Reader, did you ever take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR, the "KINa OF
LIVER MEDIcNEs?" Everybody needs
take liver remedy. It is a sluggish or
diseased liver that impairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in
the body and poisons the whole system.
That dull, heavy feeling is due to a
torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg
ulato- and you'll get rid of these trou-
bles, and give tone to the whole sys-
tenn. For a laxative Simmons Liver
Regulator is BETTER THAN PILLS. It
does not grippe, nor weaken, but greatly
refreshes and strengthens.
Every package has the Red z
stamp ON the wrapper. j. H.

A felt want is that gnawing at
the stomach after you have eaten a
full meal, and can't eat any more,
and yet there is that feeling as
though you had eaten nothing.
What is wanted then is q dose Of
Simmons Liver Regulator, the best
Dyspepsia cure, for that is what
the gnawing means. Simmons
Liver Regulator is all that
is recommended for Indigestion" !"

chief outside deputy, Martin Keating, re-
ports to the Superintendent, but the latter
does not know of his own knowledge that
work reported for acceptance has been
done as the specifications require. The
Grand Jury is evidently impressed with
the belief that Ashworth is responsible for
the loose methods employed, poor material
used and careless work done. Members
of the Grand Jury will not express an opin-
ion as to probable indictments, but indict-
ments are impending.
If the Superintendent is not indicted the
report of the Grand Jury may recommend
proceedings to remove him from Office on
the grounds of neglect of his duties and in
competency.
An investigation which discloses so much
neglect in the beginning is almost sure by
wide reaching and deep probing to bring
to light the methods by which crooked
contractors can underbid legitimate firms
and secure acceptance of inferior work.
That the jury means to reach out wide and
go down deep is attested by the issuing of
subpenas for many more witnesses, among
them contractors and inspectors.
A report gained circulation yesterday
that one of the inspectors whose testimony
is needed could not be found.
The assistant bookkeeper of the Street
Department, who was jailed last summer
for raising warrants, is still in prison and
the question is being asked why the case is
not being tried. An effort to raise money
in his behalf was made in the department,
but the amount secured is not known
The Grand Jury may endeavor to elicit
from the imprisoned bookkeeper some
facts of importance. Detective Cody, who
made the arrest, believes that the man in
jail could give out great deal of informa.
ton which would be very useful at this
time.
When the Grand Jury finished the ex-
animation of witnesses on Street Depart

to the trunk factory fire on Seventeenth

ASTOR|A'S NEW RAILROAD
President Hammond Talks of
the Proposed Line to
Portland.
TO BE COMPLETED NEXT YEAR.
1t VIII Connect With Five Principal
Railways Of the Pacific North
west States.

Astoria, Or. city of 10000 inhabitants,
is to have its first railroad in a few months
and it will then be connected at Portland
with five of the principal lines of the Pa
cific Northwest. The mouth of the Colum-
bia River, after the completion of the en-
terprise, will be alive with deep-water ves-
sells, which, previous to the dredging of the
harbor, were unable to land at Astoria.
The work of constructing the new line is
in the hands of the Astoria and Columbia
River Railroad Company, a corporation
worth 100000, under the presidency of
A. B. Hammond, who is now stopping at
the Palace Hotel, where he was seen yes
terday by CALL reporter.

HER FIRST FRONT TOOTH,
One of the Guns for the Ore
CONS Forward Turret
at Hand.
SIxty-Eight Tons Of Steel Which
VIII Throw a Shot Twelve
Miles.

The first of the big 13-inch guns for the
new battleship Oregon, now being built at
the Union Iron Works, will arrive in this
City early this morning.
The big gun has been travelling slowly
over the country for some weeks past,
resting on car specially built for carrying
just such freight, and guarded as carefully
as treasure box, for the value of the big
lump of steel cannot be expressed with less
than five figures The car on which it
travels was built by the Penn sylvania
Central Railroad for the purpose of carry
ing the big 16-inch Krupp gun to the
Worlds Fair. 1t is braced in every direc-
tlon until it is of enormous strength, and
the platform rests on two trucks with
eight wheels on each.
The gun is one of the largest made by
the American Government. 1t is 479
inches long, or an inch less than 40 feet !;
40 inches in breadth at the breech ana 90
inches at the muzZle. With full charge
of $50 pounds of powder it will drive shot
weighing HOO pounds with a velocity of
2100 feet a second. This will drive the shot
through 25inches of steel at 1000 yards and
over p inches at $500 yards, and it will, at
greatest elevation, drop the tremendous
steel proiectile II miles away. The gun
itself weighs 10000 pounds.
In the bore there are 81 grooves forming
the rif1ing, each one-twentieth Of an inch
deep and over half an inch wide. They
start parallel to the center line of the bore,
and, gradually increasing the twist, reach
curve of turn in 25 calibers, or turn in
about 27 feet.
The gun will be mounted in the forward
turret of the Oregon. The naval mount
differs from the military carriage in that
the land gun of large caliber, like those of
smaller caliber, is mounted on trunnions,
while the big naval gun is strapped to a
saddle. Five hoops of steel are shrunk about
the guns breech in two sets-three in one
and two in another. This saddle, which is
of brass, slides on carriage; huge casting
upon its lower face receives the end of the
piston-rod of the recoil cylinder the recoil
cylinder being bolted to the front of the
carriage. The carriage is swung on hori-
zontal bolt just under the gun and forward
of the balance, and it's afterend is raised or
lowered with this bolt as a center. This
gives elevation and depression to the
muzzle. To give the piece lateral train the
turret, guns and all is thrown to the right
or left. The recoil of the gun under a full

