Kyle, in Jobs addition Tuesday evening, 30 friends of the couple, mostly GAR and WRC members, gathered to remind the host that the date was the 35th anniversary of their marriage.

For the man just arrived from the East, these stories may have a fishy sound, but to the Oregonian they are not counted as worthy of par ticular notice. There is a temporary lull in football operations, but the fever will break out again in an intensifi ed form within a short ttme. it is but two weeks Until the game be tween the University of t Oregon and OAC elevens, a contest which always attracts wide attention. - It always involves the- Oregon college championship, and this year is no exception to the rule. In fact the northwest championship may be decided by it, and on these accounts interest in it will extend from limit to limit of the state. Both teams are in active preparation for the game, and each will contend tor every incn ot ground witn vigor and tenacity of trained athletes, de termined to win over every obstacle. Each team is an excellent one, and the game will probably be the best ever seen, at the college. THE BEST DOCTOR. -Rev. B. C. Horton, Sulphur Springs, Texas, writes, July 19. 1899.
