C33 xHc gutty Jlstmm ASTORIA, OREGON: SATURDAY OCfOBER 13, 1SS7 The moon is fall twice this month. G. G. Smith starts back overland to the Sinslaw this morniugwith cans and cannery supplies. The Oen. Miles came in from Shoal water bay yesterday with 1,200 cases salmon from Seaborg's cannery. The pipe line on Main street is about finished, except the connec tions. There will be a trial of the new line on Tuesday or Wednesday. We are assured by eminent scrip tural authority that "God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to per form." It certainly does look that way sometimes. A bear was killed with an explosive bullet from a rifle at Eagle Cliff last Wednesday, the bullet shattering brain's head so that that portion of his carcass was unrecognizable. The legal paper for election tickets this year is white, and of a better quality than heretofore. The Asto biak will supply tickets for the elec tion on the 8th of next month for SI per thousand. Adjutant general Shofner says the the new guns for the Oregon Nation al Guard will come from Benicia ar senal in California, and will arrive within a few days. They are 45 cali ber breech-loading rifles of Hie latest make. Willie Knemeyer, infant son of Wm. Knemeyer, died yesterday morn ing, aged one year and eleven months. The funeral will be from the family residence at two o'clock to-morrow afternoon. The interment will be on the hill. Mail advices from London Sep tember 24th regarding salmon, report that the demand is slackening, though the market is very firm, but advices from the other side are better than ever, owing to the catch of Al aska fish not turning out so large as was expected. There was a large number of new residences erected in Astoria this sea sea eon: some are still in process of com cem com pleteon: many other houses have been smartened up by paint, etc. Next season will see several impor tant brick structures worthy of any city in the Union. Yesterday afternoon two Russian Finns fell off the net racks at the Co lumbia Packing Co.'s premises and but for the timely assistance of those who saw them they would have been drowned. As it was they fortunately escaped with no greater mishap than s thorough wetting. ;f i . At a meeting of the railroad com mittee last evening at the chamber of commerce rooms, a comparison and compilation of the lists made an ag gregate of about 120,000, this exclu sive ot Col. Taylor's donation of $5,000 worth of terminal facilities, and John West's 32,000, which has a proviso of location appended. That is to say the list represents 120,000 cash, and the work for the com mittee is to raise $30,000. It is ex pected that some of that will be raised to-day. At the Spokane Falls fire tourna ment last Tuesday, in the champion hose race, wet test, run 200 yards, lay 800 feet of hose, attach pipe and throw water, the first prize, $250, and champion trumpet, valued at $125, was taken by the Seattle team in 53 seconds; second prize $150, in 564" seconds by the Tacoma team. Our Boys team, of Walla Walla, made the run in 50 seconds, but fai od to get the nozzle on. Spokane team made the run in 51 4-5 seconds and also failed to get ,he nozzle on. A young carpenter, Jas. Ellsworth, is reported by the News in jail at Vancouver, W. T., awaiting an exam ination as to,his sanity. Last Satur day he was put off the regular boat from this city at the mouth of Lake river for his queer conduct At Union he created another disturbance, frightening several women and at tacking men who approached him. Finally he was knocked down with a club. For two or three years past Ellsworth has been a resident of Oys terville. He recently "popped the question" to a young lady of that place, and his hand being refused, he disappeared the next day. This is believed to have unsettled his mind. Instantaneous photography has just been employed by S. W. Gardner to demonstrate by optical proof the fact that the upper part of the wheel of a vehicle in motion travels more quick ly than its lower part He has taken an omnibus wheel en route, and in this photograph, while the lower ends of the spokes immediately adjacent to the ground are not perceptibly un sharpened by the motion, the tops of the upper spokes show an angular motion corresponding to about ten degrees. The photograph also most successfully expresses the fact that the wheel it represents is in rapid motion. Instantaneous photography, at the rate it is going on, will soon have no more worlds to conquer. The break in the Clear creek dam, says the Oregon City Enterprise, has caused a dispute between the fish commissioners and Mr. Paquet From Mr. Day we 4earn that Mr. Paquet came away from the work on some business, intending to return and spend some time filling in to strength en the structure. In his absence water was turned into the dam and the gates closed to throw it into the race and raise it to a certain height After thirty-Bix hours the dam broke. The commissioners claimed that it was Mr Paquet's place to fix the break, while he claimed that their turning in the water without his permission was a virtual acceptance as the dam broke through no fault of his. He of fered to repair it and warrant it for six months for 51UUU, or to give nis time and board himself to oversee the hands, the commissioners to pay the hands. As the dam is being repaired it is likely that the latter proposition has been accepted. Eeports from New York seem to in dicate that the new Northern Pacific directory is not having such an easy time of it after all. The bitter fight which was kept up all summer for the control of the road was supposed to ltave come to an end at the annual meeting on the 15th of last month, and to have been settled by the com promise which admitted Villard into the directory as a sort of mediator between the two factions. Meetings of the directors are being held daily in New York, however, in the endeav or to arrange matters pertaining to the lease, of the O. B. & N., and the proper loan of from $5,000,000 to $12, 000,000, But they do not appear to be having the smoothest kind of a time of it, as nothing has been agreed upon. It has often been stated that Yillard and Wright could agree no better than oil and water would mix. Stories are also floating about New York about a row between Villard and Belmont, and the prospect is that the end of the great fight between the two opposing factions will con tinue as long as the discordant ele ment is in the directory. INFORMATION WANTED. The following is given insertion as the quickest and snrest way of ascer taining the information sought for. Any one having any knowledge of the matter will do the