The S. G. Reed, brought down a

apiece. Tbey came all the way from
Pittsburg rather a long way to hanl
rock to Astoria and pay 850 a ton
freight on it when rock just as good
conld be had close by. The mistake
was probably that while iron sinkers
were ordered by the officers here, the
stone article was sent.

Everybody knows the handsome
and gallant Dan O'Neil, now purser
on the tieea, and everyone has noted
the ever present button hole bonquet
that he wears. On a reoent visit to
ban Francisco, as he was about to da
part he stopced at the Lotta Foun
tain and told an Italian flower vender
to put him up some roses and violets
and green stuff. The man did so, but
on Dan banding him a dollar, the
Italian said, "No, no. I see you on the
Columbia. I know all the time yon
lika the flower. 1 lika a man that
lika the flower." and not a cent
would he take. Ho had recognized
him whilo salmon fishing as the man
that "iiKa tno nower."
The Ashland Record is informed
that the deer skinners np on Rogue
river have slaughtered 3.&UU head of
deer during the cast season for their
hides only. They follow the deer
around all seasons in the mountain
fastnesses in that region and make
it almost impossible for anybody
but experienced woodsmen to kill
game on their route to the beautiful
scenery of that -section and Crater
lake. Theso deer skinners are a
crowd of worthless rascals and out
throats, and the people around there
who can bear witness are intimidatad
by the fear that these fiends will seek
revenge by killing their stock or de
stroying other property, so they are
continuing year by year their crimi
nal business without molestation.

How Men Die.
It we know all the methods of ap
proach adopted by an enemy we are
the better enabled to ward off the
danger and pospone the moment when
nrrender becomes inevitable. In
nany instances the inherent strength
f the body suffices to enable it to op
pose the tendency toward death.
Uany however have lost these forces
to such an extent that then? is little
or no help. In other cases a little
nd to tho weakened Jjungs will make
all the difference between sudden
leath and many years of useful life.
Upon the fhbt symptoms of a Cough,
Oold or any trouble of the Throat or
bungs, give that old and wellknown
remedy Bnschee's Ge-man Srun. a
careful trial. It will prove what
thousands say or it to be, the "bene
I'actor of any home."
Card of Thinks.
I take this means of extending my
thanks to the ladies, friends and
brother firemen for their kindness
during the siokness and last sad
rites of my beloved wife.
I shall always cherish a grateful
remembrance of the same.

S3. HOODI'S MEETI5G.
X Christian Revival last ETealng.
The opera house was comfortably
filled last evening to hear Mr. Moody
in one of his Christian revival ad
dresses. After prayer and a ohoral service
finely rendered by several ladies and
gentlemen of the city, Mr. Moody an
nonnced a hvmn, "God be with you
till wo meet again," the entire audi-
enoe rising and loimug in the mel
ody.
Mr. Moody, a portly, clear spoken
man about nfty years or age, an
nounced that there would be 'three
meetings to-day. one at 10 a. m., one at
JiJOandoue at 8 p. it. Rev. A. Leltay
announced that there would be btcuI
lection taken up to defray ball. Jeut
and incidental expenses, which was
done, and another hymn, ''Jesus', my
Savior" sung. Mr. Moody then ut
tered a fervent prayer after which
Mr. Burke sang a solo, "Thoiigh
your sins be as scarlet, they shall.. be
made white as snow." Mr. Moody
then cited Paul's epistle to the' Gala
tians, "Be not deceived: God.ia not
mocked. Whatever a man aowetb,
that shall he also reap." The speak
er said he wanted to get that into the
minds of Astorians. It any one pres-;
ent didn't believe the Bible, all right,
let it ge: say it isn't true, what are
you going to do with this truth. It's
a fact, whether you believe it or not.
If any one got mad and went out, all
right; it that truth hits any one so
hard that be got mad about it, he'd
do well to go out, but the text was
true; it couldn't be denied.
We've all been deoeived some time';
if nothing else our own hearts have
often deceived us, but the God of the
Bible deceives no one, nor can He be
deceived. But the latter part of the
text be would call attention to. We
all reap what wo sow. the same kind
and more of it. A man reaps his
croo himself; wrong always comes
back on the wrong doer. The man
who steals your pocket book loses
more than you do. All you lose is
your pocket book, but he loses bis
peace of mind and his hopes of
heaven. So with all who in greed
for gain tempt their brother man.
Thb curse comes back to all such.
In God's kingdom the same crop
comes from the same seed as in the
natural kingdom. The question was
not how good men can get to heaven,
but now bad men could get there.
That's what the moBt of ub is in
terested in. The story of Jacob and
of David was told in proof that they
reaped what they sowed. And they
reaped misery n hundred times more
than they sowed. So with all wrong.
When we reap the wrong comes a
crop a hundred times as much.
Me argued that retribution is in
evitable, and that thero is no escape
from the compensation of orime, nnd
because of that men should be care
ful of tho seed that is sowj. Conse
quences are something that no one
can dodge.
Plain, hard, common senso prose.
unwelcome truths, bluntly expressed,
was tho thread of his speech, on
which he strung argument, advice,
example, warning, anecdote, pathos
and sympathy, moving many of his
audience to tears, forming a most ef
fective address.
In a straightfoward way. calling
things by their right names, ho held
his -audience with marked attention,
as in an-easy, conversational minner
be illustrated bis text by examples
from his rich aud varied experience.
and urged his hearers to bear well in
mind the fact that as a man sows, so
will he reap.
After an intermission, dnringwhich
the choir sang th'e 179th hjmn, "I
hear Thy gentle voice," Mr. Moody
resumed his remarks, and said that
ex-attorney gene'l Williams, of Port
land had been interested in Paul'
epistle tn the Romans, and had been
impressed favorably with the prom
ises and declarations contained thero-
ln. JUr. Moody argued that unbelief
was the crowning sin of the wotld to
day, for unbelief was giving God the
lie. The speaker held that n man is
necessarily affected by what ho be
believes, and that the first thing nec
essary is to beliove.
Tn a most convincing manner he
closed his address, and called for
converts, and while the oboir and
audience sang Old Hundred,
many came toward in rosponse to the
call.
Mr. Moody i3 worth hearing, and
everybody is invited to-day.
