ra Wxt gaftjj gitavKatt. ASTORIA. OEEGON: THURSDAY- .JDNE 13, 1889. A Toeosto telegraph company ia competing with the government post office by delivering letters for 1 cent each. A SybagtjsEjN. Y., newsboy vranta $10,000 damages because a man called him a swindler for exchanging an old paper for a new one. The Kev. P. S. Twitty of Cuthbert, Ga., is trying to organize an anti kiss ing society in that town. Up to latest advices the society consisted of the Rev. P. S. Twitty. .... Six indictments for gambling have been returned against a minister of the Kanawah valley, W. Va. It is presumed that he presided over some games of chance to be found occasion ally at church fairs. Ax effort is to be made in Iowa to strip the law of its nonsense. Lawyers declare that deeds, warrants and all other legal papers can be cut down one-half intho amount of whereases and wherefores. Auditor Coulteb calls for seventy five additional clerks to handle the untouched money-orders that have been accumulating in the past two years. One of his chief clerks says twice the number are needed. United State3 senator Payne of Ohio is quoted as saying he is positive ly not a candidate for reelection. He seems to have had an unhappy time of itBince holding a seat in the senate to which the title is questionable. Benjamin D. Sullivan of New York city says there were only 495 lawyers in that city when ho began his prac tice sixty years ago, but that the Now York bar is now adorned with 5,575 members, somo of whom have grown rich. William Kehsileb, who is the first person sentenced in New York to be executed by electricity, says that he fears such a death a hundred times more than a death by rope. If murderers generally have such a dread of the mysterious death by electrio shock, life may bo safer when such punishment is in general practice. The census of 1890 will furnish in formation which no other federal cen sus has yielded relating to the re corded indebtedness of the people, The idea is to present statistics show ing the extent of this private indebted' ness of record and the form in which it exists namely, whether in real 03tate or mortgages, debts otherwise secured, or in general indebtedness through notes and bills payable. In these peaceful times -no business is more profitable than the manufao. ture of death-dealing instruments. At Steyer, in Upper Austria, is the big gest small arms factory in the world. Day and night the factory is'busy making Mannlicher repeating rifles for the Austrian army and the com positoManser-Krapotchek-Mannlicher rifle for the Germans. Germany will have its own plant, capable of turning out one thousand rifles a day, in oper ation next year. At Birmingham and Enfield a plant is being put, in in an ticipation'of big orders for the British service rifle. The British orders will keep English arms factories busy for at least two years. . ' The Situation at Seattle. Seattle. June LL A careful can vass reveals the situation in this city to be as follews: The business men are almost entirely without store rooms, but are putting up tents in whicn tney will be nuie to aispose 01 their wares until more suitable quar ters can be erected. This element of onr citizens are abundantly able to care for themselves. There are a large number of people in the city, including clerks, etc with and without families, who have lost their all, and alarge number of persons also who are destitute and without food or shelter, except what is erven them. These people are being cared for the best way possible, but as it will be some months beiore tney can be supplied with houses, any contri bution in the slinno of bedding, food and household goods of all kinds will be most acceptable. A labor bureau is being organized, and it is only a question of a few days until all who want can find work. Those who have no visible means of support, and who will not work will bo ordered to leave the city, and if they don't, will be arrested and sum marily dealt with. Eestaurants are starting up all over the city, and those who have money can find food, plain though it may be. The city will be rebuilt at once, on a grander and-better scale than ever, Contracts have already been let for numbers of large brick buildings, and inside of one year Seattle will doubt less, be a better and greater city than foofors The relief committee has full charge of all contributions, which will be used in ihe best manner possible. Quite an amount of funds will be required to tide us over, but liberal donations of money, which are being gratefully received, will enable us to ffS. most neeay. The weather is good, and will pre vent much suffering to those without shelter. The gratitude of Seattle to those lellow-oountrvmen who have been so liberal to her in her suffering, is un bounded, and will never be forgotten. J. U.1XEWIB, Chairman Belief Committee. EDITOBIAIi EXPLANATION. Why the Swampyllle "WlRsler" Palled to Appear Last Week. The Swampville Wiggler of last week contained, among other interest ing personals, the following. Old Bob Crook has set a report go ing in town that does us a crave in justice and we feel that it is oar duty io use ana orana it as mramoasly false. He says that the reason we failed to get the Wiggler ont last week was because we were too drunk to set the type. We want to say right here that old Bob lies. When we get too drunk to set type we are preny lar gone. How, the fact of the business is simnlv this: Thursday afternoon when our lorms were made up and readv to lock, we went up to Colonel Dyke's saloon to meet Major Bones, who promised to be there at that time to pay ua sixty cents on his subscrip tion account, which has been run ning over seven years. When we ar rived the major was in the middle of a long yarn about old times, and we waited for him to finish before we called bis attention to his promise. After that we joined the boys in a onus just to snow ine social siue oi our nature. Well, when wo went back to our ofBca we found that jndge Jones' old red sow had rooted the office door down and was inside playing havoc with things generally. Sue had al ready unset the imnosing stone and pied the forms and was at the mo ment we stepped in standing on her head eating the last of a keg of ink we had' just received as pay for a column of advertising space for one year. We undertook to drive the old sor rel rip out, when she whirled on us and showed a strong desire to eat us. We felt that it would be well to make our esoape, so we skun op the wall just as she made a rip at us and got our pants. It was a narrow escape from a horrible death. For four hours we sat up there astride of a sharp joist and "sooied" that old varmint, but she paid no more attention to us than she would to the blowing of the wind. She drank the last bit of our ink, and tried to eat the keg, and then she -ate the tympan off the press. At last, just at dark, Bhe took our subscrip tion book" in her mouth and trotted away, and w? came down and stole home down the back alley, where we had to remain until our wife succeed ing in persuading Colonel Barnes to let us have a pair of pants on time, for whicn we nope to induce the genial colonel to take advertising in par. This is the true reason why the Wiggler failed to appear last week, and old Bob Crook knows it, for we saw mm ana nve or six others stand ing on the opposite street 'corner laughing at us as we sat astride of the joist We want to say right here that we've suffered enough at the bands of that old sow, and it something is not done with her we shall take the law in our own hands. This is not the first time she has raided oar office. It was only last month, when wa were deeply absorbed in a lending editorial on the marvelous growth and pmKreis ofouroity, tuntBuecimeinuunoticod, and without the least wnrniug rooted over the bench on which wo weru lit the time writing. That old sow is the bane ot onr lire, and for nf teen years has kept us out of the church. She has demolished our office, taken the bread ont of our mouth, made our life miserable, stood between us and Heaven, and now we say she must cease. HE SENT IT EAST. For a year I was troubled with paUu In ay back and aide, and headaches, the re sult of liver and kidney trouble. I was attracted to Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparllla, by tho startling testimonials In the pa pers. They seemed so practical I was in-' duccd to try it, knowing- that as it was purely vegetable, It would do no harm. It acted as a gentle laxative. After the second bottle my pains and aches disap-, peorcd. It did so much for me that I sent several bottles to my family In New Jersey, who also took it with the mosij satisfactory results.
