Mohr stock of dry goods in the Occidental block. The goods are selling rapidly. A large crowd visited tha bay last Sunday from the valley, taking ad vantage of the low excursion rates of ..fered by the Oregon Pacific. 'Straw is ohea;v sinew threshing he sm and Miller, the merchant, is offer ing what he has in the form of hats at ilrat-cost prices. To pi ke them is to buy. Owing to the stringency of the money market, perhaps, the Oregon Pacific has made a temporary reduction of ten per cent, in the salaries of em ployes. J. Win.

Do not be influenced by circulars advertising cheap, old style bicycles. Any agency can furnish those at very low rates; but if you want a wheel, go to Conover & Keady and purchase one that will give you satisfaction. They can give you great bargains in the best bicycles manufactured. A number of tourist printers were in the city this week. Some of them ap pear to be affected by the stringency of the money market, as they confess to slight financial embarrasment. One joung man from Eastern Oregon ad mitted having paid railroad fare, and, of course, in consequence, was coldly received by the craft. The East Oregonian says Deputy .Sheriff Hailey was in Salem Sunday and had the pleasure of a merry chat with Capt. Humprey, who is getting well as fast as a man can. He is al most fully restored to mental health and laughs and jokes with his old time cheerfulness. His limb is nearly healed, the amput ition being regarded by asylum physicians as extremely Tvell erforiued. The annual conference of the Meth odist church, for the district of Oregon. will convene in Albany 011 Wednes day, August 23d, and continue for one week. It is estimated that there will lie about one hundred and fifty visiting ministers and the church will endeavor to entertain them in a be coming style. The other churches have volunteered some assistance, on " riiis occasion, 10 ' accommodate the large number. Lu Porter and Miss Lillie Cain, of M nroe, with the assistance of parents and others, were married the first of the week muler romantic circumstances. 'Fhe- couple are under age and parents objected to the union, but they suc cessfully schemed to obtain a license in Lnn county and stole away to Har aisburj; and were married. A number of arrebts followed, but all interested parties finally became reconciled to the conditions.

Editor" Gazette: As the season advances it becomes more and more evident that Newport is becoming the most desirable seaside resort alon; the North Pacific coast. The simple fact. thr.t a few hours ride by rail and iifteen '.r.inutes larger by boa: brings owj from th dusty, heated air of the valley cities and tow ns, to this metrop olis of the shorclaml, is a drawing card of great power. So it is no won der that the train and boat of each day are well loaded with health and pleasure seekers. It is quite probable that the tremendous money stringency has affected other seaside resorts far more proportionately than Newport, and that is easily explained because here it is that a person can get the most of health and the most of pleas ure for the hast money. Bfsides the scenery here excels in attractions. Nut only a beach of surpassing beauty, but on this beach are pebbles of priceless value. Hundreds of the wondrous water agates have been al ready picked up this season. Then the rocks that skirt this coast uncov ered at low tide are filled with the delicate and delicious rock oyster while from these same- rocks one can fish with pole and line and catch the deep sea fish that come and go with the tide. Thus the natural advantages for a seaside here are unsurpassed, All kinds of recreations, religious, semi-religious and secular are furnished in abundance. The opera house is often opened for social dances and parties of various kinds are held nightly. Bonfires on the beach are quite common and in the "learnings of the flames may be seen the glistening spoons just out of the factory. The largest invoice of "original packages," so to speak, this week has been from Salem. We were unable to get the names and so must omit their mention. Of course the Sunday excursion brought in many from the cities of Albany and Corvallis. Merchants lawyers, physicians and business men with their ladies filled the cars, and it is said here that one or two clergymen a few deacons and now and then a Presbyteriin elder got aboard, it being with them certainly a work: ot neces sity. Some of them having families over here and others looking after some one to get into their family, The excursion extended over the bar and not a few played the role of the the fish in casting up Jonah. It was a very sickly time for a while, but all recovered and got safely to land. There came to the town sever .d days ago a sort of cow-boy looking set with a few poorly trained dogs. After a few nights in camp they gave a dog show on the streets which furnished a little amusement at the time. Our resident dogs have been so ashamed ever since that we have had no more dog fights. The robbery in a few tents and cot tages the other night has caused some alarm and everybody is locking his tent and tying up his cottage. There is such an amount of money deposited in these places that things would im mediately suspend if any more rob beries occur. "Lover's Leap" has become quite a prominent point. It is near Jump Off Joe, and is visited by many a burdened soul. The Devil's Caldron is not patronized much this season. By mistake a few have been there, and in one instance a young lady had her photograph taken in the act of lump ing into the awful abyss. The .bathing continues with un robed interest, and it is often that 75 men and women, boys and girls are seen splashing, dashing and crawling and sprawling, tumbling and jumping in the salt sea at Nye- Creek. Some fellow with a kodak got a fine snap ou the scene the other day. A few foggy days and then some sunny ones have been granted by the weather regulator. On the whole the week has been very pleasant and in many respects delightful. Yesterday sitting at our cottage window near the sea we were reminded a little as out imagination pictures the scene as to whit congress just now resembles. The broad sea, troubled and tossed, with bre iking billows, looked at times crested with silver, but high in the dear heavens above was riding in su The only Pure Cream of Tartar Used Millions of Hoines preme and magnificent glory the golden sun, shining steady but surely on the silver billows, and as the day declined the waves, are slilled, the-silver foam has gone, while methinks the setting sun from his chambers of gold in the west speaks in eloquence unheard by mortals but sublime far move than ever echoed in the h ills of state, -Gold, Goid.'' FATAL ACCIDENT. For a few days an aged gentleman named Wm, Madley had been c-ireped near the Marvs river in this cily. At about 12 o'clock Saturday night other campers in the vicinity heard a cry and went in the direction whence it came. They found that Madley was missing and discovered evidences that he had fallen into the river and was drowned. Officer McLagau and others were noti fied and a search was inaugurated but without' success during the night. Early Sunday morning Mr. A. Kyle discovered the body of the old man in an upright position some distance from shore, the water barely covering his head. After being removed an inquest was held over the remains and a ver dict rendered to the effect that Madley was accidentally drowned. The report that his' neck was broken proved to be unfounded. It is supposed that Mad ley arose in the night tor some purpose and fell over the high bank near which he was sleeping. He had lived in the Willamette valley a number of years, was an old soldier, and drew a pension. He was without means and was buried in the Masonic cemetery at the expense of the county. , Wednesday soon after noon the fire alarm sounded in response to the ci v of "l'ire" in the northern part of the city. Grandma Quivey's woodshed had caught fire from sparks of an en- oinfl which had been saWlllff wood in o the vicinity. The fire was soon extin guished and there was slight damage About midnight of the same day the woodshed of Peter Sierolf was seen to be on fire, caused, it is supposed, by the same agency. This blaze was ex tinguished without turning in a general ahrm. The engine from which these fires are supposed to have started had been run, it is said, without a spark arrester. F. M. Johnson, A. F. Hirshner and E. W. Hadley, school directors of this district, met at the bay on Saturday last and filled vacancies in the corps of teachers. Those who will conduct the school the coming year are: principal, S. I.

