THE WEATHER Western Oregon and Washington Increasing cloudiness, followed by rain. i THE DRUMMERS SAY SO. Astoria has always maintained that she held her own, as a fairly live cen ter for business and commerce, with any like community in the Northwest, and that she speaks by the card is proven daily by the casual testimony of the drum mers who throng here constantly. They say she is in better busines shape than lots of her compeers, and what is more, is one of the best "payers" on the circuit north of Cali fornia. This proof is first-class in quality and ample enough in quantity and coherency and moves us to stick to the cheerful text of our original claim. It is a good thing for a town or city to cultivate this assurance that its business and prospects are all right and that it is holding its place in the scale of 'expansion, with its fellows; it begets nerve at home and respect abroad, and keeps us continually in the minds of those who are look ing for locations of the sort Good local cheer is an asset of no mean value and costs nothing to cultivate so long as it has a decent and recog nizable standard to build upon, such as we have, and such as we intend to maintain. . . i ' NEBRASKA SETS PACE. The Bryan pace in the Presidential race has been set by the State Demo cratic convention of Nebraska, in the most unequivocal fashion. Just how it is to be maintained remains to be seen. It has been set a time or two before, but has turned to a laggard gait that but emphasized the defeat wrought for it. There are, in history, numberless instances of men who have dwelt long in the public eye, but who have never attained to the fiat endorsement of that public to such an extent as to have great public trusts thrust upon them; and Mr. Bryan is in that class politically and will remain there so long as he lives and talks. He is an interesting figure and genuinely respected throughout the country; but he lacks something that begets suc cess, without which he will always linger on the normal plane of his somewhat ambiguous title of . the "great Commoner," a status that looms pitifully small in this land of Commoners, who differentiate only with the sizes of their bank accounts; a distinction that even William Jen nings must soon lose-if he does not abate his really conspicuous accumu v SCANDINAVIAN-AMERICAN SAV. BANK Courteous and Accommodating Liberal Methods. . .Conservative Management ciety than the other untold millions of his fellows, and his puny resistance to its edicts is one of the supreme follies of the hour; the world grins sardonically at his frantic claims and violent expressions, and plods its grim way to better things, howsoever slowly they may come. Averbusch is a type of its incredible failure as a cult, and no glory his miserable fcl lows shall attribute to him shall ever wipe out the infinite sacrifice of his young life. THE BITTER ENDING. There is a profound and convinc tng lesson in tbe desolate, pauper burial of the young Jewish anarchist, Lazarus Averbusch, at Chicago. It should sink into the receptive soul of every young man in America and warn him against the danger, futility and shame of taking over the abnor mal doctrine and habit of that des' perate creed. It should open his eyes to the fundamental proposition that society, with all its wrongs, hazards, incongruities, shams and shames, is not to be warped into any prescriptive mould that may be set for it on the moment; that time, and the mutations of time, alone can con vict and clear it of its faults and follies. The history of mankind is writ very plainly and this is one of its simplest rescripts. Anarchy is the vainest of all the manias, and as detestable as it is vain. It's most devoted adherent bears nothing more from the laches of so- JAPAN LOADING UP. The tight little empire of Japan seems to be loading up with prospec tive trouble, and to the man on this side of the Pacific she seems to be biting oft more than she can chew,' let alone digest. With China putting up a nasty front and bucking the ar bitrary "little brown man" vindic tively and "for keeps"; with Russia quietly, but rapidly, accumulating money and stores and re-forming her army and navy for a new and tre mendous campaign of reprisal; and the United States of America still to be cuffed into a condition of subserv ience to this modern, but fore shortened, trans-Pacilic Achilles, it would seem probable that the husky and dominant Asiatic is going to get more than a "wounded heel"; that his toes will be steppon on, his back wrenched, his face punched, and his olar plexus disconcerted generally, be fore he is through with his self-sought engagements. But his grit is to be admired, all the same. And if he is sues from the melee with any sort of grace at all, he will be accorded all the honors of war, and then some "SIS IN NEW YORK." There is always a feeling of rest, contentment and simplicity ia the far away country villages and cross-road hamlets far from the hum and bustle of city life. There is a trustfulness that admits of open doors and hospi table welcome. A newcomer is looked upon as a friend until proven other wise. Each individual in the little town knows the movements of his friends and neighbors. Down in In diana, in the Southwest part of the State is a little hamlet with its cross roads, postomce, blacksmith shop, old fashioned tavern and the usual brick court house. This is the home of Sis" the generous-hearted, frolicsome Hoosier girl who is forced by cir cumstances, from romping the streets of her native village to tread the cemented sidewalks of New York City, where she becomes the butt of ridicule. Her sallies of wit, as she gets back at her tormentors soon it appears that she is outgrow ing her provicialisms and as the women marges from the child, she rapidly adapts herself to her sur roundings and becomes a