About week ago pleasant appear
ing young man of about 30 years or SO
came to town. and announced himself
as little Of a footracer He was not
good enough to run anybody, he said /;
his modesty was too great for that !;
but, he would not mind tackling any
Astoria born athlete. His manner was
very pleasant, and while he sounded his
own praises quite a bit, it was done
with an object. In a day or two a.
proposition was made by the friends of
Tom Foster. They wanted to make a
match for some thousands The stran-
ger was aghast. He could not think of
1t and insinuated that he might ven
ture a couple of hundred If they would
promise not to ring i'm an outside
man. A match was finally made, and
the stranger, who announced himself
as Alexander went down to exercise
and took Frank Green and a stop
watch with him. He said he could run
a hundred in eleven seconds, and start
ed out to make good his word. Down
the roadway he ran, but as he neared
the tape and Frank Green he said.
Don't take the time now; / am not
running my best" His time was 12
seconds. In the second trial the watch
indicated 11A, but the stranger, who
appeared to be laboring hard, insisted
he could do the hundred in II even.
A third trial he made was rewarded
with success. The stakes in the race
were $50 side, and about o'clock on
Sunday q large crowd appeared on the
roadway below the Seaside cannery TO
witness the race. The men appeared
and Alexander" took a spin, appear
ing to be in good condition. Very little
time was lost at the scratch, and Cap
tain Hallock sent the men Off, Foster
to good advantage in the first |
sixty yards. About that point he was
overhauled and crowded his opponent |
toward the fence, Alexander being un-
able to pass. Then was seen q pretty
piece Of running. Stacking for just a
moment until he saw his chance, the .
stranger with a great burst of speed, !
passed his opponent and won easily in
time which was variously given at
from 9A to 10A. Not great deal was
lost on the result, all the sports being
shy.

THE NATIONS BIRTHDAY

One hundred and seventeen years age
today the United States took her place
among the nations of the EARTH and il
ia meet that all true Americans should
assist In the commemoration of al
event of such paramount Importance
There is considerable said about "spread
eagesm," but It may be asked what
nation has q better right to sound Its
trumpet and laud its own achieve
ments? In peace or In war; In some
II not all, of the arts and sciences; In
prosperity, In the value OF our varied
resources and all the attributs that
combine to make nation great we
lead. Our business is greater, our re-
sources vaster, our future more perma-
nent and assured and our record more
glorious. We are, in short, favored
nation. and have much cause to rejoice
on this day Of memories, of thanks
giving, and of patriotic thought. On
this day began the great struggle be-
tween colonists and king, a contest for
Justice, freedom and human rights.
The Declaration OF Independence, the
chart and compass of all human rights,
was promulgated on this day, when
was begun that stubborn battle which
eventually gave to this country her
place among the foremost nations of
the earth. From q crowned king and
titled tyranny was wrested the scepter
OF arbitrary power, and by that declar
alton the cruel statutes of a foreign
potentate were repealed. That declara-
tlon was our American patent of no.
bllity; II knighted every son Of toll, it
opened to the poorest the path of fame,
and set the star of hope above the
cradle Of the most lowly. On this day
the colonists first defled the mighty
power of England, and declared that
governments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed"
The men of 76 fought for that prin-
clple, and all honor to their memory.
Today our beautiful, stainless flag
floats over our wide domain, the proud
est emblem of liberty, and every hu-
man heart beneath its folds should

given to us over century ago, and |

and may its stars perpetually CLEAN
above our glorious country.

STATE BANK TROUBLES.
Three Petitions Filed in Contest
of Disposition of Securities

Three Petitions Filed in Contest
of Disposition of Securities.
A contest has begun in the district
court over the disposition of State bank
securities. Three petitions were filed
in the district court yesterday morning
by john w. Arctander, which involve
the securities of the-bank. The attorney
represents about $4,000 of the depos-
itors. The petitions state that less than
ninety days before the assignment the
bank delivered to the Security bank Sc
curitieS worth SOL, 1868, which is shown
in one of the items in the schedule.
These securities, it is asserted, are to Sc
cure debt of So, 900. It's further stated
thatSecurities to the amount of SIS. OBJ. So
were given to the American Exchange
bank, when, as matter OF fact, the
officers of the receiving bank
knew that the State bank was in an
insolvent condition. Besides this $780,
0SOS9 worth of securities given to A. c.
Haugan, city treasurer, to secure money
OH deposit, are also involved. The at
torney states that this last was given
after the bank had assigned for the pur-
pose of relieving the bondSmeD from
liability in that quarter.
The state of Minnesota also made an
application, which was heard before
Judge Smith, to have the assignee of
the bank pay over S75, 1000 of the states
money. This was resisted by the cred
itOrS, and the point was made that the
liability of the bondSmen should be
drawn on first before any other money
could be taken. 1t was shown that if
the money were paid over 1t would be
virtually making depositors bondsmen
for the state deposit. The matter was
considered so important that it will be
heard before the full bench.

that some were pot killed or fatally in

by Judge Smith Yesterday morning. He
did not decide the case, but in taking it
under Amusement said that the city had
not properly specified in its advertise
ments what was wanted in the way of
lighting. The city had also made q
contract which called for not less than
Il certain number of lights, when the
charter reserves to the city the right to
diminish the number whenever it sees
fit. The only point he will consider is
whether or not the contractor accepting
the contract was not bound to know the
law. no matter what was in the contract
The contract amounts to nearly $500, 900

Every dyspeptic in the world suffers
untold wretchedness that Pe-ru-na

chronic eatarrh endure a constant mis-
cry which course of Pe-ru-na would
dispel in nearly every case. Consump-
tIves without number who are silently
submitting to fate as if there was no
help could be saved and restored to per-
feet health by Pe-ru-na. Scores of
women who drag themselves YEARLY

all hope can not only be promptly re-
lieved, bnt the vast majority perma-
Iently cured by Pe-ru-na The great
multitude of nervous wrecks from
nervous weakness, or any form of
weakness, who have lost all ex-
pectation of cure, would find Pe-ru-na
able to quickly soothe, and finally cure
all these arrangements.
