DR.. H. D. Schmidt, president Of
the New Orleans Pathological society,
has devoted much time of late to in
vestigating the germs of tuberculosis,
or consumption. Professor Koch, of
Berlin, lately asserted that he had
found these germs to be bacilli, or liv-
ing organisms. DR.. Schmidt finds that
they are fatty crystals, and not organ
isms or real germs. The high place in
his profession occupied by DR. Schmidt
makes these results of the utmost
interest and Importance.

The Mormons have been thirty years
building granite temple at Salt Lake
City, and it will take at least ten years
more to finish the work, in case it is
ever carried into completion, which is
now considered doubtful. There is
difficulty in gathering the taxes levied
upon the believers for this purpose,
and the Gentiles already count on
turning the structure into state house
when Utah is admitted into the Union.

RECENT developments among
the press inventors Of the east
make it appear probable that in
ten years time, or less, the entire
system of newspaper press-work
will be completely revolutionized.
The new system seems destined
to be based on the photographic
process, but with a zinc plate in
stead of stone to work upon. a
clean impression of page of type
taken on a hand d-press with litho-
graphic transfer ink, is transferred
to a zinc plate and the printing
done direct from that. Two such
plates, hooked on to cylinders in
juxtapositiOn print both sides sim
ultaneously and without any "off-
set" or difficulty in adjustment.
The effect will be to reduce the
number of cylinders at work, to
save wear and tear OF type, and to
simplify and accelerate every
operation about a press-room,
Each plate so treated, it is claimed,
viii be good Tor 10000 impressions,
and will be good for repeated use
by the mere washing away of the
transfer ink.

BEER ought to be a good deal
cheaper than it is If the Chicago
Times is correct in the assertion
that hundreds of tons Of tanbark is
being used in its manufacture.
1t learns, in fact, that "tanbark
and soda are the principal sub
stances used. A little rice malt
gives it body and makes it hold
the foam. Hemlock bark is a new
discovery in this respect and is
useful because it takes the place,
TO a certain extent, Of both malt
and hops. 1t is not poisonous,
but it certainly can not be said to
contain any nutriment. 1t adds
the pungent, bitter taste and gives
the dark reddish color to the Ii.
quid. . 1t is very cheap, aud the
brewers who use it must grow rich
very fast.

A STATEMENT emanatinp from

a STATEMENT emanating from
PoOr's Railroad Manual is TO
the effect that two-thirds Of the
fifteen hundred railroad com
panies included in that book
pay no dividends. This is the
class of investment which it
is claimed offers better
prospect of profit for our people
than shipping. Give our shipping
the same freedom from harsh re-
staic;ions that railways have, man
age the property with shrewdness
and energy, and there is no doubt
that investors will find 2 safe and
profitable investment in shipping.

yhe 4ai1g Asturian,
ASTORIA, OREGON:
Railroad RumblIngS.


THERE is not a word from New
York regarding the great bear
movement on the Willard stocks.
The presumption is, however, that
the worst is over, and a rally all
along the line will be started next
week.
The result of the great railroad
conference is reported to be salts
factory to all who participated,
which is fair indication that the
dear public is to be cinched. The
\. +. managers say: "The great
point is that we can come to San
Francisco on the same basis as the
Central and Southern Pacific, while
they have to pay US for water car
riage to and from Portland, which
Is the only Oregon point to which
they are admitted on an equal
basis with the Northern Pacific"
In editorial comment the Bulletin
says the result is regarded as a de-
feat to the Willard interests.
Something better was naturally
expected. There is now only one
course open, and that is for the
Northern Pacific to push its route
through to San Francisco and thus
be in a condition to make its own
through tariff between San Fran.
cisco and New York.
Discussing the meeting, the
Chronicle thinks, "The meeting
can only be considered as a gather
ing of robbers of the people for
the purpose Of amiably discussing
the subject of q division of the
spoils. The result Of the meeting
however, has made one thing quite
clear, and that is that the Northern
Pacific management is as shame
less a violator Of its promises, ex-
pressed and implied, as our own
heartless and corrupt monopoly.
the agreement arrived at by the
roads shows that they are not, in
broader sense, competing lines.
They are rivals, it is true, but
their rivalry is as that of couple
OF robber bands who harmoniouslv
determine TO parcel among them
selves the public highways. The
fixing Of a common cute between
the terminal points emphasizes the
bargain and trumpets TO the peo-
pie the fact that they need have
no hope OF relief from the newly
completed transcontinental line.
there is one small rifle in this
pool-cloud through which a ray of
sunshine may be discerned. a
continuation Of the extortionate
rates now in vogue cannot fail to
make plethoric the treasure chest
of both corporations, and the sight
of their immense earnings will be
sure to tempt rival roads into the
field. Until they make their de-
but, the people of the Pacific coast
must consent TO be gouged by
the amiable robbers who have
just formed this overland pool"

The nse of oil as a preventive
of disasters at sea is becoming
more frequent. In most of the
cases that we have heard of lately
the use has been attended with
success. Ship-masters should bear
this fact in mind, and even if it
does not on the first experiment
realize their expectations they
should not hesitate to give it a
second trial. 1t is th Jugh; that
the use of oil at the scene of the

The Fire Yesterday.

