m A ?.ftc gtottjj gitortnm ASTORIA, OREGON: FRIDAY -DKCEMBEIl 18,1683 The doll festival will begin at a.., to-morrow. The Oregon left yesterday. 2 P. The uiemora arrived in. Jack Dempaey and Dave Campbell left Portland last Wednesday for the east. There are thirty-ono vessels in the riTer and thirty-ono listed as being on the way. The anti-coolie meeting will be in the court house to-morrow evening at eight o'clock. The Abeona cleared yesterday for Qaeenstown with 51,536 bus. wheat, valued at $40,197. Tickets at the city book store for the Y. M. 0. A. entertainment at Odd Fellows' hall to-night The Edith goes to Portland this morning in charge of J. W. Brown to be overhauled for the coming sea son. E. C. Holden will have an auction sale of furniture and sundries at his auction rooms next Saturdav. See adv't G. Hansen, of the diamond palace, has a splendid stock of standard jew elry, which he offers at reasonable figures. Mrs. Mineer, an insane resident of Long Prairie near Olympia, with her four children, were burned to death last Wednesday. It is said in Victoria that Judge Dawne of Alaska, the alleged forger, who is reported to have gone to Eu rope via Montreal, is in hiding in that city, never having crossed the Sound. Last year's cold snap from Decem ber 16th to New Year's has not been repeated thiB season, the freaks of the weather running mostly to sud den gusts of southerly wind and abundant rain. A young Creole who had been stop ping with Mr. Sowall, of St. Helens, left last week, taking with him a boat, a watch and S13 in money belonging to his employer. The boat only has been recovered. A fight between two insurance men on Chenamus street yesterday morning ha3 been declared a draw. Any fight between insurance men that results in a draw is thoroughly umatisfactory and reflects discredit upon that enterprising profession. The high tides of a month ago will be repeated in the next few days. On the 20th there will be a nine foot tide; on the two following days the tide will be nine feet and two inches; the moon, the mistress of the tides, being full on the last mentioned day, the 21st. The Y. M. C. A. entertainment at Odd Fellows' Hall this evening prom ises to afford considerable interest and amusement to those attending. Mrs. Jarley and her celebrated wax works.will appear for the fiist lime in this city and the opportunity should not be missed. The Cosmopolis Mill and Trading company has filed articles of incor poration in San Francisco. The ob ject is to trade in lumber in Chehalis county, Washington territory. The capital stock is 100,000, and the di rectors are C. F. Leavenworth, J. M. Eiley, M. G. Toenflen, J. J. Sc rimer and John L. Boone. The Whittier birthday exercises by the pupils of the high school depart ment in District No. One yesterday afternoon were witnessed by a largo gathering of appreciative friends and parents who were evidently well pleased at the thorough and satis factory manner in which the pro gramme was rendored. The item regarding the trains be tween San Francisco and New York has elicited considerable discussion. Another question that arises is as follews: "If you start from San Francisco for New York and promise to write to a friend every day till you get to your destination, mailing your letter each day on the west bound train as you meet it, will your friend get a letter every day?" The steamers Arago and Areata recently carried away from Empire nearly 100,000 feet of white cedar tim bers, to be shipped to Boston by a vessel now waiting for them at San Francisco. The timbers were of va rious lengths, and squared from twenty to forty inches. They are supposed to be sent for the purpose of giving to the people of Bostoti an ocular demonstration of the size and quality of some of the timber owned by the O. S. X company. Yesterday's Oregonian furnishes us a supplement a facsimile of a let ter alleged to have been written by John H. Mitchell. It will be ro saembered that Mitchell was elected to the United States senate about a month ago. The handwriting is vry poor, and not at all in accord ance with the established rules of the Spencerian system of penman ship. The paper upon which the facsimile is printed is of excellent quality. Senator Mitchell is in Wash ington along with Senator Dolph and all the other 74 senators, The senate is in session at present, it being the first session of the 49th congress. Mitohell's term is for the 49th con gress, and the 50th congress, likewise the 51st congress. The real estate sale advertised by 1. J. Arvold, administrator of the estate of H. R.

