Whereas, our beloved President "Wil
liam 2dcKinley has beep removed from the
circles of home, kindred and friendship,
and from the highest place of honor, au
thority and trust within the gift of this
great Nation; and this by the cruel hand
of an assassin from the ranks of anarchy;
therefore, we, the citizens of Dallas, Or.,

".First We sincerely sympathize with
the bereaved family and friends of the
late President commending to them and
to the sorrow-stricken people of our Na
tion the resignation of his dying words:
Ii is Gbd's way; his will be done.'
Second We deplore the fact that with
in the brief period of an average life
time, three of our Presidents have become
martyrs, and since anarchists have had
their full share in this dark record, we
believe our Nation fully justifled-in adopt
ing radical measures for the complete
suppression of this sect

memorial service was held at Post Hall,
Vancouver Barracks, by Chaplain C. C.
Bateman, who spoke from the text,
"And the King said unto his servants.
Know ye not that there is a Prince and
a great man fallen this day in Israel?"
II Samuel 111:38. After reviewing the
early life of the dead President and call
ing attention to many of his admirable
characteristics. Chaplain Bateman said:
"William McKiniey was born in the home
of patrlotism.and ripened In an atmos
phere imbued with devotion to American
institutions. He was a soldier, ready
and willing to do or die for his country.
His profound confidence in human nature
led him naturally to trust all men every
where. His life was a living epistle,
known and read of all men. The blow
that struck him down was a blow aimed
at the free institutions of our country,
and will be resented as such. Presidents
succeed each other, but lives such as
that of William McKlnley are none too
common, and the world cannot part with
them without Irreparable loss. Assaults
upon the President of the United States
should be regarded as capital offenses
and be punished as such."
A mass meeting was held at the Stand

call issued by Mayor Johnson, to make
arrangements for suitable memorial ser
vices next Thursday.

AREM OBLIGED BY LAW
PUBLISHERS DO NOT HAVE TO EX
CHANGE ALL BOOKS.
Snch Texts Are Those Which 'Have
Been .Used in the Past TrrcYenrs
Without Legal Sanction.
SALEM, Sept. 16. To those who have
observed public school affairs in this state
for the last two years, it will readily ap
pear that some disagreeable questions
may arise upon the exchange of text
books. After the Daly text-book law was
enacted in 1899, it was averred that the
old text-book contracts were rendered
null and void. Publishers who then held
contracts, and perhaps some who -did not,
secured the introduction of books other
than the state adoption wherever possible.
Aside from the desire to sell books,
o M t K M H- m t ( t i H
BROWN SWISS BULL
The above Is a truo type of the Brown Swiss cattle Imported from the noted
dairy districts of Switzerland. In Brown Swiss cattle we have a constitution
to which a fair amount of flesh Is normal, a contented but hearty disposition,
an absence of worry, but a great capacity for making: milk and butter fat. All
we have to do Is to work In accord with nature, and without sacrificing anything
of profitableness for the dairy we havo excellent beef. "We have a strong and
sturdy type of beauty, and especially that kind of beauty that shines from the
reflection of coin and which exemplifies the proverb "Handsome Is that hand
some does." A herd of these cattle were lately Imported to Oregon by F. A.
French, who will have them on exhibition at the Oregon State Fair.
e-----e-o---------fr '
there was the hope of securing an advan
tage when the new selection should be
made. Publishers used their influences
with public school principals to secure the
Introduction of their books in the place
of the books adopted in 1S35 under the
state law. The question may now arise
whether these books introduce"!! without
authority of law can be exchanged for
books recently adopted.
The text-book law re.qulres the pub
lishers to take In exchange books which
are In use or held for use in the public
schools, and which have been heretoforp
adopted. As the books Introduced solely
upon the authority of some school princi
pal do not come within the requirements
of the law. It will seem that publishers
of the new books cannot be compelled to
take them in exchange.
However, the publishers who secured
contracts under the Daly law have been
quite liberal in their rules regarding ex
changes, and they may take up these ex
tra series of books, even though they
could not be compelled to do so according
to law. If any patrons of the publlo
schools who have been Induced to huy
books not legally adopted should havo
trouble In effecting exchanges, they will
have no one to blame but themselves and
the principals who brought about the in
troduction of the books unlawfully.
The Daly law does not require the books
to be Introduced In the public schools un
til 15 months after the adoption in July
last. However, as the exchange and intro
ductory prices can not be taken advantage
of after December 81 of this year, the
new books will be Introduced in all the
schools at the opening of the present
school terms.
From reports received at Salem, It is be
lieved that supplies- of new text-books
have reached nearly every city, town anu
village In the state. A few small com
munities In remote sections complain that
the supply Is short, but this is probably
due to the failure of local dealers to order
a sufficient number of books. Dealers
who do but a small business In text-books
are likely to underestimate the quantity
they v will need for- tho first introduction,
and therefore order too small a number.
Of course, the distributing agents must
be guided almost entirely by the estimates
of the lo6al dealers. Complaints, how
ever, have been few.
Superintendent of Public Instruction
Ackerman says that from information
which reaches him, he knows that the
publishers of the newly-adopted books
have put forth every effort to distribute
books to each city and town designated
by their contracts, and to other places
where supplies will be needed. The lime
for distribution is so limited that it could
not be expected that all places would be
provided for. The books were not adopted
until nearly the middle of July, and after
that the contracts were to be made and
the books shipped out from the East.
Considering the difficulties that must be
met, the exchange has teen provided for
In a very satisfactory manner.
BUSINESS WILL SUSPEND.
Citizens Will Do Honor to the Mem
ory of the Late President.

