The Astobian congratulates Frauk on his accession to a good business.

B. & N. dock, then went into the undertaking business, was elected and re-elected coroner, and rustled considerable on the out side. He is a live man an'd will be missed.

Eastward will be theliouse, a brick structure. The work is going right on, and will be pushed to completion. Mr. Mayo has had a moist job in getting the foundation dry: tho rest of it is comparatively easy. Old Times on the liar. "That looks like old times," said Capt. Hustler, on the Main street wharf last Wednesday afternoon, as the pilot schooner C. G. White stood out to sea, the big black "2" showing on her white mainsail. "It is like going back to first principles," said the captain. "In the spring of 1849 there was a pilot schooner on the bar, the Mary Taylor and in 1852 came the California. Both those vessels came round the Horn." Capt. Hus tler was on the bar as a pilot for many years, finally leaving it in-18G7. Fishermen's Union Organizations. . A Branch of the- C. R. F. P.

The following from The Astori au's Ilwaco correspondent in refer ence to a former Astorian and well known resident of Pacific county will be read with personal interest by the missing mau's friends and acquaint ances: Ilwaco, September 8th. Editor Asteriax: O. A. Beed, a gentleman well known throughout this county and some time ago a resident of Astoria, has been missing for over a week and his friends suspect he has met with foul play. A week ago last Monday or Tuesday he remarked he was going to Astoria to collect some money, and started to go. He missed the first boat, but declared ho would bo sure and be on time for the second or afternoon boat At that time he was dressed in a suit of blue. Yes terday his room at the Ilwaco hotel was opened with a pass key and the same suit was found therein, also his wntch and spectacles, and a cane which he was accustomed to carry everywhere. The key found on the body lately found at the cape fits the door of Mr. Beed's room. The coro ner informed your correspondent that the body found had no marks of violence upon it. On the other hand, the bearer of the message from the capo to the coroner told hero that over the loft eye of the dead man was a bullet hole and knife cut on the neck. All kinds of rumors are about and it's difficult to get the true facts. X. This suggests further inquiry. The verdict of the coroner's jury should throw some light on this mysterious affair. Inquiry here develops the fact that his usual business associates and friends in this city had not seen him during the last ten days. LATER. The Astoriak is in receipt of posi tive information that the body found floating near Cape Hancock at noon last Tuesday was the dead body of C. A. Beed. Coroner Hanselman and two other men held an inquest, their verdict being unknown, beyond the conclusion that it was the body of a stranger, and the body was buried near Fort Canby. Suspicion being aroused, a party of citizens went out from Ilwaco yesterday, exhumed the body and identified it as the body of C. A. Beed. Another jury was im paneled, but TnE Astorian was un able last night to get their verdict. It is probable, howover, that it will be found to bo a case of accidental drowning. Cnttinp Down the HilN. Every year the work goes on of cutting down the hills to the south and benching off the knolls and knobs that formerly sloped down to the beach. A noticeable illustration of the way the work is done is afforded by a stroll from Polk . to Lafavette street south of Astor. Here there is a sheer cliff of 80 feet in height, cut down to near the level of the grade from which tens of thousands of yards of earth and rock has been removed. Above near the tree roots. is a dull red clay, below is a grayish stoney earth, that would be rock if let alone another million of years, and a bluish, cherty formation that slip3 and slides when wet There are a hundred different strata exposed, and half way down from the top the pick and shovel make very little im pression on it. It takes blasting powder, and while the chunks aud boulders that are rolled out are very hard and firm at first and seem as though they would stand the ele ments for years, a few weeks' expos ure to the air turns them as soft as ashes and they crumble into fine dust. Messrs. Flavel, Bogers, Bowlby, Meyers and others have cut nway a large area of surfaco and the work will be continued still further south. Give Them a Chanre! That is to say, your luugs. Also your breathing machinery. 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 theii work. And what they do, they can not do well. Call it cold, cough, croup, pneu monia, catarrh, consnmption'or any of the family of throat and nose and head and lung obstructions, all are bad. All ought to bo got rid of. There is 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, yon may depend upon this for certain. PERSONAL MENTION. W. T. Chutterhas been constituted manager of the Astoria business of A. Booth & Sons.
