G. G. Gbeex, Dear sir: I am fre
quently troubled with severe colds,
and the only remedy that will relieve
me of them is your Boscliee's German
Syrup. I have used it for more than
12 years. It is a constant household
companion with me. Our merchant
here procured it first at my solicita
tion, and says he has sold a great
many bottles. It is a very popular
remedy in this section. Every per
son who has used it speaks in the
highest terms of its merits. I do not
know of a single case it ha3 not
cured. I first used it in Vermont,
where I lived before coming here. I
advise everyone to use it, as it is cer
tainly the best cough medicine I have
ever known. I have tried nearly all
of them at different times.
Yours respectfully,

KFMHIjgH OF MATOH TEULLKQEH.
To the Honorable City Ceuncil:
Gentlemen: Accordinc to past usaees.
in connection with the requirements of
the city charter, I present you my annual
message which, in brief, will present
to yon the present state of finances of
the city.
In the past year, we can safely say that
the citv of Astoria has been blessed by
not having been visited by fire, pesti
lence, storm, or depression in business.
In the first place fire has not visited us
because our common council has seen nt
to furnish our noble fire boys with amrle
facilities to combat the fiery elements,
which is the greatest enemy of a wooden
city.
Contanions disease has not done our
city mnch injury, on account of the
great efforts on the part of our city phy
sician not even allowing a case of black
measles, Rothein or German measles, to
stalk through our streets under the name
of smallpox.
We have had an energetic chief of po
lice, who has not only had supervision
over the police force, but to a considera
ble extent over the honorable cily council.
While the streets have not been kept
in much better condition than the back
yaVd of my messhouse, still, here, during
the holidays,! we were expecting some
distinguished guests, there has been a
faint effort made by the Chinamen, in
front of their doors, in the heart of the
city, to get some of the mud carted away;
this, with some herculean efforts on the
part of some of our white business peo
ple, have moved some of the old boxes
and piles of cordwood toward the back
end of their magnificent business places,
and some of the mud has been removed
from the front.
But. dear neoDle. remember the condi
tion of your streets and gutters. The
council is not wholly to blame, because,
you know, some of them want to retain
their places.
The mayor is wholly dependent upon
the treasurer and auditor for the reports
of the city finances, and firmly believes
tnem to be correct, on account ot tueir
ample capabilities and integrity, and I
will submit the follewing:

As this is my last message to your hon
orable body, I thank you for your kind
indulgence in mv many weaknesses and
non-attendance, and for general kind
ness extended to me.
I hoiie the citv council will in the fu
ture better provide for the comfort and
convenience ot the new mayor, lion. J.
H. Page, in the way of a few official let
terheads and stamped envelopes, in aid
of correspondence with other municipal
corporations, as well as individuals, on
official business.
It would perhaps be well for the city
council to take into consideration the
need of changing the city charter so that
the mayor could have a casting vote in
case of a tie in the city council, no that
tke wheels of government can roll on.
The above suggestions are, I know,
hardly proper for me to make at this
time, but I hope the new mayor and
council will excuse me for the inadver
tence, and now wish yon all a happy New
Year and a prosperous future, and again
thanking the council for their uniform
courtesy and kindness, I remain respeot
f ally yonrs, J. O. Tbulltnqeb.
On motion ot councilman Bergman
a unanimous vote ot thanks was ten
dered Hon. J. O. Trullinger for his
uniform dignity, courtesy and im
partiality during the two years ot his
official term.
The resignation of Dr. J, F. Page,
as health officer for the city, was read
and, on motion, accepted.
Theretiring.mayor then appointed
councilmen Fulton and Bergman to
introduce the newly elected mayor,
Hon. O. H. Pace, and councilmen
Carruthers and Cleveland to intro
duce councilman J. W. Welch, the
newly elected councilman from the
second ward. This being done.
amid applause, the newly elected
mayor proceeded to read his message,
as follews:
atATon paoe's addeess,
Gentlemen of the Common Council
of the City of Asteria:
As the incoming mayor and executive
of the citv of Astoria, and in nnrsmnnm
of Sec. 40 of thocharter, I have the hon
or to communicate to you a brief and
general statement of the condition of the
affaire of the municipality, together with
the reports of such officers of the city as
have had the courtesy to make a report
and hand the same to me.
This municipality was created by the
sovereign power of the state, with all its
officers, powers and machinery, to the
end that its citizens should better enjoy,
and be secured in those inalienable rights
of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness,
and for which all governments are insti
tuted, whether great or small, and for
the accomplishment of that end, gentle
men, and for no other purpose, have the
people elected you to your respective of
fices of trust and honor.
The financial standing of the city, if
all the claims incurred during thn vpr
iust closed were paid hv warrants, will
make a total indebtedness of about 32,
6'J3.3G, The total income of the munici-
pahtv for tie year was about S25.08G.GS.
and the total expense for the same time,
as reported, and claims unpaid amount
to about $31.92G.43. Defioiency existing
against the city for expenses over re
ceipts, for 18S7. of 6,839.75.
