JOSEF MUELLER Tday eyenl ig several of the best German cltliens of Astoria, secured the services of the famous Vienna comedian, Mr. Josef Mueller, who, in 'Ms special line, has few equafls, and called forth roars of laughter In Ms comic selections and the opposite extreme When he render ed some of his patihetlc pieces. In 1892 he took Chicago and Denver by storm,. His next and last ap-pearance here In Astoria will be in about two weeks assisted by ontty flint -class ar tists. It la said upon good authority Uiat (he dissatisfaction that existed a day or two ago over the line as laid out by Engineer Jamdeoon along the O. R. and N. Dock, ihas been settled by Instruc tions from Mr. Hammond for the en gineer to lny out the Un at that point to conform, as near as practicable, to the ldoas of the subsidy committee. Thte wtH do away with the necessity of eptflhi a great deal of valuabfc property and doubtless save the com mutes a round sum ot money. Yesterday Messrs. Bowlby, B. Van Dusen and D. II. Weloh started out -miMiiiiiiiii li'na.niiiin oUolung daadi to..t& right of ny within the city limits. They started at John Day'a and worked west. By 9 o'clock they had secured twelve clear deeds, and distributed as many more. So far they have met with no opposi tlon, and if the property owners will step to the front today and give the committee a llBtle encouragement tlfey say they can finish through the entire city by Wednesday night. Of course there are some deeds that cannot be secured at once, as the parties are out of the city. Mr. C. J. Trenohard, agent for the Wells-Fargo and Pacific Express com parties, states that during the past two weeks tttie business of his office has shown a decldede increase. On the morning of the lllth the Pacific Can Company received a neat little box through tlhe express office. It welched 737 pounds, and was shipped fram New York ait noon, on the 5th Jnat. Another 'box of similar weight for the can company was received on the fol lowing day, and made the same quick time from New York. Such packages do not usually And their way through tlhe exipress office, though, as the rate of 15 1-2 cents per pound from the Atlantic coast cities make it more con venient to ship by freight. The in crease In business of the express office, however, snows an Indication of the coming bott-r times. Last evening quite a large and select audience collected at Fisher's Half, the occasion being an enterttalnnunt un- bcoaaion being an entertainment un The main feature of the evening wis a preseinitatlon, In pantomime, of a "Japanese Wedding." All the cliarac- ters were dressed In quaint and fan tastic Japanese costumes, and the Whole affair was very realistic and entertaining, the young ladies and gen tlemen going through their different parts In a graceful manner. Mrs. R. M. Stewart, wlo orl.jinated the idea, de serves much credit for the suo:ess ot the affair. The wlmle was precriid by a short murjlcal program. Miss Ber tha Pannon, Mrs. Danzlger, Mrs. Ross end Mrs. Kinney rtndored some g.od vocal selections, and Miss Pini Thomp son, of Portland, entertained the audi ence with a pleasing recitation. Pro fcfeors Thlelhcrn and Fredrlcksnn ac companied wl'tih violin and 'cello, with Misses Fannon and Conn at the piano. The committee in charge of the re newal 4f deeds report that they have secured, out of a total of 2C9, all but 42. Ofte4!aed many pripe ty swn ers are out of the city, though most of them who are not are expected to report In a day or two. But two men out of tlhe whole 239 have made tlr 'ommlttee any great trouu.c. one layt the Jjlame on his better-half, and the other wants to cut his donation down It is believed that both gentlememt will yet see the error of their ways, an.l oome to the front 11 e the patriotic men they should be, and are expected to be Just at this critical time. It i. for ahiat very reason that the Astorio-n i-e.ralns from memidonilng their named. It will be the duty of the AstorUn, .lowever, If In a reasonable time the deeds are sot In, to come out and h..l up for public criticism those men wno :ire standing as stutrVilo- .v,-.'-.. in the way of Astoria's prosperity and ad van emenit. The committee has agree to turn over to Mr. Hammond the en tire subsidy as subscribed, and the i..an or men who attempt to prevent It, Is an enemy, not only to himseil, bull 'to every good citizen of Astoria. CLATSOP COUNTY OFFICIALS. A Fling at Sheriff Hare Restuted by That Gentleman. The following squib appeared in Sat ui diy's Issue of tlhe Albany Ds.no :rnt "Clatsop county ofllclals ontlnui their unDoilr system of do-inf business An Albany mian Whio gvt a letter in th hands of the sheriff on the 27th o. "laroih was charged costs for delin quent taxes that came so on April 1st, beoause the sheriff did not attend to i until after then. It takes no sanse t . know that the A'l'bany man was entl tied to the benefit of the 27ith. The Dnoirat would like to hear of a cas of a Clatsop county official doing th square thing." Reg'ardJng the above, Sheriff Hare explained to an Astorlan reporter tha. on the morn'.ng of the 28Uh of March he received a 'letter from one n. T. Merrill, trustee for the owners of Ocean Pairk addition to Astoria, and Is with out doubt the letter referred to. 