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.

BRIQHT'S DISEASE.
The largest sum ever paid for a pre
scription, changed hands in San Fran
eiBCoj August 30, 1901. The transfer in
volved in coin tind stock $112,600.00 and
was paid by a party of business men for
a specific fur Bright's Disease and Din
lietes, 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 th treatment
and watching them. They also got phy
sicians to name chronic, incurable eases,
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 ol
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 In mailed free on ap
plii'Mtion. Aildree Jons J. Fclton

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.
Dr. Pierce's Phasant Pellets assist tin
ac'ion oi the "Discovery."

Weak
Hearts
Are due to indigestion. Ninety-nine 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 ol
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 oi
the heart, and in the course of time that
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.
Mr. D. Kauble, of Nevada, O., says : I had stomach
troubla and was In a bad stats as I had heart trouble
with It. I took Kodol Dyspepsia Cure for about (out
months and It cured me.
