Our city was thrown into quite a state of ex citement Monday afternoon by the dis covery of a dead man in one of the wator uloteta at the eohooliiouse. Borne children were playing near by, and noticed a foot sticking out the closet door. The fact was made known and n Investigation revealud the fact that n unknown man was lying dead in aide the closet.

Noth ing waa found on the person of the dead man by which a clue to bit iden tity might be had. The remains were buried in Odd Fellows' cemetery Tues day. : ; . Asothbb Myiteiy. Last Tueaday Coroner McLaren, of Rainier, received letter from Mr. 0. W.Avery, of Port land, informing him that partiee at work on the Abraham A Knox farm on Sauvies inland had found the body of a human, that it part of the body. The men were at work slashing brush, nd came to mysterious looking box, which they at onoe opened, and were horrified jto find its contents to be the remains of a human. The matter was at once reiorted to the officials in Multnomah county, and Mr. Avery took it upon himself to notify the cor oner here. Whether the box with its contents were dnposited there by the perpetratora of some awful crime, or whether it drifted there during a high water, ia not known. An investiga tion may develop the facta. To Have Oppositioh. It is reported in steamboat circles that the Iralda will soon have opposition on her route between Portland and Rainier.

The Lewis River Transportation Company have the plana and specifications for a light draught tteamer, for the Lewis river. It will be 125 feet in length, and will draw from eight to ten inches of water. This it what the company has needed for years, and with such a steamer they will be able to run to Woodland and La Center at any season of the year. It will also enable the settlers on the upper river to get their pro duoe to market any time they may de sire to do to, which meant that the mount of produce raised in that locality will be greatly increased. , Positive It Is Fare.

It is, or should be, the highest aim of eyery merchant to please his cus tomers; ana tbat the wide-awake drug firm of Meyers A Eshleman, Sterling, 111., is doing so, is proven by the fol lowing from Mr. Eshleman: "In my sixteen years' experience in the drug business I have never seen or sold or tried a medicine that gave as good sat isfaction as Chamberlain's Colic, Chol era and Diarrhoea Remedy. Sold by Dr. Edwin Ross. An Ohio editor says that bay fever is caused by kissing grasswidows. A Missouri editor says it is caused by a grasswidow kissing a cow by moon light. An Iowa editor says it is caused by a fellow kissing the hired girl while she is feeding bay to a cow, and a Kan sas exchange is of tbe opinion tbat it is caused by missing the girl and kiss ing the cow. The Walla Walla States man thinks it is caused by the hired man kissing the farmer's wife ib tbe barn. The East Oregoniau sayt it comet from too close a study of the Scripture : "All flesh is grass." Oregon dried prunes are now selling in the East at ten cents per pound. The Webfoot grower gets three and four cents per pound for them, it costs a cent a pound to ship them, and the Eastern price less the freight and Oregon price leaves a margin of six cents. Who gets this profit of six cents on every pound of Oregon dried prunes? Mr. Desoh says the middle man does, and it shows the crying need there is for Eastern consumer and the Oregon producer to cultivate a oloser acquaintance. Reporter. There are eight classes of people who do a town harm. Firat, those who go nut of town to do their trading; seo ond those who oppose improvements; third, thos who prefer a quiet town to one of push and business; fourth, those who think business can be done slyly and without advertising; fifth, those who deride public spirited men ; sixth, those who oppose any publio enter prise that does appear to benefit them ; seventh, those who appose everything that doea not originate with them selves, and those who seek to injure the credit of an individual. - Some one hat remarked that we live in a grand country. We do, we live in a land of high mountains and high taxes; big crooked rivers and big crooked statesman ; big lakes, big pumpkins, big men with pumpkin heads; silver streams that gambol in tbe mountains and pious politicians tbat gamble in the night; roaring cat aracts and roaring orators; fast trains, fast horses, fast young men, and girls fait, faster, fastest; sharpers, aharp lawyers, sharp financiers, sharp-toed shoes; noisy children, fertile plains tbat lie like a sheet of water, aud thousands of newspapers that lie like thunder. Silver Soliciting Mr. Towne cornea to Oregon at an inopportune time to ac oomplish much for his waning "oause." Silver has gone down, wheat up, con trary to all tbe silverites' theories and predictions; our farmers are reason ably prosperous and contented; busi ness is brink, and in some lines boom ing; the earth ia yielding more gold than it bas for nearly half a century ; and more than all, the country is pre paring for a possible if not a probable war. and doesn't care to hear much about free ailver at 16 to 1. Mr. Towne would succeed better if be would turn himself into a rip-snorting evangelist; then he would be more sure of crowds and contributions. Welcome. To run a newspaper without occa- sionally publishing an article that is j inexact or giving offense is like run ning a railroad without having acci dents or amashnps. It can't be done. No man on eaith is so. much imposed upon as the editor of a country newt paper. Pushed with work continually he must rely upon seooud and third parties for information as to the events that transpire. Frequently statements are received from reliable persons, but which are subsequently discovered to be without foundation. If therefore you find yourself ngrloved by tome statement in your home paper, keep the fact in your mind.- Do not fly off the handle, but go to tho editor and ask for a correction, and take our word tor it, nine catet out of U a, if your case oarriet merit with it, you will be received politely, and the correction nude with pleasure.

Fibhino Situatioh. - The fiahing situation for the coming season is gradually developing, so tbat some idea of what will happen can be proph esied. Aa a rule everyone connected witb the fishing business is tongue tied, and when one of them begins to talk, all want to get into the band wagon. Tbe authorized interview of Mr. Elmore in this paper tbat be would pay 4 cents for raw fib, and in doing ia he was acting independent of other canners, is a starter. Mr. George states tbat their canneries will pay as much or more than any other cannery. Sofua Jensen, of the Fishermens' Co operative cannery, states be will do the same, but does not expect to get Huh under five cents. Mr. Cbutter, of Booth's, laid that while he bad not yet decided what he would do, and that fonr cents was too much, he would be compelled to pay the current price. Several fishermen state that Cook and Warren have men out trying to find fiuliermen, and promising to pay a lit tle more than anyone else. The fish ermen will hold no meeting this year to decide upon tbe price of fish.agtbey believe they can do better without set ting any price, as fishermen and fish will be in demand this year. Astoria Budget. Broke His Leo. John L. Brown, working in a brickyard at Clatskanie, met with a severe and painful acci dent Wednesday.
