We beg the city cows pardon, for it is the 15th of next month, not this month, as we stated last week, they will have to be kept up. All of the special line of medicines used bv Drs. Smith and Mills are now carried in stock by Sturgeon, the reliable pre scription druggist. * We would suggest to the city recorder that be place a few’ decoys in the lake near his residence, tor he might get the editor interested in cracking a shot at the ducks which might light there this winter.

President Mellen, of the Northern Pa cific Railroad, was in Portland the fore part of the week. Surely it is in order to ask what will be the outcome of the rail- road survey which was made from Pitts burg to Tillamook Citv ? The Sue H. Elmore took out 2000 cases of choice “Columbia river packed salmon.’’ Tillamook has no kick coming, even if the pack of salmon in this county swells the pack put top at Astoria, as long as the big salmon give the Columbia the tail shake and head for Tillamook Bay, as they did this year. building was insured for $650. The stock and fixtures were saved. During the high water on Monday the Annarine went aground on the tide lands. She was looking alter a boom of 1500 logs belonging to the Tillamook Logging Company. On account of such a heavy tide the boom broke. The Maria went to the assistance and succeeded in stretching a boom across the river, which prevented the logs from going out. The next day Captain Cary succeeded in pulling the Annarine off. The State Superintendent has recently rendered the following decision : School boards shall admit free of charge to the schools of their respective districts all persons between the ages of 6 and 21 whose pa refits or guardians reside in such districts at the time of making np- plication for free admittance to such schools, even though such persons may have been at the last enumeration legally enumerated in some other district. At a meeting of the city council Mon day evening, with Mayor J. S. Brod- head and Councilmen Geo. Grayson. F. L. Sappington and Arthur Mason pre sent, it was decided to call a caucus next Monday evening at the court house for the purpose of nominating a ticket for the city election, which takes place on the following Monday, Dec. 1st. A. J. Colin, II. F. Goodspeed and Daye Sex ton were appointed judges and O. Heins and D. Pierce clerks of election. 190a Buy Miller’s all wool Cloth ing and get the best- Haltom sells it. The body of Mrs. Howard Cary, who diet! at Pendleton last week, will be brought to Tillamook for burial, but ow ing to rough weather and the steamers being unable to get out, the remains are detained at Astoria. They will be buried at Beaver on arrival here. A great deal j of sympathy is expressed for Howard in ' the loss of his wife, who was beloved by , all who knew her, and whose death has caused a feeling of deep sorrow in the neighborhood. Most everybody in the city is looking forward for the game of football which j is to be played on Thanksgiving Day be- ! tween the Pippins and the Athletics, and as tlx boys are putting in considerable practice a good game mav be expected for their first adventure groveling in the mud for the possession of the mgskin. Of course each team will have to have a mascot to be up-to-date, but who the young ladies will be we have not learned. The game will b-? in the afternoon, and as foot bail players pay no attention to the elements, we suppose the game will come off, anyway. Another instance of men procuring life insurance and then allowing themselves to drop out for the lack of paying their assessment is furnished in the case ofS. A. Loomis, who was fatally injured last week. For several years he had been a member of tlx A.O.U.W. lodge in this city, but allowed himself to become de linquent, thus deptivitig his family of the benefits which that order affoids The Headlight has repeatedly called attention to the importance of men making some kind of provision lor their wives and families in case of death, and it is on account of so many women and chil dren being left destitute and at a time | when they are least able to earn a liveli- j hood, we again call attention to it. i We hear a great deal about wo- : men’s rights now and again, but right : here they would be exercising their rights if they would see to it that they are pro perly protected incaseof their husband's death, for charity commences at home. As this is of vital importance to ev^ry married woman, especially with a young family, now is the time, not when face to face with distressing and often heart- j rending circumstance, for women to be considering where they are at should the ’ grim reaper visit their homes and carry ! off the bread winner of the family. >1.50 per year The Country Newspaper. her home from a spelling bee.
