a Slw gaitjj Smm ASTORIA. OREGON: SATURDAY. ....DECEMBER 1. 18S9. Patti, the famous singer, receives .$3,500 every night she sings in the Al bert Hall, London. She is the best naid artist in the world. Her -wealth is estimated at $5,000,000. Few people ever heard of Edward S. Ebbert, eighty-nine, -who died in West Virginia the other day, yet in 1819 he built the first human habita tion on the site of Chicago. Miss Kate Drexei. has given her large fortune to religion, and her sis ter is about to give an equally large fortune to the poor a poor lawyer whom she i3 about to marry. The throne of Honolulu is up for sale, price SSOO.000. One or two turns in Astoria real estate will put most any of us in financial trim to se cure the outfit, if deemed advisable. Astor is worth 200,000,000 and owns property all over New York. His family never sell real estate, but are always buying it. They will not take a type-written deed nor one on paper. It must be written on parch ment. Congress meets to-morrow. For the first time iu fifteen years the Re publican party has both houses of congress and the executive offices. Eeed of Maine will be elected speaker, and so soon as that is done, the house and senate will meet in joint session and hear President Harrison's mes sage. The numerous fatal accidents in the east and the terrible losses by fire occasioned by electric light and telephone lines are potent reminders of the fact that the forces of nature are as powerful for evil as for good, and that death and destruction are dealt ont to those who carelessly handle or accidentally come into con tact with an improperly insulated wire. Superintendent of Census Porter announces that ho expects to have several important reports of the forth coming census ready in the fall and winter of 1890. It will be the eleventh census of the United States. As new features of this census, the languages of children oyer ten years of age, length of time adult males of foreign birth have been in the United States, their extent of. naturalization, and the number of children borne by married women, elicited. Physicians have been requested to furnish certain vital statistics. Maine evidently has a hankering for copious salvation. Notwithstand ing her big spruce forests, it seems that the product of gum was not sufficient for the home demand, as fetatistics show that seven hundred and fifty pounds were during tho past year im ported into that state. The state is now noted for its pretty girls, but she is bound to lose her eminence in this re spect if the gum chewing habit con tinues to grow. If an early and gen eral paralysis of the muscles that are used in the "manipulation of the jaws is not induced, there will certainly re sult a monstrous development of the jaws calculated to much disfigure the beauty of the girls. JonN James Mago is a Guatema lian millionaire, who lives nine months of the year in Paris. Fifteen years ago he was British vice-consul at San Jose, Guatemala, and a poor man. One day a drunken native comand ante ordered him one hundred lashes as a punishment for a fancied insult The British government ordered Guatemala to pay 300 for every lash. The money was paid, and Mago was made a comparatively rich man iu one day. As he had more coin than any one in the country then, President Barrios entered into part nership with him. Mago became one of the largest coffee-planters, and also secured tho exclusive franchise for building docks in the ports. His for tune now i3 estimated at $5,000,000. He who cares to writo on a subject so threadbare as drink will fiud a field of ripe promise iu Washington, says a letter from that city. I was passing one of the most exclusive restaurants in the city, when I ob served three young ladies emerge from the elegant vestibule and enter a pub lic hack that had the curtains partly drawn. All three were very young and very beautiful, women. I knew two one the daughter of a United States Senater: the other nearly re lated, and a ward of a member of the Supremo Court. All were drunk. The;, were not simply tipsy but drmik. One dropped her hat, and the extra exertion required to replace it so ex hausted her that the vigorous assis tance of the Jehu who drove the ram shackle was necessary to place her in side. Two helpless dudes, who tried to start a qnick flirtation with the young women, were promptly snubbed, an action which cast perhap3 one ray of sunlight across their record. Epocli. The transition from long, Jingering and painful sickness to robust health marks an epoch in the lifo 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 gratefullv blessed. Hence it is that so much is heard in praise of Elec tric Bitters. So many feel they owe their restoration to health to the use of the Great Alterative and Tonic If you are troubled with any disease of the Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of long or short standing you will surely find re lief by use of Electric Bitters.

