Newspaper Page TextPoll County Observer J. C. HAYTER, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER Published Weekly at Ono Dollur per Yeai Strictly in Advunce. DALLAS, OREGON, JANUARY 29, 1901 The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronize Dallas people. Ah the time for holding the covin ty convention approaches, interest in county and state politics begin to grow warm. The Republican: of Polk county are showing a com mendahle disposition to bury al past strife and bitterness am nominate a tirket that will SWeei the field in June. Polk is a Re publican county on a normal count and there is no reason why th( party should not elect every candi rfsit.fi on it ticket. The onlv bow of the Democrats in the county is that the Kepuhiicans may leave a weak spot in the ticket here and there, or that old personal or sectional differences may be allowed to create discord in the ranks of the dominant party, in which case there would be a chance to slip a few Democrats into office. The Republicans must make no mis take in the selection of their ticket. Honorable, capable men must be nominated, and a just and equitable geographical distribution of the offices made in filling the placcH on the ticket, if the party would hop- to win Otherwipe, the Demo crats will ebct about one half the ticket, as they have been doing for many years past. The Republican battle-cry in the coming contest should be "Victory for the Repub lican ticket from State Senator to Constable." CAPTAIN FISKE COMMENDED Army Officer From Oregon Wins Honors In Fight With Moros. Captain Harold B. Flake, of the Twenty-eight Infantry, was com mended by Colonel O. J. Sweet for his conduct during the Snlu expedition under Major-Goneral Leonard Wood. Captain Flake's company had haDd-to-hand encounters with Moros in the battle of Mt. Sull-ma-an and acquitted itself gallantly. First . Lieutenant Vredenburgh, of Fiske's company was in the thickest of the fray and Socond Lieutenant Talbott was knocked down by a Moro. Talbott's assailant was promptly shot and killed on the spot. Captain Fisko is a native of Oregon, having been born at Salem, and ap pointed to the United Military Acad emy in 1892. He bears an excellent reputation as a disciplinarian and is said to be a thoroughly efilcientofflcer in every respect. A friend, in writing to the Ore gonian, says: "Fiske la a credit to the state and to tho artny. He is a man of few words, of strict .moral habits and not at all given to blowing his own horn. Oregouians are good soldiers and I am proud of the record they have made on every flold where their qualities have boon tested." Orcgonian. Captain Fiske is a brother of V. P. Fiske, editor and publisher of the Oregon Woodman. He spent his va cation in Dallas before leaving for the Philippines a few years ago, and made many friends during his stay here by his refined and gentlemanly bearing.

Fclton Cum pan v, 4.0 Montgomery Si., San Kranrieeu, Cal. !lo del Dyspepsia Curo Eldest what you eat K -v- . v There was a cry in the streets. People rushed from their doors and strained their eyes on the struggling balloonist fighting for life. Even the poor, pant ing sufferer in the sick room was for gotten while the fam ily gazed breathless at this strmi'-e t ragedy of the air. Then they went back to the sick room to tell of the terrible strusrele for life thev had just witnessed. It did not occur to them that under their very eyes a more terrible, more pathetic struggle was going on daily. There can be nothing more pitiful than the struggle the consumptive makes against disease. The greatest help in this struggle is gained by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery. It cures obstinate coughs, weak and bleeding lungs, emaciation, and other ailments which if neglected or unskillfully treated hud a tatal termina tion in consumption. In 1898 one of my daughters was suffering on account of a severe cougli, licctic fever, wasting of flesh and other symptoms of diseased lungs,'' writes Rev. Joseph H. l-'esptfrmaii, of Barium Springs, Iredell Co., N. C. "1 promptly gave her Dr. R. V. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery with gratifvin success, and she now eujnvs excellent health. This being true, I hereby heartily endorse your medicines." Accent no substitute for "Golden Med ical Discovery." There is nothing "just as good " for diseases ot the stotnacn, blotd e.nd lungs.
