THE COUNCIL, Despite the assurances that are giv en out daily from Democratic sources la this city, that the program of the Common Council, as it is now framed np, bodily, and by committee, there are those in this city, with the exper ience of the long and memorable years wherewith to justify the conclu sion, who hold that every turn that Is to be made by Mayor Smith and his partisan colleagues is to be essential ly and invariably "political." We would rather take another view of it, if it were possible, and shall do so, ontil the cult is too raw for denial; and in the meantime we do not pro pose to say, nor do, anything that shall hamper the council nor any of its members, if it can be avoided. We believe the gentlemen now con stituting the council of Astoria, acting with anything approaching good faith and a desire to see the city redeemed from the extravagance and blunders of the past, are perfectly able to ad-j minister her affairs as the people wish, and entirely to their own cred it; it is the strongest council that has been known here for years, and if the snare and coil of politics can be kept away from the public business, and this same business done on purely business principles, just as it is done in the hundreds of houses and offices throughout the city, daily and hourly, then we shall know what is in store for us. If, on the other hand, Mayor Smith, one of the shrewdest politic ians here, with what bolstering he may have in the semi-circle, seeks to put the administration on a partisan political basis, well and good; we will meet the situation with what clever ness we possess and do all that may counteract and mimfy the results of such a policy. As things stand now, the council is in position to do an immense lot of good in all directions if it shall go about its work unbiased, sincerely and candidly, with the whole city squarely behind it ready to applaud and en courage and endorse. In default of this course "there will be a h -1 of a time in tne oia townr Truth and Quality appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent success and creditable standing. Accor ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs tad Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons Why it is the best of personal and family fixatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. It acts pleasantly and naturally and WE HAVE OUR TROUBLE. Strange as it may appear the Morn ing Astorian "has troubles of its own." So long as all the contributory agencies such as light and power and water and man-service, skilled and unskilled, are available, we have no particular trouble in getting this pa per to its destination, the home of its subscriber and patron; but when any of these things are lacking, the 'loose screw" asserts itself and the justifiable complaint follows fast Yes terday morning we went np against - -1 ..I.- mm,Ainm ' , . , ithat are wont to assail the newspaper part, are known to and approved by ptySIcians,aaltffmmobJecbon-the q able substances.

No wonder the people of the great Northwest love the "Chinook wind!" It is one of those peculiar blessings that is never "mixed"; it is sheer, ab solute, perfect, whenever and wher ever it falls. Its gentle breath pene trates the last faint crevice of nature in which lurks an atom of the evil weather from which the people pray for surcease; its presence, its action, its influence, is complete, swift, sure, and as it blows, the grateful heart re sponse to its lure and finds infinite pleasure in full relief, fixed assurance, in the softening, healing, comforting play of the rare wind.

With all things restored to our use and decent weather prevailing, we hope such contretemps will not soon hinder us nor annoy the people who deal tn vour especial wares. IMVASN'T MY HORSE.

NEW YORK, Jan. lS.-Scarch is being made for Daniel Kelleher, an electrician, who mysteriously disap peared from the reception ward at St, Vincents Hospital yesterday. He was delirious at the time, after recovering from an attack of pneumonia. How made his way from the institution and passed the orderlies stationed at all entrances is a complete puzzle. He was thinly clad at the time and wore pair of slippers, this notwithstand ing the drizzling rain which fell on the snow covered streets and slippery walks. JUMP FROM FIRE. NEW YORK, Jan.lS.-Two per sons were injured by jumping to the sidewalk during a fire in a tenement house on the East Side early today, Other tenants had narrow escaped and a fourteen year old boy, Maurice Weisenfelt, was found unconscious in smokefilled room and dragged to safety by a fireman.

Prior to us ing them, I suffered a great deal from dull, heavy pains in my back and kid neys, this trouble having resulted from a severe cold.

' The State of Oregon yesterday en deavored to prove in justice eourt be fore Judge Goodman that ""Vcgetabl Charlie" Lee should be punished in asmuch as he had inhumanely dealt with his white horse by compelling it to a diet of starvation, and had added to the injury by leaving the animal out in all the snow and cold of last week. Through his attorney, Judge Tay lor, Charlie endeavored to prove that all this was foolishness, and that the whole matter had its origin in a case of mistaken identity that it was someone else's horse that had been so severely dealt with. The whole ques tion finally hinged on the identity of the horse, and as Charlie insisted by himself and his witnesses that his white horse was sleek and fat and was in even friskly condition, the court adjourned the case until today to the end that Charlie might bring his steed in for inspection. If Charlie can find his horse, then all's well with him If he can't it may look as if he is guilty. tot the prosecution which was conducted by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Howard M. Brownell El mer Millet, and the Bokalas, father and son, all residents of the Smith Point region, testified that a white horse known to them to belong to Charlie has been wondering about Smith's Point in a starving condition: During the cold weather this horse passed much of its time in the Bokala yard, pawing in the snow. It was barely able to stand np. The younger Bokala finally took the horse down to Charlie's stable and tied it there. Thus far no one has doubted that it was Charlie's horse. But then the dclense had its in ning. Charlie admitted all about this white horse which had been left out in the cold and which was starving But it was not his horse. He didn't know whose it was. Then followed a young man who took the stand in Charlie's interest. With much volubility and much loy alty to Charlie he testified that he, too, had frequently seen this strange white horse, and that t few days ago some one out of kindness had shot and killed it over near Young's Bay bridge. But he knew it wasn't Charlie's horse, though he couldn't tell why he knew. Also he testified to the large qauntities of feed, oats, hay and barley, that he frequently delivered at Charlie's place. Charlie's defense thus appeared very strong. But, why didn't he bring in his own horse? Where was his own horse? Charlie didn't know, This looked suspicious and very strange. Police Officer Wilson and Sheriff Pomeroy looked in Charlie's stable and in the pig pen and in Charlie's house, but they couldn't find hide or hair of Charlie's horse. Charlie's counsel said they would be able to find it by this morning, doubtless. ' . If they do, then the question arises, to whom did the strange horse be' long which was suposedly shot to end its misery? Charlie apparently admitted on the stand that the horse which had been standing and starving in the Bokala yard was his, and thus the case seems complete as against him; but all such minor considerations as this will doubtless fade away and be forgotten if Charlie can perform a coup d' etat today by suddenly spinging his own fiery white steed on the astonished court. But the dirt and filth and the IS, 20 or 30 pigs that lived about the feet of the white horse in Charlie's stable all this is another story. it GMrardelll's Cocoa is a food drink for young and old that pleases the palate strengthens the body builds up the nerves quickens the mind.

Holmes of Cary.Ind. have been freed from the Lake Coun ty jail, after being imprisoned for more than five months. An amazing lapse of justice which has resulted in their incarceration through two terms of court was revealed when the new county officials took hold. The men were locked up last Summer on minor offenses snd were too poor to furn ish bonds. It is said that the crimi nal court docket is congested. A similar condition is to be avoided in Cook County, 111. The states at torney is doing sway with the over crowded condition of the jail snd is jutting an end to the necessity oi keeping men waiting for trial for three months because of the fact that the criminal docket has not been up to date. Many little lives have been ssved by Foley's Honey snd Tsr, for coughs, colds, croup snd whooping cough.
