The Finnish Brotherhood will have an excursion to Ilwaco on the T. J. Potter to-day, leaving at 9 a. m. There will be a ball at Liberty Hall in tho evening. Yaquina bay is so lonely that when a Columbia river fishing boat puts in there the fact is telegraphed abroad, and the newspaper has a column article about it "Crossing the Red Sea" at 11 a. m., and "Bible Tempranco" relative to the use of intoxicating drinks as a beverage, at 730 r. si. at tho Metho dist church to-day.

The Oregonian reports catfish in the Willamette. It is to be hoped that they will get no farther down.

McMahon's circus next Friday nnd Saturday will supw ur AiaerDroon, and thus save $300 license fees that the city would charge tnem 11 tuey showed inside tho city limits.

An exchange says: The best recipe we can give for warm weather is as follews: Bathe frequently, eat light, vegetable diet, sleep during the cool hours of night, discard pork and all fatty meate, attend church and prayer meeting, and pay the printers what yon owe en subscriptions or adver tising. By these means good health will be assured, eternal salvation in the next world, and a good obituary notice in this. We Astorians don't know what real genuine trouble about postoffice mat- ters is. Over at Seattle five days' mail is piled up, there is only one delivery clerk, people have to stand and wait all day and then go away unsorved. Up to tho 1st the citizens paid three clerks, but when they quit subscribing to the fund that paid them, tho government discharged them. But the surplus in the na tional treasury is piling right up just the same. The following derivations of the names of presidential candidates are given in American Notes and Quer ies: The name of Cleveland is a corruption of Cliffland, so called from its situation in a steep, rock locallity.

By the way, the visitors next Saturday will prob ably bring a fine banner with them for the banner lodge. Grand Master E..L. Smith, of Hood river, will ac company the excursionists- S. Eisfelder, manager of a weekly paper called the Enterprise, entered the private office- of ex-senator James G. Fair in the Nevada bank building in San Francisco last Friday after noon, and told the senator he had prepared an article reflecting greatly upon the senator's private character, and which he said he proposed to publish in his paper unless given $5, 000 for its suppression. The senator did not stop to consider the proposi tion, bnt struck tho blackmailer a powerful blow and knocked him down in a corner. Eisfelder made an at tempt to draw a revolver but the senator resumed the attack and the man made a hasty exit, passing through a room in which there were a number of clerks, who also forcibly assisted him to the street.

Prof. Elisha Gray has obtained letters patont for an instrument called the Telauto graph, designed for transmitting messages by wire by sender in his own handwriting, doing away with skilled operators. This invention is based on the discovery of a new prin ciple in controlling electric current, whereby apulsatory current is pro duced. All previous attempts to transmit handwring have been based on the use of a variable current. A FALSE ALARM. Washington, Aug. 4. The follow ing telegram was received at the war department this morning from Gen. Howard in reference to the firing at the sub agency near San Carlos, Ari Ari eona: "San Francisco, Aug. 4 The fol lowing has just been received from Gen.

