He was accompanied as far as Astoria by Mr. and Mrs. McConnell and daugh ter, who continued their Journey southward to San Francisco. Mr. Mc Connell's home Is In Woodland, Cali fornia. A necktie social, given under the auspices of the Degree of Pochontas, Improved Order of Redmen, attracted a large crowd to the K. of P. hall last night. Dancing and refreshments were the diversions of the evening. Excel lent music was furnished by the As toria Mandolin Club. The trial of George Nelson, the sein er, on a charge of perjury, did not come oft before Justice . Hughes yesterday owing to the failure of the defend ant to put In an appearance. Nelson, who was out on his own recognizance, Is now supposed to be at some place on the Washington side of the river. James McDonald of the A. & C. railway, one of the most popular con ductors of the entire Northwest broth erhood, is confined to his home by Ill ness. It is to be hoped Mr. McDonald will soon be on the road to recovery, as he has contributed largely in mak ing the passenger service of this line attractive to the traveling public. J. T. Ross of the grocery house of Ross, HIgglns & Co., left yesterday for Seattle, where he will, remain a few days and then take a sea trip to Skagway. Mr. Ross will combine bus iness with recreation, and while In Alaska, will devote a part of his time to an Investigation of certain mining interests. He will not return until October 1st. Len Stlnson, the 18 year old son of G. A, Stlnson, of Upper Astoria, met with an accident yesterday that ser iously mangled the fingers of his left hand. It seems that the young man was engaged with a wood-sawing ma chine, and Jumped forward to give some piece of the machine his atten tion, when his hand came In contact with the saw. He was Immediately waited on by Doctor A. L. Fulton who dressed the wound. Toung Stlnson will lose the mid lie finger of his in jured hand. The schooner Jessie has been re moved from her berth at the O. R. & N. dock to Leather's ship yards, Capt. A. A. Henderson, who will have charge of her In the deep sea fishing departure, states that she will now be ready for business within a very fewj days. In fact, the boat is only await ing the construction of a windlass, which It seems, her owners were un able to purchase an the Paolfic coast. She will cruise between Cape Flattery and Vancouver, and will visit fishing grounds only known to her master, and which have no marking on the nautical maps. The Robertson log raft, which left the Sound about three weeks ago, reached San Francisco yesterday, ac cording to a press dlspatvh In another column. It was feared tor a while that the raft hud met with disaster as it was about five days overdue. The raft was the largest ever built and was composed principally of piling. It left the Sound In tow of the tug Csarlna and met with heavy weather off the California coast, during which the tug was compelled to abandon it. In remained intact, however, and was afterwards picked up In good condition and towed to San Francisco. "Astoria was never more prosperous than at the present time," said a leading clergyman yesterday. "In ad dition, one has only to tour the city as I do to note an amount of new build ing little dreamed of by the average cltlsen. , There are now many resi dences In course of construction, and they are of a design to Indicate an unbounded faith In the city's future. For some unexplained reason, I have frequently recalled that fellow's dream published in the Astorian some time ago. He saw a great and populous city with the shores lined with ship ping and the air black with factory smoke. I have an impression that this Identical condition is shaping, except that I want to see the authorities squelch soft coal and use anthracite, If coal la to be the fuel In vogue." James Hendricks, who has the con tract for the plastering and brick work on the government barracks at Fort Stevens, was In the city yesterday em ploying men. The work Is being push ed as rapidly as possible, the greatest drawback being the scarcity of mate rial. The contract was let for the sum of J62.000 and the time for Its comple tion is April 1, 1900. About 30 men are now employed there, but this force will be doubled as soon as the lumber material can be had from the local mills. Mr. Hendricks says la borers are also difficult to obtain. He employed one man in Astoria yester day, after scouring the city, but need ed several other hands. Owing to the difficulty the contractors have met with in securing lumber and men, the progress of the work has been serious ly retarded. If necessary both mate rial and labor will be obtained at out side points, so that the buildings may be flnlnshed in the time specified In the contract. The young Mormon students who are now holding a series of street meetings in Astoria, constitute an en tertaining quartette, and attract large crowds nightly. Their singing and discourses are given respectful atten tion, and as they seem sincere In pur pose and are gentlemanly In demeanor, their presence is the more warmly ap preciated as they become better ac quainted. The fact is not generally known that the Latter-Day Saints are forming a great religious trust, which It Is expected will In time rival in extent the multitude of Christian workers who now compose the Salva tion Army. Their plan of campaign is formed directly In line with the de votional tactics employed by General Booth, which have been so successful In disseminating the gospel Into every known quarter of the civilized world. While the Mormon purpose Is Btlll In embryo, there are already hundreds of small but earnest bands laborious ly tolling In behalf of the creed, and the vast throng of converts who are accepting the modern articles of faith Is creating a sensation In both England and America, The steamship Columbia crossed out yesterday morning for San Francisco. She got stuck on the Hogback above Tongue Point before reaching Astoria, and had to wait for the tide to rise before she could pass through. The detention of the Columbia was freely criticised by river pilots yesterday In view of the fact that transports have been ordsred to Portland to take the Thirty-fifth regiment to Manila. The river is now at a normal stage and It Is the general belief that should the transports arrive from the Inland metropolis without meeting with acci dent It will be a miracle. The Colum blt draws less water than any of the transports ordered to