back tide of the Columbia;! and had
it not been for the timely assistance
rendered him by Mr. Sinnott, the
company's night watchman on the
dock, he would be beyond human air
this morning. He was perfectly sober,
but missed hi range of the dock-edge
as he approached the steamer, that
end of the great dock being very dark,
and went over with a yell that meant
all he meant to express.

ACT OF AN IHSANE
MAN
MAN BECOMES DEMENTED
AND ASSAULTS RELATIVE
THEN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
BOTH DOING WELL AT THE
HOSPITAL.
A sad case of attempted homicide
and suicide occurred in Uniontown
on Sunday afternoon which resulted
in serious wounds being inflicted on
the victim, and on the assailant who,
at last accounts, was in a precarious
condition.
From the best accounts obtainable
Vaino Riippa was visiting his cousin.
Konrad Koskcla, and both were dis
cussing old school days, and their
boyish experiences, when suddenly
Koskcla, who had a knife in his
hands, attacked Mr. Riippa with
the weapon and attempted to cut hi
throat, succeeding in inflicting a
severe gash in same. Seeing the re
sults of his attack, in an insane
frenzy, the assailant then attempted
to commit suicide. Using the same
weapon he slashed his own throat,
and then struck himself in the abdo
men, in an attempt to disembowel
himself which he practically succeed
cd in doing.
Koskela's brother hearing the com
motion entered the room and grasping
the situation, secured a broom and
knocking the weapon from his broth
er's hand overpowered the weakened
man. The ambulance was immediate
ly secured and both men were taken
to the hospital where immediate at
tention was given them. Prompt at
tention and good care has evidently
saved the lives of both, as, at a late
hour last night, both were doing well
and on the road to recovery. The
operations necessary were successful,
and they passed a restful night on
Sunday.
Koskella, who is an industrious,
steady man, and who has been em
ployed in Wilson's boat yards, has
shown a morbid disposition for the
past week, and it is more than likely
that at the crucial moment, during the
visit of his cousing his mind gave
way and the attempted murder and
suicide was the result. The unfor
tunate circumstance is regretted by
all who know both parties and, the
hopes given out that both will recover
are gratefully received by the friends
of both.
The editor of the Memphis, Tenn..
"Times", writes: "In my opinion
Foley's Honey and Tar is the best
remedy for coughs, colds and lung
trouble, and -to my own personal
knowledge Foley's Honey and Tar
hat accomplished many permanent
cures that have been little short of
marvelous." Refuse any but ae gen

Astoria's Reliable Clothier
AT THE STAR.
Last evening an entire new bill was
put on the Star Theatre, by the
Travelle Comedy and Vaudeville Co.
The great Travelle, assisted by Miss
Lillian Landers in their expert pistol
shooting, pastel drawings and sing
ing is something entirely new here
and should not be missed. Travelle
is the absolute master shadowist in
the world and his work keeps the au
dience in a roar of laughter all th
time.
Jim Row, the tramp comedian is
good. Jim needs no introduction to
an Astoria audience. Marie McCourt,
the dainty soubrette, does some excel
lent work. Violet Fuller, the girl
from Montana, is fuly up to the ex
pectations of the audience and the
illustrated songs, "Somewhere," is re
ceived with loud applause as sung by
Miss Lillian Landers.
The two reels of moving pictures
are without any doubt the very best
thing in that line ever put on the
screen and should be seen to be ap
preciated. Then you'll want' to go
again. '