self-made woman. The Tom Boy returns to her Indiana home a lady of culture when she replaces the old latch string with an electric bell and the rag car pet gives way to rugs on hardwood floors. It's a pure, sweet play brim ming with fun. "Sis in New York" comes to the Astoria Tfheatre, Satur day, March 7th. SUNDAY NIGHT ATTRACTION. On Sunday evening, March 8th, the big sensational melodrama, "No Mother to Guide Her," will be the attraction at the Astoria Theatre. The piece tells a story of strong heart in terest. Though bordering at times upon the extremely sensational, still, there is throughout the action said to be plenty of laughter providing com edy interspersed, and there is is noth ing inconsistent or unnatural in the production. The management has provided the play with special scenery and ingenious mechanical effects. One of the most pleasing features of the show is the large number of special ties that are given, j This is a play that will please the ladies as well as the ga'Iery gods. THE ELECTRICAL INDUSTRY There is no apparent limit to the various things the electric current is asked to do. From shearing sheep and dogs and plucking ducks, to the other extreme of making music and the production of diamonds lies a multitude of uses for the mysterious force. Electricity is, or can be, used in every plane of life, in every pro fession, all trades and in all amuse mcnts. Twelve electric omnibuses in Phil adclphia have proven commercial success. The number will be in creased to fifty as soon as possible. Five thousand electric ftatirons are produced every week at the Lynn, Mass., factory of the General Elec trie Company. A 50,000 volt, 40-mile transmission line supplies electric power to Min neapolis from the St. Croix River. At a substation at the city limits the voltage is reduced to 13,800 at which pressure the various stations and sub stations of the Minneapolis Electric Company are supplied. Sometimes it is desirable to plate large castings with copper or other metal but it is impractical because of the large sized vat which would be necessary. The new method of ap plying the electrolyte is to use a paint brush attached to one pole of the source current. A smooth, ad herent and strong coating of metal may thus be built up to any desired thickness. This process has been found successful in plating with silver gold, copper and nickel. In the Cincinnati city hospital typ hoid patients are no longer subjected to the old ice-water baths when their temperature reaches a dangerous point. Under the new method the patient is first sponged off with ice water; then a wet sheet is wrapped about the body and the blast from an electric fan is turned on. Recent ex periments have proven this method far superior to the old Baptist treat ment The drinking water of Philadelphia! is taken from the Schuylkill River. It has been found that at a certain point this water contains two and a half millions of bacteria to a cubic centimeter. After a thorough strain ing it contains from 253,000 to 708,- 000 bacteria; after ozonization, by electricity, it contains only 5 to 55. Seven brass horns are being in stalled in the Grand Central station at New York for the announcing of trains. The operator in his booth will announce the trains in a tele phone receiver; the tones, greatly magnified, are reproduced from the horns in the waiting rooms. Up to the middle of September the General Electric ;Company has sold total of 1023 steam turbines. The company entered upon the construc tion of steam turbine factories in the fall of 1902 and the first turbine was shipped from the works in February, 1903. That was four and a half years ago. I he Wi turbines sola in the interval averaged approximately 1000 kw. capacity each, making agrand total of about 1,000,000 kw. capacity. Prices have averaged close to $30 per kw., so that the cash value of sales aggregated over $30,000,000. At the present time the company's turbine business is running about $8,000,000 a year, or say 12 per cent, of total sales. MISS EMMA GOLDMAN Has Been Resting Quietly In the ' Windy City.

She has been hero since last Wednesday night. Miss Goldman was in good humor when she was discovered by a r; porter. The police had not teen her, but Assistant Chief Schuettlcr had said he was not seeking her. "Of course I did not expect to be found," she said. "I am too well ac quainted with police stupidity to ex pect such a thing as that. I expect to go out tomorrow and go about my business as usual, and if the police want me, of course, they will arrest me. But I can't see what charge they can make against me." "How about the report that you are liable to be deported by the gov ernment under the law forbidding the admission of foreign anarchists to this country?" "There's nothing to it. It - was talked of when I returned from Europe last fall but the government authorities could find no law for it." "Are you naturalized American cit izen?" ' 'I am an American citizen. My father was naturalized when I was 17 years old. That made me an Ameri can when I became of age." Miss Goldman said that she would go right on with her plans for meet ings and would hold them unless stopped by the police. However, she found her way blocked last night by inability to secure a hall. The owners of all public halls in the city have been notified that the license will be revoked if the case of any one who allows Miss Goldman to speak. Best Healer in the World. Rev. F. Starbird, of East Raymond, Maine, says: "I have used Bucklen's Arnica Salve for several years, on my old army wound, and other obsti nate sores, and find it the best healer in the world. I use it too with great success in my veterinary business." Price 25c at Chas. Rogers & Son's drug store. The Old Reliable Painless Chicago Dentists Cor. Commercial and Eleventh Sts. ASTORIA, ORE.
