There is or baa lately been a skunk
in town. Unmistakable signs of the
presence of one or more of these in
teresting little animals exist in close
proximity to the court house. The
air in that vicinity is laden with a
wonderful perfume that seems to
come from an inexhaustible source,
furnishing as it does such immense
quantities of undiminished strength.
Ex-Sheriff Jordan and Joe Taylor,
recently convicted in the United
States circuit court of obstructing a

When P. J. Meany, the popular
tailor, came back to bis shop next to
Gustav Hansen's, about eight o'clock
last Taesday evening, he missed a
bolt of cloth from his table in the
front room. He made inquiry of his
employes in the work room if any
one had been in since ho went out
after supper. They replied that they
had heard some one in the front
room, but supposed it was him. Mr.
Meany immediately notified a police
man and also coroner F. H. Surpre
nant, acting as a special officer of the
justice court in the absence of dep
uty sheriff Welch. In less than on
hour the coroner had run his man to
ground and bad recovered all the
stolen cloth. Surprenant found that
the cloth bad been disposed of in five
lots for about one-third its value, by
a young man named W'lliam John
son, lately down from Portland. Sur
prenant collared his man at Hanson's
corner, on First street, and marched
him before justice May. Johnson
said ho received the cloth from an
other party, who claimed he had
smuggled it. Justice May, deeming
the defense insufficient, held John
son under 8300 bonds to appear be
fore the grand jury Johnson is
about 17 years of age and has every
appearance of being fatrilinr with
crooked ways. At present ho is
getting free board in the county jail.
His stories of himself arc conflicting.
Several residents on Young's river
above where tho line of the Astoria
and Soath Coast railroad is surveyed
to cross the river, stated to tho writer
that they believed that the crossing
of Young's river at the point estab
lished by tho engineers would cause
residents on Young's river much in
convenience by interrupting trips
with their boats in the night time
and also by compelling them to keep
out in the channel to get through
the draw, instead of keeping in closer
to tho land where tho water is smooth,
as they do at present. They sug
gested that by crossing Young's
river higher up by a shorter bridge
and another short bridge across
Lewis and Clarke's river the trouble,
so far as thiy were concerned, would
be obviated. Mentioning the matter
to chief engiueer H. B. Tbeilson, elic
ited the following informatien: The
most direct route feasible is the oheap
est to operate. The most direct route
has been selected. Tho operation
and maintenance of two draw bridges
would entail an expense and care
donble that required by one, and the
expense would bo perpetual. The
spans of the approach to the draw
will be fourteen feet in the clear be
tween the posts, which will give am
ple room for small boats to pass
under tne spans by stepping tne mast,
Boats the sizo of those used by milk
men and farmers generally, would
thus be free to pass under the road
bed nt most any time, without neces
sitating the use of the draw, which
would be used for steamers and the
larger sailing vessels. It is believed
that the engineers have selected the
most practicable route for the road,
all things being considered, that can
be found.

TUE REVIVAL MEETINGS.
. Tho meetings condnoted by Messrs.
Stndd and Burke continue with ap
parent unabated interest. There was
a good attendance at the bible read
ing by Mr. Studd in the afternoon at
the Baptist church, and a feeling of
deep earnestness and devotion per
vaded the meeting.
In the evening at the opera house
Mr. Burko conducted a spirited song
service for half an Lour before Mr.
Studd's arrival. Kev. G. W. Grannis
having offered Draver. Mr. Studd read
a bible lesson from Isaiah chapter 53;
dwelling on the words, "He hath laid
upon him the iniquity of us alL"
Mr. Burke then rendered with
exquisite pathos one of his beau
tiful solos, "Seeking for me,"
after which Mr. Stndd addressed
the audience, his best being, "Be of
good comfort, rise, He calleth thee;"
being tho words addressed by
Christ's disciples to the blind beggar,
Bartimens. The speaker, alluding to
the beseeching importunity of the
blind man, said it arose from a deep
consciousness of his need, and that it
men were as "deeply conscious of
their need of salvation and of Christ's
willingness and power to bestow it,
as blind Bartimen3 was of His power
to restoro his night, they, like him,
would importune and continue to
importuuo until they had received
the blessing. At the close of the dis
course, which was diversified with
many happy illustrations from real
life aud listened to with marked at
tention, Mr. Barke offered prayer,
and aa after meeting was announced,
to which many remained.
There will be a meetintr acain at
230 to-day in tho Baptist church, and
anotner iu tne opera bouse in the
evening.
It would be a public benefit if some
other mode of warming the opera
house were adopted. To be near
that big stove is to be half roasted,
and to be anywhere among the seats
in the rear is to be half frozen.
How Men Die.
If we know all the methods of ap
proach adopted by nn enemy we are
tho better enabled to ward off the
danger and pospone the moment when
surrender becomes inevitable. In
many instances the inherent strength
of the body suffices to enable it to op
pose the tendenoy toward death.
Many however have lost these forces
to such an extent that there is little
or no help. In other cases a little
aid to the weakened Lungs will make
all the difference between sudden
death and many years of useful life.
Upon the first symptoms of a Cough,
uoia or any trouble or tue tnroat or
Lungs, give that old and wellknown
remedy Boschee's German Syrup, n
careful trial. It will prove what
thousands say of it to be, the "bene
factor of any home."
