ASTOKIA. OREGON:
TUESDAY JANUARY 21. 1SSS
The model jnryman has been found
in Wisconsin. He never even heard
ot the Chicago anarchists.
Ovxn 10,000 bushels of Scotch pota
toes arrived at New York last week.
They pay a duty of fifteen cents a
bushel of GO lbs.
The United States consumes every
day 23,000 acres of timber. Each
night we retire irith 25,000 acres less
of forest than the cun gilded with its
Ik France a certificate ot birth must
be produced before a marriage can
take place. You have to prove that
yon've been born or you can't get
married, that's all there is about it.
The real estate bubble in Washing
ton has burst and left a good many
lame lambs. The real estate board
reports that there arc 3,000 houses in
the citv now vacant and to be rented.
The New York woman who killed a
pair of pet canaries to spite their
owner has been sent to the peniten
tiary for a month. Thero is some hope
that even human life will some day be
respected in New York.
About 50,000 persons have been
vaccinated under the auspices of the
San Francisco health department
since last May, and about 10,000 more
were vaccinated privately at physi
cians' offices and at their residences.
The Canadian minister of customs
savs that unless satisfactory arrange
ments arc made the dominion govern
ment intends, on July 1st, to collect
on fish imported from the United
States the same duty that is levied on
Canadian fish bv the United States.
At the last meeting of thoNew York
retail grocers' union it was stated that
certain parlies arc practicing the old
trick of making a small purchase of a
few cents and offering a ten-dollar
bilL They then hand back the small
bills and get a five-dollar bill, after
wards hand back the other five-dollar
bill and ask for the original ten-dollar
bill, and often get it; thus robbing the
grocer ot five dollars.
A coiiPANT has been formed in New
York by dry goods merchants to se
cure themselves from loss through
giving credit. It will be run on the
same basis as an insurance company.
When a merchant who ismcmbersells
a quantity of goods and his customer
fails to pay within a certain time, the
company has to bear the loss. The
capital stock is 100,000 and has been
pretty much all subscribed.
Is regard to people carrying checks
h their pockets for soma time before
depositing them in banks, Judge Bid
die, of Philadelphia, says: The rnh
is that where the parties all reside in
the same place the holder should pn
sent the check on the day it is r
ceived, or the following day, and when
payable at a different place from that
in which it is negotiated, the cheek
should bo forwarded by mail on the
same or next day for presentation. It
this is not done the risk of the solv
ency of the drawee Ls upon the payee.
LutGE sums have been sent back to
the United Kingdom to the relatives
and friends of emigrants who have
gained homes in the United States.
From 1818 to 18S5, both years inclu
sive, there was forwarded from Amer
ica through certain banks and mer
cantile houses 31,01S,5S7. Iu the six
years ending with 1SS5 the contribu
tions were greatly increased, ihc an
nual average being 1,15,031. A
great deal of money has reached Ire
land from America without going
through the hand of bankers. The
average annual amount remitted from
the Australian colonies since 1875 has
been only 57,800.
Mrs. Jexxie Walkek, of Ontario,
N. Y., has begun suit against Daniel
Elman, one of the most prominent
men in that place, for damages to the
amount of 32,000 for kissing her on
her left check last September. She
alleges that Elman came into her
house on business with her husband,
and when the husband went out of
the room for a moment he suddenly
leaned over aud kissed her, whereby
she was thrown into nervous prostra
tion, and because ot the shock at El
man's hasty act she was physically in
capacitated from household duties
for several weeks. Elman admits that
he kissed her, but he says ho has re
garded her as his child, and his action
was only ono of affection for her. He
will defend the suit until tue very
last
The report of the commissioner for
the last year shows that there has been
a decreaso of nearly five thousand In
dians. If thero could be an actual
count of the Indians the number would
prove to bo much less than the esti
mate usually accepted. An agent suc-
ceeded in counting the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe Indians recently, and found
that they number two thousand less
than the estimate made by lodges.
The Indians are superstitious about
being counted, and besides they make
more rations when a family of three
gets supplies for a family of five. An
attempt to force an actual census
would probably result in war, and as
the same result is boinsr uraduallv at
tained the authorities have never tried
to compel the taking of the consns.
There are the Sioux Indians, for ex
ample. They have been counted, audit
Ls probable if an actual count was
made, their latest numbers, -as now re
ported, would be reduced some two
thousand. The Indians, however, are
dying out rapidly, and as the tribes
grow fewer in number, the individuals
become wealthier, in the course ot a
few years the millionaires of the coun
try will be found among these Indian
tribes. They now control large tracts
of land, which is becoming more valu
able each year, and have besides trust
funds in the treasury amounting alto
gether to over S1,000,000. In addi
tion, the government, as shown by the
Holman report, appropriates large
sums for their support yearly and pro
vides schools for their children. The
Indians are being very well treated
just now.
REMARKS FROM A VETKIIAX.
