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. We
ar a in doubt whether misspelling Diodoroos
ia a greater or lew mistake than capitalising
such common nouns as "generals" snd
"historian," and "orators," and "poet.
we were also "caused to smile" to see
the word "epithet" written with a cap
ital. This is grammar "with a ven
geance," and we will be pardoned we hope
for Inquiring If the "children ot 13 years

the English Grammar aa with Ancient
History. We ware somewhat astoniahed
to read "He throws slurs at tbe "E"ditor

top of the comma and read "Anna English
Editress." Being the problem eorreepond-

up. One more whim and we will stop whis-

Th Da am a. Local talent of thi
city will produce the drama "Among
the Breakers" next Monday evening
at the opera bouse for the benefit of
the Episcopal church to be built i
this city. 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. Tbey aay: "We have no
hesitation in recommending Chamber
lain s Cough Kemedy to onr custom
ers, as it is the best cough medicine
we have ever sold, and alwaya givea
sstisf action." For sale at 25 and 60
cent per bottle by Dr. E. Roes.
Not a few, who read what Mr. Robert
Bowls, of Holland, Va baa to aay be
low, will remember tbeir own exper
