" At the meeting of the Wash, board of pilot commissioners last Saturday the board had no applications and granted no brauches. deeming the pilots now holding Wash, branches are sufficient for all probable demands. The board made its report to the gov ernor and adjourned. A stray steer on the N. P. railroad track near Hunter's last Sunday morning ditched -the train from Ta coma to Portland.

The latest swindle on charitable Astorians is a bilk who answered to the name of Chas. Trenlow, when softly spoken. Last week, on the strength of an alleged membership in the I. O. O. F., he got 35 from one mem ber, 32 from another:a ticket to Port land from a third, eta During his sojourn here he blew in his substance in Paradise Lost, and claimed to be unfortunate.

The idea is worth elaboration and practical endorsement. Elsewhere is advertised one of the best business chances that has fallen under the writer's observation for some time. The mill wa3 formerly owned by Hon. J. H. D. Gray. The line of the railroad runs one hundred yards from the mill, which stands in the midst of fine timber.

The Portland trust hesitated to fill an order to that extent, as it would de prive Portland builders of seasonable material to carry out their purposes; and the trust decided to hold for Port land uses all required brick expected to ue put jn. construction this season, for which the price should be one dol lar less per thousand than wqre of fered by Seattle.

Ben Holladay was fertile in resourc es when it behooved him to hgve cash, and many were the subterfuges resorted to by him for purposes of wind raising. The story of how he asked Sol. Abrahams, of Bosebnrg, to a dinner consisting of sorambled eggs, tea and bread and butter, and then with tears in his eyes, on account of his apparent poverty, tapped him for 3300, subsequently having his regular fine dinner served, is a "chestnut," but it is not generally known that when the oolleotor called with a bier bill -from the Western Union Tele graph Company, (for Ben having once been dead-headed by that corporation, couldn't get over his extravagant prac tice of sending all his letters by elec tricity;, ne sent tor uuaney ueiue, and asked him to go out and see if he could raise S250 for him on his famous 32,500 emerald, worn as a ring, with which to square the account Oehle returned with the bauble and found Ben by no means in the depths of de spair, as he was when he left him, for now unembarrassed by the presence of the dun, and fortified with a little stimulant and a three-for-a-dollar cig ar, he had the audacity to say, "Never mind the money, Oehle, but rive me the ring. 1 couldn't think of goin uacK to v asmngton wituout mat gem on my finger." NO "SPIRITUALISM" ABOUT IT. Jnst a Clear Effort of Memorizing. At the opera house last Saturday night Miss Howard, assisted by Prof. Williams, gave an exhibition to a hundred dollar audience. Miss Howard and her confederate, while not absolutely layiug claim to the possession of the power of second sight, nuud reading, mental telegraphy or spiritualism, yet did not disavow it and left the impression with the audi ence that they were really gifted with those powersif the audience chose to look at it in that light The second sight trick as practiced by Miss Howard is a fake or humbug. Her only performance worthy of men tion was the examnle of spnnnrl niolif The lady was placed on the stage, oiinutoiaea, in mil view of the audi ence, aud her confederate went through the audience, asking the name, color, etc., of a hundred differ ent articles in rapid succession, every one of which, save in one or two in stances, were answered promptly and correctly oy iuiss Howard from the stape. Manv spiritualists wpw in fh hall, and from their looks it could be guesseu iuul muy cousiuereu tne per formance as having connection with the sunernatural. A mimbpr of thf incredulous cried "ventriloquism" and "electricity. une young, man who nrodnced an article which was norrpnf - ly named, handed it to his companion iriflt "T")rm'f. vnn fool flin. olonf -iif Jn ...VU, J.. W TW.. .WWX IUU WkUllllll iu It?" The true secret of the "clairvoy ant's" tricks lie in the wav tlm ntipq. tions are put by the confederate, and he was the individual, not Miss How ard, who was resnonsible for the frrp.it est portion of the mystification. now rr is DOXE. The twenty-six letters of the alpha bet are used in determining the proper answers, so also i3 the position or number of each letter in the alpha bet For