How a Misehievous Parrot Joilied q
Windy City Physician.
A south side physician gave his wife
a parrot which he had purchased fol
his Office, but which was so uncanny
and mischlevous that 1t gave its own
er nervous prostration. Then he turn
ed It over to his wife, with strict or
ders that 1t should be kept out Of bis
sight.
No one can ever bank on parrot
and Mrs. Physician kept the bird In o
cage In an alcove Of their room where
the doctor could not see 1t and covered
the cage with heavy blanket during
the time the doctor was at home. Pol.
~ was as mute as mouse when GOV.
cred up, and the man of the house
never even surmised her proximity.
But one day when he was shaving
himself q sudden gruff chuckle gave
him such start that he cut cash
in his chin. He looked toward the al
cove, from which the sound came, and
saw white eye protruding through n
hole In a blanket-a fiendish eye, filed
with an unholy delight. Then hoarse
voice croaked:
"What yer doingY
"Can't you see what I'm doing, you

PUBLIC PATIENCE FAILING.

Whatever the flattering JUNCTION the
Common Council of Astoria is laying
to its corporate soul, the actual fact
remains, undisguised and unmistak-
able, that the patience of the Astoria
public is failing; and there will be
plenty OF significance given before
many days have gone by, of the real
extent of this lapse from confidence
and regard 1t is but another reitera-
ton of the old story of the arbitrari-
ness of long continued authority and
the inevitable assumption OF infali-
bility, and the consequent expression
of incorporate purpose; these tales
are always told TO the end, and the
end is always the same.
The people are just beginning to
understand that the council and its
committees and advisers are not SO
clever, nor thoughtful, nor consider
ate of the public purse and pride as
they should be, and the realization is
wrought of facts that permit no 9TH
er accounting, such as the raw and
costly blunders developing constantly
in the matter OF street Improvements
and the hard-and-fast program laid
out and adhered to in the case of the
proposed seawall, along with lesser
manifestations of incapacity and Of
fetal disregard of the essentials of
cost, convenience, and general con-
servation of the popular interests.
The impression is justified that the
council and its group of attaches are
too closely knit, too unified in pur-
pose, too compact and homogeneous,
to serve the broader ends of real
public service and this conviction
leads to the downfall of all civic
faith and reliance. No council is above
the electorate that puts it in power;
nor does its pretended adherence to
the wishes and will of the people, al
ways lavishly made under reproach,
relieve it of the charge Of indifference,
or worse, when based upon such tan
gible pleas as Astoria now makes
against the present administration
The council is laundering badly in
more ways than one, and it will do
we'll to call halt in its autocratic |
course of doing things irrespective of /
protest and counter-pleas from the
public; especially in this matter OF the
seawall. A continuance of its per-
emptory schedule will invite reprisals
that even it may not fout. For if it
dreams for one instant that Astoria is
going to have a million-dollar public
improvement crammed down its
throat without proper preparation and
essential scrutiny of all preliminaries,
it is going up against lesson in the
efficacy Of the law Of injunction that
will open its eyes. It can have its
way about the seawal1, provided the
taxpayers and the people generally
have their way first. This by way of
warning!.

VIOLATES HIS PAROLE AND
IS AGAIN IMPRISONED

H. Vaughn, a prisoner in the Neva-
da penitentiary, who was early this
week paroled, was last night arrested
in Reno by Officers Muller and Sum
mers and taken back to Carson City to
serve out the remainder of his term.
He stated this morning before leaving
the city hall that he deserved to go
back and finish his term in prison and
that he had nc complaint to make.
Almost within an hour after the
board of pardons paroled Vaughn he
filed up on booze and proceeded to
create a disturbance in Carson. He
then came to Reno and yesterday the
board of pardons revoked the parole
and ordered that he be re-incarcerated
The chairman of the board at the Ne
vada penitentiary t~elephoned to the
police yesterday afternoon and last
night. This morning the captain of
the guard at the prison took charge of
him and took him back to Carson and

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only n way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, deafness is the re.
suit, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out Of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infiamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send

AS VIEWED ABROAD

1t is not ~infrequently the case that
men living out of the United States
can form a more accurate opinion OF
probable election results in this coun-
try than can it's residents. This may
be accounted for by the fact that the
foreigner is not ~prejudiced by parti-
sanship or self-interest, and is thus
enabled to take a dispassionate view
of the situation.
As an indication of English opinion
on the result of the coming national
election may be noted the attitude #
Lloyds, the great underwriters. This
association was originally formed TO
insure against the loss of vessels and
cargoes at sea, but year by year new
risks have been added to their list
until today, for an adequate considers
ton, they will insure against any con
tingency.
Many business men in the United
States, with large investments which
they consider might be adversely az
fected by the election of Mr. Bryan
to the presidency, applied to Eloyds for
insurance against this casualty. After
studying the situation this firm fixed
the premium at 10 per cent, and at this
rate will Issue policies in any mount
To Americans, who are only accus
toned to insurance against loss by fire.
or death or accident, this will be
looked upon as a gambling proposition.
To the company, however, it is a per
fectly regular and ordinary business
transaction.
While the possibility of Bryan's sue
cess is very remote, it is a sound bust
ness maxim for men who cannot afford
to take the chance of loss from any
calamity to insure against the same.
The Silver State News would accord
ingly suggest to the woolgrowers of
Nevada, who would be seriously af-
fected should wool again drop to 5
cents pei pound and sheep to two bits
a head, that they take out policies in
the amount of their possible loss and
thus be IN the safe side.
