ASTOEIA. OREGON:
SUNDAY... OCTOBER 27, 1SS9.
A Chicago husband and wife both
filed petitions for divorce on the same
day, each without the knowledge" of
the other.
he son of a Chicago millionaire is
in jail for stealing cigars. The evils
of the tobacco habit have rarely been
more strikingly illustrated.

EmuiIiE de Layatcye believes that
the two great powers of the future,
leaving' China out of the question, are
the United States and Eussia.
The Marion county board of eznali
zation made a horizontal reduction of
25 per cent, on the county assessment
roll, last year, as returned by the ass
essor. Mes. Cochran, of Shelbyville, Illi
nois, has invented a dish washing ma
chine, and if it is a success the weary
women of America will .rise up and
call her blessed.
Bib- ck told the czar that a policy
of conciliation should be adopted in
Russian public affairs, and the czar
asked Bismarck why he had never
tried it in Germany.
A lawyer at Tarpon Springs, Flor
ida, advertise as follows in -a local
paper:. "Marriages and divorces se
cured with neatness and dispatch,
sith or without publicity."
TnE domain obtained from the In
dians by the Minnesota commission is
as large as Connecticut. The Indians
have been made citizens of the "state,
so as to be more easily governed.
The Corvallis Times is evidently
indignant with the Yamhill Ledger
man, and fearlessly states that the
Y. L. man 'ought to be in hades set
ting red hot nonpareil italic at a nickel
a thousand."
Says a "Washington D. G. dispatch:
"The Venezuela claim commission
has been organized over a week, but
has struck an obstacle in a lack of
claims to consider. It is thought
claimants are not aware of the com
mission being organized, and that as
soon as they are so informed then the
commission will have plenty to do."
The commission ought to advertise.
Astorians Should Take Notice.
"It is .the business of reputable and
honest organs of local opinion to see
that establishments locating them
selves here and thriving upon the
good name of this community shall
not go up and down tire laud pushing
improper schemes without being
called to explanation or account. It
is the belief in many quarters, east
and west that the American Building
and Loan association is a scheme to
defraud the poor and unwary. The
least reputable part of the business of
this 'American Building and Loan
association' is its expense. "' This
American association exists solely
and purely because it can collect un
der guise of an expense fund an enor
mous sum of money that goes, pre
sumably, in the pockets of the man
agers. No other financial institutions
ever organized on earth, not even the
worst of the bogus assessment insur
ance companies, have ever as we be
lieve made such exorbitant charges
for expenses." -Minneapolis Trib
une. A CALIFORNIA. SENSATION.
Petaluma Courier.
Itis reported thatthcsalcsoItho"California
Bemedy," Joy's Yegetablo Sarsaparilla, have
grown within a few months till they aro now
really sensational. Tho way tho fame of this
production has spread is simply marvelous.
Six months ago it was unknown. To-day it
is all over the country. It is authoritatively
ctated that they have been actually giving it
away in San Francisco to people afflicted with
dyspepsia, sick headaches, indigestion and
liver troubles, not to he paid for unless it
cured. Such practical tcets are so startlingly
convincing as to he almost sensational. It is
stated that two of the active principles of tho
new remedy belong to the vegetablckingdom
of California and are so well known to us all
under common names that it would surpriso
us if told them. But we are not surprised at
anything Californian, and this recent discov
ery of the new medicinal virtues of its vegeta-
Uo kingdom is but another instance of tho
astonishing possibilities cf a soil and climate
lite ours.

Kearney's domestic troubles.
Arthur Kearney was arrested this
morning on a warrant issued at the
instance of his wife who says he ha3
threatened to kill her. She alleges
that last "Weduesday while drunk he
assaulted her and said he would cut
her to pieces. Ivearney's bonds were
fixed at $100: he was present before

