If a man capitalizes a concern at $30,000,000, merely water, ; and it does not pay. trouble will ensue. ; People should not get scared at these matters. These are individual troubles in which the public have no further con eern than the drawn object lessons thereof. If a bad enterprise fails here in As toria It should not shake business gen erally in this locality, nor should it cause any person to doubt the success of other investments, founded on solid ground. It should not cause the part f the world known as capitalists to withhold money from these sound In stitutions. Distrust begets distrust. Faith founded on reason will do much to promote business. Business is good and' will remain so. So far as medical science Is concern ed, the case of the western mine owner, who, minus an ear had another man's ear grafted on his head, Is interesting. The price paid was "15,600" The man who will part . with his ear for any consideration has a very pecul . iar idea of things. If his soul could be put upon the bargain counter "he would have no hesltency In placing it there. A sound man or woman ia better, even though these blessings are enjoyed in abject poverty. And the man who - The Smooth Smoke of he Islands The Largest Selling Brand o!

Is to lie congratulated on his nerve and what he has contributed to medical science. but having; once havig lost the member but few would care to go through the ghastly ordeal of iarrytag around an other person's ear all through life. The stand taken by A. S. Meserve, warden of the county workhouse at Wilmington, regarding the Influence of the use of the lash in Delaware, Is In teresting. He stated before the New Century Club that he does not believe the system lessens the percentage of crime in the state. He says- he finds the character of the men at the post determine the size and character of the crowd attending. It excites their sym pathy and they decry against justice and the laws of the state. He thinks they are not as good citizens as before. Several disastrous "floods occurred.: some of the jreatest of which there is authentic rec-ird. Fortunately, the de partments warnings were prompt and timely In the most remarkable degree and no dangerous flood was unherald ed, states the secretary of agriculture's report under the head of "flood warn ings." Mr. Wilson's department Is very necessary and his annual report very exhaustive, but The Astorian would like to know when and where warnings were given of the Heppner flood. Of I Its kind, it was the most destructive on I record, in a comparatie sense. Nature : asserted herself and even the great de partment of agriculture cannot under take to forsee everything. er brigands or criminals, says an ex change. The only surprise is at the small percentage. Gen. (once president) Wox y Gil is re ported to be about to ask Uncle Sam to establish a protectorate over Santo Domingo, but the old gentleman will have no desire to act as policeman on i that rowdy beat, says the P.-I. ! If William Jennings Bryan accumu lates much "small change" In Rngland he'll have another currency problem on his hands, says an exchange. The Eng lish penny is as big as an AmcrU-an half dollur and change for a shilling gives the possessor a weight nearly equal to a five dollar package of nlckles. An Iowa man has become violently , insane through trying to eat each new breakfast food that was put upon the market. His mind must have been tottering on the verge when he tried the second one.
