C?J Wt gaUg gtfiovimt ASTORIA. OREGON: THURSDAY -JULY 25. 18. That sincere and amiable end-of-tlie-worltl crank, the Rev. Mr. Baxter, oC England, Las revised the date for ilie crreat suiasli up. He now declares that it -will occur on the 11th of April, 1S91. Even to-day there are forests in Maine of which it has been said that the whole state of Massachusetts might be set down in the middle of them. A max need not go to the wilds of Africa to get irretrievably lost. All he has to do is to go to the wilds of Chi eago and murder somebody, and the thintf is effectively done. The largest body of fresh water on the globe is Lake Superior. It is 409 miles long, 160 miles wide at its great est breadth, and has an area of 32,000 square miles. Its mean depth is said to be 200 feet, and its greatest about 900 fathoms. Its surface is G35 feet above the sea. A seats-sighted amatenr photogra pher, ofLirni, Ohio, took what he thought was a very affectionate pic ture of a young lady kissing a young man in a shaded dell near the town. "When he developed the picture it af fected him a great deal more than he bargained for, as tho young lady proved to be his wife. Sir Julian Pattncefote, the new British minister, is making many friends in "Washington. No minister sent to the United States by Great Britain has ever been so xintrammelled by the dignity and power of his place as Sir Julian. He is easy to approach and has a friendly, cordial manner that is very inviting. He takes life easily and seems to want everybody to do likewise. AN TJGI.T -DISCOVER"?. A Report That Should Bo Road. "A recent analyzation in Philadelphia by & celebrated chemist of tcu popular brands of snrsaparilladisclosc3 thcastonishingfact that these ten samples of blood purifiers (?) con tained in the aggregate sixteen diflcrcnt min erals, eleven of which were active poisons. Iodide of potash -was discovered ia every sam ple, mercury -was found in all but two, while arsenic existed in six of the ten brands. Not one brand -was the pure article." A reporter took the above clipping to E. W. Joy, tho manufacturer of Joy's Vegetable Sar caparilla. Mr. Joy exhibited no surprise. He said druggists knew it lie said he long ago saw the crying need for a safe and absolutely puro vegetable preparation of Sarsaparilla, hence his was named Joy's vegetable sarsapa rilla, becauso it contained nothing but pure syrup of sarsaparilla, combined with the pure JuIcesofCalifornia'svcgctablcaltcrativcs.

Tlie sudden and strange disappear ance of Geo. Nutting, sheep inspector of Urook county, a few weeks ago lias aroused considerable attention throughout the stale. Tho Prineville News govs that Judge Sumner and Bob Harrington returned from the Trout creek country Friday, where they had been searching for George Nutting since Friday. Thev learned nothing definite regarding tho myste rious disappearance of the man, but they are of the opinion now that he is dead and that lie was murdered. Most, if not all of the settlers of that region are of the same opinion. A systematic method of inquiry is now being made as to where he was last seen, who saw him, where he was go ing, etc.. etc. A thorough investiga tion will be made, which will require time and patient work, If anyone has been suspected of foul play, the fact has not been made public. It will probably require a good deal of time to solve the mystery. The missing man is a brother of Mr. Nutting of the Albany Democrat. Tlie Vcrslsel t-n::i::eoiis. W. D. Suit, Druggbt. JJipjms.

Lattino. ilin murderer of C. C. Grant at Tncomn. 1 L. T-t 1 -. ' lasi j.'nuay,was capcurea Dy conductor Granger and train hands. Last night at 10 o'clock as the Northern Pacific passenger train pulled out of Media, a small station a short distance this side of Tacoma, a strange young man got aboard and very quietly took a seat. His manner of dress was so peculiar that the brakemen, J. P. Hagin and Geo. Hallowell, who had been notified to keep a look out for suspicious char acters, suspected that something was wrong. "When the train reached Ten ino the brakemen turned the strange man's seat back over so that they could see him at all limes. Then they watched him. Mr. Hallowell sat down beside him and struck up a conversation. Instinctively the stranger turned the talk to the Tacoma murder; said it was a very sad thing, yet he could not help but think there was some show for tho murderer. "If thev don't find any money on him when he is caught they can't prove anything on him," said he. Conductor Granger of the tram was then notified concerning the strange action and talk of the man. While the train men were considering what they should do the train pulled up at Winlock, and tho conductor found the following dispatch from tlie chief of police of Tacoma. "A. M. Chesney, search your train for a young man, twenty-two or twenty-three years old. His face is smooth, ho wears a linen coat, and vest of like material, his pants are brown, and he has on slippers. If he is on the train arrest him, and wire me." Tho strange passenger answered the description exactly, he had given his ago to tho brakeman as twenty-three. Ho wore slippers and clothes such as the chief had described m Ins dis patch. Tho sheriff at Kulamn was notified by wire to be on hand to take the man, and then tho train proceeded. All this while, Lattine as he proved' to be, kept talking about tho murder. I AtKalamathe sheriff camo aboard) and arrested him. The prisoner said, 'I am willing to go, sir, I wish vou would take me up at once." He offered no resistance at all, and was taken off the train and held to await the arrival of an officer from Tacoma. Conductor Granger says there is ' will take up about fifty negroes, who not the slightest doubt but that they J arc to bo employed in various ways have caught tho right man. He had j about the canneries of the Kodiak in his pockets somo money, and also a ' Packing company.

