m t gaitji gtstiMMt. ASTOKIA. OREGON: WEDNESDAY- ..SEPTEMBER 18. 1889. Petroleum "vas discovered thirty, years ago. The Standard Oil com pany recently celebrated the event by holding a state Democratic convention in Ohio. Montana's new constitution, it is said, prohibits logrolling in her legis lature. Any member -who promises his vote for a measure in considera tion of another's vote on another measure is deemed guilty of solicita tion of bribery. Justice Miller, of Iowa and Jus tice Field, of California are the two men now on the supreme bench, who owe their places to President Lincoln. The other two whom he appointed, David Davis and Noah H. Swayne, are dead. Justice Miller is nearly 75 vears old. The "cold fresh air cure' is a new cure for consumption. Slowly being accustomed to the action of air, the patient is moved a little nearer each day toward an open window. The last stage of the cure consists in sleeping in the open air, regardless of wind, rain or snow. Dr. Greek, of the "Western Union, is very much inclined to doubt the financial success of extending the tel egraph lines to 40,000 little postoffices in order to make the blessings of the telegraph service well nigh universal for the people. Mr. AVanamaker lias set his heart upon the scheme. Edison is reported, in a conversa tion with au interviewer who solicited his ideas on the subject of the pro jected world's fair in New. York, as saying that he would take an acre of space in such a fair and completely cover it with his inventions, of which he has no less than seventy now un der way. "One of the most peculiar, and now promising good results," said Edison, "is what 1 may call a far sight machine." By means of this extraordinary invention he hopes to be able to increase the range of vision by hundreds of miles, so that, for instance, "a man in New York could see the features of his friend in Boston with as much ease as he could see a performance on the stage. That," he added, "would be an invention worthy a prominent place in the world's fair, and I hope to have it perfected long before 1892." No merchant needs to be told that discounts mean wealth. In fact, no retailer can afford to lose them. No tice a few figures: Suppose you have 820,000 at G per cent, invest 81,000 of it in fitting up a store and the other 819,000 in merchandise, which is turned over three times a year. Fig ure your prices so they shall cover cost of goods and expenses, not includ ing interest on capital. By paying ten days cash for your goods 819,000 three times your discounts will amount to 83,420, which, less 81,200 interest on capital, leaves you a net gain of 82,220. Thus a business of only'about 860,000, with goods sold at cost, yields over 3 per cent., constitut ing a fair income, after paying G per cent on the capital invested. Is it, then, any wonder that the gigantic concerns with sales among the millions can sell goods at close figures and still rejoice in princely incomes? There are thoughts in these fignres which all business men will do well to pon der. A CALIFORNIA SENSATION'. lPetalmna Courier.

A brutal prize fight occurred here last night which resulted in the "death of one of the participants. Thos. E. Jackson, lo years old, is the victim. He fought Ed. A. Hearn, a local light weight champion, eleven bloody rounds, and at the opening of the twelfth fell fainting in his second's arms. The fight throughout was the most desperate ever witnessed in the ring, science beiug lost sight of and slog ging marking the fight throughout. By the time half a dozen rounds had been fought the men and their sec onds were covered with blood as also was the sawdust on the floor, while the water with which the fighters were sponged was as red as blood it self. When Jackson was unconscious he was carried to a room above the saloon where three physicians worked vigorously to restore him but without avail and at 11 o'clock this moruiug Jackson died. He is a son of George M. Jackson, a well known local green backer. The affair has created in tense excitement as a number of prom inent people are likely to become in evolvd. The spectators principally were pool alley sports who made up a purse of 830 for which the boys con tested with two ounce hard gloves. Chief of police Heubler has-ordered the arrest of all the parties concerned in the affair. NEW TO-DAY. AT AUCTION Thursday, September 19, At 10 A. M.
