To stop cold with Preventics is surely

reach deeply seated cold. But taken
early-at the sneeze stage-they break or
head off these early colds. That is surely
better-that is why they are named PRE-

ASTORIA'S SEVENTY.

T-~'t -. 1Gak1t.-.s aei5~.-
The names of seventy Of Astoria's
bright, healthy, capable young men
have been sent in to Adjutant Cen
eral FINER, as candidates for place
and service in the National Guard of
Oregon, and there are more to come.
1t is certain there will be no trouble
in organizing and offering a fine
company in this city, and no stone
should be laid in the way of such a
consummation. and what is more,
every effort should be put forth, back
ed by the best influences in the CITY,
for the securing Of one Of the new ar
mories to be built in Oregon; the
referendum bill carrying the appro-
priation for 100000 in four annual
installments, shonld be voted through
overwhelmingly at the June polls and
after that is done, then the claim Of
Astoria to full consideration in this
important premise, should be pushed
unremittingly, until this city shall be
equipped splendidly as to military per-
sonnel and establishment, under the
new program Of development foster
ed by State and Nation.

The Most Common Cause of Suffering

Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other disease, for
the reason that it is the most common
of all ills, and it is certainly gratifying
to sufferers to know that Chamber
lain's Pain Balm will afford relief, and
make rest and sleep possible. In many
cases the relief from pain, which is at
first temporary, has become perma-
nent, while in old people subject to
chronic rheumatism, often brought on
by dampness or changes in the
weather, a permanent cure cannot be
expected; the relief from pain which
this liniment affords is alone worth
many time its cost rs and 50 cent
sizes for sale by Frank Hart and
Leading Druggists.

THE o. & c. LANDS.


The government could make no
better disposition OF the lands that
are certain to revert to it, in its con
test with the Southern Pacific Com
pany, the old Oregon & California
land grant, than to endow the public
school system of the State with them

That the railroad people have ig-
nored and abandoned the original
principle cherished by the Govern
ment in the giving of this lordly do
main, to wit, the development of the
country, and Oregon in particular,
furnishes no sort Of pretext for the
congress to transcend the high pur-
pose: and we know Of no better way
to meet the paternal doctrine than in
following out the apt suggestion Of
State Superintendent of Schools Ack-
erman, and giving the recovered ter
ritory to the very children OF the

the civil war to resort to the draft In
order to provide recruits for the Union
armies, many men who did not care to

do so organized themselves into clubs
or groups for the purpose of mutual
protection. When one Of their number
was drafted an assessment was made
upon all Of them, and the money thus
raised was used In hiring substitute.
An organization Of this kind was
formed in small town in Illinois, and
one Of the members, a stalwart, fine
looking man, was drafted. With the
money raised by the stipulated assess
ment he procured substitute, little,
wien faced chap, who looked like a

MURDER WILL oUTr

particular, we. hope the murderer OF

The killing was, from all signs, ut
terly unprovoked and cold-blooded;

apparently done by the hand of a
