Of Nehalem people for assistance in OBJ
tanning a better road to Astoria, is
well worthy the careful consideration OF
every merchant in the city. 1t is plainly
evident, from the statements mada from
time to time, that the farmers OF the
Walluski and the citizens OF Nehal IN
are doing all they can 10 secure passable
roads to the county seat, and it is hardly
necessary to point out the advantages
that would accrue to the city from good
roads. A very large amount Of trade
Is lost to Astoria every year becuase Of
the miserable county roads It would
well repay the merchants Of the city II
they should pay half the cost OF con-
Etructing two or three main roads TO the

seohiach or chest, nausea, vomiting. headache,
uiAAiness nervousness, neuralgia. flatulence.
constipation, mental depression. weakness. Ian
guor. loss Of appetite and other similar symp-
toms, you are injected with the poisons of uu-
digested food.
your stomach needs help.
A dime spent for a sample bottle of the Sha-
kef Digestive Cordial will show you whether
OF not to expect help from that source.
II you really are dyspeptic, it will relieve
you after few doses. If it does, keep on till
you're cured. If not, don't take any more
yonre no ayspeptic.
Indigestion or dyspepsia is dreadful dis
order, all the more that so few people believe
IN its dangerousness.
That is because they don't die of Indigestion,
Dct OF rheumatism, consumption, pneumonia,
and other diseases which they would never
have 'scaught" If their bodies hadn't been
starred and a0eakened with Indigestion.
Shaker Digestive Cordial acts on the food In
your stomach and helps the digestive juices to
dissolve it. In this way it aids your stomach
to do its work without effort and creates new
strength and life for your whole body.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Cotton King.

VIM. A. BradJ's Cotton King, which
is to be presented Monday evening, Sept.
81, at Portland theatre, is essentially a
z ston production as it was originally
tkne in that city at the Bowdoin Square
tnvatre and ran there for many weeks
When the play was produced In London
all who saw it were delighted with it and
1t has been the same everywhere since
then, Chicago and New York falling into
line aud endorsing the London and
Boston verdict. 1t is story of love and
deals with factory life in England, but
does not at any time tread upon the dam
gerous ground of the labor question. Its
dialogues are crisp and bright, 1t does
not depend upon cheap mechanical effects
for it's success. Over SIC, 600 has been
expended upon the scenery for the Cot
ton King this season, and the most ex-
psnsive cast Manager Brady could secure
from the vass army of actors of America
will present it.

Capt. Staples of the Ill Fated james Dyer
Tells About the Loss of His vessel

Capt. Staples of the ill-fated schooner
James Dyer which was run down on Sat-
urday by the coal steamer Reading
while off Gay Head, and which sank in
seven minutes from the time she was
struck. was in the city yesterday. He
has libsllsd the Reading through the
United States court and hearing on
the libel will soon be held and 1t NAV
OCCUR in this city. Capt. Staples told a
PRESS reporter about the accident, a
brief account of which has already been
published in the PRESS. He said that
it was foggv night and the James
Dyer was to the westward of Cav head
at 30 o'clock in the morning. The wind
was blowing about two miles an hour
and the schooner was sailing on the
port tack, blowing her horn at regular
intervals. Suddenly the steamer was
made on the lee bow running at full
speed. She struck the schooner just
art OF the main rigging and with such
force as to cut her almost in two. A
man who was standing at the wheel was
thrown over the vessels rail and into
seine boat alongside by the force of the
collision. The Dyer sunk IN seven min
uIes after she was struck and the crew.
all OF whom were saved, lost every thing
except the clothes they wore. The loss
OF the schooner was a severe blow to
Capt. Staples, VINO lives on Swan Island,
and who is we'll known in this city.
He blames the steamer Reading for the
accident, which he thinks was due to
oarelessness on the part of her officers
or crew. Benz. Thompson, Esq, of this
city has been engaged by Capt. Staples
rs his counsel.

ALONG THE WHARvEs.
Items of Interest Picked Up Along the
Water Front.

1 he schooner John S. Ames Is dis
charging coal at the Grand Trunk wharf.
Several other vessels are on the way here
from Cape Breton with coal for this road.
The winter time table Of the Casco Bay
Steamboat company will go into affect
on Monday, September 81. The Forest
Queen will be the only boat in use by
this company during the winter She
has been out of service for some time and
has been completely renovated and re-
paired for the winters campaign. The
Pilgrim will go out of commission on
Monday and will be laid up for the
winter at Custom House wharf. She has
proved great attraction for the 'Casco
Bay company and Manager 9. W. Il.
Cooling is well pleased with the service
she has performed. The other steamers
of this company are now out of commits
sion and will be laid up for the winter
near the Pilgrim.
The only fresh arrival yesterday of any
size and in fact the first one for many
days, was the Maud S., Captain j. s..
Seavey, which brought in fifty barrels of
mackerel. This schooner has been one of
the most successful of the fishing feet
this summer,
The scarcity of fish arrivals and of fish
is due to the heavy weather which has
prevented the fishermen from getting
outside and making large hauls, ana also
prevented them from getting into this
port during the last ten days. The fisher
men say the season has been a most
prosperous one for some and correspond
ingly disastrous for others engaged in
the fishing business.
The tug Seguin Of Bath arrived here
yesterday and towed the schooner Nor.
msndie to the Kennebeo where she will
load with Ice.
The tug Tamaqua towed into port the
keystone GOAL barge with cargo for
Randall & McAllister.
The schooner Alicia B. Crosby which
has been discharging cargo of Cape
Breton coal OF the Boston and Maine
wharf yesterday was towed through the
bridges to the lower harbor. She will
go to Cape Breton for another cargo for
49,
this port
1t was very Thick and heavy outside
yesterday and large feet of weather
bound coasters lie at anchor in the lower
roads waiting for the wind to change.
The harbor master was obliged to make
several trips down the harbor during the
afternoon to keep the channel open.
As soon as the weather clears the tugs
Belknap and CorneIia will tow to
Camden Hamilton's dredging fleet.
where Mr.. Hamilton has taken a con-
tract to do large amount of government
dredging. It will require several months
to complete the work there The tow
boat Willard Clapp, belonging to Mr..
Hamilton, will accompany the dredging
feet and remain at Camden to do the
towing.
If Secretary Carlisle WAS visitor to
Portland on Wednesday on the govern
mems lighthouse tender John Rodgers 1t
must have been some time between dark
ness and daylight, for NOBODY saw the
Rodgers along the water front, and there
were no Indications OF her having teen
in here. The lighthouse tender Geranium
was at anchor in the lower harbor a
while on Wednesday and probably the
story of the John Rodgers visit arose
from confusion of the two boats.
