m Iw gnJtjj giOOTtf. ASTORIA. OREGON: SATURDAY.... .NOVEMBER SO. 18SC. The S. F. Alta is still lying about poor old dead and gone John Roach. Saino old lies, too. The Albany and Astoria railroad has 2,000,000 behind it, and in front of it, and is a sure thing. The mud is a foot deep in the streets of Tacoma. On Astoria's streets, there is no mud in winter, and no dust in sum mer. A Bakes City man has got himself into trouble by marrying two wives. Lots of men have got themselves into trouble by marrying one. The father of Gibbs, the murderer of young McDevitt, is worth $00,000. That settles it. If the old man will put up enough, Gibb3 will never hang. The editor of a Madrid newspaper has been created a marquis by the Queen of Spain. If he was already a knight editor this is only in the line of promotion. A Chicago girl was cured of lheuma tism the other day in n miraculous man ner. When discovered she was standing on the parlor table. A mouse can some times do more than Christian science. In the coming congress, the Pacific coast will have seventeen representatives, with voices and votes. In the last ses sion, thero were but fourteen. The ad ditional three como from the new state of "Washington. On October r.l. 1889, thero were- in ex istence in the United States 3,319 nation al banks, the largest number in opera-, tion since the inauguration of tho system. These associations possess an aggregato capital of 020,174,20.-;. The biggest boro in tho world, has at Inst been located. It is at Schladebach, a small German village, near Liepsic. It is 5,735 feet deep. The man thatcomes in and wants to seo the Bnngtown Bazoo, or the Tipton Toolrr. will now have to tako a back seat. TnK disastrous fires at Lynn and Bos ton, Mass., this week, lecall tho terrible conflagration in Washington last sum mer. The total annihilation of so much property is a serious loss. This has been a terrible year for flood, fires and general disaster in all parts of the country. Some scientifically inclined Port Huron boys fastened one end of a copper wire to an electric light wire and the other end to tho tin cup at tho public drinking fountain. The result was that some shocking drinks were hoisted in that day and the police are now looking for tho boys. Congeessman Wilson, of Washington, is preparing a bill to reduce the laud of fice fees of "Washington, Oregon, Cali fornia and other western stiles fo con form with those further cast. He thinks the fees are altogether loo high and should be reduced and made uniform throughout tho United States. A firm of fish-dealers trading between New York, Berlin and Hambnrg has been experimenting in a new mode of shipping fish. Tho fish are caught in Alaska, frozen and forwarded to Germany via New York, packed in certain liquids. The first lot hos arrived in good con dition. The fish are canned in Germany, thus saving tho duty on canned goods. TELEPHONE EAR. . A New Disease That is Attracting Some Medical Attention. You havo a telephone ear. Yon may not know it, but you havo all tho same. It is the left ear, for it is on record that only a very small percentage of men and women uso tho right ear at the telephone. As a matter of fact, tho telephone has suddenly come into prominence as a medical proposition, and unless the scientists aro mistaken tho bulk of men and women who use the tele phono within a few year may ex pect to find themselves rather hard of hearing in the left ear. This is be cause when using the telephone every muscle and nervo of the ear is strained i o catch the faintest sonnd from tho per son speaking at the other end. An eminent eyo and ear specialist, was asked the other day if he had heard of any cases of deafness from tho tele phone. "It is rather difficult to stato exact ly," he replied. "I have seen where the repeated sound of an instrument or tho iep3tition of any sound has caused deafness. Telegraph operators are in danger of injuring their sense of hear ing. Boiler makers often suffer from deafness. In tho construction of boil ers it is necessary for ono man to be in side the boiler and tho other outside, and the incessant noise caused by tho riveting of tho boiler always causes either deafness or an aucclion of the ear. as to the telephone, it no doubt has the same effect. It is natural and reasonable to sunnose that a nerson listening for a sound, and not knowing tli3 moment when it will come, may injure tho membrane of tho ear, and in time this might affect ihe hearing pDwer." A SERIOUS ELTJiVDER. A Lady Nearly Prostrated by n. Fat eat ModlcLne.

