Five men aooidently went over the falls at Oregon City Tuesday in a rowboat, and four of then, were drowned. The parties were employed in the paper mills on the wett tide of the river, and war oa their way to work. There was a heavy fog banging over the river at Ahe time, which was the eaute of the party losing their bearings, and it was but a few moments until they were on the brink of the fall. Oaeof the party, Harry Freeman, olung to the boat and aa rescued, while tha bodies of those drowned are yet in the river. Two of Ihe unforlmiatss were beads of fam ilies, and their lives ware covered by insurants. A PtlAlAHT Evamso.

Back From Iixikoi. Mr. Henry XI. Doan and family arrived in Rainier last Monday night from Sandwich, 111., where I hey went from this county nearly four years ago. Mr. Doan was in this city Wednesday aud to a Mist reporter said : "Oregon is pretty good, and I am back for the purpose for lo cating here again." Mr. Doan waa as sessor of this county several years ago, and has a liott of friends, all of whom trill be pleased to know that such a good oilisen is again to become a per manent realdent of our county. It may seem strange, but it is neverthe ' less the case, that people who once lived in Oregon, after a brief residence elsewhere, become dissatisfied, and it it then only a matter of time until they drift back to Webfoot. Am Old Cannon. Mailosrrier Luoe, who carries the mail between Nehalem and Cannon Beach, whils on his regu lar route yesterday saw a funny sub stance in the creek on Cannon Beach in front of Mrs. Austin's bouse. It did not look like a rock, and upon investi gation he found one of the old brass cannon embeddod in the creek from which Cannon Beaoh derives its name. Hothing much is known how they got there. The late John Ilobson and M. Eberman both taw the cannon in the creek emit eften when on their way to Tillamook buying cattle. The late J. r. Austin spent considerable money In trying to locate the cannon, but never waa successful. Old-timsrs say they came off the britr-of war Shark Although they have been imbedded there some flity years tbey are still In pretty good shape. Astorian. . Call a Mirrmro. The preposition of a creamery being located at St. Helena has allotted some interest among influential farmers, aad such is shaping for a satisfactory termination. A number of our best oitiiens have signified Ibeir interest in the matter by stating what can be ezpeoted of them, and we believe it will not be OTer-estlmating when we state that the product of 500 cows can be secured tor a creamery here. Tbta number would gradually increase, of courso, and after a creamery had become an established faot in our midat, the pro duot of 1000 cows could be secured, we firmly believe. Now, while some Interest in this matter is manifest, a meeting to determine the matter defin itely and properly might be called by some oilisen, and then hopes for suo cess might bs entertained. Will some . publio-spiritsd, enterprising citlsen as sume the retpontibility of going ahead with this proposition and call a meet ing of our citizens that, as a commun ity, we may consider its merits? A Child Drownbd.-An accident that brought sorrow and gloom to the Lome of a happy family occurred about nnnn laat Monday? on MnNnlty creek. when Harry, the 8-year-old son of Mr, and Mrs. 1. u. wmsirom, was drowned in the creek near their home. It is the supposition that the little fel low had attempted to cross the creek on a footplank, when he fell overboard and was carried several hundred feet down the stream. The father, only a ahnrt flmai HalnrA Viarl narried tha boy , from the oreek to the house, and being kmt Anl ahntit his wnrk airain. Tha mother misted the child but was as sured that he was with his fullier, but when that parent went to tha bouse at dinner time it was then learned thst tUm kn evaa mlnainor . Ftearnh Wat at wj -- - onoa instituted with the result of find ing him lodged in a large diift about aquaiterofa mile below the house. He was a bright and promising ohild and favorite with the entire family. The funeral services were held at the family residence on Tuetday at S o'olock and the remains laid to rest in Odd Fellows' cemetery in the presenoe of a large concourse of sympathizing friends.

Five carloads were sent a few days before. - The horses were bought from the Umatilla Indians, wbo are paid f ii per neaa. Undoubtedly Astoria will do herself the greatest honor yet attained in her entertainment ol tho delegates to tbe state convention and those wbo usually attend such meetings. The choice of Astoria as a convention city was a wise move on the part of the committee, for many reasons. The management of the Astoria railroad are straining every effort to have Ihe road completed in time to carry tha delegates to tbe state con vention at Astoria on April 14. it has been stated that the company will give an excursion at that lime, and all del egates to the convention will be car ried gratis. Mr. L. L. Decker took charge of the Oriental hotel in this oity last Mon day and in future will conduct it. Mr. Decker enjoys a wide acquaintance throughout the county, and with a practical idea of business he, no doubt, will enjoy a splendid patronage. The hotel is undergoing a thorough reno vating, and will be run in a strictly first-class style. A few months ago Mr. Byron Every, of Woodstock, Mich., was badly atniot ed with rheumatism. Hie right leg waa swollen the full length, causing him great suffering. He was advised to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm.

For many years it has enjoyed the pres ence of thousands of people Irom the faot of au conventions meeting there but Astoria is developing into a dan gerous rival in that line. The next meeting of the State League of llepub- lican Clubs will be held at Astoria, the noxt republican convention, the too end district congressional convention, which heretofore Portland has had ss a kind of right of oonquest. Astoria, no doubt, will entertain her visitors i a creditable manner. Local Knights of Pythias should nut lose sight of tbe fact that Saturday, ITehruary 19, is the date of the grand celebration In Portland. It is desired by tho managing committee that the members of all lodges which have re ceived invitations to participate, report to their O. O. and then to the com mittee. . Tbe occasion is tbe celebra tion of the anniversary of the order, and a glorious time Is promised all wbo attend.

In another column will be seen the proceedings of the organization of the republican club at Warren. Formerly tbe club at that place had a large membership and those whose names appeared upon Its roster were enthu siasts in tha caute, Tbe work of plac ing the club again ution tbe sound sod substantial footing it once enjoyed is beins prosecuted with much vigor, and soon Warren club will stand as one of the best snd strongest In the county. The good influences of that club are felt in each campaign, and no doubt its membership will strive to nave it wield tbe power tt risutly deserves. Mr. Wsld L. Smith, of Fredoricks- town, Mo., was troubled with chronic diarrhoea for over thirty years. He bad become fully satisfied that it was a question of only short time until be weuld hsve to give up.

I have given Chamberlain's Cough Remedy a fair test and consider it one of tbe very best remedies for croup that I have ever found. One dose bas always been sufficient, although I nse it freely. Any cold my children con tract yields very readily to this medi cine. I can conscientiously recom mend it for croup and colds in chil dren. Geo. E.
