PolS Ctosaiy Observer J. C. HAYTER, EDITOR AND PUBUSHKIl, Publlihed Weekly at One Dollar per Yeai Strictly in Advance. DALLAS, ORKCJON, MAT 15, 1803. The way to build up Dallas is to pat- VERY SOLICITOUS The Democratic press of the first congressional district of Oregon is remarkably solicitous about the welfare of our Republican president says the Oregon City Enterprise They are right up in arms for fear the Republicans of this district may in some unforseen manner, admin ister a rebuke to the president. If this interest were sincere and deep rooted, the situation might be dif ferent but it lies only as deep as Democratic ambition to send a Democrat to congress. This would be a rebuke to the administration far more serious than the district is willing to stand. Oregon Republi canism is solid for Roosevelt, the Republican candidate for congress is a Roosevelt Republican from the top of his intellectual head to the soles of his busy Oregonian feet that have taken thousands of steps in behalf of the state for which he has ever been an untiring and ceaseless worker. The Republican candidate re tired from the position of commis sioner of the general land office, not because he lacked being in harmony with the administration, but because he could not get along with Hitchcock, secretary of the interior. For over two years Mr. Hermann has sought to be released from his position owing to the strained relations with Mr. Hitch cock. Under McKinley's adminis tration Mr. Hermann offered his resignation which was declined by President McKinley. Roosevelt Jet Mr. Herma n n go on Mr. Herma n n 's request. That is the condition of things, however our Democratic breathern may attempt to make it appear otherwise. None but the friendliest of feelings exist between the President and Binger Hermann and the people generally are begin ning to fully understand the situa tion. Democratic solicitation for Presi dent Roosevelt is a piece of politics that won't go down Republican throats. It will make votes for Herman and detract from the strength of Reames. WANTS HERMANN ELECTED President Theodore Roosevelt, a few days ago, said to Hon. Thomas II. Carter, president of the National Louisiana Purchase Ex position: "There is not one word of truth in the rumor that I am opposed to Mr. Hermann's election; but on the contrary, I heartily and earnestly dcBire his election. I hope that every voter who believes in the principles of the party and wishes well for the administration will cast his vote for Mr. Hermann. The rumored quarrel between Mr. Hermann and myself is without foundation. Our relations are, and al vays have been, cordial." That settles it. Mrs. Alice Gerkie, of Albany, is vis iting her niece, Mrs. T. A. Riggs. Mrs. Mary Wilson and daughter, Miss Nannie, arrived home Thursday evening from an extended visit in Missouri. The Dallas Woodman drill team, under command of Captain V. P. Flske, will go to Tortland to take part in the reception to President Boose-v.-lt. CICM Dyspepsia Curo Dbssts what you eat.

It cza't kzfp but do yea nood BELT & CHEItRINGTON The Street Committee of the Dalian city council is making a thorough inspection of all side walks," and will order improve ments or repairs where the same are necessary. In all cases where property-owners refuse or neglect to repair their walks after being notified to do so by the committee, the council will order the old walks torn out entirely, and new ones built. At the present prices charged for lumber, it will pay the owners of defective or dangerous walks to move promptly when notified by the committee to make repairs, in order to save the ex pense of new waks. The street committee means business, and is going to see that every sidewalk and crosswalk in the city is in a safe condition before the Summer season begins. Does it ever occur to those who are fighting the proposed water works for Dallas that every move they make puts the city to a heavy and burdensome expense? That without this opposition on the part of three or four persons the city would right now have a good sup ply of mountain water? And that if they were to succeed in defeating the proposed improvement, the prospects for water-works of any kind would be blighted for years to come? The little handful of men who are antagonizing the will of the people of Dallas, as clearly ex pressed in two elections, should consider well these questions, and profit thereby.

Health does more than tint the skin with beauty ; it puts music Into the voice and buoyancy into the step, as well as happiness into the heart. A great many women covet beauty and are constantly, seeking aids to beautify them. Let a woman first seek perfect health and all other charms shall be added to her. There can be no general health for women while there is disease of the delicate womanly organism. The first step to perfect health is to cure womanly diseases by the use of Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription. It establishes regu larity, dries weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. I used four bottlei of your "Favorite Pre scription ' and one of ' Golden Medical Discov ery "writea Mrs. Elmer D. Shearer, of Mount hope, Lancaster Co.. Pa., "and can say that I am cured of that dreaded disease, uterine trouble. Am in better health than ever before. Every one who knows me is surprised to see me look so well. In June 1 was so poor In health that at times I could not walk. To-day I am cured. I tell everybody that Dr. Pierce's medicines cured me." Freb. Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser is sent free on receipt of stamps to pay expense of mailing only. Send 21 one-cent stamps for the book in paper covers, or 31 stamps for the cloth bound volume. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N.

Again on Tuesday, an alarm was given that the residonce of Dave Courter was burn ing. The fire was discovered before it had gained much headway and was easily put out. Defective flues were the cause of both fires. Some of these times we will awake but too late to the realization of how little we are prepared to cope with fire. The Wastes of the Body. Every seven days the blood, muscles and bones of a man of average size loses two pounds of wornout tissue. This waste cannot be replenished and the health and strength kept up with out perfect digestion. When the stomach and digestive organs fail to perform their functions, the strength lets down, health gives way, and disease sets up, Kodol Dyspepsia Cure enables the stomach and digestive organs to digest and assimilate all of the wholesome food that may be eaten into the kind of blood that rebuilds the tissues and protects the health and strength of the mind and body. Kodol cures indigestion, Dyspepsia and all stomach troubles. It is an ideal spring tonic. Sold by Belt & Cherrington. O. E. Focht, of Ballston, was a Dal las visitor this week. R. E. BRYAN & SON R.