Tho druggist, uothavingit, talked them Into tuiinganother Earsaparilla. As tho leading sarsaparillas uso mineral blood purifiers,-tho effect of tho emptying of I odldo of potash Into a stomach already distressingly delicate was disastrous, almost prostrating her before tho mistake was rectified. She then called upon Mrs. Fowler, of 227 Ellis street, whoso name was among those cured by Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparflla. Mrs. Fowler said itwas true that it had cured "her. Again reassured, tho vegetablo com pound was icnt for and gotten. Tho gentle action of its vegetablo stimulants upon tho liver, kidneys and digestive organs, and its warm stomach tonics, wero tho Tery things needed, and Sho began Improving and wai her old self within a fortnight.

Tho burned district to-day presents a scene of desolation. A portion of the fire department spent the entire night and this forenoon quenching the remnants of the bic blaze. while weary officers are still guarding the ruins. Incoming trains are packed with sight seers. The walls of some of the gutted buildings are in a very dan gerous condition. Gangs of men have already begun tearing away the debris. Nearly all the burned-out merchants have made" arrangements to occupy other stores at once. Among the spectators at the ruins to-day were 500 girls employed in the T. Y.Crowelly book bindery, many of whom aro the main support of fami lies and who have no means of subsis tance. Two more firemen are reported missing. They are believed to be in the ruins or tho Brown and Durrelly build ing. how it was caused. New Yoek, Nov. 29. A Boston dispatch says that yesterday's fire was caused by the crossing of an electric light wire and the wire of the Electrio Time company. All clocks on the Electric Time com pany's line stopped at 0:48, tho wires being burned out at their connections with the clocks, causing incipient blazes at many places, including the city hall. A TBAGIG OCCUEBENCE. Lynn, Mass., Nov. 29. "William F. Sartelle, a performer in a dime museum, last night was performing a trick witn a rifle which he apparently loads with a leaden bullet. At his request some one shoots at him, he appearing to catch the bullet in his mouth. He failed to substitute u paste board bullet, and "William Flanigan, who fired the gun, shot Sartelle dead. MADE A BAD JOB OF IT. Guelth, Ontario, Nov. 29. "Y. H. Har vey, who in March last murdered his wife and two daughters, was hanged this morning. The execution was ono or tne worst pieces of bungling ever witnessed. Tho weight which lifted the body was not heavy enough, and tho scaffold was not high enough to give sufficient re bound to break tue conuemneu mans neck and his struggles and contortions as he slowly strangled to death were frightful. To add to the horrors of tho scene the knot slipped and Ihe gurgling in the man's throat, as his life was being choked out could be heard outside the jail walls. FSOM THE WEBFOOT METBOPOLIS. Pobtland, Or., Nov. 29. This morning a young man employed by the Mount Tabor Motor company, essayed to switch a passenger car on Mount Tabor lieights, but the brakes refused to work and the car got away from him, running down the hill about forty rods, into and through the engine house, knocking two sides of the building out. TnE ".SEnOME." The new steamer Sehomc will doubtless be taken out of tho yard to-morrow after noon, on her trial trip. Such is the pres ent calculation and the programmo will bo carried out unless something unex pected should occur. Captain J. "W. Troup, port master of tho Oregon Hail way and Navigation company, will presido at the wheel, and Reuben Smith, chief engineer for thecom pany, will pull the throttle. The course will be down to the mouth of the river and return. The officials of the company aro highly pleased with tho steamer as sho now appears. Her furnishings are elegant in every respect and her oxterior arrangements and decorations are quite elaborate. The arrangement of her state rooms and general passenger accommo dations is excellent. After her formal acceptance tho next step will be to take her around to the Sound and return home. It has not been decided when tho trip will be made nor is it definitely know who will tako her, but in all prob, ability it will be Captain Geo. Wood the master who became famous in this locality on tho Alaskan when she was wrecked." ,t Woman's IKscovorj "Another wonderful discovery has been made and that too by a lady in this county. Disease fastened its clutch es upon her and for seven years slu withstood its severest tests, but her vi tal organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly and could not sleep. She bought of us a bottle of l)r, King's New Discovery for Consump tion and was so much relieved on talc ing first dose that she slept all night and with one bottle has been miracu lously cured.
