IX THE POLICE COCRT.
There were all klnda of alnner tiefore
Judge Nclaon yenterday afterniMn.
Since the cloe of the flxhinit jeaaon
the police court hu done a good bua
lneaa. The prtKoners' dock wa well
filled by the wayfarer. Among them
were ome pretty tough charncU'ra, one
In particular causing the police con
Ideruble trouble.
The rti'M name culled was that cf
John Mackle Wednesday afternoon
Mnckle got a akate on, and persisted
in hanging around the city Jail. He
waa told to go away several times,
but persisted In Miiylng there, so they
ran him In. He was taxed $.
When aoked If the charge of drunk
agnlnst hi in was true. John Erickkaon
mild It was. so he was fined S3.
Then Oust Jlenson was called, charg
ed with fighting, but he fulled to ap
pear and hla ball of (10 waa declared
forfeited. Henson, t appears, plays
a plnno In a Howery resort, and Yed
nesday evening Axel Nelson strolled
Into the saloon. Axei plays the accor
dion, and he thinks he plays It nicely.
Ylenann was playing with another man.
when Axel nuked him to play an ac
companiment for the accordion, which
he refused to do, whereupon Axel went
to the bar and took a drink. In aome
manner a quarrel followed, w hich result
ed in both men being nrrested for
fighting. Axel answered "not guilty"
to the charge agnlnst him, snylng he
would not fight for the world. The
case ngainst him was dismissed, as the
testimony waa all In his favor.
Harry Manner, commonly known as
Hoodlum Harry," wns then told to
answer to answer to a charge of hav
ing been drunk. He said the allegation
In the main was correct, whereupon
his honor snld something about five
dollars. There were three charges
against Harry, the second one being
for using abusive language. Captain
Hallock had arrested the man, and,
hearing that he had been released
from the county Jail ten days before
his term of several months had expir
ed, took him to the Hotel d'Hare. Har
ry didn't want to go, but was finally
persuaded to. When they arrived be
fore the prison the Jailer could not be
found It waa early In the morning
and the captain started toward the city
Jail with his man. But Harry was
balky and called the captain all the
hard names he could remember. Fin
ally a cltlien came along and sent an
express wagon to the scene, when Har
ry was thrown Into It and driven to
the city J. ill. lie v, i, tuxed for til
fun.
licit they wi-en't tlirough with Harry
by any im-an. Tlnre waa arVdh
charge very rlou-agulnt blm, that
i f renlstlng an officer. It appear tha
when the captain wa trying to per
made Harry to go l the city Jail be
phyaleally disputed the officer' ability
to take blm there. The result wa
hugging match on Ninth street. Ityirry
got the worst of It. He n fined lltOO,
clil. 11 mean loo day In Jail. Then
there la that other II j, which mean
seven day mora. A no one Is likely
to g'i around with a bucket and ball
him out. Harry will probably eat with
the city for oiri? time to come.
Manuer lo gan hi trouble about :1S
yesterday morning. The bartender at
the Ivy, a dance ball In I'arallse Alley
ua sitting with a friend in front of
the place when Harry came along. He
gt new, and aald awful bad thing to
tha men. The latter paid no attention
to him otherwls than to glvj him
civil answer to a ipjeKiion which he
axked. Hut Harry wa I'm king fo
bother and followed the bartender Into
the saloon, where he atruek him In
the face with his open hand. The saloon
man told him not to do It again
aa he, too, would do the lap act. Then
Harry became pretty mad and aald
several more uncomplimentary things
Finally Captain Hallock came along,
and told Harry' to make himself con
splcuou by his abaence, but Harry
poaitlvely refused to do It. Ho the
ofllrer took him by the back of the
neck and a boa strap and threw him
out of the house. This waa the be
ginning of Harry's woea. In the police
court Manuer presented a very bad
apearance. Hla head was cut In sev
eral place, aa waa alio his face. His
shirt was covered with blood and be
looked like the laat rose of summer.
He haa brtn a source of trouble to the
police for yeara and his sentence will
not be regretted by the officer. He I
a young man. but seem to be of little
good In the world. All the money he
makes he loses through drink and Is
drunk w hen he Isn't In Jail.

REGATTA ATTRACTIONS.
Among the local sporting fraternity
and those who are enthusiasts In the
matter of athletic sports and exhibi
tions, the subject of a scientific boxkig
contest la receiving much attention. R
is thought that the bout arranged be

terious" Hilly Smith will be one of the
best exhibitions of the manly art ever
seen on the coast.
It la not the Intention of those hav
lug charge of the affair, or the con
testants themselves, to reduce the con
tent to the level of a tough tight to a
finish for the simple sake of that kind
of glory and the money there Is In It.
lloxlng, wrestling, fencing, rowing.
broadsword exercise, football, yachting,
and racing, are the world over the
acknowledged means of developing the
physical part of man to Its highest
pitch and Inculcating the art of self
defense. From time Immemorial, the
Oreek and Roman games have been
copied and more or less emulated In
all countries and nations. Americans
In the past decode or two, have Just
begun to pay some attention to their
physical needs as well as the develop
ment of brains and business.
If the promised exhibition Is carried
out upon the lines designated, a good
lesson will have been taught In the
art of self defense.