Colonel Charle3 H. Taylor, of the
Boston Globe, a veteran in the jour
nalism of that city, at the annual din
ner of the Boston Press Club, in a
speech on "libel,'' introduced some
timely thoughts collateral to tins
subject. He said:
Journalists can do a great work in
the community to build it up or to
tear it down. Every jonng man and
every old man should realize that it
is his duty to build men up rather
than to tear them down. Very few
men connected with a newspaper re
alize the importance of every word,
line and paragraph that they write.
The mission of a newspaper should
bo to build up, to encourage members
of the community and make them
prosperous, and every word yon say
to help them forward and onward and
to improve their condition rather
than to tear them down, is a step taken
in the right direction.
A great many young men who have
never been in official life, and who
have never known how a paragraph
or a column in a newspaper -affects a
man, his family and his friends, write
in a haphazard and careless manner
things that will damage him for all
time. It makes no great deal of dif
ference whether at dinner we chaff
each other, or say in private life this
or that about a man. That makes no
difference to him. But in a newspa
per, in cold type, you may do that
man an incalculable damage; and I
do not think the average journalist
or the average reporter appreciates
the import.tncc attached to each line
that comes from his pen. Now
wo want, as newspapers, to build
up every man in the com cem
munity: to improvo his condition
and make him better and happier, in
stead of being vicious and ugly. Wo
want to be pleasant and sunshiny,
and a newspaper want? to make the
homo it goes into happier, and bright
er, and pleasanter because of its daily
visit. Every man connected with a
newspaper should realize that his
work ought to bo inspired by that
sort of a sentiment, and that, though
it may bo written at midnight, the ef
fect of it when read and known of
all men, ought to bo for the good and
well being of people or else it will do
harm. Every young man in journal
ism should appreciate that idea, and,
so far as ho has any influence, it
should be his aim to elevate and im
prove the condition of men lather
than to pull them down and injure
them.
While this is intended as advice to
steer clear of libel suits, Col. Tay
lor's advice is clearly inspired by a
loftier motive than the wish to es
cape the payment of smart money,
and ho has given us some excellent
counsel as to the work that the press
ought to do and the place it ought
to fill in the community. No paper
should bo admitted to a family nor
should one be encouraged in a com
munity, which sides always with its
worst as against its best elements.
These courses are all destructive.
They secure readers, but their circu
lation is simply the measure ot their
power fordemoralizationand destruc
tion. TIio Verdict Uimniisioiis.
W. 1). Suit, Druggist. Bippus, IncL,
lenities : "1 can recommend Electric
Hitters as the very best remedy. Every
bottle sold has given relief in every case.
One man took six bottles, and was cured
of Rheumatism of 10 year-.' standing."
Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellville,
Ohio, affirms: "The best selling medi
cine I have ever handled in my 20 years'
experience, is Electric Hitters." Thou
sands of others have added ilieir testi
mony, so that the verdict is unanimous
that Electric Bitters do cure diseases of
the Liver, Kidneys or Blood. Only a

The Smallpox In San Francisco,
There was a large decrease in the
number of smallpox cases reported at
the health office yesterday. One was
that ot a man, aged fifty years, living
on Montgomery avenue, near Kearnj
and the other that of a young man
on Stockton street, between Sutter
and Powell streets. These were the
only two cases reported on shore, but
Dr. McAllister reported a fresh case
of varioloid on the steamer Gaelic.
The patient, a Chinese, has had the
smallpox before, so that this second
attack is very light indeed. He was re
moved to the pesthouse. xne quaran
tine officer also reported the death of
nnnthpr flhinrsn from malicuant
smalinnx. The man seemed well
Tuesday, but suddenly fell illaud was
dead inside of six hoars. The skin
was perfectly DlacK, dui mere u-j
eruptions.
The Chinese on the Gaelic will, it
is understood, be transferred to the
old steamer Capital, which was
alongside the mail dock yesterday be
ing overhauled. The Chinese are
packed very closely on the Gaelic.
but if placed on the Capital can be
kept apart. Dr. McAllister is quite
willing that should be done, as it will
greatly facilitate him in his work.
The Gaelic will, of course, be thor
oughly fumigated and cleaned before
docking. &'. F. Alta, 19.
Death of a Noted Ball-Fighter.
City of Mexico, January 18th
Sunday, Saleri, a member ot the
Diego Prietos bull-fighting troupe,
was killled in Puebla. Saleri was
quite noted for the grace and ease
with which he gave what is
called the "salta garco" that is
a leap over the back of the
bull with the assistance of a pole.
Sunday Saleri had performed this
feat successfully with three bulls, but
the fourth time the pole slipped when
he was in the air above the bull, and
he fell on the horns of the infuriated
animal, which pierced his body. So
firmly were the horns fixed in Sal
eri's body that some minutes elapsed
before the other members of the
troupe could render any assistance
and take their companion off them,
which they finally did however, at
considerable risk to themselves.
Saleri was taken from the arena and
several surgeons summoned, when it
was found that one of the horns had
pierced the bowels and the other, the
chest of the unfortunate bull-fighter,
and that these wounds were necessa
rily fatal, Saleri lived only hrlf an
hour.
