Various newspapers throughout the!
stare are advertising tne lottery, it
is illegal, and that Bhould cause the
press to refrain from setting an ex
ample of illegality. Unless 'the law
is enforced it will result in ojher
journals advertising the business and
then the law will go on the Bhelves
along with the other sleeping statutes.
The attempt of the Canadians to
stock their lakes and rivers with
salmon, the Toronto Qldbe says, may
be pronounced a total failure. It is
suggested that salmon do not return
to the place where the fry has been
deposited, but return, if it is possible,
to the river from whioh the parent
flah had been taken. This is the
opinion of so competent an observer
as Frank Buckland, and, if correct, it
may account for failure in some in
stances. Decoration Day, says the Omaha
Republican, will outlive the gray
haired veterans who now, by common
consent, conduct its beautiful cere
monies it will die only when love of
country dies, and the fabric of the
republic crumbles. To scatter flow
ers upon their graves, and care for
their loved ones, is all that we can do
for the men who have done so much
more than that for us. "When we
shall cease to do that out of the warm
gratitude of our hearts, the republic
will not deserve to exist as a nation.

TERRIBLE MINING DISASTER.
Devastating Oyclone in the East Indies.
Glasgow, May 28. A terrible ex
plosion occurred to-day in the Ud
ston coal pit at Blantyre village, in
Lanarkshire.eight milesfrom this city.
Two hundred and twenty miners are
entombed in the pit and it is feared all
have perished. The shaft is blocked
with debris caused by the explosion.
Further particulars show that the
number of men entombed is less than
first reperted: Forty-five of the
miners who were imprisoned in the
upper seam of the pit were rescued,
but one died after being brought to
the surface; the others are suffering,
however, from the effects of the
shock. All access to the lowest seam
where seventy-five men are confined
is found to be blocked by debris tum
bled down by the explosion. It was
in this seam that the explosion oc
curred, and it is not believed that
any of the men down there can be
rescued alive. It is even thought
that they are all dead now. There
are seventy-five men still imprisoned
in the middle seam; hopes are enter
tained of saving the most of these.
Volunteers working for their rescue
can hear them calling for help. The
pit's head has been surrounded by a
large crowd of weeping women and
children. Five dead bodies have al
ready been taken out.

Faraons Women.
Madame Trebelli, the groatest of
living contraltos who has traveled
extensively, iu fact visited every
county and city of note in the world,
has just departed from the slope of
the Pacific, and often expressing the
greatest admiration for the beauty
and grandeur of our scenery nnd the
delightful mildness of our climate,
left the following written note as a
living expression of her opinion iu
the hands of a Portland druggist, the
original of which can be seen on de
mand. Pobtlaxd, Or., April C, 1887.
Dear Mr. Wisdem: I hne tried your
"Kobertine." and it gives rae much
pleasure to say that it is excellent for
the complexion, being one of the best
articles of the kind I have ever used. Be
lieve me, yours sincerely,

lency of this article is required call on

Conn's, thence to Carnahan & Co.'s.
and so on to Theo. Bracker's where
he" bought one, flnng down a twenty,
invested some of tho change in a box
of cartridges, and in front of Ohler's
was challenged by a boot black for a
"shine." "Yes, said he, "I am going
to kill myself with this revolver, and
will die with shiny boots. Shino 'em
up." They were shined up and he
an ounced that he was about to kill
hi 3elf. No serious objection was
made but as he was being dusted,
Officer Linville slipped the re
volver out of the would-be sui
cide's pocket into his own. The
man who still breathed self-slaughter,
started round the corner, but
soon came back, and going into Spex-
arth s, swore that he had just bought
a revolver and ''forgot to take it

ville transferred the box of cartridges
to another pocket, and coaxed the
man in haste to seek tho other shore
to a place where the job could be
done with no interference from jeer
ing bystanders. This proved to be
the city jail, and after a few hours he
wept maudlin tears and said he hadn't

FROM THE ATLANTIC SLOPE.
Boston-, May 21st, 1837.
Tho shad catch has been extraor
dinarily large, and it curtails tho
sale of other fresh fish; the madkerel
fleet have found but few fish the
look is not encouraging. Salmon
from the northeastern border begin
to come in, iced. The salmon area
on the Atlantic coast extends from
the Penobscot river in Maine to the
extreme northern Labrador, and all
around the island of Newfoundland.
The inshore question, on these north
ern fisheries, is a serious one, involv
ing Prance as well as the United
States in complicated conditions.
The growth of population and com
merce on the continent, demand a
new deal as to shore privileges.
Qneeu Elizabeth claimed as the priv
ilege of Britain, the Grand Banks.
The claim faded with the enlarge
ment of ideas about sovereignity.
Tho shore rights of fish, to meet the
changed conditions of the age, must
be enlarged. Merchandise trade dull,
3toek operations largo and gainful,
preparing tho wav Tor a smash.
Astonishing Surcesi.
It is the duty of every persou who
has used liosehec's German Sirun to
let its wonderful qualities be known
to their friends in curing Consump
tion, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma,
Pnonmouia, and in fact all- throat
aud lung diseases. No person can
use it without immediate relief. Three
doses will relieve any case, and we
consider it the duty of all Druggists
to recommend it to the poor, dying
consumptive, at least to try one bottle,
as 80,000 dozen bottles were sold last
year, and no one case where it failed
was reported. Such a medicine as
the German Syrup cannot be too
widely known. Ask your druggist
about it. Sample bottles to try sold
at 10 cents. Regular size, 7o cents.
Sold by all Druggists and Dealers,
in the United States and Canada.
To Illustrate Astoria.
In .Tune, 1883. L. Samuels, of the
West Shore, devoted the entire num
ber of his issue of that magazino for
that month to a well written and su
perbly illustrated article on Astoria.
There were numerous fine views of
different parts of the city, public
buildings, etc., and the article was
such a one as would attract attentiou.
It was circulated extensively.
It is the intention of the enterpris
ing publisher of that magazine to de
vote his July number to Astoria.
The value of writings and fine illus
trations in a publication like the West
Sliore, is obvious, and needs no
more than allusion for all to
see its benefits. Mr. Samuels will
be down on tho Telephone this after
noon, lie nnngs witn mm a corps
of writers and artists, and intends in
the Wet Shore for July, to surpass
his former best efforts, being now
better prepared for adequate repre
sentation of the city, its surround
ings, its resources, and its advan
tages. The West Shore has a good
circulation, and tho enterprise will
aidjgrandly in bringing Astoria and
vicinity into public notice.