instance, if the letter M is thought of, the number 13, being the thirteenth letter in the alphabet, comes to mind. The performer must memo rize these numbers. After this, twenty six verbs or phrases are memorized, each one corresponding to a certain letter of the alphabet, and also to its number. The list of verb3 usually are the follewing: Come, rere3ents A and 1 Look, represents B and 2 Harry up, tell me, represents. . .C and a Make haste, tell us, represents. .D and 4 Well, represents E and 5 Please, represents F and G Say, represents G and 7 Answer, call, represents H and 8 Now, represents land 9 Lot me know, represents J and 10 Can you see, represents K and 11 Try, represents L and 12 Right away, represents M and 13 Do you know, represents N and 14 Goon, represents O and 15 Let us hear, represents P and 17 See, represents 11 and 18 Look sharp,, represents S and 19 .uet us Know, represents T ami 20 Quick, represents U and 21 Will you look, represents V and 22 Do you see, represents W and 23 Be smart, represents X and 24 I'd like to know, represents Y and 25 What is it, represents Z and 20 There, represents the cipher 0 i want to know, represents -100 About a dozen watches were pro duced, aud of course all the answers were correct. Now, to get Miss How ard to understand, he must spell out the word "watch" with his arbitrary alphabet He starts, with the letter W. In the list W represents "Do you see," A represents "Come," T repre sents "Let as know," C represents "Hurry up, aud H represents "An swer." The confederate now asks the questions and he will add a few other words to fill out his sentences, and which have no other significance. Here is the question spelled eut: Do you see (W) what this is? Come (A) let us know (T). Hurrv (C). An swer (H). The word "watch" is spelled out as cleverly as a schoolboy coidd do it After this question was asked the man asked Miss Howard to tell the time of day. She answered, "a quar ter to ten." His question was, "Now tell us the time. Well?" The word "now" in our list stands for 9. "Tell us" stands for 4, and the wards, "the time," have no significance with the list, but "well" stands for 5 in our list, and so ho spelled out 9:45 o'clock, which is the same as "a quarter to' ten," for answer. Those who were there remember how many times Miss Howard used the word "coin." The man would ask the questien: Tell me what this is. Go on, uow. Do you know? That question in our list spells the word "cojn," "Tell me (C), what this is. Go on (O), now (I)., Do you know (N)?"-COIN. If it happened to be a silver dollar, he would ask: "Come what is it worth?' the word "worth" in their list meaning dollar. If it was a cop per cent piece the word "value" would be used, meaning "one cent" The above is only half the triok. In order to be able to tell each and every article whioh may be brought out, the two confederates memorize a long list of probable articles, alphabetically arranged and three articles in each set This list can be run up into the hundreds. Each article in eaoh set, and each set in the list have a corre sponding number, which both confed erates must remember. Kpocli. 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 meinorv and the acencv whereby the good health has been at tained is grateumy blessed. Hence it is that so much is heard in praise of Elec tric Bitters. So many reel thev owe their restoration to health to the. use of the Great Alterative and Tonic. If vou are troubled with any disease of the Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of long or short standingyou will surely findre lief by use of Electric Bitters. Sold at CO c, and 31 per bottle at J,. AY.

You may doubt it, but in course of time you will ap prove the popular verdict by going yourself where the commercial tide sweeps the trade to; you may trade else where because habit makes it natural; you may dismiss this from your mind because, well, perhaps, because you don't think it worthwhile to remember it: but in course of time the cold truth will force itselt upon you, that while you sweat and save in one way, you are extrava gant in another, and as soon as you realize this fact you will turn a new leaf and in vestigate before you spend your coin, and that is all I ask of you. Investigate ! ! Give me a chance to prove to youthat you can get fresh er goods where goods are sold quick, and that you can buy goods 'cheaper where the enormous quantities sold justify a comparatively small profit and consequent ly low prices.
