Notice To Atlrertisers. The Astoriax guarantees to its ad vertisers the largest circulation of any newspaper published on the Columbia river. This paper is on file at the St. Charles Hotel, Portland, Or. A little rain is among the probabil ities. The list of vessels on the way is length ening out. Tickets for to-night's concert at Griilin fc Heed's City book store. Read tho programme for to-night's concert in another column. The river steamers deserve credit for their successful efforts .during the lato smoky weather to make prompt trips. J. G. Hustler give3 notice that tho tax list and assessment roll of school district No. Ono is now in his hands for collec tion. Tho Tom Corwin, now cruising in the Arctic, will be here after January 1st, 183G, and will mako her headquarters at Astoria. Tho school directors of school district No. 18 will sit as a board of equalization at the office of Jas. W. Welch, next Sat urday, tho 15th inst., at 10 a. m. Fifty cents will buy a comfortable seat to see "The Private Secretary;" a reserved seat for seventy-five cents; tho best seat in tho house for a dollar. On her last trip the Stale brought 90 sks malt, 412 bxs fruit, 23 sks sweets, 3G cs paste, 139 bxs soap, 19 hf bbls sugar, 1 cs coffee, 10 sks salt, l."7 mats rice, 72 cs canned goods. A certain Portland hotel-keeper says "it doesn't pay to run a first-class house;" that he is going to run a second class house after the 1st. All ho has to do is to lower his prices. Tho annual picnic of the Presbyterian Sunday school will bo at Smith's point to-day. The picnickers win start irom the church at nine o'clock. If it rains the picnic will bo postponed. From tho beach comes the story that certain gilded youths from Portland who started to dig clams found that a tido table was a necessary adjunct. To dig clams at flood tide is a hard job. People say that watermelons this year give one the ague. Not in Astoria they won't. No one has anything like ague in Astoria, and you can fill up on tho festive watermelon with impunity. Considerable effort has been exerted to make to-night's concert a success. Pure Iv as a matter of business tho concert is worth considerably more than tho price of admission and the ability of the per formers should insure a full house. In a part of China, during tho mon soon season, they have gambling shop3 whero tho betting-is whether or not rain will fall within a certain time. From the racket in Chinatown last evening it would seem that this game was being played in Astoria. Tho Xews reports tho discovery of "very rich gold quartz" near north Yam hill, and says "some of tho oro is so rich as to be almost puro galena." Tho thing 4 is impossible. There is as much differ ence between galena and gold-bearing quartz as there is between putty and molasses. Tho government vessel Oliver Wolcoll, Capt. Moore commanding, seven days from San Francisco, for Seattle, arrived off tho mouth of the river at noon yes terday, and the weather being thick fired signal guns for a pilot. She arrived in in the afternoon and resumes her journey to-morrow. Pacific University at Forest Grove pre sents many educational advantages well worthy tho consideration of those who realize what an important factor in life a good education is. Soo adv't. llev. J. F. Ellis, the president of the university, will furnish catalogues and information upon application. To clean out the reservoir, J. "V. Welch yesterday turned on the supply from Bear River direct to the main pipe3. Should a break occur while tho hill res ervoir is being cleaned it would take some time to repair and it might bo well for consumers to keep a quart or so on hand for contingencies. Parties just arrived from Port Or .ford report widespread and destructive fires in that region. A large quantity of Port Orford cedar cut and ready for market has been destroyed, and consider able general loss entailed. As Port Or ford cedar is held at 27 a thousand, a fire among it is a costly thing. Talking of "The Privato Secretary," the New York Mail and Express says, "in the extremely clever and artistically acted version presented in the Madison Square Theater Co., it is ono of the most laughable things ever seen on the stage." The same company appear at Ross' opera house next Monday evening in the same play which ran 200 nights at their New York