Poll: County Observer J. C. HAYTER, KDITOR AND PUBIJ8HEH. Published Weekly at One Dollitr per- Yeiu. Strictly in Advance. DALLAS, OREGON, NoVEMBBBO, 1903 The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronize Dallas people. RE-ENACT THE OLD LAW. The average citizen dreads a a session of the Legislature about as much as he does an epidemic of small-pox. If any person doubts this statement, let him question the first half-dozen men he meets as to whether, in their opinion, a special session to remedy the defect in the new tax law is advisable. If the people of Oregon could only have assurance that the Legislature would meet and pass the needed legislation and then promptly ad journ, there would be no serious objection in any quarter to a special session being called. But the fear that other laws might be tinkered with and general legislation in dulged in for the full period of twenty days causes the great major ity of citizens to view a special session with grave apprehension. Governor Chamberlain, himself, seems to share this feeling, and has announced that he will not issue a call for a special session unless it shall be demonstrated to his satis faction that correction of this law is absolutely necessary for the pro tection of the public service and to prevent the placing of state, county and city officers at the mercy of warrant brokers. The Observer believes that the best interests of the state would be subserved by a prompt re enact ment of the old tax law. However, it should be thoroughly impressed upon the mind of every member of the Legislature that the people are in no mood for a lengthy session, and that if a special session is called the lawmakers will be ex pected to transact no business further than to make the necessary change in this law. Two or three days, at the outside, is time enough. If this course is pursued, no great expense need be incurred, and the taxpayers will save the enormous interest charges that they would be compelled to pay in case no session were called. The result of Tuesday's election possesses no particular National significance. The vote jn Ohio is an emphatic indorsement of Senator Hanna, and the victory won by Tammany has no bearing on National issues. New York State is Republican, and can be counted upon to give the Presidential ticket a heavy majority next year. It is also about time to take Indiana out of the doubtful column. The Hoosier State can safely be placed in the Republican list, when mak ing up a forecast of the result of the contest in 1904. Senator B. F. Mulkey wired County Clerk U. S. Loughary last night that he stills claims his resi dence in Polk county, and that he will take his Beat in the Senate if a special session of the Legislature is called. This is pleasing news to the people of Polk county, as it was feared that Senator Mulkey might have exercised his right of citizenship elsewhere and that the county might be put to th expense of holding a special election to fill a vacancy in the Senate. Out of the 84 appealed cases de cided by the Supreme Court and reported in Volume 42 of the Ore gon Supreme Court reports, 57 were affirmed, 23 reversed and four modified. Judge Hamilton, of the Second District, has the best record, with 100 per cent of his appealed cases affirmed Judge Burnett comes second with a record of 874 per cent of affirmances; Judge Boise takes sixth place, with 65 per cent of affirmances. Creffield and Brooks, two apostles of the "Holy Rollers,'' having no desire to roll in tar and feathers, rolled out of Corvallis Sunday night, and the excitement is now subsiding.

The transfer in volved in coin and stock $112,500.00 and was paid by a party of business men for a specific for Bright'a Disease and Dia betes, hitherto incurable diseases. They commenced the serious investi gation of the specific Nov. 15, 1900. They interviewed scores of the cured and tried it out on its merits by putting over three dozen cases on thn treatment and watching them. They also got phy sicianB to name ehronio, incurable cases, and administered it with the physicians for judges. Up to Aug. 25, eighty-seven per cent of the test cases were either well or progressing favorably. There being but thirteen per cent of failures, the parties were satisfied and closed the transaction. The proceedings of the investigating committee and the clinical reports of the test cases were published and will be mailed free on ap plication. Address Jons J.

Ninety-nlna of every one hundred people who have heart trouble can remember when it was simple Indiges tion. It is a scientific fact that all cases ot heart disease, not organic, are not only traceable to, but re the direct result of Indi gestion. All food taken Into the stomach Which fails of perfect digestion ferments and swells the stomach, puffing it up against the heart. This interferes with the action ot the heart, and In the course of time that delicate but vital organ becomes diseased. Mr. r Kaubla. of Nsvada.
