Save money by buying your Trunks here, g Dallas College is preparing to give a course of entertainments during the wiDter that promises to excel anything of the kind ever attempted in Dallas. Some of the attractions, engaged through an Eastern Lyceum Bureau, will be the best that have ever appeared in the country. The first entertainment will be by the Parland-Newhall Company male quartette and expert bell ringers. More than one hundred hand bells, ranging in weight from three ounces to 15 pounds, are used in a very attrac tive musical program. The second is an evening of be wilderment and wonder with Marothe Magician. Maro has a National repu tation as a master of the magic art. "The most popular attraction in an exceptionally fine course" is the record everywhere. Third on the list is a lecture by a Philadelphia lawyer, Lee Francis Lybarger, who well sustains the repu tation of his city. One testimonial is : "The noted humorist and lecturer gaye his lecture on 'How to be Happy' in a style that can neither be imitated nor improved. He kept his audience in an uproar by hi3 sallies of wit." The fourth entertainment is an illustrated lecture on the "Great Paintings of the World." The lecturer takes his audience through the great art galleries of the world, while a fine dissolving stereopticon reproduces the famous masterpieces, many of them in'their original colors. The fifth entertainment la to be a lecture by one of Portland's popular ministers, Dr. Clarence True Wilson. A canvass has been made of the business district of the city to secure pledges for season tickets to meet the guarantee required, but a sufficient number of tickets have not yet been sold, and the canvass will be con tinued. The season ticket sells for $1.75, (students, $1.00), and gives a reserved seat for each entertainment. Single admissions will be 50 cents, but will not be sold until holders of season tickets have had ample opportunity to choose their seats. The people of Dallas should encour age this effort of the college to secure some of the best talent available. Every person purchasing a ticket is assured of getting full value for his money. Put your name on the list for a season ticket and help the school. II a can vasser doesn't find you, leave your came at SUtfrio's drug store. Are you lacking in strength and vigor? Are you weak? Are you in pain? Do you feel all run down? The ble6ingof health and strength come to all who use Hollister's Tcky Mountain Tea. 35 cents. Belt & Cherrington. Dallas Man Makes No Complaint at Surprising Decision of Judges of Oratory. Chester P. Gates, who represented Dallas College in the inter-state oratorical contest, and who failed to receive a place among the winners, came up from Portland and attended the opening of the college bofore re turning to his home at Brooks. Though unsuccessful in a contest in which he was deeply interested in winning, Chester is a good loser and has no words of complaint to offer. He can afford to feel good-natured when he remembers that a vast audience composed of Portland's in telligent people voted him an easy winner, after listening to his splendid oration, and severely criticised the judges for shutting him out of a place among the successful speakers. The Evening Telegram devotes liberal space in its news columns to the result of the contest and also con tains a strong editorial commenting upon the decision of the judges and speaking of Mr. Gates' oratory in highly complimentary terms. The Telegram says: "Much criticism was heard and considerable surprise expressed when the announcement of the judges showed that Chester P. Gates, of Dallas College, was not even awarded a place among the winners. Gates, according to the general opin ion expressed, was by far the most gifted orator among the six contest ants. His speech was magnetio and the applause accorded him was equal to that of all the rest put together." Editorially, the Telegram says : "It i3 said that the young man whose voice and personality carried a heavy voltage of magnetism, whose fervid and eloquent periods elicited more applause than was accorded to all his competitors, was not even given hon orable mention. The outcome of the affair is a surprise and disappoint ment to many who attonded. The judges explain by saying that while the young man was admittedly a more magnetic speaker than any who opposed him, he was deficient in rhetoric. "There is no manner of doubt but the judges were honest in their decision. Nevertheless there is no reason why this same young man should not have an abiding faith In the very qualifications which failed to win him distinction in this particular instance. The power to command applause in dicates earnestness. Earnestness is evidence of conceived truth ; if it be honestly employed, it is most potent in compelling conviction. Asbetween eloquence that goes straight to a glyen point, regardless of the beaten path, and the carefully selected, finely chiseled sentence and well-rounded period the one is oratory, the other is method. "Let whatever young man who has the true gift of speaking with ail inspired tonguo waver not in courage because he technically fails to assume the scholarly habit in all its complete ness. Force, clearness and beauty of expression he should always strive for, but if truth is in him, and behind it is the living enthusiasum which makes it a message to men, there is no fear for the result. The time will como when he may speak and men will listen when the substance of what he says, the soul that Is in the portrayal of his ideas, rather than conformity to the rules of rhetoric, will count for honor." POLK TAKES MANY PRIZES County Makes Excellent Showing of Sheep and Goats at Portland Livestock Show. Sheridan is preparing to build a $7000 schoolhouse. The plans of F. H.

It is with deep regret that the people of Dallas bid farewell to Eev. James Moore, the retiring pastor of the M. E. Church, and his estimable wife. Dur ing the two years that Mr. Moore has been in Dallas, he has made many friends by his fine social qualities, and his able sermons have been heard by largo congregations each Sunday. Rev. Moore Is now packing his house hold goods preparatory to moving to his new charge at Mt Tabor. Rev. A. C. Brackenbury, his successor, will preach in the Dallas church next Sunday at the usual hours. Rev. Brackenbury is a recent arrival from the East, and will move his family into the parsonage in the near future. crcracracraaisa :
