The Annie Johmon, which left Bristol Bay the same day the Polar Jiear did, has arrived at Man .Fran cisco with 33,000 case3 salmon. J. G. Boss, of tho Astor house, has the largest and finest potato seen here this season; n homo product and one that would bo hard to beat. A force of men is busy on the new gas works, and tho calculation is to have the establishment ready for bus iness by the first of next month. Tho Telephone yesterday brought down four large iron girders for the new brick block that is growing out of the water on Squemoqua street.

The fire department was called out at three o'clock yesterday afternoon to put out a brush fire, that threat ened tho residence of O. P. Henry, aud other houses in that vicinity. A urivate dispatch from an Astorian in Portland yesterday to Tnu Asto kian, says: ''The regular west-bound train was delayed to-day by an acci dent, the bridges burning near Hood river.'' A couple of fakirs, each wearing a Turkish fez, are trying to work off n lot of truck on unsuspecting citi zens. When refused they grow in sulting to ladies. Give them the grand bonuce. TnE Astorian this morning gives a partial list of vessels on the way. It is thought that this state will this year have a surplus of 300,000 tons of wheat, equal to 10,000,000 bushels, requiring BJU.UUU tons tonnage. Rev. John Jacobson, pastor of the upper Astoria Scandinavian M. iu. church, is going to California to en deavor to raise funds for tho supply ing of a free reading room in tho basement of the church with books. The Sovereign Grand Lodge of the IOOF. will convene at Los An geles, Cal., next Tuesday, and the Oregon Odd Fellows are making a lively effort to have tho visiting east ern delegates return by way of Port land.

