Flies are more than usually plenty in Astoria this summer, and the way they dart in one's face, and tumble into the milk and stick in the paste pot, and bite the head and tickle the nose and make a bridal chamber of one's ear is doosedly unpleasant doncherknow.

The day was perfect, the ride was fine, the grounds were spacious, tho band played merrily and every one had a good time, re turning at G30 p. si., somd minus their hats, but all in the best of spirits. At four o'clock last Tuesday morn ing the ocean steamships Thingvalla and Geiser. of the Thingvalla line, collided off Sable Island in tho North Atlantic. Tho Thingvalla struck the Geiser on the starboard side, amid ships, there being a dense fog at the time. The Geiser sunk in five min utes. .Seventy of the passengers and tnirty-nve or the crew were lost. Tne survivors reached New York last Thursday on the steamer Wieland. On the 4th inst., Frank Cook cashed a check for Andrew Johnson, who bad been hshmg tor the Ivnapp ton Packing Co. The check was for S103.10. Yesterday Constable Smith brought Johnson down from jCath- lamet, and arrested him here on a warrant charging him with larceny by bailee, the claim being that 8139.- Uj was inadvertnetly paid him, which ho denies. Tho matter comes un be fore Justice May at 2 o'clook this af- tcrnoon. Up at the Ouinanlt reservation during the recent eclipse of the moon, tne Indians assembled at tho agency, nnd as it progressed they became much alarmed lest some great mis fortune was going to happen the cuieis. un seeing tne phenomenon the principal chief commanded the warriors to shoot at and diive away the evil thing that was obscuring the moon. Tho order was immediately obeyed. The redskins continued to fire at the dark object until they ex hausted all their ammunition. As the moon began to get out of the eclipse they were much elated, at tributing it entirely to their efforts, and when the eclipse was finished they gave a loud shout of victory and dispersed. Postmaster Bell is at present run ning a third class office on a Becond cla3s basis. The receipts of the office for the quarter ending June 30th, were 82.393.24, putting the receipts for tho fiscal year nway ahead of the necessary requirements for advancing the office to the appointments which by right now belong to it. Post master Bell has forwarded his official statement to Washington, and it is to be hoped that in due time the Astoria postoffice will be given the additional allowance for clerk hire, eta, that its importance entitles it to. The money order business alone, sometimes runs as high as 82,000 a week, it being hard work to get the postofflco de partment to keep the office supplied with the necessary blanks to trans act the business. Tho good ship Standard finished yesterday loading for Liverpool, and will soon turn her prow toward the shores of the Mersey. She has on board 1,806 tons of wheat and 227 tons of salmon. For the salmon she gets 32 shillings and G pence a ton freight, which includes stevedore's charges at each end of the line. This is a very low freight rate and is a vast difference between present prices and those of some years ago when 90 shillings a ton for flour from As toria to Liverpool. Counting 32 cases of salmon to a ton, the freight on a case of salmon, from Astoriu to Liv erpool, including loading and un loading, is, on tho Standard, only a little over 25 cents, which is about as cheap as it is possible to procure it. An Explanation. What is this "nervous trouble" with which so many seem now to bo 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 the meaning of another word used by our forefathers in times past So it is with nervons 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 dispose of the bile through the ordinary channel is compelled to pass it off through the systom, causing nervous troubles, Malaria, Billious Fever, etc. You who are suffering can well appreciate a cure. We recommend Green's Au gnst Flower. Its cures are mar velons. German Singing Society. All Germans and others who have pledged themselves to join the Ger man singing society now beingorgan ized, are requested to meet at ten o'clock on Sunday morning, the 19th inst., in the hall over Utzingor & Grosbauer's saloon.

"Earth has no sorrow that lieav. n raunot heal," whether arising from physical, mental or moral sources. The promises and consolations of the gospel furnish abundant remedies lor all spir itual or mental woes, and the Creator has stored, in the kingdom of Nature, remedies for every physical ailment. For ages these remedies were allowed to lie dormant, through the ignorance of mankind as to their uses, and for ages more but little attention was given to remedies for the peculiar afflictions of woman, who was looked upon and treated as a stave uy lordly, and men brutal man, and her suffering regarded with beastly indifference. In later times, science and Christian philan thropy have come to her relief, devising remedies for her peculiar weaknesses, which have been combined in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, a remedy that cures the pains, aches, nausea, dis placements, wasting and debilitating afflictions to which she is constantly ex posed. "Favorite Prescription" Is the only medicine for women, sold by druggists, under a positive guarantee from the manufacturers, that it will give satisfaction in every case, or money will be refunded. This guaran tee lias been printed on the bottle wrapper, and faithfully carried out for many years. i She walked into tho dry goods store With stately step and proud, She turn'd the frills and laces o'er, And pushed aside the crowd, She asked to see some rich brocade, Mohairs and grenadines. She looked at silk of every shade And then at velveteens, She sampled jackets, bine and red, She tried on nine or ten, And then she toss'd her head and said She "guessed she'd call again." Merit Win. We desire to say to our citizens, that wo have been selling Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Dr. King's New Life Pills, Bucklen's Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters, and have never handled remedies that sell as well, or that have given such universal satisfac tion. We do not hesitate to guarantee them every time, and we stand ready to refund the purchase price, if. satisfac tory results do not follow their use. These remedies have won their great popularity purely on their merits. Jno. C. Dement Druggist. TelephoneliodKlnc House. Best Bed3 in town. Koomsper night CO and 25 cts., per week Sl-50.
