NOTES OF INTEREST
FROM LONG BEACH

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, April 4.-Fern Hasty,
G years old, was run down and severely
bruised last night near Fourth street
and Linden avenue by a bieyelist, The
girl was picked up by women living
near and her wounds dressed. The bicy-
clist did not stop to render assistance
or to inquire as to how badly the little
tot was hurt.

how they did It.
Then there we're the famous Siamese

off twin, had sore foot last night, so
they could not dance, but that is prom

In this show were also the South At

his wonderful musical pigs, playing on

spielers Are a Whole Show
w. ]. Rouse, or Billy, as he is better
known Is the director Of the side show,
and at least half of the best part of the
performance was the spieler, Doc
Robert, on the outside. A. 2. Chipron
performed a similar duty inside, telling
the. public the wonders Of the show.
George Goldsmith was in charge of
the concert and he was one Of the big
four who made the supreme hit of the
after circus performance. Youngworth,
Bryson and Krohn were the other
members of the quartet and they APP
peared in a London speciality called
THE Old Maids" 1t was really not at
all difficult to see why they never were
married, at least in feminine garb. The
Bradys James and Kitty, opened the
concert with bag punching exhibition
and Voitle and Preher in a fashion
plate stunt, and the great Treloar were
other attractions.
The menagerie was in charge of DR..
G. McGarvin. A rare collection of ami
mails from all over the world was ex-
hibited, including some stuffed ele-
plants of the toy shop variety that
could not be fed or teased, some Shrine
zebras, painted in brilliant orange and
black, a Maud of the hee-haw variety
and other marvels never seen in any
other show.
John H. Nightingale 6was the boss

the press agent, went around slappine
everybody on the back, declaring his
pipe dream had come true and the
Shrine Society Circus was surely the
real thing. Chester w. Thompson, the
manager, and Robert Wankowski, the
treasurer, were the two busiest mer
in the camp, and General Wankowsk

LONG BEACH, April 4.-Would
pretty 18-year-old Elsie Granada have
committed suicide this morning had she
not suddenly been seized with an cpl
leptic fit just as she was about TO at
tempt to drown herself?
The police are confident that the
Young girls life would have come to
this tragic termination, and her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. p. Granada, ad-
mitted that the girl had frequently
threatened to kill herself, and sister
Miss Emma Granada, stated that she
had heard this threat repeated early
this morning.
However, the other members of the
family did not fear that the girl would
do as she threatened and when she
strayed away from the little cottage
home at Fifteenth street and Daisy
avenue this morning, shortly before
noon, and walked toward Cerfitos
slough, about 100 feet away, no anxiety
WAS felt regarding her.
When she had not returned after a
half hour, however, the members of the
family hastened TO the slough, There
the girl was found, lying unconscious
upon her back where the water was
only few inches deep. The police were
notified that she had killed herself or
attempted to do so and an officer and
Dr. Holden hastened to the scene.
The girls relatives had quickly dis
covered, however, that she had fallen
in a swoon as a result of an epileptie
ut, to which she is said TO be subject,
She was gasping for breath when
reached by parents and sister. With
the physicians care she recovered from
the attack.
II is supposed that Miss Granada had
entered the water with the intention Of
wading out to where It was Of sufficient
depth to drown herself, and that the at
Los Angeles herald., 1907-04-05

tack of epilepsy was all that saved her
from such an end.
Two reasons for her determination to
suicide are given, one being the re-
currence of the epileptic fits, 1t is also
said that she had visited the skating
Kinks frequently of late and that she
was melancholy over love affair.
1t is generally supposed, however,
that the condition of her health was
the. real cause and that the disease
which saved her from self destruction
was that which prompted her to the
unsuccessful attempt.

1t is said that Astoria Is to have 4
new factory installed at . cost Of $4,000
in the very near future. No one seems
to know just what the product IL to be;
but there seems to be plenty Of war
rant for the declaration. AMI it il claim
ed by those on the inside that the in
vestors are thus silent about their plans,
because they do not wish to be duplicat-
ed in the business here. BE this as 1t
may, these $4,000 industrial plants,
small a. they may appear, break the
way for the larger enterprises. and are
themselves frequently. but tests Of an
untried field. which. proving successful
and profitable. are followed by stalwart
advancement in capital, scope and out
put. We win welcome anything Of this
nature and do all we ought to foster
and forward the enterprises that are
to contribute to the wealth and import
ance Of this city and sections; @for Of
such is the kingdom Of progress We
may be Bit mixed on our Bible but we
are clear on Astoria's future, if not on
our own.

