The Interment was in Greenwood cemetery. The funeral of H. II. Anderson was held yentertoy from his residence In Alderbrook. The funeral was under the auspices of the Scandinavian Be nevolent society and Seaside lodge, A. 0. U. W., and was largely attended. The interment was In Greenwood cem etery.

Work Is progressing rapidly on the new buildings and other Improvements there and every effort will be made to complete them before the rainy season begins.

C. baseball nine has not yet received official notification from the Multnom ahs that the latter team will play hltn In Portland on Saturday, he feels con fident that the contest will take place, and Is practicing his men diligently for the victory which la expected will almost certainly perch on the banners of the athletic Astorians. A favorable response means that a large delegation will accompany the local players on their trip up the river. Doctor It. I Henderson was called to liurnside Point, eight miles east of this city yesterday, to attend an old resident In that locality who has been suffering from a complication of ail ments during the past few days. While in the nelghbothood, the doctor discov ered five cases of malignant diphtheria, two being confined to one family and three to another. The local authorities should rise to the emergency and take measures to prevent any possible spead of the malady In Astoria. 'Contractor Lebeck's pile driver, which has been engaged In driving trap piling along the middle river, will re turn down this morning. Mr. Lebeck says that he has driven piling for about IS traps besides driving the piling for and repairing a number of wharves. Mr. Lebeck says his whole force of men, which numbers about M, will be put to work raising the Occident hotel build ing Monday next, and that he expects to have the Job completed in U hours afterwards. His contract for putting the building in position will be finished by October 1. Contractor Fastabend returned yes terday from Rainier, where he has been engaged in recovering a barge belong ing to the Kerns A Hale Company, which was sunk about a mile below that Place a year ago. Mr. Fastabend nan th harre. which was enuitv. hUnK on a pile and remained there. Recently j she worked off the pile and drifted In shallow water. Mr. Fastabend has i been engaged to recover as much of I the wreck as possible. The donkey en- gine, machinery and other running gear, he thinks, will probably be saved also. The hull will be a total wreck. The twin attraction of Dr. Styner, the electric Dhvsiclan. and a vender of sham diamonds at Twelfth and Com j mercial streets, and the Salvation army j and Morman students at Eleventh and I Commercial streets last night, lent to j those sections of the city an appear I ance much resembling the throbbing centers of San Francisco or New Tork. Dr. Styner proved the drawing card of the evening, although the counter at tractions were well patronised. The doctor's entertainment is unique in that he deals out elocutionary effort togeth er with vocal and Instrumental se lections, without charge.. Business Just now with the A. & C. R. R. Is almost as good as could be desired. The benefit of the common point rate on lumber for eastern points Is beginning to tell in Astoria's favor. The local mills are running night and day and Clatsop lumber is going to many sections of the Middle West where it has never been known before. Besides the lumber shipments, the rail road Is carrying out large quantities of salmon. Last Monday 10 car loads of the Alaska pack of the local com pany, brought down on the Morse, was sent through by rail to New Tork. Since that day Ave carloads of Colum bia river salmon have also gone out over the railroad to the east has been no better conducted hotel on the entire Pacific coast. Messrs Meg ler and Wright are personally known to thousands of people all over this country and Europe. It will seem odd to many of Astoria's regular visitors within the next JO days to be obliged to accept the hospitality of another house than the Occident. With the re opening of the hotel upon completion of the improvements contemplated. Messrs. Megler and Wright ought to enjoy a very largely Increased pat ronage. It Is a pleasure to announce that tler will be a grand entertainment at the Dock Pavilion tomorrow even ing, given by the gifted Journalistic soloist, Slg. Cresplno Jasdowskl Cur tlssimo. The program as contem plated. Includes the favorite ditty, "There'll be a Hot Time," which. In flne voic. the professor should render with all the grace of a sinuous French Chan teuvj Exeentrlnue.

A SINGULAR DEATH. Robert West , of Westport. Kl.led by Falling on an Open Knife. Robert West, aged 41, years, died in Westport Tuesday. The circumstances attending his death are singularly tragic.

The VnESEVT Contains Alum Laws restricting the use of alum In bread have been in force in England, Germany and France for many years. In this country, In Minnesota, Wiscon sin, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and several other states, direct legislation In reference to the sale of alum bak ing powders has been effected. In sev eral of these states their sale Is pro hibited unless they are branded to show that they contain alum, and In the Dis trict of Columbia, under the laws of congress, the sale of bread contain ing alum has been made Illegal.

"This is strange," he said. These were his last worJs. He st.iggfred, dropped to his knees, and then fell prostrate on his face, uttering a groan. Mrs. West procured water and hur riedly bathed the dying man's brow. Noticing the wan and death-like pal lor which was overspreading his coun tenance however, she hastened away for help. Before her return, her hus band was dead. Mr. West was the proprietor of a cannery establishment In Westport and the day pro-.-edlng his intlmely end, had contracted for the erection of a new residence.

In addition to these, many grocers sell what they call their own private or special brands. These powders are put up for the grocer, and his nam put upon the labels by manufacturers of alum powders. The manufacturers. It Is said, find their efforts to market their goods In this way greatly aided by the ambition of the grocer to sell a powder with his own name upon the label, especially as he can make an abnormal profit upon it' Many gro cers, doubtless, do not know that the powders they are thus pushing are alum powders the sale of which would be a misdemeanor under the law re ferred to.

At this point, the Eldar from the boat, I should say that there were not over a half dozen houses here, counting chlckencoops and all." "By the way," continued Mr. Ball, "5 years passed slnced since I last saw my sis ter until a few days ago. I left her a tot. I was quite a youngster myself then when I bade the old folks good bye and went to New Tork to ship around the Horn. We had an Interest ing trip from Sandy Hook to the Oolden Gate, although It was fraught with great danger. When off Cape Horn the vessel was literally torn to pieces and when we made San Fran cisco, the ship was condemned. That voyage was 'iulte sufficient to satisfy any cravings I had for the sea. I quit the main and went to farming." "Did you preserve a correspondence with your family, the reporter asked? "For a while," was the answer. "Then I grew dilatory about it and finally ceased writing altogether. In time I came to the conclusion that they were all dead. I found my sister's where abouts In rathf-r a peculiar manner. I was engineering the heating apparatus In the Portland poRtofflne, when the postmaster one day called my attention to a large pile of rubbish and requested that I d'-stroy It.

While waiting for a part of it to burn, I sat down, and looking over the litter of papers, described the word 'Blizzard' on what proved, after an Investigation, to be a newspaper referred to the subject of polygamy and stated that It was a dead Issue In the church of the Latter-Day saints. "I am well aware," he continued, "that our little band Is a target for abuse and vilification at the hands of the outside world. Still, there are. two thousand and over or Mormon young men who are now in the missionary field, and there Isn't one of them who asks or receives any remuneration from our beloved church." "How are your expenses defrayed?" Inquired the reporter. "There has been a time when for seven months out of ten I have travel ed without a penny In my pocket.
