Uerryraan Jennings died at his home Clackamas county Saturday morning. Ho was a pioneer, having come to Oregon in 1&17. Ho was at one time grand master of the Masons of Oregon.

The-itrwU -are cleaner in our sister city, the stores finer, the buildings larger except the oapitol and the surroundings of the city, the river, the glorious mountains and the firs make a picture moompar ably superior to the California city. An exchange speaks of Benjamin, Harrison, a lawyer of lndianoplis Indiana, as "tho president elect.' There is no "president-elect" But the 401 presidential electors who meet nest month in their respective states, will probably give that gentle man a handsome majority. Then, but not till then, will he be "presi dent-elect," till March 4th, when he will oooupy tbe highest position of any man on the planet. Captain Thomas Johnson, of tbe tug Rip Van Winkle, was instantly killed last Friday night at theTa coma Mill company's wharf, by fall ing off the gang plank while attempt ing to get ashore.

The land contest between Arthur Harris and the Northern Pacific Bail- road company resulted iu Mr. Harris being allowed to make a new filinz on the 14th inst.

How Hen Die. If we know all the methods' of ap proach adopted by an enemy we are the better enabled to ward off the danger and pospoue themomentwhen surrender becomes inevitable. In many instances the inherent strength of the body suffices to enable it to op pose the tendency toward death, Many however have lost theso forces to such an extent that there is little or no help. In other cases a little aid to the wekened Lungs will make all tho difference between sudden death and many years of usef nl life. Upon tho first symptoms of a Cough, Uold or any trouble of the throat or Lungs, give that old and wellknown remedy Uosohee'a German Hyrup, a careful trial. It will prove what thousands say of it to be, the "bene factor of any home." Oae At A Time. The city of Salem should secura the Woolen mill by all means and then the Astoria road will follow in its course. Give tho capital city these two improvements and no city in the state will bavo a better as- suranoo of greatness. Salem Jour' nal, 24.

The audience was small but re pectable, the admission free, tbe time 2 p. m., and the dramatis per sona) home talent exclusively. The engagement wa3 played under the auspices of Sheriff Snridt; the chief actor was Ben Worsley, who played the star part The play was short, its title being, "Sold at a -Sacrifice; or, the last days of '88." During the progress of the perform ance 112 pairs of roller skates were sold for S17.50; 351 ohaira for 25 cents apiece: 81,000 worth of soenery and stage properties for S60, and. every- ining eise in wee xatio.

PERSONAL MENTION. T. J. Heckard, of Ft. Stevens, is a notary public Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Thomes expect to shortly return to Astoria. Dr. J. W. Hill, a son of Mrs. Dr. Owens Adair, of this city, left yester- terday for bis home in Yakima, W. X. Peter Brach, T. M. Johnson, O. Lundbnrg, M. Bohfeld, D. Boyle, H. D. Newbery, M. Kenna, T. H. Curtis and J. D. Thompson went to Portland yesterday evening. Salem, Tillamook And Astoria. Begirding tho construction ot a line of rail from Salem to the sea, the. Capital Journal in a recent issue said:- "Tho time is ripe for something' to be dona. Let the op portunity not pass unheeded. .-Now is the time to'aot." The Tillamook Headlight remarks: "That is tho proper- way. for pro gressive people to talk, and Tilla mook is ready 'tp ..shake bands and go to wore witn any 'company wuo win use. the.proper"energy-,aqd display the proper tact looking to tho further ance of the scheme. Whv- Astoria should go to sleep upon the' eve of aohievmz a victory is . more than mortal can comprehend, but it seems her""diotate is f hns far and no far ther,' But if Salem'will lend aid to the project hor- future will be as sured, and nfter it is. too lato Astoria will wake up to nnd tbat Kip Van Winkle reaognizes, not even his 'dog Snyder.' Tillamook wants this road, Salem needs itin bet; line of business. and Astoria could make herself the banner' shipping port of the north Pacific. If Astoria wishes to give it tho cold shoulder let' Salem como right along to Tillamook, and we will afford and accord her all privileges any sea port town on the coast can give, besides working band in hand and heart to heart with thoe who are ready to further an enterprise in which there 13 incalculable wealth for both termini. Go in, friend Sa lem, and you will find Tillamook always ready to meet you half way." The. Verdict Unanimous. W. D. Suit, Drugdst. BIppus. Ind., testifies: "1 can recommend Electric. Bitters as the very best remedy. Every bottle sold has given relief in every cage. One man tool; six bottles, and was cured of Rheumatism of 10 year-.' standing." Abraham Hare",- druugist, Bellvllle, Ohio, affirms: "'"The best selling medi cine 1 have ever handled in my l!0 ears' experience, is Electric Bitters."
