Tho chnrges nre from a cent a pound up to 25 cents In about a hundred differ ent places, but I guess we will get through nil right If there Is anyone thinking about coming- up hero, tell him for God's sake to stay away till spring, for I don't believe half of thoso hero will get through.

S nntor John P. Jones, of Nevada, w ho Is sidlng a vacation In this city, said yesterday that the fall In the price of silver ought nt to surprise anyone. "Silver Is falling In the common price." he said, "because of a falling off in the demand for It as money. Japan has pono into a gold basis and so lessened the demand ofr silver.

Announcement That Interests Many Dr. Darrin. the Eminent Specialist, to Visit Astoria Aug. IS to Sept. K While averse to drawing the attention of any of our readers to any advertise, mint which partakes of x medical chir arter, we fiti more than Justified In ever, riding this objection with respect to the annountvment In this Issue of the coming of Dr. Darrin. This far-famed physt.ian (late from Portland), who has uehleved such a gnat reputation throughout the Cxt and Northwest, has b-??n prevailed upon, through tho urgent request of many tn this vicinity to visit Astoria, nj tl cy could not afford by theHr time and business to, consult him at his otlices in Portland. Tho doctor has at last con sented to visit this city to accomodate the atlHoted nnd will have- his offlce-nt the Occident Hotel. Those wishing to consult the doctor will find it to their advantage to consult him while here and during the first part of his stay, as many require more than one treatment by electricity. Ho comes to us laden with tstlmonlils from tho whole Northwest, and the authentic reports of some of his cures seem nothing short of miracles. So many thousands arc already acquainted with his mode of treatment, It ae-jms unneces sary to state that he uses attlo medicine In tho majority of cases, and perfecis h's cures by tho wonderful power of electric. Ity. Thero are few His to which tho human flesh is heir, which cannot ba relieved and generally permanently cured by Dr. Damn's eJoctrlcal treatment, and cases that have resisted the efforts of the or- dir-ary physicians have yielded to his power. These cases embrace almost ev. ery kind of disease, and, as said before, no man, woman or child need .:jspalr of relief and cure while Dr. Darrin of fers his Invaluable service. Unlike other physicians who have be come eminent In their profession, Dr. Darrin does not pretend to cure all. Office hours, 10 a. m. to 8 p. m.

"Another result that will follow from an abundance of money, tie it silver or gold, will be abeyance of this hatred of th trusts.
