Several timber cruisers who have been all through the country south of here, have been in the city during the past week. They all agree that a railroad to Forest Grove could be cheaply built and would tap as fine a body of timber as there is in the United States. The first fatal accident this season on the river oocurred yesterday morning at Great Republic spit. Boat No, one, belonging to W. D. Smith, was upset and Gus Schultz,the boat puller, was drowned.

The Cosmopolis sailed yesterday for San Pedro with 350 M. feet lumber. The Miles brought over several passengers this trip and 32 M. feet cedar lumber. An Explanation. What is this "nervous trouble" with whioh so many seem now to be af flioted? It you will remember a few years ago the word Malaria was com paratively unknown, to-day it isjas common as any word in the English langunge, yet this word covers only the meaning of another word used by our forefathers in times past. So it is with nervous diseases, as they and Malaria are intended to cover what our grandfathers called Billiousness. and all are caused by troubles that arise from a diseased condition pf the uiver wnicn in periormmg its iunc tions finding it cannot dispose of the bile through the ordinary channel is compelled to pass it off through the system, causing nervous troubles, Malaria, Billions Fever, etc. You who are suffering can well appreciate a cure. We recommend Green's Au gust Flower. Its cures are mar velous. Steps haTe been taken to secure the right of way for a narrow gauge logging railroad from Scappose bay to the Nehalem river, by way of the Oak Ranch pass. The parties interested are Messrs. Cleveland Rockwell, E. J. Jeffrey,John Davidson and A.Kinney, all of Portland. The country tra versed is rich in timber and iron, and it will be quite easy to extend the roid to the newly-discovered Neha lem coal fields. The Astoria people will wake up some time and find that thai which should have been theirs has gone elsewhere. Mist. Money To Loan. Inquire at office of W. L. Robu.

The Democratic county convention met at their club room at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon and was called to order by the chairman, Dr. Alfred Kinney. H. Wise, secretary. The chairman stnted that the convention which met at Liberty Hall, March 30th, had adjourned to this date to nominate the next county officers. Geo. Johnson moved that the chair man cast the vote for the absent del egates, or those not reported as pres ent; motion lost. Mayor Page came in and asked at what stage the pro ceedings were, and suggested that it would be well to appoint county res idents outside the city to represent precincts otnerwise unrepresented. The suggestion was acted upon, and on motion of O. R. Thomson, J. T. Mulkey was appointed to represent Seaside precinct: on motion of O. H. Page, John Rogers was appointed to represent Westport precinct, and J. W. Denver. Fiahhawk precinct. The committee on order of busi ness, consisting of Herman Wise, Geo. Noland, H. A. Smidt, Geo. M.

Mayor Page changed motion to read that the house be cleared of all not delegates and that the convention then resolve itself into a caucus to discuss further business. A motion to make the time of resuming open session four o'clock instead of six o'clock was accepted and the motion as amended was carried. Robert Grant was appointed doorkeeper, the reporters and spectators withdrew, and at 2:30 o'clook the convention went into executive session. At 4-20 the caucus adjourned, hav ing balloted for and otherwise made up their ticket and entirely decided npon the nominations, and after a few minutes was again called to or der, the doors being opened and out siders admitted. The roll of the del egates was called, after which, on mo tion of Mayor Page, a recommenda tion was read from the caucus that the following nominations for the several offices be made: State sen ator, J. F. Page; representatives, Geo. Noland, Jno. H. Smith; county commissioners, J onn Warns tall, Jas. Brown; sheriff, W. G. Ross; clerk, u. j. xrencnara: treasurer. Isaac Bergman; assessor, Thos. Logan; school superintendent, U. a. Thom son; coroner, W. H. Zumwalt; sur veyor, left to central committee; justice of the peace, Astoria precinct, A. A. Cleveland; constable, i. A, Smidt. Mayor Pace moved that the report of the caucus be adopted and the names given be considered the unani mous choice of the convention for the various county offices to be filled at the election on the fourth of next month. The motion was nnam mously agreed to. The chair stated that Hon. J. K. Weatherford would address the citizens at the opera house at eight o'clock this evening, that Jno. M. Gearin, democratic nom inee for congress, and Gov. Pennoyer would Bpeak on tne 2btu, and Jno. if. Irish, of California, on the 1st of June. He also stated tnat iion. u. Leinenweber would speak at the meetinc at the opera house to-night The chair made some further re marks eulogistic of the Democratic candidates and Democratic principles and said the ground upon whioh he stood was secured to the United States by Thomas Jefferson. Dr. J.F. Page being loudly called for came forward and made a brief speech. He said that we had lately returned to Democratic principles, same as parties of the long time past. There were two forces in the solar Bystem, the one centrifugal, the other centripetal, so with parties, one tend ing to sectionalism and disunion, the other to centralization, both equally subversive to the life of the republic. It was a mistake to enfranchise the negro; this government is a polit ical self-partnership. Webelongtoa dominant race living in s latitude that has produced the highest efforts in human progress and the negro vote should not be a factor in our government. He eulogized the late S. J. Tilden, with whose wntincra he thought every Democrat Bhould be familiar, and closed by thanking the convention for the honor conferred npon him. Mayor Page being called, on said "we have had a caucus and a har monious convention, and I shall heartily support, work for and vote for every nominee .on the ticket." Sheriff Ross in response to calls said that he thanked the convention for the nomination for a third term; that he had not sought the nomina tion, had not got rich during the two terms that he had held the office of sheriff, but would cheerfully accept the nomination and make the race. He didn't know and didn't care who his opponent would be, but would meet him in a fair honest race. Through the two campaigns in which he was elected sheriff he had not ut tered one word of slander against his opponent and was for peace and har mony. . Ike Bergman, was next called for. He was glad to see so many level headed Demecrats: not one could say he had sought or asked for a nomina tion; he felt pleased to have 'been nominated fur a third term for county treasurer: not for the office nor anything connected with it, but as n mark ol the confidence reposea in him, and as an endorsement of his administration of the county finances. C. R. Thomson, beipg called for, suggested that as it was growing late he would only thank the convention for the nomination and pledge him self to do his best to help elect the entire ticket A. A Cleveland, in response to calls, said be thanked the convention for renominating him to the office he now holds, if elected would do the best he could to fill it fairly and im partially, and if an honest desire to do right is appreciated he thought he would have a good show for success. Geo. Johnson, being called for, said as he had no place on the ticket, and the real work of the convention was dono, he would ask to be ex cused from any extended remarks, bnt thought that each Democrat shonld constitute himself a committee of one to help elect the ticket A motion to adjourn was carried; and the convention dispersed.