There can be no doubt that there i
Id intense antagonism in certain inap'
ential money circles in the East against
President Roosevelt on account Of bis
unminced attacks upon the methods Of
sshigh finance" back there during the
past two years; nor can it be doubted
the leaders Of this group will engineer
any coup. or reprisal that viii bring dis
comfture TO the man whose courage and
character and wisdom have proven too
much for their dishonest alignment and
selfish programs. Their hatred Of the
President is Of quality comparable
only with the immense good he did the
general public when he wrought the laws
that interferred with their thieying
schedules; and they viii stop at nothing
to even up the score they hold against
him. They are shrewd, powerful. un-
snupulous and have hundreds Of dubious
and desperate means to work their
revenge, even to the wrecking of an
institution Like the Knickerbocker Trust
Company. which closed its doors on
Tuesday with untold millions available
in it's Golfers to meet every possible de-
n,and that could be made against it. The
failure, to our mind, was . farce, pure
and simple; part and parcel of q gigan-
tic scheme of alleged insolvencies that
are to follow all over the country. for
the sole purpose Of disparaging and de-
feating Roosevelt in the next national
campaign. and any man that may stand
for the Rooseyeltian doctrines Of sense
and honesty; and we believe that the
Treasury Department Of the Government
win find. before it is through with this
and other reported failures. that there
is a huge and profound conspiracy afoot
in this direction, and its detection and
exposure will do more to put this ma
tion on the dead-leyel Of financial in
integrity than it has been for years past.
We hope we are not mistaken in this
deduction, for the reason that such q
scheme and it's up-rooting will once for
all. restore peace and institute justice
on plane. that has not been known
since the Civil War.

AsToRIA's FREE LIBRARY.

The ladies controlling the destinies Of
the Astoria Public Library are to be
congratulated upon the pronounced sue
cess of their management which has
been SO well and wisely executed that
it is announced that by February next,
the institution viii on an actual free
basis. This means but one thing: That
the library has been conseryatiyely and
economically handled from the time it
was launched, and its revenues so dis
posed that they have accumulated to q
point where the establishment is self
supporting, or practically 30; at all
events II indicates that no dollar has
ever been wasted but has been
expended to its past particular
cent in the hundred, and that newer and
broader public privileges are to be con-
ferred by reason OF this patent care.
Tt IL an excellent record. and carries a
lesson with it, that may well be OBJ
served by some other civic concerns that
have been 50 notably successful.

SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE.
What 10 Causing the Increase
Catarrh in Astoria2

In spite Of the best efforts OF medical
men. catarrhal troubles are increasing
not only in Astoria, but all over the
country.
/ Catarrh Is germ disease, and to cure
it germ life in the breathing organs
should be destroyed. and to do this no
other treatment has such positive and
beneficial action as Hyomei.
h When the mucous membrane is irri-
tated and raw and the tissues weakened.
there is an ideal lodging place for
catarrhal germs. Breathe Hyomei and
see how quickly it soothes the mem
branes. vitalizes the tissues and de-
stroys all the disease germs. rendering
catarrh no longer possible.
\ There is no dangerous stomach drug
ging when Hyomei is used; no tablets
or liquid mixtures. whereby the diges-
tion is often destroyed and intestinal
troubles added to the horrors Of
catarrh.
Breathed through the neat pocket in
haler that comes with every Hyomei
outfit. the healing balsams penetrate to
the most remote air cells Of the throat,
nose and lungs, destroying the catarrhal
germs SO that quick recovery follows
T. F. Laurin agrees to refund the
money to any purchaser Of Hyomei who
does not find that it does all that is
claimed for it. The complete outfit costs
but $l.00.

A FISH STORY.
Remarkable Experience of Vermont
Physician.

Remarkable Experience of Vermont

A piscatorial yarn that outrivals any
fish story of Maine camps is corroborated
by five witnesses, who solemnly swear
that they witnessed DR.. H. l.. Waterman,
of Brattleboro, VT, summer resident,
catch fish which when opened, was
found to contain a watch bearing his
initials. The watch was lying edgeways
in the fish's stomach, and it is stoutly
denied that anything else or anyone else
was doing any 'slying".
The watch was still going, although it's
owner had been of the firm belief for the
past twenty-fo four hours that it had ''gone".
Skeptical residents here, when told the
story, simply smile cynically and murmur:
"That's sure goin' some"
The fish died before it had time to relate
the details of how it had such 'time'',
and the watch merely kept its hands be-
fore its face, keeping silent. 1t is also
keeping correct time.
DIR. Waterman states that he dropped
the watch overheard while fishing at the
Pines, over five miles from where he
caught the fish, and after chanting: "Good
by, you're the best time that / ever had, -
had given it up for lost. II breathed a
