DALLAS, OKEOON", NOVEMBER JG, 1901.
The way to build up Dallas ts to pat
ronize Dallas people.
Noting that the city council in pre
paring to place a license tax of $100
a year on insurance companies doing
business In Dallas if the insurance
rates are not reduced, the Board of
Underwriters of the Pacific write that
a reduction of rates may be expected
any day, and the council is asked to
take no steps to hinder this reduction
being made at once. Well and good.
All that the people of Dallas ask is
that the Insurance companies grant
the reduction that was promised when
the present splendid water system
was completed. The council has no
desire to be stubborn in the matter,
and would rather see the citizens of
Dallas get reduced insurance rates
than to pile up license money in the
city treasury. Reliei from the present
burdensome rates is all that is asked.
It is an old saying that one must go
away from home to get the news.
Last week's issue of the Independence
Enterprise says :
"All of the Dallas city officials
threaten to resign before election time
rolls round next Spring. What's the
matter?"
Nothing la the matter; or, at least,
no such move on the part of the city
officers has been heard of here in
Dallas. While it is known that some
of the present city officers will not ask
for re-election next Spring, there is no
reason to believe that any one of them
will resign his position before his
term of oflice expires. These officers
feel that they htfve accomplished all
that they started in to do namely, to
provide the city with mountain water,
sewerage, and up-to-date fire appar
atus, and at the coming election they
will step aside and let others tako up
the work which the management of
the city affairs entails, and of which
every good citizen should be willing to
Irform his share. The greater num
ber of these officers have private
business Interests that demand their
entire attention, and as some of them
have served the city without compen
Bation for six or eight years, they feel
that they have done all that can
reasonably be asked of them. Probably
few citizens have any realization o1
the amount of time that has been
given to tho city by these men in the
last four years in drafting an entire
new code of ordinances, getting the
finances into good business shape, and
carrying out the many improvements
that have been made during that
period of time. While the writer of
this paragraph has no means of
knowing whether any of the present
councilmen will bo candidates for re
election, he does know that tho mem
bors of tho board are working
harmoniously together, and that there
is no reason to believe that any officer
will forsake his duties before his term
of office expires.

RARE MUSICAL TREAT
Chicago Ladles' Quartet Pleasea
Large Audience in Dallas.
People who failed to attend the con
cert given by the Philharmonic
Ladies' Quartet at the Presbyterian
church, Tuesday evening, missed the
best musical entertainment that has
ever been given in Dallas. A fair
sized audience was present and en
joyed a treat such as is heard only
once in a lifetime outside the large
cities. The young women composing
the quartet are all good singers, have
an attractive personality, and give a
program that ha3 not an inferior
number in it. They graciously re
sponded to every encore, and thus
made themselves doubly popular with
their delighted audience. Every mem
ber of the company is an accomplished
soloist, something that can be said of
few traveling quartets, and the solo
numbers have all been selected with
rare good taste. The principal enter
tainer is Jliss Adele Davis, a charm
ing young woman whose character
impersonations won for her the instant
favor of her hearers. Miss Davis is a
clever mimic, and her readings cover
a wide range from grave to gay. Her
best number was "Aux Italiens" by
Lytton. Miss Fanny Ferguson has
a clear soprano voice, over which she
has perfect control at all times, and
her sister Elizabeth is endowed with
the rarest of all voices, a pure con
tralto. Miss Harriett Eddy has a
mezzo-soprano voice of remarkable
smoothness. Many female quartets
bearing the name of the big town on
the shore of Lake Michigan have
been heard In the West in the last ten
or twelve years, but the Chicago Phil
harmonics are the best of all. If these
young women will make another tour
of the Coast towns next year, the
houses will not be large enough to
hold the people who will want to hear
them sing.

equal to Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, for purifving the blood. It carries
off the poisons w hich contaminate the life
fluid. It increases the activity of the

an increased suuplv of pure, body-building
blood. It build's up the body with sound,
healthy flesh instead of flabby fat, pro
motes the appetite, feeds the nerves, and
so gives to weak, nervous people vitality

DEATH ENDS SUFFERING
Charles Carter Passes Away After
Long and Painful Illness.
Charles Uel Carter, a son of Mr,
and Mrs. G. A. Carter, died at the
family home in this city, Saturday,
JSovemberlD, at 2 o'clock p. m., alter
an illness of five weeks. When the
family left Texas, bound for Oregon,
early in October, the young man was
suffering from malaria. He steadily
grew worse, and after they arrived in
Dallas it was found that he had
organic disease of the liver. The
skill of talented surgeons was em
ployed on his case, but their efforts
were of no avail, and the sufferer
passed away Saturday afternoon.
ihe funeral was held from the
Baptist church on Sunday afternoon
at 2 o'clock, the services being con
ducted by the pastor, Rev. J. M.
ureen. The church was crowded to
the doors, and the ceremonies were
simple but impressive throughout.
Music was furnished by a special
choir, and the floral offerings were
many and beautiful. The pallbearers
were Fred West, Robert Marsh, Will
Weaver, Charles Freitag, Wesley
aughn and W. L. Soehren. Inter
ment took place in the Odd Fellows'
cemetery.
unarles Carter was born in Brown
county, Texas, on February 25, 1885.
He was a young man of correct habits,
and was respected by all who knew
him. During his long sickness, he
was gentle and patient, and no word
of complaint was heard to pass his
lips. His death, in the bright morn
ing of his manhood, is a sad blow
to the family.

A Happy Man.
The following is an extract from a
card from Mr. Austin, of Portland,
Or., telling how his wife was cured of
total blindness:
'I wish to make known what Dr.
Darrin has done for my family.
Eight years ago my wife was totally
blind from what doctors called
'nervous abhorrence of light.' In that
condition she visited him, and was
cured, so she could see as well as ever
in her life. I know of hundreds who
have been as miraculously cured. I
am employed on the O. R. & N. rail
road, and can be referred to at any
time. I most earnestly recommend
tne afflicted from whatever cause to
consult Dr. Darrin.
W. 'Stub' Austin."
Dr. Darrin can be consulted free at
the Hotel Gail, Dallas, Oregon, until
December 23, from 10 o'clock to 5 daily,
evenings, 7 to 8, Sunday, 10 to 3.
The doctor makes a specialty of all
diseases of the eye, ear, nose and
throat, catarrh, deafness, bronchitis,
lagrippe, heart, liver, bladder and
kidney diseases, or those who suffer
from apathy and indifference; also
genito-urinary and skin diseases in
either sex, such as blood taints, semi

and stricture.