Officials boarded the City of Jfexico to-day and captured a largo amount of arms and ammunition in the hold, thus revealing a plot to seize the island of Cuba. The discovery causeH great excitement. Ralph Schmidt, an inuiato of Black well's Island, sent there for stealing a tablecloth, has fallen heir to S130, 000. The Pacific Mail Steamship cooi Dany will not put on a mail line to Sydney, Australia, as reported. WILIi JOIN JO. SMITH. Richmond, Mo., Dec 17.

Great damage has been done, many vessels have been lost and several of the crews are known to have per ished. EVEN WORSE OFF THAN ASTORIA. Strange as it may seem there is one place that is even worse off than As toria in the matter of interrupted telegraphic communicntion. In Bra zil the air lines have to contend both with the natural decay, rapid as that is in a tropical country, and with the sudden fall of the temperature at sundown, that causes wires and in sulators tc break by contraction. All nature is leagued against them. The luxurious vegetation of th9 tropics, despite all attempts to keep it down, causes no end of trouble. Birds build their nests on top of the poles, and ants up heir sides, while skunks and armadillos undermine them and cause their sudden fall. The ants' nest3 havo to be chopped off with axe3, when old and hard. Wasps build nests in tho porcelain insula tors, apes meddle with the wires and enormous swarms of birds, flying by night, often wreck or tangle them. More mischievous than auy of these is n huge spider that weaves its web between tho wires and interferes with tho electric currents. Worst of all, the tremendous tropical thunder storms smash wires, poles, insulators and all, almost daily in their season, despite all precautions. In tho United States circuit court last Wednesday the bill was dis missed and the restraining order va cated in the case of Wm. T. Coleman vs. the White Star Packing company. The parties entered into a contract in September, 18S2, by the terms of which Coleman & Co. agreed to han dle all the products of the White Star cannery until Soptember, 1885, at a commission of 5 per cent, and the suit was brought to compel de fendants to carry out the terms of the agreement. The case of Wm. T. Coleman vs. tho Columbia River Canning company was before the court on objections to plaintiff's bill of costs, which was argued and sub mitted. Tho regular eastern Oregon item about the gold discovered in the crop of a deceased chicken, is slightly va ried this December, the first item of the kind in this section appearing in yesterday's Oregonian, regarding the finding of gold in what that journal styles the "craw'' of a goose, said goose residing and being at tLo time at Winlock, W. T. Tho gold was of tho value of one dollar. This may be a lineal desce idant of the goose that laid tho golden eggs, though, of course in tho absence of positive ev idence regarding ganser genealogy, such hypothesis must for the present remain unsupported.

