Smith, a ttrangcr in the city, who was working in one of the saloon, wa arrested and taken to the police station where he said he got the beer from the barkeeper, and wa taking it to a customer. He is being held a a witness until today when Prosecuting Attorney McCue will investigate the whole affair, and act accordingly, Bill No. 33 F.arly yesterday morning there were thousands of cards distributed all over the city, announcing that Bill No. 332 as the wheel owners bill and asking the voter to defeat it. The plan was a low trick on the part of the up-river men who are fighting to monopolize the fishing industry. The card was intended to confuse the voter, a Bill No. 332 is the measure taken by the Columbia River Salmon Protective Association. Died At St Mary's Captain Thomas Neil, who for the last few year has been forced to re tire from the sea-faring life owing to ill health, died at the St. Mary's hos pital yesterday from a complication of diseases.

John R. Richardson John U, Richardson, age about 34 who died last Saturday at the home of his mother at Amity (Yamhill Co,) Oregon, was formerly a resident of Astoria, being at one time employed by the O. R, & N. and later with the Prael-F.igncr Co, About two year ago he received an attack1 of typhoid fever, which developed recently into dropsy resulting in his death. The de ceased leave a large number of friends and acquaintances in Astoria which will greatly mourn his death. He was a young man of good habits, and of a pleasing appearance, making friends rapidly. Logger Injured- While at work at the camp of the Oregon Timber & Lumber Co., Otto Hanson, a rigging rustler, was se verely injured yesterday. He was hur ried, to the hospital for treatment. An examination by Dr. Henderson showed him to be badly bruised, but no bones broken, and is not danger ously hurt tiulcss he has received in ternal injuries which cannot be posi tively determined. for several days. He was struck in the chest by a large log and which threw him several feet. lie was unconscious for some time after. Tentative Agreement- It was learned yesterday that there is a tentative agreement as between the Clatsop county authorities and the Astoria school board, that in the event of the passage of the County High School law at the polls yester day, for the time being, at least, the tuition in this field coming to the pupil will be furnished at the Astoria High School, which plan, if carried out successfully, will obviate the necessity for large expenditures for buildings and extra teachers, until such time as the county is better pre pared to provide them. Fine Motor Trip The Brothers Sncll, of this city, are devoted to the pleasures of motoring in their smashing little craft, the "Tourist," in which they had a nar row squeak of it on the Columbia bar on Battleship Day, May 20th; and that untoward event docs not deter them in the least from other and further ventures, is proven by the log of the "Tourist" on her last trip. She left this city on Friday night last, for Portland, spent Saturday there, and returned home on Sunday evening, after a delightful and successful run on the two rivers which was immense ly enjoyed by the whole crew, to-wit: J. D. Sncll, captain; Sig Owen, pilot; A. V. Snell, engineer; Will Wilson, mate; Karl Osmundson, steward; and Leonard Owen, cook. Whistle Nuisances- There is a steadily growing com plaint of the unnecessary steam whistling done on the Astoria water front. And it is directed to the steamers that repeat their pilot calls over and over again, coming in from sea, and down the river, and espec ially at night, when the sick, the tired, the nervous, are imposed upon by the needless calls that go crack ing through all the walls of the city to the discomfort of those whose rest is the price of their health or their recovery from illness. There is not a pilot on duty in this city, for either sea or river service that needs to be called so persistantly; every one of them knows when his ship is due and is on the qui vive for her, or has ar ranged to be called when she arrives in or down,' And unless there is an abatement of it, some steps are going to be taken that will reduce the nuisance' by law. The Mystery Deepens The sail boat bearing the name "Irene, of San Francisco", which was picked up by Captain Evanson, of the Tongue Point launch Lester, on Saturday evening, turns out to have belonged to the schooner Irene, now loading lumber at Knappton, and had been taken for use by the first mate of that vessel (whose name cannot yet be ascertained) and who, with the young son of Forerrtan Elbon, of the Columbia mills at that place, came over to this city, to do some trading, and who have not been heard of since, The unhappy conclusion being that the craft was struck by a squall on the return trip to Knappton, and both lives sacrificed. The father of the lad, and Captain Mitchell, of the Irene arc moving every agency to de termine the exact conditions, but are almost hopeless of any other issue than the one suggested above. Upon its face the story tells of two more fatalities in the bay, and there is noth ing, as yet, to qualify or mitigate, the dread certainty of it. "The Widow. Mite" Kx-Senator Gcarin, while in this city, the other day, told a bevy of friends a little story of sheer gene roMty on the part of a modern woman, a widow, that will stand for publica tion, if only to accentuate its rarity in these days of universal grab and graft. His legal firm represented the estate of a certain gentleman well known in Oregon, which was ap praised at the sum of $100,000 or more. Having died intestate, the widow became sole and absolute le gate undr the code of the state, and Mr. Gearin so informed her and ask ed for instruction in the matter of proceeding to secure the whole estate to his client. He was quietly, but frankly, told by the lady that her late husband had three brothers in the East of whom he waa very proud; that they were hard-working men, of families, and fine character; that had her husband lived longer and done as he had always intimated he would do, these three brothers would have been handsomely provided for; and as the sole and faithful representative of that husband, she proposed to see to it that his brothers were made bene ficiaries in the case, and ordered him to divide the property into four equal shares and see that each brother was secured in his share along with what came to her. This tale will bear re telling. PERSONAL MENTION Mr. and Mr. H. W. Jordan, of Klickitat, Wash., are in the city, guests at the home of Captain Charlie Jordan, the brother of the; VVashingtonian.

