A review of the field of battle, after the
smoke has cleared away, reveals the fact
that Astoria has fared about as well as
any city In Oregon at the hands of the
legislature.
Court street school is not forgetting
patriotism from Its list of work done.
A special Washington-Lincoln program Is

Word came to Salem on Saturday that
Daniel Durbln, at his home on Howell
prairie, had drank a cup of carbolic acid,
supposing It was. water. He was thrown
into Intense agony and expired before
medical assistance reached htm. He was
an old resident, about sixty years of age.
It Is believed that Ed Hallock, for sev
eral years head net rack man for A.
Boooth & Co., has been appointed captain
of police. The new officer will doubtless
Mil the position with credit to himself and
the city. He Is one of the most trustwor
thy and honorable young men In the com
munity, and. has hosts of friends to wish
him success.
The following officers of Astoria Divis
ion No. 1, Uniform Rank, Knights of

The Ice which has been floating down
the river since yesterday, say's The Dalles
Chronicle, all stops at Crate'B point, and
Is jiow plied up there as high as the Uma
tilla house. The river there makes a
sharp turn, and as It Is frozen solid from
there to the tunnel, tho Ice Is hindered
from going farther. .It makes a very
beautiful sight. Ice ls;,stUI . floating by
the point In huge mftBsej.- j- .
Here Is something from the Hlllsboro
Independent. The local authorities might
act like Captain Cuttle, and "when found, j
make a note of."
"The school authorities In the Hlllsboro
district require a clean bill of health fcom
families having been afflicted with a con
tagious disease .before the children will
be readmltted.to school. While this seem
ingly appears1-to be a hardship, yet tak
ing the whole community Into account it
Is a wise regulation."
The heavy fall of snow about Nehalem
played sad havoc with barns and other
coverings in this valley. At least a dozen
buildings have collapsed within the past
week In' thld neighborhood. The vast
quantity of snow which fell was sufficient
to crush ordinary buildings while It was
dry, and since It has begun to pack and
receive the occasional rains which have
fallen when the temperature is high
enough, it has become very dangerous.
Pendleton business men are preparing
M 1 . .1
for the organization or an asauirnmuu w
ho Irnnnrn fln the commercial - club. Its
object Is to promote a better acquaintance
and harmony of purpose on an quraui
f nnhiir interest. One of the principal
subjects for consideration will be that of
securing more favorable rreigni rates
from the railroads. Since Spokane's vic
tory in securing a general reduction In
freight rates, the business men of Pendle
ton believe they can accomplish some
thing In the same direction.
Bids for furnishing 100,000 tons of rock
on board of government barges for the
Jetty at the mouth of the Columbia river
have been submitted as follows: Max
well & Huber, Spokane, 63 cents per
ton; Daniel Kern, Portland, 65 cents; Per
ry Hlnkle, 58 cents; W. Jacobsen, 65 cents
per ton. Fifteen bids in all were received,
those for the storehouse ranging from
tl.796.by Paquet & Smith, to $3,300,. and
those for the wharf ranging from $11,900
down to $9,925, by Fastabend & Sanderson,
of Astoria. The two lowest bids were re
commended for acceptance.
The men employed at Bays ft Jeftery's
quarry on the Barnes road near Portland,
some time ago, noticed the heads of two
Angora goats protruding from a snow
bank on the side of a hill about 200 feet
above the road. The poor creatures were
nearly Starved, having been completely
buried until the snow melted off suffi
ciently to expose their heads. The quarry
men shoveled out a path to them and
dug them out, and Mr. Bates took them
home and put them in his stable. It Is
evident that they have an owner some
where, and he U requested to come to
the front and get his property.
Harrison Hale was arrested and brought
before Justice Hallock Tuesday at Pendle
ton charged with assault with Intent to
kill. A week ago last $aturday Hale had
a row with Chaa. Matteson at the bitter's
place on Itheai creek.- Both were tinder
the Influence of liquor, and In the melee.
says the Heppner Record, Hale drew a
knife, striking Matteson with It several
times and inflicting three wounds over the
right shoulder blade. The wounds were
not of a very serious nature, however.
and after hearing some evidence, pro and
con, Justice Hallock considered It about
an equal thing on both sides and dis
missed the case.
The festive burglar has not yet ceased
from "burgling" In Tortland, A day or
two Blnce he took advantage of the ab
sence of the family of Thomas McCarthy
to enter the residence on Davis Btreet,
and carry off Mr. Davis' best suit, a lot
of Jewelry, etc. The adjoining house Is
vacant, and the burglar probably laid In
wait there for tho opportunity he found,
as In one of the rooms Mr. McCarthy
discovered some evidences of a man hav
ing tarried there. Mrs. McCarthy no
