IN HONOR OF MISS WILLARD.
The following resolutions were unani
mously adopted at the meeting of the W.
C. T. U.:
Whereas, In the death of Miss Francis
Wlllard. the world's president of the W.
C. T. U. we reallxe that we have lost a
noble leader in a grand and glorious
cause, we are again reminded how use
less are earthly plans, and how true It
Is that "In such an hour as we think not"
the angel of death appears.
While her work In the cause of tem
perance, for "God and Home and Native
Land" has ever been characterised by
great self-sacrifice which It would wem
cculd not be greater than she had shown
In the past, yet she had taken upon her
self this year the extra work of raising
a portion of the COO.ono which Is neces
sary to redeem the capital stock of the
Woman's Temple, which, when paid, will
give one-half of the princely Income of
the temple to the national society.
While her patriotic devotion and self
sacrifice In the temperance cause will go
down to nations yet unborn, a legacy
that will )e more highly appreciated by
future generations, we, now. can appre
ciate the character of one who "drops In
the harness," giving such willing, un
selfish service for the uplifting of hu
manity. And while we mourn the loss of such a
leader, we humbly bow to the Divine
will of Him who, we know, will receive
her with. "Well done good and faith
ful servant."
Therefore to evince the respect due our
departed sister:
Resolved, That the picture of MIkh Fran
cis E. Wlllard now In the parlor of the
local union of Astoria be draped In mourn
ing for the period of thirty days, also that
at the memorial service which is to lie
held in her honor each member wear her
white ribbon badge, and that the members
meet In a body and proceed to the place
of holding such service.
THE 0. R. & N.
Will It B'J Absorbed by the Union Pacific
System?
Much Interest has been excited by the
rumors current that the O. R. & N. Is
about to be absorbed by the re-organlzed
Union Pacific. TheBe reports doubtless
originated In the fuct that In the devel
opment of the Vandcrbllt scheme of ac
quiring a single line of railroad from the
Atlantic to the Pacific Northwest, they
have amalgamated Into their system the
Oregon Short Line, which In turn con
trols a majority of the stock of the O. R
N. Beyond any question Ihe I nloii
i acme will operate the Hhort Line, but
It docs not moan that the acquired Inter
est In tha O. R, A N. will bo used by the
anderbllta to the exclusive benefit of
the V nlon Purine. On the contrary It
does not require much argument to show
tne reverse to tie true.
Before the Vanderbllta purchased the
i nion racino they already had their plans
ni.i ior the operation of the O. It A N
as an Independent outlet down the Co-
lumiiia ior all the transcontinental road
now In their family. They have equal
Interest In Northern IMcInc and Great
Northern, and In the comprehensive plan
ot giving competition In bulnes without
demoralisation to the nut da or the terri
tory served by them It I not likely at
thla ta, that they will discriminate as
between any one line. Before the public
was aware of the great changes about
i m- nimie air. a, I Mohlor, a manager
oi rare ability, was sent out from the
New York office to carry out Its U It &
N. policy. Hia success In the manage
ment of that property has been phenom
enal, and It can be safely m that he
will continue to operate It as mi Inde
pendent terminal line to serve nil Its
connection alike. The different gate,
ways will he kept open and the wise
policy Inaugurated of fostering the
growth of Oregon and Washington will
be continued. The Colon IMcltlc mav
own Ihe tX R. A N.. but the C. IV has
been -absorbed" by William K. Vander.
bill and It Is his policy to utilise nil his
property to the bcnciu of the whole. As
toria will soon be connected t.y rail with
thla great system, and the already In
creasing traffic at this port will soon ho
quadrupled.
JAMES H. HOKXBAKER.
The remains of the late James n. Horn
baker, who recently died In Sk igway. were

his old home In Bonepurt. la. Vhese few
words recall one life's history a history
of Joy. of push, of business enterprise, of
success, of friendship, of fellowship, of
sickness and of death. What a feeling
theiv must have been when years ago
he left his home as a vnuth willing to
battle with life, and willing to risk It In
tne tar west, where many have made j
success, fortune and fame. He si.rt...
out bruvely. willing to endure the hard
ships and disappointments which life
unngs. lie arrived here; made his debut;
success crowned his efforts; he began to
dawn and victory. He soon inude
friends lasting; friends, and this ability
to m tke friends, together with his un
tiring efforta to faithfully serve his em
ployers, nnd his iin.lul.lcl attention to

Alaska. What a chance, what an oppor
tunity for suio-ss. and success he made
It. But fate decreed that In the midst of
his active work. In the very dawn of his
life, he should be cut down by the scythe
of Father Time. Cruel a this upiieurs to
human eyes, doubtless to un all-
wise Providence his taking
away 1
was r,.r the best. A young man
of twenty-three years, of exemplary
habits, without an enemy In the world,
with bright prospects, has gone to the
shores beyond the dark river. His friends
who would comfort If they could the
mother In a far-away state, only can wish
ieace to his soul.

Common soda Is all right In Its place
and Indispensable In the kitchen and for
rooking and washing purposes, but It j
was never Intended for a medicine, and i
people who use It as inch will soma day 1
regret It.
W refer to the common use of soda
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a
habit which thousand of people practice
almost dally, and one which I fraught
with danger; moreover the soda only
gives temporary relief and In the end the
stomat h trouble gets worse and worse.
, The soda, acts a a mechanical Irritant
to the walls of the stomach and bowel
and cases sre on record where It at cu
mulated In the Intestine, causing death
by Inflammation or peritonitis.
Ir, Harlandson recommends as ths
safest and surest cure for sour stomach
(acid dyspepswo an excellent preparation
. sold by druggists under the name of
Stuart's Iyspepsla Tablets. These tab
lets are large 30 grain loiengra, very
pleasant to taste and contain the natural
acids, peptones and digestive elements
rssentlal to good digestion, and when
taken after meals they digest the food
perfectly and promptly before It has time
to ferment, sour and poison tho blood and
nervous system.
Dr. Wuerth slates that he Invariably
uses Stuart's Dyscppsla Tablets In all
rases of stomach derangements and
find them a certain cur. not only for
sour stomach, but by promptly digesting
the food they create a healthy appetite.
I Increase flesh and strengthen the action
, of th heart and liver. They ar not a
cathartic, but Intended only for stomach
j diseases and weakness and will be found
, reliable In any stomach trouble except
enncer of th. stomach. Alt druggist sell
1 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at U cents per
