Deceased wa Zh year of age, and is surlved by a son who resides In thl city, and two daughters, who live at San Francisco The cause of the woman's death was dropsy. Annie McFadden, a she was generally known, wa Mr. Annie Ness and lived on a Young river ranch Periodically she came to the city and seldom If ever left for home without first having pent a few hour In the city Jul). She was addicted to the use of liquor, and every time the police ar rested her she promised to be good thereafter. Despite her weakness, the woman was of kindly disuKitWu. The joint manufactories committee held a meeting last evening' that was well attended and proved Interesting and enthusiastic throughout. Work has betn quietly going on in toe ciiy tor the past 12 days by Mr. Whipple and other members of the committee, the Intent being to obtain a site and other wise make necessary preliminaries for the starting of a new sawmill. They have succeeded and the mill is an as sured fact, John Kopp having been In. duccd to ifporate one here after having concluded lo locate In Montana. The site selected is In East Astoria, about 200 feet west of the Hume mill. It wa the Intention of the committee to o arrange matters as to make It unnec essary to call upon the public for any (and at all, but at last evening's ses sion, after every othir conceivable plan had been discussed It was found that the sum of SM0 will have to be raised by subscription, so a committee was appointed to solicit the amount. The projiowd site consists of 5 lots, owned by private parties, and an arrange ment has been perfected whereby an exchange of other property will be made for them. The 1900 will be used to purchase lots with which to make the exchange. The Interest that Is being manifested In the matter was well exemplified last night when volun teers were called to do the solicit Ing. Practically every one In attend ance was on his feet "willing to do the work. The gentlemen appointed are Martin Foard, Judge Trenchard, C. A. Coolldg, B. F. Allen,!. Bergman, O. Petersen and W. W. Whlnnle. The members of the committee will start out this morning to secure the amount and they will stay with It until their duty Is accomplished. There are those who have already shown an Inclination to subscribe and no difficulty Is antici pated In securing the amount. The public generally Is urged to lend all aid possible In lessening the labors of the committee and all favorable sugges tions or other assistance will be thank fully received. It is proposed that the mill be of big capacityi the intention being to build It on a scale somewhat larger than the Clatsop mill. OIL AS FUEL. The many oil discoveries during the past few years would seem to Indicate an almost Inexhaustible supply, and as a result much of It Is being used for fuel pu.-poses. Experiments have shown that It Is just as servicable as coal but onldirubly cheaper. There are many people, however, who will al ways prefer coal, Just as there are many people who prefer taking Hos letter's Stomach Bitters In preference to any other remedy because they have tried it and know Its value aa a stonv ach strengthened an appetiser and gen eral health restorer.' They also know from experience that It positively cures sour stomach, dizziness, headache, In digestion, dyspepsia, constipation, bll- llousness or malaria, fever and ague. Try a bottle and be convinced of Its value. Avoid all Imitations. YOU'LL HAVE TO HURRY. The beginning of the month Herman Wise first made the offer to sell 200 suits of men's clothes at the ridiculous price of $7.50. Some people at first paid no attention to the offer, but the bargain hunter soon appreciated the treat In store and began to Invest until now there's hardly a day but Mr. Wise sells from 5 to 10 of those suits. There's nothing the matter with these suits, except that Mr. Wise' has only one or two of a kind left and as he prides himself on cleaning stock before another season opens,, he felt It advls-J able to mark such low prices on the odd suits that would surely move them. Half of the month Is gone, so If you, gentle reader, are wise you will go to Wise and at once for one of those suit that formerly sold at from $12.50 to 117.50 and get one now at 17.50. Don't wait until they are all gone and thn kick. He Wise now. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCKrtN, Mr. A.

The total amount of taxable property Is 1,62770 and the levy will net 116,279.70-whlch will Just about pay Interest. Mr. Nordstrom, In discussing the city's financial situation said It would be necessary for the councilmen and citizens generally to close their eye to the wide-open order of things. Fines and forfeitures and saloon license constituted the revenue that maintain the city government, he said, and, while he regretted that the city wa compelled to depend on vice for the money necessary to run things, he thought the council should continue to exercise economy and get along a best It can.

The council last night Increased the Fulari?s of members of the police force from $70 to $75 monthly. An ordinance by Mr. Robinson to raise the salary of the city treasurer from $50 to $65 monthly was opposed by Mr. Nord strom, and the bill was referred to the ways and means committee for report at the next meeting. Mr. Hansen presented a resolution calling attention to the need of a state health board at this port. The reso lutlon was prompted by Governor Cham berlaln's recommendation that the of; fics of health offieer and boatman be abolished. It states that the Oregon official is needed, as plague Is known to exist at San Francisco and along the coast of Mexico, and relates that there Is no conflict In the duties of the government quarantine officer and the state health officer. It was ordered that copies of the resolution be for warded to the Clatsop delegation at Salem. Reporting on the petition o f Astoria council. Federation of Labor, the ways andmeans committee recommended that union labor be employed and that all city employes be made subject to the eight-hour day rule wherever such ac tion would not Impair the efficiency of the various departments. At the Instance of the same com mittee, the request of Chief Hallock that hi book be exported was granted. The petition of property owner that a light be placed at Franklin avenue and Eleventh streets will receive fur ther consideration. Reporting on the remonstrance of property owners agulnst the proposed Eighteenth street drain, the committee recommended that the drain be ex tended to F.xchungH street and lowered two feet.