theater. Reserved seats at Carl Adler's. To walk around alive and thus savo funeral expenses is, doubtless, a matter of economy. Timo was when it used to be cheaper to die, but the difference in the prico of vegetables, etc., makes it more profitable, purely as a matter of economy, to keep the undertaker out of a job as long as possible. At least that is tho reason a prominent citizen assign ed yesterday for remaining this sido of the shadowy river. Notwithstanding The Astoman warned everybody about tho notorious fakir Vogel yesterday morning, who had ar rived m town tuo nigut uotoro, no iounu a dozen suckers yesterday who contrib uted $2.50 each to his game. The only wav to beat that fellow is to let him alone. He is tho slickest and sharpest of the wholo gang. One of the minnows who bit at the hook yesterday was squeal ing about "the city council giving him a license." They did just right in giving him a liconsc. He ought to have one right along. He pays ten dollars a day for it, and it's worth that to find out how many consummate idiots thero aro in town. A newsDaoer works for its own tewn: does something to build up the place; keep3 things alive; advances tho interests of all who live in tho place; draws trade; put 8 money in the pockets of the busi ness men, and adds to the well-being and prosperity of all. By some this is appre ciated. SVide-awake, liberal-minded men reciorocate bv eiving tho paper their patronage. Occasionally may be found individuals, whose soul woum have as much room In a groin of sand as a salmon in tho Columbia river, who prefer to spongo oil their neighbors, p:c np what they can from what is drawn to the place by enterprising neighbors, and pay nothing for it. The third annual catatogue of tho Oro gon State Normal School at Monmouth is to hand. It is full of information concerning tho normal school and its re lation to educational work. There are seven professors and teachers. There were 202 students tho past year and 17 candidates for graduation in the different departments. The normal graduates re ceivo diplomas from the state authorizing them to teach in any public school in tho state without further examination. Tho course of study is full and practical. Tho expenses arc less than at most schools. Thero aro 72 free scholarships, of which this county is entitled to one. Catalogues and full information will be furnished free on application to presi dent D. T. Stanley, Monmouth. II A KOTO I'AV DEBTS WITHOUT 310X111". Considerable difficulty has been found in collecting road tax, poll tax, etc, from departing fishermen this season, which is not to bo wondered at. "When men can't or won't pay tho grocer, tho board ing House keeper and tho man that fitted them out or kept them through the dull season, it is to bo expected that they will dodge any form of taxation if it is possi ble. And vet thero are two sides to the question. A good many fishermen worked hard and faithfully all through the season that has just closed and have nothing to show for it. bomo of them onby succeeded in lightening a littla the burden of debt that was on their shoul ders when they started in. The books of tho canneries show in many places where after the wholo season's work $1.7., or $2, or $3.50 i3 all that is due a man. This is rough on tho man himself and it is rough on him who put up for him. As an in stance may be mentioned ono restaurant keeper in the second ward who boarded and lodged thirteen men ever since last February. On tho 1st of the month there was about $20 coming to lho whole baker's dozen. They wanted to go to San Francisco, and though they owed him for board all spring and summer, tho restaurant man, in tho b?nevo!enc of his heart, gave ten of them 10 apiece to pay for a stoerago ticket lo San 1 ran cisco. To somo this would look like throwing good money aftsr bad lo give these men 100 in coin after feeding them for nothing all summer; probabby he thought that that was the best way to insuro their coming back again next April in tho hopo of making enough lo settle up all tho old scons. It is to be hoped that tho restaurant man's gener osity will have its just reward. Certain it is that on tho part of a good many fishermen nothing but their inability to pay keeps t-hem from squaring their ac counts. THK WJI. 11. KESSL'. Tho American ship H"i. . Uesse is loaded.

