More fish are being caught at Cos

correspondent of the Aberdeen Her

that a horse-race wager is an illegal

G. H. Sackett, residing on Main
street, was yesterday evening seized
with so strong a mental demontia
that it was nesessary to restrain him
by means of a straight jacket. The
rase is a peculiarly distressful one,
he being apparently insane.
The Aberdeen Herald learns from
a relinblo sonrco that regardless of
the fact that mora fish are being
caught than can possibly by used at
the canneries, some of tho traps nre
allowed to run and from a single trap,
up the Cuohalfo, over 2,(10(1 fish have
been wasted.

probably wonders what's tho matter

Among the recent applications for
patents is one for a "cigar-selling ma

clips the end off, and exposes a match
and a piece of sand paper whenever a
nickel is dropped into a slit in the
side of the machine. The patent of
fico has decided not to grant a patent
until the inventor nttaches a contriv

produce an automaton that will grab

Seattle comes to the front, says the

A young couple of that place who
have decided to wed at some indefi

the political question, and make the
following wager: If Cleveland is re
elected, tho wedding will be cele
brated on the 4th of March next, the
day the president takes his seat, but
if the Republican candidate is elected
they will not be married until March
4th, the year following. This seems
to bo one of those bets where you
win if you lose.
A bride and groom arrived at the
depot in Albina last Tuesday for the
purpose of taking the train to Ger
vais. The bride boarded the train,
while the groom stood, gripsack in
hand, watching the up train. The
down tram started toward the car
shops, and had proceeded several
rods, when the bride rushed to the
brakeman at tho rear and exclaimed:
"Oh, stop the train! That's my hus
band, and we have only been married
about twenty minutes!' The brake
man looked up the track and saw a
man rnnning toward it, took pity on
the bride, pulled the bell-rope and
stopped the train.
One of the finest ''pieces of work
ever seen in this port is an exact
model of the British ship Argo, on
board that vessel. It is a marvel of
ingenuity and is complete in every
detail. Hundreds have Been it, and
all pronounce it perfect. It is drawn
to a scale and is an excellent repro
duction in miniature of that vessel.
The galley, the lamp in the captain's

A Onnl From WahVinknm County.
Skamokawa, Oct. 23rd, 1888.
Editor Asteriax:
In looking over the columns of the
Pioneer I see that a large number of
the most prominent citizens of Ska
mokawa met at that place and nom
inated a ticket to be known as the
"People's Ticket" In order not to
deceive the voters of Wahkiakum
connty perhaps it may bo as well to
state in Tun Astobian that the large
number of prominent citizens con
sisted solely of Mr. S. F. Alberts,
who was defeated in the Republican
convention for sheriff, by a vote of
two to one, and was also rejected by
the Democratic convention. The
other very prominent citizen was Mr.
E. D. Brooks, who was badly defeated
for assessor before tho Democratic
convention. Both these very promi
nent citizens seem to have n divine
inspiration that the people must hove
them, hence the origin of this ticket.

