The tap of the fire bell at 12;53 r.
at., yesterday brought out the depart
ment on the run. A little fire around
the flue in the roof of Frank Fabre's
restaurant, was tho cause. The dam
age was trifling.
To-day is the day prescribed by
law for the beginning of the close
season for salmon on the Columbia
river. The amount of the pack up to
date is difficult to estimate, but it is
away behind the amount last year up
-to this time.
The county court, which adjourned
on the 18th to the 30th to take into
consideration the matter of tho West
port road, met yesterday, but no one
appearing, the court adjourned sine
die. Its next meeting will be held
on Monday, September 5th.
The Indians used to take the salm
on berries as indicative of the salmon,
their experience being that as with one
so with the other. The rule seems to
work this year, as the salmon berries
in these parts have been very late
and very few of them, not half a crop.
The" Mountain Queen has been
chartered for to-day's excursion
and picnic by the Scandinavian Be
nevolent Society. The boat will
make landings, going and coming, at
the Fisherman's Packing Co., and the
Scandinavian Packing Co.'s premises,
npper Astoria.
Portland is in earnest in its de
mand for a new hotel. Tho board of
trade advertises in leading eastern
cities that it will put up one-fourth
of the sum required to build and run
a first-class hotel in that city, the
amount to be not less than S500.000.
That's business.
The inhabitants of Ilwaco were
awakened about one o'clock yester
day morning by tho cry of "fire," and
the premises of Dan. Markham were
found to be in flames. The building
burned to the greund: the fire is sup
posed to have been the work of an
incendiary: loss, S1.800: insurance,
1,000.
Seaside Lodge No. 12, A. O. U. W..
has been presented with a fine piece
of work in the shape of a silver
enohor and shield, in relief on crim
son velvet, surrounded by gold, and
bullion tassels. It is presented to
the banner lodge of the order in the
northwest by P. G. M., E. M. Bead
ing, of San Francisco, and is rightly
reckoned as a worthy emblem of the
order and a fitting tribute to the en
ergy of the lodge.
The Scandinavian Benevolent So
ciety will have their picnic and ex
cursion to-doy, the boat leaving
the O. R. & N. dock at nine in tho
morning, and lauding at Upper As
toria for the convenience of residents
in that section. There will bo danc
ing at Kuappa in tho hall, and the
steamer returns at six o'clock. The
Western Amateur band accompanies
the excursion.
"Standing room only" was all that
could be had at the theater last even
ing, so great was the crowd to see the
spectaoular collection of specialties
which under the name of "The Dev
il's Auction," proved so attractive.
It is made up of a multitude of cood
features, danomg, costumes, clever
trioks, contortionists, and with a
stage large enough to admit of scenic
effects is a sort of modified version
of "Iha Black Crook." The troupe
give all they advertise and present a
show that will take "immense" in the
north west
- A San Francisco report says: "As a
consequence of the extraordinary de
mand for salmon, which cannot be
met, all the large dealers are tender
ing fall fish and Alaska fish to buy
ers of Columbia river salmon in east
ern states in lieu of their original
purohase, and large quantities of
Alaska fish are being taken in substi
tution for Columbia river, at the
original Columbia river figure. The
Sacramento river, for the past four
days, has been doing well. The us
ual fall pack is now taking place. It
is"" estimated by conservative authori
ties as likely to be from twelve to
twenty, thousand cases.'

Richard Harcrater, who lived hero
for about a year, working at grading

Democrat it is learned that he was
"arrested there last week charged with
the commission of a murder in Illi
nois in 1875. Being interviewed, he
said that one night in February, 1875,
at Stroud Station, Pike Co., His.,
ho went to a dance, and while on the
floor with his partner, a man named
Clarke Daniels shoved against them,
almost knocking his partner down.
When remonstrated with ho used vul
gar language and drawing a slung
shot hit Harcrater on the head with
it. As he went to hit him ou the
head a second time Harcrater shot
him through tho neck. Daniels died
instantly. Harcrater left on foot,
went to Iowa, then to Kansas and
Nebraska, and thence to this state.
This is the story ho tells tho Demo