Late yester day afternoon the case of Dr. W. F. Morand, tried for manslaughter in the criminal court, was given to the jury. After standing ten for conviction and two for acquittal tho jury came into the criminal court before noon with a verdict of "guilty as charged in the indictment" Dr. Morand evidenced no sign of surprise and accepted the inevitable philosophically. Judge Stearns remanded him to the custody of the sheriff without fixing bail. Frank Keid committed suicide at the Onimbv House, bv shooting him self through the heart with a 38-caliber revolver. In his pockets was found but thirty cents. On the table beside him lay a note which read as follews: ''This is to certify that I have nei ther relatives nor friends that care for me, or me for them. The cause of this act i3 my business. Frank Beid. P. S. Of course this name is ficti tious." REED THE SPEAKER. Washington, Nov. 30. At noon the Bepublican caucus was called to or der. Henderson, or Illinois, chair man. Bell call developed the pres ence of 165 members, four less than the entire Bepublican strength in the house. The first business was the adoption of a new resolution, that balloting for the speakership be opened. On the first ballot Eeed re ceived 78, McKinley 35, Cannon 22, Burrows 10 and Henderson 1G. On the second ballot Beed received 8G, votes, thus receiving nomination. The second ballot was Beed 86, McKinley 36. Cannon, 19. Burrows 15 and Henderson 9. So Beed was declared to have received a caucus nomination voting down a motion to tako a recess until evening. The caucus immediat ely proceeded to select a nominee for clerk and various candidates were presented iu short speeches. The result of the first bal lot was the election of McPhereon of Pennsylvania who received 116 to 50 for Carson of Pennsylvania. H. J. Holmes ex-representative from Iowa and F. N. Beed of Minnesota were candidates for the position of sergent at arms. Holmes was selected. DR. DAKRI.VS EW OFFICK. The Doctors Will Mote From 2.15 Fifth Street to the New Washington IJnHd Ins December First. Owing to the iucreased patronage Dr. Darrin has received during his soujourn in Portland the past three years, he has been compelled to en large his quarters, and has secured four elegant rooms in the new Wash ington building, corner of fonrtli and "Washington streets. The building has an elevator thus obviating the ne cessity of walking up stairs to the second floor where the Doctor's offices are located. The elevator boy will direct any one asking for Dr. Damn's office. Separate reception rooms for ladies and gentlemen, or any desiring private consultation. Kemember the change, that after December first the offices will be at the Washington Block, until then at 235 Fifth street Patients coming to the Doctor, will do well to come direct to the office be fore locating themselves, as it is neces sary in many cases to have them near the office. Patients will guard against, being influenced by any one directing them to other doctors. As a further proof of the Doctor's ability to cure people by electricity, we mention the following names: Ex-Sheriff A. T. Schoep's daughter, proprietor Northwestern hotel, corner Front and Clay streets, Portland, I033 of appetite, liver complaint aud rheumatic neuralgia for six months, cured. Wm. M. Colwell, Skamokawa. Wash., sciatic rheumatism and liver complaint, restored to health; also his brother, Geo. L. Colwell, Skamokawa, Wash., was cured of a numbness of the arm. Mrs. E. Ahlf, 160 North Fourteenth street, Portland, cured after nine doc tors had failed, of painful menstrua tion and womb trouble in every con ceivable way, general debility, pain through the'heart and lungs. Charles Christerman, Portland, Or egon, scrofulous catarrh, so bad that destruction of the nose was threat ened, and had become so offensive that it was sickening both to himself and his friends, cured in two months. C. McLaughlin,Portland Catarrhal deafness, could scarcely hear a sound or the car bells and was in constant fear of being run over by wagons, cured so he can hear ordinary conver sation. Levi Bartmes, Staytou, Or., heart disease, dyspepsia pain through the heart and lungSj and general nervotts debility, many tunes he would fall as though dead, when everything seemed to turn black before his eyes; success fully treated. D. Campbell, Fulton, Or., says he would not take 10,000 for the cure he he received by Dr. Darrin. His trouble originated by three small lumps or tumors coming on the arm, which rendered his arm and hand per fectly helpless for one year. NEW TO-DAY. Splendid Buy I Lots 5 and 6,75x150 cr.ch SE Cor.

Catarrh Cs a constitutional and not a local disease tnd therefore It cannot bo cured by local ap plications. It requires a constitutional rem edy like Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, working through the blood, eradicates the lmpurltj which causes and promotes the disease, and Catarrh eflects a permanent cure.
