Woods, one of Dallas' oldest and most successful practicing physicians, died at his home, Monday, February 12, 1906, aged 71 years. His death was caused by a carbuncle at the base of the brain. He had been in failing health for several years, but had been able to attend to his professional duties, and it was only a few days before his death that his condition caused him to give up his office work. His last illness was of a very serious nature from the begin niDg, and in spite cf his remarkable vitality and the best efforts of his physicians, he sank rapidly and re mained in a semi-conscious state until the end came at 11 o'clock Monday morning. All of the members of bis family, except his son Frank, were at his bedside when he died. Dr. Woods was born in Greenville, Pennsylvania, on the 10th of October, 1835. He received an excellent edu cation at Kingsville Institute, in Kingsville, Ohio, and upon finishing his course, engaged in school teach ing, at whioh profession he was very successful. He afterwards took up the study of medicine, and was gradu ated from Buffalo Medical College in Buffalo, N. Y. He lived in Turners ville, Pa., two years, and then moved to Wheatland, Pa., where he practiced for 17 years. He was Mayor (Burgess) of Wheatland several terms, and for ten years was a surgeon ot the Penn sylvania Railroad Company. He was married to Miss Sarah J. Nelson on October 11, 1856. Dr. Woods came to Dallas 23 years ago and purchased a drug store, which he conducted in connection with his practice for several years. He theu sold the store and devoted his whole time to his professional work. He was a successful practitioner, and at one time his praotice extended over the entire western portion of Polk county. As age came on, he devoted his attention largely to his office and city practice, leaving the more active work to younger men in the profes sion. He served several terms as Coroner of Polk county, and, at the time of his death, was a member of the County Board of Pension Ex aminers. He is survived by his aged wife and five children Frank C. Woods, of Vancouver, B. C. ; M. V. Woods, of Tacoma, Wash.; I. N. Woods, of Dallas ; John Woods, of Ludlow, Gal., and Mrs. John D. Holman, of Dallas. Dr. Woods was a fine type of the self-sacrificing country physician who places his sympathy for suffering humanity far above his own personal comfort, and to whom money is a second consideration when pain and suffering are to be alleviated. To the poor and needy, he gave his services freely and cheerfully, often braving hardships and exposure in making long night rides into the country to visit patients from whom he never expected a cent of pay. As is so often the case with men of his profession, he lost thousands of dollars during his lifetime through his refusal to en force the collection of just debts due him for fear of working a hardship upon some needy family. Not good business, surely, when measured by cold-blooded business standards, but counting for much when measuring man's love for his fellow men. The silent tears coursing down the cheeks of men and women from the humbler walks of life, as the last tribute of respect was being paid to the dead friend and physician, Tuesday after noon, betokened many an unforgotten kindness, and eloquently bore witness to the truth that there is a legacy that is better than great riches. Dr. Woods had a high conception of the duties of a physician, and was a close observer of the ethics of his profession. He was ever courteous in his treatment of his brother physi cians, and was held by them in the highest friendship and esteem. He was especially kind to young practi tioners, and there are many doctors in Oregon today who are glad to tell that they owe to him the beginning of their success. He possessed a sunny nature, was fond of a joke, and en joyed thecompanionshipof his friends and neighbors. His familiar figure will be sadly missed on our streets, and the people of Dallas will be lone some without him. The funeral services were conducted from the First Presbyterian church, Tuesday afternoon, and were largely attended, all the principal business bouses having been closed for the hour. The services were conducted by Pev. E. J. Thompson, D. D., of Independence, an old-time friend of the deceased, assisted by the pastor, Rev. D. Julian Becker. Appropriate musio was rendered by a selected choir. The remains were laid to rest in the Odd Fellows' cemetery.

The Independence visitors came ny special train, and were met at the depot by a reception committee and escorted in a body to the Woodman Hall, where the contest was held. '1 he visitors from Falls City and McMinn ville came on the regular evening trains. Two candidates. J. C. Uglow, of Dallas, and Sam Damon, of Inde Dendence. were initiated into the mysteries of the Knight rank. Each lodflre initiated its own candidate, and the contest was decided upon the com parative excellence of the work of the respective teams. The judges were C. D. Gabrielson, of Salem, and Frank Adams and Dave Doty, of Mc Minnville. The teams were very evenly matched, and the judges found it no easy task to arrive at a decision. When the result of the contest was announced, the members of the victorious team were warmly con gratulated by the members of Homer Lodge and other visiting brethren. After the contest, refreshments were served in the lodge dining room. A social session was then held in the lodge room, and for an hour the Knights were entertained by recita tions, sones and stories. David Cal breath made a neat speech In present ing the ivory gavel to Marmlon Lodge, and the response by Chancellor Commander H. L. Toney was highly appropriate. Short talks were also given by C. D. Gabrielson, J. T. Ford and others. A delegation from the McMinnville comnanv of Uniform Rank, headed by Colonel Frank Mead of the Briga dier-General s staff, were present in full uniform. Colonel Mead gave an interesting talk on "The Uniform Bank," and urged the formation of a Polk county company.
