MORE SHORT STOPS.

CONTINUING yesterdays remarks
anent people who go around talking
''hard times" it is further to be said
that the habit is only habit. A good
many people in this little world of
ours are afraid of competition. They
pretend poverty and talk dejectedly
when, ofttimes, the fact of the matter
is that they are trying to- scare some
one away, particularly if they think
he is likely to embark in the same
business that they are carrying on.
They've been saying the same thing
so long that they believe it them
selves if nobody else does, just as any
one will who has been telling the
same story, true or false, for twenty
years.
The injury that these croakers do is
in this way. They impregnate strang-
ers and visitors with a certain or un-
certain amount of distrust. People
who know them don't mind them, but
to the visitor their fears and weak
nesses and abject expressions are no
ticeable and injurious to US as a COM
munity.
Every Astorian should, wherever he
is, talk for the town: have a good word
for it on all occasions: meet with a
smile and a word of encouragement
the man who comes to cast his for
tunes with us; and aid him. In aiding
others we aid ourselves. No man can
accumulate wealth without his neigh
bors sharing in the prosperity, and
purely as a matter of selfish policy il
is better to build up than to try to
pull down.
The way to make hard times" is
to talk "hard times" The man who
talks "hard times" thinks "hard
times" and would be a poor creature
if he had an income of a thousand dol
lars a day. 1t isn't the amount oi
ready money or property a man has
that makes him rich.
A man with a clear conscience, &
good digestion, faithful friend, and
SIS in his pocket, is richer, far richer
than poor man with a hundred
thousand dollars in the bank, his
iutestines twisted into knot, and I
scowl on his face as he tries TO turr
peoples heads over their shoulder:
croaking and crying about imaginary
"hard times"

TO BuV,
When to Sell.

Has caused may person to ponder,
but as a rule he who ponders too long
before picking up a cheap piece of de-
sirable real estate has had to pay the
difference in a price that would made
the original purchase. Now is the
time to buy lots in Railroad Addition
to Ocean Park, before the season ad-
vances, for just so sure as the Colum-
bia flows out to sea, just so sure will
lots advance as the season advances,
and the great rush comes down to the
seaside next month. With the elegant
river service and a means of handling
all that come ON the Ilwaco and Shoal-
water Bay Railroad, the rush to North
Beach this season will exceed by 90
900 people that of last year. With
these facts staring you in the face is
there any doubt in your mind but that
every available lot will be picked up?
Not bit of it.

Their Business Booming.

Probably no one thing has caused such
a general revival of trade at j. W.
Conn's Drug Store as his giving away
to their customers of so many free trial
bottles of DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption. Their trade is simply
enormous in this very valuable article
from the fact that it always cures and
never disappoints. Coughs, Colds
Asthma, Bronchitis, Group, and all
throat and lung diseases quickly cured
You can test it before buying by getting
a trial bottle free, large size 81. Every
bottle warranted.

FIERCE FOREST FIRES.
Montana Indians and the Sun Dance

SULLIVAN, Mich, May S.-Forest
fires ignited this town yesterday and
burned the larger portion of it. The
loss is $4,000. Twenty-Five families
are thus rendered homeless and des-
titute, and 100 people were fed and
sheltered at Raven valley, five miles
distant.
AT NEwBURG ALSO.
NEwBURG, New York, May 8.-For-
est fires are reported in the Shawan-
gunk mountains, and along the line of
the New England railroad, and on the
state line. A large amount of wood
land has been seriously damaged
Fires are also reported on the increase
in all directions.

sponsible parties inst in from Lame
Deer, Montana, report that a large
party of Pine Ridge Indians led by
Grasshopper have come into Tongue

The Cheyennes are in sympathy with
the Sioux and the sun dance will Ger.
tainly be held unless the Indians are
overawed by the presence of a large
body Of troops.
The Crow outbreak of last summer
had its origin in a sun dance gotten
up by Grasshopper. and held at the
same place.

TIE IyvEsTIGATING CoMhIITTEE.

New YORK, May 8.-The investigat-
ing committee investigating the work
ing of the interstate commerce law
and Canadian roads doing business in
this country resumed work this morn
ing.
The first witness called was presi-
dent Chas. Francis Adams, of the Un-
ion Pacific. Mr.. Adams thought that
the interstate commerce law in many
cases was cruel. Those who obeyed it
lost: those who evaded it proited.
II should like, however, to see it uni
versally obeyed and given fair trial," /"
said Mr.. Adams, ''and since January
I believe the law has been better
obeyed than ever before. I know, for
instance, that large shippers who here
tofore practically dictated their own
terms can do so no longer. The inter
state commissioners, I know, are do
ing good work. The greatest service
commissioners could do railroads in
general would be to prosecute some
of the offenders. Nothing would have
a better effect on the situation"
Mr.. Adams thought that the COM
mon railroad law between Canada and
the United States and legalized pool
would be a good thing and would tend
to bring about a solution of the pres,
ent trouble in reference to the Canad.
ian roads.
IF you think the interstate law q
good thing, where does all the opposi-
ton come from?" asked Senator Blair
You must remember the country
has been built up on a system of dis
tribution which the interstate law has
shaken to its foundation. The long
and short haul clauses give, in effect
to the smaller cities many of the ad
vantages hitherto exclusively enjoyed
by larger cities, and the consequence
is, in a city like San Francisco, the
opposition is very strong" was Mr.
Adams answer.

