It seemed that one-halfof Eugene in vlud the other half to dinner yeater day, and the noble bird waa hand somely carved at many a festive board. It was eaeutlally a day for private dinner, aud with no public events going on, the streets were deserted until In the afternoon, wheu many culls were made, for tbe sunshine In duced pedestrlanlsm. HCItOOL CHARITY. The annual distribution of food and; clothing to the worthy poor through the Instrumentality of tbe publi' school baa again been fruitful with good results. Many were tbe heart made happy by this mean, over 3 i femllie ts-iiig assisted. Tbe following article were distributed, having been siaacHiHo partus ahi aow out August Klsher, a well known farmer, who reside about two mile outb of F.ugens, ha been missing lnoe Friday morning and varloua conjecture have been made a to hla extended absence. Mr Fisher left home Friday morning about o'clock telling his wife he waa going to take a bunt for bird for the Sunday and Chriitmaa dinners. Con trary to his usual oaatom Mr Fliber tied up hi dog before leaving, and took his rllle, a large 00-80 caliber In stead of bl shotgun. Half an hour afterward Mr Fliher loosened the dog which immediately set out on the trail of bl master, but returned alter a time and for some lime predated In howling dlscotiRonately. Whether the dog found M r Fisher and ws eut home or n t cannot yet tie told. Searching parties of SO or more per sons bunted for Mr Flatter Sunday aad yes'erday without avail and a much larger one Is out today, o that It la probable some trace of tbe man will aoon be found. Mr KUher Is about 46 years of age aud haa a wife, aud daughter 18 years old, aud a son 14 years old. Hlnoa his continued absence aome things have come to light which indicate that Mr Pisher may bare taken bis own life. His aotlon In taking a rifle Instead of shotgun and dog to hunt birds Is one peculiar thing aud on leavlug be re marked to Mra Fisher "I may be back this evening, but If I don't c.nne It Will be best for you to aay nothing about It." About one year ago Marshal stile took from Mr Fiahsr a bottle of strychnine whloh Flsber said he In tended to use In killing himself. Mr Stiles at III baa tli.' si rich nine In his oflloe, but had made no mention of tbe strychnine luoident to anyone until after Mr Flshsr's disappearance. Prom these things a probable sulclda can be aonjectured until tbe truth Is known. Saturday eveulng word waa brought to Eugene about the man's disappear ance and arrangemeula were made al that time to get assistance In tbe searching parties. ADDITIONAL PAR I ICI'LARB. C. M. H'1'n returned tins ufternoon from the Fisher farm and gtye further Information regarding the man s dls appearnii.". Mr. Hoin ttei tbe wife aud dniii hter Incline to the opinion that Mi Fisher I not dead, but haa become tempirarlly derauged; that ha aald goodbye to both and that he would lie back by Christ mm. He may have wandered toward the upper Mr Kenxle Bridge, where he has friends, and Is thought to have beeu seen by H. Bllgbton psseing through Spring field Friday forenoon. DE8CKIPTI0N.