ticed a man prowling cbout the place
the day of the robbery, which took place
between 5 and t p. m., while she had
gone out on an errand.
A woman's foot was found on Thursday
by George Bump, county assessor of Is
land county, while duck hunting on Use
less bay, .near Seattle. Mr. Bump and
seVeral companions were walking along
the beach whenthey made the discovery.
The foot had apparently been torn from
the leg, Just above the ankle, as Indicated
by threads of flesh hanging to it. On the
foot was a lady's No. 3 shoe, and when
this was cut and removed only the skin
came with it, showing the flesh in a good
state of preservation. Diligent search
was made for other remains, but without
success. It Is not known that anyone has
been lost In that vicinity.
One of the $2 currency notes changed
to a $10 note by Parker, In Portland, who
was recently, sent to the penitentiary,
was passed on the conductor of a City
Suburban cor a few days ago. It Is prob
able that there are quite a number of
them In circulation, and people handling
money should look out for them. While
a person unaccustomed to handling notes
might be deceived by one of these, al
most any one would notice the change
at a glance. The number 10 pasted on
over the 2 should attract any one's atten
tion, as It Is of a sickly greenish-gray
color and quite different from the color
on any bank bill. A person who gets
fooled on one of these changed bills will
never take another.
The Salem Capital Journal remarks that
"It was a corrupt legislature In this re
spect: That nearly half a million dollars
of appropriations were looted out of the
public treasury before the legislature ever
met. Deals were made by which an asy
lum was given to one part of the state,
a normal school to another, a Jute mfll
to another, etc., etc., and . these deals
bound men to vote by whole sections,
by groups and counties. Tew men were
left free from the clutch of boodle in
either body to vote upon measures of
general Interest upon their merits. The
Willamette and Columbia rivers were left
In the grasp of transportation monopolies
while members fell under the fatal sway
of appropriation boodle.
The port of Astoria has not yet been
troubled with the conflicts now raging so
bitterly on Puget Sound and In San Fran
cifoco between union and non-union sail
ors, but the result of such fights was
shown vividly on Saturday night when
the schooner D. B. Leeks arrived In from
California. She had o non-union or "scab"
crew on board, and half of them wore
thoroughly green hands, two never hav
ing been to sea before. One of the latter,
a young fellow 22 years old, C. O. Clark,
became heartily sick of his venture the
day after leaving Son Francisco. ' On
reaching the mouth of the river, the
schooner tacked about for eleven days.
On the sixth day Clark could stand the
strain no longer, and threw himself over
board. He was never seen again. .
- The trouble from washouts at bridges
near Hay station, on the Spokane branch
of the Union Pacific, will, It is reported,
continue for a day or two longer. A
few bents In bridges Nos. 14 and 16 have
been washed away. Five carloads of ties
were ent up Friday from Pendleton, and
a pile driver and piling were , dispatched
to the scene from Bridal Veil, via Uma
tilla to repair the damage. A train ar
rived In Pendleton on the branch, at 1:40
o'clock Saturday with with passengers
who left Spokane last Thursday and were
delayed by the damaged bridges. They
were transferred by team and wagon
around the obstruction a distance of half
a mile or more. This train was brought
In by Conductor Frank Wills. Transfers
will be made each way until the bridge
is repaired, and trains will run regularly.
Everything Is clear on the main line of
the road.
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Shearer, says the
Dalles Chronicle, are visiting relatives
and old home friends In Nlcholvllle, New
York. His consignment of wool has now
arrived In New York. Mr. Shearar shipped
from The Dalles 275 tons of wool via the
Columbia river to Astoria by the Regula
tor line, where It was placed on the ship
Tlllie E. Starbuck, which sailed from As
toria October 19. 1892, going via Cape
Horn to New York, where It arrived safe
ly January 31, 1833, In care of Denny, Rice
&Co. It is to be transferred to New
York and takes three ships of the Metro
politan line to take It to Boston. This in
the first year Mr. Shearar ever sent his
wool to Boston by the water route. The
distance is 14,800 miles; time, three
months; rate paid per ton, $28. He has
formerly sent his wool to Boston by the
Union Fraetflo railway. Dlt'.ancf, ,362
miles; time, one month; price paid per
ton. $62. The wool la insured for $75,000.
After It Is sold they will return to their
Oregon home.
Complaint was made by a gentleman a
day or two since that a bank In Portland
had paid him half the yalue of a check
In silver. He did not want so much white
metal and remonstrated, but .he was told
that It he wished gold he must pay a

