The Salem Water company have just put in a seventy-five horsepower steamboiler as an nnxilliary in case of accident to their water wheel. The British bark Firth of Stroma, 1,153, captain Porter, forty days from San Diego and the British bark Thunderbolt 1,193, from San Pedro arrived in yesterday. The Salvation army in Petaluma, Cal., received rough treatment at tho hands of a mob two weeks ago, and did not venture out again till last Tuesday night, when they were driven back again. .The Arctic Packing company of Cook's inlet, Alaska, intends to have a steamer built during the coming winter. She is fo be eighty-flvo feet long and twenty feet beam, and capable of steaming nine knots. The tin root on Fulton & Demerit's new brick building is almost com pleted, and the front was being ce mented yesterday. A portion of the cornice is in place and when finished the building will be a substantial or nament to the city. Tho State come down yesterday and commenced taking aboard a mis cellaneons cargo of freight including salmon. 300 bundles of paper pulp from tho xoung s river mm, a lot or. shopks and about sixty tons of rock, in pieces weighing about three tons each, for anchors for buoys at San Francisco. She will sail to-day." Housekeepers should be careful as sneak thieves are around. Look out for them. We have had knowledge of overcoats and silk umbrellas hav ing been stolen from private resi dences in town during the past three days. Housekeepers will do well to -keep their front doors locked or re move everything worth having from the hall. It is explained by tho assignees of Wm. T. Coleman & Co. that a settle ment with their creditors on tbSbnsis of 40 cents on each dollar of indebt edness will soon be made. A large majority of the creditors havo signed a conditional agreement accepting the terms offered. There has been a great loss of time in rpaching the creditor, who nre scattered al! over the world. Tho secretary of the interior last Tuesday rendered eighty decisions allowing applications to enter, as homesteads land within the indem nity limits of the Northern Pacific railway, in the eastern part of Wash ingtou territory and in-the western part of Idaho. These decisions fol low that in tho case of Guilford Mil ler, and nearly all the locations nre in bis immediate neighborhood. Tho bell tower surmounting the oity hall at Wnlla Walla has been re inoved, and the fire bell will bo hung outside, to see if it can bo heard in case of alarm. If the experiment docs not succeed, the tower will be bnilt 20 feet higher. The bell tower in this city wns experimented with in the same manner and with improve ment. Tho only trouble is it Bhould have been raised forty feet instead of twenty bo to carry it above the high rst buildings. It is a mistaken notion that .soruo people have that they can get better bargains of traveling agenta than they can of merchants who nre doing n permanent business here with us. Merchants who have stores here and nnd pet their suDPlie3 in large quan tities by 'freight, can afford to sell goods cheaper than traveling agents, who make a big commission out of their sales and have their traveling expenses to pay. Trade at home and help build up'your town. The crowd of young hoodlums which congregate in the evening in front of and around the salvation army barracks, are a far greater nui sance taan the salvation army itseir. An old resident of Astoria, himself the father of a family, remarked in our hearing last night "There are nt least 40 boys in this community to whom it would be a charity and god send, if they could be shipped, or, still better, be placed on board a training ship for the nest five years. The question seems naturally to arise What oversight do the parents exercise over these boys? It has been stated in several of our exchanges that tho presidential elec tors for Oregon would meet at the capitol in Salem, on Wednesday Dec. 5th, to cast their ballotsfor president and vice president, but it seems that in conformance to a change made by congress last year for the purpose of allowing more time for the adjudi cation of contests that might arise over the election of electors in the various states, the electors are to meet at the capitol in their respect ive states on the second Monday in January, (at 12 o'clock, noon, pre cisely), following the November elec tion and then proceed to organize and cast their ballots for president and vice president. PERSONAL MENTION. E. W. Tallant and wifo arrived home yesterday morning from an ex tensive eastern tour. While Jos. Sarprenant was return ing from Oregon City Tuesday, he was taken sick and compelled to stop in Portland. Geo. W. Heald, a former employe of The AsToitrAB, arrived on the Columbia yesterday morning, and will be welcomed by many friends. Almost a Conflasjation. The short but sharp alarm of fire which rung out last evening about nine o'clock, was occasioned by the discovery of a bright flame blazing in nearly the center of C. H. Cooper's dry goods and clothing store, widely and favorably known as the I. X. L. store. County assessor Joseph Sin nott happening by, observed the flame and smoke and instantly gave the alarm, which was quickly responded to by both the fire engine and hook and ladder companies. No one, ap parently, being inside tho store, the door was forced open and, very for tunately, tho fire was smothered, thus avoiding tho necessity of playing a stream of watpr upon it, which from the nature of tho goods in the store would have greatly increased the damages. The fire evidently originated from the sparks of burnt carbon falling from the electric light, directly under which is located the cloak depart ment. Over tho clonks, most of which were hanging at full length on a frame, was spread a large muslin covering to keep off the dust. The carbon sparks had set fire to the muslin, which in turn set fire to the cloaks. Some twenty-five or thirty of which costing all the way from $10 to $40 each, are badly damaged. It was a narrow escape or. tho loss of a very largo and valuable stock of goods. We understand that Mr. Cooper, who is now on a business trip to San Francisco, keeps his stock folly insured. Patroni7e Yonr Home Bookseller. Speaking of holiday presents a lady remarked, confidentially, to a friend, yesterday: "1 have just got a nice present for my son; a set of Dicken's works." "And what did you pay for them," said the friend. "Twenty-five dollars," she replied. "Where did yon get them?" Oh, I got them of a traveling agent who called." "Well," said the friend I bought me a nice set of 15 volumes of Dicken's works nt Griffin & Reed'a yesterday, for 312. They have other Eets there not quito so showy, of ten volumes for S10 a But, and sets of Bulwer's novels, and other writers in tho same proportion. Now, I tell yon I believo it pays to patronize our home bookseller. You have paid that agent S25, and I have got ju3t as good a set of Griffin & Reed for $12. Yon might have saved S13 of good money it you had traded there too and kept the money at home. I find I can save money by buying my holiday presents of books or albums of a reliable home firm.

