go out two or thre6 times during the per

half the pleasure I get at a theatre is in
the sensation I make in passing in and

Last Sunday afternoon, on the road
way opposite the L X. L. Packing Co.'s
establishment, a Chinese youth, whose
soul was filled with joy and whose hands
were rilled with fire-crackers, bounded
merrily before one of the coaches and
nearly succeeded in frightening the horse
sufficiently to throw the whole outfit into
the water. The most disaster befell him
self, one of the wheels passing over him,
with little apparent injury to the cele
brant. The West Shore for the .current month
is in a new form, and some of the most
familiar scenes in Oregon, Washington,

our industries and samples of our
oroducts. .everything is new, the type.
the style of arrangement, and to a large
extent, the character of its contents. The
illustrations, also, are an improvement
even upon the former most excellent ones.
The West Shore is to be congratulated
on the "prosperity these costly improve
ments indicate. In its efforts to combine
the useful and the beautiful, to impart
information and at the same time please
us.with views of our magnificent scenery,
it is doing a good work and deserves tne
hearty good will oi all. It is published at

AXOTHER SOT FOB DAMAGES.
Messrs. Ginder and Reilly the Plaintiff in
the Ca&e.
It has come to tho knowledge of Tin:
Astoeus that another suit has been
brought against certain citizens of Asto
ria in the State Circuit Court by former
residents of this place. It will bo re
membered that among others compelled
to leave here last July were A. Ginder
and J. J. Reilly, former members of tho
Astoria police force and at the timu of
the fire last July engaged in the saloon
business in this city.
Without entering into the merits of
tue case it is a matter of fact that they
were driven out of Asteria: thev now
bring suit m Portland in the State Cir
cuit Court for Multnomah county to re
cover $20,000 damages, each, from the in
dividual members of the vigilance com
mittee. These damages are stated in the
complaint to be the breaking up of the
plaintiff's business, their interests in As
toria, together with their being deprived
of their liberty by members of the com
mittee, consequent anxiety of mind,
bodily suffering, etc.
It is probable that the suit has been
brought in Multnomah county instead
of Clatsop county by reason of the
plaintiffs' being of the opinion that their
chanoss for getting a verdict in their
favor are better elsewhere than the'
would be here, an opinion in which every
body will be inclined to agree. In the
case of Boyle, whose suit was brought in
the 0. S. Cirouit Court, attendance on
the part of tin defendants was compul
sory; in the cases of Messrs. Ginder and
Reilly, who are American citizens, to
make the suit good, it is necessary that
the sheriff of Multnomah county shall
serve papers upon the defendants indi
vidually in that county.
Wijat effect this bit of news wil! h.ivi
ujkwi passenger travel butweeu litre and
Portland is as yet indefinite. It is not
likely though that the intelligent e will
greatly augment Astoria travel toward
the Oregon metropolis.
The Coming Cantati.
All improvements are necessarily pro
gressive. From elementary work is but
u step to higher grades and thence to fin
ished and elaborate rendition. Of this
is abundant illustration in the present
status of the Astoria Musical Society. At
first its work was necessarily elementary
in its character, but under the tutelage of
Prof. Cook, it has increased in exe
cution and enhanced in value in a marked
degree. An Abtoman reporter was ac
corded a seat at tho rehearsal last even
ing, of the coming cantata of "Daniel."
From the splendid manner in which the
ladies and gentlemen composing the so
ciety performed the several parts assigned
them by the Professor it is manifest that
the high expectations formed by the
music loving public of Astoria will not
be disappointed.
The Cantata of Daniel which is one of
the grandest of musical composi
tions has for the foundation of the plot
the Lsaelitish captivity of seventy years
among the Babylonians. With the
prominence of Daniel from his incarce
ration in tho lion's den to the night when
before the astonished king he read the
fateful words "inene. meue upharsin,'
etc., on the wall, our readers are presum
ably acquainted. The spirit and intent
of the sublime strains are evidently un
derstood by the performers who will ap
pear in appropriate costume, and whether
in solo or chorus will invest with due
meaning tho music that so grandly tell:
the story. Two more rehearsals will be
given, when the public will hav the
opportunity of deciding upon the artistic
merit of the performance.
Bailey to Betnrn.
Like Bauquo's ghost the Robh-Bailey
case "will not down." Tho following is
from the San Franc;Hoo Bulletin of the
22nd: "Alfred Clarke, attorney of W.L.
Itohb, the Oregon officer who was held
for contempt for refusing to produce
his prisoner, Charles H. Bailey, iu court
on a writ of habeas corpus, has peti
tioned the Supreme Court for a rehear
ing of tho Robb habeas corpus case. It
will be recollected that the Supreme
Court remanded Robb to the sheriff fol
lowing a hearing, but on Saturday last
United States Judges Sawyer and Snbiii
discharged him from imprisonment.
Their opinion was based on decisions of
the United States Supreme Court in the
Booth and Tarble cases, and the court
said that as no reference was made there
to in the State Supreme Court, 'the caBes
may not have attracted the attention of
the" court.' The petitioner says: 'In a
matter of so great importance it is de
sirable that the decision of the state
court should harmonize with those of
the United States.' "
Tho same "journal in its issue of the
25th, "Says: Tho Supreme court yesterday
remanded Chas. H. Bailey, on habeas
corpus, to Officer J. W. Robb, of Oregon,
to be taken to that state for trial on
charge of embezzlement, using the fol
lowing language: "Wo say that it clearly
appears to us, from the papers produced,
on which the governor of this state acted,
that his action was regular and that it
substantially complied with tho act of
congress concerning fugitives from jus
tice' Hard Likes. The hardships of tLe
shipmasters whose vessels are laid up . t
Saucelito have been such that some of
them at least have embarked in the busi
ness of digging clams to eke out an ex
istence. This resulted in the discovery
of a small bonanza to tho enterprising
captain of an American ship who first
engaged in the tiade, as he yesterday suc
ceeded in disposing of a whole quart of
these shell fish for $G.G5, and expects to
extend the business. S. F. Com. Sews.
A Codfish Stobt. An entertaining but
somewhat apocryphal story is told about
a Portland grocer, who is celebrated for
the size of his hands and feet. He was
waiting upon a fat German woman the
other day, and among the purchases
made by her was a dried codfish. After
finishing her trading the woman prepared
to leave the store, but got no further than
the door when she found her codfish was
missing. Search was made for it every
where, but without success. The fat and
good-natured grocer was telling his
anxious customer that probably some
one bad stolen her property, when he
lifted his hand from the connter The
woman steppad forward and cried eut:
"Das ish mein fish," at the same time
pointing to the place on the counter
where the grocers hand had reposed.
Sure enough there lay her purchase.
PtAMs fob a New Coubt House. In
the office of the county clerk is a hand
somely drafted plan of a proposed now
court house, executed by C. W. Leick, the
architect. The proposed structure wouUl
front on Squemoqua street, the rear abut
ting on the present jail and would be
commodious and elegant. The materials
would be stone and brick, stone being
employed in the basement, and brick in
the body of the main stories of tho build
inc. Tho arrangement of the interior
makes ample provisions for the needs of
the county officials for tho next fifty
years. The amount talked of by the
county commissioners at their last ses
sion to be used in building a court house,
was $40,000, which ought to provide n
suitable public building for county use.
It is doubtful if a building erected in
compliance with Mr. Leick's plan could

