s1MPLrF1ED MEMS COSTUMES
When Use of Powder and of Snuff
Boxes Died Out.

The French revolution had its
effect upon the fashions of 1900, as
we'll as upon matters of more weighty
import, the tendency being greatly
to simplify costume. Young men in
England adopted the short coat, light
waistcoat and pantaloons inaugurated
in Paris by a certain set who affected
to despise the old court fashions.
The use of powder, made more ex-
pensive by taxation, quite died out
and short hair became universal.
Trousers and Wellington boots, at
first worn only by the military, were
adopted by civilians about 1914. and
the dandy of the early Victorian era
wore his tightly strapped down. Es
also prided himself on his starched
collar, which had gone out Of favor
under George w., who preferred a
black silk kerchief or stock.
The snuff box vanished and the
characteristic ornament of the age
was the bunch of seals hanging from
the watch chain. Various modifica-
tons took place from time to time
during Queen Victoria's long reign,
but the form of mems dress practi-
cally remained unaltered.

CATARRH YIELDS.
To Healing Air of Hyomei--Sold Under
Guarantee by T. F. Laurin.

Catarrh is the most prevalent disease
known to humanity. Probably 30 per
cent of the people in this country suffer
at one time or another with this com
mon disease.
1t is a germ disease and hence can be
cured only by some method that will
reach and destroy the germs.
This is best found in Hyomei, which
may be called the direct method OF treat
ing catarrh, as its medication, taken in
with the air you breathe, goes directly
to every air cell in the nose, throat and
lungs; kills all catarrhal germs; heals
the irritated mucous membrane and
vitalizes the tissues so as to render
catarrh no longer possible.
The unique way in which Hyomei is
sold should iispel all doubt as to its
curative properties, for 7. +. Laurin
gives his absolute guarantee to refund
the price to any catarrh sufferer that
Hyomei fails to benefit. You do not
risk cent in testing its healing powers
What offer could be more fair to you
than this, where leading druggist take;
all the risk of Hyomei giving satisfac
ton, and leaves you to be the judge.

THE MAYORS MESSAGE.

Mayor Wise has clearly stated the
pregnant facts of finance and admins
trative necessities confronting the city
for the year 1908.
There is much to be done, and less
than usual in the way OF resource
wherewith to do it. He takes high ground
in the matter of the abatement of the
'blood- money" revenue, and every re-
spectacle citizen here, and abroad, viii
commend his conclusions as fast as they
are read.
The municipal levy leaves the city
second from the lowest in the whole
state as to the per capita imposition foi
the year, despite the glaring fact that
an extraordinary deficit has had to b'
met from the safer and cleaner reliance
upon direct taxation.

Gas Franchise.

Now comes another one OF those duties
that cover an up-to-date Mayors char
with tacks.
So many people complained to me
about the Gas Service in Astoria and
have asked whether the City is impotent
in the matter, that felt it incumbent
on me to look over the gas franchise
and see if the City had reserved any
rights at all in the premises, and to my
amazement | find that the only excuse
for a franchise on record Is Ordinance
493, approved December 10, 1882; said
ordinance merely gives the Astoria Gas
Light Company the right TO build gas
works and lay gas pipes in the public
!, streets.

 CONTROVERSY.
Aiabsna Ccnwressmsn Does Not Agree With Demecrasie Leader that Government May Levy
 Tax on PIanss.

.N4
 Washington. March 2s.--tspeciai.)- In some remarks few days ago in the House. Representative Williams en dorsed the para graph in the recent message of the President. In which he declared that he would veto all power plan bills which did not include . provision giving the President or Sec retary of War the right to levy q req sonable charge upon the individual or corporation given the right to ccn- struct dams.
 Today Representative Richardson of Alabama took up the matter while the agr.cultpral bill was under coHsidera- ton. He expressed regret that the Democratic leader should have taken such position. and that Involved him tn a lively contention with Mir. Will Hams regarding the right of the Gov ernment at Washington to levy such charges. s.s
 Judge Richardson insisted that there were certainl rights guaranteed to the States with regard to the natural wa terfalis. and on which the Government had never spent any money for im- provenhents He cited a number of court decisions to sustain the points made by him. and also quoted from the comprehensive report made by the late Senator Morgan in reference to the water shed of the Tennessee River. and the possibilities for the develop ment of power plants along the stream and others in that portion of the South.
 Mir. Williams insisted that no dam could be constructed without first ob- taining the consent of Congress. Not spade could be struck in the Missis- sippi River or a bridge built across it or any other navigable river without the consent of the Government at Washington. he said. That being the case. the Government should levy charges in the interest of all the peo- pie. st
 Judge Richardson said further along in his remarks that the development of the power in Alabama was more valuable probably than the coal fields of the State, and he thought the plants ought to be established for the beneat of the people. Alfred J. Stofer.
