ASTORIA. OREGON:
FRIDAY SEPTEMBER C, 1889.
Since the last meeting of congress
four congressmen have died J. M.
Bums, of Missouri, E. "W. Townshend,
of Illinois, E. J. Gay, of Louisiana, and
James Laird, of Nebraska,'-tliree
Democrats and one Republican. No
change in the political situation will
occur except it be in Louisiana, -where
with an honest vote and a fair count,
a Republican will be elected.
. .
John Mtjib, who has-been exploring
in Alaska, says that Behring strait
can be bridged. It is only sixty miles
aoross in the narrowest place, and
there are three islands strung along
in it This would divide the bridge
up into four divisions. The water
is shallow, and in many places not
over twenty feet deep. The only
trouble would be from floating ice
bergs, but that could be overcome by
constructing swinging bridges.
As an evidence of how slow the
president is making changes in the
offices, it may"be stated that the Rus
sian mission, paying a salary of 17,
500 a yea'r, is still vacant, and that
Democrats are still holding the mis
sions to China, $12,000 a year; Corea,
7,500; Bolivia, Persia and Siam,
5,000 each, and Liberia, 4,000. It
may be interesting for candidates
Handy, Bedloe, Edwin Stevens, Adam
Everly, Franklin Hall and others to
know that in a total of thirty-eight
consuls-general, only fifteen changes
have been made so far. The pay at
tached to these offices ruus up from
3,000 to 15,000 a year. Of a total
of 158 consuls of the second-class,
paying an average salary of 2,500 a
year, changes have been made in only
one-fourth. In class three of con
sulships, paying 1,000 a year and
fees, out of a total of twenty-four,,
changes have been made in only two.
And yet secretary Blaine rests quietly
at Bar Harbor and will not return
until the frost is there. Of the
eighty-five lowest grades of consul
ship paying only a few hundred dol
lars a year compensation, no changes
have been made.
Was there ever, says the Bankers
Monthly, such a history as that of
the cotton seed? For seventy years
despised" as a nuisance, and burned or
dumped as garbage, then discovered
to be the very food for which tlje
soil was hungering, and reluctantly
admitted to the rank of utilities,
shortly afterward found to be nutri
tious food for beasts as well as for
soil, and thereupon treated with
something like respect Once admit
ted to the oircle of farm industries
it was found to hold thirty-five gal
lons of pure oil to the ton, worth in
its crude state 14 to the ton, or 40,
000,000 for the whole crop of
'seed. But then a system was
devised for refining the oil up to a
value of 1 a gallon, and the frugal
Italians placed a cask of it at the root
of every olive tree and then defied the
Borean breath of the Alps. And then
experience showed that the ton of
cotton seed was a better fertil
izer and a better stock food when
robbed of its thirty-five gallons of oil
than before, that the hulls of the seeds
made the best of fuel for feeding the
oil mill engijs, that the ashes of the
hulls scooped from thejengiuo's draught
had the highest commercial value as
potash, and that the "refuse" of the
whole made the best and purest soap
stock, to carry to the toilet the per
t ames of Lubin or Colgate.
A Little Too Frank.
"I will be frank and truthful with
you, my darling." said'George Him
self tenderly, "as I always intend to
be after we are married. You are not
beautiful, but you have more good
sense than all the pretty girls I know
put together."
"And 1, too, will be frank and truth
ful," replied Amanda Herself, for it
was she. "You don't know as much
as a last year's bird's nest, but you
have a larger mouth and keep it open
longer at a time than any man I ever
saw." She smiled like an angel when
she ceased to speak, and somehow
George Himself began to wonder
whether his franking privilege could
not be carried to excess. Biirdette in

AN UGLY DISCOVERY.
A Report That Should Be Read.
'A recent analyzatlon in Philadelphia by
celebrated chemist of ten popular brands of
sarsaparilla discloses the astonishing fact that
these ten samples of blood purifiers (?) con
talned In the aggregate tixleen different min
erals, eleven of which wero active poisons.
Iodide of potash "was discovered in every sam
ple, mercury was found In all but two, while
arsenic existed in six of tho ten brands. Not
one brand was the pure article."
A reporter took tho above clipping to E. W.
Joy, the manufacturer of Joy's Vegetable Sar
Eaparilla. Mr. Joy exhibited no surprise. He
said druggists knew it Ho said he long ago
saw tho crying need for a safe and absolutely
pure TCgetaBle preparation of Sarsaparilla,
hence his was named Joy's vegetable sarsapa
xilla, because it contained nothing but pure
eyrup of sarsaparija, combined with the pure
Juices of Calif ornla's vegetables! teratlves. Un
like potash sarsaparillas, it does not force im
purities through the skin but stimulates the
various secretive organs, inereoy uorrctiuiK
functional
derangements and eliminating au
tmnnrltiv- through t
natural cbaonels.

TiRht Lacinc;.
A verdict of death from tight lacing
comes from a Birmingham jury, ex
pressed as,a verdict of "Death from
pressure round the waist" The sub
ject was a servant girl who died after
a fright, and her death was attributed
by the medical witnesses to the fact
that she was laced too tightly to en
able her to stand any sudden emotion.
She was a notorious tight-lacer, not
only at the waist Her collar fitted
so closely that it was impossible to
loosen it at the critical moment. Un
der her corsets she wore a tightly
buckled belt N. Y.-Su?i.
Tlie Verdict Unanimous .
W.D. Suit, Druggist Bippus, Ind.,
testifies: "I 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 Rheumatism of 10 years' standing."
Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellville,
Ohio, affirms: "The best selling medi
cine I have ever handled in my 20 years'
experience, is Electric Bitters." Thou
sands of others have added their testi
mony, so that the verdict is unanimous
that ElectrieBitters do cure diseases of
the Liver, Kidneys or Blood. Only a
