WOODMEN MINSTRELS
McMinnville Camp Will Put On Its
Big Show in Dallas Tuesday
Night.
Arrangements were completed yes
terday for the appearance of the Mc
Minnville Woodmen Minstrels at the
Dallas City Hall next Tuesday eve
niiii;. The boys played to crowd
houses two nights in McMinnville
last week, and the papers of that city
say it was the most enjoyable minstrel
entertainment ever given there. The
McMinnville News says:
"As a usual thing an amateur min
strel show never fulfills the expecta
tioDs of the public. But it falls tothe
local camp of Woodmen, under the
supervision of D. A. Doty, to not only
come up to general expectation but to
accomplish what is seldom done in
McMinnville reproduce the same bill
a second evening and greet a house
On Thanksgiving evening the opera
house was filled to overflowing.
"After the opening number by the
company, Delwin Warren rendered 'Is
It Love? in a very satisfactory man
ner, and responded to an encore. Fred
Boardman followed in a beautiful
bass solo, 'When You are Here, Love,'
and sang the last verse softly as an
encore, M. m so Tired o Llvln,' was
the title of Dave Doty's song, but he
didn't act like it; he, too, had to ap
pease the audience with a second pro'
duction, as did Mr. Wheeler in the
'Song of the Anvil.' Wm. T. Macey
sang 'Only a Soldier Boy,' in his
ususual easy and pleasing style. Of
course the 'end men' kept everyone
aware of their presence between songs,
i'H. S. Park 'and his African harp'
entertained the audience previous to
the appearance of the 'Woodmen'
quartet which consisted of Dell
Wheeler, Bill Logan, Dell Warren
and Dave Doty. They rendered 'Down
in the Deep,' in a most captivating
way, responding to twoencores. Harry
Woodrum, Will Kingery, C. Hender
shott and B. F. Cannon became in
volved in some awful predicaments in
a sketch entitled 'Absent Minded.'
Dr. H. L. Toney, champion U. of M.
Gym. team, performed on the flying
rings, winning round after round of
applause. Elmer Cummins was not
improperly designated on the pro
gram as slackwire equilibrist. His
feats are simply wonderful. In 'The
Haunted Music Room,' Messrs. Park
and Doty made everyone laugh until
their sides ached. D. W. Feely, Harry
Connoway on the cornet, Dell Warren,
on the saxophone and Howard Kauff-
man on the trombone, greatly pleased
their auditors in three selections. The
Woodmen drill team concluded the
program with their drill. The affair
was well advertised and well managed
from conception to completion."
Admission, 25, 35 and 50 cents.

Dallas was thrown into a state of
great excitement at 1 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon by a telephone message
from Monmouth saying that the Ore
gon State Normal School building
was burning and asking for help
from this city. Ob account of the
absence of transportation facilities, it
was impossible to send any part of the
fire apparatus, but a large crowd of
men and boys boarded the motor and
were soon speeding toward Monmouth
at a lively rate. The run of seven
miles was quickly made, and
when the train arrived in the Normal
town the Dallas people rushed to the
aid of their neighbors, who, by heroic
work, however, had gotten the flames
under control. The Independence
hook and ladder company arrived on
the scene a few minutes later and lent
valuable aid in putting out the fire.
The fire started on the roof on the
West side of the building and burned
over about one-third of the surface.
The interior of the building was dam
aged to the extent of about $1000 by
smoke and water. The total damage
Is estimated at $2500, covered by in
surance. The are originated rrom a
heating pipe.
acnool will be reopened as soon
as tne repairs, to tne building can
be made. The good work of the
students and citizens in saving this
valuable building is entitled to the
highest praise.

One Minute Cough Cure gives Imme
diato relief in all cases of Cough,
Croup and LaGrippe because it does
not pass immediately into the stomach,
but takes effect right at the seat of the
trouble. It draws out the inflanima
tion, tieais and sootnes and cures
permanently by enabling the lungs to
contribute pure, life-giving and life
sustaining oxygen to the blood and
tissues. Dr. Armstrong of Delia, Tex.,
prescribes it daily and says there is no
better cough remedy made. Sold by
