cil was held at the council chamber last
night. There were present. Council-
men Welch (in the chair), and Berg
man, O'Hara, Lewis, McGregor, Lang'
worthy and Webber.
- Petitions for liquor license from Al
exander Gilbert, G. Capello & Co., were
granted. "
t From twelve residents of the swamp
lands near Jack creek asking for a
plank walk.
.Referred to the Btreet committee.
From all the barbers In Astoria with
the exception of two, asking the coua
ell to pass an ordinance compelling the
closing the barber's shops on Sundays.
Councilman Lewis ' moved that this
petition be laid on the table. Cleanli
ness was next to Godliness, and legisla
tion of this character was opposed to
the state laws. If a stranger came to
town on a Sunday morning he had a
right to be able. to get shaved before
going to church
Councilman O'Hara was opposed to
class legislation of this character. If
all trades were Included It would be
a different matter. He believed In all
men having one day's rest, and If peo
ple went and got shaved on Satur
day nights, instead of playing poker,
they would have no cause to grumble.
Councilman Bergman said that this
was a free country, and that If a bar
ber wanted to close up his shop on
Sunday Ik was his privilege to do so,
If a man wanted to keep his store open
he also had a right to do as he pleased.
The petition was laid on the table.

fully report, that in our opinion chap
ter 10 of the charter, gives the chief
the same power In relation to the col
lection of taxes that is given by law
to the sheriff, and that it is the duty
of the chief to make such collections
without expense to the city. We there
fore return the bills without our ap
proval, and recommend that the matter
be referred to the city attorney ror a
written opinion.

very nearly co-incident with the south
boundary of Bay avenue, and that the
survey for the final location of the As
toria and Eastern railway passes over

sideration in the matter of the estab
lishment of the grade is for your hon
orable body to determine.

thought that he wandered away and
became lost In the woods. His family
does not suspect foul play or suicide.

to be in possession of his mental fac
ulties. Previous to his disappearance
he complained of the noise of the can
non which was being discharged near
his house, and which seemed to trouble
him considerably. His family sur
mised that he left home to escape the

matter until late that night when he,
failed to return. McDonald Is DO years

Captain Kane Olney was seriously
Injured on board the steamer No Won
der in this city about three years ago
by a broken chain flying back and
hitting him in the forehead and mak
ing a dent In his skull. He has suf
fered greatly from the effects of the
pressure of the skull Upon the brain,
and has been subject to fits, and his
mind has been at times affected on ao
count of the Injury to his skull. It
was evident that unless something was
done to relieve him he would soon sue
cumb, and a short time ago he went up
to Good Samaritan hospital, In Port
land to have an operation performed.
A piece of the skull, about as large as
a dollar was cut out, and this com
pletely relieved Captain Olney. A sil
ver plate has been placed over the hole
In the Bkull and the flesh stitched over
It, so that the silver plate la entirely
concealed and the forehead Is very
slightly disfigured by the operation.
Captain Olney may truly be said to
have had his "mind" relieved of a
great load.
