Astoria is considerably worked up over tho fact that almost every -man and boy over 17 years old is carrying concealed weapons, and that several shooting scrapes have happened of late which is demonstrating that the practice is a dan gerous one and should be abolished. Nothing like this goes in Salem. States man, 1. The above is a sample of statements going the rounds of the state press, founded on false assertions made in ig norance, malic6 or stupidity. Here, we all know it to be f alse.but such published lies hurt Asteria: people coming into the state and reading these silly falsehoods naturally attach some cn-dence to them. As a matter of fact there is no more peaceful community in the nerthwest: there is no community that can exhibit a better record. From other parts of the state which would be invidious to men tion, come almost daily reports of mur ders, rapes, seduction, shootings, lynch ings and kindred devilment. Astoria challenges comparison in this regard: it invites immigration, peaceful, well disposed people, to make their homes with us and share in our mutual prosperity, and asks the pre3s of the seate to pay no attention to stupid and malicious assertions made for the lowest, personal purposes. Those papers who have republished such statements as the above are respectfully asked to give publicity to this authentic and truthful denial. WINDOWS GREAT WORK. About fifteen years ago the business necessity which more than any other pressed heavily upon the government was that of cheaper transportation from the western and southern states to the Atlantic seaboard. The cost of trans portation was enormous. Farmers were burning their corn in the western states for f ael while the price in the east to those who needed it for fuel, was high. We had GO.OOO miles of railroad then; we have 150,000 miles now. It cost 2 cents per ton per mile to trans port freight then on our trunk rail roads; it costs less than 1 cent per ton per mile now. It cost 33 cents to trans port a bushel of grain from Chicago to New York in 1873, all rail, and 10 cents now. It cost 2G cents by lake and rail then, and only 12 cents now. It was a great problem. One of the biggest this country ever had to face. A northwest ern senator took the lead. He had a committee appointed and was made chairman of it. A report was made which stands to-day as the basis for all subsequent reports. It brought together all the vast and complex facts about the internal commerce of the country. It revealed to the country how we had neglected and treated with apparent indifference our internal trade, which was then enormous. The "Report of Transportation Routes to the Seaboard" wps a great report, both in itself and because it was the first report of the kind ever made. Its influence on legis- tion in relation to the internal commerce of the country was tremendous. The author of the first report and the pio neer in this important line of in quiry, which has brought forth such splendid results both in legislation and in reducing the cost of transportation, was "William "Windom, the present sec retary of the treasury. The Philadelphia Recor d says that if the duty on salt were repealed the Amer ican salt trust "could not exist a day after tho passage of the repealing act." But a large and prosperous salt trust ex ists in free trade England, of which this trust is an auxiliary. How does the Rec ord make this fact and its assertion con sistent? 'Tis said that in Tacoma there are ten young men to one young weman: tho ten young men want to marry. 'Tis said in Massachusetts there are ten young wo men to one young man. The ten young women want to marry. Tho faro from Massachusetts to Tacoma, job lots, is not over $50 a head. South Carolina wants to get np a fight between a lion and ten bulldogs, but the trouble is to find the lion. After the fight the trouble would be to find the bulldogs. Ejocli. The transition from long, lingering and painful sickness to robust health marks an epoch in the life of the indi vidual. Such a remarkable event is treasured in the memory and the agency whereby the good health has been at tained is gratefully blessed. Hence it is that so much is heard in praise of Elec tric Bitters. So many reel they owe their restoration to health to the. use of the Great Alterative and Tonic. If 3'ou are troubled with any disease of the Kidne3's, Liver or Stomach, of long or short standing you will surely find re lief by ue of Electric Bitters. Sold at 50 c, and Si per bottle at J, W.