question had come to a head right tn
Portland, and was much dissatisfied.- On
inquiry It was found that there la no su
perfluity of silver here In fact there Is
hardly enough and, the bonks are some
times obliged to go out and hunt up ell
ver. At on of the principal banks It was
stated that out of $000,000 on hand there
was not $500 In sliver, counting In all the
dimes and nickels, and other bankers
said they had no more silver than was
necessary, and never offered It In any
great amount-unless It was asked for.
The particular band above mentioned
may have been overstocked with silver,
but if so, it is probably, the only one tn
the city so glutted.
Mrs. Charles Norton died near Yaqulna
ten days ago under very suspicious cir
cumstances, says the Corvallls Times.
Her husband Is a brakeman on tha Union
Pacific railroad with headquarters at
Walla Walla. Two weeks before the
death of his wife he went to Yaqulna to
attend the bedside of a sick child. Up to
the day she died Mrs. Norton was In her
usual health. Sometime in the forenoon
she became suddenly 111 and In a few
hours waa cold In death, having; died In
convulsions. Her husband was alone In
tne room witn ner ana tne nrsc informa
tion the other persons In tha building
were afforded concerning her condition
was the announcement of her death.
When they went to dress her for the
grave a newly born six months' babe
was found In the bed. A physician well
Informed In the symptoms attending Mrs.
Norton's death, states that they were
the same Invariably manifested In arsenic
poisoning. NofTon's real name la Mason-
field, and his reasons for sailing under
an alias are unknown. Sufficient sus
picion attaches to the affair that Deputy
Sheriff Martin came out last Thursday,
and Is said to have returned with In
structions to exhume the body and cause
an examination of the contents of the
stomach.
The "Y"s" have snent a rood manv do!

THE PILOT BILL
Despite the opposition of
the U. P., Campbell's Pilot
Bill has passed, and once
more Our pilots will be en
abled to make a decent living.
Prosperity for one class it to the
benefit of all; there's no gain in
Bending money oat ot town, or by
patronizing concerns who bring
tbeir-cld trash here and take our
good money away from tie.
If you believe in building
up your town, trade with
your home merchants, who
stand by you in hard, time
as well as when times are
good. 7
You cannot possibly do better
than by trading with the Reliable
(Jlothier, Herman Wise) because
his stock is first-class and bis
prices are Tery reasonable. .

The World's Pair Directors
Have 5,000,000 Souvenir Half Dollar Coins in their treasury, the
gift of the American people by Act of Congress. The patriotic and
historic features of -these Coins and their limited number, compared
with the millions who want them our population is 66,000,000
have combined to create so great a demand for these World's Fair
Souvenir Coins that they aw already quoted at large premiums.
. Liberal offers from speculators, who wish to absorb them and reap
enormous profits, have been rejected for the reason that
This is the People's Fair
We Are the People's Servants--
and a divided sense of 'duty confronts us
We need $5,000,000 to fully carry out our announced
plans, and
We have decided to deal direct with the
people To whom we are directly responsi
ble among whom an equitable distribution
of these National heirlooms should be made.
The World's Fair Offer to the American- People:
That none of our plans for the people's profit be curtailed we
must realize from the sale of 5,000,000 Souvenir World's Fair Fifty
cent Silver Coins the sum of $5,000,000. This means $1.00 for each
Coin, a much smaller sum than the people would have to pay for
them if purchased through an indirect medium. Every patriotic man,
woman and child should endaavor to own and cherish one of these
, Coins, as they will be valuable in future years a cherished object of
family pride.
Remember that only 5,000,000 Coins must be divided among
uu,uuu,uuu ueopie. 1 nese ioins
. could be sold at a high premium
to.Syndicates, but we have enough
confidence in the people to keep the
price at a Dollar for each Coin, as
this will make us realize $5,000,000
the sum needed to open the Fair's
gates on the people's broad plan.
