Mr.. Hunter Replies
To "Citizen. "

Mr.. M. M. Hunter of the butcherlng
firm Of Hunter & Mergens. came into
The Astorian Office yesterday to reply
to the comments Of Citizen" concern
ing the actions of his and other firms
In sending to Portland for beef ana
cattle instead OF patronizing the coun-
ty farmers, Il want to say" he re-
marked that Citizen doesn't know
what he is talking about, or he has
obtained his knowledge from people
who didn't give him the facts of the
case. In the first place. l will state
that this very day every butchering
establishment in Astoria is selling
Clatsop county beef over its counters,
butchered In Clatsop county, and that
every establishment of the kind In this
city is willing and anxious to buy from
Clatsop farmers every pound OF meat
they can raise. Speaking for my own
firm, we have always been ready and
stand ready now to pay for and util-
ize every head of cattle offered to us
for sale by our local farmers. We are
under standing instructions from our
headquarters in Portland to accept ana
sell Clatsop county beef as much as
possible, and only to send to Portland
for 1t when 1t is impossible to supply
the demand with the local product.
And this may say is the main rea-
son why the citizens OF Astorlr must
often buy beef raised outside the coun-
ty. Our farmers cannot raise nearly
enough to satisfy home consumption.
They have never done 1t yet You
cannot find single stock raiser of
this county who can say over his own
signature that he has offered pur-
chasable piece Of meat to an Astoria
butcher and been refused"
From Christmas time to April with
one or twotrare exceptions. It is never
possible to get beef in Clatsop county,
and we have to send away as far as
Salt Lake to supply the market. They
have to do the same thing In Portland.
and Portland butchers would no more
think of sending to Salt Lake for what
they could get Just as well In Multi
nomah county, than we would think
Of sending to Portland for what we
had at our very doors in Clatsop. OF
course we won't accept bullocks that
have been worked for years in logging
camps, neither will we pay for old
cows that have been MIXED dry and
are ut for nothing but the manure
heap. They are not beef at all, but
soleleather. But no farmer in this sec
ton ever brought an eatable piece Of
meat TO us yet that we have not glad
ly and willingly accepted at full mar
Iset rates. We are willing to buy every
head Of merchantable beef that stands
in the county today"

Elmore, Sanborn & Co.'S fall salmon
circular issued yesterday says: "At
shoalwater Bay and Gray's Harbor
fish are scarce. At Puget Sound they
were running very slack until the 11th
inst, when they took a squirt and came
in in fairly large quantities. If dry
weather continues the Puget Sound
Gamers will have fair pack, but even
then 1t will be nothing like last years
output. If the rains come on early
the pack will dwindle down to very
small proportions indeed All the riv-
ers south of the Columbia are having
light runs, which improved somewhat
during the late rainy weather. Ac-
cording to our latest reports Gray's
Harbor has 1000 cases. Shoalwater
Bay 1900 cases, and Tlllamook 1,5O0
cases. The quality of fall fish is about
the same as that Of previous years.
At Siuslaw and the Umpqua there has
been perceptible increase in size No
definite reports are yet at hand from
Coquille or Rogue Rivers. The fall
fishing in the Columbia itself is fairly
successful. OnI ytwo canneries are
running. The fish in Bakers Bay for
the last few days have done well and
the quantity Of fish coming in. II they
ran in small estuary would give
prospects for a large pack. They are
very much scattered, however, In the
Columbia The humpback variety are
coming in very large, many OF them
Weighing thirty pounds. The price ruI-
ing fall salmon this year is extremely
poor. owing especially to the great
quantities Of Alaska fish now offered at
s1.071z delivered in New York. Fall fish

Eastern states.

RETAINS BOURKE COCHRAN.
George Gould Prepares to Fight Mrs
Nichola1Ts' Peculiar Claim.

New York, lee. 7.-George Gould has
retained Bourke Cochran as his at
torney in the matter of the action
brought by Mrs. leila Nicholaus, who
claims that Mr.. Gould took from her
d check for $4,000 which he had pre-
yiouSly given her.
The report that Mr.. Gould win pro
ceed against Mrs. Nicolaus for black
mail is untrue.
1t is claimed that during August of
1892 Mrs. Nicholaus was the stenogra-
pher at meeting of railroad men, Gould
being among them. That young gen
ueman is said to have been greatly
impressed with the lady. The story
that is told upon the streets further
runs that Gould persuaded her to come
to New York, promising her a more
pleasant and profitable situation than
was hers in Chicago.
She came to New York and later
came into possession of a check calling
for $4,000 to be paid from the Gould
wealth. That is why the present suit
has been brought. Mr. Gould denies
the story in its entirety. Gould's wife
is Edith kingdom, the well-known ac-
tress.

THE JOKE ON HIM.