The Pretty Girls OF Ireland.

The Irish ladies are perhaps he tpret-
tie st In the wide world, always except
ing our fair cousins, the Yankee bellies.
Their features, 1t is true, are less reg
ular than those OF English women,
but they triumph over them with their
soft, creamy complexion, their large,
appealing gray blue eyes and long
lashes, and a sort of indefnable charm
and demure coquetry. yet thoroughly
modest manners. Every third Irish
woman" wrote the Queen in her diary
when last visiting the country, lis
beautiful, and some OF them remarka-
bly, so. Their hair and eyes are simply
lovely" Apart from personal charms.
it is impossible not to admire the gen.
tie grace and dignity OF the wives and
daughters of the Emerald Isle. Go
where you will. defy you to find an
Irish woman who Is otherwise than
naturally distinguIshed-the very bar
maids being superior in bearing and
speech to many English duchesses. The
list of beauties is a long one. and look
ing back we can recall histories OF the
extraordinary loveliness of the three
Miss cummings, who, when they came
up to London, had actually to be
escorted in Hyde Park by a guard OF
soldiers sent by the order of the Secre-
tary of State, so overwhelming wa:

there was Lady Denny, Lady Cahir,

nothing OF the present young Duches:

women of this or any other day.

ing, but turning to Bill Wing, simply
said:
I'm ready to tell all all I know. 81
you'll let me go so far from my folks
that III never get chance ter heaI
from any o. them
The men conferred together for a
few minutes, and Bill Wing said:
We don't want ter hurt yer, or the
old woman; SO, if you tell the whole
truth, make a clean breast of it, wen
let you go scot Free
Thus assured, the old woman began
her recital OF horrors, which we will
briefly relate.
The Gowiers were from New York,
where they had kept a low dancs-house,
and a stranger having been murdered
there, they 1ed to Michigan, where the
men, who were all good mechanics, had
constructed the trap bed which had
caused 50 many deaths, and also built
the house 50 that the bodies OF their
victims could be flung into the river.
Sometimes they varied their perform
anceS by waylaying travellers az the
stump where the roads forked, and
after numbering and robbing them,
hiding their bodies IN the underbrush.
When she finished the terrible recital
of the fiendish work of her family,
darker and sterner than ever the set
tiers conferred together, and then Per-
kIus addressed himself to Pap Gowler.
You may as well know your doom
at once. Your son Ben lies near the
big stump, killed by my horse Your
other son, Tom, lies at the bottom of
the river; and it is the decree of these
men that you and your son-in-law shall
both be hung from the window of the
chamber whence SO many of your vic
tins have been hurled into eternity.
You will have weights attached to your
bodies, SO that when the rope is cut
you will become food for fishes
There was no use to ask for mercy.
One glance at those stern faces showed
even Mrs. Gowler that; and In awed
silence she followed the settlers as they
dragged their prisoners up the stairs
and into the chamber where so many
had lain down never 10 awaken.
The window was swung open, a
| short, round piece of timber was pro
duced and firmly secured TO the inside
of the chamber.
When all was ready, the two wretcheS
were each provided with a rope, heavy
weights fastened to their feet, and il
| spite of their cries and prayers, the
men were brought close to the window
The ropes around their necks were
fastened to the beam, and both of then
were pushed out of the window and
launched into eternity. For a few
minutes they hung dangling over th'
river; then as one of the settlers Gu
the ropes by which they were suspend
ed, both bodies fell heavily into tht
water, and were lost to sight forever.
Their work done the avengers turned
to bid the women leave, but Betse.
Gowler was gone, and was never hear
of more.
Mr.. Perkins turned out to be de
tective from New York, who had beel
hired by the authorities to hunt up the
cause of the mysterious murders.

DEATHS FROM UNSUITABLE FOOD.
The London Hospital notes that it
would be interesting to learn how
many children whose parents are CON-
paratiyely rich are starved to death,
not from undertaking. but from un-
suitable food. "In some cases 1t is all
meat and no milk, in others all milk
and no meat, and in either case the
child lacks some OF the constituents of
flesh. blood and bone. Many parents
seem 10 think that sameness in food Is
identical with simplicity, and pride
themselves on the virtue OF n course of
action which is nothing less than mur-
derOus.
