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

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.

"Very frequently," says a Ntw York
lawyer, "there Is an element ot tracon
gdouR humor In tbe findings of a Jury.
Tn mt mind, the beat I ever heard to
this connection was the verdict brought
In bv a coroner's Jury In Michigan
who were called upon to pass upon the
case of the sudden death of a merchant
In Lanslnz.
, "Th flndlne was as follows: "We,
the Jury, find from the physician's
statement that the deceased came to
hla death from heart failure, wpenn'
duced by business failure, which was
caused by speculation failure, wnica
was the result of failure to see fat

THE PRIESTESS OF ANARCHY
'Too Well Acquainted With Polks
Stupidity to Expect That They
Would Find Her" la Way She An.
swertd a Reporter,
CHICAGO, March 6.-Miss Emma
Goldman, the so-called priestess
o fanarchy, spent yesterday in Chi
cago, keeping clear of the police
and resting with friends at 970 North
Winchester Avenue. 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.

Arnica Salve for several years, on
my old army wound, and other obsti

success in my veterinary business."
