" ; Hcversl Portland gitmblers, who ir've been put out of business by the new ad mlulsi fm t l"ii 1n the metropolis, ttsve oliened up In Astoria. It Is suld by the lortland e)Hrtlng men that only two hou!, the Portland Club ami the Oetn, ar psrmrlted to run their gnma. However, there Is not much gambling ven at those houses, as the plungers do not cjxe to take the chanee of a raid by the police, ' A movement Is now on fool In the Chic Impnvonunt League to Induce nil local grocers lo drop the practice of displaying vegetables and fruits on th sldewslk. The eatnbl aj cumu late much dust, and the movement Is III lh iiUrfst of health, Several Hems hava already adopted the excel lent suggc'tlon, and (those who fall to do so may note a dwnvase In their receipts from the ante of vegetitblei nnd fruits, , . ,. The work of building ' the Kmlih Point spur haa been Inished ,nd rell connection Is now iffnrl'd the l.'nl- vernil Bash aid fvior C.wiiin-, The factory la running full .Inte. The driv ing of piling for the new tuwmlll lo be located at the Point has been com meiH'eil, and the building of the mill will, be rushed. It Is exp-N ted U.: mill will be in operation by KepteniUT The poor road lending to the Point is greatly Inconveniencing t'! men work ing there, but this dlltlcul'y will prob ably sism be done away with. , It wan repirted around town yester day that tho American Can Company had determined to remove Its local plant to Portland, but the rumor has not yet been confirmed. According to the story 'n olivul&tlon, the factory is not advnntageously located here since the salmon puckera have been making their own cans, and that the freight on cans mad for outside points Is far In excess of that which would have to lie paid to supply the local demand If the factory were located In Port land, This move has. It la said, been coutiMiiplnted for some time. There la now every roamin to be lieve that the dispute between the owner of the Tongue Point property will h" settled at once .and that Mr. Hume will be able to go ahead with work on his enterprise. The dispute Is an unfortunate one and wm wholly unexpected. It affeeta the property on which Mr, Hume will -erect his big mill. The owners there will probably arrive At some amicable undttrrftnnd Ing ao that Mr. Hume may proceed with the work, and then settle the boundary question In the rourta, the loners to compl tho the victors. Some of the owners are out of town for a few dy and until they return nothing can be done. A packed house greeted Zamloch Inst evening, and Ms performance ful ly justified the attendance. Among the numbers presented last night wua the dance of the skeletons, which, whlle'not parMoularly mystifying, was very laughable. An entirely new pro gram was tendered and the audience was delighted with the entertainment; Several very valuable prliea were awarded to lucky apectators. Tonight Znmlnch will close his engagement here. He will prewent on entire change of program, with the exception of hl basket trick. Thla waa performed on Tuesday night, and tonight will bt re produced by request.

The effort to secure astealan water proved futile, as did also the aystem of etsterna that, waa liwUtlled Tha government recently- nskel the water commission to ex tend the main to th city limits at mtth Pidnt, where connecttona would he made for the Stevens supply, but Pears' Few people know, the comfort and beauty of perfect natural skin. . Have you used Pears' soap?" ' - Sold all eeer the world, , there waa a dlsagreemnt because of the desire of the commission to mip ply Warreototi, Flavei and New Asto ria frm the pff that would carry the Mipply to fWevens. Now, mwever, with the building of severel big fac tories at fmlth point, th main may be extended. In which even the fort could secure the supply once asked for. It I thought in Astoria Unit 8tven would be made the most hnportint post I u the Northwest if ;he water ijuefitlon could be wjfssf.dy wlvtd, and the Chamber Cj.-nmi-rce ha this In view while making the effort to secure water for tl F,ast .tnd "Vest Ends. At the meeting of the Push Club last night Mr, 0ston, reporting for the roads comlttee. wild that the work of planking the dyke south of Green wood cemetery on .the new Nehalem roid was progressing favorably, and th it by August 10 It would be possible to drive through to the plont where the itawmlll la now located. The mill, according to Roadin-li r Frye, Is cut ting from ll,cM.(a M.IKio (set dally, and the Increased rapacity ha sup plied the men with Ample lumber to plank the road aa fast as It Is mid ready for" the plank. While there la probably noi enough money In the Nehalem road fund to build the road through to Olney, the county court is understood to be In favor of a bond lsue against next year's levy, and If this Is the caas the work wril not be i delayed.

In turn, it it liistmo Ihii, Another one of tho mysterious sttl ildia, for the commission of which It Is mnt dink-lit to account, occurred yesterday afternson at the city Jail, and '.he victim la now at the morgue. The suicide fttrmngled himself to death with antojnHng deliht ration, for he was compelled to lift hla feet from the floor while the life was slowly choked out ,of him. Mental derangement prompted the act. The unfortunate man waa Axel Lhi fom, aged about 33 years. He was arrested at an early hour yesterday morning by Officers Thompson and Kimball on a charge of Insanity. The man had unexpectedly appeared at the room of Otto Kkrbbe. whom he threat ened to ahoirt. Ltnfors said someone waa trying to kill him, but his threat upon the life of young Skihbe - was without the slightest cause. He waa armed with a revolver, which waa flourishing in a threatening manner. .Sklbbe told the police about the mat ter and Llnfors mi taken 1n to cus tody! At the jail he told Chief Hal lock that he had left a ship here la February of the present year; tha.i enemies ir trying to make away with him, but waa unable 'to give a null nu I acount of himself. He- had worked at the Llndenberger cold-ator-age plant from 6 to 12 o'clock Tues day night, and after quitting work had threatened Skibbe'a life. Aa the man seemed to be insane, he wars locked up. In a cell by himself. Yesterday afternoon Chief" llallock was 111 at his office and sent for Dr. Estes. About the time the doctor ar rived. " Paddy" Lynch called to see how Llnfors was .getting along. The chief told Lynch he had not taiked with Linfora for several hours, as he had been Indisposed, and suggested that Lynch talk for a while with the man. When Lynch went to the cell he could see only the feet of the man, and surmised that something was wrong. The chief opened the cell and found Llnfors hanging to aMeather strap. The man waa cut down at once, but lire nai ueen extinct for, some time, " ' Linfora had takelt his belt from his waist, run one end throilgh the buckle, mtiking a noose which we placed around his neck, and made the end fast to a nail which had been driven In the wall about 54 feet from the door. He could not possibly have hanged hlwelf by standing upright, so he had drawn Up hla feet and held them In that position during the period of strangulation. When found his knees were but a few Inches from the floor, and at any time he could have avcd hlraself merely by extend ing the feet, His hat was still on his head. The body waa removed to the morgue and an Inquest was held last evening, the jury returning ft verdict in accordance with the facts tug here stated. This la the third suicide that has occurred nt the Aatorla city jail.. The llrst man to kill himself was under arrest and about to be taken through the door -of the Jail, 'when he drew a gun and blew out his brains. . The other suicide killed himself In a cell directly across the corridor from that In which Llnfors hanged himself. The second suicide made a 'noose out of his suspender, placed the noose around his neck, tied the end to the bars of an old window and then sat down. H?, too, could have saved him self had he so desired, but, like Lln fors, he wis so thoroughly Imbued with the suicidal mania that he jer mitted himself to be slowly strangled. FOR RENT.

The English war office has many schemes for training their soldiers, and which are generally followed up by practical demonstration. The latest is a device for Jocatlng guns firing smokeless powder? and its success will niak a new era In military progress.
