DALLAS, OREGON, SlAIicrf 11, 1904
The way to build up Dallas is to pat
ronize Dallas people.
The opposition among a few
Republicans in Dallas lo the can
didacy of E. C. Kirkpatrick for the
Senatorial nomination is disappear
ing like dew before the morning
sun, and he will go into the con
vention backed by a solid delega
tion from the three Dallas pre
cincts. No one at all familiar with
the local situation will doubt or
question this assertion for a
moment. The fact is, Mr. Kirk
patrick's chances of carrying Dallas
have never been in danger from ll.e
day he announced his candidacy.
The convention is three weeks
away, and his support is increasing
every day. Men, who, ten days
ago, were doubtful as to his
strength, and men, who, in some
instances, were opposed to his
nomination, now agree that he will
win out in each precinct by a neat
majority. The tight that has been
waged against Mr. Kirkpatrick in
Dallas has been led by men, who
by every principle of justice and
right, ought to be his most loyal
friends. Be it said to their credit,
these men are now coming to regret
their opposition to one who had a
right to claim their friendship and
support, and are abandoning the
fight against him. Mr. Kirkpatrick
will be given the nomination by
the county convention upon the
showing made by him, for the
reason that an overwhelming
majority of the Republicans of
Polk county have expressed them
selves in favor of nominating a
Dallas man for State Senator this
year, and when they so expressed
themselves they meant what they
said. The Republicans of Dallas
have relied upon this promise; they
are relying upon it today, and' are
earnestly working to secure the
nomination of Mr. Kirkpatrick to
head the winning ticket in the
June election.

PASSED TO HER REST
Mrs. Nancy Holmes Dies at. Her
Home In Salem, Wednesday
Morning.
One of the earliest pioneers of Ore
gon, Mrs. Nancy Holmes, passed
away at the home of her son, Hon.
W. H. Holmes, in Salem, Wednesday
morning, after a long illness, lasting
in the acute stage, about six weeks,
from a gradual wearing away of the
tissues, diie to old age after a useful
life of 82 years.
Thu3 Is given another reminder of
the raoid passing of the honored pio
neers of Oregon, those who faced tho
dangers aud endured tho nardsnips
and early privations of life ou the
frontier. Deceased was born in Lin
coln county, Missouri, on February
id 1S22. and comes of the sturdy stock
of the Porter family, who were promi
nent Virginians, and who took an
active part in the war of 1812. Whon
but a mere child, her parents moved
to Pike county, Illinois, where she
was reared, and married in 1838 to
H. N. V. Holmes. In 1848 they moved
to Oregon, crossing tho plains in the
old-fashioned way, with an ox team,
settling in Folk county, and the
following spring took up a donation
land claim, where the family was
reared, and which is still in the pos
session of the members of tho family.
This homestead is located near wuat
is now McCov. The deceased lived
there until the death of her husband,
March 28, 1880, and since that time
has made her homo with her son,
W. H. Holmes.
She was a member of tho Sweden-
bortrian Society, a sect of Christians
with whom she united at Ballston,
while living at her Folk county home,
and while she never attempted to draw
others to her faith, she steadily re
mained by her early church love.
The issue of tho marriago wfis seven
children, three of whom have passed to
the other side. Three of these child
ren wcru born in Illinois. Those still
living are D. J. Holmes, Portland ; A.
M. Holmes who now lives on the home
place; John P. Holmes, living near
Derry, Polk county, and W. H.
Holmes, of Salem.
Two brothers of the deceased crossed
the plains with her, W. M. Porter, of
Aumsville, who died at tho ago of 80
years, and Stephen Porter, who died
near Mount Angel, fifteen years ago,
Her father started across the plains in
1852, at the age of 80 and died sudden
ly at Bear Paver, in Idaho. The only
survivor of tho party . who crossed
with him is Hon. Ben Hayden, of
Polk county.
Tho funeral services were held at the
lesidonco Thrusday afternoon aud tho
remains were consigned to their last
resting place in tho City View ceme
tery, besido those of tho other loved
ones, whoso bodies were recently mov
ed from tho Polk county burying
ground. Salem Statesman.
AUHARA'SmQ MINSTELS
Will Appear at City Hall on Thurs
day, March 17.
Mahara's minstrels will give one
performance in Dallas, Thursday,
March 17. This is one of tho largest
companies on tho road and seldom
shows outside of the large cities. The
company has an open date before its
appearance at tho Marquam Grand
theater in Portland, and tho manager
has decided to bring his people to
Dallas for this night.
In most colored minstrels tho funny
part of the performance is much over
done, but in this ono it is carried on
in such a manner that never fails to
please an audience. The introduction
of lady actors into minstrels takes
out that ancient effect, for every
theater goer is tired of tho old-tinio
minstrel show.
Tho performance is divided into the
customary two parts; tho lirst consist
ing of a regular minstrel work under
tho direction of that prince of con
versationalists, J. A. English, and the
second of selected specialty acts only
equal to those gotten off over tho
Orpheum stage. Sadie Citizen, Bessie
LaBelle, Odessia Crosby and Emma
Foster sing lato popular songs, such
as "Honey, Will You Miss Me When
I'm Gone," "Castlo on the Nile," "No
Uso For Sleep," "Milanda's Ball,"
"Game of Eyes," "If That's tho Land
lord, I Ain't Home," and "Just Plain
Folks."
Tho show concludes with the one-act
opera, "Dusky Maidens," which shows
up tho w hole company to advantage
in tho "Florodora" marches, drills
and cako walking.
Watch for tho mammoth street
parade.

They commenced the serious investi

They interviewed scores of the cured

over three dozen eases on thf treatment
and watching them. They also got phy
