Tho uarao of tha man who died
suddenly at Ilwaco last Tuesday
morning was Brown; ho was from
Portland, whither the body has been
tafeen.
Painters and carpenters are ali
busy, and the only reason lots of
folks don't paint up and build new
houses and beautify and adorn is
because they can't get the material
on the ground.
The county court met on the ISf h
inst, and received and approved the
reports of the sheriff and county
clerk, and instructed the county clerk
to make out a statement of the finan
cial condition of the countv.
Samuel P. Putnam, the celebrated
liberal lecturer, and secretary of the
American secular union, will deliver
a free lecture at Liberty Hall to-morrow
evening, on "Universal Mental
Liberty." Admission free and every
body invitad;
"Joe, the clam peddler," was in the
eity last Monday, from Clatsop,
tickled greatly at the convenience af
forded by the ferry. Ho brought
over a cartload of clairs, sold them
here for big money, got gloriously
howcomeyouso and went back pro
claiming his prosperity to the
heavens.
Poor old Professor Garragns ev
erybody knew Garragns died at In
dependence last Friday, ne got a
crazy notion in his head a long time
ago -that he was a United States sen
ator, or ought to be, and made con
siderable fun for the bo3s at the cap
ital on various occasions. We could
have better spared a better man.
The outside salmon canneries are
beginning to crowd each other. The
Coast Mail says: "The machinery,
brick, etc., for the cannery across t he
bay came up on the last steamer, and
a force of, men are busily at -work
putting up buildings and placing
things in position so as to be ready
to commence canning as soon as the
fall fishing begins. Mr. Marshal, the
owner of the cannery, came up from
San Francisco on the last steamer.
Justice Cleveland's court was busy
yesterday dispensing even-handed
justice at market rates, the occasion
being the complaint of a lady resid
ing in the extreme -western part of
the .city, who claimed to have been
shaken by an irate Chinaman because
she drove her unoffending muley cow
out of his yard. The Chinaman's de
fense vanished like the mists of the
morning before the mandate of the
court that he pay 20 including costs.
Ever since the Carrier Dove
dragged her anchor on the Columbia
cable it has been useless. Three un
successful attempts have been made
to place the break and repair the
line, and now a fourth will be made
by the government which, like Provi
dence, moves in a mysterious way its
wonders to perform. If on this oc
casion it will enable the telegraph to
plant its footsteps in the sea and ride
the raging storm, all same Providence
again, it will be a convenience to all
ooncefned.
A number of changes have been
made in the commanders of coasting
vessels. Captain Martenden has re
lieved captain'Kale of the bark D. C.
Murray, captain Schwarting, of the
bark Samoset, has been displaced by
captain Monroe, late mate of the
bark Aiden Besse; captain Sawyer,
late of the burned ship Ocean King,
takes the ship Ericlison, relieving
captain Johnson, and captain Ross,
of the sohooner Maria E. StnitJt, has
been succeeded by captain Yonn
green, formerly of the Del Norte. t
A good house greeted Dan'l Sully
and his company last night in the
play.of "Daddy Nolan," a play full of
sunshine andshadow, of mirth and
pathos, of smiles and tears, of scenes
that provoke the broadest laughter
and call tears to the. eyeB of the
audience. It was well put on the
stage and well acted, the Brooklyn
bridge lit up in the third act being
particularly well received. Sully is a
good aotor, and "Jimmy" is worthy
special mentien: the rest are fully up
to the average andT present many
pleasing specialties.
There are a good many funny
things, and some are fnnnier than
others. One of the funniest is the re
cent visit of a Chinese gardener to
the Seaside house. Everyone knows
the care and diligence bestowed by
these Chinamen on their vegetable
gardens towards Smith's Point One
of the "bosses" went over last Satur
day to. the Seaside, and contracted
with th"e manager to supply him with
vegetables from Astoria for the
season. He rode on horseback, all
same Melican man, and on his return
was quite proud of his successful ne
gotiations. Postal inspector George Mason has
received orders from Washington,
says the News, to immediately in
Bpect all the fourth class postoffices in
the district under his charge. The
magnitude of this order wUl be ap
preciated when it is learned that
there are 514 fourth class offices in
Oregon, 418 m Washington territory,
250 in Montana and 8 in Alaska. This
makes a total of 1,185. These are all
in the district under Mr. Mason's
care, and he and the inspectors under
him-have a herculean task to per
form. Following are the total number
ef postoffices above mentiened: Ore
gon, 528'; Washington, 426; Montana,
262; and Alaska, a Total, 1,224.

It goes without saying, that every
American should be familiar with the
life of Washington. The nobility of
his character, as' displayed in the
most trying circumstances, especially
his unselfish devotion to his country,
has endeared his name to countless
human hearts throughout the world.
He is admired aa a great, and rever
enced as a good man. Men will ever
thank Irving, because he, with much
enthusiasm, devoted the last years
of his honorable literary career, to
writing the life or this illustrious
patriot, soldier, and statesman.
Washington could have no better
biography. Of 'American men of let
ters, Irving was the first to win rec
ognition in European circles. His
poetio refinement, his genial humor,
his pure moral tone, and- the almost
faultless finish of his style give an
abiding value to his writings, And
his best qualities come to view iu his
Life of Washington. There i3 no
need that we should enter into a
detailed notice of a book which is so
well known, and which, by reason of
its excellence, has become an English
classic. We simply wish to call the
attention of our readers to this new
and beautiful edition which Alden is
now issuing. The excellence of
living's text is universally conceded,
ami the form in which that text is
now given to the public is, as regards.

They are both desirable locations, and
the erection of large buildings on

Samnel P. Putnam.
Of this exponent of liberal nrinci
pies, who will speak at Liberty Hall
to-morrow night, CoL EobL G. Inger
boII says: "Mr. Putnam is one of the
most thorough believera in intel
lectual liberty iu the world. He has
written some of the most stirring ap
peals to the liberals of this country I
have ever read. He believes that
freethought has a future; that the
time i3 coming when the superstitions
of this world will be forgotten or
remembered some of them with
smiles, most of them with tears. Mr.
Putnam, although endowed with a
poetic nature, with poetic insight,
clings to the known, builds upon the
experience of man and believes in
fancies only when they are used as
the wings of faot. His abilities are of
the highest order. He compels the
admiration of everyone who really
loves the just and true."
Give Them a Chance!
That is to say, your lungs. Also
your breathing maohinery. Very
wonderful machinery it is. Not only
the larger air-passages, but the thous
ands of little tubes and cavities lead
ing from them.
When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be
there, your lungs cannot half do their
work. And what they do, they can
not do well.
Call it cold, cough, croup, pneu
monia, catarrh, consumption or any of
the family of throat and nose and head
and lung obstructions, all are bad.
All ought to be got rid of. There i3
just one sure way to get rid of them,
that is to take Boschee's German
Syrup, which any druggist will sell
you at 75 cents a bottle. Even if
everything else has failed you, you
may depend upon this for certain.
