nent liepuDiican in wnicn he says
there is an error in the press giving
Mr. Hermann s vote in Orleans pra
cinct at 39. He says it should have

Dr. Morrow is an active worker in the

ment Association which has charge of
the arrangements for the Carnival to
be held in that city later in the Sum
mer. The attractions for the big street
show in the metropolis will be f urnish-
ed'by the Southern Carnival Company,
which carries 300 people.
The good behavior that prevailed
in Dallas during the Carnival was a
matter of general remark and favor
able comment by visitors from other
towns. No fights occurred, and there
was but little drunkeness. The big
crowd, composed of all classes and
conditions of people, was at all times
orderly and quiet, and gave the officers
no trouble. City Marshal J. M. Grant
and his corps of assistants were ever
vigilant, and many compliments were
heard for the way in which they per
formed their duties. Crooks and
"sure-thing" men were spotted the
moment they struck town and oidered
to move on, and neither the officers
nor Mr. Arnold would permit
gambling games of any kind to be
carried on anywhere about the Carni
val grounds. The saloon men em
ployed special officers at their own
expense to preserve order in their
places of business, and no boisteroua-
ness or disorderly conduct was per
mitted.

BOY SPENT, 75 CENTS
And tha Old Man Was "All Tore Up"
About It.
The kickers, like the poor, we have
with us always. While the world
would probably not be complete with
out them, we must confess that we
never have been able to see any real
necessity for their existence. Of the
thousands of people who visited the
Carnival last week, it ia safe to say
that ninety-nine per cent were highly
pleased and satisfied with the enter
tainment offered. The remaining one
per cent is made up of a class of in
dividuals to whom the spending of a
dime is more painful than the twist
of a dentist's forceps, and to whom
death would come as a welcome relief
were they called upon to cough up a
whole dollar.
One penurious old farmer called at
the Observe office to denounce the
entire show as a ''graft," and, upon
being questioned as to the cause of
his displeasure, gave out the startling
information that one of his boys had
spent 75 cents the day before for
peanuts, pink lemonade, rides on the
merry-go-round and other pleasures
dear to the youthful heart.- The
miserable old skin-flint looked as if
he were booked to spend the remainder
of hia days in the poorhouse on ac
count of thia prodigality on the part
of hia reckless son. ,
The boy, who had accompanied the
old man, wore a satisfied grin, and
apparently had no kick coming. It
was evident that he felt that he had
got the worth of his money. He had
watched the trick mule; had fed pea
nuts to the monkey, and enjoyed him
self in a thousand boyish ways. We
will wager that the happy memory of
the good time enjoyed at the Dallas
Carnival will occur to that boy a
thousand times this Summer aa he
toils and sweata in the harvest field
and hop yard to save his parsimonious
old dad $40 or $50 that otherwise
would have to bo paid out for hired
help. The boy enjoyed spending that
75 cents, aa he had a right to enjoy it ;
but the old man Was out the price, and
imaginea he can see penury and woe
staring him in the face.
The Carnival was a good thing, if
for no other purpose than to loosen up
a few old tight-wads from whom it is
usually impossible to get money with
out the aid of a pair of pinchers. The
farmera who believe in enjoying life
aa they go along, brought their
familie8 to town and had a good time.
They were not obliged to spend any
great sum of money, and were given
value received. They will go back to
their homes glad that they attended
the Carnival, and rested and refreahed
for the hard work that cornea with the
harvest season.
RUNAWAY ACCIDENT

Edward Bell, of McCoy, who has a

at some object at the roadside and ran

the ground and badly injured about

If any man who attended the box
ing contest at City Hall last Friday
evening expected to see a rough,
brutal exhibition, he was doomed to
disappointment. The contest through
out waa conducted in a clean, fair
manner, and waa a splendid exhibi
tion of the manly art of self-defense.
There waa no purse, for the partici
pants, and no betting at the ringside.
The go between Jimmy Reilly and
Frank Newhouse, of Denver, was
keenly enjoyed by the orowd. New
house is a skillful boxer, but was
clearly outclassed by Reilly, who is a
quick, hard hitter and a clever ring
general. Referee Martin Denny gave
the decision to Reilly at the end of the
seventh round. The 10-round prelim
inary between two youngsters, Kid
Murray, of Spokane, and Eddie Mur
phy, of Portland, furnished unlimited
amusement for the spectators, and
resulted in a draw. Tne crowd was
at all times quiet and well-behaved.
