Editor Daily Asterian:
I was pleased to seo in your paper of
this date, a call for a citizen's'meetincr.
I suppose for the purpose of consider
ing the cause of. the present depressed
state of busiuess in our city, and if
possible taKe steps to bring relief in
some shape. The questions are no
doubt what is the cause of this stag
nation r who is to blame r And how
to remedy matters and bring relief.
Astoriax.
The Verdict Unanimous.
W. D. Suit, Druggist. Bippus. Ind.,
testifies: "1 can recommend Electric
Bitters as the very best remedy. Every
bottle sold has given relief in every case.
One man took six bottles, and was cured
of Hheumatism of 10 years' standing."
Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellville,
Ohlo.afflrmst "The best selling medi
cine I have ever handled In my 20 vears'
experience, is Electric Bitters." Thou
sands of others have added their testi
mony, so that the verdict Is unanimous
that Electric Bitters do cure diseases of
the Liver, KIdnevs or Blood. Only a
half dollar a bottle at J. W. Conn's Drug
Store.

WEST TO PORTLAND.
Last Wednesday deputy United
States marshal Roberts arrived in
Astoria to summon vice-consul P. L.
Cherry to appear in this city to testify
in the United States district court in
the suit against the ship Otterspool
by Wm. Tucker. Mr. Cherry declined

NEXT SUMMER'S STEAMERS.
The O. K. & N. Co. has just issued
orders that the elegant steamer Alas
kan shall at once be put in sea going
condition and transferred to San Fran
cisco where she is to bo put into the
dry dock for a thorough overhauling.
Tho Alaskan is now lying at the bone
yard. A force of ship carpenters
will brace her hull in every way, neces
sary to make her thoroughly strong
and seaworthy. She will leave in less
than a week and be in the dry dock
about eight days. Her hull is to be
thoroughly scraped and cut and after
ward repainted. In addition to this
she will be to some extent refurnished
about the cabin with upholstery and
carpets. As soon as her repairs are
completed the Alaskan will be steam
ed up to the Sound where she will
take-her last year's route. It has not
yet been decided who will handle her
on the way below and up to the
Sound.
She will be taken north some time
before the first of next month and as
soon as she can relieve the T. J. Pot
ter that steamer will be transferred
to this division and put into service at
once on the seaside route. When the
Potter comes around she will be fixed
up considerably.
-Lhus all doubts rerardinEr rjrovision
of ample facilities for transporting
vwiiuRs iu iuu seaside are dispelled.
ADVEETISING DOCTORS.
A Palpable Reason Why They Should
not All Be Adjudged Impostor.
It is invariably the rule that among
advertising doctors, one out of a hun
dred performs the cures and relief he
advertises to. and amoncr those few
who cure, Drs. Darrin stand in the
lead. Their testimonials alone are
Bufflcient to bear witness to tho fore
going assertion, and it is doubtful
wnetner among the thousands of ad
vertising doctors in the countrv there
is a single one who has met with suoh
imminent success as those above
quoted, as the following extracts of
testimonials will shew:
THE NAMES THAT CAN BE REFERRED TO.

Portland, Or., catarrh eleven years,

paralysis of tho face and optio nerve,
and female troubles in their worst
form.

the arm.
Mrs. E. Ahlf, 1G0 North Fourteenth
St, Portland, cured after nine doctors

womb trouble in every conceivable
way, general debility, pain through
the heart and lungs.
Charles Christerman, Portland, Ore

cured in two months.
LeviBartmes, Stayton, Or., heart
disease, dyspepsia, pain through the
heart and lungs, and general nervous
debility, manv times he would fall as
though dead, when everythin; seemed
to turn black before his eyes, success
fully treated.
E. F. Chapman, Springfield, Or.,
writes Dr. Darrin thus: ,-Mywife is
still improving in health. The asthma,
cough and female troubles are nearly
well, in fact better than she has been
for twenty years. The catarrhal dis
charges in her throat are rapidly dim
inishing. Taking her case as a whole
she is fifty per cent better, and she
thinks there is no doctor on earth
like Dr. Darrin.

NOT A PIMPLE ON HIM NOW.
Bad with Eczema. Hair all cone.
Thouchthls hair -would never

I cannot sav too much in Draisonf thn Ctr-

ago, was so oau mm eczema mai no lose au
of his hair. His scalp was covered with erup
tions, which the doctors said was scall head,
and that his hair would never grow again.
Despairing of a cure from physicians, I began
the nse of the Ccticdea Remedies, and, I am
happy to say, with the most perfect success.
His nair is now splendid, and thero is not a
pimple on him. 1 recommend the Ccticuri
Remedies to mothers as the most speedy, eco
nomical, and sure cure for all skin diseases
of infants and children, and feel that every
mother who has an afflicted child will thank
me for to doing.
