Qulnn's Landing, died on Friday at the

An ex-shirt maker "to order" reached
town yesterday. He has started out in
the real estate business and carries with
him a plan of lots "running parallel with
the Oobel road." The rash man has not
yet been killed but he had better go back
to his shirts while there Is yet time. The
manufacture of linen underwear Is not
a very Intellectual Job, but neither Is It
surrounded by a constant dread of scalp
ing or some worse fate.

The Cumberland Presbyterian minister
from Lewis county, who left here yester
day for the wilds of that locality, Is
either a fool or the other end of the quo

patent flatlrons, and coat hooks, delivered
a lecture on the "Divine right of mar
riage," and proposed to four widows,
besides writing sonnets to about twenty
more. He ought to be placed under re
straint. .
An officer of the local police force had
a queer experience one night last week.
WnlWIne along Fifth street at muiiuKiu,
ha noticed the side window of a private
r.wence wide open. Walking up to It he
put his head in and found his Hps within
an Inch of those of a corpse lying in an
n roffln. Dazed by tne snoe ne iov
tM hack on the sidewalk, and as soon
, had recovered himself, went to the
front door. One of the watchers answered
hi. knock and assured mm mai every
thing was all right. The window hdd been
left open Intentionally.

extent his crime. He stated after the cer

A Vancouver paper gives the following
account of the experiences of two man
on a scow on the Columbia: "For sev
eral days previous to the break In the ice
gorge at Ryan's point, a scow was ob
served to be far out in the Ice, a prisoner.
People were seen upon it moving about
for several days, but knowledge of the
ownership or occupancy beyond this
seemed to be hard to obtain until Satur
day. Two brothers named Butler, who
had lived at Cape Horn, had the scow and
they lived on it. It was caught in the ice
pack one night and steadily moved down
the river with it. They had food and
fuel, and Jcept very comfortable throuKh,

The deserted scow broke loose and passed
down the river Sunday afternoon, when
the first break In the gorge occurred."

The patriotism of the teachers and
scholars of Alderbrook school Is worthy
of remark. A holiday is dear to the heart
of the average scholar and seldom allowed
to escape, but when the celebration of
Washington's birthday was mentioned in
the school the vote for it was unanimous.
The rooms were handsomly decorated,
crowded with visitors, and the exercises
very successful. Nearly every child of
the sixty pupils had some event In the
life of Washington to chronicle. The con
dition of the school reflects great credit
on Mr. and Mrs. Williams, the teichcrs,
and matters In this respect are very sat
isfactory to the parents In the neighbor
hood.

Last night three enterprising Celestials
In the little native restaurant opposite
Liberty Hall began to light firecrackers.
One package of the explosives flew In off
the sidewalk and landed In the middle of
large basket of bombs and "powder
Jumpers." In a few seconds matters got
very Interesting and every Chinaman In
the store was outside In less time than
it takes to tell it. The bombs, fairly Ig
nited, started In on business and soon
filled the place with smoke and flames.
The fire bells were rung and the engines
quickly responded, but the damage was
quickly checked by the application of a
few buckets of water. A few feet away
behind the counter were bombs enough to
have blown up the building had the flames
reached them.
Utzlnerer's Band will give a free concert

Astoria papers kicked Mr. Laidlaw last
week, says the Skamokawa Eagle, be
cause he said "vessels were constantly
getting aground there," in reference to
the Astoria harbor. Now Astoria has an
excellent harbor, and a few of her citi
zens are really aware of the fact, but
there are another lot of her citizens
who are not, and It Is this class who
have been waiting for Portland capitalists
to build a railroad down the river and
thrust business and greatness upon them
for the last forty years, Portland keeps
on her way, tows her great ships past
Astoria. If they are loaded too deep to
go up the river, ngniens men in a-
toria's harbor, and snakes them along.
If the Columbia or Willamette offers ob
structions, Portland secures government
aid and removes them. Portland Is now
biding for a million dollar public build
ing, and will eventually get 11., Portland
governs the Columbia river. Blennally
she goes through the furce of holding a
"Joint convention" with her powerful? sis

lumbia for two years more. AH the roads
lead to Portland. All the steamers and

Portland will not build to Astoria, and
If we ever get a road built down the
Washington shore, mark the prediction,
Portland will control that road. True,
Astoria has a harbor now, nature looked
out for that matter, but Portland will All
it with sand before she gets a railroad If
she don' watch out."

The State Press
on Fulton.
The following selected comments of
Senator Fulton were taken from state
papers, three fourths of which) are loud
in their praises of Astoria's senator and
his actions while at Salem. Very few
people wlM care to deny that such spon
taneous and unstinted commendation
speaks well for a man accused by his
political enemies of being; everything in I
the calendar that he shouldn't be. No
president of the Oregon senate has ever
received such universal expressions of
good will and esteem as Mr. Fulton. And
all.
(Oregon City Enterprise.)
President C. W. Fulton made an excel
lent record as president of the senate.
From the time of his election to the clos
ing hour of the session, he, as the ad
ministrative officer of the senate, per
formed his duties in a courteous, able and
satisfactory manner. Mr. Fulton 1b one
of the brightest men In the state, and Is
entitled to praise for his able conduct of
the trust erposed in him at the beginning
cf the session.
(Hlllsboro Independent.)
In the case in question President Fulton
ruled In obedience to the decision of the
court. Some democratic papers are at
tempting to hold him up to odium by
charging him with copyinff the rules of
Speaker Tom Reed, of the United States
house of representatives, forgetting that
their political friends first copied the
democrats of congress. President Fulton
didn't have to copy any one he had sim
ply to obey the law. But behind this
there Is an objection to the bill which
hurts because the amended law compels
the prnting of the ballot as was first in
tended. A candidate's name can appear
but once, and that under the party whose
nomination he first accepts. There is to
be no more double printing as there was
last year In the case of Nathan Pierce.
Who are the men opposed to an honest
election? The tricksters unmasked them-
eHvesln their opposition ito 'the Mil.
Some had objections to the bill because
the candidates of each party are to be
printed In separate columns. This pro
vision is a copy from the Illinois law
which was pronounced perfect there when
the democrats elected their ticket at the
Inst election. Tha republicans for once
took the democrats at their word and
adopted a law pronounced so satisfactory.
Yet they are not content. The moepena-
ent believes the fairness of the ballot
is the very reason why It is so bitterly
denounced by democrats, and why Pres
ident Fulton Is so Intensely hated be
cause he spoiled their opportunity for en
gaging in election frauds.
(Albany Herald.)
It was simply a case wherein the minor
ity thought Itself the majority and tried
to dictate legislation, first, by filibus
tering, and subsequently by refusing to
vote, notwithstanding they were sent
there to vote, and under the rules were
commanded to vote, the word "shall" be
mandatory and not discretionary.
President Fulton deserves praise for
his straightforward, courteous and un
swerving enforcement of the rules of the
senate, and no partisan ought to be found
so prejudiced to refuse him credit for
doing right. No one Is to blame for the
Incident except the democratic members
themselves, who being a minority, yet
wished to exercise the functions of the
majority and control legislation.
