free to confess that the results attained
are of the most fattering nature and
rich in promise for those who shall in

fold the new source of wealth made easy
by bountiful nature and the pro-
found study Of DR.. Day.
There Is a potent suggestion in all
this to the city and citizens Of Astoria.
The main facts are at hand; the black
sands of this neighborhood are rich in
mineral values; the sources of supply
are inexhaustable and easy of access;pro
cesses and machinery required in the
reduction Of the sands to commercial
substance and form. comparatively sim

transportation and market, conclusively

known in her century of existence.

A LITTLE STEALTH. "Let Not Thy Left Hand Know What Thy Right Hand Doeth," EsPe- ciaIIy When the Left is
 Bit Cranky.

Some of the most lOvable and best people in the world are cranky and "leetle" hard to manage, particularly when you want to do them good. Then it is that justifiable and righteous art fitness may be resorted to. As, for in stance, in the following case given by a devoted wife and mother, in Iowa.
 "This spring my daughter, who is teacher, became convinced that coffee was doing her harm, as it caused dis tress and belching after eating. She felt that she needed a warm drink in the morning but disli1ed hot water or milk. Then our daily use of Grape Nuts suggested POstum.
 "FOr some time my husband, who has been a user of coffee from his youth, had been more than usually troubled with sleeplessness and ner- vousness and I felt that Postum might be helpful to him. The question was, how to persuade them to leave off drinking coffee and try POstum, against which they had repeatedly expressed prejudice. I resolved to try an eXperi- ment and make the test.
 Without acquainting them with the fact I made Postum according to directions but added a teaspoonful of good coffee. I poured it out with some misgivings, but was delighted to see that no one could tell from it's ap- pearance that it was not rich, strong coffee Its use was continued for a week with the coffee addition. then that was gradually withdrawn, until only the pure Postum remained, and still the change had not been detected.
 Two things were very noticeable, however. that my daughter had begun to rapidly improve in health, her dys- pepsia left, and my husband was en- toying sweet, refreshing sleep.
 When I ventured to tell them what had done, he asked for a return to the coffee, and I gladly made it for him; but one day satisfied him, the old sleeplessness came back and he told me he liked the Postum better. So we nave used it ever since to the benefit of the whole family Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

Shot Wife and Self.

A telegram received here Thursday of
last week contained the information
that Harry w. Leavitt had committed
suicide at laremont junction, n. II.
after first shooting his wife. The mes.
sage was sent here from the fact that In
the pocket of the dead mans coat was
found an envelope addressed to John ID
Symons of this place. 1t seems that Mr..
Leaytt and his wife we're factory opera
tiyes and had worked at Varions places in
Maine, among them Oakland and New
port, and for the three months proceed
ing November lat in this place in the
finishing loom of the Marston Mills.
Mrs Leavitt as burler and Mr.. Leavitt
as pressman.
Their little child was taken i'll in Oct.
ober al d the mother went with il to a
Portland hospital bu: returned here and
continued her work in the mill The
child lived but a short time and the
sorrow at its loss seemed too deep in
connection with other matters, led to the
wish with both father and mother that
they should live no longer.
Mr. and Mis-. Leavitt left here Nov. 3
They hired mileage books of John d
eymonds and the envelope found in
Leavtt's pocket was one given them for
the purpose of returning the mileages
by mail. Those who knew them here
state that their domestic relations ap
peared pleasant and recall nothing about
them that would give the impression
that either would seek self destruction.

the past three months, had been totally
blind. He had consulted the best
specialists in this state and in Boston
aud been carefully examined by them

growth at the base of the brain which
pressed upon the optic nerve and des-
troyed the sight. His case was a serious
one and an operation was the only
chance of saving his life. He decided to
take this chance and submit 10 the oper
alton, fully realizing its dangers and
that he could not live long without it
He went to the Carney oepital in south
Boston the fourth of November in com
pany with Herbert WEIGH where he was

cover from the effects of the ether until
between II and l o. lock in the after
noon. He was then fully conscious and
his condition quite hopeful. lila condi-
tions continued favorably until Friday
morning, after which he rapidly failed.
The funeral service was held at the
home of Mr.. WEIGH at Q o'clock, Tues
day afternoon, and was conducted by
Rev. H =. Ryder. His age was "a years
months and 10 days. The inter- cnt
was by the side of his mother in the
cemetery at East Madison.

fession having thoroughly fitted himself

school. Then graduating from the State
Normal school at Pennington, Me in the
year 1896 and also from the advance
course in the following 1897. From here

A Fairfield Fire.

The southerly end of the pulp mill of
the Somerset division of the Unite d
Box Board & Paper Co, containing the
machine chop and wet room, WAS burned
fiat, Monday, and operations In the en-
tire mill are suspended for at least a
week until temporary arrangements are
made. Two hundred employees are idle.
The fire started in the machine shop
and although it spread rapidly through
that portion of the mill, the local fire
department and mill brigade were able
TO confne 1t to two departments In the
southerlv end OF the building.
Supt. Edwin F. Parker said 1t WAS i'm
possible to estimate the loss as the ma
chinery was expensive. The loss on the
building alone is rising $40, 900. The
mill was entered three wears ago In the
United Box Board & Paper Co., which
has lite main office in New York city
The product is used mostly by the Hol-
l'ngsworth. Whitney Co. mills at Water
vile and other Maine towns but the cut
ting off Of the supply will cause little in
convenience.

DIR. Geo. . Smith at Portland.

The following mention of lecture
delivered by DIR. Geo. O. smith of this
place at Portland, Monday evening, the
10Th, is given by US from the daily
papers.
DR.. George Otis Smith, United
states geol0gist, gave lecture on the
mineral wealth of the United States, at
The rooms of the Natural History Society
at Portland. Monday evening DR..
Smith has had a wide experience in
these matters and his lecture was most
Instructive and entestaining. He de-
voted bis time largely to the mole i'm
poltant mineral resources taking those
whose output exceeded five millions of
dollars In value per year. OF these,
coal was the leader and iron second,
the Uni ed Suates producing one third
of the output of the world In these two
minerals Copper comes next, and ON
this subject DR. Smith dwelt at some
lengt b on lhis remarkable change i'll the

put as compared with the tint when
It Was used mostly for copper toes and
copper cents
Following along were petroleum, gold
silver, lead, zinc, cement, building
stone, clay, mineral waters, salt, etc
Attention was called to the high value
OF the coarser and, TO the eye, unin-
teresting metals. as compared to thote
generally considered more valu ,ble,
like gold and silver and the precious
stones
He showed that a dollars worth CT
granite mined in Maine was worth
much more to the state than dollars
worth of silver mined IN Nevada. as
much more of the dollar went to those
who did the mining and was therefore
left in the state in larger proportion
than the dollar represented by the
precious metals.
Dir. Smith spoke Enthusiastically on
the resources of Maine, represented by
its numerous granite, slate and lime
stone quarries In granite it led all
states and might be appropriately
called the Granite State.

was on him like bulldog and fell on the
oval on Harvard's 81 yard line
With this unexpected advantage
Yale's attack became the tiercest ever
seen on football field, and after a
series of terrific plungers, which tore
HarVard's defence to tatters, the ball
was worked TO the goa! line, where
Forbes again distinguished himself by
making the only touchdown of the game
From this touchdown Hoyt kicked an
easy goal and the victory was Yale's
Up To that time 43, 600 spectators saw
superb struggle. Harvard, trained to
the minute and ready to hight TO the last
ditch, sprang surprise from the very
outset that not only astounded the i'm

lack of speed, which WAS shown up by
the swiftness of Yale's plays, Harvard