He spent almost his whole life in the management of circuses. He has been succeeded by his sons for a few years past who have amassed large fortunes. . A Touching Obituary. It is strange how eager people will run after something, no matter how utterly destitute of a scintilla of merit. They will buy foreign pork and lard in preference to the home made article, no matter how worthless the foreign. We have an illustration at hand that fits the question. Only about a year ago a consumptive sheet was started in this city. It was a worthless disreputable sheet from the start, but it gained quite a foothold for a time. Its conceited editor ro sorted to every device to keep it afloat, but it only survived long enough 'to become a stench to its friends. It feasted on the carrion of spite and vituperation, and even got down to blackmail. It was a disgrace to journalism. Its columns were pros tituted by malignant abuse. It never spoke for the interests of the east side. Letters signed by its editor were sent broadcast begging support lor the sinking concern. But its grave is so low that not a bubble will ever come to tho surface to mark the place of its descent Yale, garbage. East Portland Vindicator. The "Kicker's Vigorous Policy. We extract the following from the last issue of the Arizona Kicker: "Our Policy, Heretofore as our readers know, the Kicker has almost entirely abstained from publicly criti? cisiug the evils which all know to ex ist under our noses. Wo have be come tired and disgusted with our selves for this lack of spunk, and next week we will open a red-hot campaign on "The mayor, "The common council, "The fire department, "All secret societies, "The saloons, "The gambling dens, "And on various other organizations and institutions reeking with corrup tion. "It will bo a spicy issue. It will make more than a ton of human hair stand on end. It will make a thous and hoarts thump like piledrivors. Chicanery, deceit, hypoorisy, theft, robbery, arson and murder will be properly tagged off and tags pinned to the right coattails. "Order your extra copies at an early date. Advertisers should send in their copy by Saturday. Don't neglect this golden opportunity. Another may never come. Don't Experiment. You cannot afford to waste time in experimenting when your lungs are in danger. Consumption always seemi, at first, only a cold. Do not permit any dealer to Impose upon yon with some cheap imitation of Dr. King's New Dis covery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, but be sure you get the genuine.

BIZ. New Tore, Aug. 4. For tho week ending to-day, the bank reserve shows a decrease of. S3S5.810. The banks now hold 826,950,375 in excess of the 25 per cent rule. An Explanation. What is this "nervous trouble" with which so many seem now to, be af flicted? If you will remember a few years ago the word Malaria was com paratively unknown, to-day it is as common as any word in the English language, yet, this word covers only tho meaning of another word used by our roreiatners in times past. So it is with nervous diseases, as they and Malaria are intended to cover what our grandfathers called Billiousness, and all are caused by troubles that arise from a diseased condition of the Liver which in performing its func tions finding it cannot disposo of the bile through' the-ordinary channel is compelled to passat off through the system, causing nervous troubles, Malaria, Billions Fever, etc. You who are suffering can well appreciate a cure. We recommend Green's Au gust Flower. It3 cures nro mar velous. f. . . - Congressman Honk Tells A Story. Leonidas Caesar Honk, who repre sents -the Republican district lying "in the Tennessee mountains," holds his grip on its hardy mountaineers by his story-telling stump-speeches. He is a great rabble-rouser, but beyond that his strong point is his clever way of telling clever stories. The other night he told one of his best at the ratification meeting held by the Republican national league of Wash ington, to point his declaration that it they wanted to win thoy must work promptly and efficiently. "There was an old darky." be said. "whoBo master had some fine fat turkeys. Old Unole Jake made up his mind that he must have one of those tur keys; and, as he told tho story, he set to work to get it by prayer. M prayed to the Lord,' he said, 'that he would send me one of those turkeys. I prayed that way morning and even ing for a week, but still that turkey didn't come, and I tell you my mouth was just a watering for it. So I says to myself I must change that prayer. And so I prayed one evening that the Lord would send me after that tur keyand, brethren, thnt job was done before daylight' "Philadelphia Record. The Boston Boy At School. One boy was asked to define a com mon and proper noun. He wrete: "William is a proper noun and Billy is a common noun." Another was told to write what he had learned in physiology. He did, thus: "The body is composed of three parts tho head the trunk and the abdomen. The head contains the brains, if you have any. The trnnk contains the heart and lungs. The abdomen contains the vowel a a. e, i, o and u, and sometimes w and v.'' What in the world that last bright boy was thinking of his teacher may have been able to puzzle out, but pro bably no one else can. The answer however, was actual. Roiton Trans cript.

My brother also was very low with Malarial Fever and Jaundice, but was cured by timely use of this medi cine. Am satisfied Electric Bitters saved his life." Mr. D. 1. Wilcoxson, of Horse Cave, Ky., adds a like testimony, saying: He postively .believes he would have died had it not been for Electric Bitters.