The Astoria LanJ (Jrani. When Tiic Astobian started in lo get tho Astoria land grant forfeited it was wo! I awaro the job was a big one, but supposed after the forfeituro bill bad passed congress last January that that settled it. However, it took six mouths to get from "Washington out hero tho official notification, and now comes "your orator," It. Koehler, receiver or tho Urc gon and California H:ilroad company, and appears before Judge Dcady with a petition asking leave lo file a bill for an injunction against L. T. Burin, register and receiver of tho Oregon City land office, to restrain that official from allow ing tho filing of applications by home stead and pro-emption claims upon odd sections of land lying within the limits of twenty-five miles of Forest Grove and to tho north and west of that place. Of course tho petition was granted, and the next thing will bo tho filing of an in junction to restrain h. T. J Sarin from doing what he was instructed to do by tho commissioner of the general land office at Washington. Vfhit Astoria Lasrs. During lho season of '34 Oregon shipped lo San Francisco, mcslly for foreign reshipraent, 101,315 barrels flour and 411,471 centals wheat. During last month there went acrosss tho Columbia bar to San Francisco, 4,112 barrels flour and 80,797 centals wheat to bo there re shipped across the sea. All theso thous ands of barrels of flour and hundreds of thousands of centals cf wheat that go lo San Francisco from the Columbia river should of right bo loaded at Astoria. This represents a fraction of what Asto ria loses by tho system of shipment so burdensome and profit deslroyiiyto the producer. & Just Think! A special train which boro Manager Koehler, Superintendent Brandt and General Joseph E.

PLAGUE-STRICKEN PLYMOUTH! DOES A SIHILAE DANGER THREATEN EVERY ONE OF US ? Mow Public Attention Is Directed to Personal Perils. " Judge," Eaid a yopng lawyer to a very successful senior, "Tell me the secret of your uniform success at the bar." "Ah, young man, that secret is a life study, but I will give it to you on condition that you pay all my bills during this session of court." "Agreed, sir," said the junior. " E v i d e n c e, indisputable evi dence." At the end of the month tho judge remindedthe young man of his prom ise. ' " I recall no such promise." " Ah, but you made it." "Your evidence, please? " And the judge, not having any witnesses, lost a case for once ! The man who can produce indls putablc evidence wins public favor. 1 had an interview yesterday with the most successful of American adver Users, whose advertising is most suc cessful because always backed by evidence. "What styles of advertising do you use?" I asked II. II. Warner, Esq. Display, reading matter, and par ngraphs of testimonials." "Have you many testimonials?" In answer he showed me a large cabinet chock-full. ""We have enough to fill Boston, New York, Chicago, St. Louis, and Philadelphia morning papers." " Do you publish many of them? " "Not a tithe. Wonderful as are thoso wo do publish, wo have thou sands like them which we cannot use. 'Why not?' Let mo tell you. 'Warner's Safe Cure' has probably been lho most successful medicine for female disorders ever discovered. We have testimonials from ladies ol the highest rank, but it would be in delicate to publish them. Likewise mam statesmen, lawyers, clorgymen, doctors of world-wide fame have been cured, but we can. only refer to such persons in tho most guarded terms, as wc do in our reading articles." "Are these reading articles suc cessful?" "When read, they make such an impression that when the ' evil days ' of ill health draw nigh they are re membered, and Warner's Safe Cure is used." " No, sir, it is not necessary now, as at first, to do such constant and extensive advertising. A meritori ous medicine sells itself after its mer its aro known. We present just evi dence enough to disarm skeptics and to impress the merits of the remedies upon now consumers. We feel it to be our duty to do this. Hence, heal lo accomplish our mission of healing the sick, we have to use the readings article style. People won't read plain testimonials." "Yes, sir, thousands admit that had they not learned of Warner's Safe Cure through this clever style they would still be ailing and still i'm poverishing themselves in fees to un successful practitioners. It would do 3'our soul good to read tho letters of thanksgiving we get from mothers grateful for the perfect success which attends Warner's Safe Cuie when used for children, and tho sur prised gratification with which men and wemn of older years and im paired vigor, testify to the youthful feelings restored to them by the same means." "Are these good effects perma nent? " " Of all the cases of kidney, liver, urinary, and female diseases wc have cured," not two per cent, of them re port a return of their disorders. Who else can show such a record? " "What is tho secret of Warner's Safe Cure permanent! reaching so many serious disorders?" " 1 will explain by an illustration : The little town of Plymouth, Pa., has been plague-stricken for several months because its water supply was carelessly poisoned. Tho kidneys and liver are the sources of physical well-being. If polluted by disease, all tho blood becomes poisoned and every organ is affected and this great danger threatens every one who neg lects to treat himself promptly. I was nearly dead myself of extreme kidney disease, but what is now War ner's Safe Cure cured me, and I know it is tho only remedy in tho world that can cure such disorders, for I tried everything else in vain. Cured by it myself, Ifcought it, and, from a sense of duty, presented it to the world. Only by restoring the kidnevs and liver can disease leave the blood and the system." A celebrated sanitarian physician once said to me, "The secret of tho wonderful success of Warner's Safe Cure is that it is sovereign over all kidney, liver, and urinary diseases, which primarily or secondarily make up the majority of human ailments. Like all great discoveries it is re markably simple." The house of H. II. Warner & Co. stands deservedly high in Rochester, and it is certainly matter of congrat ulation that merit has been recognized all over the world, and that this suc cess has been unqualifiedly deserved.

