challenge has sent by a Portland nine
for May 8th, but this cannot be accepted
as there is no nine, and not sufficient
time to organizs and practice. Thoee

On Tuesday, April 26th, the Chronicle
Publishing Company will give to its pa
trons a morning paper instead ot the
evening edition. The necessity of a
morning paper that would take Asso
ciated Press dispatches and appear eo
the patrons could read it at the break
fast table, has long been felt in our city,
and at last we have decided to issue
such a publication. On ' account of the
struggle iu which this country and Spain
are about to be involved, at present it is
afl the more necessary to receive the
latest news at any price, and we ask
that the generous people of this section
will assist ns in this effort by their pa
tronage. There will be no evening pa
per issued and the paper will be pub
lished every morning except Monday,
and we will have it out iu time eo that
it can be sent on the stages leaving the
city; also on the early .morning trains.
This will be an Inducement for people
along the stage lines to subscribe for the
Daily Chbonicle, and we trust we will
receive a liberal patronage from them.

elin dress, leaning on the arm of her
future husband. Taking their places
under a bower of bridal wreatb, and
with a background of towering begonias
