There are many organisations being
effected among tha busy workers of
Astoria, and thla evening there will
be a meeting of delegates from the
different unlona already organised to
form a central body of labor which
will become a member of the American
Federated Trades Organisation. The
fishermen, barbers, cigar-makers and
teamster are already organised and
many other trade are expected to
form unlona soon. The result will be
the strengthening of Industry and the
establishment of ateadlness among all
lines of labor connected with the or
ganisation. Thirteen Indians arrived In town from
Oraya harbor yesterday and attract
ed considerable attention on the streets.
They were exceedingly dusky but quite
Intelligent. The crowd came over to
collect the money due them from one
of the cannery Institutions, to which
they hud been delivering Dsh. Short
ly after their arrival there were many
new Jackets In sight, of the colors that
the Immortal Joseph Is said to have
donned before the days of the salmon
and the cannery business. To their
credit It may be said that they be
haved most admirably while In the
city, evidently expending most of their
earnings for clothing, provisions and
other necessaries of life.
The Columbia crossed out for San
Francisco yesterday morning shortly
before 10 o'clock. She carried a good
cargo of merchandise but her passen
ger Ilk waa light. As a matter of
fact, the steamers bound for San
Francisco are carrying, by far, loss
passengcre than are brought In from
that port. The tide of Immigration has
been much In favor of the north for
several months past. Tho consignments
of freight from San Francisco to Asto
ria and Portland of late have necessar
lly been heavy owing- to the great de
mand occasioned by the operation of
the canneries. The export trade, how
ever, Is quite up to the standard and
Oregon, when it comes to the "give
and take" proposition In commerce,
more than holds her own.
Charles Henry, better known as the
"Jap," died yesterday afternoon from
consumption after a protracted Illness
and the remains are now at Pohl's
undertaking parlors awaiting burial.
Henry hod been suffering from the
disease for several years but repeated
ly rallied until the last relapse which
resulted In hla death. He had been a
resident of Astoria since 1881, coming
to this city from California where, at
one time, he was engaged in the truck
ing business. He Is said to have
come to this country in 1S62 In an
American man-of-war from Chinese
waters, having served on the vessel as
a cook. He persistently represented
himself as a native of Japan, although
his appearance and features Indicate
blm as being a Corean-Chlnese. Th
time for holding the funeral baa not yet
been announced but It Is believed that
the service will take place tomorrow
aftr-ioon. The deceased had no rela-
tivrti in this city and, as far as Is
known, none In this country, lit was
destitute at the time of his death, hav
ing been obliged to depend upon the
genercslty of his friends for the neces
sities of life. Chief of Police Hallock.

BODY. OF RENTZ RECOVERED.
Third Vk t in of En plosion Rescued
Krom the Wreck Coroner's la
quest Wild Dynamite
Theories, ,
The members of the coroner's Jury,
w hich mt yesterday to take testimony
concerning- the cause of the death of
Maurice M.wre and J. C. Shaw, vic
tims of the oil factory explosion, will
Itav early this morning for the scene
of the accident to Investigate the prem
ises. Nothing of Importance was developed
m the Inquest yesterday aside from the
report of the ac.-Mmt publlkhed In
the Asturlan on the morning fter the
explosion. Dr. Henderson, the city
physlclnn. and Mr. D Force, proprie
tor of the factory, were the principal
witnesses, t)r. Henderson described
in position of the bodies when found
and explained In detail the Injurlea re
sulting In death. 'n.'.JLi
Almost at the same hour at which
the Inquest was being held news was
received that the body of Chris. Rents,
who w "is employed at the factory at
the time and who bad been missing
since ths explosion, had been found
Ir the river. Later Information de
vioped that Rentx's body was discov
ered at the bottom of the river only
a few fvet from the point where be
Is suppo-.-d to have fallen from the
scow in which he was working.
Dcruiy Coroner Max Pohl left Imme
diately for the factory on the steam
launch Claud B. Hanthorn and secur
ed the body. The body had been se
cured to a pile with a rope which had
ben placed abvHit the waist of the
deal man 5y those who had discov
ered hie body. The body was In a re
markably fine condition considering the
length of time It had been In the water.
Muny wild theories huve been floated
about town as to the probable cause
of the explosion, the wildest of which
Is the suggestion that dynamite may
have been used by someone having
evil designs against Mr. De Force and
his property.
.City Physician Henderson, who waa
one of the first to visit the premises
on the day of the disaster, states It as,
his opinion that the explosion waa
mrely another case of "salt boiler."
The water used In the boiler waa tak
en from the river and heavy deposits
of sulphur and Iron necessarily accu
mulated. Thee deposits are Invariably
disastrous to boilers unless great pre
caution la taken to administer a thor
ough cleansing at brief Intervals. Dr.
Herdersnn baa had. In former years,
considerable experience with boilers
and. possessing a knowledge of tha
peculiar properties contained In water
and Its effects upon boilers, he speaks
as an authority.