A LETTER FR03I SAN FRANCISCO.
San Francisco, July 27th, 1687.
That the youDg ladies of the Pacific
Coast do not propose to allow even
their sisters in "cultured Boston to
excel them in the art of makine their
meetings for festive purposes occas
ions, aiso, lor intelligent sooial inter
course, and interchanging of ideas, is
shown by the fact that there is, at
this moment, in session in San Fran
cisco an organization known as "The
Native Daughters of the Golden
West" The present convention is
the meeting of the "Grand Parlor,"
and it is attended by delegates from
each of the seventeen other parlors
that have been duly chartered in the
extreme west The association was
inaugurated in October of last year
by Miss Lily Beicbling, and it has
now upwards of 1,500 members. The
greater part of each day's session has
been devoted to address, and intellec
tual discussion, but the evil of "all
work and no play" has been amply
recognized, and the evenings have
been largely given up to receptions,
parties, and other enjoyments dear to
the heart of every young woman
whose father delights to empty his
plethoric purse into her hands when
ever she sewa a button upon his
rthirt The delegates are all provided
with homes in private houses, and
on Thursday, at the close of their
labors, they will attend a grand ball.
The fire which laid in ashes the es
tablishment of Palmer & Rey on
Sunday afternoon was caused by the
overflow of a great tank of boiliui?
syrup in a manufactory in the rear of
the building. The man in charge of
the bubbling mass left the room for
n few minutes, and the superheated
pnntouts of the great ketllo poured
into tho furnace, caught fire, and
carried the flames over the floor.
The damage done is said to exceed
330,000, all teld: but the trouble and
expense that will fall this week upon
several scores of country newspapers
that Rev & Palmer supplied with the
useful and inuoceut "patent outside
tdieera" cannot be estimated by dol
lars and cents.
A convention of dentist?, at which
the tooth drawing talent from all
parts of the states lying upon the Pa
cific coast was represented, was in
session here for nearly a week, and
has just closed its labors, and carried
away on its minutes a record of the
heroic conduct of Dr. Hayes who al
lowed one of the attendants to carve
a large hole in his jaw bone, in the
presence of many scientific men, and
interested visitors, and Fcrcw a sound
tooth into the cavity, refusing to take
anything to deaden the pain, in order
that he might afterwards be able to
describe his sensations. He said the
lancing of the gumfl gave him the
most "annoyance; but it was all, he
admitted, excessively disagreeable.
A young lady whose lips were red
and ripe, her teeth white and firm,
and her breath fragrant with Sozo
dont, remarked, somewhat contempt
uously, after witnessing the opera
tion, that if the dentist had taken the
same care of his teeth that she had
bestowed upon hers he would not
have been called upon m the cause of
science.
A singular and decidedly praise
worthy practice is becoming quite
popular in the fish markets of San
Francisco. Many of the stalls have
fish, large and small, that have been
skinned, boned and cleaned, and aro
warranted not to choke or in any
way inconvenincd persons eating
them. The bone3, even of the most
bristling of fishes, are removed with
wonderful skill before the eyes of the
purchaser, and a shad or a herring, is
made as inuoxious to the palate a3 a
veal sweet-bread, Of course such
luxury costs a little more per pound
than the fish of thick hide and many
bones; but with an assurance of safe
ty to the windpipe, who considers the
expense:

AS TOLD BT DEACON 8TTLLWATEB.
His name was William Mull ins, and
He had a sneerin' way
Of turnin' his proboscis up
At everything you'd say.
"Wall, now, how do you know?" said ho;
"Humpn, now, now do you know.' "
The way it closed the argumont
It wasn't by no means slow.
You might be talkin' social like
With fellows at tho store
Ou war or politics and sich,
And you might have the floor
And be a-gettin' it down fine,
Provin' that things was bo.
When Mullina would stick his long nose in
With "Humph, now, how doyou know?"
I seen that critter set in church
And take a sermon in,
And turn his nose up in a sneer
At death and grace and sin.
With no regard for time or place
Or realms of endless woe,
He'd rise and burst the whole thing up
With "Humph, now, how do you know?'
He cut his grass whene'er it rained,
He shocked his wheat up green,
He cut his com behind the frost,
His hog3 was alius lean.
He built his stacks the big end up,
Hi? corn cribs big end down;
"Crooked as Mullins' roadside fence"
Was a proverb in our town.
The older he got the wus he grew,
And crookeder day by day;
The squint of his eyes would wind a clock,
His toes turned out each way;
His boots and shoes were both of them
lefts;
The rheumatiz twisted so;
Bat if yon ssid he didn't look well
He'd, growl, "Now, how do yon know?"
And that darned grit led to his death
He was on the railroad track,
Crossin' a bridge: I hoard tho train
And yelled, "Mullins, come back!
The train is around the curve in sight!"
Says he, "Humph, how do yoa know?
I helped to gather him up in a psil
The engine scattered him so.
I think it's best to have more faith
In everv-dny concerns
And not be alius a snoopin' round
To pit behind the returns.
A plain statement will do for me
A hint instead of n blow;
A coroner's jury may fetch out facts,
lint it'.-? rather late to know.
In Brief, Ami t Hip 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 ensily
put out of order. t
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry, late
hours, irregular habits, and many
other things which ought not to be,
have made the American people a
nation of dyspeptics.
Rut Green's August Flower has
done a wonderful work in reforming
this sad buaiuess and making the
American people so healthy that they
can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember: No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health aud happiness to the
dyspeptic Ask your druggist for a
bottle. Seventy-five cents.
Harmless "Arsenic."
Tho great alarm spread over the in
habitants of a great fiat house up
town. Little Johnny Jumpup had
fonnd a hox of his motlifir's nrspnipnl
lozenges that she took carefully three
times u wuy tur uer cumpiexion, anu no
had eaten all at one sitting. Servants
flew for doctors, and doctors flew for
the flat. Ono physician rattled off in
his coupe to the maker of the beau
tifying pills. In hasty accents he
related the ca3e and begged to know
what proportion of arsenic infested a
box of his wafers.
"Re under no alarm," said the drug
gist; "take the stomach pump out of
little Johnny. Thero isn't a particle
of arsenic in a barrel of 'em. They
contain something that promotes di
gestion and stirs the torpid liver.
Johnny's liver may be abnormally
active for a few days, and he can eat
a paper of tacks with as much confi
dence as if ho were an ostrich, but no
further effects will be felt from my
matchless wafers."
"There is no arsenic in nrsampnl
lozenges then?"
".Not a gram; but women do hanker
to take something with nrsnnin in it
The name is a great Buccess, and my
puis are saving lots or ladies from the
damaging effects of arsenical solution
and other preparations of that fatal
drug.
The report of the doctor at the
Aldobella Flats relieved our fond
mother's heart, but every so many
ladies are disgusted that they have
been taking rhubarb and looking
daily in their anxious faces for tho
work of arsenic Clara Belle.