On Sunday next a 75 yard foot-race will take place at Gervais between Ellsworth Cameron and Wm. Ray, both of Corvallis. A 75-yard foot race has also been arranged between Charley Young, of this city, and Charley Braithwait, of Independence, to be run ou tha race track at Salem on the second day of the fan-, Sep tember 12th. The race was made for a $200 purse. J. R. Sciafford has just completed a handsome monument to be placed in memory of Ollie Kiger. It is of the best Vermont marble throughout in cluding the base, and is of the tablet style. The inscription is well executed and the ornamentation very attractive. The 11-year-old son of D. S. Davis, who resides a few miles across the river, was thrown from a horse Wednes day evening, resulting in a fracture of the right arm at the elbow. Dr. Farra went over and rendered the little fel low what assistance he required. R. Koldeway, of this city, has been appointed administrator of the estate of Wm. Madley, who was drowned in Mary's river Saturday night. De ceased has two sons in Salem and a daughter in Washington. S. N. Wilkins u offering goods at cost for a few days only for spot cash.

A newspaper may boom a town through its editorial and news columns, but the crit ical investor looks to the advertising, col umns for substantial evidence of push and life. To him they are a thermometer, measuring the intensity of the public warmth; they are the pulse which indicates the healthy and unhealthy condition of the collective body of people; they tell him what he wants to know, whether or no the people are up to the times in business mat ters. A home-seeker, glances at a paper from a town in which he intends to settle, immediately sizes np'the business" men. If he finds a journal well filled with large od vertiseineuts he will believe the town is prosperous. Otherwise, if lie finds paper with but few advertisements iu it, and a lot of dead matter, he concludes that the place where it is published does a very small busi ness. A respectable newspaper is the best advertisement a town can hae. Ex. DECIDEDLY SHAKY. A trembling band, an uncertain step, fidgetiness, indicated by restless shifting from one place or posture to another, usually mental annoyance at unexpected noises, are among the indications of extreme nervous ness. These seem trifling, but the health of men and women . in this condition is "decidedly shakey," liable to be overtnrown disastrously, by causes , which the yigrous might defy. .' To fortify the nervous system; general vigor must, through the medium of reinforced digestioq and a renewal of an impaired power of sleeping at night, be raised to a healthful standard. A guarantee of this is Hosoetter's Stomach Bitters, which le-ostablishes digestion, Idle secretion, and the habit of body on a permanantly regular basis, thus repewing tne bodily equilibrium, which is followed by a gain of strength and nerve tranquillity.