She trinned down to the foamv edoe of the surf and ran.back, screaming prettily as the water ran up over her toes. And all cue spectators smiled. And then she ran down again and danced on one toe and then on the other, and then on both at once as sne got in all tne way up to hej ankle. Then she plucked up an ner courage ana as a big wave rolled in she ran to meet it. It flopped her bang up against the beach, knooked her sailor hat into shape lessness, and as it receded drew her out as if she bad been a wooden ball. It was almost too much of a good thing, and she struggled and wiggled and spluttered. And while she struggled to get a foot hold another wave seized her and she flonped over on top of it, as light as an eggsnen. ijuick as -tnougnt came a third, and she danced over the top of that also, and every time she tried to get on ner feet sue was whisked back. Then she realized that she was beauti fully floating out to sea, and she sent up a scream tnac startled tne batners near her. Ono of them, young and brave and strong, rushed for it was too shallow to swim to her rescue. He seized her by the shoulder, but her feet would not down, and, being a wise and thoughtful lad, he towed her in to shore. She hardly stopped to say. thank you, and with the red blood of confusion showing in her tanned cheeks, rushed away to change her garments. She might have escaped with that had she not imparted the secret of the episode to a friend. And the secret was this: She was a E rodent girl, with a proper regard for er safety. She had taken out the whale bones of her corsets and introduced cork stays, and had put another layer of cork in her stockings. She had miscalculated the effect, only to And that while the cork kept her nicely above water, it quite as effeotuaUy prevented her getting down also. The story came out, and the girl left the Seaside simultaneously yester day. AN ASTONISHING CHANGER , "My dear madam, I never saw you loots a . so well, and you were so poorly, too." "Yes, doctor, Joy's Vegetable Sarsapani . ! the grandest thing in the world for ruc-cu ., a norvoua and debilitated women. Thai'i ti secret of my appearance." Up to a month ago Mrs. Belden, on ci lady, living at 510 if ason street, San Fran.i .-.. was falling In health and flesh so rapi iU t seriously alarm her relavlves. Shi ' writes: "I have taken but ono bottio of , .., Vegetable Sarsaparllla, but it la astonishing. I am regalnl"g my lost flesh and have not felt aa well In yeara." A London Newspaper. The newspaper of London is a great institution. Each daily runs up its news in a big card plaoed in a publio position around tho city a new placard for each edition all posted over the city like circus bills. The London Times has one queer custom. It costs six cents per num ber, the others but one or two cents. Large numbers subscribe only to the sending of the Times n certain hour daily. A carrier delivers to his reader at a certain hour, then takes it back and delivers it to another reader. This costs but two cents, and begins at six and ends at twelve, noon. So one paper serves six persons, and the carrier gets twelve cents and has the paper left. A carrier with twenty patrons makes a good living. And this is ono of tho many thousands of ways of making n living in n great city, and shows that cities must grow greater so long as a portion or tneir peo ple aro prosperous creators or wealth. They will need the others to serve them in some way. He saw wonderful things in the Times office. Among oth er things a man sits with a telephone to his ear receiving the debates of parlia ment and setting them up with a type setter, played like a type writer; it is justified by hand, proof read, locked, sent to the stereotype room for a paper macho impression and carried to one of the eight malter presses constantly run ning. In like manner all the news is gathered from the street and telephoned with editorials to the printer. Their Business Booming. Probably no one thing has caused such a general revival of trade at J. "NV. Conn's Drug Store as his giving away to their customers of so many free trial Domes ot Dr. Jvings isew Discovery tor Consumption.

Early Risins Not Always Deemed Bene ficial. All this talk about early rising is moonshine. The habit of turning out of bed in the middle of the night suits some people; let them enjoy it. But it is only folly to lay down a general rule upon the subject. Somo men are fit for nothing all day after they have risen early every morn ing. Their energies are deadened, their imaginations are heavy, their spirits are depressed. It is said you can work so well in the morning. Some people can, but others can work best at night; others, again, in the afternoon. Long trial and experi ment form the only conclusive tests upon these peints: As for getting up early because Pro fessor All-Gammon has. written letters to the papers proving the necessity of it, let no one be goose enough to do it. "We all know the model man aged 80: "I invariably arise at 5 o'clock; I work three hours, take a light breakfast namely, a cracker and a pinch of salt; work nve hours more; never smoke, never drink anything, but barley water, eat no dinner, aqd go to bed at G o'clock in the evening." If anybody finds that donkeyfied sort of life suits him, by all means let him continue it. But few people would care to live to 80 on these terms. If a man cannot get nil withered and crumpled up on easier conditions than those, it is almost us well that he should depart before he is a nuisance to himself and a bore to everybody else. Schoolboys and young- people gener ally ought to get up earlv, for it is found that nine-tenths of tbeni can stand it, and it does them good. But let no one torture himself with the thought that he could have been twice as good a man as he is if he had risen every morning at daylight. This habit would kill half of us iu less than fivo years. Medical Classics. NEW TO-DAY. For Rent. A NEAT LIT jjl. rooms, furnished or unfurnished.
