Prominent Couple Wed.
A telegraphic communication from
Toledo, Ohio, to yesterday’s Oregonian
announces the engagement of Louisa
Frances Niles of Toledo to Samuel
Gates of Hillsboro. The marriage
will occur Saturday and both will leave
immediately for Portland.
This engagement is the culmination
of a college romance in which there is
a touch of sadness. Mr. Gates was a
college chum and fraternity brother of
Charles Niles, a brother of the bride.
On a visit he met the sister. Later
Charles was drowned while canoeing
and Mr. Gates went to the funeral,
and spent several days, and the
romance culminates with the marriage
Saturday.
Mr. Gates is quite well known in
this city.
It was almost 16 to 1, but not quite.

Verboort team on the former’s grounds
Sunday. Haysacker and Susbaur were
the battery for Verboort; Fred Leopold
and Barrett for Banks. It was an aw
ful swatfest and the score-keeper had
to send to town for more paper before
the game could be concluded.
Lover’s Lane received its full share
of patronage Sunday and a party tells
us that cooings by wooers filled the air
all day. He stys that he was passing
a little nook and heard a voice plead
ing, “ ’oo know ’oo stole a kiss, now
’oo dive it back.” Guess who they
were? We have been asked not to
publish names till next week.
Rev. Howard Gilpatrick has tendered
his resignation as pastor of the Con
gregational church and it will be con
sidered next Sunday. Mr. Gilpatrick
is reticent as to his plans for the future,
but it is understood that he intends to
return to Maine.— Hillsboro Indepen

The plans for the new Methodist
church are in the hands of the archi
tect and will be ready for bids in prob
ably ten or twelve days. The sub
scription list is growing rapidly and
will be pushed to completion. The
people are responding generously to
the enterprise.—Hillsboro Independent.