HE WAS AN ANARCHIST.
"When He Rejoiced in the National
Calamity He Got a Drubbing-.
INDEPENDENCE, Or., Sept. 16. Patri
otism was at a fever heat at the C. H.
Fltchard hopyard, only two miles north

archist, began to preach his doctrine to
the pickers, and rejoiced at the probable
death of the late President A number of
the pickers decided that he had gone far
enough, and immediately set upon him.
But for the timely interference of less

very badly, As it was-, several teeth
were knocked out, and he was quite badly
bruised up.

MILLER TELLS HIS STORY
GIVES TESTIMONY IX THE FER
RIER, MURDER TRIAL.
He Saw J. W. Ferrler Begin Shoot
ing, hut Not the Firing of the Shot
Which Killed Holcomb.
CH1SHALIS, Wash., Sept. 16. In the
Ferrler case this morning, Prosecuting At
torney David Stewart read the Informa
tion charging Ferrler with the murder
of B. E. Holcomb, and made his state
ment of the case to the jury. The first
witness on the stand was W. W. Miller,
one of the live men present when the
shooting occurred. Miller's story was that
on the morning of April 1, J. W. FerrTer
and his brother, Sam Ferrler, came to his
house and asked him to get R. H. Hol
comb, a neighbor, to come out and set
tle a misunderstanding which had arisen.
J. W. Ferrler was armed with a Winches
ter rifle. The three went to a common
point near a barn belonging to Holcomb.
Miller went to Holcomb's house and he
returned with him. After a discussion ot
the troubles between the Holcombs and
Ferrler, R. H. Holcomb and J. W. Fer
rler shook hands and 'agreed that their
misunderstanding had been settled. Im
mediately after the handshaking, B. E.
Holcomb came upon the scene, armed
with a rifle, which he sat down against a
stump. Ferrler at the Fame time stepped
back and cocked his .own gun. He or
dered B. E. Holcomb to leave, telling him
that the trouble had been settled. R. H.
Holcomb also told his brother that the
trouble was over and advised him to go
home. B. E. Holcomb started home, pass
ing the witness, whose back was then to
him. After a sufficient time for him to
have gone probably 20 yards, J. W. Fer
rler applied a vile name to him and told
him to hurry up. At this, R. H. Hol
comb remonstrated, and Ferrler drew up
the gun without bringing It to his shoul
der, and shot R. H. Holcomb In the right
arm. The witness started to run as the
shooting commenced, but fell. At the mo
ment he fell, Ferrler fired a shot at him,
but missed, and Miller escaped behind a
building. He did not see the shot fired
that killed B. E. Holcomb, but heard at
least live shots. The direct examination
of the witness occupied only about 20
minutes' time, and the croes-examina-tlon
was then taken up and continued
until 2 o'clock. R. H. Holcomb was then
called to the witness stand, but was only

DEFY THE CITY,
Quaker "Doctora" Arrested Repeat
edly, But Refuse to Give In.
NORTH YAKIMA, Sept. 16 The con
troversy between the "Quaker" doctors
and the city authorities progresses mer
rily. When the "doctors" came here they
refused' to pay the license of $25 a day
for hawkers and peddlers. They offered
?100 for a license for three months. Mayor
Fechter refused to compromise. At their
first appearance on the streets they were
arrested. They went into the Federal
Court next day and secured an order
restraining the city from molesting them
until today, when the matter will come
up for argument. They returned and
went to selling. They were promptly ar
rested then for running a show without
a license. This was repeated at each
performance, and each time the "doctors"
were released by the Justice on bonds, and
returned to business at the old stand.
Last -Friday they were arrested three
times and taken Into the Justice Court,
charged with violating tho state phar
macy law by selling medlqlnos without
a license. Saturday they were arrested
on the same charge and taken before
Superior Judge Rudkln. A large crowd
had gathered at their stand In anticipa
tion of the arrest. Something of a scene
was created immediately after the serv
ing of the warrants when their attorney
jumped upon the platform, harangued the
crowd URon the rights of man and the
Constitution of the United States, and
went on with the dispensation of Quaker
remedies.
The "doctors" aver they have not had
enough yet, but will carry the fight to the
bitter end, and will then sue the Mayor
for damages. The sentiment of the citi
zens soems to be with the Mayor,