Capt Lees is reported as having said last Wednesday: uUp to ten or twelve days ago I felt that dynamite talk was all nonsense, but now we find men actually making these things. What can we think? It looks serious, I tell you." He said a meeting of the revolutionary association previously referred to, was held about the mid dle of last month. He was confident the list of proscribed citizens was straight and true, taken from tho minutes of the meeting. His belief was that the secret association was composed of foreigners inspired with "devilishness," and their plan of ac tion seemed the same as in Europe. Referred to Weisman's statement that the experiments, when the bombs burst into a thousand pieces were not satisfactory, he said that the bombs were to be used in the build ings of the city, and then the next step was to plunder. He could not say whether or not there was any knowledge of the particular struct ures for destruction contemplated. Mayor Bartlett, whose name is in the list of those the executive com mittee of the dynamite league intend ed to "arrest or execute," said: "Some javg afr0 Chief Crowley informed me jof'the existence of a list of names, , i jid not apprehend then, nor do I tumknow, tunc tne originators in tended violence. They were wild enough to contemplate a disturbance in Chinatown. A lurge portion of tho men following O'Donnell were owners of property, and must know that the damage' caused by a riot must ultimately be paid by taxpayers. The great body of agitators are, 1 be- j liuvc. tu ictvui uuij ui yeuuciui uicauo IT - !.. fl mnnnr. of discouraging the Chinese, and hence would not endorse such plots. Neighbors to the quiet cottage occu pied by the dynamiters tell many stories of dim lights and mysterious movements for weeks past, and it is thought usually everything displayed much skill and secretness. The po lice rented a room opposite and viewed with opera glasses the move ments within, and at an opportune movement Captain Lees and four de tectives burst open the door and pre sented drawn cocked revolvers. When the officers commenced handling the .iombs and chemicals Weisman in sisted that they be careful or that they would blow up that entire por tion of the town. Weisman and Mit- tlestat admit that they bad been ex perimenting with bombs near the! Cliff House. I There has been no such excitement in San Fraucisco for many months. Citizens expected a riot of some sort, or an outbreak after January first. The 15th had been set by the nihi lists, as they had announced recently at the Sand lots. It was anticipated . then there would be a riot, but no j one thought tho anarchists were so deep in the manufacture of infernal machines. The secret order of ni hilists is known as the revolutionary committee of the international social istic party. Chief Crowley reiterates what Captain Lees says, that the presumed object of tho organization is plunder. Ha knows the prisoners are members of tho executivo com mittee of the society, and were'pres- ent at the meeting when prominent citizens were proscribed, GOOD ADVICE FltOH A HUMORIST. To 3'ouug men Bob Burdetre says: You take a basin of water, place yonr finger in it for twenty-five or thirty seconds, take it out and look at tho hole that is left The size of that hole represents about the impression that advice makes on a young man's mind. Don't depend too much en your family the dead part I mean. The world wants live men; it has no use for dead ones. Queen Victoria can trace her ancestors back in a direct line to William the Conqueror. If you cannot get further back than your father, you are better off. Your father was a better man than old Wil iam." He had belter clothes to wear, better foo 1 to eat, and was better housed. If you are a diamond be sure you wiil be found. Cheek, brass or gall never gets ahead of mcrit. I love a young man who is straight forward. Ask for what you want. If you want to marry a rich man's daughter, or borrow S5(K) from him, ask for it; it amounts to the same thing in the end. It is always bet ter to astonish a roan than to bore him. Remember that in the morning of life come tho hard working days. Hard work never killed a man. It's fun, recreation, relaxation, holidays that kill. The fun that results in a bead the next morning so big that a tub conld hardly cover it is what kills. Hard work never does. Those who come after us will have to work just as hard as wc do. When I shovel snow off my sidewalk, if perchance I tako a three quarter inch piece off my neighbor's walk, I put it back, because if I didn't I should bo doing him an injustice. You can't afford to do anything but what is good. You are on a dress parade all the time. Don't be afraid of pounding per sistently on one thing. Don't be afraid of being called a ono-ideaman or a crank. If yon havo one idea, you have more than most men have. It takes a smart man to be a crank. Siuclilcirs Arnica Salve.

