One of the new fads is mems socks for
women. There is q rumor prevalent
that some wives wear the trousers,
but no one imagined that the socks
would be appropriated. If the women
continue the invasion OF the wardrobe
Of the men there will be mighty few
articles of wearing apparel that a man
can cali his own. His hat, shirt, vest,
coat, collar, tie and socks are gone.

Of employers or employees could be
guilty Of being party TO an act which
would result in an injury Of such mag
nitude to both as would the failure OF
the Lewis and Clark exposition to the
contractors and to the merchants OF
Portland. The fair itself calls for an
outlay OF many thousands of dollars
for labor, ana the Immediate result viii
probably be a greatly Increased activ-
ity in the building trades all over the
city, and yet the present differences Of
opinion threatens to destroy the pros-
pect for an abundance OF work, and
the hopes of those who are laboring
for a greater Oregon as well. 1t is
bad enough for two dogs to quarrel
over bone and both lose it, but when
the scene is enacted by men as is
too often the case, it becomes deplor-
able. 1t is to be hoped that the dt~
ferences vii, soon be adjusted and en-
terprise be allowed 20 proceed. The
defeat OF the exposition at this stage
would be sad blow to the state and
would injure the whole northwest. 1t
would be thousand times worse than
il 1t never had been begun.

THE AsToRIAN PUBLISHING CO.,
HOW TO BUILD A HOTEL.

The observations OF recent writer
on the need of a frst-class hotel in
Astoria are well made. The city does
need such an Institution and can well
afford 10 possess it. Not that it is now
impossible 10 secure first-class meal
and good, comfortable bed in our
present places of entertainment, for
such is far from being the case. But
for appearance sake, for the sake OF
many who demand and are willing to
pay for something better than we now
offer, and for the sake of being able to
properly take care Of a crowd when
crowd comes to town, we need sight
ly and commodious hotel.
A city is variously estimated by its
location, favorable site, business -oppor-
tunities. output and payrolls of indus
tries, the character of its leading peo-
pie, and the appearance Of its public
buildings The last is by far the least
OF the influences which determine the
staying or going CT desirable citizens.
The appearance Of business houses does
not count for so much with intending
investors. There are not now large
number of vacant business rooms in
Astoria, but even in the event of a
boom some Of them would remain un-
used, because business men prefer to
erect buildings suited to their needs.
But schools and church buildings, city
and county buildings and hotels are
supposed TO be provided by the enter
prise Of the citizens who. besides want
ing the best of such institutions for
their own sake, have pride in their
city ami a confidence in it's future
which justifies them in adding some
thing for the sake of the influence of
a good appearance.
However, desirable as is this feature
OF civic Improvement, 1t would be i'm
pclitic to agitate It under present cir
cumstances. Present hotel facilities
will have to suffice until civic pride
gets swelled up by the sawdust from
two or three more large mills, until
more ships are loaded at our wharves
and more factory smoke clouds the at
mosphere. Public pride is yet hardly
above plank streets. It cannot be arous-
ed by agitation or by any other means
half so effectually as by that bracing
feeling which creeps up the backbone
when we know that our bank account
Is large and growing faster than that
Of our neighbors. Just keep the In
dustrlal expansion fad, get the wheels
to buzzing and plenty of overalls on
the move and the rest will comeeasy.
The man With the deep sack will be
glad 10 get in or be let in, and the
big hotels will come Of themselves when
we wake up to our possibilities and get
50 much business going in Astoria that
hungry investors have to bring their
tents along when they come to Astoria.

MEXICAN MONEY PASSED
DURING RUSH OF CARNIVAL

Columbus, Ind, Oct. l. Some
time ago large quantity of Mexican
half dollars were put in circulation in
this city and the saloonkeepers We're
the chief sufferers. Nothing was heard
of the Mexican money for the last
few weeks. but now there are sever
al Mexican five-dollar bills in .circula-
tion. The cigar and tobacco stores
have been duped more than any one
else.
In the hurry and hustle of carnival
week the clerks have not had time to
notice that they were taking Mexican
money, and at the close of business
yesterday the business men found
that any number of the bogus bills
had been passed. An extra large po-
lice force is on this week. and an ef-
fort is being made to detect whoever
is passing the money.

Perrysville. Ind. Oct. /. - Jonas
Ballah. a well-tO-do farmer living near
this city. has renounced his resolve to
end his life and is devoting his time
to cutting corn after five distinct at
tempts at suicide within thirty-six
hours. Jonas has had domestic trOu-
bic, and on Sunday went to a drug
store and purchased two ounces Of
laudanum and drank it. The end was
a trifie slow in coming. so he. swaI-
lowed carbolic acid. Physicians saved
him.
Monday, armed with rope, he went
into hewOods near his house and fixed
moose, which he carefully placed
around his neck. He climbed a tree
and leaped down. He had miScalcu-
lated. and at the moment he expected
to feel the rope tighten around his
neck his feet struck the ground with
a fearful jolt. Jonas tried again. This
time he struck the ground with less
force. so he tried just once more and
failed again. In disgust he forgot the
nervous shock and went into his field
to cut corn.

Gonzales Statement Used Against
James H. Till
man.

Lexington, S. c., Oct. lin the trial
of James H. Tillman for the murder
of Editor Gonzales the court decided
that the EDITORS ante-mOrtem statement
should be admitted. 1t was as fol-
lows: He said that he had left The
State Office to go to dinner; he was
walking along Main street towards the
state capitol, and he got nearly to the
city railway transfer station when he
saw Jim Tillman coming from the cap
itol with two men whom he did not
recognize.
He said he saw that If he kept on
the course he would brush against
these men. and to avoid them, he cut
diagonally across the pavement toward
the corner of the transfer station, and
as he was going across he saw Till
man pull a big pistol and shoot. He
said that he turned and faced him and
exclaimed ''shOOt again, you coward.
You have killed me-" He looked Till
man in the face and Tillman held the
pistol toward him, but did not shoot.

that Is to close the centennial festival

and threatening rain that it was
thought best to postpone this feature.
Meanwhile, the Indians, we have al
ways with us, as it were, and they
continue to draw. The stock yards,
Indian games, rowing and swimming
contests of the A. A. T., and d. A
r. reception served to entertain the
sight-seers on the fifth day of the fes-
tiYal.
There was a pathetic tone given the
proceedings at the Indian camp by the
fact that lying dead in one of the
tents was little White Hawk, ;
months old, con of the Winnebagos

death was the result. probably, of the

LAKE WATER BETTER
THAN THAT OF RIVER
Expresses a Pref
erence.

Chicago. Oct. 1--Comparisons were
drawn between the waters of Lake
Michigan and the Illinois river at the
hearing of the interstate canal case,
through the cross-examination OF Pro-
fessor John II. Long, the expert who
has proved n strong witness of the
drainage canal attorneys. Assistant
Attorney General Jeffries. OF Mlssou-
ri, asked the witness-''Does your OBJ
lection also extend to the water of
Lake Micnigan?"
Il cannot say that it does" declared
the professor. But 1 would not care
to drink the lake water if it received
such sewage as Is discharged into
these rivers.
How does this river water now
compare with that of Lake Michi-
gan?"
Il must admit" said the witness.
that still prefer the lake water. be
cause it stands to reason that the riv-
er carries more organic matte. Still
the Chicago sewage is practically de-
stroyed before the Mississippi river is
reached"
