also real that announced with regret
the impossibility of President Rcose-
welt visiting here during his western
tour. The dispatch was in reply to
the invitation extended by the cham
ber TO the president to .isit Astoria.
Effort is being made by the chamber
to have the marine guide light ren;ov-
ed from It's present position near the
foot of Tenth street to 4 position more
suitable for the purpose. As it is 1t
is quite impossible 20 see the light ex-
cepting by those who are directly in
front OF II and its transfer TO u more
commanding position is urgently dtsir-
ed. The committee on commerce and
navigation last night announced its in
tention to push the matter and see that
1t is tfoperly attended to.
Judge Bowlby gave an interesting
talk on the subject OF introducing pros
pective settlers to the resources of the
country
The matter of having in some avail
able shape the local property rarticu-
larly farms, that are for sale, was dis
cussed and further advice will be Lad
on the subject.
Six new names were added to the roll
of membership during the meeting.

II has developed that the derelict, re-
ported by the French bark Neumayer

schooner dlsmasted and laden with lum

Omega while outside and her skipper
announced he had sighted a small craft
evidently some fishing smack, and
that she vas In a wrecked condition,
but, as a mooring line was hanging
from her bow 1t was quite apparent
she had broken loose from some harbor
and drifted TO sea and that her Toss had
provoked SO little interest that no at
tempt had been made to retake her.
After learning that the Tatoosh cruis-
ed about for time but saw nothing of
the craft. The Neumayer must have
been very much mistaken or there are
two derallcts of the mouth and the for

Mr.. Malarksy, with O. NJ. Stafford, A..
Wickline, sld James Miller came from
Portland last Wednesday evening and
went across the river for that urpose
BY registering at two hotels on his ar
rival. Mr.. Miller created an air Of mys-
terry which led to the reports OF foul
play. etc, which were entirely un-
founded. He registered and left his
baggage at the Central. and then went
TO the oceldent. where he put up for
the night. leaving for Grays river on
the next day. That he forgot where he
left his baggage may be due 10 the
brand Of nerve tonic he used.

The Woman With a Club

An angry woman and a large club
have bestowed upon Walter Reed of
Portland "udden notice that years OF
assidIous endeavor could hardly attain.
Reed Is n married man, but this did
not prevent him from paying attention
TO Miss Matte Hildebrand, daughter OF
widow who runs millinery store.
II seems that Mrs Hilderbrand had
warned Reed once and then twice, but
the third time she didn't say word,
but did things with large club. Reed
runs an optical store and on this Mrs.
Iilldebrand did the Carrie Nation act,
Reed hid when he saw her coming and
since her departure has been picking
up the pieces.

For some time previous TO the day
upon which the great Chilean earth
quake of August, 1857, occurred great
swarms of crabs of an unknown va
riety were seen in the bay of Payta.
They all appeared to be greatly cxcit-
ed and were literally climbing over
each other in their efforts to escape the
impending calamity.
How they knew that the earthquake
was collecting it's strength to desolate
the coast is more than man can say,
but that they knew something unusual
was alb Jut to happen there is no doubt
whatever.
That there were millions of them
may he inferred from the report of DIR.
Forbes, who says that ten days after
the earthquake the dead crabs were
thrown upon the beach in a wall-like
line three or four feet wide along the
whole extent of the bay"

Over GOO Lives Lost.

Full particulars were recently re-
ceived from the Samoan islands in
regard to the terrible hurricane which
visited those islands and in which
over 600 lives were lost. Such loss
is appalling, but after all i not to be
compared with the number of per
sons who have lost their lives from
Indigestion, dyspepsia and constipa-
ton and other stomach troubles. The
number has, however. been considera-
bly, reduced since the Introduction of
Hostctter's Stomach Bitters, 80 years
ago, because it positively cures all
such ailments. Your life and health
are too precious to experiment with,
therefore try this famous remedy
first of all and Je cured at once. 1t
won't disappoint YOU. The genuine
has our private stamp over the neck
of the bottle.
