She gets up at noon and spends the rest of not offering a compliment of some kind to the day “catching up.” It’s driving a wedge in everyone else at the party — which seems our marriage.

DAYS GONE BY BEETLE BAILEY GARFIELD BLONDIE DILBERT THE WIZARD OF ID LUANN ZITS BY MORT WALKER BY JIM DAVIS 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Sept. 5-6, 1916 Wanted — Four brides and four bride- grooms to take their vows in Happy Canyon. This is no joke. The program committee of the Round-Up evening show wants to stage four public weddings with the principals on horseback, and the irst to offer themselves will be accepted. On the last night of Happy Canyon last year a prominent Weston couple were married in the “street” of the “old town” and the event proved to be a popular one with the crowd. This year, the committee wants a wedding every night. All expenses of the wedding will be paid by Happy Canyon and the bridal couple will be given a present by the management. Prospectives will please communicate as early as possible with Roy Raley. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Sept. 5-6, 1966 A new $170,000 restaurant, aiming for the tourist trade, is planned for downtown Pendleton.

Bergquist, who is noted for his distinctively designed restaurants, already operates one in Baker.

Meanwhile, Oregon oficials still are trying to extradite a third 18-year-old Richland man — Duane R. Mills — who they believe was the brains behind the crime. Samuel D. Armatis, 19, of Richland pleaded guilty this morning — only minutes before his trial was to begin — to two counts of irst-degree robbery. Police say Armatis drove the getaway car for Jason O. Hughes and Duane R. Mills, both 18. On Tuesday, Hughes pleaded guilty to two counts of irst-degree robbery and two counts of second-degree kidnapping the day before his trial was to begin. Today is the 250th day of 2016. There are 116 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 6, 1916, the irst self-serve grocery store, Piggly Wiggly, was opened in Memphis, Tennessee, by Clarence Saunders. (The store was set up to allow customers to hand-pick their groceries from shelves, rather than request them from a clerk standing behind a counter.) On this date: In 1861, Union forces led by Gen. Ulysses S. Grant occupied Paducah, Kentucky, during the Civil War. In 1901, President William McKinley was shot and mortally wounded by anarchist Leon Czolgosz at the Pan-American Exposi- tion in Buffalo, New York. (McKinley died eight days later; Czolgosz was executed on October 29.) In 1925, the silent ilm horror classic “The Phantom of the Opera,” starring Lon Chaney, had its world premiere at the Astor Theater in New York. In 1939, the Union of South Africa declared war on Germany. In 1943, 79 people were killed when a New York- bound Pennsylvania Railroad train derailed and crashed in Philadelphia. In 1954, groundbreaking took place for the Shipping- port Atomic Power Station in western Pennsylvania. In 1966, birth control advocate Margaret Sanger died in Tucson, Arizona, at age 86, eight days before her birthday. South African Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd was stabbed to death by an apparently deranged page during a parliamentary session in Cape Town. In 1970, Palestinian guerrillas seized control of three U.S.-bound jetliners. (Two were later blown up on the ground in Jordan, along with a London-bound plane hijacked on Sept. 9; the fourth plane was destroyed on the ground in Egypt. No hostages were harmed.) In 1997, a public funeral was held for Princess Diana at Westminster Abbey in London, six days after her death in a car crash in Paris. Today’s Birthdays: Comedian JoAnne Worley is 81.
