On arriving here they had found a mu-
Dicipal election would be held on We'd

Mr.. Matter followed in the stme
strain, adding that he hoped 1t would
be made an occasion when Astoria and
Portland could take one another by
the hand and call all past differences
off, If there has ever been hitch
between the two cities, 1t is time now
to lay down arms and join hands In
one common cause, the up-building of
both places.

from the various gentlemen present re-
gardlng suitable time TO meet the
Portland people, and 1t was finally
agreed by unanimous vote that Wed

Deputy Fish Commissioner AL. Houch-
en-, of Washington, left for Portland last
evening to appear before the United
States grand jury and testify in the
cases of the cannerymen whose traps
are located in the channels of the Col
umbia river. Mr. Hodgkins takes with
him a bottle containing a number of
young salmon recently Matched in the
walters of Jasper Prest creek, a little
stream running into the Chinook river.
He intends to show these young fish
to the editors OF the leading Oregon and
Washington newspapers in order to
secure their cooperation in the fight
for appropriations for hatdheries by
the legislatures Of the respective states.
Mr.. Houclhen has demonstrated beyond
doubt the feasibility of protitably
maintaining hatchery near the mouth
of the Columbia river. He states that
Ii is not proposed to turn the young
fish loose at the point where Matched,
but on the contrary to take THE PAR
TALLY developed eggs, when the eye
spots first appear, and ship them to the
Clac<amas hatchery. In doing this Mr..
Houchen states that the percentage of
loss would be small, as the development
Of the egg would be simply arrested
during transportation.

here is more Catarrh in this section
of tie country than all other diseases
put together. and until the last few
years yas supposed to be incurable. For
a great many years doctors pronounced
it a local disease. and prescribed local
remedies. and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be a constitutional disease and there
lore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh oCure, manufactured by
F. j. Cheney 4 Co., Toledo. Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally in doses from 10

Ii is of vital importance that it should be
understood by persons whose kidneys are in
active. that this condition of things is finally
inductive of a state of the organs where life
hangs in the balance. Bright's disease, dia-
betes, albuminuria are all diseases of a very OBJ
stinate character in their mature stage, and all
have a fatal tendency. They often battle the
most practised medical skill, and the most ap-
proved remedies of materia medica. But op-
posed at the outsct-that is to say, when the
kidneys begin to discharge their functions in
actively-with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the
dangerous tendency is checked. Very useful,
also, is this household medicine for those all
ments of common occurrence constipation,
biliousness, dyspepsia and nervousness. 1t is a
safeguard against malaria and averts chronic
rheumatism.

Our Time Host Creates a Sensation
in Chicogo and Denver.

There are few people in Montana who
have visited the eastern portion Of the
state in the past few years without
either meeting or hearing of George E.
Hannah, who was for a long time man
ager OF the Mcqueen house in this city,
and consequently the following Associ-
ated Press telegram, dated Chicago,
March Z, will be read with interest:
"A sensational story is printed by the
Dispatch tonight regarding the sudden
departure for Europe of Mrs. N. A.
Clark. a member of the law book pub
fishing company Of Callaghan g. Co., and
the disappearance of George E. Hannah,
late manager of the Savoy hotel.
Mrs. Clark, who is well known in
Chicago society, is a handsome widow
and is reported to be worth 100000
-Four years ago her husband died and
left her an interest in the book concern.
Since that time the widow has travelled
around the country. George E. Hannah
was formerly a clerk in the Montezuma
hotel at Las Vegas, n. M. Last summer
he vas installed as manager OF the Sa-
voy. A year ago, says the Dispatch,
Mrs. Clark and a Mrs. Burton visited
the springs at Las Vegas. There she
first met Mr.. Hannah, who fell desper-
ately in love with her, and showed her
marked attention. but Mrs. Hannah was
kept in ignorance Of the whole affair.
When Mrs. Clark left the springs for
Chicago, she received kilograms of love
at every way station from Hannah, and
so it was only natural that when Han
nah came to Chicago he should find the
captivating widow. During the summer
Mrs. Clark rented a residence on the
South side, and Hannah was a frequent
caller. About this time Mrs. Hannah
made a mild protest. Then Mrs. Clark
went to Denver, and secured a suite of
room at Browns Palace hotel, where
she was received with open arms by the
four hundred of Denver. Hannah re-
NAMED at the Savoy but showered tele.
grams Of love to Denver and wrote Mrs.
Clark daily.
Two months ago Mr.. Hannah sent
the following telegram: Mrs. n. A.
Clark, Browns Palace hotel, Denver.-I
cannot come to you. darling Mamie.
What shall | do? George The widow
proved her devotion by the following
nswer Never mind, dearest George. /
will come to you Next day Mrs. Clark
hurriedly left for Chicago. She hast
ened to the Savoy. Three short days
flew by and Mrs. Clark returned to Den
yer.
Two weeks ago Banker Eames and
Lawyer Tewksbery. owners of the Savoy.
for the first time learned of Hannah's
doings. A thorough investigation was
made and Hannah was removed. Two
days later he walked out of the hotel.
and his wife has not seen him since. To
Mr.. Aldrich, head clerk. he has written
a letter, saving that he is on his way to
Europe. and he on numerous occasions
told tho clerk that wealthy Mrs. Clark
was going to take him to Europe and pay
all his bills"