The next timo it is undertaken to move tho national capital to the geographical center of the United States duo consider ation must be given to the statement made on Tuesday evening by Professor James Denman, in a lecture before the Geographical Society.of tho Pacific. The professor remarked that he had long been puzzled about the term "out west," as it is used in theso United States, until ho once found a surveyor's monument on tho Rocky mountains, bearing tho in scription which denoted it to be the east and west center of this country. He had sinco been doing a little figuring on the proposition himself, with special refer ence to data gathered on his recent trip to Alaska, a part of tho territory of the United States. Maino is 70 deg. west, Greenwich meridian; San Francisco is 122. deg. west, and the extreme western point of Alaska Territory is 187J deg. west, so that the truo east and west cen ter of the United States becomes located at a point 250 miles west of San Fran cisco, out in tho Pacific ocean. Thero may bo somo sort of a paradox contained in tho proposition, owing to the fact that the point designated as tho center of tho United States is not in tho United States at all, but so the caso was put by the learned professor last evening, and none of tho assembled geographists said him nay. Now that this interesting fact has been thus scientifically demonstrated, StLouis must givo up, onco for all, its absurd claim to being 'tho geographical oenter of tho country, and no timo should bo lost in laying deep and firm tho founda tions of tho future White house on tho loftiest crag of tho Farallonesv-S. F. Chronicle, 9. IT IS A GOOD PLAT. Regarding "Tho Privato Secretary,' which will bo presented in this city next Monday by tho Madison Square Theater Company, from New York, including "W. H. Gillette, M. A. Kennedy, and others, the Savannah (Ga.) Neics speaks of it in this manner: It is as much a pleasure to commend a good play as it is to witness it. "Tfco Private Secretary" is a good play. It is well worth seeing. It advertises itself. Thoso who saw it fast night would doubt less like lo see it again, and thoy would liko their friends to see it. It is very funny, but thewris nothing coarse about it. Therein lies ono of its chief charms. Tho fun begins soon after tho curtain rises on tho llrst act, and it continues un til the end is reached. "Tho Privato Secretary" is tho character who makes all lho fun, and yot ho doesn't seem to- enjoy it himself. In fact, ho doosn't seem to know that ho is tho occasion of amusement. He looks upon himself as a pretty badly used individual. Thero are two private secretaries a genuine one and a falso ono. The falso one, who is a gay young spendthrift about town, and who has a rich uncle who has just returned from India, upon whom ho wishes to make a good impression, personates the truo one. The sccuo of tho main port of tho play is in a gentleman's country houso whera thoro aro two very pretty girls who un derstand tho art of flirting remarkably well. The falso secretary, in order to preserve his identity, gets tho truo secre tary into a good many amusing positions and laughable scrapes. Tho rich undo takes tho genuine secretary to bo his nephew, and as tho genuine secretary is very pious and very temperate, and as tho rich undo believes in a young man sowing his wild oats, they do not get on well together. In fact, their manner of getting on is one of tho side-splitting features of tho farce. Tho play is finely mounted. Tho Madison Square people, howevor, always put their plays on the stage in good shape. Another thing they look after is that they select capable peo ple to present their plays. All tho char acters in "Tho Private Secretary" aro well represented. Reserved seals at Carl Adler's. CONCERT AT ROSS' OPERA HOUSE. This evening, August 13lh, 1S35. rEOOlUMMK.
