OUR "FOURTH" L Astoria is going in for a home cele bration on the coming Fourth of July. The Clerks' Union of the city has been given the reins of control and procedure and the members of that organization, knowing everyone and everything likely to conduce to the success of this pleasure venture, and 4iaving the merchants and people behind them, will make a quick and thorough campaign for the achieve ment of a glorious day and a rousing success. Let no man take thought of the Regatta. For the time being at least that is a barren proposition. It may come up later in the season, but un til the Fourth of July has been reg istered as among the best disposed holidays in Astorian history, the Re gatta may be considered a closed matter. We would like to see the program for the Fourth largely given over to marine sports. They are of Astoria, Astorian, and can hardly be dis pensed with. And in any and all events we are with the movement for the smashing good celebration; one that will draw its thousands and tens of thousands of people and give them their money's worth of unalloyed good time. tinning this tribute. Portland has ab soHitcly nothing to yield in return, but rather seeks to deprive this coin munity of every vestige of advantage and process for accumulation that be longs here of right; to thwart, deny, and discredit the city and port, the harbor, all their possibilities for com mercial development, to leave them barren and futile. And just why As toria should lick the hand that deals her the hardest, the most frequent and telling, of the stiff blows, is a problem in bull-headed assininity as yet unanswered. We have heard the protests from Portland against these views; we know them to be fictions. We want no more of them. We have been bamboozled and led by the nose, and cajoled, until we are laughing at our selves for the sheer access of our own stupidity. The day of adjust ment is at hand, and there is no more effective doctrine of reprisal at our service than to boycott the Portland merchant to the tune of $1,000,000 a year. If we cannot find "other mar kets of supply, then set up our own wholesale depots and keep the pro fits at home. We do our own bank ing; why not do all else?. To'Article Appearing in the New York World THE MEASURE OF LUCK. While a hundred communities throughout the country are practi cally ruined by dreadful visitations of rain and flood and drought and fire and other agencies of commercial wreckage, Astoria has but little to complain of in the way of weather conditions; and absolutely nothing when comparative measures are made as between our safe, comfortable and busy status and the desperate ant? unhappy burdens thrust upon our far neighbors. We have a backward season; the weather is gloomy; crops are un promising; business is dull; the shad ow of the clouds have darkened our spirits and gotten on to our nerves; but what does this amount to in the face of what our fellows are going through?. They are facing ruin and death daily and the present load they are staggering under will be drawn out through the years of dogged and courageous battling for what they have lost. .i -J It is only by taking cognizance of the relative burdens we are carrying with those that are pressing our neighbors that we may realize the lightness and littleness of our own. Astoria is all right in a thousand ways, and she knows it. EDITORIAL SALAD Crop prospects have never been better, and as the Republican presi dential candidates are all first class the political outlook is equally promising. More men work for the United States Steel Company than for the United States Government. No won der the steel trust is so hard to regulate. Mobile gave the Yon Yonson dele gates a majority of two to one over the Bryan ticket. The sentiment of Mobile is that a third licking may be unavoidable, but is not desirable. A spider eats 27 times its weight in one day. Among the things for which a man can be thankful, at the present price of marketing, is that he is built on another plan. David B. Hill will leave in July for his first visit to Europe. Mr. Hill is a Democrat still, so still that he pre fers to be out of the country during another Bryan racket. DOING THEIR DUTY. Scores of Astoria Readers Are Learn ing the Duty of the Kidneys. THE PENAL DOLLAR. Astoria is worth $1,000,000 a year to Portland!. Portland is worth nil to Astoria per annum!. What's the matter with striking a balance?. It cannot be struck to parallel the basis of the million; therefore it must be arrived at on the negative side of the account. As Portland conlributes nothing to this city, things should be so arranged that Astoria shall mean nothing to the metropolis until Port land shall bid richly for that which is now given her gratuitously. The penal dollar is the only dollar that begets a realizing sense of the equities between communities; the dollar that comes freely and gener . ously is not accounted properly until it ceases to come; then its actual value is quickly determined and appreciat ed. We might spend ten millions a year at Portland and it would be tak en simply as ordinary commercial' tribute. Astoria stultifies herself by con- To filter the blood is the kidneys' duty. When they fail to do this the kid neys are sick. Backache and many kidney ills fol low; Urinary trouble, diabetes. Doan's Kidney Pills cure them all. A. P. Maney, Hawthorne Terrace, Portland, Oregon, says: "My work subjects me to much jolting and as a result my kidneys became disordered, causing sharp knife-like pains in my back. This trouble bothered me a great deal while working and being desirous to rid myself of it, I decided to give Doan's Kidney Pills a trial procurng a supply. I found quick re- ner irom tneir use ana finally a com plete cure. Although this was over three years ago there has never been a return of the trouble since, clearly showing that when Doan's Kidney Pills cure, they cure permanently."

