Care is necessary as to lire. 'A spark might raise an awful blaze." Iu the police court yesterday Geo. Bradley was fined S20 for indecent exposure, Jas. Petty, 320 for vag rancy, and two drunks got each a S5 line. From the amount of street work and street cleaning being done it looks as though the procession would have often thoroughfare for the parade on the 4th. No. One's engine was called up to Ivopp's brewery Sunday morning at four o'clock to relievo ltescnes. No. Ones pumped until 9 a. m. when all danger was passed.

The liveliest sale of delinquent real estate ever .seen in Astoria was one presided over by sherill" Smith, the chairman of the meeting at the court house yesterday morning.

The Oregonian has added to its staff a Shakespeareian editor whose sole business and nightly delight is to preface articles in that journal with quotations from Shakespeare. Im mortal Shakespeare, dead nnd turned to clay, all same Caesar, little thought that an account of a Portland prize fight (called a "city election") would be'prefaced by his lines. "To snch base uses may we come at last." The jnry in the Olds trial for the murder of Weber, disagreed last Sun day 8 to 4. The Oregonian, edit orially lays its finger on the exact fact, in pointing out that the Portland police are principally responsible for Weber's murder in so acting as to en courage Olds in "the deep damnation of his taking off." In this the Ore gonian incidentally throws a side light on the political corruption exist ent in that city. John Kopp desires to express his most grateful and sincere thanks to the fire department nnd the citizens generally for the zeal they nanifested in the effort to save his property at the burning ot his brewery last Satur day night. He also wishes to thank the members of the Western Amateur band, and those who so gpuerously subscribed toward the purchase of the fine silver tuba, with which he was presented last Saturday evening. In a conversation with Mr. Kopp last evening he expressed his intention of starting in again. His credit is A 1, and before long be expects to be again in business. He deserves the substan tial support of all his former patrons in his courage under adverse circumstances. "What impressed you moat during your recent visit to Germany?" was asked by an Astobian reporter of Jno. Halm, jesterday afternoon. "The fact," said he, "that so many women were at work in the fields." He told of women walking three miles, work ing from dawn to dark, and then walking back, for 16 cents a day. He said one can get a fine meal in Berlin for 9 cents. The thing is to get the 9 cents. When he got to Ber lin he found a splendid procession, the cit all in hoh'day attire and everything fixed up all same Fourth of July. At first he thought maybe it was'in honor of his arrival, but later found that all the hurrah was over the arrival that morning of ar other sovereign the king of Italy. Beird of Delecte A, F. D.

There are more worthy charities for the money of Salem's business men than rump newspapers and blackmail ing publications, and they know it, and act accordingly. Advertising is an investment. It is either a good investment, an mdmerent one, or a poor one. it it is in a sheet without circulation or character, or in a sheet that does not reach the constituency of the advertiser, it is worse than money thrown away; if it is in a sheet of meagre circulation, poorly gotten up and printed, it is an indifferent in vestment, even at a lowprice; but if it i3in a newspaper of acknowledged circulation and influence, that is well made up and printed, and that circu lates amongst the people the adver tiser desires to reach, it is a good in vestment at a reasonable price. No good business man can afford to ig nore this fact, and no progressive bus iness man in Salem does ignore it Salem Statesmaii, 22. THE LADIES DELIGHTED.

Loomis, president of tho I. and S. B. railroad, an Astorian represent ative took a trip to Narcottah, the terminus of the road. Leaving As toria at 9 a. m., Ilwaco was reached two hours later, where the cars were all in readiness to take the excursion ists. Nacottah was reached at noon, a large number stopping there to view the beauties of the new town, while others took the stages and left for Oys terville, arriving in time for dinner. At 4 o'clock the cars started on the return trip, and on arriving at Ilwaco the Ilwaco bras3 band was standing in front of the Central hotel, playing some lively music.