When the few and feeble notes of the
fire alarm sounded family at noon yester-
day, 81 men took hasty positions on
Squemoqua street at its junction with
Main, while 2il more stood on the last
named thoroughfare 10 see the depart
ment get TO work. Others whose noon
day meal WAS interrupted hastened to ad-
iacent roofs, and one man in the eKuber-
ance of an impatient disposition, climbed
a flagstaff and yelled "irem Several 9TH
ers made the same remark, which added
to the manifest interest. A shaky-loOking
chimney in the rear of frame building
on the west side of Main street was the
center Of attraction. Thin wreaths of
smoke were issuing from the yentil3ted
bricks and the general impression WIS
that the red demon was concealed therein.
This impression was intensified by the
further presence of a puff of smoke
from that particular portion Of the roof
where the bricks emerge, as Il We're, from
the surrounding shingles. By this time
Alert II. d Il. No. had arrived and was
busily engaged I'm chOpping away some
of the shingles TO admit of water being
thrown in from the leather buckets that
were filed and handed MP by other mem
bers of the company. Rescue No. 2 laid

No. l stationed their hose cart on Benton
street and utilized the stream from their
engine in giving that portion of the ap-
paratus a bath. BY this time is was de
cided that there was no real danger from
the deyouring element, and the order to
take up being given, the procession
moved. Damages. S7.75: insured.

Council Proceedings.

The common council Of the city of As
tOria held a special meeting last evening
Present, Mayor Hahn, Councilmen Case,
Cooper, Johns, Hume and Trenchard.
Mr.. Case suggested that the council
proceed to the election of a councilman
TO fill the vacancy occurring 10y the re-
moval of Councilman Carruthers from
the First ward.
A communication from the citizens of
the First ward. recommending Nj. j. Kin
ney for councilman. was read. Mr..
Trenchard nominated Mr. NJ. J. Kinney
and he was elected by a unanimous vote.
The following bills were presented and
ordered paid: Mrs. L. Quinn, $500; i.
w. Case, $3.50: Jackins d Parks, $3.50;
A. V. Allen. 500: ThOs. Logan. S75: q.
F. Parker, 800.
The bills Of judges and clerks Of cleo
tion and special police were also ordered
paid.
Bill for drawing map Of the cemetery
for 500, was brought up 10y Councilman
Trenchard, who stated that the contract
for the map was SI5, if the drawer did the
surveying, otherwise S2j. and he could
not understand how the bill should
be 800, when the committee had
made no such bargain, and he
recommended that the bill be
re-referred stO the committee on public
property. Mayor Hahn stated that this
was the proper course, as the council had
no use for Sl5 worth Of map, and it
wouldn't do TO slice OF that amount.
Councilman Johns stated that he had
been over the cemetery grounds, and 4
- IN
present condition and the map would be
unable to recognize ii.
The proposition made by the Columbia
Water Company was next brought up;
there being no communication in writing,
the mayor stated that If the committee
desired 10 confer with Mr.. Thompson or
their agent, there being no proposition
before the council from that company
the council could not consider il.
The matter of the suspension of Thos.
Hunter was next brought up. A commu-
nication from Clark Ioughrey to the
effect that be suspended Mr.. Hunter, as
there was no more work 20 do outside of
what he and the two officers could attend
to, was read.
The mayor stated that the chief Of po-
lice had no power 10 suspend an officer
except for the causes mentioned IN the
charter, neglect of duty. etc. On mo
tion the matter was referred to the COM
mittee on health and police.
The following ordinances were passed:
An ordinance extending the time of the
improvement of Hamilton street until
the Goth day of April, 1884, read third
time under suspension of the rules and
passed.

pieces and a quantity of silver and old
rotten notes. He had kept his discovery
a secret, returning the kettle to the hid

foresight, was hoarding the treasure up
for future use and could not help casting
out vague hints that he knew where be
could get all the money he wanted when
he was a man, hints to which no impor-