DENIES ALL THE CHARGES Bryan Says if the Contribution to Judge Parker Was Made, it Was Without His Knowledge, and Proven Will be Returned. LINCOLN', Neb., June S.-ln statement given last night to the As sociated press, William J. Bryan re plies to an article that appeared week ago in the New York World charging that Mr. Bryan was the beneficiary of a campaign contrihu tion made by Thomas I Ryan. Mr Bryan declares if Mr. Ryan mad the contribution it was without his knowledge or consent and he repeats his former statement that when it is proven to him that Mr. Ryan did make the contribution he will see that the money is returned to the donor, Mr. Bryan says: "I have just read the World's story charging, first, that my brother-in law Mr. Allen, chairman of the Democra tic committee had a conference with Mr. Sheehan in 1904 in regard to the campaign funds. "Second that Mr. Sheehan as Mr Ryan's attorney secured from Mr Ryan $20,000 for the Nebraska cam paign. "Third that Mr. Ryan made the contribution to secure my open and unqualified support of Judge Farkcr. "Fourth, that to disguise the source of the contribution, Mr. Ryan gave the check to Mr. Sheehan and that Sheehan gave his checks to Mr. Allen. "Chairman Allen and Mr. Dahlman the Nebraska member of the National Democratic Committee have already denied the World's charges and stat ed that the only money received came from the National Committee but I desire to add tthe following statement: "Mr. Allen says he never saw cither Mr. Sheehan or Mr. Ryan and I have no reason to doubt his word. If Mr. Ryan contributed to the Nebraska campaign it was not with my know icage or consent. v nue i had but a remote personal interest in the Ne braska campaign that year, I am in terested in Nekraska politics and am so interested in National Politics that I am not willing to be in the slight est degree obliged to any favor-seek ing corporation. If, therefore, the World will secure either from Mr. Sheehan or Mr. Ryan a statement, or prove in any other way, that Mr Ryan gave to Mr. Sheehan or to any one else or to the National Com mittee any sum whatever with the understanding that the sum would be used in thte Nebraska campaign I shall have that amount returned to Mr. Ryan. "As to the charge that my sup port of Judge Parker was purchased I need only say that I announced my support of Judge Parker immed iately after the St. Louis convention and that the support was open and unqualified from the convention until the polls closed. 1 had opposed his nomination, but he had no more loyal supporter durin gthe campaign. I was in correspondence with him and both on the stump and with my pen rendered all tthe assistance I could. While the World was selling its columns to the republican com mittee to be quietly nli'satcd to a room back of the kitchen, that his five fellow boarders might not he aroused. Then the contagion spread, nuil Bessie Dougta was striken with the malady. She, too, wa placed in private puar tors, unknown to the Board of Health and one of the five hoarders, suddenly coining upon Osborn in his back roam retreat, gave the alarm, with the result that three of the boarders left for parts unknown, and two hied themsehes to n nearby barn. Still the Board of Health was un aware of the contagion in the Doug las household, and it continued to spread, the latest victim being the little six y.-ar-old daughter of fi, K llaviland, who occupied the upstairs portion of the boardinghouse. Then a mysterious telephone message noti fied Dr. I'ohl of conditions illegally withheld from her for nearly a month and the attest of Douglas and Havi land followed Yesterday. uaviiatul explained his neglect to notify the Board of Health of the contagion by asserting his belief in Christian Science, but Douglas offer ed no excuse, and was stubborn, the imposition of a heavier fine on him being the result. After Douglas voiced his threat to "rot in jail" be fore paying the fine, he was led to jail by Clerk Thomas Jefferson Cosey. Later Mrs. Douglas appeared with mJicient money to secure her hus band's rcleajc, but he remained ab- lurate, and is still incarcerated. A Ft W SPbUALS SOMETHING EXTRA FINE WILL BREAK WILL. Of V. II. Caldwell Leaving An Estate Valued at $75,000. ALBANY, Or., June 5 A contest has been instituted in the Probate Court here to break the will of the late V. 11. Caldwell, a Linn County pioneer, who died April 8, leaving an estate valued at $75,000. George W. Caldwell, a Portland attorney, a on and one of the chief beneficiaries of the deceased, is charged with writing the will and using undue influence and over-persuasion to induce his father to sign it. The objections were signed by Almeda Caldwell, youngest daughter of the deceased, and who. spite of the fact that she is an in valid, was bequeather only $500. Caldwell left 14 children, and seven of them arc bequeather only $500 each. Bequest from $1XX) to $4500 each are left the other seven children, who are also to share equally the estate not specifically bequeathed. George W. Caldwell and William Caldwell are named executors with out bond, and are made trustees without bond of $10,000 to be given to charity, their decision in its dispusi- ion to be absolute. It is claimed in the objections that Caldwell was 77 years of age when he signed the will last .November, and was unable to read it or understand its provisions. It is alleged that he stated many times after the will was signed that he made no will, and ome of the heirs assert that he never knew that he had signed it.

PORTLAND, June S.-Two sweet hearts, victims of smallpox consecu tively, a well-filled boardinghouse emptied by the affliction, and mystery surrounding the publicity given the contagion, figure in the police court case which ended this morning by W, E. Douglas and G. K. Haviland being fined by Judge Cameron at the in stigation of Dr. Pohl. Douglas, upon being sentenced to pay $25 for with holding the misfortune of his house hold, said he would "rot in jail" rather than pay the fine, but Haviland ac cepted his fine of $10 with good grace. The case centers about Pessie Douglas and Charles Osborn, sweet hearts, who live at 694 Guild street, where W. E. Douglas, Bessie's father, conducts a boardinghouse. Three weeks ago, the evidence brought forth, Charles Osborn was taken J down with smallpox, and he was side, N. C. Sold under guarantee at Charles Rogers & Son's drug store. 25c.
