Considerable comment is caused in Lane county by a comparison of the delinquent list of 1SS0 as compared with that of 1S90, tho delinquent list turned over by the present sheriff amounting to over 20,000. Somo of the taxpayers wish to know wherefore, and charge that unreasonable len iency has boen shown. Postmaster James "VY. Hare has received official notice from John Wanuamaker, postmaster general, in forming him that tho money order department mnst be kept open from 8 a. m. until G r. m. This order lengthens the labors of this postoffico three honrs aud shortens Portland office two hours each day. J. Q. A. Bowlby and Wiley B. Allen, executors of the estate of tho late Louis Wilson give notice to all per sons having claims against the estate or against the late firm of Wilson & Fisher, to present them at the office of J. Q. A. Bowlby. All persons owing the late firm are notified to make im mediate settlement at the same place. On the Union Pacific dock there is a tread-mill horse-power, which will be used iu driving a fodder-cutting machine that accompanies the power. The concern belongs to C. N. Hess. It is cvidoutly the first of its kind ever brought to this section, and innuy a man puzzled his brain over it usterday trying to study out what the machine was. Yesterday the fine plate glass front was put in tho Astoria National Bank building. The plates were three in number, 60x100 inches, the upper part of the frout being formed of three plates 48x60 inches. The work of the contractors, Messrs. Jacobs & Plnxnmer, will be finished this week and the bank will open for business next Monday, with A. B. Edee as cashier. A very large number of disappointed and disgusted people were present at the dock in Portland on Sunday morning, expecting to come to this city on thoZWej7ioe,but the steamer changed her time that day, and did not come, though a notice was put up outsiuo the office on Saturday evening that she would leave as usual on Sun day morning. Profanity was inwardly entertained, and outwardly expressed at the action of the company in thus failing to properly notify people. Invitations have been received by friends in this city to attend the mar riage ceremonies of Goo. H. Tarboll and Miss Monelte O. Mattingly at tho Presbyterian church in Mount Vernon, Indiana, on Wednesday, September 17th. Gcorgo was held in high es teem by his numerous friends who regretted the loss of a genial com panion when he removed to the Sound, where he has been engaged in tho real estate and insurance business. In his new venture The Astorian joius with Ins many friends in wishing nnn aaa ws purser mo lmiesc meas ure of mortal happiness and success. An alsaood-eyed denizen of tho land of Coafocitts, arrayed in gorgeous at tire yesterday, created quite a sensation Mar the post-office and for a long time feeld an interested party of men, -crowea ad children, many of whom feefcaged to Ut race whose eyes are cut on tho bias. He was "alleo same Melican doctor" for he was selling med icine. Ho had several short iron bars which he would flourish mysteriously, then strike his leg hard until the flesh was all beaten and bruised, and would turn "black and blue," then ho would take his all-healing preparation, rub it on the bruised limb, and as if by magic, tho flesh would resume its natural saffron hue and the swelling would disappear. Of course ho sold plenty of the medicine. The receipts of ths Astoria and South Coast railroad need not be very heavy now to make it a paying con cern, for the train is run with but four men, conductor, baggage master, en gineer and fireman, and not a station agent or brakeman. The baggage master acts as station agent, ticket seller aud freight clerk at each end of the line, in fact he is a veritable Pooh Bah, like the man of many offices in the opera of the Mikado. A consid erable number of passengers are car ried daily, and the road is doing well. A few days ago in the Portland postoffice a watch was found loose in the mail, and the lid of a small box was also found addressed to a young lady in Astoria. Word was sent to Postmaster Hare who instituted in quiry in reference to the matter and discovered that the lost watch be longed to Miss McChesney and yes terday it was restored to her. It had been sent by mail, but not being se curely wrapped tne dox naa broken open and the watch had fallen out In the police court yesterday Judge Jewett had two cases before him, both of men who had been too much under the influence of the ardent. O'Brien was found guilty of drunken ness and sentenced to ten days in the city bastile, aud James Doyle was also found guilty of tho same offenBe and was invited to board at Chief Barry's hotel for twenty days, during which time the couple can ruminate on the loss of their liberty and reflect that it don't pay to get drunk. The committees appointed to Bolicit subscriptions for tho electric railway subsidy wish to finish up their work to-day and would feel thankful to citizens if they will come forward promptly to-day and aid the com mittee in finishing the subsidy. Messrs. Sharpstein and Belding have demonstrated their earnest intentions by placing a forfeit of $500 in the hands of the committee, for the per formance of their promises, as will be seen by a notice published elsewhere. Two more individuals have tired of walking solitary and alone in quiet paths, for yesterday George Copeman and Sophia Mathews concluded that henceforth they would Journey hand in hand during their pilgrimago through this mundane sphere, and from Cupid's representative at tho county clerk's office, they yesterday secured a license matrimonial. THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY FORFEIT. Messrs. Sharpstein and Beldini; Mean ItnsincKS. Astoria, Sept 15, 1890. Beceivod from Messrs. Sharpstein & Belding five hundred dollars upon tho following conditiens: First, should the people of Astoria raiso a subsidy in land (at reasonablo values) and money to the total value of 80,000 for tho construction of an electric and cable railway, payable on completion of said railway to C.