Mutter I Whlek tko Bablio Skeald. Havo a Deal ef Interest Why does the Government spend so much money, and risk so many lives in trying to capture the counter feiter? , . n "Suppose he does counterfeit Gov ernment bonds and notes, surely the Government is rich enough to stand any loss his act may confer'." But the individual citizen could ill afford to be put to continual financial loss if such desperadoes were let go unwhipped of justice. It is only the valuable thing that is counterfeited; it is only in the light of purity and virtue that im purity and vice can be known. No one in these days would counterfeit a Confederate bond or note. People who commit fraud always do it by simulating the highest virtue ; by preying on the cleanest repu tation, by employing the fair name of virtue with which to give respect ability to vice. Let us explain: Seven or eight years ago, so we have been informed many times in public prints, a New York State gentleman was pro nounced, as many millions have been pronounced before, incurably sick of an extreme disorder. By suggestions which he believed were providential, he was led to the use of a preparation which had been for several years employed by a select few physicians in New York City and one or two other prominent places. Thb result was that he was cured, ho whom doctors without number, and of conceded ability, said was incur able. Having secured possession of the formula, absolutely and irrevo- cably, he determined to devote a por tion oi nis accumuiaieu wuauu iu uiu manufacture and sale of this remedy for the benefit of the many who suf fer as he suffered, in apparent hope lessness. In less than three years, so tremendous became the demand for this remedy, and so exalted the reputation, that he was obliged for his purposes to erect a laboratory and warehouse containing four and a quarter acres of flooring, and filled with the most approved chemical and manufacturing devices. Probably there never was a remedy that has won such a meritorious name, such extraordinary sales, and has accom plished so much good for the race. Unprincipled parties, who flourish only upon the ruins of others, saw in this reputation and "sale an oppor tunity to reap a golden harvest (not legitimately, not honorabiy), for which purpose they have made im itations and substitutions of it in every section of the country, and many druggists, who can make a larger profit on these imitation goods, often compromise their honor by forcing a sale upon tho unposted cus tomer. Yes. undoubtedly the manufact urers could well afford to ignore such instances of fraud so far as the effect upon themselves is concerned, for their remedies have a constant and unre mitting sale, but they feel it to be their duty to warn the public against such imitations and substitutions, non-secret and otherwise. The indi vidual who buys them, and the pub lic who countenances their Bale, alone suffer in mind, body, and es tate therefor. The authors of some of these fraud ulent practices havo been prosecuted and sent to prison for their crimes, but there is another class who claim to know the formula of this remedy, and one Sunday-school journal, we are told, has prostituted its high and holy calling so far as to advertiso that for twenty-five cents it will send all new subscribers a transcript of the Warner formula ! This formula, by the way, inu3t be a wonderfully kaleidoscopic affair, for there is hardly a month passes when some paper is not issued which pretends tojrivo the only correct formula! The manufacturers inform us that they would bo perfectly willing that the public should know what the true formula of Warner's Safe Cure is (none that have been published are anything like it, but even if every man, woman, and child in the United States were as familiar with this formula as with their A B C's they could not compound the remedy. The method of manufacture is a se cret. It i3 impossible to obtain tho results that are wrought by this remedy if one does not have the per fect skill acquired only by years of iractice for compounding and assimi ating tho simple elements which enter into its composition. The learned Dr. Foster, the hon ored head of Clifton Springs Sani tarium, once said that having roughly analyzed this remedy he recognized that' the elements that compose it wero simple, but he attributed tho secret of its power to the method of its compounding, and this method no one knows except the manufact urers, and no one can acquire it. Our advice to our readers, there fore, cannot be too strongly empha sized. As you would preler virtue to vice, gold to dross, physical happi ness to physical misery, shun the imitator and refuse thereby to lend your aid financially to those who seek to got, by trading upon another's reputation and honesty, a sale for wares and goods which on their merits are fit only to be rejected as the veriest refuse". You can neither afford to patronize such people, nor can you afford to take their injurious compounds into your system. When you call for Warner's Safe Cure see that the wrapper is Hack with white letters, and that the wrapper and la bel bear an imprint 'of an iron safe, the trade mark, and that a safe is blown in the bach of the bottle, and that a perfect lc. promissory note stamp is over the cork. You can't be imposed on if you observe these cautions. We "have the highest respect for the remedy we have mentioned, and the highest regard for the manufact urers, and we cannot too highly com mend their dignified and considerate tone in relation to those who would traduce their fair name, and ruin the best interest of the public in such matters. Speakinp about dolls, you must see Adler's variety; they will please your eve as well as your purse. Fashion Notes. Bustles are eettinc larcrer and larger.