'He wanted a statement of taxes on prop terty and added that tt would tako sev eral cloys to collect the money for the same. At the time Sheriff and his deputies were very busy and as It would have been Impossible for a let ter to have reached Albany and re turn answer In time to get the money In before April 1st, when the taxes be came delinquent, the letter was not answered unlta the 2d of April. Several days later he remitted the amount of taxes, $29.06, but failed to Include the S per cent costs, amounting to 79 cents The money was returned with instruc tions to forward the full amount. This probably caused the whole kick. County Clerk Dunlhar states that while recorder he had a similar exper ience wlltih Merrill, who sent a deed to record, and when a bill for $1.40 was sent him, he forwarded 75 cents In post age stamps, stating that was all the job was worth. He paid the full amount, (however, after considerable correspondence. Evidently this man Merrill is a confirmed kicker.

Mr. Wlnsate, as clilajlrman of the rls'hft of way commMtee for the rail road line outelde of the city, together with hls assistants, are to "be congrat ulated for the good work they have done thus far. 'The same can be truth fully said of the committee appointed to look after the rignt of way within the city. Mr. J. W. Welrti, chairman of the tatter committee, Is unable through llllness to attend to the duties asslgr.td hl;n, but ne has able assist' ants wlho will not lap in their work. The people along the route have caught up with the "spirit that moves and to a groat extent have donated the right of way. But there are some who are Obstinate, and are blind to the re suit of having a railroad from Asto. ria to GoWe, simply because they will not see. Every right of way owner In Clatsap county h'as oaugiht on to the move' mertt, so to speak, and placed his shoul der to the Wheel except one man whb ouglht to know better, and he will prob ably awaken in a few days. There is another, too, Who in his conceit, thinks he can make lhe r pie pay for an inv aginary flsChdng right, which, if it Is a right at all, is a right to destroy small salmon. A suit will be started this week against Mr. and Mrs. Qulnn to condemn the right of way through their land. The people of Clatsop county are in earnest, and they will carry this right of way movement through to suc cess. Mr. Hammond will be here to morrow morning and everything should be clear for him upon his arrival, so that work can be started at once. Are not some of the AStorlan's readers careless about renewing their deeds to the sublsdy? If they are, why not place the new deeds In the hand 3 of the committee this day and be done with It? Do you want Mr. Hammond to re turn to Astoria and ask you why you are not ready? The wide-awake citizens of Astoria now you do you want such business nen as Mr. Hammond to know you S3 your fellow-townsmen do? Do you imagine that because the committee has not followed your foot steps day by day, that they have for gotten you, nor need you imaTlne thai If you fall to do your duty now wil' She good people of Astoria forget you In the future. They have a faculty for remembering Such tilings. Do your duty In the matter of re newlng your deeds, and giving your right of way ,aind not allow Mr. Ham nond to come here tomorrow morn ing and find you In the same old rut of .proorasttnatlon. He Is depending upon your prompt afltlon to help him, and the people of this city are de ending upon Mr. Hammond. You we lt to your city to be prompt in Mis miaitter. Now, Gentlemen, come forward and do whlat you have always oladmed you would do. Do not delay the bulldJm of Astoria's railroad by selfish motives. Mr. Hammond claims, and undoubted ly Is able to carry out his assertion that 'he Is ready to start and build a railroad from 'this city to Goble. He wants to commence work at once, ami It will be your fault If he does not t so. He must have a clear right of way to Gob!e before he starts, and you migiht as well take that fact Into con sideration when thinking about It. Awake, gentlemen. The Astoria has stood by your interests in thr osit, and now calls upon you to pu our shoulder to ithe wheel and not nly help yourselves, but your more leedy neighbor. AFTENOON DISPATCHES.