Low primary de partment Miss Sophia Gronnel, teacher; 27 pupils. Big Freight to 'Frisco. The steamship Oregon, Capt E. Polemann, which arrived from Port land yesterday noon, will sail from this port nt 10 a. m. to-day, and carry an unusually large cargo, aggregating about 300 tons. Upon the list are the following items: Forty-five hundred bundles shooks, 2200 cases of salmon, 25,000 feet long lumber, 500 bundles laths, 40 barrels cranberries, 216 sacks of oysters and a quantity of miscel laneous freight It is remarked that considerable salmon is being shipped from Astoria to San Francisco, and this fact seemed to occasion some wonderment in the minds of many. The reason is plain enough. Cah fornians have a tooth for a good thing as well as the balance of the United States, Great Britain, ox any other locality. - Electric Road Notice.

The regular meeting of the Cham- j ber was held last evening, President' Bowlby in the chair. In the absence of the secretary, Samuel Elmore was appointed as secretary pro tern. Bill of Occident hotel for meals and refreshments to visitors from the Port land chamber was read and ordered paid. Capt. Gray proposed for member ship J. H. Johansen, and he was elected. The committee in reference to secur ing contracts from merchants and business" men to give their freight for three years to the first railroad build ing here, made report of progress and asked for further time, which was granted. E. A. Weed, of the special commit tee, to whom was referred the communication from J. W. Stengele in reference to views of Astoria, reported that the committee believed the pur chase of several thousand of those views, and their circulation- would be j of great beneht to Astoria, but offered no recomnendation to the Chamber to purchase them, as no funds are in hand applicable for that purpose. The report was received. Several communications were read. J. W. Welch moyed that 1,000 copies of tho editorial of H. AY. Scott in the Oregoniun of Sept 1st be printed. Capt. Gray amended that the matter be referred to a committee of three to have this and other articles printed together for general circulation. Mo tion as amended prevailed and the chair appointed Capt Gray, A. B. Cyrus and Major Weed as the com mittee. The Chamber of Commerce asks the influence of this chamber to leave ihe present division of railway mail service of the Pacific subdivided and more superintendents appointed. Re ferred to President Bowlby. Smith & Johnson, general railway contractors ask for information in ref erence to amount of freight received and sent here, with a view of assisting in securing construction of a railroad to Astoria. Beferred to president and secretary. A request ot the City Council asking for a committee of three to act in con junction with mayor and city attor ney in preparing a new charter for Astoria, was received. It was moved by E. A. Weed that a committee be appointed by the president, and the motion was carried. An invitation was received from the Portland Chamber of Commerce in viting delegates to aid in forming a Stato Board of Trade. On motion of E. A. Weed it was voted that two del egates be appointed to attend the con vention of delegates in Portland Sept. 27. A communication from Charles H. Dodd, of Portland, was read, urging this Chamber to help the movement demanding a recount for the whole state for the present census. On mo tion of James W.

B. Cyrus, C. W. Fulton and others, after which the chamber adjourned. Shall The Electric Road Be Built? This morning the committee solicit ing a subsidy for the electric-cable road will renew their efforts, hoping to send the prospectus to the council to night. They feel certain that now, being folly apprised of the nature of the improvement to be made, con firmed that tho gentlemen handling tho project mean business, beyond doubt that the proposed line will do all that is claimed for it, that tho Silur ians and the progressive citizens will each take pride in tho enrollment as helpers. Messrs. Sharpstein and Beld ing have placed in the hands of Messrs. Thompson & Bobb, of the committee, S500, to bo paid into the public library fnnd if, on the raising of the subsidy and the granting of tho franchise, they do not comply with the terms of their contracts and build or cause to be built the electrio cable road. There yet remains several thousand dollars to be raised, and now let those who have objected that the projectors did not mean business come to the front and show that they can meet fairness with fairness and enterprise with en terprise. Should the matter not bo settled at an early date, Mr. Sharp stein asserts that he will abandon the matter entirely, and no citizen can well say he is not fully justified in doing so. For Choice Roll or Tub Ilutter, call on Thomtson & Boss. Temporary Removal.

As the evening train on the Bay railway was moving out a snuff-colored, shaggy-haired bird dog with consider able affection in his eye, evidently had a friend aboard whom he wished to see and accordingly rbok after the train lickety-split The animal did first rate for a while, and notwith standing a few somersaults and other acrobatic gyrations, he managed to keep within "wagging" .distance of the train until he struck the trestle, down below the wood yard, where a sort of "hair-owing" scene was wit nessed. Doggy was in the clutches of a fullgrown momentum; and the momentum picked him up and bumped him savagely over the ties, and stood him on his head and then on his tail, and then on his back, nose, sides and ears in such rapid succession that for a few seconds there was noth ing much, to bo distinguished but a streak of snuff-colored wool whirling wildly in tho breeze, until finally the bewildered animal was twirled into the water below. He swam out all right, though, and the crowd who stood on the platform and toted the dog along, yelled with laughter and seemed to imagine that they had played a "doggoned" good joke.

I had been troubled for a long time, and had tried nearly cvcr thing, with little or no effect; but Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla acted almost liko magic, and the first bottle relieved me from one of tho worst cases of sick headache one ever bad.