The theory of foul play la scouted by
all those who have visited the premises
and Is doubted even by Mr. De Force,
who, aside from the loss of life, la the
greatest sufferer from the disaster.
AFTER TAX-SHIRKERS.
Aggressive Measure to Be Adopted
With the Poll-Tax Delinquents.
County Judge Gray Is authority for
the statement that unless those who
are Indebted it the county for poll tax
are more prompt In paying the same,
suits will be instituted against them
Individually for the amount due. Judge
Gray expresses the opinion that many
of those who should be among the first
to pay the tax are endeavoring, by
deliberate evasion, to escape payment
of the small sum which, In many In
stances, represents the total sum of
taxes paid by them In support of the
county government.
Good reason has been given for the
belief that certain Individuals have been
advising the male citliens not to pay
their road poll tax as the law Is con
flicting and, therefore, unconstitutional.
Many of the best lawyers in the coun
ty have looked Into the matter, as far
as the legal status la concerned, and
pronounce the action of the county
commissioners In the matter to be per
fectly tenable. It has also been stated
by lawyers of prominence In the com
munity that these attempts to cheat
the county out of a legitimate source
of -revenue on unreasonably technical
grounds, are purely of a malicious na
ture and designed for the purpose of
cutting down the county's Income for
political purposes.
However, the law Is sufficiently rlaln
for all to understand. The paragraph
from the codes bearing upon the sub
ject Is quoted:
"When a supervisor cannot find suf
ficient property of a delinquent out of
which to make the amount of his road
tnx, or any part thereof, he must col
lect the same, or any part thereof re
maining uncollected, by an action in
his own name against 'the delinquent,
in any court having Jurisdiction there
of, and if Judgment be given In such
action against the defendant, it shall
be enforced In the same manner as
a Judgment for a fine In a criminal
action. All moneys paid to or collected
by the supervisor for road taxes shall
bo expended by the supervisor in the
Improvement or repairs on the roads In
his district as may bo most needed or
useful." '
Road Supervisor Foster was asked
yesterday afternion conJernlng the re
fusal of pers-tos to pay the tax,
"The collections are very slow," said
he, "but It appears to be due to a lack
of the funds as much aa- any other
cause." . ,
When asked If there was any Indica
tion on the part of citizens to dishonest
ly evade payment of the tax, Mr. Foster
said that no particular Inatanceg had
arisen thus far to his knowledge.
The tax wis originally Imposed for
the purpose of equalising, to a certain
extent, the burdens Incurred In the
maintenance "f the county government
Hundreds of men In Clatsop county
own no taxable property yet receive the
iwneflt of the protection and advant
age of regulations maintained only by
revenues derived from taxation. It Is
the purpose of the county court to see
that a many of these ss possible shall
be compelled to contribute at least to
the maintenance of the streets and
roadway.
ARRESTED FOR FORGERY.
Sheriff Linvllle Arrests a Dissolute
Woman on a Serious Charge.
Sheriff Linvllle last night arrested
one Emma McKldowney on a warrant
issued at HUMboro on a charge of
having forged a note for $200. The
woman was arrested In the BIJou, where
she had been engaged by the man
agement In the Interest of the house to
promote trade at the bar. The woman
tame to this city only a few day
ago. .. -
A etory of dire depravity Is devel
oped through the arrest of the McEl
downey woman. The mother of the
primmer as well as a sister, are, at
the present time. Inmates of dives in
the disreputable part of the city, A
second sister. It is said, was here only
a few day ago, but she recently de
parted for Portland.
The quartette are said to have
started on the downward road only a
few months ago. The husband of the
mother of the prisoner was at one
time an Industrious man and for sev
eral years vas In charge of the Ladd
property at Portland. After long,
faithful service he began drinking heav
lly and his home, gradually was
wrecked. Whether his dissipation was
caused by domestic difficulties due to
the conduct of his wife and daughters,
or the trouble was due to his dissipation
is not known here. Nevertheless, It
Is an established fact that the wife
and three daughters have drifted Into
the lowest-depths of sin and that one
of the daughters Is now a prisoner at
the county Jail, under a charge which
may land her In the state peniten
tiary. The complainant in this case Is a
resident of Hlllsboro named Peterson.
He cashed the bogus note to which
'the woman Is said to have forged the
name of another.
Sheriff Llnville will leave for Hllls
boro today to surrender the woman to
the authorities In that city.
TRANSVAAL LOSS OF LIFE.
Moralists are discussing the terrible
loss of life brought about by the
Transvaal war. Tet here life la aacri-
j need for a purpose for an honest prin
ciple. It were better to preach against
the needless sacrifice of life. Thou
sands of people suocumb to alunenu
which might easily have been check
ed In the beginning. Dyspepsia carries
off more people than are killed in war.
The use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
would save many livts. Constipation
may seem a little thing, but it Invar
iably develops Into something worse,
and the longer It Is allowed to run, the
harder It ia to cure. The Bitters cures
Indigestion, constipation, dyspepsia and
biliousness, naturally and permanently,
without shocking the system. It' la
good for everybody.
