"SEEK, AND YE SHALL FIND I" The Morning Astorian has alys had a cheerful word and quiet hope in the matter of boring for oil and gat in this county; there is ample proof of the existance of one. or both to make the problem manifest, and the solving of the problems of life and place constitute the best of man's work in this weary old world. If we had no fascinating problems our en ergies would die of inanition and we would pass, without history, to the bourne to which all animals are sup posed to drift It is an excellent thing that Clatsop has the signs that warrant the full effort in this direction; there has been a steadfast faith in the oil and gas promises cropping out here; a faith that is likely to mature to reali zation of the largest range and qual ity; and any well directed effort to fathom the truth of the alluring mys tery will be watched and welcomed with all the good will in the world. And those whose courage and sense make for the final revelation should reap handsomely from the venture No one will begrudge them the limit of their findings, (unless it be the Standard Oil Company,) and the launching of another great industrial field here will enchance every other value we possess. Go to it, gentlemen! and may you speedily realize that you have anoth er gauge on fortune! THE SPRING GRIND We have passed the winter here in Astoria without any grave losses or startling discomfitures of any sort in a business way; the cheerless months are gone, and we are face to face with the gTacious days of spring and sum mer and free to make the most of the sure developments they bring on their warm breath and energizing bright ness. The old life-grind is pretty much the same at all seasons so far as its exactions are concerned, but there is an elemental freedom that comes with light and comfort and warmth and weather that does not hamper and hinder and discourage. Astoria has no great sacrifice to report; she is all well, and better, off than she was last year and has more promises for the year than were hers last spring; her industries are all sound and solid; her businesses are all here and ready for the Iivest of her seasons; she has more people, more wealth, more reason for pride and thrift and active effort, than ever before and can face the new season with an equal show with any of her sister, cities in the Northwest. This is the spring spirit, and it dwells here in. abundant force, an asset and a credit of no small value when prompt ly and properly used. uaUy.DispeU Colds undHeact acnes due to Constipation; Acts naturally, acts truly as j a Laxative.

OUR POLICE COMMISSION There is to be a full board of the Astoria Police Commission session this evening, and it is hoped that the question of "unfinished business" will not be altogether ignored when the Commission shall have disposed of the Abercrombie-Linville-Debeau in quiry, which, of course, takes prece dence at this particular session. The board has dallied with the matter of the appointment of a chief-of-police for Astoria so long, that there ia a suspicion that it will never be broach ed again, despite the legal necessity for the creation of such an officer in the despatch of municipal affairs. The present condition operates as an in justice to the board, the city and the acting-chief, and should-be amended, at least, in deference to the proper conduct of all civic business, and the determination of the real status anl authority of that particular officer. If for once politics can be shunted, and real municipal business given right-of-way. perhaps the solution of this matter would not be so difficult or hazardous as it seems; at any rate the people would like to see some thing done that means something for their protection and interests. WING SHOTS That tariff-joker we have with us always. It is ubiquitous, elusive, dim, hard to find; but it is always there: And when it is found, at some critical juncture in the course of legal term ing of the bill later on, it will be found to be undetachable as usual, and quite as effective as any otbt-r particular feature of the law. Dont imagine for an instant that the "jo ker" has been forgotten or mis-placed it is exactly where it will be found when it is wanted by those who de signed and fixed it! 'Little Wilhelmina". th of the Dutch, is soon to become a mother, and the whole world, outside the diplomatic ranges, is hoping it may be a son and prince, that his j gracious young mother and her de voted people may live long and hap pily, free from the danger of absorb tion by the "powers" that inherit the "kingdom in default of a male heir!. We approve the policy of the Gov ernment in making the appointees of the census bureau subject to the rules of the Civil Service Commission. It should have been done years ago, ami saved the bureau many a dis graceful scandal, and, perhaps, ac complished far better results than have ever been attained. The French have deported the bumptious Cipriano from the shores of Martinique in his pajamas; this was probably a concession" to the polite amenities in general and to the delicate sensibilities of the sailors on board the steamship that carried the "man of destiny" away from there. He is, without exception, the most ridiculous figure in modern affairs, and one that will never mend either his own nor his country's reputation in the eyes of the laughing and sneer ing world. The State of Oregon is not to be pacified with any white-washing rf the hazing outrage at Eugene. The matter will be forgotten far sooner if the young men engaged in the fatal, unmanly, hazing stunt, are properly punished and the great school absolv ed from the reek of their folly as far as it may be. The plea of youth may be in-voked only to a certain pass; be yond that point, toleration ceases to account for raw brutality. People past middle life usually have some kidney or bladder disorder that saps the vitality, which is naturally lower in old age. Foley's Kidney Remedy corrects urinary troubles, stimulates the kidneys, and restores strength and vigor. It cures uric acid troubles by strengthening the kidneys so they will strain out the uric acid that settles inthe muscles and joints causing rheumatism. Owl Drug Store, T. F. Laurin. . YOUNG WOMAN FALLS FROM STREET GAR FRISCO SCHOOL TEACHER RECEIVES MYSTERIOUS INJURIES. SAN FRANCISCO. April 12-Miss Mary Phillips, a teacher in the public schools of this city for many years, died at St. Luke's Hospital early this morning of injuries sustained in a mysterious manner-according to her brief dying statement, by a fall from a street car Saturday night. Miss Phillips had been to the home of a friend assisting in preparations for an Eastern festival. Abaut 8 o'clock her mother heard a car stop at the nearest corner, but hearing no footsteps, concluded her daughter had not arrived. A few minutes later, she heard a moaning voice on the porch. She threw open the door and Miss Phillips , blood streaming from wounds on her head, staggered for ward and fell into the mother's arms. She gasped that she had fallen from a car, then lapsed into unconscious a state in which she remained until death which was due to a fracture of the skull. No car crew has report.'.! such an accident.

