About The daily morning Astorian. (Astoria, Or.) 1883-1899 | View Entire Issue (Oct. 18, 1887)
cv ASTORIA, OREGON: TUESDAY OCTOBER IS, 18S7 Skating at the rink to-night. The Clatsop ferry has temporarily suspended operations. Selig & Surprenant, the champion dead wall decorators, were busy yes terday. The Astorian is confidentially told of seven weddings to take place be tween now and 1888. The Astoria Building & Loan asso ciation is going right ahead and is a prosperous and profitable enterprise. The connections in the Main street pipe line are all male and pronouned satisfactory. A test of the line will be made to.-day or to.-morrow. The Lone Star Packing company, at thcSiuslaw, of which G. 6. Smith is manager, report a good run of fish and a satisfactory pack thus far. r Portland has given up the idea of raising the hotel subsidy and pro poses to build the hotel with money raiseHn the city. That's business. Capt. J. G. Hustler doesn't want any one in district No. One who has not yet paid the school taxes for the cur rent year to forget that to-morrow is the'lasfc day. The C. S. Hulbert, sir months from New York, with plenty barna cles, has started to Pertland: the bar nacles are liable to be squeezed a lit tle on the way. The editor and proprietor of the Cowlitz Advocate, at Kalama, has bought the Northern Pacific railroad building. It has 26 .rooms, and cost 86,000 when Kalama was a rival to Astoria. , Any person wishing to join the grammar class at the Young Men's Christian association is invited to at tend the preliminary meeting this evening in the Y. M. C. A. office at 7:30 o'clock. No charge is made for birth," mar riage or death notices, and they are solicited as interesting news items: but they will not be inserted on hear say, and must be furnished by some responsible party. A late order issued by the British board of trade requires every vessel under the English flag to carry her boats, keel down. It is considered by that body that boats carried in the customary manner on skids, viz: with keel up, are not to be considered as ready for use. There is only one Billy Emerson in zninstelsy. He and his company are advertised to appear at Boss' house next "Monday. The simple announce ment will insure a packed house. The box-sheet for the sale of reserved seatB will be open at the New York Novelty store next Thursday at 10 A.M. Jn the police court yesterday two homos, each claiming the name of, John Dee (who was erroneously re-' ported dead some time ago), were as sessed $7 for violating the peace and dignity of the city. It is believed that at least one of the parties was mistaken in his name. It can't be that there are two such bad men as John Dee in the city. A rumor is current in Portland that Gen. Anderson, chief engineer of the Northern Pacific, has been re quested to hand in his resignation. No one seems to know the cause, but one gentleman attributes it to econo my, the Northern Pacific having practically finished the Cascade branoh with the exception of the tun nel, and there is, therefore, but little need for an engineer. Last Saturday a painful accident befell the nine-year-old daughter of L. B. Chase, residing at Knappa. While playing around a pile of lum ber one of the pieces loosened and fell, striking the little girl on the jaw, breaking it, and felling her to the earth. It then rolled on her and broke her right thigh. The little sufferer was brought to the hospitat where Dr. J. A. Fulton supplied the needed medical assistance. On the Columbia yesterday went 502 cases salmon, 3,737 bdls. shooks, 7,000 cases empty cans, 50 sacks oys ters, and 70 boxes cranberries, from Ilwaoo. Cranberry shipments from Astoria are something new. The salmon cans go to San Francisco, and 'from there to different coast canner ies. The shooks will be distributed the same way. Some of the cranber ries may eventually find their way baok hero retailed to the consumer. A well known, railroad man told a News reporter Saturday: "The pro posed joint lease of the O. B. & N. by the Northern and Union Pacific lines is off, and I doubt if it will cpme up for another year. Lately daily meet ings of the Northern Pacifio directors have been held in New York to reach some decision regarding the matter, and to arrange for a new loan of $13, 000,000. Private advices bring the information that the lease matter has been dropped." Two travelers; en! route to San Franoisco on the State, stopped into The Abtobian office yesterday morn ing to get some papers, write letters and get posted. "How many people live heref asked one. "Eight thou sand," was the answer. "Great Ca sar'sghosM" Baid he; "I asked two men on the street, one said 3,000 and the other 4,000, and now you say 8, 000. Say, ain't you raisine it?"' He was,gently assured that there was no raise about it It was simply a show down. At the Portland Mechanics' fair, T. J. Croueh exhibits a new discovery, which is one of great promise regard ing the possibilities of electricity. By immersing zinc in salt water, in connection with lead partially im mersed, positive and negative elec trical force can be generated by the action of the sad sea waves, and with an induction machine electric light may thus be manufactured. Thus by the rise and fall of the. tide Clat sop beach could, and sometime in the far off future probably will, be lighted by electricity generated by the rise and fall of the tide. PERSONAL MENTION.

A party of four married men took 8 sail over to Skipanon yesterday. They were all eastern men, and em phatically decided that the residences of D. K. Warren and C. A. McGuire, the bands of cattle and sheep, the crops of vegetables surpassed any thing they had seen on the coast. The patty returned with a boat load of apples that cost two-thirds les3 thau those brought into our town by the farmers of this peninsula. X. Regarding the Railroad. This is all The Astobiak knows about the railroad since last mention of it and till it learns something mere: Just before starting for New York and Boston on the 10th iust., Col. J. H. Woodard and Mr. Petti bone (who is managing the building of a railroad from Napa, Gal., north ward through to Lake county) had a consultation at Oakland, when it was decided that upon Woodard'a arrival in jxew iom ne wouia lay tne Astoria matter before the company's manager there, and see what steps could be taKen ior worn tnis winter, it is pos sible that either of these two gentle men will be here before long. The first, the foremost, the neces sary thing for us to do here is to com plete the subsidy. Till that is done nothing can be promised or decided. The subsidy first assured" and then Astoria will have done her part The next move then comes from the party of the second part. Private Lectures.

' That is the name of a little sled that will lie all unused this winter among the bric-a-brac in one home. It is a pretty, cheerful thing, tied with long, bright ribbons of a glad color, and covered with an array of little toys, and a boy's broken-bladed knife. The name of death is never spoken in connection with it. Some times a man stands looking at it, with a troubled face, as if wondering whether indeed this were not death, and that life, and why we have so strangely reversed the terms. And when it is night, and no one sees her, a woman kneels there and kisses all that the little hands have touched, and goes through a pantomime of deathless grief. But mostly they are cheerful as those who have ireasure in heaven, and Bay. gently, "he has gone away," or "he is asleep." "Blessed sleep, From which none ever wako to weep." Renews Ilcr Youth, Mrs. Phoebe Cheslcy, Peterson, Clay Co., Iowa, tells the following story, the truth of which is vouched for by the residents of the town : "I am 73 years old, nave been troubled witti Ktuuoy complaint and lameness for many years: could not dress myself without help.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver is miser'. 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 a 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: No happiness without health. But Green's August Flower brings health and happiness to the dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for a bottle. Seventy-five cents. Tn Setnoriaru.
