Tier ia every need for extraordinary care in tba handling of false tad harm ful rumor these days! It behooree all mm to have a ready guard on tongue and hand and ear, in order to forestall and nullify everything of ft hurtful sort arising from the current commercial . disorders. It is wonderfully easy to f. project lot of trouble just now by means of a careless and uninformed tongae; and the thoughtlessness which carries rumors far and vide, be it straight or crooked, is, and will be, re sponsible for infinite disaster, unless it is aaiversally safeguarded. The rang of facts themselves should be prescribed and every report should be gives the benefit of doubt and shrewd scrutiny before it is passed on, and then it should be told only to men who are known to use discretion. Weigh the tale and the teller and the probable affect of the re-telling of it. Scan the situation before you begin to bandy a man's good business name about the streets, and save him all that can be wrought from the circumstance by east ting a timely doubt on the story; in deed, one will be oftener justified than mt ia flatly denying the yam and press ing the reversal as ar as H will go. We owe something to one another in emergencies like this and the error may well be on the aide of safety (whether it remain there os not. Put a check on idle babbie and there will be fewer checks go to protest!' .. NEWS FROM TEX EAST. As from out the East came the first hint of the prevalent money trouble, so from the East comes the fiat reports of good or evil in regard to its progress. So far there has been but little to cause any grave uneasiness; and the news that came yesterday is brighter than usual. The great commercial agencies whose touch upon the business pulse of the nation is very true and delicate, all say the situation is steadily improving and give certainty of continued up-lift. This is the tone that should be rung on all our discussions in order to clear atmospheres and make them more amen able to better newt. 1 If this financial cloud shall pass with out a storm of ruin and reaction, we shall be qualified to assume the "flatter ing unction' that we are at last a phil osophic people and able to handle our crisis with wisdom and real success; in (which event, the sting of dread and realization will be minimized in all future contingencies of the sort. WHO IS THE ARCH-LIAR? A well-dressed, well-disposed, quiet mannered stranger visited this city the other day and made a few passing ac quaintances during the brief hours he devoted to his business here; and in the course of one of his conversations with a couple of well-known citizens, asked this question ,In seemingly perfect faith: "By the way, is this the Astoria that suffered so terribly a (few years ago from the tidal wave and lost some thing over 2000 of her fishermen V His hearers were saved from fainting by the instant need of fortifying this hon est stranger with a modicum of actual truth, and after satisfying themselves that the man was in full possession of bis senses and that he had really been told tome such yarn, they proceeded to enlighten him as to Astoria and several other things that were pertinent. To the best of his recollection he had SPECIAL EXPLOITATION DISPLAY Three Days-Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday Constantly on the alert to place at the command of our patrons those advanced ideas in woman's apparel that distinguished one store in each city for unquestioned leadership in style and quality, it has been our reward to secure exclusive representation in Astoria of the makers of AN D Since these remarkable innovations in artistic Cor setry have received Fashion's authoritative stamp of approval in Paris, Vienna, London .'and New York there is perhaps little to add on their behalf while in troducing them to the well-gowned women in our ter ritory. . One stops in wonder and amazement at the simple announcement -"They lace in Front" and instantly tefore the mental vision come pictures of what might have been had this revolutionary idea been given sooner to waiting Woman. All the hampering drawbacks, all the inconsistent cies of dress, all the imperfections of the old-style Cor set, all the obstacles to a perfect toilette all have van ished before the triumphant sweep of UV Irresistible" and 'The Gossard." A Corset that you will fit. Not one that fits you. A distinction and a difference. Assuring every woman a better figure. An alliance of art and beauty, which gives that elegance of carriage not attainable in ordi nary corsets. CORSETS TtelfiKM I FIR GUI elite mm urn. This Display Continues Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday An opportunity to investigate the advantages of these beautiful and really remarkable corsets is afforded every wc man who will visit our Corset Section, ' Heretofore the price has been the only bar to great popularity. Not every one cared to pay $25.00 to $40.00 for a corset. Now it is different. You can buy a Gossard Front-Laced Corset for as little as $5.00. The manufac turers have delegated Madame H. L. Redding, an expert corsetiere, to acquaint the ladies of Astoria with this ex tradinary corset that is fast making its way into the favor of America's best gowned women. MfflGTON DET GOODS CO. been told this thins over on Gray's Ear bor, but just where, or by whom, he was at a loss to say. How we nave always had a soft spot in our communal soul for Gray's Harbor and all its towns and this blow comes with a force aug mented Immensely by the injustice and untowardnes. of the thing. To think that a neighbor would spread such blast ed stuff as that about a fellow city that never gave it the slightest .cause for reprisal of any kind! We are on our guard, forever! We refuse to cher ish any more kindliness for a town, a man, a scheme, or anything. We are full of resentment, of fight, and the dark purpose of revenge; and if there shall be found creeping over the country any peculiarly atrocious and damnable stuff about Gray's Harbor, we will vouch for it, republish it, and certify it to its last syllable, and be glad of the chance. We don't propose to nave such hideous things as that crammed down our clvio throat right on our own door-step! o All UNESCAPABLE DUTY. The City of Astoria owes herself at least one unescapable obligation, and that is to put her waterfront property in condition to be aeen by the thousands who traverse our northern boundary either by rail or afloat. Our worst advertisement lies imme diately south of the r!ght-of-way of the A.4C. railway and of the commercial channels of the Columbia Eiverj every train, every steamer, bound either way, is furnished with a panoramic prospect that is an unqualified reproach to our people on the score of cleanliness and orderliness, and it should be removed without uny more ado. There is not a day "that' passes quite free from some thing by way of unpleasant comment about this thing and it is getting to figure almost as fame; a distinction we can well dispense with. An organized effort on tie part of those owners whose properly offers anything to offend the sight, would quickly and cheaply accomplish the de sired end; one week's work at pulling down rotten piling, and painting, and whitewashing, the river frontages from Tongue Point to Young's Bay bridge, would dispense with the accumulated disparagement of the years and start quite a new quality of comment by those who are travelers, and close observers, and who make notes of just such con spicuous spectacles as this one at Astoria. . WILL COST A TJLVt. ' NEW YOBS, Nov. ' 9. Nelson P, report os the "City Beautiful" plans. The whole scheme, he said, would cost $86,808,000. The plan for beautifying the city consists chiefly in widening and extending the principal avenues of greater New, York. The report will be considered at a later date. FOOTBALL FOOTBALL TODAY-. F. C.

PRESCOTT, Arte., Nov. 9.Robert Mather, president of the Rook Island system, here last night declared to the Lewis, a city engineer, 'has put in aAssociated Press representative that he emphatically endorsed President Roost velt's policies for the government regu lation of raidroads. "I believe," he said, "that a uniform system of federal regulation of rail roads would be advantageous to both the roads and the people. Certainly no railroad la the country which Is conduct ing its affairs honestly need fear the in auguration of such plan as is proposed by the President, but even honest roads sre seriously menaced by spurns of legislation whtoh have been so numer ous of late In various states. "The trouble is that peopls grow ex cited over the revelations of some rail road affairs, who have been guilty of rebating or other infractions of the law, and become unduly . radical the result being that all roads alike become the objects of their hostility without dis crimination." .
