There was a fine praise service and an appreciative audience at the Con gregational church last Sunday eve ning. A fervent prayer by the pastor Kev. G. O.

Polk & Co. have just issued their new "Oregon, Washington and Idaho Gazetteer and Business Di rectory for 1889-90." Some idea of the wonderful growth fo this north ern country may be gained from the fact that this directory is fully twice as large as that of last year," the in crease in the lists of names and pluces being remarkable.

New York, Dec. 1. The western circuit wires of the Associated Pres3 were burdened with outgoing matter to-night, and sending operator Chan dler was hurrying the lads along the line. Suddenly Chandler paused, and shut the key, as Associate Press tel egrapher Igoe at Minneapolis had 'broken," and all-the men on the liue had paused like Chandler to listen. 'There's a fire on the third floor of the Tribune building," said Igoe on the wire, "and I am on the seventh," and then, after a moment's pause, aGo ahead." Chandler began again, and after another brief space yielded to Cleve land, who had a rush dispatch, and this was all in Cleveland'3 message that Igoe received: "Cleveland, O. Captain Joseph MofTett, a well-known lake mau, was killed to-day by falling into the hold of his vessel." Just there Igoe "broke." "Boys," he ticked on the wire, and then there was another brief pause, and all the men on the circuit were listening with interest. "Boys, I've got to stand you off. Tm the only one left on this floor. Every body is gone, and I can't stay any longer." Click shut went his key, and some operator on the line quickly "opened" and shouted after Igoe, as it were, "take the machine along, save the machine," referring to the type writing machine, but there was no response. The clicking instrument had ticked its half jocular message in an empty room. Near by sat the ma chine with the last item taken, which was the Cleveland item about the vio lent death. Then the work "went on again, and no one of his colleagues thought seriously of Igoe's good-bye, until there came bulletins of the I033 of life in the burning of the Minneap olis Tribune building, until there came bulletins of the loss of life and among them the bulletin stating the fact that Igoe had stayed too long. Those last 200 words ho remained to take were fatal. They cost him his life, and the men at their keys were grave as thev worked on to "Good night." Trice SI iren't Begun To Climb Yet. A citizen of Portland who recently went to Astoria to purchase real es tate, says that it is advancing to fabu lous rates, lots on the tops and sides of the adjacent mountains finding ready purchasers at high figures. He also says that the recent purchase of a small tract of land, about 100 acres, for half a million of dollars has devel oped to be a Union Pacific purchase, and land Holders are wonderfully elated ovor it. -Albany Herald. The Wrecked "Idaho." Victoria, Dec. 1. Nothing from the wrecked steamer Idaho. Three Victoria steamers are at the scene of the disaster. The steamer Maud came from the wreck at 1:30 r. m., and reports the same position with weather calm. The chances ol saving her are good.

Chicago, Dec. 1.- It is reported to night that Daniel Coughlin is about to confess all ho knows about the Cronin murder, he being compelled thereto by his wife who was in court yesterday for the first time since the trial began.

