THE BEACH CLEANER.

There were several bills passed upon
by the city council last night, and then
there being no farther business this
BODY adjourned. Any person who had
been used to attending these council
meetings could not have helped missing
Councilman O'Hara from this one. He
would never have let that body leave
the hall until they had taken up the
bill of the beach cleaner against the
city. When the council last held a
meeting, the beach cleaner was or
dered dismissed by them and the re-
corder ordered to offer him 800 in fun
for his claim Of 5000 against the city.
That meeting was some time ago.
The recorder has had plenty of time
to proffer him the amount.
But no one in the council seemed to
think enough about it or care enough
about 1t to ask whether he accepted the
90 cents on the dollar offer or not.
Perhaps they did not care.

Hanthorn's down to S. Elmore's can
merry.
Petition from the Astoria Football
Club to help defray the regatta ex-
penses. Referred to the committee on
ways and means. and it will end there,
as the city charter will not allow the
members of the council to make the
appropriation, even though they might
want to.
Ordinance passed approprlating 5000
out of the general fund for the benefit
of Frank j. Taylor
Ordinance passed appropriating the
sum of $495.6O out of the general fund

Crax-payers should read these two or
dinances over as these two bills date
back to the council Of '91, when Messrs.
Welch McGregor, Newell, Bergman,
and others were at the helm)
The 18th street ordinance came I'd.
but either the city surveyor blundered
and surveyed three blocks instead of
two, or the council did not understand
his report, and much to the disgust of
Scherneckau and Webber 1t was laid
over until the next meeting.
Warrants were ordered to be drawn
for the following amounts and parties;
Telegraph company, $3.50; gas, $2.55;
M. c. Crosby, $S75; Fisher Bros. 81. .S6.

ON THE SAFE SIDE.

Everybody knows this is a good place
to be, but everybody does not take
measures to be there. An efficient pre-
ventative places us on the safe side of
inclpient disease, and there is no one
more reliable than Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters in cases where the kidneys are
inactive, which is bue the preliminary
to various destructive maladies, which
disregarded have a fatal termination.
Brights disease, diabetes, dropsy, oede,
ma, are but the outgrowths of neglected
inaction of the kidneys and bladder.
They should be checked at the outset
with bitters, which will prevent their
progress by arousing the renal organs
to activity, and thus place those who
resort to this saving medicine on the
safe side. This preservative of safety
also conquers constipation, liver COM
plant, malarial fever, nervousness and
dyspepsia.

A POINTER

Many people believe that all black
smithing jobs are alike-that they are
nothing but muscle and material mixed.
That is true of ordinary jobs. Brains
are also used to make a good job. So is
conscience a job made without skin
or honesty is no good. Our work Is
widely known for its quality, durability
and economy in the end.
