TAKING ITS OWN MEDICINE.

Multnomahans, otherwise. the
good people Of Portland, along with
the bad, are gagging bit over the
alleged ajoker" found in the general
port bill introduced BY Bean, Of Lake
county; and are freely charging the
CIatsop delegation with having in
spired the smooth little Knockout
drop" In order the emphasize their
own peculiar innocence in the prem
ises and convey the impression that
they never even suspected such q
thing in the high and honorable
course of law-making at Salem, they
got Campbell Of CIackamas to make
the awful discovery and announce it.
This he has done cleverly enough, and
there is uproar galore in the south
wing Of the capitol.
Portland objects to being done out
Of her sheer and unquestioned con-
troll OF the Columbia river, and Of the
Willamette, and win fight the bill
to extinction rather than permit the
shadow Of chance being given to
any other port on the rivers Tor the
coast, either, for the matter at that. }
1t is the same old fight for supremacy
in a field where a half hundred
towns may one day compete with her
for the direct commerce of the two
great valleys. God only knows what
she will do when the north shore
towns and cities rise up and assert
themselves along the Columbia, for
neither the jurisdictional right, nor
her own influence, can save her then,
and the day is certain to come when
Washington viii assert her dominion
along these lines as ferceiy as Port
land is asserting hers now. 1t IS, per-
haps, Portlands idea to "ham-
string" the spirit of the lower river
on both sides and be in impregnable
dominance when that day comes; but
we are of the opinion that she viii
miss her guess.

AT all events she is going to hog
everything in Oregon, and the new
port bill is doomed. We are guiltless
OF having had thing to do with the
measure down here; even our COM
missioner, Hon. Herman Wise, had
nothing to do with the work OF
Messrs, Flanders and Clark and never
attended meeting Of the commits
sion appointed to confer on the gem
eral up-lift Of the Oregon ports and
for the preparation Of Legislative mat
ter in that relation. But he did ap-
prove the bill in question which was
sent him by his colleagues.
We have established our own port
BY initiative and i is well founded
and quite invulnerable to any attack
from Portland; and we shall employ
it, not in derogation and denial of
Portland, but as shield against her
encroaehment; and right here we de-
sire to congratulate the voters Of
Astoria on the wisdom they evineed
when they set up the Port of Astoria
at their last election; they have put
the port in invincible shape and are
free from any complications that may
arise in this ugly emergency at Salem;
and this fact exculpates our delega-
ton from all suspicion Of interest in
the injection of the cruel little Joker
We hope the bill will pass, joker
and all; it will be lesson that, in
days to come, viii induce Portland
to make friends Of her sister-eities
rather than, gradually, to divest her
self of all honest and friendly con-
cern throughout the civic realm of
Oregon.

IN THE STORM CENTER.

Astoria is on the westerly marge Of
the storm-center set Up by the ele.
ments in the Northwest this winter
We are getting Our full share of the
ice and snow and wind, and natural
ly, Of the rainfall Luckily, we are at
a point where water congestion is
impossible; we have no fear Of de-
yastating foods here, because Of the
spread Of things down this way and
the near resort Of the boundless sea
which generously absorbs accesses Of
all kinds and leaves us free, safe and
grateful.
We do not disparage the rain; that
is one Of our elemental perquisites
and we have no desire to see it
abridged nor diverted We need it
all; it goes to make our exquisite
summers and those creations are
among our proudest boasts and
standard joys; without them we
should be lost, as would tens Of thou
sands of tourists and pleasure-seekers
each year Even Portland has no
recourse but to admit the superlative
beauty and perfect comfort Of the
Astoria summer
Therefore, for the nonce, we are
willing TO put up with the rare adyer-
sites Of frozen and busted water
pipes; Of slushy streets and slippery
hill sidewalks; Of drifted snow banks

SAYS KISSING HEROES.
IS HYSTERID
DIR. PURE BAILY DECLARES
HABIT A NERVOUS DISEASE
TO BE FEARED.

4 NEW YORK, Jan, 2 That the
public kissing Of popular heroes
and the showering Of attention on
freak musicians, OF which this coun-
try has had numerous recent exam
Piles, is form Of hysteria and re-
vival OF Tarantism, the strange con.
tagious disorder that spread over
southern Europe during the four.
teenth century, is suggested by the
February number Of Appleton's
magazine in an article by DR. Pierce
Bailey, an eminent authority on
nervous diseases, II is pointed out
that Tarantism was characterized
I by dancing, jumping and throwing
about of the arms, Today il would
be recognized as hysteria, the dis
order by which the higher part OF
consciousness loses control and be-
comes more or less subordinate 70
action In the days when the mys-
terious disease to which the name
Tarantism was applied spread con
sternation through Europe, the
whole population OF villages,
schools and converts often was af-
fected and the trouble was attribu,-
ed TO all sorts Of occult causes, 10
wihchcraft, and to the direct inilu.
ence Of the Devil.
Modern hysteria, however mani
tests itself even more generally in
mental than in physical actions II
accounts for innumerable iads and
queer cults and the Appleton article
points out that the sending OF flow
ers and letters Of sympathy to brut-
al murderers by women ordinarily
refined, are manifestations OF the
same tendency to hysteria. Oceas-
ionally, in the present day, hyster-
ical wave sweeps over a whole com
munity, just as it did in the four
teenth century epidemic Of Tarant-
ism, as when practically the whole
population of London went wild
over the relief Of the small garrison
at Mafeking in South Africa, dur
ing the Boer Mar, and indulged in
riotous demonstrations that des-
troyed hundreds Of thousands of
dollars worth Of property and brou-
ght into use new word "mafe-
king" to describe such outbursts,

