The novel Christmas entertainment at
Pine Street Church was great success At
ter reading of the Bible, story of the birth
of Jesus and prayer by the pastor, short
programme of recitations and readings was
rendered by the members of the school as
sisted by Miss Kelley. Santa Clause person
ated by Mr.. E. E. Piper, amused the audi
ence by few comic gifts to some of his
friends. AT the close of the service those
who had brought offerings for the poor
came up to the chancel in due form and pre-
scented their gifts to Mr. f. B. Clark, the
superintendent of the school. As nearly as
we can estimate, about an express wagon
load of goods was spread upon the church
platform, made up of flour, fish, coffee, tea,
sugar, beans, canned vegetables and fruits,
clothing and goodly number of toys and
books. Besides bushel of apples and two
and half bushels of potatoes received at the
door, $4.60 were received in cash. The
offerings for the worn-out preachers amount
en- to $I4 Mr.. Clark, the superintendent,
presented each member of the school with a
Christmas carol, and the Ladies' lCircle and
some other friends kindly remembered the
sexton, Mr.. Thoits, with little donation.
The offerings will be distributed to the needy
by the ladies of the church. Everybody
seemed to be happy in this unsel6sh and
Christian way of celebrating Christmas.

appointment of building and sanitary in
spectors in all cities of ten thousand or
more inhabitants.
Fourteen-That we favora early survey
of unsurveyed public lands in this state,
that the same may be claimed and occupied
and tillers speedily procured by bona fide
settlers, under the laws of the United
States. We demand liberal appropriations
by congress to secure that end.
Fifteen-That while disclaiming the right
to interfere with the administration of in

ly approve the efforts of Irish and English
statesmen to secure by peaceful methods
the American principle of home rule for
Ireland. [Applause.l
Sixteen-That we denounce all trusts and
combinations that have for their object the
controlling of the market value of the nec-
essaries of life and that we are in favor of
laws restraining and abollshing the same.
Seventeen-That we congratulate the
country upon the success and the prosperity
that have marked the first year of President
Harrison's administration; that we rejoice
in the restoration of dignity, vigor and
craftsmanship in the conduct of foreign
affairs which have settled grave information
al complications upon basis which secures
every American right, and which by
friendly advances and hospitality, have
strengthened the bonds of sympathy and
interest which join lis to the republics of
the American continent, paving the way to
policy of peace, of extended commerce,
and of amity among all the nations of the
New World; [applause] that we commend
the present national administration for
applying the surplus funds to the payment
of INTEREST," paying bonds, as contrasted with
the democratic policy of lending the surplus
to banks which retained their bonds and
collected interest thereon while using the
peoples money, which should have been ap-
piled to the payment of said bonds.

DON'T GO OFF BEFORE YOU ARE READY,
Particularly on long journey. Be fully
prepared. You cannot be, permit us to say.
unless you are accompanied with the travel
er's and tourists uade mecum, Hostetter's
Stomach BItters, most genial of appetizers,
acclimaters and promoters of digestion.
Against sea sickness, malaria, cramps and
colics begotten of badly cooked or ,unwhole-
some food and brackish water, nervousness,
increased by travel, chronic biliousness and
constipation, the Bitters is sovereign pre-.
ventive. It imparts relish for food not
altogether to your taste, and prevents it dis
agreeing with you. Never was there such
q capital thing for the unfortunate dyspep-
tic who stands in dread of the best cooked
meal. Stomachic trouble caused by i'll pre-
pared viands aboard ship, on steamboats,,
and rations hastily bolted at railway res
taurants, is soon remedied by the Bitters,
which gives auietus also to rheumatism,
kidney troubles aud insomnia.

great many of the taxpayers of the
county. / have taken the pains to tell
them what Mr.. Hufford told me, viz:
That should he (Hufford) be elected
that no enterprise of magnitude, such
as has been carried on under the pres
ent administration, will be permitted
until the taxpayers are first consulted,
and when they say "Yes" 1t will go and
when they say "No" it will not go. I
believe Mr.. Hutford will do just what
he says, and the voters have only to be-
lieve this and he will be elected by a
grand majority. A VOTER.

INVEST Now.-The fact that the
Southern Pacific company have
decided to extend their road to
Astoria, making it the terminus of
another transcontinental line, is
one of the. many evidences that
that place is sure to become city
of. no mean pretention. That cap
ital is seeking Investment in As
toria, is shown by the large num-
ber of real estate transfers made
every day, not only in business
property but suburban lots.
Hairless & Davisson are offering
great inducements to those who
invest tbefr money now in either
Schenck's or Astor's additions to
Astoria. Lots in these additions
will be greatly enhanced in value
within the next few months. This
firm. has also been appointed
agents for the HamburgvBreman
Fire Insurance Company of Ger
many, one of the oldest and most
reliable companies doing business
in the United States. Thus a
policy with this company is safe
investment.

CORRESPONDENCE.
NEWPORT, MAY l8, 1890.

NEWPORT, MAY lo, 1891.
Ed. GAzErTE:-I read an item in
the last issue of the Times stating that
Mr.. VIM. Mackay would lead the dem
ocratic ticket at the June election and
that he would carry nearly every pre-
cinct in the county. In this 1 think
the editor is greatly mistaken as the
republican candidate for sheriff is
growing in favor every day in this part
of the county, and will doubtless get
handsome majority over his competitor
for the Office. I also remember of
reading a scurrilous article written by
some democrat and published in the
Times just before the republican con-
vention met, throwing mud and reflect
ing upon very prominent republican
candidate for sheriff. This was a
trick done for the purpose of getting a
strong man off the track in order to
get a weak man on the ticket SO he
could be easily beaten. This, howev-
er, was great mistake as Mr.. WIN.
Jolly is not only competent and pop
ular man but will make a splendid
sheriff and every republican in the
county ought to support him as we'll as
all democrats who wish to elect good
moral man to that important Office.
The Times correspondent seemed to
put great stress upon the moral qualifi-
cations of a public officer. Why don't
that paper keep up its lecturing on
morality2- it certainly has a good
subject in the person of the present
democratic candidate for sheriff. The
people now have an opportunity of
electing man of high moral worth to
be sheriff of Benton county in the per-
son of Mr.. Jolly, and thus carry out
the original plan of the Times; or they
can perpetuate the old plan of BUSH
whacking and canvassing the county to
get votes by continuing the present
incumbent in Office. The people ATE
getting heartily sick of the old method
and will no doubt relegate it to the
shades O. the past at the coming cleo
ton. The whole republican state and
county tickets will get splendid ma
jority on this side of the mountain. 3
We don't consider Governor Pen
mover any better friend to the laboring
men than d. P. Thompson, the repub-
lican candidate for governor, who was
once poor man himself and worked
his way up to his present position by
his own efforts. Some people are dis
posed to give Governor Pennoyer
credit for telling the o. P. officials,
during the labor trouble at Corvallis,
to pay the men whom they owed and
there would be no difficulty. Mr..
Thompson or any other honorable man
would have done the same thing under
the circumstances, and then, there is
no particular credit attached to it. Mr..
Thompson has the confidence of the
people and he will be Oregon's next
governor. VINDEx.