said "its whiskv that causes me to do

is to put me in jail. It has caused me
the loss of wife and two little boys"
and the tears came into the wretched
man s eves.
a lively time on TnE "elder."
C. H. Lewis, first mate of the Geo.
W. Elder, who has been charged
with brutally beating a man named
Nordberg, while the ship was iu north
ern waters, called this morning to
make a denial. In giving his version
of the affair Mr. Lewis said: Nord
berg in the first place was not a sailor
on the ship. The statement that he
was acting in such capacity is a false
hood. On the morning of "the 13th he
and thirty other fishermen came
aboard the vessel at Pyramid Harbor,
Alaska to take passage. They were a
rough looking set. In a short time
one of the crew came up from the
forecastle and said the fishermen had
left the steerage quarters and were in
the forecastle drinking liquor. They
were also furnishing the ship's sailors
with whisky and rendering them un
fit for duty. To make the situation
more grave, we needed all the sailors,
as the ship was in the worst portion
of her course. I went at once to the
forecastle and told the fisher
men not to give the seamen
any more whisky, also to
quit drinking, themselves, as I did not
want drunken men on the ship. Hard
ly an hour had passed when the assis
tant came up and said the fishermen
were again giving liquor to the men.
I returned to the forecastle and told
the offenders if they did not desist I
should put them in irons. Nordberg
applied a vile epithet to me and in
reply I slapped him in the face. He
then went with others to the steerage.
Soon the steward reported that they
were fighting among themselves. I
went down and found, one man with
his head cut epen: the others were all
smashed up. We patched up the in
jured man and caused the fighting to
stop. It was in this broil that Nord
berg was hurt. I am not a vicious
man and never abuse my sailors,
much less passengers, but "if a man
gives me strong provocation while on
my vessel I shall deal with him as he
deserves."

THE READY REVOLVER.
Farmington, W. T. Oct 26. This
morning a man named Russell in
company with another man, named
(Jolton, a cripple from Davton en
tered the Palace saloon while under
the influence of liquor. After a few
remarks he drew a revolver and shot
Dan'l Canty through the head, the
uaii entering oexow tue temple and
passing back of the windpipe and out
at the neck. Medical assistance was
immediately summoned, bnt the
chances of Canty's recovery -are one
among a thousand. Daniel Canty is
a young man about 20 years of age
and well thought of. Russel is about
28 years old and the son of Charles
Russell an old pioneer of "Walla
Walla. He is now locked up in the
city jail waiting his examination which
takes place to-day.
PRIVILEGED CHINESE.
San Francisco, Oct 26. One "of the
crew of the United States flagship
OmaJi a writes from Yokohama, say
ing: "One-fourth of our crew are
Chinamen, who, it may be here stated,
are not subject to the discipline to
which other men must accede.
Tho Chinamen go up to the mast,
shake their hand to their cap, the
officer of the deck answers, 'All right,'
and the Chinamen go ashore to re
turn at their own discretion and con
venience. Notice beside these China
men at the mast perhaps one of the
few Americans on the ship. When
the officer of the deck sees him he of
course asks himjwhat he wants. He
requests to see the executive .officer to
know if he can go ashore. What ia
the result? His request is met with a
positive refusal, because it is not three
days since he was ashore last, and.
the man walks away, while the China
men, who go ashore every day, go
tripping over the gangway laughing
at the rejected Americans. Is that
justice? Is that discipline? I know
every fair-minded citizen's answer: It
is neither.
"We have three Chinamen who are
rated as carpenters and calkers.
When we arrived in Yokohama one
year ago we had seventeen white men
doing all the cooking for the ship's
company. Their rate was lands
men, and they received an additional
$18 a month from the messes for which
they cooked. Then the men were of
some use when called on deck to man
a gun or participate in au evolution
or drill of any kind. Furthermore,
they were better cooks, and as regards
cleanliness and neatness they by far
surpass our present Chinese cooks,
but it was of no use. The Americans
must -go and the Chinese must come
and they did come, and we have twelve
Chinamen cooking on the berth deck,
and the white cooks are on deck as
landsmen and ordinary seamen, while
the Chinamen 'enjoy their victory and
$25 a month." '
JOHN L. SULLIVAN.
Boston, Oct 26. The statement
that John L. Sullivan is bankrupt is
said on authority to be false. The
sum of $20,000 of his money was

has it yet. Arthur T. Lumley and
Charfey Johnston have published a
card and say he has had large sums
