the long-hoped-for railroad will be open
ed for general traffic. This event will
take place In all probability during the
coming month, and It is expected th.it a
decided change In business will take
place. Knowing ones say that If Astoria
does not now walk to the front at a rapid
pace, it will be her own fault. The ov
portunlty is here and only has to be
gmsped.
There were some fine specimen of shad

two or three of them welghlnc eight
pounds each, probahlv the largest ever
seen In the markets here. The fisherman
who disposen of them got eighteen in his
net the previous night and they were
quickly sold In the markets during the
day. Shad are seldom taken by the gl'.l
netters. but are taken In large quantities
by the seiners later In the season.
There Is an Industry In Astort.i that

far, pronounce It a superior srtlcle.
"Pustlne" on a floor not only gives It a

possible to sweep without raising a cloud
of dust. Cutblrth's "Dustlne" Is manu
factured In Astoria and excels anything
of a similar kind on the makct. Patron

Methodist church at l:3n In the afternoon.
The iloral offerings were profuse and
handsome, and decorated the casket be
fore the altar. The church was filled with
sympathizing friends and the sermon de
livered by the Rev Mr. Ho!!lnghcad was
a beautiful tribute to th young life gone
out. The music for the service was most
appropriate and affecting, rendered by a
siieclal hoir. The remains were interred
in Greenwood cemetery and were fal
lowed to the grave hy a large numlcr
of people.
At Seaside all is preparation for th
coming lieach season, which. It Is .x
pecteil. will be the greatest In the his
tory of the local summer resorts. Sev
eral new cottages have been erected dur
ing the j.ast few months, and many re
pairs have been made to the old ones.
Among the contemplated buildings are
several modern summer cottages to be
erected for Mr. Alex. Gilbert of this city.
They will probably be put up at Hermosa
Park, in which tract Mr. nbert U large
ly Interested. The new Grimes hotel Is
now almost ready for occupancy and
commands a most beautiful view of the
ocean and beach. The old Grime house
will probably be conducted this season by
Mr. B. K. Standb y.
Mark Warren, who has Just returned

OI K CITY I'AHK.
lVeds For the First Public Park In As
toria Were Executed Yesterday.
Astoria's park n reality.
The dreams of enthusiasts have taken
tangible shape.
A breathing spot for the masses ha
been provided.
For many years the enthusiastic be.
Ib'vers In the future Importance and de
velopment of Astoria as a shipping port
and commercial center have endeavored
to Impress upon the people th- necessity
of providing for a public park. It Is not
necessary to recite here the good and sub
stantial reasons why every city should
have Its park and boulevards. Every
one knows that u thickly settled commu
nity must have these breathing places
to maintain the health of Its eople. En
lightened men and women of this d.iv
will not live 111 a city devoid of these
health-giving resorts and beautifying
places.
It became the duty of the enthusiasts
to convince their slower brethren that
now Is the time to prepare- for these fu
ture parks and lav the foundation for a
system of places for recreation. The As
toria Progressive Commercial Associa
tion a few months ago undertook the
work of securing a park site while land
Is cheap and choice sites open. Yester
day their labors were" crowned with suc
cess. To Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Shlveb y
belongs the cre-dit of establishing the
first nubile park In Astoria. The site
deeded by them to the trustees of the
Progressive Association covers the twelve
acre's lying Just south ef. an. I contiguous
to. the city water works reservoir. It Is
naturally a beautiful location, on a high
knoll, overlooking the city nnd bay. and
together with the water worksn grounds
will make an Ideal pleasure spot In the
heart of the city.
To Horticulturists A. J. Johnson his
been delegated the responsible duty of
laying out this park. Including the ar
rangement In the landscape plan of the
valuable trees and shrubs alre-.idy grow
ing upon the ground. To this Mr. John
son will add the V'O worth of plants ant
tre.s from his nursery which he sii gen
erously offered as his share of the ex
pense of establishing the park.
Now comes the Important work of grad
ing and beautifying the grounds The
park committee of the Association will
vigorously prose'cilte this portion of the
work. They confidently egpect the tv arty
co-operation and e-ncouragement of the
people. Many of the most prominent
merchants and business men have al
ready pledged their money and support.
A little more nerve, a great deal of
public-spirited generosity will enable the
committee each year to do an appreciable
amount of work on the premises. Who
will be the first to put his pledge on
Is work on this proje, t to be done
by the ladies of the city. They have hel.l
fairs and entertainments of all kinds for
the benefit of the public library and
church societies. Another fb ld Is open for
their ingenuity. They can also donate
flowers and plant them In beds set aside
for the purpose Hut doubtless their own
inventive minds will find many a way In
which to aid In the good wark or Induce
their liege lords to do It for tnem.

What Is the first cause of nine-tenths
of all disease?
Imperfect digestion of food.
Why does Imperfect digestion cause dis
ease of other organs?
lierause blood, nerves, muscles, bone
and Ibsh are derived from the food we
eat and digest. If digestion Is perfect
the blood Is pure, nerves and muscles
strong, flesh lirm. If the digestion Is
poor, the blood is supplied from half di
gested, fermenting food. Irritating every
nerve nnd organ. The result Is, sooner or
later, organic disease, because every or
gan, being poorly nourished, the weakest
glv.-s way lirst and we have liver trouble,
kidney complaints, h'-art disease or con
sumption. Is not dieting the usual and best treat
ment to cure Indigestion?
No. because the dispeptir has been
starved long enough; what Is needed Is
abundant nourishment, not the lack of it
The stomach and blond demand nutri
ment, not bran crackers.
What, is the best method or cure?
I'l.-nty of wholesome food Well digested.
P.ul how can - weak stoma. 'h digest
plenty of wholesome food'.'
I'.y taking with the food after each
meal certain harmless remedies which
are known to digest food and thus nour
ish Ho- blood and rest the weak stomach.
What are these harmless remedies?
The most valuable are vegetable fer
ments, (Hire pepsin. Golden Heal and fruit
sal's. All of these are now combined In
the form of pleasant tasting tablets sold
by druggists under the name of Hluarl'H
Dyspepsia Tablets,
Are th.se tablets superior to the vari
ous ll'iuld irepara t ions so called dyspep
sia cures?
Most decidedly, be. ause all llrpiid medi
cines beeorne stale with age and lose
whatever good (pialltles they may have
had originally, while tho tablets retain
Its properties Indefinitely. Stuart's I)ys
pcpsiii Tablets inn be carried In Hi"
pocket, always at hand ready for use
when traveling or at dally occupation.
They cost but 71 cents, and should be
k"pt In every family. 'I oey keep the di
gestion perfect anil save doctor bills by
warding off disease.
Are Htuart's Dyspepsia Tabb ls adapted
to all forma of dyspepsia?
Yes, because In all casen the trouble
results from Indigested, fermenting food.
Stuart's Iyspepsia Tablets cause the
food to be digested before It has time to
ferment.
If you wish to know more about them
ask your druggist for a package, and try
I, them.
