DALLAS, OREGON, Januaby IS, 1904 The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronize Dallas people. The National Democratic con vention will be held in St Louis, Wednesday, July G. The place and dute for the convention were fixed by the National committee at a meeting held in Washington, Tuesday. A strong renolution in favor of the 1905 Fair in Portland, Oregon, was adopted by a unani mous vote of the committee. Oregon's delegation in Congress, assisted by leading citizens of Portland, are doing good work for the 1905 Fair bill. The Senate committee on expositions, after hearing the arguments of the Ore gon men, decided unanimously to report the bill favorably. It is now confidently believed that the measure will pass both houses by an overwhelming majority. With a Government appropriation of nearly two and one-half million dollars, the success of the Le.if and Clark Centennial Exposition will no longer be in doubt.

Prominent Breeders From All Over Western Oregon Are in Attendance-Exhibit Is Largest in History of the Association. The tribe of Buttinski U numerously represented down at the old woolen mill building this week. Billy goats and Nanny goats of high degree are on exhibition in large numbers, and hundreds of visitors are in town to see and admire the fleet-footed, silken haired little animals. Western Ore gon ranks high among the goat raising countries, and some of the finest Angoras the world has ever produced are on exhibition in Dallas this week. Neither pains nor expense have been spared by the Oregon breeders in securing the very best animals, and visitors to the show are privileged to admire many direct de scendants of the famous flocks of Turkey and South Africa. The weather this year is even more pleasant than that which prevailed during last year's show, and as a con sequence the attendance of visitors is largo. Yesterday afternoon was warm and sunny, and crowds of visitors thronged the aisles of the building. Many people came on the morning and noon trains from Falls City, and special motor excursions from Inde- ANGORA BUCK, "BAILEY" Sired by 'Tasha" and Grandson of "Old Sam." of South Africa. Owned by W.

The attendance today promises to bo a record-breaker, and the hotels and boarding houses of the city will be taxed to their utmost capacity in accommodating the visitors. The number of goats on exhibition when the show opened yesterday morning was 77, and enough more were brought in during tho day to swell the number to over 100. It is fcfiatTuify-ff 'B8BBrttITt'4hfiKaP hibition today. Among tho exhibitors are C. Mitch ell, of Amity; Allyn Yocum, of Sheri dan; U. S. Grant, of Dallas; Win. Riddell.of Monmouth; A.

As usual, there is an excellent ex hibit of sheep and poultry in connec tion with the goat show, and this year an excellent exhibit of swine has been added. Thomas Brunk, of Eola, shows six pens of his famous Poland Chinas, and Fred Koser, of Rickreali, has two pens of Berkshires. Mr. Brunk ia known all over tho United States as a loading breeder of Poland China hogs, and his exhibit has to be soen to bo "POLK COUNTY BOY" Bred by U. S.

Mr. Koser's boar "Black Diamond," No. 03,123, and sow "Maggio May," No. 61,285, are as fine a pair of Berkshires as can bo found In the state of Oregon. Tho boar is only two years old, and weighs 700 pounds. The exhibits of Mr. Brunk aud Mr. Koser add greatly to the interest of tho show. J. II. Hawley & Son, of McCoy, have several pens of Lincolnshire sheep, and one does not wonder at the popu larity of this comparatively new breed, after seeing these fine animals. Blood ed Cots wolds are shown by Wm. R id dell, of Monmouth; D. Gilliam and Mr. Clark, of Dallas. The fifth annual goat show is bigger and better than any that has been held heretofore, and this is saying much for the excellence of the exhibit.

MUST CLOSE AT NIGHT Postmaster Coad Receives Orders to Lock Front Doors of Dallas Postoffice. If you have a kick to make, ptepare to make it now. Postmaster C. G. Coad has received instructions from tho Postoffice Department to close the lobbv of the Dallas office each evening at the close of business hours. Hera cTS5a atVo'Sraim tfioVvenfn'g.H'u'l the front doors have been left opon and persons having lock boxes could got their mail at any hour of the night. The new ruling is severe in the extreme, and, if enforced, will cause great inconvenience to the busi ness men of tho city. The reason given by the postal de partment for its action is that where the lobby of a postoffice is loft open at night, unprincipled persons equipped with skeleton keys are liable to open the boxes and extract the mail there from. While such an act is within tho range of possibilities, no such trouble has ever been experienced in Dallas, and it is not at all probable that it will occur in the future. At the present time, the postofllce corridor is brilliantly lichted by electricity at all hours of the night, and the mail boxes are in plain view of passers-by. Patrons of the office are coming and going at all hours, and under these conditions thieves have no favorable opportunity to work in the building at any time. The Dallas postoffice with the front doors open and tho corridor well light ed is not nearly so likely to be visited by burglars as it will be when the doors are locked and the public be comes accustomed to visiting the building at regular and stated hours. The doors and windows are all un protected, and the veriest amateur burglar would have no difficulty in entering the building at night. Then, with the office deserted and the lights turned low, he could drill the safe or frisk the mail boxes to his heart's content, with little danger of being disturbed. It was only a few nights ago that a burglar in the rear office of this building was surprised by a citizen onteriug the front door. The thief tied precipitately, leaving his safe cracking tools and articles of clothing lying scattered on the floor. Had the front door been locked, he would not have been disturbed in his nefarious work, and Uncle Sam would have been loser to the tune of several hundred dollars. As it was, nothing was taken by the burglar except his hasty leave through the rear window. The patrons of the Dallas postofllce are satisfied with the present condition of affairs and will strenuously oppose any change in the regulations at this time. The matter should be taken up with the Department, through our Senators and Representatives without delay, as Postmaster Coad informs us that the new order will take effect next Sunday.

That's the logic of the ostrich which hides its head and exposes its body to the hunter. There are not a few people who seem to have gone to the ostrich to learn logic. The most dangerous enemies of humanity are the enemies which can't be seen, the disease breeding microbes which infect the blood.

My husband went for the doctor, but he gave me no encouragement. He helped me a little, but it did not last long. He attended me for twelve months, when I heard of a lady whose condition was like mine, who was taking your medicine and was getting well. So I se cured some of the medicine and began taking it. la one week I was able to do my cooking. When I began taking the medicine I could sit up only a few minutes at a time, and I could rest or sleep only a little while at a time. My throat was so sore at times I could not even swallow sweet milk, and my tonsils were full of little eating acres. My left side was swollen out of shape and I could hardly get my breath. The doctor said I would not get well, but three bottles of It.
