. The town is full of book agents;
they nil seem to prosper.
New honse3 going up in every di
rection. Carpenters and builders nil
busy.
And now they are wondering up in
Portland if Ben Holladay left a will.
So far none has been found.
The Tacoma Ledger has a neat

Mount Rainier in the middle of it
"Fried cucumbers" are the latest.
A man or woman that would fry cu

At the state fair at Salem in Sep

Sailors are said to be so scarce at
Port Townsend and elsewhere that
ship owners are contemplating hav

the lack.
The Young's river falls pulp mill is
going right ahead, and the machinery
will soon be in position. In another

"Col." Dell, editor of the Democrat,
had another row last Monday with a
former employe named Goodkiud,
who claimed that Dell owed him for

Messrs. Eyrie, Worsley and Dunbar
got back safely from the headwaters
of the Lewis & Clarke, with 300 fish.
Two other fishing parties also re
turned with an equal number. They
didn't use gill nets; just hook and
line.
The Oregon Sif tings thinks that it
isn't right to publish divorce sum
mons in an obsenre newspaper of no
circulation. But, my dear boy, don't
you know that obscurity is ofttimes
one of the necessary elements of suc
cess in those cases.
There is probably no city in the
United States that is freer from the
annoyances of flies, bugs, mosquitoes
and pother insects than Astoria.
Their presence is almost unknown,
and occasionally for a day or so, come
a few troublesome flies, as if to show
our usual immunity from those pests
of the house and office.
The State, bound to San Francisco,
took 200 cases salmon yesterdny
morning. The San Francisco salmon
shipments this year have been very
meager. Lumber, in the shape of
shooks, box material, lath, etc., is
the principal shipment at present.
Our Astoria mills are supplying a
fine article in that line to the San
Francisco market.
In the police court yesterday a
Mongolian damsell, a daughter of Ah

Several Chinese afflicted with the
horrible disease of leprosy have been
confined of late in the Multnomah
county pest house, and the Sif tings
is informed that these loathsome

lets out the juicy blackberry from
that section for this season if -we
know ourself.

took place from coroner Boss's un
dertaking rooms at two o'clock yes
terday afternoon. Messrs. Fulton,
Beed, McTicar, Trenchard, Fox and
Robs were pall bearers. The funeral
cortege was made up of personal
friends of the deceased, and if every
one who had kindly feeling for Capt
Wass were in the procession it
would have been the longest ever
seen in this state. Arrived at the
Episcopal church, the ritual "for the
dead was gone through with by the
rector, Rev. W. S. Short, and from
there the body was conveyed to the

"One of the prettiest sights I kuow

were visible from the steamship deck

would go darting and dancing
through the water, leaving a phospho
rescent wake of the greatest bril
liancy." Drowned At Snag Island.
Yesterday afternoon, at Snag Isl
and, near Miller's Sands, about ten
miles up the river, John Bossen saw
his boat go adrift and went out to

surface almost immediately and again
sank, this time finally. Up to last
evening the body had not been re
covered. He was a native of Finland,
unmarried, aged 27, and a member of
the Columbia Biver Fishermen's Pro
tective union and the Pacific Coast
Seamen's union.
In Brief, And to tlie Point.
Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and won
derful things in existence. It is easily
put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry, late
hours, irregular nabita, and many
other things which ought not to be,
have made the American people a
nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done a wonderful work in reforming
this, sad business and making the
American people so healthy that they
can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Bemember: No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the
dyBpeptic. Ask your druggist for a
bottle. Seventy-five cents.

Catarrh to Consumption.
Catarrh in its destructive force stands next
to and undoubtedly leads on to consumption.
Jt is therefore singular that thoso afflicted
with this fearful disoaso should not make It
tho object of their lives to rid themselves of
it. Deceptive remedies concocted by ignorant
pretenders to medical knowledge have
weakened tho confidence of tho great
majority of sufferers in all advertised rom
odios. They become resigned to a lifo of
misery rather than torture themselves with
doubtful palliatives.
But this will never do. Catarrh must be
met at every stags and combated with all
our might. In many cases tho di'oaso has
assumed dangerous symptoms 'iho bones
and cartilage of the noso. tbo organs of hear
ing, of seeine and of tastinc so affected as to
be useless, tho uvula so elongated, the throat
eo inflamed and irritated as to produco n
constant and distressing cough.
SAxroun's Radical Cuhk meets every
phase of Catarrh, from a simple head cold to
the most loathsomo and destructive stages.
It is locaLand constitutional. Instant in re