nection at Golbe, sixty miles from Astoria,
as soon as possible. Sixteen more miles
are now under contract and the rest will
be let soon. The reason that railroad
service has not been had in Astoria before
is because the mouth of the Columbia
River was too shallow to admit deep-water
ships. This year, however, the Govern
ment has completed its dredging and the
heaviest craft afioat can land at the As
tora jetty at any time.
"Our line will connect at Portland with
the Union Pacific, the Oregon Railway
and Navigation Company, the Northern
Pacific, the Southern Pacific and the Great
Northern, five principal lines. We will
pass through the timber country of the
banks of the river and handle freight and
passengers along the route, besides act as
the carrier of the produce of the entire
Northwest or Columbia basin, which is the
natural point of embarkatlon Tor that sec
ton of the Pacific Coast.
at is strange thing that the third
largest river in the United States, with a
city of 10000 people at its mouth, should
have been so long without a railroad, but
the river bar, up to within few months
ago. was too shallow for deep-water ves-
sells, and they have been compelled to go
up the coast some distance and come in
land by long and circuitous route, which
could be and will be greatly shortened by
the construction of our line. We have
simply opened the logical point of en-
trance and exit, and the benefits to Astoria
and that section of the country generally
will be at once noticeable.
The Northwest is extremely productive,
and it will have the effect of stimulating
the industries to n greater capacity of
work.
1--WE have given employment to large
body of workingmen and engineers, and
in short time other benefits in the shape
of employment to sailors, wharfmen and
seafaring men generally will be noticeab bic.
From this on Improvements OF all kinds
will be made in and around Astoria, and
the small towns along the line will be in
communication with the principal cities.
One of the greatest industries we have is
the timber business, and an immense re-
| gion will doubtless be opened up for oper-
ations. The boats of small draught that
have been plying the Columbi River have
| been OF limited capacity in transporting
the products of the country but with the
assistance of the new line it will be posi-
bic to ship a greater quantity of material
than ever before.
81 will leave for Astoria shortly to push
| the work, and by this time next year we
will have things in such a shape that it
will look as though the entire Columbia
basin has taken new lease of life that will
be substantial"
Mr.. Hammond is inclined to the belief
that the building of the Astoria and
Columbia River Railroad will be directly
| instrumental in the growth of other lines.
| which will greatly add to the general pros
| perlty OF the Northwestern States.

A CLIENTS MONEY,
Attorney Long Cited to Explain His
Account With Mrs. Tierney,
a Client.

Attorney James Long was cited to ap-
pear in Judge Coffey's court yesterday to
explain the use of clients money, but
the hearing was postponed until to-day.
He was attorney for Mrs. Bridget Tierney,
and the latter gave to him money which
she had been ordered to pay into court.
The attorney Gid not pay the money to the
court and Mrs. Tlerney was sent to jail for
contempt, but she is now out on bonds.
Mrs. Tierney was guardian of Mrs. Mar
garet Crichton, her sister. who, in 1891 was
committed to an asylum for the insane,
and she had control of the latter's $4,000
estate. After the insane woman had been
restored to competency an accounting was
ordered and Mrs. Tierney was found to
owe her sister $1170. Only S725 has been
paid and Mrs. Tierney declares that she
gave the remainder of the money to Mr.
Long, intending that it should be paid to
Mrs. Crichton.

Some of them came, but more of them did

BOUND TO GET DAMAGES.
Troubles Over Cloak Which Was

"Bo1Ied Instead OF Cleaned.
There was a lively dispute before Justice
of the Peace Barry yesterday over the
value of little child's CLOAK. The matter
might have been settled amicably but for
the stubborn insistence of man to get all
the money he could out of a mishap.
James Nightwine sent his little daugh-
ter's cloak to the American Steam Laun-
dry to be cleaned, and through some over
sight it was "boiled." Manager E. H.

damage or buy a new cloak. When he

F. G. Andrieu, the keeper of coffee
house on Kearny street, near California,
was arrested by Deputy United States
Marshal Monckton yesterday, on war
rant charging him with uttering counter
felt United States coin.
Andrieu discharged one of his walters a
few days ago and paid him off with five 81
pieces, one of which was new counterfeit
OF good workmanship. The waiter de-
manded good coin in exchange for the
spurious one, but his request was denied,
and he then went to Secret Service Agent
Harris. That official endeavored to get
Andrieu to refund the money, but without
success, and he then had the waiter swear
ont warrant for the cafe mans arrest.
Andrieu was released on $500 bonds.
