formed and robbed at the Gayoso hotel,
by a man asserting he was John A. .Mor
ris, of New Orleans. Morris engaged a
reom at the hotel, sent for Fraysier, who
went to the hotel. After a talk regard
ing a matter on which Morris asked in
formation, the latter asked the other to
take a drink. Mr. Fraysier drained a
glass. Turning to face Morris, the latter
pulled two, revolvers saying: .
"I am a desperate man. I have no
money and my family in New Orleans is
destitute. I must have cash. You in
dorse a check for $5000.

ties finally compromised by Frayier
indorsing the check. .Hoping the cash
ier at the bank would suspect something
wrong and refuse to cash it, he- indorsed
the check P. D. Frauzier, an unusual
indorsement. His -checks are usually
indorsed P. Dudley Fraysier. ; Morris
then chloroformed Fraysier and sent a
bell boy to the bank for the money,
This evening cries of "Murder, thieves,"
were heard issuing from the room. The
door was burst open and Fraysier was
found unconscious, his watch, $50 and
some valuables be had about him " were
gone. ' The check was on the table, pay
ment at the bank having been refused.

chamber of cdminerce who express them- .
selves unfavorable- to the proposition
made by The. Dalles and DesChutep

Sunset on Tillamook. Bay.
Tillamook Watehtower.
Far out over the long black sea bil- '
lows, ocean's vapors arise, pass and '
change, group themselves and revolve -round
the great, central, luminous orb,'-'
and these dissolve and resume them- r
selves, here resume beauty and there
terror. Domes of gold, realms of beauty ''
unfold an image of splendor and solemn '
repose. The night dews are falling, all
is sombre and still, the indistinct light '
reveals war in the skies, armies of gold-:
o'er the embattled mountains rise and -rest,
while far up the dim airy crags the
shapeless sleepy clouds which seem to
be brilliant fragments of some golden
world, hover in the light around the
rims of the . sunset. Then all those
phantasmagorial images wane dim and
draw off in silence, to meet the powers '
of night which now gathering afar,
bafttea the' hist iuileof the sun in his.
setting. . In this last light of day, a ship
far away asleep on the waves now min
gles with the wild shapes of this cloud 1
world, but lasts only a while, for the sun
has gone down and" the purple and gold
in the west has turned ashen. The bav
from whose glimmering limits the last,
transient pomp of the pageants of sunset
departed, drew into its bosom the dark- -ness.

Good Manners In tow I.!fe.
New York Sun.
People say that gallantry is going out
of fashion. This is what was written by
a woman from' one -of the Southern
springs : I do believe the colored peo
ple are the most polite, in the world.
You know what a wretched memory 1 :
have for names?
Well, an African gentleman has been .'
in the habit of bringing me my coffee '
every morning, and from the depths of
my pillow I always address him as Wit- '
liam. At last one morning when I was' '
rather more wide awake than usual, I
said to him "By the way, is vour name
William?" ".
And he answered:
"Well, no Miss, it ain't William, it is
George, but if it gives you any pleasure to
e peak to me as William, it makes me
more than happy !''
Can anybody say chivalry is dying out
when such an'answer a9 that is received.

A Disastrous Cloudburst.
San Diego, Calif., Aug. 14. Informa
tion has just reached -here of a disas
trous cloudburst at Campo. this county,
Wednusday. The town is situated at:
the mouth" of a ravine and a torrent, of
waters came down on the town, washing
away everything moveable. : Many head
of live stock were killed. No lives were
lost.
A dispatch that arrived at this office
this afternoon and appears in another
column, intimates that the members of. '
the Portland chamber of commerce are
in favor of having The Dalles jwrtaee
built by that body and controlled by it.
This is good. ' We believe the directors
of the portage incorporation wont stand .
in the way a moment.' What they want
as well as we,' if we mistake not, is a
poi tage on this side and it is a secondary
matter who shall build it if some big
railroad company does not get a hold of
it. By all means let' the chamber of
commerce build the road.