CMlflreE Cry fwPitclier's Castoris SOME STYLlSn GIRLS. And How They Fix Themselre- Up. At the present time the fashionable girl is busy experimenting with her flowing locks. She tries various schemes all equally desirable for the promenade. She ties it up in aBobes pierre loop, that is altogether killing, and fastens a coquettish knot of black ribbon in the center. For the evening she draws her hair upon the top of her head and coils it in two loose rings through which she -sticks a long pin with jewelled head, or a tortoise-shell comb. or tne ball these are replaced by ostrich plumes, with Bhinestouo brilliant center. To do the "Catogan" effectively the hair has been parted across the head, the front locks are parted down the mid dle, combed back and both strands crossed on the top of the head, to form double loops fastened with ornamen tal hair-pins. The back hair which generally requires a false strand, is braided, turned under at the nape of neck for the catogan, and then taken up and pinned under the front loops. A fillet or hair pin fastens the cato gan. To do the braids, the hair, which must be long and thick, is parted in front and combed back over the ears, where it is braided loosely in two plaits, slung once together and taken up so that the ends come under the lob of the same, and then fastened with a tortoise shell pin. Perfection in a visiting toilette has at last been arrived at, in both color and shape. It is made with plain skirt and bodice, aud a short jacket of the same material with rolled-back collar. The entire dress is of brown cloth richly embroidered with gold and black cloth, jacket and corselet being en suite. The chemisette, rising in graceful folds from the top of the square-cut corselet to a plain bind collar, may be of a pale lawn or a rich green, and suggests the tone of the hat garniture and the gloves. The entire toilette is the perfection of se vere elegance. Another style which is finding favor with those who are on the qui vivo for elegance and freshness of design. It is an evening dress for an elderly lady, and is built a la pompadour as to bust and shoulders, with a straight paneled skirt. The front panel is of point lace, the bodice nicely decorated with passementeries, and the remainder of the toilet is in striped moire silk. It would be difficult to desigu a more perfect toilet for an elderly woman of well-preserved figure. A jaunty little cap is the rage now. Any girl of age to "set her cap" at any tiling can make one, so simple is it with its cloth top, velvet band, and saucy, nodding feathers. Here is tho receipt for the benefit of the Astoria girls: Take a strip of stiff muslin 1 inches wide, increased on the left side to four inches, and covered plain with brown velvet, trimming the edges with a narrow black-beaded border. A round piece of beige-colored cloth 15ji inches wide across forms the crown, being well puffed and gathered at the band. A feather rigrette gives tho trimming, and the whole affair, though 'simple, is most fetching when seen on the head of a pretty young girl. Nelialem Items. Editor Astoria:: Grim death has swung his scythe in our midst and cut down our most prominent citizen. L. K. Scovell quietly departed this life on Saturday morning, Nov. 23rd, and was buried on Sunday evening. De ceased was in his 71st year, but as he had been sick for 12 years was appar ently much older. He came to the Nehalem valley in 1870 and so became and continued until his death a cen tral figure in its society. A kind, gen erous, noble. Christian citizen; he made few enemies but many friends. He leaves a host of relatives and friends who sincerely mourn their loss. After long years of waiting the dep uty United States surveyor has come and surveyed S. of T. 4 N. R. 9 "W., and every acre has been taken as fast as surveyed, except a few -iOs that were considered worthless, and they will be soon gobbled up by some parties more anxious than wise, who want to speculate in timber land. This Yz township has now about GO residents. How many will it have one year from to-day? I doubt if it has '20. Many now here will sell to speculators as soon as they get their titles and hie to other fields of opera tion. Col. Barr, chief engineer of the Al bany aud Astoria rail road, passed through this section a few days ago looking for the most practicable route for a rail road. "We would suggest that ho look further to the east, where he will find a much lower summit and an easier ascent from either side. A man to realize how anxious we are for a rail road communication needs to come here and live awhile and suf fer the inconveniences we suffer, For instance, it costs about $40 per ton to get freight from Astoria to this point a distance of only do mue3. This is one inconvenience. Be sure to get Hood's Sarsaparilla if you want an honest, reliable medicine. Do not take any other which is alleged 10 ue "auouc ine same or "just as gooa.

Just think over now and see if you can remember any bar ber who ever wore glasses. I've been in the business twenty years, says a writer, and T woidd be more apt to see such barbers than you. I don't believe that I ever saw more than three. A man who can't see well has no business fooling around another man's face with a razor. I went into a recruiting office once thinking I would enlist They asked me several questions, one of them being an in quiry about my business. I said I was a barber. The recruiting officer replied at once : "-Then your eyesight is all right." I don't think I ever saw a cross eyed barber in my life. As a rule, the barber's eyesight is better than any class of business or profes sions which you find. Ex.
