THE LAST PROOF.
w r. shideler's Death at Victoria
Cannot Be Denied.


II is wonderful how some individuals
pyetend to yell themselves out Of be-
lieying anything A few, probably
three people in this city. believed, OF
pretended to believe, afr the Asto-
rlan's announcement on Sunday. that
w. r. shideler was not dead, and that
the information published In this paper
was incorrect. 1t was well known all
oyer Astoria that the unfortunate
shideler had no toes on either foot, in
fact, that he was born without any
development whatever in front of his
instep. Therefore. to make as
surance doubly sure the Astorian yea-
terday telegraphed 20 the undert Ner
who buried the body in Victoria, the
following question:
"Had shidelcr, the man you buried.
any peculiar formation Of the feet?"
And here Is the answer:
1.-THE body had no toes on either
foot. No doubt about 1t being your
man. The widow in Portland has just
communicated With the sergeant OF
police"
It is to be hoped that the doubling
Thornases are satisfied 1t doesn't mat
ter much, however, whether they are
or not. Whatever poor Shidcler's
faults were. one act on the credit side
Of his account where he has gone, will
be the fact that his manhood was not
sufficiently dead to allow him to re-
main longer than week in the posi-
tion Of business manager of the
Evening Bucket.

LAURA BURKE DEAD.
A Search Is Being Made in Salem for
Her Parents.

The Salem statesman says "There
appears to be much mystery attached
to Laura Burke, whose death occurred
In San Francisco last Tuesday. The
Frisco police telegraphed to Astoria
to learn Of her relatives. The coroner
wired the Salem police asking about
her Then he telegraphed to the States
man a message for the parents Of the
dead woman, and last night another
message came asking the Statesman to
wire the coroner the full nam eof the
father of Laura Burke. No one has
been found In Salem who knows any
thing of the dead girls people. Chief
Of Police Mlnto has dim recollection
Of having seen her once in Astoria
when he was down there on official
duty some months ago. She was then
in dance house and there was a fla
yor of notoriety about her that induced
the Astoria police to ask the Salem
officer about her, and they took him
TO identify her. 1t seems that then
there was an understanding that her
parents were wel-to-do Salem people
But Chief Mimic did not recognize her
as anyone he had seen In Salem. 1t
must be q mistake about her hailing
from Salem--if her true name Is Burke.
The girl was about IS years old when
che died. She is said to have married
a fisherman by the name of Meier Of
Clifton. q small cannery about half
way between Astoria and Kalama But
she did not live with her husband, II
Is alleged. From all that can be learn
ed II seems that she was a variety
actress of rather more than the aver
age talent She was suffering from
bowel trouble but her death was caus-
ed by heart disease. Nothing Is stated
about Mrs. Baker. at whose home In
san Francisco Laura Burke (Mrs. Har-
ry Meier) died. 1t seems that she must
have known omething of the deceased
for the San Francisco papers have sew
eral facts about her early life, But II
that Information is as faulty as that
about the abode Of her parents 1t would
feem not TO be worth much. If Burke
"a the dead girls right name, she ha
no prominent parents here. AS to
where she does hail from and who her
reople really oru there is now no
trustworthy Information available,

Lower Your Head to Think.

Dr.. Lawder Brunton has made a dis.
covery which ought to entitle him to the
gratitude of all who live by intellectual
labor. 1t is nothing less than the secret
of how to have ideas at will. One night,
after a long days work, this eminent
physician was called upon to write an
article Immediately. He sat down, with
pen, ink ana paper before him, but not a
single idea came into his head, not a
single word could he write. Lying back
he then soliloquized: "The brain is the
same as it was yesterday, and it worked
then; why viii it not work to-day?"
Then it occurred to him that the day
before he was not SO tired, and that
probably the circulation was o little
brisker than to-day. He next considered
the various experiments OF the connec-
ton between cerebral circulation and
mental activity, says the London News,
and concluded that if the blood would
not come to the brain the best thing
would be to bring the brain down to the
blood.
It was at this moment that he was
seized with the happy thought Of laying
his head sSfat upon the table. At once
his ideas began to flow and his pen to
run across the paper
By and by Dr.. Brunton thought, 81 am
getting on SO well 1 may sit up now"
But it would not do. "The moment, !"
he continues, s'that | raised my head my
| mind became an utter blank. so I put my
head down again fat upon the table and
finished my article in that position. ~

THE LABOR WORLD.