This to my mind is not a creditable
shewing and admonishes this council to
study caretully tne expenses of the van
nicipality in every department and earn
estly endeavor to reduce the same. This
result is after a tax of fifteen mills for
lSbo. and seven and one-half mills for the
year 1886. It is my opinion that the bus
iness of the city for the ensuing year
could be and should be carried on effect
ually and properly at an expense not to
men, is a matter in your sound discre
tion. FIBE DEPABTSIENT.
The fire department of the city and for
tne vear iust ciosea nas cost in the ni.
gregato about $8,000. This department
is a very necessary ana important branch
of the municipality, and is worthy of the
greatest solicitude and care, composed,
as it is, of the youth, intelligence and pa
triotic citizens of the municipality. It
should be fostered and liberally, but eco
nomically provided for. As to whether
the expense above named for the year is
greater than it should be, is a matter
also that should receive your careful at
tention and if any reductions in the ex
pense can be ma-ie, without injuring the
efficiency of the said department, it
should be done; and from my knowledge
of the gentlemen composing said depart
ment, I know they will acquiesce in and
assist you in any economical reforms
that you may endeavor to carry out
and enforce. The department, as I am
verbally informed by the engineer, is
well in hand. eauiDncd and efficient, and.
I think, satisfactory to the citizens of
tne city.
POLICE DEPARTMENT.
The police department is also a verv
important branch of the city govern
ment, and should receive your careful
consideration and study, with a view of
protecting the lives and property of the
citizens. The police force, for the last
few years, has been the subject of morti
fication, ridicule and derision by many
of the good people of this city. As to
whether or not it merits the contempt of
the citizens of this citv ftie majority of
you composing this body know better
than 1. ihe police force, m mv opinion.
should bo well disciplined and composed
of men peculiarly fitted for their respect
ive offices, and should be composed of
men of character and standing in the
community, and if said department is
desired to be effective, tho same should,
as to discipline, be left in the control of
those that the charter has made the spe
cial duty to supervise," -It is my opinion
and the opinion of many citizens of the
city, that the forco should be materially
reuueeu, anu 1 so recommend, as to
who shall servo in said department, or as
to the political faith or creed its mem
bers may entertain, or what nationality
they shall be, is a matter in your sound
discretion. In my opinion it h utterly
immaterial to the citizens of this city,
a3 to the qualifications, and I trnst your
management of said department will bo
without referenco thereto.
THE PEOPEETT OF THE CITT,
Itoal and personal, consists of tho lot
and city hall, now in nse by tho council,
also a nouso upon tne bloclc Known as
the Court House block in the citv. two
steam fire engines, a hook and ladder
track, and the necessary appliances to
make said machines effective and useful.
This i3 a very small showing for the
amount of receipts and taxes that have
been collected from the people, and for
the indebtedness that now exists, nearly
nil of which has accrued within the last
ten years.
In 187G the citv virtually owned the
Bame amount of property, with the ex
ception 01 tho ougme in use uy uiro
Company No. 1, and tho hook and ladder
truck above mentioned. At that date
the indebtedness of the city did not ex
ceed five thousand dollars, aiid i trust
during your administration, if there is
any necessity for large expenditures of
money or indebtedness to be incurred,
the real and personal property of tho
city will be materially larger and moro
extensive.
EECOiniENDATIOX.
I respectfully recommend that you give
your earnest attention and study to the
matter, commonly called the roadway, ex
tending to upper Astoria. This, as it
now stands, is in a shameful and dan
gerous condition and is a common nui
sance. Originally this roadway was
built at the expense of all tho tax payers
in the city, and there can be no ques
tion that a good safe thorougntare 10
upper Astoria is an absolute necessity.
The charter makes it the duty of the
council to maintain streets, and to see
that they are safe, adequate to the wants
of the community. This is a responsi-
lniitv timt tne law win not nilow vou 10
shirk or evade, and if any damage should
arise from necliQence and evasion Dy
this body, in tho performance of their
duty, :hey will be personally liable. The
caaner Kivrg 1110 council iub wwci, uuu
points out distinctly tho mode and man
ner or building and improving sireeis.
It is the duty of the council to exercise
that authority. If the citizens interested
in the matter along the line 01 tue pro
posed street refuse and defeat the con
struction of any street, the council, in
order to protect themselves, should abol
ish as a nuisance, the structure that
endangers the life and limb of those
who travel over what is ostensibly a thor
oughfare. (Continued on Second Page.)
Is Consumption Incurable?
Read the follewing: Mr. C. II. Morris,
Newark, Ark., says: "Was down with
Abscess of Lungs, and friends and phy
sicians pronounced me an Incurable
Consumptive. Began taking Dr. King's
New Discovery for Consumption, am
now on my third bottle, and able to
oversee the work on my farm. It is the
finest medicine ever made."
Jesse Middlewart, Decatur, Ohio,
says: "Had it not been for Dr. King's
New Discovery for Consumptien I
would have died of Lung Troubles. Was
given up by doctors. Am now in best
of health." Try it. Sample bottles free
