legislature are replete with Interesting
incidents. and before final adjournment

It's work well. but the populists In the
lower house are beginning to fight by
insisting on their bills being passed.
Today matters were brought to a head
and II is certain that during the re-
malulng days the two houses WIN be-
come very unfriendly. The members
of the house got mixed up badly this
afternoon and an adjournment for sup
per was the only thing that averted
tangie that would have been very
difficult 10 unravel. Such a state OF af-
fairs was not unexpected. however. as
the trouble all arose over an attempt
to consider the senate amendments 10

house without the amendments being
attached OF the clerk and when an at
tempt was made to read II to compare
such amendments with the bill as pass
ed by the house. every member was
soon at sea and could not make heads
or tails out OF the Measure After a
wrangle and a number Of motions to
amend, some one brought relief by
moving TO adjourn for supper and Il
carried with dissenting vote. What
action the friends Of the bill will now
take Is a matter of guesswork.
The senate devoted all the afternoon
session to the consideration OF appro-
lpriatons, and many recommendations
OF the committee were raised. Adjourn

by hundreds OF friends who knew her
In life as a kind and sympathetic
mother. companion and friend. She had
become quite feeble in late years from

NEAR TO DEATH.
Ex-United States Senator ]. N. Dolph
Thought to Be Dying.

Portland. March s.-Ex-United States
Senator J. N. Dolph today had his left
leg amputated above the knee and 1t
is thought that he will not recover from
the shock. His condition tonight is
critical The amputation was rendered
necessary from the fact that blood
poisoning from wound in the leg had
set in.
For several years Mr.. Dolph has been
suffreer from kidney complaint, but
his condition was not considered serious
until last Saturday. when the wound
on his leg began to give him serious
trouble. 1t was discovered that blood
poisoning had set in. and at a consul
tation of physicians today it was de-
cided that the only hope for recovery
was amputation. Mr.. Dolph stood the
operation bravely. but his age renders
it improbable that he will recover from
its effects.

THE BEST YET.
Practical and Original Suggestion as to
Advertising Astoria.

Astoria, March S.--Cro the Editor. y
In Thursdays Astorian l read an ar
tlcle copied from the New York Her
aid in reference 10 new hotel to be
erected In that great city, said hotel
10 be called The Astoria" after our
own dear town, founded by John Jacob
Astor. and II occurs to fme that the
people OF Astoria are thus afforded
an elegant opportunity to show their
appreclation of the honor and to adver-
tlse the place.
Ny idea would be 10 engage the ser
vices Of some great painter for the
purpose of putting upon canvas the
beautiful and advantageous location OF
city. A number Of the principal man.
ufacturing and business houses could
be- painted as n border around the
whole, with picture of John Jacob
Astor in 1.-The corner. Put underneath
the words: Astoria, the Bee Hive OF
the Pacific, founded by John Jacob
Astor."
Let such a painting be presented tc
the descendants of John Jacob Astor
with the Ncompliments of our citizens
and the request that they give 1t a
prominent place in the lobby of that
great hotel, and l firmly believe that
It will prove beneficial alike to AS
torla and to the many investors, cap
italists and spectators who usually
select the best hotels during their pleas
ure or business trips.
\ good painting is more permanent
and will attract the attention and in
terest of more people than all tbs
wIite-ups of Pet Doughnuts ever did
and | believe that the Astors than
selves will be surprised to see one Of
their fathers masterpieces and thus
become Interested in Astoria.
This is but one idea; there may b'
others

an edict Of the emperor. The subsid-
larry coinage Of the country will remain
untouched and free coinage will be
abolished from the date Of the prompl-
