" The court house block would make a splendid site for a large new hotel, all same Portland or Taeoma, to be called the Asloii ;. Street work goes on with undimin ished vigor, greatly to the general improvement, Bv the wav, how about West Gth street. Next to Portland the Western Un ion telegraph Co 's office in lhh city does more business than am other telegraph office in the state. Part of the Tillamook :oek cable has arrived, and part i to arrive, the intention being to lay it from Ft. Ste vens to the rock this season. Fish have been plent on the Ne- halem this fall. The fishermen have caught alont 1,000 to the boat on an average, the cannery there having put up 6,000 cases to October Gth. Messrs. Watson and Parker, super intendent and contractor of the A. & S. C. R. R, will pay out over $7,000 to the men working on the road to-day. Most of the money will be paid out in Astoria. Corded up on Second and Third streets are chunks of logs cat from prehistoric roadways excavated to make room for a modern sewer on Main street, built by lacustrine dwel lers in the glacial period. The present custom house would make a good court house and county building: the lower part for clerk, sheriff, treasurer, etc.: the upper story for circuit ceurt: another story should be added and a new roofput on. Fifty Chinese arrived at Taeoma from Alaska the other day, but were warned that the old committee of fif teen, who drove the Chinese out of that city some years ago, would attend to their cases, and they left on the same steamer that brought them. There is some talk of starting a steam laundry, to be run by white folks. It's a good idea The pro jectors would do well, however, to see Fred Norris; he might be able to give them a few points -on the matter, as he sunk 3,000 trying to establish one here some years ago. Astoria's annual death rate is 7.63 to the thousand. San Francisco's an nual loss by death is 12.77 to the thousand, while in the next lowest, London, it is 14, and in New York 22. In Boston and St Petersburg" the rate is the highest recorded, being 26.7 to the thousand in both cities. Yesterday evening while driving . pile3 for the bridge of the A. & S. C. B. R.. the chain slipped down, a pile striking a man and knocking him off the gins onto the scow, severely spraining his shoulder and. injuriug him about the head. He was brought to town- and fixed up, and will be well in a day or two. The senatorial committee on Pacific railroads, which will shortly be here will be taken to the jetty while here. Each of these gentlemen has a potent vote on river and harbor improve ments this winter and one always feels better disposed toward a project with which he has become "acquainted by personal observation. Yesterday afternoon a man named John Ostrom, while at work repairing the roadway-between the Clatsop mill and the Columbia cannery, had the little finger of his right hand com pletely smashed off by jamming it be tween two stringers. Medical attend ance was procured and the man fixed up as comfortable as possible. A little girl put in an appearance at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Alf. D. Bowen, at an early hour yesterday morning, and made successful claim to citizenship. The utmost hospi- iiC tality was extended to the little stran ger, and arrangements were promptly made to induce her to make perma nent residence with the family. Con gratulations are in order. Electricity does a godd many things nowadays. On entering several busi ness houses one hears a ting a ling, the pressure of the foot ringing a boll in the back office. The latest caper is an electric button in the wall which lights any one or all the gas jets and turns them off with silent celerity. It is corning into general, use and is as handy as a pocket in a shirt The case wherein the "Norton ma chine company, of Chicago. J Ms. at tempt to set iyp a claim v. hr n'bv to si'; me an injunction ar-' i. t -'en-sen Candling company, ot tins c- , is now all in before Judge Saw er, of the U. S. district court who yesterday read several affidavits, and will shortly announce his decision, as o grant ing or refusing the injunction. Another large load of iron starts to morrow morning from Portland for the tracklayers along the line of the road. If they can be kept supplied, in thirty days from date an Astorian can jump aboard at the west end of the tre3tlework and go flying down to where the fathomless waves in magnificence toss and high homeless and free soars the wild albatross. In the case of citizen Turk the Port land jury disagreed, and were dis charged. If he will go to Portland, (and no one here objects), matters will be made as easy for him there as pos sible, in the fond hope that he will net as a magnet or a mascot to draw some of the shionine husvnss there. Bc-8UgVit-tr go into partnership with ( haplain btubbs, that holy man. Mr. L. S. J. Hunt, one of the pro prietors of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, flung down by mistake a $50 bill for a SS.one in buying a 10 cent cigar the other day," and got $4.90 in change. On discovering his mistake he was unable to recover the lost $45. Such little mistakes as paying out $50 in mistake for $5 is so common among newspaper men and other millionaires as to excite little notice. Dr. ,T. J. Fisher of Albina and M. A. Golf of Chicago, HI., who have had an option for the last five days on the west row of blocks containing 55 lots in Riverside addition to As toria yesterday wired their acceptance and seut Messrs. Mausell and Spittle a check for $2,000 in payment thereof. This closes out the whole plat with the exception of 7 lots, the whole 30 acre.i having been sold within the last 30 days. Last Saturday the mail carrier who carries the mail between the Seaside and the Nehalem had a very narrow escape from drowning. While cross ing the Nehalem river which was very much swollen by the heavy rains, his horse was swept from under him and drowned. He managed to reach shore more dead than alive, after losing the mail sack. This was the first trip the man had taken and it was quite unfortunate fop him as the horse was a valuable one. One ot Astoria's anleponed needs is a new custom house. Astoria is out growing the present one, and needs a government building more in accord ance, with the demands of the present and the certainties of the future. Since the last presidential election the boast of our free trade friends that they were going to do away with custom houses, does not seem in a fair way to be realized. Astoria, therefore is con sistent m its belief that the port should have a new custom house, one costing about S&u,"UU: some one of our wealthy citizens will doubtless be glad to donate a site for the struc ture. It is none too soon to begin agi tating this matter. At the risk of having the insurance rates advanced another two or three per cent., The Astorian suggests that a good chemical engine would be a valuable adjunct to the Astoria fire department It could often be used to put out a chimney blaze, and the other engines held in readiness for a second signal if necessary, whereas, it often happens now, that the repairs necessary after a trilling nre foot up more than the damages by the fire it self. Upper Astoria needs a chemical engine about as badly as it needs any thing elsa. A -chemical engine could have saved John Kopp's brewery, and the absence of some such contrivance makes imminent probable loss at any time from fire in upper town. And now that the value of timber land in this county is recognized and it is beginning to bo assessed, it is sug gested that it should be insured. An insurance agency to insure owners of timber laud against destruction or loss by. fire would be something new, but it will arrive, eventually. A sin gular anomaly will arise in this in stancethe better the timber land the less need to insure it: where the gi ants of the forest stand thickly to gether, the sunlight shut out, and no undergrowth, there is little likelihood of fire. So also, in general, through out this region for several mouths in the year, short term policies cover ing July, August and September will probably be the most popular style of timber insurance in the near future. .

Special agent Conrad has received a telegram from secretary Noble sum marily removing him from office, but giving no reason therefor. Mr. Con rad has devoted three years' time to unearthing the gigantic land frauds alleged to have been perpetrated by John A. Benson and many others in collusion with him. Mr. Conrad at tributes his removal to the influence which the backers of Benson have in Washington. It is said these frauds are more gigantic than has ever been dreamed of, involving land worth over $5,000,000. S. F. Bulletin, 12.

This dance, as its name implies, is dreamy to a degree. It is, of course, a round dance, as the waltz still reigns su preme, as it doubtless always will. The movements in this dance are es sentially voluptuous, and with dreamy music the dancers may glide along into soulful bliss to their hearts' con tent. It .starts off with three glides, the last made slowly to a hewitchingly sweet half-measure note from the or chestra. Then there follows a coupe or thrusting forward of the foot and recovering it immediately behind the other foot After that there .is the jete, or delicious little mousy jump with the forward foot, at the same time bringing the other foot to a posi-" tion of rest. This position of resfc. is technically termed the asseniblee. That is all there is to it, and the dreamy dancers go on gliding'.and gliding, now and then giving the sus picion of a delicate little leap, as if the ecstacy were just too ravishing to en dure without some manifestation of the "too utterly utter." The Verdict Uuuuimous. W. D. Suit, Hrugcist Bippus, Ind., testifies: "1 can recommend Electric Bitters as the very best remedy. Every bottle sold has given relief in every case. One man took six bottles, and was cured of Rheumatism of 10 years' standing." Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellville, Ohio, affirms: "The best selling medi cine 1 have ever handled in my 20 vears' experience, is ElectricBitlcrs." Thou sands of others have added their testi mony, so that the verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters do cure diseases of the Liver, Kidneys or Blood. Only a half dollar a bottle at. I. W.
