A Port Townsend dispatch says:
The Pacific coast union of marine
engineers and firemen inaugurated a
general strike for higher wages last
Monday morning, which extended
over the Sound, taking effect on tug
boats. The engineers demanded 8150
per month, the present salary being
3125. The Holyohe, Sea' Lion,
Jiaau.-K and fioneer have conceded
to the strikers' demands, and the
others are holding off. The firemen
now receive 345 monthly, and strike
for SCO. This will cause a general
tying-up of tugs until satisfactory
arrangements are made.
A LITTLE MIXED.
Bnt Not More So Than Some of Thera.
People who go to church (and there
are lots of people who go to church in
Astoria) often notice the turning of
the pulpit into an advertising desk be
fore the morning service begins; there
are all sorts of announcements and
notices. The writer once heard the
minister in a church in this city read
out a notice of a meeting of
the Salvation Army "at their
barracks iu this city this after
noon." And the congregation seemed
to take it seriously. Which tho same
calls up the remembrance that once, iu
an English country church tho curate
had to give out two notices, the first
of which was about baptisms and the
latter had to do with a new hymn
book. Owing to an accident he in
verted the order and gave out as fol fel fol
eows: "I am requested to announce
that the new hymn-book will be used
for the first time in this church Sun
day next; and I am requested to call
attention to the delay which often
takes place in bringing children to be
baptized; they should be brought on
the earliest day possible. This is par
ticularly pressed on mothers who have
young babies." "And for the infor
mation of those who have none,"
added the rector, in gentle, kindly
tones, and who, being deaf, had not
heard what had been previously said
"and for the information of those
who have none I may state, if wished,
they can be obtained on application
in the vestry immediately after service
to-day. Limp ones, 1 shilling each;
with stiff backs, 2 shillings."

The call for the meeting is signed

PEESONAL MENTION.

The "Arizona Kicker."
The Detroit Free Press is able to
discover the following characteris
tic items in the last number of the
Arizona Kicker. For some un
know reason the Kicker Horn not ex
change witk'any of its Pacific coast
contemperaries:
ExPLAVATonr. The absence of our
society column for the last three issues
seems to call for an explanation. The
trouble was jealousy among the bon
ton. If we happen to make a five
line announcement that Mrs. Colonel
Dash expected her brother-in-law
direct from the California pen
itentiary on a certain date,
and only a four lino item to tho
effect that Mrs. Judge De Sota
imported her bustle direct from Zan
zibar, there was an ill-feeling which
stirred up the entire community.
We Boon. While the towns about
us have been bragging of their prog
ress we have kept quiet and got in
our work without kicking up any
cloud of dust. Brag is all right in
its way, but we don't propose to come
out with a double leaded scare-head
article every time a citizen hangs a
new front gate. Booms are good
enough in their way, but there must
be a merit behind them. With no
disposition to claim this as the only
growing town in Arizona, and with
no desire to kill the growth of rival
towns, we humbly call attention to
the fact that since January 1st four
teen new saloons, three poker-rooms,
and four retail tobacco stores have
been opened in the place, and at the
present moment eighteen men are en
gaged in building a jail capable of
accommodating thirty prisoners. We
have done all this without any bras
or bluster, and we propose to keep
ngnt on in tue same quiet fashion,
leaving the outside world to judge
for itself as to where it shall seek new
homes and invest its capital.
Our Jealous Contemporary.
The dyspeptic old excrescence who
claims to edit the milk-and-mush
publication down at the corner of
Catfish alley is jealous of our adver
tising patronage. In a labored article
this week in his poorly printed old
apology he says that we practice bull
dozing to bring advertising. What a
liar. The Kicker practice bulldozing!
The idea is laughable, and if he was
worth minding we should walk down
to his shanty and choke the assertion
down his brazen throat There used
to be several firms here which didn't
believe in advertising. We could'nt
make 'em believe in it until we went at
it and found out that they were com
posed of gentlemen who had skipped
from the east for barn-burning, horse
stealing, bigamy, embezzlement, etc.
Then we wrestled with 'em, and they
came to see that the life of trade was
in using printer's ink. We simply
convinced not bulldozed. Tho efforts
of our knock-kneed contemporary to
smirch the fair fame of the Kicker
will simply call forth smiles of pity.
Epoch.
The Iransilion from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indi
vidual. Such a remarkable event is
treasured in the memory and the agency
wnereoy uie goou ueaitu nas uecn at
tained is gratefullv blessed. Hence it is
that so much is heard in praise of Elec
tric Bitters. So many feel they owe
their restoration to health to tho use of
the Great Alterative and Tonic. If you
are troubled with any disease of the
Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of long or
short standingyou will surely findre
lief by use of Electric Bitters. Sold at

