On i,he Alleys.

F. L. Miller, the clothier, made q
ptenominai play on the bowling alley
Tuesday evening. In four consecutive
games he made scores of Sc, 81, 81, S.;
a27 pins in four games. an average Of S5H,
being much the highest yet made on
these alleys, and it is doubtful if Portland
has a better record. Mr. Miller has
developed wonderfully lately and puts up
fine, strong game. He is never in =
hurry, is always careful and studies his
alley well. Then he gives that long
! endulum sweep aud the ball goes speed
ing to the work of certain execution.
r. E. Gibson aud DIR. Altman are fine
bcwlers. DIR. Lester is increasing his
average and Jack Mayo has some big
figures to his credit. Several others are
coming cut we'll and Corvallis will soon
have q team that can compete with any
team in the valley.

Willie's Woes.

Billy Williams will have to appear be-
fore his honor, Judge Greffoz, again.
Billy is in trouble. Mrs. Williams doubt.
less believing that her husband shonld
not monopolize all the family fun, started
on trip Monday without informing
Billy. He searched diligently Tuesday
and finally learned that his wife and a
young lady In driven 10 Junction City
aud leaving the horse and buggy then
boarded tile souih houi d train.
For some reason Williams imagined
that Clem Hodes ~as concerned in his
wife's disappearance and entering the
store of A. Hodes Tuesday evening he
made his suspicious known in language
that even surpassed an Oregonian edi-
-torial. Glenn was natnrall: indignant
and though he has never posed as a
fighting man. in the little rounding tha t
ensued, he hurled Williams eut of the
store in hurry and landed his fists re-
peatedly on the face of the discarded hus-
band. The two were separated and
Williams was arrested, but as he was
anxious to catch the train at Albany and
begin the pursuit of his wife, he was
allowed to deposit cash bail for his ap-
pearance.
The husband is AZ years old and the
wife IS. Ordinarily family fracases are
not legitimate news items, but when they
are forced upon the public a newspaper
is bound to take notice.
A dispatch to the Oregonian, Thurs
day, from Eugene, contains these inter-
esting details:
"Willian Williams arrived here today
with his wife, after whom he had a lively
chase. Williams is a farmer, and resides
near Corvallis. 1t seems he sold some
cattle. and had about $500 as the pre-
ceeds of the sale. this he left with his
wife, who is only IS years of age. while
he went to Portland to transact some
business. A friend in Corvallis tcIe-
xraphed him to return home, as some
thing was wrong. He returned home
antl.discovered that his wife and young
girl of the name Of Hattie Raymond had
lett, and that his money and horse and
buggy were missing. He started in pur-
suit Immediately, and overlook the fugi-
tives this morning near Cottage Grove.
The woman denied having the money,
but had the horse and buggy, which was
recovered. Williams returned to this
city with his wife, but the Raymond girl

might to t.ve1take the>won,en.

A Man
Well Dressed.

A neatly-dressed man has that
much the advantage over his less
tidy friend. We all realize the
advantage is not a slight one.
Printers ink is too expensive to
be used in an extensive essay on
the benefits of
Good Clothes.
It is presumed that you wish
to make good appearance; at
least when you are dressed up"
Then the questions
What to buy?
and
Where to Buy?
come up for consideration. The
mere expenditure of money will
not insure satisfaction in the
matter of dress. A stylish ap-
pearance is the result of
Taste,
not
Extrayagance
ard in these days of prosperity a
workingman can make as good
an appearance i'll his dress as a
millionaire. The most striking
feature in the fall and winter
fashion in mems clothing is
Neatness.
The well-made, we'll fitting
suits now being received at the
store of F. L. MILLER are mod
els Of neatness. The quality and
appearance of the cloth; the ele-
giant finish; the lining; the sew
ing; the buttons; in every par
ticular they show that they are
put up to please people with
good taste.
