A Shocking Arciilent On the Telephone near St. Helens, last Sunday morning, we heard of a terrible accident that happened near there the evening before. Aaron Broyles, an old trapper and hunter, and a noted Rooky Mountain path finder in early days, had many years ago come to St. Helens and taken up a claim close by and was there pass ing his declining years. His little grandson, Aaron Kelly, a lad of 13, lived with him, and tho two were children together. On the fatal even ing the old man showed the boy how to load a Henry rifle and told him to shoot at a mark in the yard. The boy, eager and excited, wheeled to ward the mark and the muzzle of the rifle came into range with the old man's body, just as, in some unac countable way, tho weapon was dis charged, tearing a hole through the poor old man's body. He fell to tho groun&and expired in a few moraentp. The boy is frantic with grief, and the sad affair has cast a gloom over the entire community. Some New Boolts.

Will had a seat alongside tho driver, an old timer who drove between Portland and Sacrnmento steen years ago and the old fellow told him many droll legends of the bygone. Ghe Them a Chanre! That is to say, your lungs. Also your breathing machinery. Very wonderful machinery it is. Not only tho larger air-passages, but the thous ands of little tnbes 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 tbeii work. And what they do, thoy can not do well. Call it cold, cough, croup, pneu monia, catarrh, consumption or any of the family of throat and nose and head and lung obstruction, all aro bad. All ought to be got rid of. There is just one Bure way to get rid of them. that is to take Boschees German Syrup, which any druggist will sell you. at 75 cents a bottle.

Active preparations are being made by several of the Washington terri tory aud Oregon salmon canneries for a resumption ot operations this fall. Bay View, Cathlamet, Brook field, Occidental, George & Barker and others have started and several others will be in operation this week. There is a present large run in the river, the quality of which is pro nounced second only to tho unri valed Columbia river spring salmon. The salmon now in the river are of a species hard to determine. After the first fall rains come the "silver sides," to catch which fishermen use a 7( net. The fact that some of them are getting ready their summer nets, with an 8) mesh, indicate that the smaller silveroide run is not con sidered to have yet begun. The amount of tho fall Dick on the Columbia this season will, probably, be determined by the number of emp ty cans on hand. Where there is such a supply as, for instance, in the North Shore cannery, the pack will be proportionately larger than where there are fewer cans on hand. The fall pack is a direct benefit to Astoria and vicinity and is almost totally devoid of the objectionable features that surround indiscriminate packing of spring and summer fish. The species of salmon from this on aro presumably of less commercial va)ne than the earlier runs and are said to bo of a speoies that do not go to the headwaters to spawn as do the spring salmon, The money paid for the raw material of the fall pack goes almost entirely to resident Bsh ennen and is kept here and put in circulation among Astoria merchants to a greater degree than that paid out earner in tue season. Sheriff Albert of Wahkiakum coun ty, 13 in receipt of letters from Gov ernor Semple nnd district attorney Robinson, in which it is stated that no attempt will bo made to rigidly construe the Washington territory law regarding the remainder of the close season, which expires on the 30th inst. A Sound tegtsl Opinion. E. Bainbridge Munday Esn County Atty., Clay Co., Tex. says: "Have used Electric Bitters with most happy results. My brother also was Very low with Ma larial Fever and Jaundice, but was cured by timely use of this medicine. Am satisfied Electric Bitters saved his life.' Mr. D. I. Wilcoxson, of Horse Cae, Ky adds a like testimony, saying: He positively believes he would have died, had it not been for Electric Bitters. This great jemedy will ward off, as well as cure all Malarial Diseases, and for all Kidney, Liver and Stomach Dis orders stands unequaled. Price "K)c. and $1. at W. E. Dement & Co.'s A Card.
