Tuewday evening while Horace D. Thing was out horseback riding, by some means or other unexplained, the horse fell and rolled over, sprain ing the young gentleman's right leg and knee. Horace can only hobble about with the aid of a crutch, but will be better soon. In outlining his policy, postmaster general Wanamaker says: "I want to keep the mail-bag open to the latest possible moment, then get it to its destination in the shortest possible time, and then get each seperate piece of mail to the person for whom it is meant in the quickest possible way."

Patrlcius O'Brien and another gentleman who answers to the name of "Big Chris" were the worst bunged up pair of men that the reporter saw in all his travels yesterday. They were both swathed in bandages and each carried his head in a sling. They got into a row with some other gen tlemen, names unknown, in Paradise Lost, the other night, and got badly the worst of it. The Astoria lawn tennis club per manently organized Tuesday evening by the election of the following of ef ficers: W. A. Sherman, president; E. Z. Ferguson, vice president; O. F. Heilborn, secretary; P. S. Cook, treas urer. The grounds alongside the opera house have been fenced in and are being put in order. The first of a series of games will be played in about two weeks. Oregon and California papers are requested to copy the follewing: James Hansen, aged 46 years, and a native of Scandinavia died at Gran ite, Grant county, Oregon, on March 22, 1889, of pneumonia. His illness was of short duration, but he was kindly cared for by the miners. If his relatives should read this they can learn further particulars by ad dressing L. N. Ford, of Granite. The closing episode in the record of tho steamer Haytien Republic, as a trader between Boston and Hayti, occurred last Tuesday at Boston, Mass., when the craft that had been tho object of so much disagreement was sold at auction for S41.000. The purchnser, William Lewis, of New Bedford, will fit the Republic up for Behring sea and the Arctic ocean, as a whaling supply steamer. When built, she cost $112,000. . "I saw Sol Abrahams in Rsseburg," said n returned Astorian yesterday, "and he's struck it. Six years ago he bought some ground in Spokane Falls for 56,400. Well, while I was talking to him when I was in Rose bnrg, a boy gave him a telegram. It said 'Will you take 310,000 for the property? ' and was from Spokane Falls. Sol said, 'Not much I won't,' and put the telegram in his pocked with an air quite recherche?' There will, if nil accounts are true bo lively time3 around Kodiak, Alas ka this summer. Tho Alaska Com mercial Co., have a big dam there and two salmon canneries: other fishing companies have gone there,and around that vicinity thero are now more salmon canning companies than there are sites, and in case the Alaska Com mercial company take a notion to pull out their dam and not pack any salmon there it will be interesting to know what the others propose to do about it. Fraser, in his readable Sundag Budget, says the Tacoma Ledger pays S400 a month for tho privilege of keeping any other paper in Tacoma from getting the Associated Press dispatches. The people of Astoria pay 800 a month for the privilege of being maligned and misrepresented in outside papers. Funny how things work isn't it AskforS800 or 8300 a month to be spent in an Astoria paper, for dispatches and it would paralyze folks, yet Astoria puts up SS00 a month tor outside papers that never have a good word for the town or anyone in it. . United States marshal Atkins has brought down from Alaska five pris oners en route to San Quentin, Cali fornia. Lewis Sharp, who murdered a man in western Alaska, was sen tenced to the penitentiary.

Nor man Dabiike goes for three years for robbing in Juneau; Louis Ranking,, a Russian, to two years for selling whisky to Indians; Aaron, Indian chief of the Chilcat tribe, who is said to have murdered or caused to be killed eleven white miners at different times, who were entering the Yukon country, is sent to prison for four years, charged with mayhem. He defied twelve marshals to ef fect his arrest and gave them ten minutes to leave his mountain re treat. His tribe numbers 2,000 peo ple. Kootwat, another Indian, goes to prison with his nose bitten on, tne result of getting married, his bride biting off that member, whereupon he threw her in a bush fire, where she received severe injuries. The authorities have instructions to send all the prisoners to San Quentin serv ing over one year.

There was a wild rush on Third street yesterday afternoon, in front of Bergman & Co.'s. Three men and two boys were injured, one of the latter, it is feared, fatally. The cause of tho excitement is said to be the appearance of a man walking up Main street. In one hand he carried a fish of the species known as salmo or salmon, (sometimes called chinook salmon) which trailed along the ground at his side. The sight of this strange fish occasioned quite a furor. Several rushed over to examine the fish and one or two made offers to the man to buy it. The crowd in creased, and in the rush six or seven were knocked down and trampled on. It is reported that the offer to buy the fish to cook and eat occasioned a frenzy on the part of all who heard it to eecure so rare a dainty, and in the excitement that followed, the man and fish both disappeared. Later in the afternoon the hopes of several were again aroused by a rumor that a man had been seen on the Main street wharf who said that he had heard that a man had two of these salmon for sale in upper town, but investigation proved this, also, to be a baseless rumor. There is some talk of petitioning tne city council to pass an ordinance empowering citizens to seize and ap propriate (on proper payment there for) all salmon wherever found, until every resident of Astoria shall have had at least one mess of salmon be fore the close season begins. Speaking of Bustles. Not lone since the friends of a popular west side matron decided to give her a surprise party, iter husband was let into the secret in order that madam might be gotten out of the way while her friends took possession of the noose. "My dear," said hubby on the evening in question after supper, "let us take a uttie waix." "No, I can't," said madam, thinking at once of her personal appearance. "I haven't my bustle on. Never mind," she added on second thought, "I'll just put ii on over my aress ana unaer my aioas, and no one will know the difference." So they started on their walk. When the proper time had elapsed Mr. Hus band led the way homo. On arriving Mrs. Wife was becomingly surprised, and her thoughts immediately flew to the enjoyment of her guests. Apologizing for her absence, she threw off her cloak, and there was the bustle. Of course everybody saw it and langhed, and the mean things never told her what they langhed atl When all had gone, and the wile and tne other naif of the iirm had gone to their room, she congratulated erself on the merry time every one had had. "Wasn't it nice?" she exclaimed. "They all enjoyed themselves so muohl" And then she saw tho bustle. Buffalo Express. A Delayed Trip. The Telephone left Potrland on time yesterday morning, but at the mouth of the Willamette, near St Johns, broke a pitman strap, and had to return. She started again at 3:30 yesterday afternoon, and arrived here at 11:10 last night. She left for Port land at 11:35 last night. TIIE LADIES DELIGHTED.

Reed. llow Men Die. If wo know all the methods of ap proach adopted by an enemy we are the better enabled to ward off the danger and pospone the moment when surrender becomes inevitable. In many instances tho inherent strength of the body suffices to enable it to op pose the tendency toward death. Many however have lost these forces to such an extent that there is little or no help. In other cases a little aid to the weakened Lungs will make all the difference between sudden death and many years of useful life. Upon the first symptoms of a Cough, Cold or any trouble of the Throat or Lungs, give that old and wellknown remedy Boschee's German Syrup, a earful trial. It will prove what thousands say of it to be, tho "bene actor of any home." That Was One for Sally.
