WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.

The recent wonderful accomplish
ments in wireless telegraphy bring to
mind fOrcibly the value Of electricity.
1t is probable that much work will be
saved by means of this subtle fluid.
There is no limit to its possibilities.
Applied TO material objects, it causes
them to move as with life, while with
out it the human body cannot be strong
and healthy. The best means OF filling
the body with vitality, is by the use
OF Hostetters Stomach Bltters. Lack
OF life in the stomach causes indiges-
tion. dyspepsia, constipation, bilious
ness and malaria. Any of these symp-
toms means the bitters is needed at
once. Just now. when the seasons are
so variable. it is particularly valuable,
and a regular dose will keep the bowels
active and healthy.

TO PARIS IN 1900.

The passenger department Of the Chi
cago. Milwaukee & st. Paul railway
has taken advantage Of the current In
terest in the Paris Exposition and has
printed for free distribution one Of the
most charming books Of the season, en-
titled. 'Glimpses Across the Sea-" It's
contents describe recent voyage
across the Atlantic made by Sam T..
Clover. journalist and author. and in
cludes his diversified experiences in
London and Paris. The "Gllmpses'
are entertaining and instructive to the
prospective western patrons OF the Chi
cago. Milwaukee & st. Paul railway,
who may be contemplating a trip to
Europe. The enterprise Of the railway
company in auguraung such a happy
departure from the ordinary methods
Of advertising is commendable.

sHERMAN's FAREWELL.
Final Review Of Astoria Naval Re-
serves at the Armory Last
Night.

Lieutenant Commander Sherman held
a final review OF the local division of
the naval reserve at the armory last
night, and he will leave for Portland
today, where he viii tender his resig-
nation to the adjutant general prepar-
atory to entering upon his new duties
in San Francisco.
Both officers and men last night ex-
pressed many regrets over the proposed
departure of Commander Sherman, as
he has, since his brief period OF service
in the office, not only endeared himself
to his mon but has accomplished more
to place the battalion on a good, prac-
tical footing than any of his predeces-
sors in office. While Mr.. Sher-
man, in his modesty. disclaims the
great credit due him, officers high in
the department have had no hesitancy
in pronouncing his administration a
most excellent and capable one.
During his tenure of office comman-
der Sherman has succeeded in secur-
ing for his battalion a great increase
and Improvement in general equipment.
He secured cutter for the use Of the

SAY CURTIS IS NO ANGEL,
That Gentleman's Withdrawal Calls
Forth Some Forclble Comments.

rhc publication in yesterday morn
ing's Astorian OF an interview with C.
]. Curtis. la which that gentleman pro-
claimed his intention to withdraw from
the legislative fight before the repub-
lican county convention, caused some
what OF flutter In local political cir
cles. II likewise brought out an ex-
preston or two or three TO the effect
that Curtis is no political angel and
that II he doesn't wish TO stay In the
republican party, no one is going to
swell the Columbia with tears over the
consequence. Indeed, some OF the local
republicans, some Of those whom Mr..
Curtis asserts have Thrown i'm down."
are giving some very lucid reasons for
extending to him the marble heart.
One Of them, whose name Is withheld
from publication but which viii be
promptly revealed to interested parties
upon calling at this office, said yes
terday that the opposition TO Mr.. Cur
tls was not due to any push" ar
rangement but was fully premeditated;
by the rank and file Of the party;
that Mr.. Curtis record In the legisla-
ture had been anything but compli-
mentary to himself or his party and OF
positive injury to his constituents. De-
tails were given which are unnecessary
at this time to present, but the asser-
ton is boldly and broadly made that
during Mr.. Curtis last term he intro
duced no less than seventy bills and
not one Of them ever so much as ever
reached the final stage Of legislation.
More than this: 1t is alleged that
Mr.. Curtis not only presented that
number of bills which never passed but
ran away with one that was about to
pass In an endeavor to frustrate legis-
lation which he was, for some reason
or other, opposing.
Mr. Curtis conviction that the local
republican are endeavoring to shelve
him seems, therefore, to be fairly
founded. What the Citizens" may
try to do with him is bridge the
republicans are not yet crossing, but
which they say they will be found fully
prepared to deal with when they come
to It.

WEIGHTED DOWN
WITH CAR LINKS
SUICIDE FOUND IN THE RIVER
Body That Of a WeIl-Drsssed Man
Apparently Not LsbOrer-NOth-
Ing to Identify the Remains.

About II o'clock yesterday an en-
ploye Of the Astoria railroad at the
rOund.hOuse discovered the body OF q
man floating In the river near the
shore. The body had every appearance
Of Just having come to the surface and
Of having been in the water for some
time.
The coroner was notified and the
body taken to the morgue. Examlna-
tlon showed the man TO have been
about 20 years OF age: light hair and
eyes. smooth face. looking as II he had
been shaved shortly before death;
weight about $50 pounds, average
height II was dressed in a well made
dark coat and vest, light striped trou-
sers. dark oyercoat with velvet collar,
the underwear and shirt being OF good
quality. In fact the clothing and the
general appearance OF the oody indicates
the deceased was not a common la
borer.
Tied around the body underneath the
arms were two heavy coupling links,
evidently taken from cars standing in
the yards near by. The manner In
which the links were fastened about
the body leaves hardly lny reason to
doubt that II was case OF deliberate
suicide.
A most careful search OF the pockets
Of the clothing and Of the undercloth-
Ing for marks revealed absolutely moth
Ing that would lead to Identification.
The only thing the pockets contained
was a half-pint flask about half-full
OF whiskey.
chief OF Police Hallock Is satisfied
the man made careful preparations
for suicide and probably jumped into
the river near the spot where the body
came 10 the surface.
A large number OF people visited the
morgue yesterday and viewed ;he body
but no one was able 20 IDENTIFY the re-
mains. II is desired that all the bar
bers In the city call at the morgue this
morning and view the remains, as 1t
is more than likely the man was shaw
ed here shortly before his suicide. and
he may have said something to the
barber that would furnish a clew as
to his identity.

unless identified the remains win be

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
VIII Shed Much Light on the Jim Crow
Sands Dispute.

An important discovery has been
made In connection with the Jim Crow
sands dispute which undoubtedly will
go a long way toward deciding the
title TO that property.
When Ryan was originally in pos
session Of the property he set a num-
Der OF piles in the center Of the sands
which he was utilizing as seining
grounds. At some preceding date, dur
ing the process Of change of owner
ship, these piles suddenly disappeared
and had afterwards become forgotten
so far as their location was concerned.
A day or two ago representative
OF the Columbia River Packers Asso-
citation. which claims a two-thirds in
terest in the sands, against the con-
tention Of Cook & Enyard to the con-
trary, but who, Notwithstanding, have
remained in possession OF the premises,
accidentally discovered stump of
one Of the old piles which had evident
ly been sawed of. Yesterday a party
OF surveyors visited the premises at
the instance Of the packers association,
and discovered whole raft" of saw
ed-oif piles which had been submerged
by the shifting of the sands. The
stdmps were found to be exactly in the
center OF the claim as originally desig-
mated in the Ryan deeds.
A hearing in the case will come up
before Judge Mcbride in Portland to-
morrow evening, when no doubt the
discoveries of yesterday will be sprung
with much effect.