In spite of Genera! Butler's emphatic
disavowal ot the story that he is in
Washington to give an impetus to his
presidential boom, there is good author
ity tor saying there are unmistakable in
dications" that the regularly organized
Butler orauch has been established in
Washington, with Lee Crandall. editor of
the atiunul Ileciew, prominently identi
fied with its operations. The bureau lips
been iu wrkin order so long that it is
already iu daily receipt of letters from all
parts of tho country advocating tho
nomination of Butler for president bv
the labor organizations.
The Oregon and California railroad
has sent notices to the Northern Pacific
Express company and to Wells, Fargo fc
Co., that unless the latter companies shall
by February 1 adopt a schedule of rates,
based on one and one-half times first
class freight rates, it will apply to the
courts for protection. The rivalry be
tween the companies has led to their cat
ting ntes below regular freight charges,
naturally attracting a great amount of
business from the railroad company.
Under the present condition of affairs
lumber can be shipped by express cheaper
than by freight, and valley .shippers do
not want the war stopped.
Olorj for the Committee.
The committee on public lands having
made a report on the Texas Pacific land
grant, all interest in the matter appears
to have subsided. There was a lively
curiosity to know what the house pro
posed to do r.hout laud grant forfeiture
bills, iih much attention has been at
tracted to the operations of the judiciary
and laud committees, whoso members
have been wrangling for the possession
of these bills. Some of tho land bills
had got before tho judiciary committee,
and Payeon and Tucker were fighting to
get them on Monday. However, Holman
exploded a bombshell which not only par
alyzed both committees but nearly took
tue breath out of the whole house. This
was his resolutien: Declaring for a pol
icy of forfeiture, and instrncting Mr.
Cobb, of the land committee, to report
the Texas I'aciiir bill at once. Cobb was
thunderstruck, .is says Holman's reso
lution was iu perfect bad faith, and other
members say it was demagoguery. It
had it decided effect, however.
A hot, angry debate took place under
the five-minute rule, Kasson and some
other members demanding that the ques
tion be divided, and Cobb getting up and
leaving the chamber in a huff. Holman
forced n vote on the roll call, and two
thirds of the house adopted the resolu
tion. Next day Cobb recalled the Texas
Pacific bill and Tucker brought in bills
before tho judiciary committee, and
handed them over to Mr. Cobb. The
whole performance appears to have been
a scramble on all sides for glory, and be
cause Holman stepped in and carried off
the persimmons everybody is mad. The
maddest man is Cobb. After the breeze
raised by Holman, Cobb's report fell fiat
and all interest in him and his com
mittee has subsided. Not a word has
been s..d about railroad lands for sev
eral days, and probably the Texas Pacific
forfeiture bill will have no opposition
when it comes up. Republicans thought
Holman's resolution was a political move
and they generally voted for it. Of the
eighteen members, who voted against it,
probably half would have voted the
other way, could the question be divided.
