Daniel Ralston died of pneumonia,
after a brief illness at Mayficld, Ore
gon, Sunday, November 20, aged about
00 years. He is survived by throe
sons and two daughters, two of the
former residing in Eastern Oregon,
and the two daughters and one son
being residents of McMinnville, the
latter being a student at the college.
Mrs. Ralston died in Sheridan about
two years ago. Mr.. Ralston was well
and favorably known in this valley,
having formerly resided at Sheridan
for a number of years, following the
business of a stock buyer. He was a
Mason in good standing and was
known throughout Western Oregon as
a good business man, honorable and
upright in all his dealings and was
highly respected by all who had the
pleasure of his acquaintance.
It is said to the credit of his busi
ness judgment that, to his efforts and
enterprise is largely due the present
importance of the stock shipping
industry of Western Oregon to the
eastern markets. He shipped the
first train load of live stock that ever
left the Willamette valley for Chicago.
While many others had- long believed
this could be accomplished at a good
profit, it remained for Mr. Ralston to
come forward with the necessary nerve
required to make a beginning. He was
very successful from the first and ac
cumulated quite a fortune from his
business. Later he is said to have met
with some reverses which nearly swept
his fortune away, but just prior to his
demise he was again doing well, and is
presumed to have been in fairly good
circumstances.
The remains were interred beside his
wife in the Masonic cemetery at Port
land. The pail bearers were Messrs.
Ferguson and Mulkey of this place,
and Burk, Gill, Sabine, and another
gentleman whose name could not be
learned, of Portland. He was buried
with full Masonic honors. The pall
bearers were all stockmen and life
associates of deceased.-Amity Advance.

Former Dallas Young; Man Falls
Victim to Sudden Attack of
Pneumonia.
James Richardson, the second son
of Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Richardson, of
this city, died of pneumonia in Sal
tillo, Mexico, on Saturday, November
12, aged 38 years, 7 months and 25
days. His illness was of about two
weeks duration. He was a locomotive
engineer on the Coahuila and
Zacatecas railroad, and was well
known in railroad circles in Mexico
and Oregon.
James Richardson was the second
son of Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Richard
son, pioneer residents of Dallas, and
was born March 17, 18G6. He spent
his boyhood days in this city, and
early in life evinced great Interest in
railroad work. He spent much of his
leisure time in the train yards and
machine shop, and announced his
determination to qualify himself for
the position of a locomotive engineer.
Ed Biddle, the present owner of the
Dallas Foundry, was at that time, in
the employ of the Oregonian Railway
Company as an engineer oh the
Dallas-Dundee run, and, noting the
young man's ambition, gave him his
start in railroad work by taking him
on the engine as fireman. He served
faithfully in this capacity for several
years, and then transferred to the
East Side road where he finished his
apprenticeship and was given an
engine. He was placed on the Port-land-Roseburg
run, and soon gained
a reputation as one of the competent
and trusted engineers of the Southern
Pacific Company.
Eight years ago he resigned his
position with the Southern Pacific
Company and went to Mexico, where
he secured employment as a fireman
on the Coahuila & Zacatecas railroad.
After firing for six months, he was
placed in charge of an engine. He
continued in the employ of this com
pany until the date of his death. Dur
ing his vacations, he traveled ex
tensively in Mexico, and gained a
valuable knowledge of the country, its
history, people and resources.
He was a member of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, and
before leaving the United States,joined
the Knights of Pythias. It is not
known whether he kept up his mem
bership in the latter order after
moving to a foreign country. He was
unmarried, and is survived by his
father and mother and four brothers.
His remains were given burial in
Mexico, but will be brought to Dallas
next year.
Jimmy, as he was familiarly called
by his acquaintances, was a whole-
souled, generous young man, and
made friends of all whom he met,
When a boy in Dallas, he was fond of
athletic sports and games, and was
popular among his companions. He
was an expert amateur baseball play
er, and was a member of the famous
"Dallas Alerts" a ball team that
defeated every amateur club from
Portland to the California line in the
early '80s. The news of his sudden
and unexpected death in a foreign
land, far away froin home and kin
dred, was a sad blow to his parents
and brothers, and was received with
deep regret by the people of Dallas
who had known him in his boyhood.
THE "MYSTIC MIDGETS"
Brilliant Juvenile Spectacle Will Be
Seen at City Hall Next Friday
and Saturday Nights.
An event of more than ordinary
interest in the social world will be the
juvenile spectacular cantata, "The
Mystic Midgets," to be given by the
Ladies' Professorship Association of
Dallas College, at the City Hall, next
Friday and Saturday evenings, Do
cember 9 and 10. Seventy-five children
will take part in the cantata, and are
being drilled by Professor R. E. Col
lins, who has produced this fairy
spectacle in all the leading cities of
the Northwest.