HARMONY OF INTEREST ALONI:

Laik bill Already b im
plied by Nitnre.
Now that the construction of the
railroad Is progressing so rapidly all
along the line, and that efforts are
being made to supplement the build
ing of the road by the establishment of
wealth-producing enterprises in Asto
ria. It Is well worth time to stop and
consider the best ways and meana to
be employed to attain the great ob
Ject desired by all. Corey Brothers
have very nearly completed their work
on the first ten miles east of Tongue
point; the big bridge acroaa Young'
bay only require the laying of the
rail In order to have the seashore
trains running Into tha city; the piling
for the track through the city haa been
built as far aa the O. R. and N. dock
and la partially constructed to a point
one thousand feet east of the depot
site; the piling for the depot, switch
yards, will all be In place In a short
time, and work commenced on the
building: Honeyman, DeHart & Co.
have now five or six hundred men at
work on their portion of the contract
from Burnside Point to Coble, and will
soon have a thousand men employed.
What does all this construction work
mean to Astoria, and In what manner
la the city to be benefited by a rail
road ?
The building Into this city of the
terminus of half a doren transconti
nental railways Is not simply for the
purpose of booming real estate and sell
ing town lots. The railroad Is being
built for business purposes. Commerce
demands a railroad down the Columbia
river to the ocean. Astoria la the
natural port for the shipping of not
only the state of Oregon, but for 1
large portion of Washington and Ida
ho. Shipping Interests demand the
construction here of a drydock of sutfl
cient capacity to accommodate the
largest vessels In the merchant marine
service. The entire state of Oregon is
equally interested In the establishment
of a commercial port of the greatest
magnitude at the mouth of the Colum
bia with Astorians themselves. The
reading of the press reports through
out the state shows that there la a
proper appreciation of thla enterprise
on all sides, and that all are working;
harmoniously with Astoria. Portland,
with her Immense capital, confident
that tha aupremacy of the state of
Oregon and the Columbia river aa a
harbor will be soon established, has al
ready expressed a willingness to join
in building up the Interests at the
mouth of the river so soon aa it la
evident that Astorians will help, them
selves and that the railroad will be
completed. The utmost of harmony
will prevail despite the croakings of
mossbacka and obstructionists In both
cities.
What has been done In Astoria by Its
clttxens in the past sixty days? Noth
ing. It seems to be one of the fatalities
of the place that many of Its best peo
ple must sit down and wait for some
one else to move. Astoria does not
take Its hat off to any city in the
state. Today It Is the liveliest business
place on the north Pacific coast, and
yet that advancement which might nat
urally be expected haa scarcely begun.
There are those in the city who not
only think but have publicly expressed
the oplnon that the building up of en
terprises, on the west side of the bay
means the tearing down of business on
the east side, and that the establish
ment of business In Alderbrook means
retrogression In the center of the city.
Such Ideas cannot be entertained for a
moment. There are Just as bright men In
the city of Asorla aa can be found any
where who can take their place among
the business men and financiers of
Chicago or New York. What Is lacking
In Astoria to bring about an Immediate
growth of the city In all lines of busi
ness and the laying of the foundations
of the future commercial center? Har
mony alone will accomplish the one
great object. Every business man and
property holder should look but to the
one thing the building of the greater
Astoria. An enterprise that helps one
end of the city helps all portions of It.
From Tongue Point to Fort Stevens
there can be but one city, one port, one
community of Interests. You can't cut
oft a man's foot without making the
rest of his body sick. So all portions
of the city depend each upon the other.
Every petty Jealousy and factional dif
ference should be burled that the one
great object may be obtained. This la
no time to be asleep. Rip Van Win
kles are out of date. Astoria has no
use for slumberera when the trend of
affairs calls for Intense activity. All
united In a single cause and there Is
nothing that can stop such a growth
and development aa will astonish in a
few yeara the moat enthusiastic Nine
thousand people banded together In a
determined effort to make at the mouth
of tha Columbia such a commercial
center aa la commensurate with the
natural advantage afforded at Asto
ria, must be aucresiful.

Ellensburg, Wash., August 13. Tha
Populist state convention spent the en
tire morning and afternoon sessions in
dlcuslr.g the platform, which waa
read to the convention laat night The
planks which caused the most animated
discussion were those relating to a
reduction of the salaries of officials
and condemning officials for using rail
road paase.
Governor Teats, of Tacoma, waa the
only delegate who waa in favor of
keeping the salaries at the present
standard. He said that after election
wheat would be worth a dollar, and
that the present salarivj would be none
too high then. Several delegates com
mended Pennoyer, of Portland, for what
they termed his sacrifice in cutUnc
hla own salary In half. While the dele
gates appeared to be almost unani
mously in favor of the plank, it took
two hours' discussion to settle the mat
ter. There waa a long discussion over the
1 "f the u" ' P
by official, and aome bitter feeling was
engendered. It appeared that several
of the delegates had be-n accused of

with passes, but that they had not us

When the convention re-convened, the

report was read a storm broke out and
for two hours the convention listened
to a stirring debate on a motion to re

the motion to send the committee back
