ceives deservedly extended notice.

witnessed by a good-sized crowd at
Portland last Sunday afternoon.
Pete Grant and Tom Linville were
judges. The race was jun in about
10 seconds. They both got to the
string so close together that the
referee declared it a tie, and all bets
were "off." There is considerable
kicking about the decision, many
claiming that Kea won the race by
about eighteen inches. Linville is
positive that Kea won the race and
ought to have the money; Grant is
equally positive that the race was a
tie: Cap. Sorensen, the referee, de
clared it to be a tie.

Death of ji Former Olit Astorian.
A good many old residents of Astoria
will read with interest of the death of
Capt William Tichenor, who died at
the residence of his daughter, Mrs.
E. W. McGraw, in San Francisco,
last Wednesday. He was born in
Newark, N. J., in 1813, and came to
this coast in '49. In 1851 he was
master of the full-rigged brig Emily
Farnham, plying between here and
San Francisco. Afterwards he was
in command of the steamer Sea Qull
which he lost on Humboldt bar in
January, '52, when he was placed in
charge of the ship Anson, which will
be remembered as sailingbetween here
and San Francisco. In 1851 he was a
Columbia bar pilot and was for
awhile on the Feytona. Twenty
years ago he quit the sea and moved
away from this vicinity, living for a
long time in southern Oregon and of
late years m San Francisco.
Unnecessary Misery.
Probably as much misery comes
from habitual constipation as from
any derangement of the functions of
the body, and it is difficult to cure,
for the reason tbat no one likes to
take the medicines usually pre
scribed. HAMBURG FIGS were
prepared to obviate this difficulty,
and they will be found pleasant to
the taste of women and children. 25
cents. At all druggists. J. J. Mack

LATEST FROM MILLER'S SANDS.
Sunday's Astobian contained a
brief resume of hostilities at Miller's
sands to data When Chas. Woods
returned on his boat to that classic
battle ground, early Sunday morning
he camped on the field, so to speak,
that is he anchored his steamer, and
he and his crew consisting of John
Hooker, the engineer, went to sleep.
They were awakened shortly alter
sunrise by shouts from the opposing
faction, who appeared in force armed
for the fray. Rifle shots struck the
smokestack, the woodwork and en
tered the engine room, and when the
engineer went out to take up the an
chor he received two rifle balls in his
right arm splintering the bone.
When the smoke of conflict had
cleared away, Woods started down to
Astoria again, bearing the wounded
engineer, who was taken to the hos
pital and given surgical aid. When
the doctor went there yesterday
morning to afford him further neces
sary relief he found his man gone,
taken back to the scene of conflict as
a necessary witness, it being Woods'
intention to have his antagonists ar
rested and hauled up befofo justice
cf the peace Walker at Cathlamet.

and so his case stands.
A late arrival from the seat of war
who came down yesterday afternoon
as witness in a Chinese case, says
that there was more shooting going
on between the belligerents yester
day. Some one will get hurt up

That is to say, your lungs. Also
your breathing machinery. Very
wonderful machinery it is. Not only
the larger air-passages, but the thous

When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be
there, your lungs cannot half do their
work. And what they dp, they can
not do well.
Call it cold, cough, croup, pneu

the family of throat and nose and head

All ought to be got rid of. There is
just one sure way to get rid of them,
that is to take Boschee's German