TEXTILES are first in Prussian industries.
MINERS at Carmaux, France, have re-
sumed work.
The strike of the printers in Pittsburg has
lasted owe one year.
The paw of an ordinary British constable
is from 81. 80 to SO a week.
TIE Bakers Unions Of the States Of New
York and Pennsylvania are forming State
organizations.
A COOPERATIVE shoe factory is about to
be established by the Knights of Labor in
Rochester. n. Y.
WAGES for miners nave been raised two
per cent. by the Schuylkil Coal Exchange,
in Pottsville. Penn.
OVER seven thousand applications were
recently received in Paris, Francs, for fifty
five vacant positions.
OVER $780, COO women are working for
wages in France, and hundreds of thousands
are seeking work without being able to hnd
it.
UNION ~bricklayers who were employed to
build an addition to the Butler Universally at
indianapolis, Ind, refused to work on an
old foundation built by %non-unlon men. b
trustees allowed them to tear down the old
wall, and then the work went on.
TIE Order of Train Dispatchers was per-
manently organized at Memphis, Tenn,
with 1872 charter members. The constitution
and bylaws embrace the protective features
which caused so much discussion at the con-
vention in New Orleans last June.
The following are a few examples OF the
rate of pay of women in London: Making
paper bags, eight cents per 1000; possible
earnings 81. 25 to 81. 25 per week. Button
holes. six cents per dozen; possible earnings.
50 per week. Shirts, four cents; each worker
finding her own cotton can get six done be-

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Warmth is life to young chickens.
Keep the hen nests clean even in
winter.
It is not good economy to keep COM
mon geese.
Clean off the eggs'as fast as gathered
or the dirt will faint the meat.
Always arrange the nests and roosts so
that they can be readily cleaned.
If small common hens are used in
breeding, mate them to a large rooster.
On most farms skim milk is cheap.
Let the poultry have all they will eat or
drink. .
It is rarely a good plan to allow a
fruit-tree agent to select the varieties of
trees for the orchard.
The grape can be readily p~ropagated
by layering and a good supply of plants
be secured at a low cost.
Allowing moss or lichen to grow to
the bark of the trees affords q hiding or
halboring place for vermin.
When going any considerable distance
CRASHED cattle will shrink very heavily,
for the first ten days at least.
On many farms one reason why ducks
are not more profitable is because they
are not given proper attention.
In many cases a few cattle can be
kept on a farm with profit when a large
number would only result in loss.
If cattle are to be wintered largely on
roughness it is very important that they
be provided with a comfortable shelter.
Both the Plymouth Rocks and Wyan,
dottes are excellent market fowls. They
are of q good size and have clean leg:
and yellow skin.
The waste product of the garden can
be p~roftably disposed of in the poultry
ward. If fowls do not have free range,
see that they have plenty of green food
during all the green season.
The best use and profit to be had
from a sow is to feed her carefully and
have her produce two litters OF pigs a
wear. This is better than to newly
breed young sows each time.

WISE WORDS.

Strong reasons make strong actions.
Men are never such heroes, or such
fools, as in the presence OF womsn
He who desplses mankind will never
get the best out of himself or others.
No man or woman can be all that he
or she should be who has not the quail

A man should make sacrifices to keep
clear of doing a wrong; sacrifices won't
undo it when it's done.
Many a mans love is but gratiied ego
tism; nan a woman's love only the
confirmation OF her vanity.
He who sues for woman's favor in the
guise of a slave is apt. the suit won, to

Friendship frequently ripens into love,
| but very seldom does love react into
friendship. When it does it is psrma-
nent.
The one thing a woman cannot forgive

man cannot forgive in a woman is
| strength.
Many a woman is unhappy because she
| has not married the man she loves. But
| often she would be infinitely unhappier
| if she had married him.
If tenderness be passion in repose,
| passion must be tenderness aroused. Ten.
derness, indeed, is the source and sane
tity of the deepest passion.
Many women wish either to tyrannizs
over men or to be t7rannizei over By