"The Mystic Midgets" is a delight
ful entertainment, attractive, original
and inspiring. Tiny fairies, elks,
gnomes and goblins hold high carni
val, and the stage at all times repre
sents a veritable fairyland. The
cantata tells a pretty fairy story, and
there are dozens of light, catchy musi
cal numbers, including dainty little
solos, and choruses for the entire
company. The "Mystic Midgets" is a
novel pleasing entertainment that
awakens the liveliest interest in every
woman s heart, and causes men to
look reflectively back into the dim
vista of years when they, too, were
but thoughtless midgets and mischiev
ious gnomes.
Aside from the beautiful costumes
and brilliant scenery, seen under the
changing colors of the calcium light,
there will be numerous clever special
ties, including a Florodora sextette by
jopular youug ladies of the city.
Principal characters will be taken as
follows : Prince, Miss Edna Morrison ;
Queen, Mis EmroyMeDevitt; Peycbe,
Miss NolaCoad ; Uglio, Carl Williams;
Japanese Girl, Miss Georgia Shriver.
Miss Erma f-'mith will play the ac
companiments. A full cast or char
acters will be published next week.
HAGEK WINS HIS SUIT
Decision of Judge Burnett in Knapp
Case Is Affirmed by Oregon
Supreme Court.
The decision of Judge George H.
Burnett in the Polk county case of B.
HagervsL.E.Knapp and F.W.Knapp,
partners under the firm name of
Knapp & Knapp, was affirmed by the
Supreme Court of Oregon.the decision
of the latter tribunal being handed
down Monday morning.
This action was commenced in Jus
tice Holman's court in Dallas, to re
cover money due as wages. The cause
was tried and judgment was rendered
against the sawmill firm. The defend
ants then appealed to the Circuit Court.
A transcript of all the docket entries
in the Justice's court was filed, but the
Justice failed to annex thereto any of
the original papers filed with him.
Based on the neglect in this particular,
Hager's counsel moved to dismiss
the appeal. Knapp & Knapp's
attorneys filed a cross-motion for a
rule on the Justice requiring him to
annex the omitted papers to the trans
cript, but the latter motion was denied
by Judge Burnett, and the appeal was
dismissed and judgment rendered
against the defendants for costs. Tho
mill firm then carried tho case to tho
Supremo Court.
Chief Justice Moore holds that in
an appeal from a Justice's Court it is
the appellant's duty to see that the
original papers are sent up with the
transcript and that in case of failure
in this respect the issuance of an order
for the completion of the record is
within the discretion of the Circuit
Court, and will not be reviewed by the
Supreme Court except in case of abuse
of the discretion, which was not shown
in this case.
The opinion is a lengthy one, cover
ing nine typewritten pages. Tho ex
act point of law involved in this case
had never been raised in the Supremo
Court of this state, and the opinion
treats it very exhaustively and thor
oughly. J. N. Hart, W. H. Holmes
and Webster Holmes, appeared as at
torneys for Knapp & Knapp, and
Oscar Hayter as attorney for Hagor.
MVER VS LIVESLEY.
J. W. Myer, respondent, vs T. A.
Livesley & Co., appellants, from. Polk
county, R. P. Boise, Judge, reversed
and dismissed; opinion by Judge
Bean.
Defendants leased a hop yard to W.
D. Huston, on shares, Huston to per
form the work, etc, Huston assigned
the lease to Myer, who sought to tako
possession, and this being refused,
he brought this suit to enjoin in
terference with the exorcise of his al
leged rights. Ho prevailed in the
court below, but loses on appeal, upon
the ground that "a lease of land upon
shares, including tho use of buildings,
farm implements, stock and other per
sonal property, is regarded as a per
sonal contract and not assignable
without the consent of the lessor, be
cause the amouut to be received by the
lessor and the care of the property do
pond upon the character, industry and
skill of the lessee." W. M. Kaiser, W.
T. Slater and Wirt Winor were attor
neys for appellants, and John H. Mc
Nary and Oscar Hayter appeared for
the respondent.
JUDGE WHITNEY'S GOOD LUCK
Died of Pneumonia.
Vesta, the six-year-old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Marion Syron, died of
pneumonia at the family homo in
Dallas, Monday, after an illness of
one week. The little girl was seriously
ill with stomach trouble for several
weeks early in the Fall, and at times
her condition was so critical that the
doctors despaired of saving her life.
She rallied from this attack, however,
and was thought to bo slowly regain
ing her health when stricken with the
dread pneumonia. Vesta was a sweet
little girl, and had many friends. Her
parents are heart-broken over their
sad loss. The funeral was held from
the Baptist church, Wednesday after
noon, the service being conducted by
Rev. A. A. Winter.

short time ago I commenced taking
treatment from you for the roaring in
my head and deafness. The roaring
in my head has entirely ceased and
my hearing has rotumed so that I can
hear as well as I ever could. You are
