Bear Hunting In Astoria's Suburbs.

You are thinking about going bear
hunting, eh?" remarked Samuel Fillmore,
the largest salmon packer on the Column
bia river, when one of his acquaintance
expressed desire to bag some big game.
well, If you want to get plenty of bears
without much trouble, go to Astoria"
astoria is nice little city of about 49,
900 Inhabitants, but half mile south OF
the custom house is virgin forest skirting
Young's river and the Lewis and Clarke.
The forest stretches eastward to the Villa
mette valley and is full of elk, deer and
bear.
"In the summer time during tho pack
ing season thousands upon thousands OF
salmon heads are thrown into the Column
bia river off the water front. The tide car
ries them around into Youngs bay and
they drift up on the beach.
BEARS, like cats, are wild for fish. They
will leave q beehive to get a salmon head,
and the result is that great numbers Of
them come down from the mountains to
the beach to feast on salmon heads. Many
people set big log traps baited with salmon
in the timber along the beach and many
bears are trapped every year almost within
gunshot of the custom house, San Fran

morning a swarm of bees from some neigh

the hive of the new settlers and completely

enter the hive, and it became completely
filled.
A loud buzzing noise was heard, and the
work Of destruction Immediately ensued
The winged combatants then left the hive,
and furious battle commenced in upper
air between the two parties. They were so
thick in the air that they appeared over
head like small cloud. The fight ragged
with fury for some time. Hundreds Of
bees were dropping to the ground dead and
wounded. The victory was awarded to the
first settlers who dropped on an adjacent
apple tree and were afterward put back in
their hive, apparently satisfed.-Cincin-

Queer Results of London Hot Weather.

The new ailment which is said to have
been produced on rather an extensive scale
as u result Of the action of the prolonged
dry weather on wood pavements of the
London streets chiefly affects the mucous
membrane of the nose.
The membrane, according to The Hos
pital, becomes in1amcd and thickened, the
blood vessels are turgid, and on very slight
provocation there is bleeding to consid-
cradle amount.
The affection is said to be due to the
millions of small particles of straw and
other debris that lie in the wake of the
vast horse traffic which from morn till
midnight congests the leading London
thoroughfares 1t is gratifying to learn
that the flushing of the principal thorough
fares with water and certain percentage
of disinfectant is believed to have had an
effect in staying the disease.-New York

DRY would select as England's poet

IN either case the selection would be un-
fortunate. Henley is one of the most brill

a ''new school,, in which there IS but
little to charm the popular ear. Ills "libe-

Oury would be his violent and consistent
toryism. Sir Edwin Arnold, on the other
hand, is but little better fitted for the
post. There has been only one poet
Arnold in this century, and his first
name was Edwin. Surely it Is not likely
that the conservative tastes of England
would approve the appointment to the
post of official rhymester of man whose
greatest work has been done under the
inspiration of people, climate and a
celigion SO wholly foreign to England as
are the subjects of Sir EdWin's lImdOo

A NEW FRUIT STORE.

On September Is last, the new Plym-
1uth fruit and lunch department store
was opened in the basement OF the Cor
ain block by Mr. w. +. Rentschler, and
since that time the enterprise of this
Young man has been watched with con
siderable interest by the general pubic.
it was a business venture, however, oil
the ultimate success of which Mr..
Rentschler had the utmost confidence
and the patronage accorded him within
the past month proves his good Judg'
ment in the matter
Previous to entering into this bust
ness for himself Mr. RentSchler was
connected for nearly a year with the
well known grocery and QueensWare
store of w +. Leonard, and for four
gears previous TO that was connected
with the also We'll known fruit and con
dictionary store Of \. NJ. Fuller These
connections have given him 4 business
experience which is valuable. While
the Corbin building was being erected
he conceived the idea of entering into
business for himself. He endeavOred
to secure a section on the ground floor
but was unable TO do SO and As result
ne finally concluded to take the base
ment. His idea of the business was to
open a fruit ana confectionery store
and a short order lunch room that
would be first class in every respect and
that he has done this the general public
vii; now bear witness. His stock of
confectionery is particularly fine and is
selected for its purity, excellence, del
icacy and fine flavor at prices to retail
from ten to fifty cents per pound. His
fruit display is choice and is supplied
from the earliest markets. Oranges
dre already shown in his stock.
Mr. Rentschlers lunch counter gives
Lean, quick, first class service at low
prices. His oyster tables are separated
from the main room by very pretty
Greens AMI the whole scheme of ar
range:nent is such as to be pleasing
and convenient. Ills trade has already
proven that there was a demand for
u.St the kind of business that he has
-iarted and success is already assured.