Hood. A Portland gentle man has a contract for building a road from that point to Powell's valley road where it crosses the Sandy to the terminus. Coaches for tho route are now in the city, having been ship ped up from California somo months ago. There are two of them and they are of the regular old frontier style. The stages were brought up by Mr. "Win. M. Ladd. A large hotel will be bnilt there, and the place is destined to become a favored locality for recre ation. GOOD SIZED TTMDEKS. Yesterday evening E.N. Cooke camo over from Vancouver with a raft of piling for the big elevator now being built at Albina. The raft contained 1G5 timbers all of which were over 65 feet in length. The work at the ele vator is being crowded along as rapid ly as possible. All men available are employed and put into service, and the trouble is to get enough of them. III!. TEKKIXS' SEVERE CENSURE. Washington. D. C, July 24. Con gressman P. W. Perkins, of Kansas, who is in the city, expresses tho opinion that congress will meet in October. He bases his opinion upon an interview which he had with the president last Tuesday. He does not think that tho Republicans will have any difficulty in organizing the house, or that the organization will consume unusual time. Mr. Perkius believes that while the tariff will oc cupy much attention at the hands of congress, the civil service will bo a subject of legislation. When asked if he thought a change would be mado in tho law, he said: "Yes, congress will have to deal with some recommendations on that sub ject. As at present enforced it ought to be abolished. Tho day I called at the White House I was forced to wait half an hour for tho civil service com mission to get through with tho pres ident. It strikes me that the object of tho present commissioners is to travel about the country to protect Democratic office holders and to assure Democrats on the outside that they will be given the preference in the matter of ex amination asd appoiniment. I never heard of the commissioners encour aging Republicans to apply. Ti present board is composed of as good Democrats as I want to see. Thomp son is a biased partisan, Lyman is a good Democrat and Roosevelt is a What Is It? Tho entire system of competitive examination is" a farce, and discriminates against the bone and sinew of the west in favor of the college bred chap of tho east. The farm boy of tho west, who tills the soil and who is the coming statesman, stands no show with tho boy from tho east, who spends his young life at col lege, comes to Washington and passes a competitive examination and se cures an appointment, and thus an unjust discrimination Is made against the west" Mr. Perkins says ho will fayor very radical legislation of some sort calcu lated to decrease the powers of the civil service commission. THE KODIAK PACKING CO. Take Fifly Xpgi-tir to Work in Alaska. Tho steamer Ilaytien Uepublic, which achieved notoriety b having been seized in Hayti several months ago, and which was subsequently sup posed to have lx?cn lost on her voyage to this port, cleared yesterday for lvo diak island, Alaska, says tho Sun Fran cisco Chrow'rle of tho "li. and was to have sailed in the afternoon, but the evil star which hovered over the vessel in Haxtian waters seem to have pursued herto this port. Soon after the steamer arrived licit she was m:r- chased by the Kodiak Packing com pany and fitted out for t. trip to the north. Captain Brown, who was her master, continued in command, and several days ago he ordered a crew from Curtin's boarding-house, on Steuarfc street, and Curtin agreed to furnish five men, the neces sary crew of the steamer, for S45 a month each. The men were equipped by the boarding house man, and they went on the vessel yesterday morning. Shortly afternoon a delegation from the Steamship Seamen's union went on board the vessel and ordered the men oiT, stating that they were not following out tho constitution of the Coast Seamen's union, to which they belonged. The delegates stated that no man not a member of the Steam ship Seamen's union could ship on the vessel. Tlie men had feigned properly and were not aware that they were not acting rightly by their union by ship ping, so one of them went to the oiliee of the Coast Seamen's union a ad asked for information. They were told by tho secretary that they were acting wrongly, and were ordered to leave tlie vessel. The steamer was left without crew all tho after noon, owing to the delay, and as there were no sailors belong ing to the Steamship Seamen's union to be obtained, the captain found it impossible to sail. The wages to Alaska, according to the lat ter union's scale or wages, are S-10 a month, and it is likely that there will be a muss between tho two unions, especially as tho Coast Seamen's crow were engaged at S5 more a month for the round trip than the other union's : standard wages. Another phase r the store comes in on a statement by the owners that they will go about lle water front and endeavor to hire a crew for 2o or $30 a mouth, which they claim to be able to do. Such an action will put a quietus on tue light between the two unions, so far as the Haytieu- liepublw is concerned. The steamer will not sail before to-morrow, owing to the disturbance.