Portland, but she grounded and could not get off until high tide. The trip of the transports to Portland will be watch ed with interest by river men. It Is believed the transports will have dif ficulty In securing pilots at Astoria to take them up the river. The reputa tion of a pilot will suffer If he takes any chances on grounding and delaying a government vessel. A well known pilot yesterday said that he would not undertake to pilot either of the transports to Portland and back for any consideration. FELL OVERBOARD. A Newsboy at the O. R. & N. Dock Has a Narrow Escape from Drowning. "Help me! Help me! Help me!" A big crowd ran to the edge nf the O. R. & N. landing yesterday morning to see Willie Darragh, one of the As- torlan's newsboys, struggling In the river and crying lustily for assistance. The big steamer Hassalo tossed rest lessly at the dock, and threatened mo- mentarlly to crush the frail little body against the long tier of piling. "Throw him a rope," cried an onlook er, and Immediately a dock hnnd drop ped a line to the almost exhausted lad Willie grasped it and awultdJ MB res cuer, who lowered himself to the wai ter's surface and fished out the choking mite of humanity. Willie tells his ex perience as follows: "I was standing on the pier selling papers when a team came rushing to wards the entrance. It frightened me a little and I stepped back to get out i'f the way and fell overboard. I I didn't care so much for the ducking as to lose half of my papers. All the other kids sold out, and I would too, if this hadn't happened." THE FALL FISH SEASON. Views of Various Representative Can- nerymen on the Present Status and P roe wot. "Fishermen report that the river fairly swarms with sardines," said Manager E. W, Tallant of the Colum bia River Packing Company yester day. "It such Is the case, according to their theory, we -may anticipate a heavy fall run of the silver side sal mon." Mr. Tallant continued: "Compared with last season, the Sep tember product for this year la short. One of our men, who went out on the 10th or 11th, brought In at that time, 14 of what we usually call "stragglers." Last night his catch dwindled down to (our. Another man who has been fish ing regularly since Sunday, Informed me today that he wouldn't go out any more for the present. However, the fishermen all feel buoyant over the prospects, and are only resting on their ours until the full moon tides." According to Mr. Tallant, there are not over 20 fishing boats engaged on the river at this time. The association canneries, with the exception of Mc Govern's at Grays harbor, are closed. Manager W. T. Chutter of A. Booth & Co.. when questioned concerning the outlook, said: "Salmon are coming In slow, but we are not feeling anxious. I look for the run to open about the ISth or 20th." Manager Sofus Jensen of the Fisher men Protective Union cannery held the following views: The fish business Is annoylngly quiet right now. As a matter of fact. we are sadly disappointed at the back ward run. Our men who went out last night returned, virtually, without any thing. Neverthless, there la a prospect of two months' good fishing yet." PROF. STODDARD'S EXHIBITION A Large Audience present Last Even ing to Witness the Exercise of the Ralston Culture Class. A large company of Astoria's rep resentative people assembled last night at Fisher's hall to witness the exhibition given by Prof. Stoddard's class In Ralston Physical Culture, and they were all repaid for their attend ance. A more unique or pretty enter tainment of Its kind was never wit nessed here. The class showed great improvement and all the members were very profuse in their praise of Prof. Stoddard and his system,, of physical culture. All of the class have Improved In general health, some have lost weight, other gained, some have bettered their digestive powers, others have rectified chronic complaints, while all have Increased In lung power. The evening was opened by a vocal solo by Mr. H. C. Thompson, which was well received. Following this, the class gave a short synopsis of the sys tem of exercises and a very pretty exhibition It was. Bach movement had Its own Individual merit, each ex ercised a different set of muscles and when they were all combined, pre sented a systematic course of exercises that rould not be equaled by any other known .lystem. The movements, which were accompanied by catchy music, were frequently received with well de served applause. While the elas was resting, Duncan Stuart fntertalned the company with one of his popular readings, which was heartily applauded. The class again took the fiTor and were put through the contest exercises. They acquitted themselves with especial credit. It was an attractive exhibition. Prof. Stod dard then addressed the audience. He explained the system fully and stated that although he goes to Portland to morrow to pursue his work there, if a class of sufficient size was formed here he would return on October 4, and teach another term of 20 lessons, giv ing two lessons a week. He stated that he would teach afternoon and evening classes If both were required and also a children's class on Satur days. Duncan Stuart and Mr. H. C. Thompson have charge of the forma tion of the classes and should be seen at once by all who Intend taking ad vantage of this course of exercises. Quite a number signed the roll last evening, and as the class Is limited to floor space the rest should sign before September 25, when the roll will be closed. RBAI, ESTATE TRANSFERS.

There Is more truth In this than the thought- The glory of Oregon's future will soon rest with her school boys ot totlny; their obligations will be great. Let thorn be in nowise handicapped.

For Instance, take a man or woman with a weak stomach which has not the power of giving the blood the nourishment It requires. The system is filled with poisonous bile. Poor blood coursing through the brain poisons and weakens It, and the suf ferer is utterly Incapable of enjoying beauty of any sort, or even a hearty meal. The reason the bilious and the dyspeptic who takes Hostetter's Stom ach Bitters finds life brighter and pleasant-;r, is because It cleanses the system and strengthens the stomach. &e that a private revenue stamp covers the top of the bottle. If we could see ourselves as others see us we might have a better opinion of ourselves than we have now. FOR 8 ALB. Furniture of upper floors of Central hotel. Good paying business.
