There is not a man in the Repub

He is a people's man. He is a

successful fighter. If you are not

lette just get some of the literature
that is being circulated aud read it
carefully. It will pay you. It

Thorndyke, the evanescent, rem-
inisceut, convalescent editor of the
Astoria Leader was in this city
this week touching hands with his
many old friends. It is the same
old Thorn. The only change we
can notice is the absence of that
diamond ring, aud bis eloquent
now of language is a little more
lurid when conversing about it.
Thorn is getting out a bright sheet,
such as one would expect from
him and is making good in the
windy city by the sea. It is good
to see bim for there is a laugh to
every inch of his six feet of per
pendiculanty.
Mrs. G. Ward of 609 Ndrth Fill

from a bad fire Monday of this
week. She aud her sou were
sleeping in rooms adjoining the
living room and were awakened,
in some way, when they smelted
smoke and opening the door to the
other room found it full of flames
and smoke. A little strenuous
work extinguished the fire. It
was thought that the lamp had
exploded and it was perhaps the
report 01 the explosion wnicli
awakeued the sleepers. It was a
narrow escape, for had they not
awakened about the time they did
they might have beeu overcome
with the smoke and perished in
tne burning building.

It is gratifying to note the very

would resume business again in n
