of two of the most braaen criminals
that have ever operated In Astoria. '
The arrest of these men and the sub
sequent conviction of Smith after a
trial lasting three days, followed by a
plea of guilty voluntarily entered by
Lane, was only made possible by the
dint of hard work on the part of Dis
trict Attorney Harrison Allen. Sheriff
Llnville and City Attorney A. M. Smith
peace officers of the county of Clatsop
and the city of Astoria respectively.
We measure the workof our public
officials not so much by what they save
us hi dollars and Cents as by the pro
tection they afford the community by
incline has crumbled to dust, and his
good works outside the province of the
church of which he was the visible
head on earth assure him a place of
honor in the history of the world. His
works are his monument, and time
cannot destroy the record that he has
left behind him. There remains but to
elect his successor, and the world looks
to the conclave of cardinals to elect a
successor to the papal throne who will
command the love and respet't of na
tions in the same measure as did the
dead pontiff. Tope Leo set a splendid
example for succeeding generations of
the Roman church to follow. He es-

the conviction of two men, one ad
Judged guilty of perjury by a jury and
the other a self confessed perjurer and
thief. These men have long practiced
thdr criminal operations in other cit
ies, including Seattle and San Fran
' cisco, where they secured large sums
of money for Injuries alleged to have
been sustained by Bock having
fallen on defective sidewalks. They
laflled the best legal talent of those
cities, and secured a Judgment against
the city of Astoria for 12,500, which
would have been satisfied on a com
promise had not information reached
the reiee officers that there was
crookedness in the case. Then it was
that the effective work was done, and!
TO a San Francisco judge was as
signed the task of deciding the value of
a kiss. It appears from the evidence in
the case that a bewitching damsel had
delivered the osculatory package to the
defendant ln the case and had received
in return a promissory note in the sura
of flOO. The b d. brought suit to re
cover the amount of the note, and the
defendant made answer to the com
plaint stating that he had not received
value. The court decided that as os
culation was not quoted on the stock
or produce market the suit was not
well taken, and dismissed it. The de
fendant's wife got hold of the promis

Germ Infected Air.
'Malaria is not confined exclusively to the swamps
and marshy regions of the country, but wherever there is
.-bad air this insidious foe to health is found. Poisonous
vapors and gases from sewers, and the musty air of damp
'cellars are laden with the germs of this miserable disease,
which are breathed into the lungs and taken up by the
blood and transmitted to every part of the body. Then
you begin to feel out of sorts without ever suspecting the
cause. No energy or appetite, dull headaches, sleepy and
tired and completely fagged out from the slightest exer
tion, are some of the deplorable effects of this enfeebling
malady. As the disease progresses and the blood becomes
more deeolv poisoned, boils and abscesses and dark .ir ;