OFF ASTORIA SCHOONER EVIE RETURNS FROM INITIAL TRIP WITH 4000 POUNDS OF MARKET ABLE PROVENDER-WILL GO OUT AGAIN NEXT WEEK. The re-inforccd schooner Evie, of the Elmore fleet, and under charter for deep-sea trawling off the Colum bia bar, returning to port yesterday morning, from her first quest, and had 4000 pounds of marketable fish to her credit. Captain Hirsch is in com mand, and the handling of the beam- less trawl, a successful, patented de vice, is directed by one of its owners, Mr. Obee. All concerned are very much pleased with the venture and the work will be prosecuted steadily and vigorously during the summer. The log of the Evie for the trip shows that two hauls were made with the great net and that 9000 pounds of live matter was taken from the sea, a great portion of it being unuseable for market and returned "whence it came!." the available fish boxed and shipped to Portland on the steamer Elmore last night, and the balance going to storage at once. The mar ket catch was made up of black and ling cod, halibut, hake, red-snapper, English sole, with four varieties of flounder, and 100 pounds of crabs as seasoning. The first haul was made after a trawl of one hour and three-quarters and the second after a three hour run, and are counted as indicative of the sureness of the business, all things considered, especially the imperfec tions of equipment and the newness of the work in these waters with this gear. A good many curious things weer brought to the surface and a number of them will be given over fro exhibition purposes, and went for ward with the Portland shipment. The work is arduous, and at times dan gerous, but this will be tnimified as rapidly as conveniences can be ap plied and adequate gear brought into I play. The voyage ended with a profit that augurs well for its continuance and an incentive to put it on a bet ter and bigger basis; a consummation that is already provided for and will be effective early next week. It is the purpose of the projectors to put the business on a footing that will ensure larger catches at least three times a day. The bcamless nets and brackets proved a genuine suc cess and there is nothing to prevent its 'constant repetition. The refuse matter which has to go back to the depths consists of shells , star-fish, monks, skates and jelly-fish and other inedibles, not forgetting an oc casional shark or two, all of which contributes to the measure of getting the haul on board but nothing to the market profit of the enterprise. The first trip of the Evie in this behalf goes to the record as entire ly satisfactory to the men whose money, property and skill are involv ed and that means a good deal when it is figured to what lengths the in dustry may be carried. The utter absence of salmon from the hauls made by the Evie are ac counted for on the very practical score that the first work was done beyond the range of the salmon run outside. HERE'S THE PROOF. But Besides Catarrh, Hyomei Cures Grip, Coughs and Colds, Croup and Asthma Read, if You Are a Sufferer From Catarrh, Reason and Reflect "My wife and I will swear that Hyomei cured me of the worst case of catarrh that ever existed. I used to cough constantly at night, and had a dropping in the throat, which kept me awake a great deal. I raised thick phlegm, and was in a horrible condition. However, I am entirely cured solely through the use of Hyomei." Dr. Philip Z. Hart, Laconia, N. H. Reader, this is one of thousands of testimonials praising the marvelous curative power of Hyomei. If you are a sufferer, why not try it? T. F. Laurin guarantees it, and will re fund your money if it fails to cure. Hyomei is not a stomach nostrum; it is dry antiseptic and medicated air, and all you have to do to cure any disease of the nose, throat or lungs, is to breathe it in through the Hyomei inhaler. A Hyomei outfit, including a scientific inhaler, only costs $1.00. Get one today. Sub sequent treatment is only 50 cents a bottle., Get one now. T.. F Laurin takes all the risk. He guarantees it.
