A DESEHVIKC CASIL
Whore Chanty Would N'.tt Be .Mi-applied
When Astorians are aware of honest
suffering in their midst the' are al
ways charitable. Charitable ladies
yesterday left bundles of what poor
people need at the house where live
G. C. Morrison, his wife, and six chil
dren, near the Baptist church. L ing
on a cot is a sick four-year-old boy.
He is afflicted with spinal meningitis
and suffers intensely. His chances of
recover' are about even. One or two
of the other children have been ill with
serious colds, while Morrison has had
the influenza, and his wife has been
completely worn ont tending the sick
ones and nursing her little babe on-y
a few montlis old. He is a hard-working
man, but has experienced bad
luck. When he aud his family are
well he is abundantly able to support
them. The only reason he has been
out ot work -was because ho was com
pelled to stop when his wife was con
lined. Since then there has been so
much sickness that he has been able
to work but a few days. If the little
l)oy were better now he says he would
be all right for supporting his family.
One man has kindly instructed him
to draw on him for 20 worth of gro
ceries, while another has given him a
cord of wood. Some clothes and food
have also been brought in, but it will
be hard for them to get along unless
the child rapidly recovers. The fam
ily certainly aro deserving of charita
ble action.
SOUXD LOGIC.
Demonstrated by Evident Existing E-ict
A man thoroughly familiar with the
river, its channels, and bars was re
marking yesterday that a wrong idea
ot tho effect of tho jetty was held by
some men who are too free with their
ignorant opinions. Some of these say
that it will throw the channel to
the other side of tho harbor and leave
Astoria without deep water frontage.
This gentleman said: "A study of
tho chart of the river's mouth includ
ing the jetty prove tho contrary.
The jetty will extends from the south
side. Now the the volume ot water at
flood tide comes pouring in to the
north of the jetty and must take a
south-easterly direction past the city
front Such an amount of water when
the tide ebbs followed up by the force
of the current must keep our channel
open. If the jetty were not there the
tides would come rushing in from the
south and along the north shore fill
ing up the south channel and prevent
ing heavy draught vessels from land
ing at our doclcs. There is no danger
of the channel's shifting from Astoria
as- long as the improvements are
maintained and continued at the
mouth. As we are sure that it is to
be permanent, so we can be positive
that we will have depth and anchorage
for the greatest vessels of the sea."

About 7 o'clock hist night Dr. Estej

Where ho went there was none, so off

and struck the rocks lieneath. The

would have escaped comparatively nu

MESrOXDEXCY THE CAUSE.
Conrad Buchter blew his brains
out with a revolver yesterday after
noon while delirious, at his residence
on Main street He had been suffer
ing from an attack of la grippe, or in
fluenza, for tho last ten days and a
day or two ago seemed much better.
Yesterday, however, he gave way to a
fit of despondency, and about 4 P. M,
having undressed and gone to bed, he
drew a 32 caliber revolver from under
his pillow aud placing it to his right
temple fired the fatal shot His son,
Geo. Buchter, a young man 20 years
of age, was in an adjoining room with
a companion. He heard the report
aud rushed in, only to find his father
in the agonies ot death.
Medical aid was summoned, but to
no avail, the nufortunatc man only
surviving the self inflicted wound a
few moments.
During his absence from the house
last Thursday some miscreant stole

There is no clue to he theft
Deceased was a native of Germany,
aged 17 years. His wife, a sister of
Henry Spcllmcier, died several years
ago. For sometime he lived on his
place toward Young's bay, bnt subse
quently moved to this city, where he
kepi a cigar store.
The circumstances of his death
make it unnecessary to hold an inquest
The funeral will be to-morrow.
"What do you think was the reason
of his act?'' asked a reporter, of Dr. T.
A. Fulton, who was the physican sum
moned to the bedside.
"I think," said he, "that it was de
mentia, occasioned by the influenza or
la grippe, from which he was suffer
ing. A short time ago a patient at
the hospital snffering from the same
complaint became delirious, slipped
away in spite of tho night watchman,
and came down town, wandering
around for an hour before being res
cued. It seems as though delirium
was an attendant circumstance in
those cases.
Buchter w:i3 badly crippled, and for
several jears had had considerable
difficulty in moving around.
aionry That Wns Needed.
Six steerage passengers go from As
toria on the (State. One of them re
marked that they had been waiting
weeks to get enough money from what
tho Pacific Construction Co, owed
them, so they could go home to San
Francisco. Said he: "I have a family
consisting of a wire and four chil
dren in Oakland. No mnil has reached
mo from them for five weeks. Then
uearly all the money they had was
gone. I have been unable to send
them any, and am afraid it has been
hard times with them. That's why I
am so anxious to get south. It was
mighty fortunate that those men ad
vanced that money so we could parllj
cash our time checks."
At The Ketcne CIuli.
The Rescue Club held their weekly
meeting last night with a good pro
gramme and crowded house.
Mr. Irwin gave a very creditable
reading, which was followed bya
recitation from Prof. Frank Bewiey.
Miss Birdie Winton sang with good
effect Prof. Pratt then read an in
teresting selection, followed bv a song
from Mrs. J. T. Ross. Mr! C. H.
Stockton read a paper on crimes and
drunkenness. Prof. Francis aud Miss
Katio Flavel were encored iu their
musical part Rev. Mr. Grannis de
livered a practical address. After the
usual announcements the meeting was
adjourned.
Should be Attended To.
Not enough attention is being given
to keeping our streets in condition.
About every day some team breaks
through tho rotten or water soaked
planking. Yesterday afternoon, when
one of the hotel busses was turning on
the connecting roadway from tho U.
P. dock, the horso broke through.
Fortunately the injur' was not seri
ous. There are several bad holes in
other places, bnt they should not be
allowed to go unmended. There may
be an accident that will cost tho city
more than all the improvements for a
year.
A Heal Work of Art.
- Anyone who wants to see some
thing rich and artistic should visit Al
len & Simpson's and see that ceiling.
It is really worth a visit The satin
moulding, the lincrusta Walton, the
gilding and tho corner pieces exceed
in style and finish, and elaborate de
tail anything of tho kind in Astoria.
Allen .fc Simpson are artists in their
line, and any work they do will bo
done to the satisfaction of the most
critical patron.
A New Whittling Buoy.
Captain Richardson of the Jfanzan
ita will take a trip up the coast as
soon as the weather is favorable. He
has a new whistling buoy on board
which he will place on the reef where
the Umatilla was wrecked a few
years ago. The old one is worn and
needs replacing. The chains get
weak. too. so that tho buovs are gen
erally put in new or repaired once a
year.

gers were transported tho entire dis
tance between the Missouri and Co
lumbia. Since the flood is gone at Salem
many comparisons are made with the
high water ot 18G1, and many who
witnessed both freshets estimate that
more water was carried this year than
in the other flood, although by their
measurements the water was not so
high by from 18 to 20 inches. Others
give it as tlieir opinion that the pres:
ent flood lacked only a foot of being
as high as tho former one.
Independence people heard a cry
for help Tuesday night that touched
their hearts. It wr.s the voice of a
man from the middle of the river,
shouting for assistance. No boats
were at hand, and the appeal could
not be answered. Soon the cry grew
fainter and fainter, as the current car
ried him on. It is thought he was
clinging to a log, as an object of that
description was carried by while tho
voice was heard. As nobody has been
recovered, it is probable the man
drifted with his log to shallow water
and escaped to the bank.
