ASTORIA. OREGON:
FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 13. 1889.
The smallest incorporated town in
the country is said to be the borough
of South Atlantic City, N. J. It has
nineteen voters.
TnoMAS G. Sheakmax estimates
there are 31,000 persons in this coun
try who own three-fifths of the total
wealth of the country.
Belgium has the largest railway
mileage in proportion to area, having
full twenty-five miles of railway to
every 100 square miles.
Every block in Bntte, M. T., has a
private watchman. The audacities of
the incendiaries have created great
uneasiness, and if a capture is made
the citizens will hardly suffer the cul
prit to go to triaL
The stampede to the Swaukgold
district, twenty-five miles north of
Ellensburg, "W. T.. is increasing. The
mother lode, which produced from
100 to 700 nuggets, it is confidently
believed, is at last found.
O
It is claimed that four American
vessels were deliberately run ashore
by San Domingan pilots, when they
were plundered by officials. Claims
for resulting damages are being made
out and will bo presented to the
"Washington authorities.
John L. SuiiiiiVAN' is going to be a
candidate for a seat in the Boston city
council so as to get some practice be
fore running for congress.. Hero is a
pointer for some of our Astoria poli
ticians. The election for Astoria
councilmen is only three months off.
The ways of auctioneers in differ
ent parts of the world vary greatly.
In England and America the seller
bears the expense of the sale,
but in France the purchaser bears
the cost, 5 per cent being added
to his purchase. In Holland it is still
worse, the buyer being required to
pay 10 per cent, additional for the ex
penses of the sale.
Corpokaii James Tanner rarely
goes to bed before ten o'clock in the
morning. It is unusual for him to
get a night's sleep. He is accustomed
to sit up until, thoroughly tired out,
ho is obliged to lie down. But often
times he can only ache and toss, and
now and then he is obliged to get up
again and sit in his library for an
hour or two and smoke himself more
tired. The trouble is due to the in
cessant pain in Ids two amputated
legs. President Harrison has fired
him out of the office of commissioner
of pensions, because ho made too
much noise with his mouth.
ADVICE FROM BELOW STAIRS.
"Bridget, I would give all my wealth for
half of your health."
"Sure, ma'am, you need only give ?5, for
that's tho price of six bottles of J. V. S.,' as
the boys call it Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparll la
will make you as strong as me, ma'am."
Mrs. J. Barron, of 142 Seventh street, San
Francisco, writes: "I have been taking Joy'a
Vegetable Sarsaparilla with Immense benefit,
It is perfectly splendid to build up nervous,
run-down and worn out women.-" Mrs. Fred
Loy, of 327 Ellis street, Mrs. G. Werner of 235,
Berry street, and hundreds of others relato
the same experience with tho pure -v cgetabla
juices oi tms uamornia compound.
The issue of postal cards for the
year succeeding the letting of the
first contract in 1873 was 100,000,000.
In the- contract recently made the
yearly demand for the next four years
13 estimated at 500,000,000.
Epocli.
The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epocn in tne me ot me nun
vidnal. Such a lemarkable event is
treasured m the memory and the agency
whereby the good health has been at
tained is gratefully blessed. Hence it is
that so much is lfeard in praise of Elec
tric Uitters. bo many feel they owe
their restoration to health to the use of
the Great Alterative and Tonic If you
are troubled with any disease of the
Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of long or
short standing you will surely find re
lief by use of Electric Bitters. Sold at
50 c and Si per bottle at .1, "W. Conn's

TItcir Business Booming.
Probably no one thinglias caused such
a general revival of trade at J. W.
Conn's Drug Store as his giving away
to their customers of so many free trial
bottles orDr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption. Their trade is simply
enormous in this very valuable article
from the fact that it always cures and
never disappoints. Coughs, Colds,
Asthma, Eronclntis, Cronp, and all
throat and lung diseases quickly cured.
Ton can test it before buying by getting
a trial bottle free, large size Si. Every
bottle warranted.
