that the men and women of the 20th century have outgrown the passive submission to dictation which leeks to make all follow the path laid down for them by tealots, have organized as a tribune before which the people may lay their ideas, express their preferences and record their judg ment.'' combination of the three mills. It looks like a pretty strained propos! tion to say that' any mere stockholder of one of the three concerns that go to make up the City Box Company it responsible in any material degree fr sales made by the latter concern. The reason of the rule which prohibits using his influence as a councilman in securing any advantageous contracts with the city. But, to show how e traordinaily far-fetched the charge 's. in this instance, no bids are a iked for what the box company sells and i: has only one price to all. If any one doubts that, let him try it. If the city didn't want to buy from the box company it would have to pay more in Portland or Seattle, as the com pany controls the lumber output here. In the courts the uusal ' practice has been to strictly uphold the laws forbidding a member of a council from securing any advantage from contracts or supplies- In some in stances stockholders of concerns who were also councilmcn were held with in the rule, and in other cases their were held not within the rule. When the rule was made to apply it w.s first necessarily shown that the coun cilman actually sought, or actually did secure, an advantage for his cor poration. Probably Mr. Prael would be tin first to want to get out ,if he even thought the situation was in the slightest degree equivocal. Perhaps the next charge will be broueht against Alsie Fox- He is a stockholder in the Astoria Iron Works, where the city has had work done. Also the rule would apply in the same way to Martin Foard, as a police commissioner, and to other officials, also, perhaps. There is thought to be about one chance in 5000 that Mr. Prael will be found dis qualified. "WIDE OPEN- ST. LOUIS, Mo.. April 6 niany years has an election Not m in St Louis arotised keener interest among all classes than has the municipal contest that is being fought out at the polls today. On the. surface of things the fight revolves around the longstanding project for the buihlinjr of a free bridge across the Mississippi River to East St. Louis, for which bonds have been voted. The present mayor, Rolla Wells, a Democrat, has been attacked as opposed to the pro ject. A still more important issue of the contest, though it is an issue that has not been openly declared, is the alleg ed plan of the saloon interests to elect a mayor who will favor a wide- open town, under home rule, with the police under municipal instead of State control, as promised by Gover nor Ifadley.