There is ne autumn here, nor winter; there are three months of what tho folks back in freezeland would call "late in the spring." The other nine are spring and summer. The New York Sunday News says: "The World Against Her, at the Peo- pie's theater, has scored a great suc cess. Since the first night of its pro duction the theater has been crowd ed. Tho drama can only be continued during this week." Reserved seats at the New York Novelty store. Attention is directed to the adver tisement of Henry C. Doyle & Co. They are old stand-bys,4 and make a good article of twine that has long been a favorite on the river. Barbour's Irish flax thread is too well known to need further endorsement than that of those who have so long used it. Black booby birds by the thousand are reported covering the month of the river, and vessels passing through kill them by the hundred. They have been gorgin&r on fish and cannot fly. They extend all the way out, and off North Beach can be seen for a mile. The visitation is an unusual one. Sailors at Port Townsend demand ed S50 for the trip to San Francisco. The schooner William Benton en gaged a crew at $25 per month for the round trip to Australia, and the union threatens bloodshed unless the salary is increased 35. The reve nue cutter was guarding the Renton at last accounts. The interior department having ruled that the state is entitled to lands in lieu of sections 15 and 36 embraced within Indian reservations, the state becomes entitled to about seven thousand acres in lieu of the school sections surveyed in the Siletz and Grand Ronde reservations, which lands can be selected anywhere in the Oregon City land district. The Weekly Astokiak, a 48-col-umn paper, set in type at 50 cents a thousand, paid in Astoria, and print ed on a press in Astoria, full of home news, is published this morning. There are two tons of paper on the way to be used in the same manner on successive Saturday mornings. Two dollars sends a copy anywhere in the union one year; postage paid. The chief of police sales that have been appearing for the last month, no longer grace the columns of the Daily, Ben Worsloy having worked tho bale yesterday at the court house. The two columns thus previously occupied are filled with new advertisements re ceived yesterday from fishing twine manufacturers. This paper is found in evory cannery from the Sacramento river to Behring sea. The old "Tiger" fire engine goes to Aberdeen, on Gray's harbor, for the fire defense of that town. It hath a history. It was built in Boston in 1857, and saw twelve yoars' active service in San Francisco. Then it was taken to Salem and used by Ti gers till 1883, and then turned over to Salem Engine Co., and used by them till 188G, and now after 30 years of use the old veteran in fire fight goes to Gray's harbor. Our Olney correspondent writes that on last Tuesday, the 11th inst, there was a destructive fire in a tool honse, about twenty feet from Alex. Normand's new residence, about 100 worth of farmers' and carpenters' tools, together with the tool honse, being destroyed. Airs. Elliott, and Mrs. Sorensen aided Mr. Normand and lm wife in saving the residence, which escaped with n slight scorching on tho roof. Yesterday's Portland NeiDft devotes ten columns to a report on the recent death of Mary Schneller in Mrs. Dr. Murray's office, and the result of in terviews with a large number of phy sicians whoso statements as .pub lished indicate that an abortion was committed on the unfortunate girl jnst previous to her death. News makes out a strong case, one that attracts public notice demands further investigation. The and and Some big election bets are being made, most of them this way: "'I'll bet you a thousand dollars that so and so will be tho next president" After u little argument, "Well I've got a hundred dollars that says he'll be elected." Two minutes later: "I'll tell you what Til do with you, I'll bet yon the best hat you can buy m As toria that he's the next president" After another brief interval: "Let's havo something." No bet, but most as much fun as if they'd put up a million. A sailor, who refused to give his name, went down to the O. It & N. dock yesterday afternoon and tried to go on board the outgoing Colum bia, claiming that Jim Turk was try ing to shanghai him. His story was deemed too thin and he was refused passage. Then he drew off his trou sers, flung those useful articles in the bay and started to walk down the street in a brief and airy costume of a shirt and a plug of tobacco. Of ficer Kirby gathered him in and put him m the cooler. Dr. Gibbons, a celebrated Califor nia botanist, who is now examining into the flora of Clatsop county, says he finds a marked similarity in the vegetable growth of the two states as regards plants. So far he has found three new species of ferns. The ferns that crow so luxuriantly on the hills are sort of puny descendants of the cricrantic ferns of teons ago, where they grew to be a foot in diameter and forty feet high, and made the de posits of coal that underlie the pres ent surface of the earth. Before a commission in lunacy yes terday appeared Judson Cole, a well known character, charged with in sanity. He was duly pronounced in sane and was taken to Salem last evening in charge of his father. His insanity is at a very mild type, be lipinir inoffensive and harmless, but. under the circumstances, probably it is just as well to have him removed. His associates, of the same mental caliber, who loved to converse with him nmn ilia street will be at a loss for his companionship. It is further asserted that his absence from the streets will be conducive to satisfac tory lacnstrinian increase. It is amusing to read in a Portland contemporary of how hurried and overworked and generally used up Geo. W. Cable is because he actually has to write three-quarters of a col umn every week for an eastern week ly paper. Poor fellow! Just think of it! Three-quarters of n column! And every week too! Why Cabey, old boy, you've got a pudding, if you only knew it. There's lots of folks that furnish three columns (each four quarters long) six times a week to their respective journals, and rustle for ads and sieh, on the outside, and don't feel particularly "overworked." But then, perhaps it is quality as against quantity. George & Barker's fruit canning ex periment is at an end for this season. They packed 1,300 cases plums and 400 cases pears. It is spoken of as an experiment, for that is really all it is. If it turns out satisfactory they will probably go into the matter on a large scale next year. The ad vantage this vicinity possesses is that such firms as George & Barker, at the close of the salmon season have all the material and appliances; the disadvantage is that the fruit must be brought from a distance, comparatively. The natural solution of the latter is raise fruit here. It can be grown of as fine quality and in as great profusion as in any other part of the state or coast. This will solve the problem. i A little after 1 o'clock.this morn ing a man whose name could not be learned, and who was under the in fluence of sundry libations, and with an evident disregard of the generally admitted fact that "one who is born to be hanged cannot drown himself," jumped overboard just north of the New York Novelty store. But fate was against him, the tide was low and the cobble stones on the beach didn't drown him worth a cent; so he started for deep water, closely fol lowedjby officer Olsen, who found ho would have to swim for his man unless he got a boat, which he did, and after a desperate struggle got the would-be suicide aboard and landed him in safe quarters in the city jail. The man arrived here yesterday from San Francisco, having lately come from Alaska, it is said. Last Thursday state senator J. H. D. Gray, telegraphed to United States senator Dolph, requesting that he use his influence to have the U. S. fishing commissioner's steamer Al batross, now at the sound from her northern expedition, detailed to lo cate the banks of cod nnd halibut in this vicinity. Last evening ho got the following telegram from senator Delph: ''Washington, D. 0., Sept. 14. Hon. .7. H. D. Gray: I have pre sented yonr telegram to tho assistant United States commissioner. He has telegraphed to the commissioner, who is at Woodshall, Massachusetts. J. N. Dolph.'' This action is timely and called for. That there are valuable banks of food fishes at our gate is a 'known fact; tho definite location is not so clear, and the Albatross; il do tailed for that work, can grcaly aid in this important matter. On the Oregon yesterday arrived a youth to fortune and to fame unknown fair beauty smiled not on his humble birth and Melancholy marked him for her own; he came from Frisco on a ''pleasuro trip," but became dread fully disorganized on the way. The effect of tho motion of the vessel on him was similar to that produced on Sut Luvingood when his best girl pei- suaded him to take a seidlitz powder. and mixing the contents of the blue paper in one glass, nnd the contents of the white paper in another glass, told him the proper way was to drink the contents of one and in about live minutes swallow the contents of the other. Sut followed directions and sat down in happy contentment, but soon became conscious that tliore was a most extraordinary commotion going on inside of him. A yearning for the solitude of his own home, where he could sit down and think, seized him, and he lit out, depositing as he went, on the parlor floor, ver anda, and pathway down to the front gate, a stream of foam, which he af terward declared was a yard wide aud a foot deep. Tho Pacific Christian Advocate, published in Portland, does something this week that is very unusual for a newspaper to do it prints an exact statement of its business for the past year; how much money it re ceived, and who from and what for; how many dollars it paid out, nnd to whom and for what purpose. It is all there, and is sort o' interesting to a newspaper man. From the state ments, which are evidently exact, it appears that everybody in that news paper office worked like sixty for the past year and the profits were S14.G0. Lots of newspaper men work like all get out for a year, and if they pay their bills for the material, and pay the people that trust them, don't have even S14.G0 left This is the first time the writer ever saw a statement of a year's business of a newspaper pub lished. The receipts were S6.969.3C; the expenditures, $6,951.76. The items show that the business was run hon estly. This does not appear in the dollars and cents column, but it is the biggest item in the lot, all the same, and makes up for the meaner balance on the profit side. "What doth it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul:" "The Slerry Maiden and the Tar." She was merriest before she "struck'' the tar. Her spirits sank as she beheld her new white gown blackened by the tar. This tar helped a wagon run in stead of helping run a ship. Just so a thousand trivial accidents and npplwted "small things" take the merriment out oi tne lives oi young girls ana malaens. Particularly is this the case with dis eases peculiar to their sex which take so much enjoyment and happiness from life.

For throe years I was almost cripplod with an awful sore leg frym my knee down to my ankle, tho skin was entirely gone, and the flesh was one mass of disease. Some physi cians pronounced it incurable. It bad dimin ished about one-third tho size of the other, and I was in a hopeless condition. After try ing all kinds of remedies ard spending hun dreds of dollars, frem which I got no relief whatever, I was persuaded to try your Cuti ccea Remedies, nnd tho result was as follews: After three days I noticed a docided change for the better, and at tho end of two months I was completely cured. My flesh was purified and the bono (which had been exposed for over a yoar) got sound.
