Love at First Sight
Ne'er occurs more genuinely than in the meeting of the fem

Of course those handsome Imported Novelties in Dress Pat

inine enthusiasm can devise, and we must confess that we think
they are handsome. Our line at 50 cents is large and complete, and
when purchasing particular attention was paid to have our goods at
his price, attractive, of good value and in great variety.

BRIEF MENTION.
Leaves From the Notebook of Chronicle
Keporters.
The weather predictions for today
are "probable showers." an for tomor
row are, "fair and cooler."
Mr. W. F. Soesbe of Hood River was
in the city today. He expects to move
- to the Willamette valley in a few days.
Mrs. O. M. Boardman, of Chenowith
creek died yesterday afternoon, and we
understand her little baby died the day
before.
The local land officers here received
instructions today to move the land
office into the building recently occupi
ed by the poBtoffice.
The Epworth League of theM. E.
chnrch will give an entertainment dur
ing fair week, consisting of tableaux,
vocal and instrumental music, and a
scarf drill.
Oar local cyclists are trying to get
up a series of races for the fair. At
present it is proposed to have a half-j
mile dash, mile and three-mile races,
and a five-mile handicap.
About seven hundred miles of weather
has passed through town since daylight.
It loaded up with sand just east of
town and winged its way on towards
the populist camps of Nebraska.
The ladies of the M. E. church will
serve meals during the fair in the build
ing east of the First National bank, for
merly occupied by Mrs. LeBallister.
Lunch will be served from 12 to 2 o'clocs
and dinner from 5 to 8. All meals 25
cents each.
The recorder's office this morning
made a water-haul, not a victim show
ing up. When the. reporter called this
morning, the recorder, street commiss
ioner and coroner, were having a three
cornered quarrel about whose turn it

A big flock of sheep was brought over
from the Mt. Adams ranges last night.
They filled the street for three blocks,
and seemed as numerous as the band
' the immortal Sancho Panza told of to his
illustrious master at the wonderful ad
venture of the fulling-mill. There were
several thousand of them..
Yesterday in mentioning the fact that
. the Epworth League would give an
entertainment during fair week we in
advertantly wrote "dance for drill."
we have no desire to set the members
of the league to dancing against their
will hence make this correction which
may be also considered an apology.
On accountof the falling off of business
consequent necessity of reducing ex
penses, Marshal Grady has called for
resignation of all of his deputies except
J. D. Coleman, George Humphrey and
the office deputy and bookkeeper. Mr.
Grady Bays he can run the business with
this force. Matt P. Murphy, the deputy
far this district, goes with the balance.
Street Commissioner Butts this morn
ing replaced the railing on the bridge
across Mill creek. His face had a sor
rowful look, and in response to a sym
pathetic inquiry he said: "It's a
measly shame the way I am forced to
work against my own interest. As
street commissioner I had to fix that
railing, when if I could have let it alone
I might have got a job as coroner."
And then he smiled.
The Last Boy.
The little Ryan boy who eo suddenly
disappeared Wednesday night has not
yet been heard from, although a dili
gent search has been, kept up. The
boy is said to be very steady and manly
and it does not seem possible that he
has taken it into his head to runaway.
The fact that be put on his old clothes
would rather be in favor of the runa
way theory. He was last seen about 6
o'clock Wednesday evening on the bluff
near his home, but the rocks have been
carefully looked over without finding
any traces of him. There are but three
theories to account for his absence, one
that he has run away, another that
tramps have kidnaped him, and the
third that he has gone to the river and
drowned. The most . probable of the
three is that he has gone to the county
to some one he knows, is afraid to go
home, and baB managed to' deceive
those whom he is' visiting. His parents
are nearly frantic and it is hoped the
mystery will be speedily solved.
For the Fair.
Bills Allowed.
The secretaries of the fair will be at
Wingate Hall tomorrow at the following
hours: from 10 to 12, from 2 to 4 and
from 7 to 9, to receive entries for the ex
hibits. All. the denartments excent
that of stock will be represented and
those who have entries to make should
go at once. Entries close at 5 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon, and to give the
managers a chance the work should be
started at once. Three or four of our
merchants here have agreed to make ex
hibits, and this example should prove
contagious. With a little energy the
hall can be made very attractive and
thus serve as an advertisement for next
year. The old proverb that what is
worth doing at all is worth doing well, is
evidently correct, and we hope our peo
ple will not only do. but do well what
they do, do. Do thou, ditto.

Holds Five Days.
These cooler days and frosty nights,
Tell us fall weather is here,
And the cold, chilly winds,
A reminder that winter is near.
A gentle shower which proved a bless
ing in disguise in the way of settling the
dust and helping the roads, fell the
other day. .
Farmers are busy hauling grain as
the thresher's day of grace is about
ended, around Dufur and vicinity at
least.
Mr. Thos. Harris went through with
his sheep from the mountains, and E.
A. Griffin also removed his to their
winter quarters.
Mr. Chas. Johnston has been spending
the past two weeks in the berg with his
brothers.
Little Lewis Deitrich, son of Dr.
Deitrich, is. staying in Dufur attending
school.
Mr. A. K. Dufur has a new addition to
his mill in the shape of a chopper.
Mrs. Thomas has built a nice conserv
atory on the south side of her residence.
Dr. J. H. Kane has his sign out ready
for business, and is soon to have a new
office adjoining the drugstore.
The other day while Mr. Monroe
Heisler was out driving with his family,
the horses ran away and threw Mrs.
Heisler onto the ground, dislocating her
hip. Dr. Deitrich attended the injury
but from last accounts she is improving
but slowly. Quiz,

Sentiment and Syrup.
Mr. and Mrs. James A. Crossen took
their bridal trip yesterday morning. It
was a little late, but "Jimmy" says bis
duties as postmaster prevented him
making the trip before. The trip was
made from his father's store, he asking
Mrs C. to ride, on seeing the new deliv
ery wagon standing by the door. He
didn't think the proposition wiuld be
accepted, but it was, and that so quickly
that he couldn't back out. So the young
couple climbed into the wagon which
contained one jug of maple syrup (ap
propriate for a honey moon) that was
destined to render more palatable the
matutinal hot cakes of the writer hereof,
It isn't everybody, not even every ed
itor that can have his family groceries
brought home by the parties to a wed-
ning, but although it seems'high toned,
we wish to remark that there is nothing
too rich for us. This was James A,
first attempt to run a bluff on Mrs.
James A. and like many another newly
wedded man, ; he found it wouldn't
work.
