Cudahy's Rex Beef Extract will be served at Rorers' drug store for one week free. Fifty cent bottle makes fifty .cup, one cent per cup. A horse which waa taken down to Sand Island a few days ago by Tom Qulnn, has mysteriously disippoareJ. A member of lii fishermen's union states that the horse was thrown over board into eight feet of w?.ter, nnd made the island without difficulty. He was then allowed to roura around, so The first act of lawlessness since the Inauguration of the fishermen's strike was perpetrated yesterday by the forci ble seizure, and destruction of salmon, tho property of fishermen who had gone out with their boats the pluvious night. Although every possible effort was made by an Astorian reporter to find the men whose property had been destroyed, none- of them could be found, and It could not be learned definitely how many fish had teen de stroyed, or to what extent the lawless act had been carried. The first case was reported to have taken place In the river abreast of the bonded warehouse dock, and Mr. Rablert Carruthers stat ed to the leporter that a number of men had rowed out from the dock and com pelled a couple of fishermen who had been out for a day and a half to throw overboard about twelve w thirteen fish. Another case was said to have occurred near the Telephone dock, while rumor had It that similar out rages had- occurred at other points on the river. The only evldemce obtainable from an cye-wltnees was that of Mr. Caurruthers, but It was generally con ceded that the case was much more se rlous than appeared from his statement At me rooms or tne union it was admitted that about fifty fish had been thus destroyed, while around town the estimates ranged from 12 to 1,000, In son.e of the caseB, It was said that forcible seizure had been made, whll In others the fishermen were yersuaded wneuier Dy mreaia or not no one could say, to throw their catch Into the water. Secretary Jensen, in speaking of the affair, said: "We wish to state that as a body we heartily disapprove o'f such deeds, but the union as such Is power less to control the actions of all Its members. Some will get excited in spite of all we can do to the contrary.' It was stated by another member of the union that one of those who lost their fish, claimed that members of the union had nothing to with the affair, On being asked what the prospects were for a settlement of the strike, Secretary Jensen said: "On, our side absolutely none, If a settlement means concession. We will hold out till, next season if necessary, and are satisfied We certainly can hold out as long as the canners." The fisnermen, as a rule, now deny that salmon are plentiful, and say that the few who have made big catches were out two days. "No fish can be had up the river," they say, "and what have been caught are pink in color and of a very Inferior quality for canning.' A row which narrowly escaped end lng In the death of one of the part.'ci pants took place late Wednesday right near the North Shore Packing Com- pan'g establishment. It appears that Gus Mellnske and another fiisherman, commonly known as "Eig Harry," got Into an altercation and Mellnske re sorted to the use of the knife. The weapon was inserted between "Big Harry's" lips and a fearful gaBh cut from the corner of tne mouth to th'. chin. Mellnske then used tho knife on the other side of his victim's mouth, and cutting him to the chin on this side also, endeavored to strip his low er jaw and chin clear of flesh. "Big Harry," Infuriated at the sight of the blood, seized a piece ot stovewood and belabored the knife-wlelder over the shoulders and head,, Inflicting serious, but not fatal wounds. There were a number of other fishermen present, and they, seeing the condition of "Big Harry's" face, proceeded to wreak ven geance on Mellnske s head. Taking him to the water's edge, tl.ey were about to throw him overboard, when the opportune arrival of Mr. Webber Baved them from the commission of that would have been legally a murder, but a justifiable homicide by those who saw the dreadful effects of Meilnske's knife. ' The True State of Salmon Canning. FROM MRS. II. W. BEECH ER. . : "40 Orange Street, Brooklyn, N. Y.( Feb. 11,-1890. "I have used Allcock's plasters for some years for myself and family, and as far as able, for the many sufferers who come to us for assistance, and have found them a genuine relief for most o'f the aches and pains which (lesh is heir to. I have used Allcock's Plasters for all kinds of lameness and acute pain, and, by frequent experi ments, find that they can control many cases not noticed In your circulars. The above is the only testimonial I have ever given in favor of any plaster, and if my name has been used to re commend any other It Is without my authority or sanction." MRS. HENRY WARD BEECHER. WORLD'S FAIR TRAVELERS WILL HAVE IT. The public demand throug service when traveling. It is old fashioned to change cars." On the through, solid estibuled trains of the Chicago, Union Pacific Northwestern line from or Chicago, Omaha and intermediate points there is no change. This Is the finest and fastest service between the points named. Notice is hereby given that on April 14th, 1893, I will commence to make actual levy upon the real property on wnich school taxes are delinquent for District No. 9. situate in Adair's Asto ria. Any delinquent taxpayer wishing to save enormous costs, must pay prior to that date. H. A. SMITH, Sheriff. Astoria, April 11, 189X EFF'S, a Oilj Restarat In the history of the salmon canning Industry, the prospects have never been so gloomy as at present. Several causes have combined to bring about the ex isting state of affairs. The first may be said to have tjeen the unprecedented storms of the past six or seven weeks, which have rendered the driving of traps, except in a few instances, impos sible. Next came the trouole between the canners and gill-net men over the price of fish, and the present deadlock. without any apparent hope of conces sion on either side; and lastly, may be considered the scarcity of fish, the run of the first day having teen exhausted and few salmon being obtainable in either the lower or upper portions of of the river. Yesterday's Oregonlan contains the following statement under date of As torla, April 12th: "The run of salmon continues good, and all the canneries are putting up fish, but In not very large quantities at present. The fisher men's union has called off tho fisher men until satisfactory arrangements are made with the canners, by which they expect to get $1.15 per fish." When -he Oregonlan arrived in this city yesterday, an Astorian reporter caw some of the cannerymen with a view to learning definitely the quantity of fish packed by each. The first gen tleman called upon was J. G. Megler, of Brookfleld, who happened to be in the city. "As far as I am concerned, there Is no truth in the statement," said he. "I have not, so far, put up a single case, and as for fish being plenti ful, canners and fishermen alike say there are few fish to be caught." Mr. N. Webber, of the North Shore Packing Company, stated that he had put up something less than 100 ca&ee to date, while Mr. Weatherbee, of the Eureka Packing Company, at Eagle Cliff, had packed but 90 cases. Messrs. George & Barker have packed but twenty-seven cases, out of which there were only ten cases of first-class goods, the balance being pink fish, and coming under the head of second-class goods. It Is stated that two fishermen brought thirteen fish to this cannery yesterday, and offeied the lot for sale. After looking at them Mr. Barker said there was only one first-class salmon among the thirteen, and when the fish weie dressed twelve of thorn were found to be pink in cpjor. At Elmore's cannery between thirty five and forty cases have been packed since the opening of the season, and McGowan Bros., have not put up any. In 'fact the North Shore's pack of 100 cases is much in excess of that of any other cannery with the single exception of the Euieka Packing Company. As for the five canneries outside the com bination, It could not be ascertained what they had done, but taking the Joint statements of canners and union firhermen alike as a basis of an estl mate, the average pack of fish, three fourths of which ore conceded to be second-class goods, will not foot up for the season more than sixty cases per cannery for those that have begun op erations. There is no u&e denying the fact that matters are gloomy in the extreme. Summed up briefly, the situ atlon is simply this: As a result of the stormy spring, the inferior size, quality and quantity of fish, the present alarm ing proportions of the fishermen's strike and the small number of traps driven, the salmon pack of 1893 is not likely to exceed half that of last year.
