Louie ComWii has
leaving it ut the Ciikonii'I.k
diu-a,
received a earloud
handsomest portrait frames he has ever
cast his eyes on. There are two general
varieties, both entirely new in the city,
with very few like them anywhere. One
variety is finished in pure gold leaf, the
other in ebony and gold. Those of the
hitter variety ate marvelously beautiful
and must be seen to be appreciated. As
no frames of similar design and fin Mi
have ever before been oflered for sale in
this city, an inspection will repay any
one wanting anything in that line. The
murvel of it is that the prices are verv
little above what the people have been
piying for frames that are in every re
spect much inferior.
The Fossil Journal says: "The Co
lumbia Southern R. K. is niakini; a
strong drive for tho chipping business of
Fossil, Mayville, Ferry Canyon atul per
haps Condon, to all of which points the
C. S. station ot Kent is oonsiderahly
neater than Arlington, the present ship
ping point. The railroad company ban
had an easy wagon road surveyed from
Kent to Mr, Graham's place on the .lohn
Day river, IP... miles, and is about to
let a contract for the work. Sherman
county has appropriated $000, and the
citizens of Sherman have mado up .f 1000
to assist with tho work. The Mayville
fanners aio strongly interested in the
project, and ate rpiidy to contribute
work on the Gilliam side ot the line.
The problem of crossing the river will
probably be solved by the railroad com
pany, when the wagon road is com
pleted. Acting Postmaster Forest Fisher has
received a clerical appointment in one
of the depaitments at Washington and
will enter upon his work at tins com
mencement of the year, provided, of
course, that his succetsor, .J. M. Patter
son, will have been eonlirnied and will
have qualified in time, and of this there
is no d'liibt. It is duo to Mr. Fisher to
say that his management of Tho Dalles
postollice, since Mr, Uiddell's retire
ment, has given very gieat satisfaction,
Wo believe this Is the universal senti
ment of the patrons of the ollice, We
kuoiv it is very decidedly tho sentiment
of Tun Ciikomi'i.i:. A newspaper ollice,
more than almost any other business in
terest, is put to great inconvenience
when the malls are slovenly handled or
not distributed promptly on their arri
val. Forest Fisher's management of the
ollice in these respects, and In every
other, was all that could ho asked or de
sired, lie will cairy with him to Wash
ington the good will of this community
and their earnest wishes for his future
success.
Dr. GeisendorfiYsr wasgreatlv surprised
last night on receiving a dispatch from!
Seattle announcing the death at that i
place of Miss Hattie Talifi'ero, who vis '
recently in the doctor's employ as a
trained nurse. On account of failing
health Miss Talifiero left The Dalles!
about a ouplo of weeks ago with the
intention, after visiting Eonie friends in
the coast towns, of going back to her
old home in St. Louis. She had gone to
Seattle, and was (stopping with a Mrs.
liert'en, a sister of Krnest Middleton, of
this city. It was learned by a dispatch
received this morning that Miss Talill'ero
hud gone to bed in her usual health
Monday night. At 7 o'clock yesterday
i morning Mrs. Hfrgen, on entering her
room, found hor unconscious. A physi
cian was summoned and it was found
that she was suffering from an overdose
I of morphine administered by her own
j ban 1, probably unintentionally. She
never recovered consciousness and was
only kept alive by artificial respiration
till 0 o'clock, when she died. Miss Till
ill'ero belongs to one of the oldest fami
lies in St. Louis. She was a skilled
muse anil was thoroughly devoted to
her profession. Her sudden demise is
deplored by the few people in this city
who had the pleasure of her acquaint

almost needless to say their work was
done perfectly. The following otlicers
