bacco.
Anton Gunderson and Nicolai Peterson,
of Puget Island, relatives of Peter
Ange, who was drowned the other
day from the deck OF THE Dwyer,
were in the city yesterday to see what
could be done towards recovering the
body. They stated that the young man
was Is years old instead of q years, as
given in the published accounts.
1t was learned yesterday that Elmer
Moody. aged % years, was drowned at his
logging camp below Burnside point. 1t
seems that the men were working with a
donkey engine sliding logs. into the river.
Young Moody was ait the fool Of the Hill
keeping the logs from jarnming, when me
fell over, in some -unaccountable
and vas lost to sight in THE water. His
body was recovered in o. few minutes. but
death had occurred.

1t has been a surprise to many that
curing the recent storm THE glass has
stood higher than at any time in two
years past. When asked his opinion of
the strange occurrence, yesterday, Wealth
er Recorder Grover said that the only ex-
PLANTATION he could offer was the fact that
just at the present time Astoria was about
the meeting point of two different
weather areas. In one area the glass is
high Ind the atmospheric conditions here
seem to have followed that, while the
wind and rain came from the other area
where tine glass was low and storme pre-
vailed.
Speaking of buttons, q well known poll
tician remarked yesterday THAT the cam
paign button is becoming more and more
a factor in politics as the years roll by.
Formerly its use was restricted to those
who wore 1t as an alleged ornament, but
now men of all classes use 1t, not so
much as an adjournment, but TO save time
IN talking. The man who wears q cam,
pdi6h 'UuItoH saves naVlnS mis- 1eelfngS
hurt, In many instances, but also profes.
sfonal politicians realize that a man who
wears the button of either party is ape
to be a person whose political convictions
are already too well settled for argument.

they are "a years of age their parents
have legal control over them and THAT IL

constable returned something over Sc in
money, a pistol, dime novel and Jack
knives found on THE boys when captured.
1t was learned that out of the small
amount of money they had $500 for a
pistol and Is cents for dime novels was
spent in the NehalemL The pernicious
effects of such literature on The minds OF
growing boys cannot be over estimated.