writer of the letter a favor by writing him regarding his inquiries. Moncton-, N. B., Oct. 4th, 1887. Editor Asteman: I see in The Weekly Astoician of Sept. 24th, which came to hand yes terday, a notice of the death of Lem on McKay in the hospital. I think it must be my brother, Lemuel C. McKay. Ho left home about thirty three or thirty -four years ago and has never been home since. He was in all parts of the world. He went to the Pacific coast from New Zealand in October, 1879. He was in the life saving service at Fort Canby and af terwards at Shoalwater bay. I have a ,'great number of his letters. He was a native of Princetown, Prince Edward's Island was born there on August 1st, 1833, which would make him 54 years of age the 1st of last August. He subscribed for The Weekly Astorian soon after going to Oregon and has had it sent to me ever since. The Astobian is addressed to "Arch'd McCoy," which is a mistake. My name should be written Archi bald McKay, or A, McKay. Howev er, I have always received the paper all right I have not received a letter from my brother Lemuel for some time, and think that the Lemon Mo Kay, whose death was noticed in The Astorian of the 24th Sept., must be my brother the name Lemon being a mistake for Lemuel. Would you be bo kind as to make enquiries at the Forts and the hos pital and give me all the information you can respecting him, and the injuries he received causing his death, as stated in your paper. Did he leave any property, and was his life insured? All the men here in the government railroad employ are insnred against accident by the gov ernment, and as the Forts are gov ernment institutions it may bo the same in your country. By making enquiries and writing me all the information you can you will confer a great favor on me and all his relations and friends. Yours respectfully, Archibald McKay. Please address to Archibald Mc Kay, Moncton, New Brunswick, Can ada. A Rousiujr lecture. Last night Prof. McDonald delivered a rousing lecture on Phrenology, Hu man Nature, and Self Improvement. Liberty Hall was packed with an audi ence who listened attentively during the entire lecture, which was one of the best ever delivered in our city.

The order reliev ing Gen. Boulanger from his com mand and placing him under arrest directs that he be placed under close arrest for thirty days: during that time the ministry will decide whether he becdeprived of his command or not. The radical members of the chamber of deputies to-day decided to make him a candidate of that body if he resigned or was removed from his command. Bumors are persist ently circulated to-day that Boulan ger had resigned his commission in the army. COMMERCIAL UNION. Toronto, Oct. 14. The Mail says secretary Bayard intends to offer commercial union with Canada as the basis of settlement of the fisheries embroglio. Either commercial union or nothing. It was this cicumstance, the Mail intimates, which caused Sir John McDonald to give way to Sir Charles Tupper as Canada's repre sentative on the fishery commission. Was the idea of commercial union distasteful to Sir John McDonald? DENIED A CHARTER. Austin-, Texas, Oct. 14. The Mata dor Land and Cattle company, incor-. porated in bcotland with a capital of four hundred thousand pounds, has been refused a charter to do business in Texas. xVttorney-general Hogg de cides that to grant a charter would be clearly repugnant to public inter ests and declares that even a domes tic corporation could not get a char ter for the purpose of purchasing and owning real estate in Texas, when such is their main purpose. LOST AT SEA. London, Oct 14. The British ship Monarch, Capt Corbett, from Manil la, August 30th, for New Yrork, has been lost on Mindoro island. The captain and three of the crew, nnmed Drews, Bedford and Crupp, were drowned. The remainder of tho crew arrived at Manilla. CAUGHT THE BUTTERFLY. New York, Oct. 14. Thomas K. Beecher has accepted the greenback nomination for secretary of state. SIR CHARLES SELECTED. Ottawa, Oct. 14. Sir Charles Tup per has been selected as the Canadian representative on the fishery commis sion. CASTLE GARDEN AFFAIRS. Washington', D. C, Oct. 14. The special report of commissioner Okie in regard to the emigration commis sion at New York City is said to rec ommend a radical change in the meth ods of conducting immigration affairs at Castle Garden. Secretary Fair child has the matter under considera tion, and will act upon it in a few days. There is said to be great dis satisfaction over the present state of affairs, and that the treasury depart ment is disposed to abrogate the con tract with the present commissioner. ON BEHALF OF THE INDIAN'S. Washington, D. C, Oct. 14. The interior department has decided to adhere to the rule in force not to is sue permits to persons to enter the the Indian territory for hunting, fish ing, eta, and has recently refused to issue permits on several requests. The action of the department is influ enced by the objections of the In dians. Persons having important business in the territory can procure permits as heretofore. In Brief, and to The 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 wonderful things in existence. It is easily put out of order. Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular habits, and nany other things which ought not to be, have made the American people n na tion 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. Remember: Nd happiness without health. But Green's August Flower brings health and happiness to the dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for a bottle. Seventy-five cents. This Is Either True or Falsi. Maine, after thirty-five years of pro hibition, as statistics furnished by her own officials prove, shows a larger proportion of arrests for drunkenness than Oregon. Portland, Maine, has just about the same number of inhab itants as Portland, Oregon, yet the number of arrests in the eastern city for drunkenness and disorderly con duct has averaged for years over 1,600 per annum, while in the western city the number has been and is far less. Oregonian, 13. Tlieir Business Booming. Probably no one thing has caused such a general revival of trade at W. E. Dement & Co.'s Drug Store as their giv ing away to their customers of so many free trial bottles of Dr. King's New Dis covery for Consumption. Their trade is simDlv enormous in this very valu able article from the fact that it always cures and never disappoints. Coughs. Colds, Asthma, Bronchitis, Croup, and all throat and lung diseases quickly cured. You can test It before buying by getting a trial bottle free, large size Si. Every bottle warranted.