A first glance is not reassuring at
what "Osian Dyfed' might term IAN
animated conglomerate mass of CULVER

nature, yclept jelly but what in the
classic language OF the hills is known
as ~ peth sydd yn siglO," says the
Cardiff Mail At soiree Il young man
was served with a jelly of some kind
for the first time, and was Mortified to
observe all the evidences of torture in
what seemed to be a part of some
creature not allowed to die before be-
ing eaten. Gradually, however, it
seemed to die, and when its life was
extinct he put the knife to it, but was
shocked to find there was every sign
of life again.
OF course it was to be eaten, even
if the act was barbarOus one, so bold
ly he seized the knife and detached a
large portion with one stroke. But, as
if the shaky thing strove to avoid it
fate, the nearer it was brought to his
lips the more it wriggled. The jug
Cling performance became all the
more difficult as the tittering increased
and the hero failed to see the fun of
his despair in trying to get outside of
the blamed thing. At length he threw
down the knife, and, with the air of

While acknowledging our mutual

tary TO such of the present laws of
marriage as refuse to recognize the
wife as an independent, rational being,
While they confer upon the husband
an injurious and unnatural superiority,
investing him with legal powers which
no honorable man would exercise. and
which no man should possess. We pro-
test especially against the laws which
give the husband:
1. The custody of the wife's person
,. The exclusive control and guar.
dianship of their children.
8. The sole ownership of her per.
sonal and use of her real estate, unless
previously settled upon her or placed
in the hand of trustees, as in tie case
of minors, idiots and lunaticS.
f. THE absolute right to the product
of her industry.
). also against laws which give to
the widower so much larger and more
permanent an interest in the property
of his deceased wife than they give
to the widow in that of her deceased
husband
=. FINALLY, against the whole sys-
tenn by which the legal existence of
the wife is suspended during marriage,
so that, in most states, she neither has
legal part in the choice of her resi-
dence, nor can she make a will, nor
sue or be sued in her own name. nor
inherit property.
I'VE believe that personal independ-
ence and equal human rights can never
be forfeited, except for crime; that
marriage should be an equal and per-
manent partnership. and so recognized
by law; that until it is so recognized,
married partners should provide
against the radical injustice of present
laws by every means in their power
I'VE believe that where domestic
difficulties arise no appeal should be
made to legal tribunals under existing
laws, but that all difficulties should
be submitted to the equitable adjust
ment of arbitrators mutually chosen.
Thus, reverencing law, we enter our
protest against rules and customs
which are unworthy of the name, since
they violate justice, the essence of
law"

THEIR WEDDING JOURNEY.
A West Philadelphia Couples Adven
ture With q Train Robber.

A newly married couple, who have
just come from the far southwest tC
reside in West Philadelphia, had an
experience on their wedding tour
! which, though an exciting one at the
time, has caused both them and their
| friends a great deal of merriment.
They had just been married and We're
ushered on their journey an hour later.
The train was running along swiftly
and they were recovering from the ex-
element of the ordeal through which
they had just passed, when the train
, stopped suddenly and the brakeman
came rushing through the train, pulling
down the blinds in most unceremOni-
GUS manner. The groom began to get
little apprehensive, SO he told his
bride he was going to find out what
was the matter. He came back with
the news that the train was held up
by robbers. The brides face blanched.
involuntarily she looked at the wed
ding ring that had been placed ON her
hand only an hour or so before. She
wondered if she begged real hard to
the train &c bbers whether they would
leave her at least that. She thought
exactly what she was going to say to
the bandit when he came for her valua-
ables. Then the conductor came i'll
and warned the passengers and people
to hide watches and pocketbOOks and
jewels in every conceivable place.
Suddenly the report of a revolver, fol-
lowed by others in quick succession,
made all shiver.
Get down between the seats"
hastily said the young husband to his
bride. Il wont run even the shadow
Of a risk"
Obedient to her new master she
crept down on the floor in security.
There's no danger at ALL said the
man in the next seat, reassuringly.
Just then several more shots were
heard, and the speaker Topped down
between the seats. All the other PEG
pie in the car followed suit, and as
they were on al tours in brea thless
anxiety there came in a sweet tuned
voice, full Of suppressed anxiety, ed
gar, have you got good safe place.
There was a smile even in the terrors
of the moment on the faces of many |
of the passengers. The train robbers |
left without going through the passen- |
ger coaches.-Philadelph Press.

MARRIAGE PROTEST.
Agreement Made by Lucy Stone and
Her Amiable Husband.

Among the events of note in the life
of Lucy Stone, not the least memorable
! was her marriage, and the protest
against the existing marriage laws
which was drawn up and signed by
her and her husband. The ceremony
was performed by Col. Higginson, of
, Cambridge. then Rev. Thomas Went
worth Higginson, of Worcester.
The protest was published in the
Worcester Spy and the Boston Travel
Ter, that the world of 1855 might know
the stand that had been taken. The
following is Mr.. Higginson's letter to
the Spy:
1T was my privilege to celebrate
May day by officiating at a wedding in
a farmhouse among the hills of West
Brookf1eld, The bridegroom was a man
Of tried worth, a leader in the western
anti-slavery movement; and the bride
is one whose fair name is known
throughout the nation; one whose rare
intellectual qualities are eXcelled by
the private beauty Of her heart and
life.
Il never perform the marriage cere-
mony without renewed sense Of the
iniquity Of our present system Of laws
in respect to marriage; a system by
which man and wife are one, and that
one is the husband 1t was with my
hearty concurrence, therefore, that the
following protest was read and signed,
as part Of the nuptial ceremony; and
I send it to you, that others may be
induced to do likewise"

by Lucy Stone and 81. B. Blackwell,
