Ths editress of tbs " Whirser eeeme quite anxious to know whether "he' or "ehe" woald best expreee the gender of the writer, but never mind Miss Ediiresa we'll not define our gender at present.

Those psrticipating in tbe performance are sparing no mesne to make it a arrand success, and if the public dies its share a satisfactory sum of money will be raised. The pint of tbe play ie laid on the coast of Oregon, and the cbsractera are rustic and nautical. The drama, winch ie two act one, is of modern life, full of mirth. David Murray, tbe light keep er, and Mother Carey, the mysterious old woman, will excite more then one curious desire for information. Tbe storm scenes will be good, and tbe out come uf the plot will command the warmest sympathy. ' Uhablb to Aobcb The following is taken from the Astoria Budget, and it seems we msy look for another fiab armeu a strike this year. It says "From present appt-arancea tbe Co lumbia river will see another fishing strike equal to that of last year with both ranuerymen and fibernien more determined to maintain tbe position wbioh last yesr resulted in a compro mise, through the assistance of tbe militia of two states. The association of all cannery interests on tbe Colum bia ha been iu session here for several days under the direction of C. 8. Nor ris, of Chicago, representing tbe Booth Pscking Company. Today a formal offer was made the Fishermeu's Union to psy four cents per pound during the coming season. It is tbe same offer made last year, two days before tbe season opened. Its refusal caused a strike. Tbe fishermen demand five cent, tbe price paid tbe year previous At a meeting tonight of tbe Funer men's union, me lour cent price waa discussed, aad finally action was sub pended until next meeting when a de cision will be reached, undoubtedly unfavorable, aa cannery agenta have been amonfr the fishormen with offers of four and one-hulf cents. A majority of tbe trapmen have already made contracts at four cents with the ean nervmen, but this does not weaken tbe fishermen, aa they know tbeir neces sity to the cannerymen, and if they can make the same stand aa laat year tbey will secure sufficient to repsy tbem for last year's losses. The fish ermen here so far have made no pre paration of gear for tbe season for the first time in many years. Many fish ermen who left this section during tbe strike last year will not return. An effort will be made to keep outside fishermen away in future, and if done it will make the local fishing situation of simple solution. Many merchants are well aware that tbeir customers are their best friends and take pleasure in supplying them with tbe best goods obtainable. As an instance we mention Perry t Cam eron, prominent druggists of Flushing, Miohigan.

I tried num erous remedies, none of which did me any good, nntil I waa induced to try a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy.