mails. These agitators seek to prevent
the largely imaginary suiferings Of
dumb animals used in scientific in
vestigations to determine the cause
and cure of diseases in spite Of the
fact that such experiments are d.
rected to the relief Of more general
and widespread suffering among
human beings. An examination of
the mental attributes displayed by

ly by well-known scientist show
ed that these tailed almost exactly
with the recognized symptoms of
hysteria.

FORMER RUSSIAN SOLDIER
Bandit Who Fought to Death After
Robbing Bank.

fNOOOInS Gdf1k.
st. Paul, Aug. 7.-While August
Pohl, the White Bear desperate, lies
at the county morgue practically un-
identified the fourth victim of his
deadly aim, William Butler, is at the
point of death at st. Joseph's hos
pital. His intestines were pierced by
two bullets.
For the desperate holdup and sub
sequent fight made by the bandit the
police offer a new theory. Contrary
to the first belief that Pohl was a
professional craftsman of the des-
perado type, who will invariably fight
to death when cornered, it is now be-
lieved that he was nothing more than
demented foreigner.
He was a novice at all events, as
shown in the manner in which he
risked his life when there were many
ways in which he would have been
able to carry the holdup to success.
The police have learned that the ban
dit was an ex-Russian soldier. He
served in the Russo-Japanese war and
scars on his head and body indicated
that he had been severely wounded.
His actions at White Bear during
the time he spent In the village we're
not those of a bank robber or des-
perate criminal, declare the police,
and though 1t was very evident that
he had contemplated the robbery for
several days its execution was raw
work, the police say, and probably the
result of deranged mind.

rank with the best artists in their

work has teen reproduced in the fore
most publications of the day, which
is one of the surest tests of it's excel

unique reputation and placed their
work in a class by itself. Their skill
in posing subjects, one of the most
difficult ORANGES of their work, has
brought them the patronage of.not-

Washington, Aug. 7.-Information
received at the treasury from New

d1cates that the new tariff law Is
working Unexpectedly smoothly. -
Generally at the beginning of the
operation of a new tariff law matters
In the big custom houses are at "sixes
confusion yet has manifested itself in
the administration Of the Payne law,
It IS said. BY treasury officials this
is accounted for by reason of the new
law having been constructed on the
general lines of the Dingley act, al
though, Of course. the figures differ.
In anticipation of the enactment of
the new law general instructions were
sent by the treasury department two
| weeks ago to collectors of customs at
the various ports of the United States.
| The collectors were directed, pending
| the arrival in their offices of official
copies of the new law. to collect the
duties under the old law on estimates,
but not to liquidate any entries until
| they had the new law before them.
New York Collections Heavy.
Approximately two-thirds of all the
customs dues received by the govern
ment are taken in at the port of New
York. The next largest ports are
I Boston and Philadelphia. In all there
are about $50 ports Of the United
States at which duties are collected.
| 1t is noted with considerable inter-
est at the treasury department that
| the receipts from customs have in
creased materially since the beginning
| Of the present fiscal year on July 1.
In the thirty-one business days of this
fiscal year the amount collected aggre-
gates $36,3O7,948, while for precisely
the corresponding period of last year
the collections were $24,S41,S3O, max
Ing an increase for the present year of
$11 ,466,11S. During the last three days
the receipts have averaged about ST..
100000 a day, nearly twice as much
as for the corresponding days Of last
year. This increase is accounted for
by the desire of importers to Mquidate
their entries before the new law went
into effect.

CARL DEANE GAVE MOST
ASTONISHING EXHIBITION
He DivuIged Secrets of Many So.CaIIed
"Supernatural' Manifestation
Will Appear Again Tonight.

A splendid performance was given
last night by Carl Deane, in his
Expose of Taking Mediums"
Mr.. Deane explained his object
was not to offend spiritualists, as
everyone has right to his religious
belief, but his intention was to ex.
pose the rank fakirs preying on such
religious faith.
Mr.. Deane gave slate writing
about mysteries, and actually told
the names of persons unknown to
him in his clairvoyant work, after
which he explained to the satisfac-
ton of his audience, how each par
ticular thing was done.
Those who did not attend last
night missed one of the very best
performances which pertains to
supernaturalism.
Mr.. Deane's work is similar to the
type of Anna Eva Fay, and was very
cleverly done.
How such things are possible has
been a puzzle to most people, but
the explanations given drove away
all doubt as the mist before the ris.
ing sun.
Our citizens should turn out to-
night, as Mr.. Deane appears for the
last time, in which he discloses
many new features of an astonishing
nature. r -..,-~ - Z
Mr.. Deane desires the attendance
of spiritualists especially. Every
courtesy will be given and he is
always ready 70 explain any pheno-
mena which they have had from
mediums.
