SonHtorn Fairbanks and Dolliver
were given a rousing reception in
Portland 1 ast Satu i d ay even i ng. Fully
C000 people attended the Bpeaking at
the Armory, and as many more were
unable to gain admission to the hall
Prominent Republicans from all parts
of Oregon were in attendance, and
enthusiasm ran high. The speakers
were introduced by Senator John H
Mitchell, and were accorded an ovation
at the opening and closing of their
talks. Both Senator Fairbanks and
Sonator Dolliver have always been
loyal friends of Oregon, and the peo
ple of this state were glad of an
opportunity to show their appreciation
of this friendship. Senator Fairbanks
delivered a thoughtful, scholarly ad
dress, devoting his talk almost ex
clusivoly to the great issues confront
ing the people of the United States,
He answered every Democratic argu
ment worthy of an answer, and did it
Id a pleasing and convincing way
His talk throughout was that of an
able and dignified statesman, and
made a profouud impression upon the
big audience. Senator Fairbanks
avoids partisanship of the offensive
sort, and makes votes for the Re
publican ticket. Senator Dolliver
folluwed with a pleasing speech, in
which ho paid a high tribute to the
State of Oregon for its unswerving
loyalty to the principles of good gov
ernmont. The meeting was a grand
success, and while the result of the
coming election in Oregon has never
been in doubt, the visit of these two
dijtinquished statesman will have the
effect of adding many votes to the
Republican majority in this state.
Sonator Dolliver wa9 obliged to retire
from the present tour at Portland, be
ouuse of a cold and sore throat which
Incapacitates him from speaking.
His place was taken by Senator Fulton
of Oregon, who will continue with the
party during the remainder of the
tour.

Julius N. Hart, a prominent attor
ney, of this city, has formed a co
partnership with Ex-Senator William
Smith at Baker City, and will leave
for his new field of work the last of
this woeic. Mr. Hart has had this
change of location in view for severe
weeks, but it was not until his recent
visit to Baker City that the arrange
meuts for the partnership with Seuator
Smith were made. Mr. Hart's fami
will remain in Dallas a short time be
fore joining him in Baker City.
The new firm of Smith & Hart wi
be one of the strong law firms
Eastern Oregon. Senato Smith en
joys a wide acquaintance, and
accounted one of the best lawyers east
of the Cascade mountains. He makes
a specialty of mining and water-right
litigation, and has a large and hicra
tive practice.
Mr. Hart is a bright and active
lawyer, and has had a successful
career ever since his admission to the
bar. A short time after being ad
mitted.he was elected to the responsible
position of District Attorney for the
Third Judicial District. He served
the people acceptably in this office for
four years, and at the same time bui
up a paying civil practice in his office
in Dallas. He is a tireless worker,
and has always enjoyed the respect
and confidence of his clients. Mr,
Hart is prominent in the councils of
the Republican party, and at the last
State convention was honored with the
nomination for the office of Presi
deutial Elector.
Mr. and Mrs. Hart will be missed
in lodge and social circles in Dallas,
and their departure is a matter
general regret. The best wishes
many friends will go with them
their new home 111 Baker City.
How to Help Your Girls,
Will Qo East.
Mrs. Phya Daly has sold her hand
some home on Oak street to I. F
Yoakum, of Bridgeport, and with her
son, Floyd, will go to New York to
spond the winter. The Dalj' residence
is one of the finest in Dallas, having
been rebuilt in modern style after its
partial destruction by fire a few yeai
ago. The price paid for the property
was not made public. Mr. and Mrs
Yoakum will move to Dallas about
November 1'.
Many New Sidewalks.
As a result of the recent inspection
by the Street Committee, the City
Council will order forty or fifty new
sidewalks built in Dallas at once.
They will also serve notice 011 about
seventy-five property owners to place
the walks in front of their respective
premises in a good state or repair
within the next five days. The city
will build several crosswalks, and will
repair many of the old ones. These
improvements are ordered at this time
because they are needed, and for th
further reason that little or no work
of this kind can be done during the
rainy winter months. The city can
not afford to take any chances of ex
pensive and troublesome damage
suits on account of injuries caused by
defective sidewalks.

In brief, Osteopathy is, "Practical
Anatomy and Physiology skillfully
and scientifically applied as a manual
treatment or disease." It must not
be comfounded with methods uimed to
euro disease through the mind.
Osteopathy gives nature a chance
by providing for free circulation
blood, aud un-impeded nerve force. It
requires neither faith, drugs nor knife
Its keynote is adjustment, and
through its meritorious success it lias
won legislative recognition in
States, and is practiced in every State
in the Uuion.
Osteopathy receives the support and
patronage of intelligent anil reason
ing people wherever it is known janiong
which will mention those of national
reputation such as Sen. J. B. Foraker