ADVERTISING DOCTORS.
A Palpable Keason "Why They ShonW
Not All Be Adjudged Impostors.
It is invariably tho rule that among
advertising doctors, one out of a hun
dred performs the cures and relief ho
advertises to, and among those few
who cure, Drs. Darrin stand in the
lead. Their testimonials alone are
sufficient to bear witness to the fore
going assertion, and it is doubtful
whether among tho thousands of ad
vertising doctors in the country there
is a single one who has met with such
imminent success as those above
quoted, as the following extracts of
testimonials will shew:
THE NAMES THAT CAN BE REFERRED TO.
Mrs. S. P. McKee. 147 Water street.
Portland, Or., catarrh eleven years,
scrofulous lamps on neck and throat,
paralysis of the face and optic nerve,
and female troubles in their worst
form.

months with an eye affliction, 'nerv
ous abhorence of light," accompanied

county, W. T. Excruciating pains in
eye-balls, liver and kidney complaint,
deafness 31 years, and a lump in her
side thought to be an ovarian tumor,

brother, Geo. L. Colwell, Skamokawa;
W. T., was cured of a numbness of
the arm.
Mrs. E. Ahlf, 160 North Fourteenth
St., Portland, cured after nine doctors
had failed, of painful menstruation and
womb trouble in every conceivable
way, general debility, pain through
the heart and lungs.
Charles Christerman, Portland, Ore
gon, scrofulous catarrh so bad that de
struction of his noso was threatened
and become so offensive that it was
sickening both to himself and friends,
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 everything seemed
to turn black before his eyes, success
fully treated.
E. F. Chapman, Springfield, Or.,
writes Dr. Darrin thus: '"My wife is
still improving in health. The asthma,
cough and female troubles are nearly
well, in fact better than sho has beeh
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 thero is no doctor on earth
like Dr. Darrin.

Angus McDonald's Death.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer ha3
the following concerning Annus Mc
Donald, who died recently in Seattle:
McDonald was the leader of the four
men who removed tho jam in the
Skagit river and so opened that water
way to navigation. McDonald and
associates hoped to realize enough
trom the logs and from what the
government might give them to pay
them for the work. The four spent
the four years from 1S76 to 1880 in
clearing the great mass of logs which
impeded the navigation of the river.
The work was very hard and the men
scarcely made board. The exposure
incident to this work broke down Mc
Donald's health and he never fully re
covered, xne lonr men who per
formed this great public work put in
claims of S25.000 each, but were never
able to collect a cent. They per
formed the work under a mistaken
impression that the United States
wonld compensate them therefor.
Since then McDonald has been un
able to perform manul labor and
followed light vocations. For the
past two years he has been attending
bar. McDonald was 42 years of age
and a native of Glengarry, Canada.
He was known both as Angus Mc
Donald and Donald McDonald.
THE LADIES DELIGHTED.
The pleasant effect and the perfect
safety with which ladies may use the
liquid fruit laxative, Syrup of Figs, un
der all conditions make it their favorite
remedy. It is pleasing to the eye and to
the taste, gentle, yet effectual in acting
on the kidneys, liver and bowels.
