Pells County Observer J. C. HAYTER, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER. Published Weekly at One Dollar per Yeai. Strictly in Advance. DALLAS, OREGON, November 2u, 1003 The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronize Dallas people. CUBAN BILL PASSED. The Cuban bill was passed by the House at 4:32 P. M. yesterday by a rising vote of 335 to 21. MOODY IS VINDICATED. The proBecution failed to prove a single charge of dishonesty against Ex-Congressman Moody, and he was acquitted by the jury before the trial was finished. Yester day's Oregonian 8tays: "The result is just what every fair-minded person BUppufed it would be, and just what it ought to be. In the testimony for the prosecution throughout the trial the malicious intent was manifest. It is a pain ful matter. Mr. Moody had done no wrong, nothing even colorably wrong. As everybody who knows him had anticipated, it comes out that the accusation was worked up by a coterie of personal enemies, of malignant political opponents, and implacable rivals in business. This fury, of long standing, found its culmination in the effort to bring dishonor upon Mr. Moody's name. It was a 'trumped-up' case, from motives fully revealed during the trial. In the entire history of Ore gon there has been nothing like it hitherto, and for the honor of human nature we may hope that nothing like it will ever be at tempted again." The city of Medford, which has owned and operated its water and lighting system for many years, is advertising to sell the plant to the highest bidder. Bids will be re ceived by the city recorder up to December 1. The operation of the plant by the city has never been satisfactory in point of service or economy. It strikes us that about the best that Oregon republicans can do is to bury the wreckage that is strewn about the republican ramparts in this state, burn up the rubbish and build up a new republican party on the ruins of the old. The Reg ister has always been a firm believer in clean politics and although we have not seen the real article displayed in all its glory in Oregon yet we believe it exists and should be trotted out and sent around the track of republican politics at a Dan Patch gait. Eii gene Register. William Loughlin, of Mill Creek, renouDced his allegiance to Groat Britain yesterday, and declared his intention of becoming a citizen of the United States. The new Eugene theater was open ed Tuesday evening with the pre sentation of ''The Christian" by the Baker company. The performers wore greeted by a $900 house. The Observer hopes to see a neat and cozy little theater in Dallas before another yoar rolls around, and such a building will be put up next Spring if the Wood men's plans mature. F. II. Morrison, who is working on the plans for a suitable building, was in Portland a few days ago, and through the courtesy of the managers of the Marquani, Baker and Cordray thea ters, gained many new and valuable ideas as to how such a building should be constructed and furnished. Both Mr. Baker and Mr. Cordray were pleased to hear that a theater is con templated in Dallas, and will doubt less send us some good companies next Winter if the house is ready by that time. itching Skin I'istrv'ss by day and night That's the complaint of those who are eo unfortunate as to be afflicted with Eczema or Salt Rheum and out ward applications do not cure. They can't. The source of the trouble is in the blood make that pure and this scal ing, burning, itching skin disease will disappear. "I was taken with an Itching on my irmi which proved very disagreeable. I concluded it was salt rheum and bought a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparllla. In two days after I began taking it I felt better and it was not long before I was cured. Have rwvor hud any sklo disease since." Mas. Ida E. Wabd, Cove Point, Md. Hood's Sarsaparilla SCHOOL OFFICERS MEET Forty-Two Directors and Clerks At tend the Institute in Dallas. The County School Officers' Insti tute, held in the courthouse last Saturday, was largely attended. Not withstanding the inclement weather, forty-two directors and clerks and about as many teachers were present when the morning session opened at 10 o'olock. Interesting papers were read, and each was followed by a lively, good-natured discussion. Men prominent in educational work were present from other counties and took an active part in the work of the insti tute. Topics of importance to school officers were presented in an able manner by State Superintendent J. II. Ackerman, of Sulem; Prof. L. R. Alderman, of McMinnville; Frank Butler, of Falls City, and J. B. Shep ard, of Zona. County School Super intendent C. L. Starr gave a 30-minute talk on the "School Laws of Oregon," which was greatly appreciated by the directors and clerks. Superintendent Starr has made a thorough study of the school laws, and having familiar ized himself with sections which are obscurely worded or ure in any way likely to cause confusion, was able to explain them iu such a manner as to make their meaning clear in the minds of the school officers and teachers. The talk was helpful, and cannot fail to result in a more efficient government of the public schools of Polk county. This was the second school officers' meeting held in Polk county, and the great increase in interest and attend ance over that of the first meeting presages still better things for tlje future. These meetings promote a healthy interest in school work, bring about a closer sympathy between teachers and parents, and are an in valuable aid to the directors and clerks in the efficient performance of their duties. The friends of education in Polk county owe Superintendent Starr a debt of gratitude for his earnest and successful efforts In intro ducing this new feature in the public school work.

The jury returned a verdict of acci dental death on the man who fell from the window ledge on which he had fallen asleep. But the death was really due to '1 tTiA nrrwltir possible. There are a freat many ives sud denly termi nated as a result of carelessness, although the medical cer tificate may read " heart failure." When a man takes chances with his stomach and neglects the warning symptoms of diseese, he is Carelessly inviting calamity. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It enables the perfect digestion and assimi lation of food, which makes strength, ft stimulates the liver, cures biliousness, and removes bilious impurities from the blood. "I had been troubled with a pain Id lowet part of ray stomach for three years, so severe 1 bought it would kill me iu time," writes Mr. Aaron Van JJam, of (Kensington) 3549 119th St., Chicago, 111. "I could hardly work; it felt like a big weight hanging on me and gut so bad that I had to take medicine. I used Stomach Uitters for a time, but it did no good so I wrote to Dr. K. V. Pierce for advice, which he gave me im mediately. I followed his directions, userl two bottles of his medicine and was cured. I had a torpid liver which was troubling me instead ol cramps (as I thought), so Or. Pierce told me. I have pleasure in living now; have gained, in weight 15 pounds since then."

FROM SOUTH AFRICA New Way of Using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Mr. Arthur Chapman writing from Durban, Natal, South Africa, says: "As a proof that Chamberlain's Couah Rem edy is a cure suitable for old and young, I pen vou the following: A neighbor of mine had a child just over two months old. It had a very bad cough and the parents did not know what to give it. I suireested that if they would get a bottle of Chamberlain's Coutfh Remedy and put some upon the dummy teat the hahy was sucking it would nodoubtcure the child. This they did and brought about a quick relief and cured the baby." This remedy is for mile by Wilson Drug Company. SCCilf A 1 1 til ' -I r t i IsisJhSsv V iiifufi?

Finseth has just pur chased a Pianola. It comes from Eilers' Piano House, Portland, where Mrs. Finseth also purchased her choice little Schumann piano some time since. The Pianola can scarcely be called a musical wonder, for the reason that by itself it is absolutely noiseless, yet when it is attached to a piano, it en ables anv one to produce musical wonders. No knowledge of music whatever is necessary to enable any one to operate it; anything from a rag time to a grand opera can be piayeu upon it, and it can be attached to any piano, either upright or grand. Pianolas are becoming more ana more popular every day. Mr. L. C. Bruce, the genial representative of Eilers Piano House who delivered and set up Mrs. Finseth's instrument, in forms the writer that it is difficult for his concern, which is sole Northwest agent for tho Pianola, to get the in struments from the factory fast e nouch. Tho Pianola Is the only per fect instrument of this sort made, and sells at $250. Reduced Rates on Thanksgiving Day.
