DEATH OF CAPTAIX A. D. WASS. It with the deepest regret the com munity learned yesterday oi tueaectn of Captain A. D. Wass. un xuesaay he was stricken with paralysis at the seashore and the next afternoon was conveyed to his rooms over G. Han sen's jewelry store, where he lay par tially conscious and able to express himself till half past one yesterday morning, wnen no gaspea two or three times and died. Flags were hung at half mast yesterday and numerous were the expressions of re gret at the passing away of a man, who, probably, didn't have an enemy in the world. A. D. Wass was born in Machias, Maine, June 28th, 1825. He came here as first mate of the Helen W. Almy in 1864, and landed several of the large guns at Forta Stevens and Canby. He was afterwards master of Captain Flavel's vessel, the Jane L. Falkinberg, and for many years af terwards was a pilot on the Columbia river bar; of later years being bar pilot on one of the San Franoisco steamers. About January" 1st, '81, he retired from active life, and since then has spent his time in this vicin ity. Of late he had had very poor health, but he was not one of the complaining kind, and to the last had a joke and a word for everyone. He was a universal favorite.and those who spent much time in his company never heard him say a mean or malicious thing about anyone. His death is sincerely regretted by many who knew and liked the genial old man. His sou was telegraphed to in Sau Francisco, but will not be pres ent at his funeral, which will take place from Coroner Ross' rooms at two o'clock this afternoon. The remains will be interred by those of his wife who died about eight years ago and who lies buried on the hillside. The funeral services-will be held at the Episcopal church. Died Suddenly Anions StraiKeir, A umu ou a railroad train between Hood River and The Dalles died sud denly lftbt week, he being found life less "in his seat when the train stopped at a station. The remains were brought to The Dalles and an inquest held. Several letters from his wife were found in his pockets, and from these it is learned that he left a fam ily of five children, the youngest of whom, "little Davy," seemed to be his father's pet. The letters, poorly spelled aud almost illegible, were full of tenderness aud anxiety for the ab sent husband, and were peuned by an honest and true woman. It was piti ful to stand beside the dead man and read the messages from homo filled with the humble home cares of his little family. The letters tell of how many "rows of potatoes and com" were planted; how Bertha was "work ing out"; how 'Tdm chewed ten cents' worth of tobacco a week," und how Davy, "little Davy," wished he had wings to fly out where his papa was; how the true loving woman wanted him to "come back and we will make a living somehow," and "if you were hero, I could earn $20 a month if you could take care of little Davy." All very common, very prosaic, but some how it seemed lifted above the common-place when read beside the poor remnant of mortality, whose eyes will never more moisten over messages from home. Poor woman! Poor "little Davy!" The Waterway Convention. The Columbia waterway conven tion, it should be remembered, wee! at Astoria on the 3d of August, one week from next Wednesday; City and town councils, boards of county commissioners, boards of trade, chambers of commerce and all other organized official or business bodies in Oregon, Washington and Idaho are invited and urged to send dele gates. Under the rules of the con vention, each corporation or organ ization is entitled to send; ten repre sentatives. The convention will last two days and will probably resolve itself into a permanent river improve ment society; There is no time to lose in the appointment of delegates and care should be taken to name persons who will attend. The whole of this effort depends upon its pepu: larity. A convention leanly attended! showing a lax public interest, will do more harm than good. We want to show that every person in the coun try is interested in this river enter prise and to give an emphatic ex pression of the universal sentiment here in favor of the policy of river and harbor improvement by the gen eral government Oregonian, 25. m m Renews Herl'eutli. Mrs. Phoebe Chesley. reterson, Clay Co Iowa, tells the following story, the truth of which Is vouched for by the residents of the tewn: "I ani 73 years old, have been troubled with kidney complaint and lameness for many years: could not dress myself without help.

Also Yery wonderful machinery it is. NoTonly 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, cougu, croup, pneu monia, catarrh, consumption or any of the family of throat and nose and head and lung obstructions, all aro bad. All ought to be got rid of. There is just one sure way to get rid of them, that is to take Bosohee's German Syrup, which any druggist will sell you at 75 cents a bottle.

Editor Asterian: In the fertile and pleasautly sit uated Skamokawa valley, where a few since there was only a wilderness, there are now nearly a hundred pros perous settlers nnd four thoroughly organized school districts. Miss Cahalin, of Portland, is teaching in the eastern district; Miss O'Conor, a resident of the county, and Miss Ross, of Milwnnkie, are teaching in the central districts; Miss Sarah Ca hill, niece of our enterprising citizen, John Fitzpatrick, has just closed her term in the western division of the valley. This is the first term taught here by Miss Cahill, aud, judging from fho satisfaction expressed by parents and the proficiency exhibited by the children at the close of her school, both teacher aud scholars are entitled to the highest praise. The term closes thus early so as to allow time to build a greatly needed new rchool house on the site of the old one this fall. This accomplished, and the liberal allowance of the com missioners for Bchool purposes (seven mills of the taxes collected), together with a small amonnt subsonbed, there can hereafter be a six or more mouths sohool kept during the year.