DON'T BE FOOLED.
Keep Your Money For Home Circulation.
The Astobian reiterates its former
advice: keep your money at home
and don't be deluded by promises or
representations of those who want
your money for almost nothing. The
post offico is daily filled with circu
lars from eastern firms offering every
thing in the way of jewelry, clothing,
etc at what seems to be cheap prices.
We have talked about this so much
that it is probably tiresome to some
of oar readers. Thousands of dollars
are sent away every week for goods
that are either not needed, or are
bought because people living here
think they can get them cheaper than
from Astoria stores, and thenr when
they are swindled, Lord! how they
kick!!
Astoria business men pay taxes,
rents, help to keep things going and
sell at a very Tow per cent of profit;
it what they sell isn't satisfactory
they are here to make it right, and if
one doesn't suit, his competitor in
business will try to do better.
When yon buy from a far away es
tablishment you send good money
away, take your chances on getting
anything like what you order, pay
very high express or freight charges,
and if you are fooled it serves yon
about right.
And three-thirds of tho time the
goods can be had just as cheap from
our own people who are trying to
build up a business at home.
Here is a case in peint: Last week
a lady was showing at the house of a
friend, an article of ladies' apparel,
"And just think' said she, "I only
paid S4 for it. I bonght it in Chica
go, you know."
The lady of the house looked at it
very attentively, went to her ward
robe, and brought out an exact fac
simile of the garment; one like it in
every respect, cut, texture and style.
"I bought this," said she, "at Coop
er's. Mr. Eyrie charged me 83.50 for
it."
Further inquiry showed that the
purchaser of the wonderful Chicago
cheap bargain had paid 72 cents post-J
age. uounting ner time, writing let
ter, postage on same, etc, at 28 cents
more, here was $5 she spent in Chi
cagofor what she could have .had
for S3.50 at home.
The money was sent away; was.lost
to this community just the same as if
she had flung it in the river, and
every time she wears that garment it
makes her mad it would make any
woman mad to think tljat she fooled
her good money away without having
a chance to examine what she was
buying.
And those New York and Chicago
and San Francisco folks don't trust:
they don't give credit; bless yoo; ne:
when you want credit you can go to
tho Astoria merchants and stand
them off; if you buy from abroad
send the money order or the postal
note, or the draft with the order and
don't you forget it; if yon do forget
it, no goods, unless, maybe, as a spe
cial favor, they come 0. O. D., and
you pay for sending the ooin back by
express.
There is no form of drain so inju
rious to our local prosperity as this
habit of biting at every little bait and
sending money away that wonld bet
ter be kept at home.
Having written thus far on this
popular mistake, the article was
closed, when a subscriber from a
postoffico about fifteen miles from
here who was in to renew his sub
scription, said: "I wish you'd put in
a few lines warning people against a
couple of slick Jellows who are now
on Young's river. They've been at
Chadwell, on Clatsop plainsat Skip
anon and elsewhere, selling goods
and got into several of us. They
have sold one of my neighbors and I
S150 worth. That is, we paid them
$150, and they told us we'd have to
pay $300 for the same good) in As
toria, bnt, when we got what they
sent, we reckoned that $90 would be
a big price to pay for them any
where." Here is the same thiug in another
shape. A con pie of irresponsible,
here-to-day-and-gone-to-morro w-f el
lows going through the country gul
ling any one foolish enough to buy
from them.
It is the same thing, m whatever
shape it comes, wb"iner in a circular
from an eastern clothing or fancy
goods house, or a plausible, smooth
talking agent who goes around get
ting orders for the goods to be sent.
Every dollar so sent away is lost;
its value is not received, and thoso
who do so sond their money awny are
doing all they can to keep the com
munity poor and drained of ready
money. A city or county that adopts
such a course will be poor so long as
so silly a practice is kept np.
We sendway for a great deal that
it seems must be sent for. Butter,
eggs, fish, meat, canned goods, nearly
everything we eat or wear is bought
from the east or California, to the
constant surprise of all who stop to
give it a moment's thonght, bnt the
crowning mistake of all appears to
the writer the mania, for it is nothing
else, of sending money away for gew
gaws and gimcraoks and things that
are not really wanted, bnt are bought
only becanse they seem to be cheap,
when, as a matter of fact, the same
stuff can be bought Irom onr local
merchants for the same money.
There's one thing that doesn't
seem to be generally understood; it
is this: a thing that yon don't need is
not cheap at any price; if yon need a
mowing machine or a mousetrap, you
should eet the best recardless ot
what it costs; if you have use for a
gold watch or a sue umbrella, you
ought to get one But the man in
Chicago who offers you a gold watch
for 11.50 or a silk umbrella for $1.39
is simply betting that his customers
are easily duped with the odds in
bis favor.
Somo one says that the chief differ
ence between a man and a woman is
that a man will give 25 cents for a
15-cent article that he does want,
and a woman will give 15 cents for a
25-cent article that she doesn't want.
There's something in it, though the
men are usually just as eager as the
women to buy something they have
no earthly use for just because- it's
"cheap."
Some Betting Proposition.
'ibis morning a New Yorker named
Thomas P. Sheridan got into a politi
cal discussion with several Democrats
in one of the prominent hotels. The
talk became louder and more excited
as time passed on till abont fifteen
prominent followers of Cleveland
were combating Mr. Sheridan, who
has an abiding faith in the success of
the Republican colors.
Suddenly Mr. Sheridan quietly
arose from his chair and in a quiet
manner, drew a pocket book from in
side of his coat, saying: "Gentle
men, talk is cheap. I have $15,000
in this book, all ot which I'll bet that
Indiana and all the Pacific states will
go for Harrison and Morton. Then
ril bet $10,000 to 88,000 that we'll
carry New York by 25,000 majority.
The crowd did not bite, and Mr.
Sheridan returned his pocket book.

A Warning.
The modes-of death's approach are
various, and statistics show conclu
sively that more persons die from dis
eases of the Throat and Lungs than
any other. It is probable that every
one, without exception, receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into the
system and where theso germs fall
upon suitable soil they start into life
and develop, at first slowly and is
shown by a slight tickling sensation
in the throat and it allowed to con
tinue their ravages they extend to tho
kings producing Consumption and to
the head, causing Catarrh. Now all
this is (longerons and if allowed to
proceed will in time cause death. At
the onset yon must act with prompt
ness; allowing a cold to go without
yonr attention is dangerous and may
lose yon yonr life. As soon a3 yon
feel that something is wrong with
your Throat, Lnngs or Nostrils, ob
tain n bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. It will givo yon immediate
relief. A