St. Louis, Nov. 2L The senate committee to investigate the cattle question, resumed work this morn ing. The first witness was J. L. Bush, a cattle man of Colorado City, Texas. He related the decadence ot prices on cattle, and attributed it principally to over-production. He had heard of a combination of dressed beef interests in Chicago, but did not have a personal knowledge of its ex istence. Witness had no personal knowledge ot discrimination by rail roads. A WHITEOIItPETj MURDERER FOILED. London, Nov. 21. Great excitement was occasioned this morning when it was reported that "another woman was murdered and mutilated in Whitechapel. The police formed a cordon around the premises. An enormous crowd rushed to the vicin ity in which the crime was committed when it was learned that another murder had been attempted on a low woman by a man who accompanied her to a lodging house, but in this instance his work had been frustrated. According to tho woman's story, ho seized her and struck her once on the throat with n knife. She strug gled and succeeding in freeing her self from his grasp, screamed for help. Her cries alarmed the man and he fled without attempting far ther violence. Some of tho neigh bors, who heard the woman's screams, followed the would-be murderer, when he disappeard. The woman says she is fully able to recognize, the rman, and gave a description of him to the police. base ball. New York, Nov. 2L The base ball convention convened this morning.

Recess was then taken. Their Business Boominjr. Probably no one thlnghas caused such a general revival of trade at J no. C.

"One of the worst things we have to contend with in our business, as far as our unmarried male and female employes are conce'rned," said a dry goods man, "is love. When a young lady, say in tho hosiery department, falls in love with a nice young man in the dress goods department, or any other department, for that matter, thero is trouble ahead for the em ployers. If the young man should happen to return the young lady's affection the trouble is doubled. Hon does this make any difference to us? In nine cases out of ten the ten der passion unfits its victims for work in the same dry goods'store. This is especially.so in the case of the young ladies. Once they get in love with a young man at another counter their minds instead of being at their own counters, are continually at the young man's counter. The result of this is that the love smitten maid i3 absent minded and inattentive to business. I have seen many a bright young wo man who was very valuable to us become utterly worthless behind her counter simply because she got to thinking more of a good looking young man at some other counter than she did ot our business. "It's the same way with the young men, too. When they get too far gone there is only one thing left for us to do, and that is to disohargo them and fill their places. I confess I always regret to take this step, and I never do it unless in self defense. But when the trouble reaches a cer tain stage there is no alternative. Of course we go about it in a round about way, and never give the real cause for dispensing with their serv ices. Wo explain that business is dull or something of that sort, and never let on that tho little passion they nurse so tenderly has sacrificed their positions in tho store. 2V. Y. Times. An Explanation. What is this "nervous trouble" with which so many seem now to be af flicted ? If you will remember a few years ago tho word Malaria was com paratively unknown, to-day it is as common as any word in the English language, 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 aud Malaria are intended to cover what our grandfathers called Billiousness, and all are caused by tronblea that arise from a diseased condition of tbe Liver which in performing its funo tions finding it cannot dispose ot the b.io turongu tne ordinary channel is compelled to pass it off through the system, causing nervous troubles, Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. Yon who are suffering can well appreciate a cure: .We jgcommend Green's Au gust Flowers.

" The large iron shutter intended to protect the lantern at Tillamook light from damage during the heavy win ter gales which occasionally throw surf clean over it, is about completed at the Willamette Iron works. It is mounted on brass castors, and a cir cular iron track is provided, on which the shutter can be easily and quickly rolled around'to the shore side of the lantern in fine weather. The shutter was to havo been completed to-day to be shipped on the Manzanita; but as that steamer's throttle is in the shop for repairs, she is not likely to snil for a day or two. On the wharf at the iron works aro a large number of heavy castings for the light house at cape Meares. The castings are sections ot the octagonal tower of the light. There are three series of them which will reach from the masonry to the base ot the lan tern. There will have to be a good road made from Tillamook spit to tho summit of Cape Meares in order that these heavy castings may be got up mere. vityuiiiuii ai. - For First Place.
