TRAINS ON A. A C YESTERDAY
ENCOUNTER A COUPLE OF
DISCONCERTING MISHAPS
There was considerable confusion
in Astoria's train service yesterday
which as a general thing is so uui
formly regular, that it caused a good
deal of disturbance in business as
wet) as traveling circles hereabout.
It seems that the Portland express
which was due here at 11:40 a. iu,
was held up at the easterly mouth of
tunnel No. 1, this side of Rainier, by
a bad slide. This was of course, ob
viated, by the transfer of passengers
and baggage when the up train, which
left here at 8:20 in the morning ar
rived there, good despatch being used
in the passing of the big groups of
passengers and impedimenta.
The trip to Portland was thus eas
ily continued with a possible loss of
an hour or more of time in reaching
the metropolis. But the train coming
this way did not have such good luck.
After running, or rather backing
down the line for about a mile in
this direction, or properly speaking,
to Pyramid Siding, where the engine
was detached and run into the switch
so as to get it on the hauling end of
the train, which was the proper thing
to do and of course, the safest. As
as the engine entered upon the main
line coming tack to the train, it
jumped the rails and sloughed just
enough to make the mishap a diffi
cult one ot remedy. Thus, it was
that she did not get down to Astoria,
on the engine sent from here to bring
in the train, until 6 o'clock last even
ing.
This train turned around at this
point and went back up the line in
place of the train that should have
left op at 6:10 o'clock, if the sched
ule had not been interferred with.
Jnst what hick befel this east-bound
train i problematical, as is the arriv
al of the night down train from the
big city on the Willamette. There
were no losses nor Injuries, save to
the passengers, in the matter of time
and feelings, all of which will cure
tself in due time. 1

Good Cough Medicine For Children.
The season for coughs and colds
is now at hand and too much care
cannot be used to protect the chil
dren. A child is much more likely
to contract diphtheria or scarlet
fever when he has a cold. Th:
nicker vou cure bis cold the less
the risk. Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy ts the sole reliance of many
mothers, and few of those who have
tried it are willing to use any other.
Mrs. F. F. Starcher, of Ripley, W.
Va., says, "I have never used any
thing ' other than Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy for my children and
it has always given good satisfac
tion. This remedy contains no
opium or other narcotic and may be
civen as confidently to a child as to
an adult. For sale by Frank Hart

CANDIDATE SMITH TAKES A
FAREWELL FUNG AT AS
TORIAN GETS ANSWER
In full accord with the "dinky" tac
tics of his campaign and as the last
of a series of "baby-acts' perpetrated
by Candidate A. M. Smith, the fol
lowing letter was sent broadcast
throughout the city yesterday, in the
hope that it might inspire enough
pity for him to achieve his election
today. The Morning Astorian is
weary of doirg all the scrapping and
eliciting only these paltry and puerile
pleadings as counter-plays; but as it
is, so be it; we are going to win
anyway. The letter reads as follows:
My Dear Sir:
"On account of the unprovoked
and unjustifiable assault that has
been made upon me by the Morning
Astorian in the present campaign, I
feel warranted in personally writing
to assure you that its malicious at
tempt to defame my name and char
acter as well as the credit and stand
ing of the city, is as false and un
founded as it is vicious.
"During the 20 years that I have
lived in Astoria, it has been my con
stant endeavor to act honorably and
justly towards all men, and during
the time that I held the official posi
tion of city attorney, I worked faith
fully and honestly to advance the
welfare of the city and to make it
an attractive and desirable place in
which to live. All my interests are
now centered In this city and if I
should be elected, I will devote my
time and energy towards making it a
greater, more prosperous and more
pleasing city and shall do all in my
powerto dispel discord and partisan
ship and uphold morality and de
cency. "I am deeply grateful for the many
acts of kindness heretofore extend
ed to me by the good people of As
toria, and I assure yon that I shall
always appreciate your good will and
.respect far more than any official
position. :
"Trusting that you will not be mis
lead by the slander hurled against
me, I am very sincerely yours,
"A; M. SMITH."
' The Morning Astorian has no bit
ter or vindictive feeling toward Mr.
Smith. On the other band, it has for
him personally only the kindliest feel
ing; but it has a public duty to per
form. The Morning Astorian, as
well as Mr. Smith, has lived for
many years in Astoria. All it has,
and all that it ever expects to have',
are identified with Astoria and its fu
ture. If Astoria prospers, the Astor
ian expects to prosper. If 'Astoria
does not prosper, the Astorian can
not expect to prosper, and it cannot
change its residence. Its destiny is
irrevocably allied with that of As
toria.
As a daily paper in the community
the Morning Astorian has a duty to
perform, other than that of simply
giving the monotonous details of lo
cal happens. It has opinions regard
ing the gvernment of the city, and as
to what its future government should

be. It docs not believe that the gov
ernment of the city for the last few
years has been judicious. Mr. Smith
has been largely identified with that
government, and, in the opinion of
the Morning Astorian,. is more re
sponsible therefor than any .other
person. Such being the case it does
not believe that the future govern
ment should be entrusted to .Mr.
Smith, and believing so, it has not
hesitated to express its belief.
The Morning Astorian believes
that Astoria has a bright future, and
that the chief executive of the city,
as well as the common council, the
water commission and all other de
partments should be composed of the
very best business mm of the city.
and to bring about that result this
paper has expressed its views fairly
and fearlessly and without equivoca
tion. The thousands ot readers ot trie
Morning Astorian who have read it
closely during this campaign are
probably as good judges of this mat
ter as the complaining candidate; and
in closing it may be truthfully said
that the Morning Astorian, with its
pay roll of $20,000 per annum, in
Astoria, is ouite as well qualified 'o
speak to, and for, the people, as the
gentleman in question, and with
quite as much interest at stake in the
city and its future.