Rail- WASHINGTON. April 12.-The intention of Japah to control the rail ways of Manchuria as completely as those In Japan itself is indicated in the dispatches fromFormer Ambas sador Luke F.. Wright sent to the State Department in 19(16 and which were made public today. The Japanese government subscrib ed to one half of Hie stock of the South Manchurian Railway Company. The remaining half was divided among Japanese subjects and the government, and subjects of China, thus insuring a preponderating por tion of the stock in Japanese hands. Mr. Wright pointed out that the Jap anese claim that the restriction of the sale of shares to the two nationalities was insisted upon by China. SHOT GUN CONTEST Chicago And Kansas-City In Long Distance Contest.

Scores were ex changed by wire and Chicago came out on top, 419 to 361 out of a pos- ible 500 targets. High winds affected the scores of both teams.

COSTLY BRIDAL GIFT A $1,000,000 Manson For A Pittsburg Young Woman. PITTSBURG. April 12. William N. Frew, the wealthy personal repre sentative of Andrew Carnegie in Pit tsburg, is building a mansion as a wedding present to his daughter Vir ginia Frew, whose engagement to Thurston Wright, a young bank clerk formerly of St. Louis, has just been announced. The house will cost, it is estimated, about $1,000,000. This brings about the report that wealthy Pittsburg res idents, having noted that a number of rich young people have deserted this city to live in New York, have enter ed into some sort of agreement to erect houses for their'children as they marry, also offering them other in ducements to remain in Pittsburg. On; of the first to take up this idea was Mrs. Darlington. Another big house has been built for Mrs. Hugh Laugh- lin who was Misi Mariorie Rea of Pittsburg. WOMEN ON BASE BALL I Frank Chances Wife Makes Some In teresting Remarks. CHICAGO, April 12, At the open ing of the baseball season, Mrs. Frank L- Chance, wife of the world's champ ion's leader is out in an interview de claring that it is upon women not the flighty, volatile kind, but the steady home variety that the future of the National game depesds. To prevent the game from becom mg a rowdy pastime, only for bleach ers full of men to watch, she believes that more women should occupy seats in the grand stand. "If more women would forsake bridge whist and pink teas sofa cush ions and kimonas and turn out 'o watch the cleanest sport in the world, there would be more robustness an l fairmindedness among our sex," said Mrs. Chance. "If women would only come out and expand their lungs to the fresh air by 'rooting' for the home team there would be less work for the doctors." The Human Appetite. Of all the whimsical, shifting, unre liable, treacherous, exacting things n the world, the human appetite for the right thing to eat Is, perhaps, the most unreasonable and imperious. There are those who humor it; oth ers who defy it; and all men are more or less inclined to treat it with -consideration. To find a place where these varying attitudes may be fos tered, at the least cost in each case, und yet keep the appetite in proper and peaceful subjection, is always desirable Information. One place that is conceded as perfectly adapted t3 this, is the Palace Restaurant, just opposite the Page building, on Com mercial street, in this city. Try 't once, and patronize it always; that is the rule of the Palace. BLACK HAND SLAYS IIS THIRD 11 IRE THREE ASSASSINATIONS OC CUR IN TAMPA. FLA.. DUR INO PRESENT YEAR ' TAMPA, Fla.. April 12,-The as sassitiation of Giuseppe Ficarotta, a wholesale grocery merchant and one of the moitt prominent arid wealthy members of the local Italian colony, has added the third to a series of mur ders which' have been charged to the black hand here during the present year.

He was instantly killed and the assassins, dropping their weapons fled. Ficarotta's relative, say they know no cause for the murder. The killing has aroused the city and American will join with the better element of the foreigners in hunting down the murderers.
