Smith & Shelton, proprietors. 9-8-2t The uninsulated surface of a live wire coming in contact with one of the pillars In the front of the brick build ing occupied by the (-tores of P. A. Finseth and Simonton & Scott yester day afternoon electrified the whole of the iron work in the building and was the cause of considerable excitement and curiosity for a few minutes until the cause of the phenomenon was dis covered and removed. It was first noticed by one of the customers enteringSimonton &Scott's store. The sidewalk was still wet from the recent rain and as he planted his moist shoe sole on the iron lintel, he received a sudden and unexpected shock of electricity that fairly lifted him off his feet. Although considerably taken aback he tried it again with a similar result, and then hastened to ask the Inmates of the store what had happened to their building. In a few minutes a curious crowd had collected about the stores, testing the force of the mysterious cur rent that seemed to prevade every atom of metal in the entire structure, and waiting eagerly to see each new comer make the attempt and get "bit" even as they bad been. The impromptu joke was ended by the arrival of an electrician who hastened to arrange an Insulation for the wire at the point of its contact with the iron work of the building, whereupon the posts and door steps suddenly lost that mysterious "llve ness" that had for a short time per vaded them, and with the vanishing ot this quality the crowd rapidly dwindled away. Bert Wonderly, of Falls City, wa8 a business visitor in Dallas, Friday. Shriners Were Royally Entertained. The Mystic Shriners sent a goodly representation from, Dallas on the pilgrimage to Eugene, Saturday j and the members of the delegation return log Sunday were loud In their praise of the reception that had been accorded them. Everything from the decora tions up was as nearly perfect as possible, they say, and every Mason in Eugene, Shriner or no Shriner, kept open house and extended the heartiest hospitality toward the visi tors from other cities. Those going from Dallas were: E. C. Kirkpatrlck, R. E. Williams, W. V. Fuller, D. J. Riley, Oscar Hayter, Conrad Stafrln, Dr. Mark Hayter, J. L. Sweeney and O. N. Cherrlngtoo. T. W. Wyatt, of Black Rock, was a business visitor in Dallas yesterday. A number of the representative physicians ot Polk and Yamhill counties met in the K. P. ball In this city last night and entered a temporary organization, electing officers and appointing a committee to draw up constitution and by-laws for the. association, which will be permanently organized at a meeting set for the first Monday in December, to be held In McMinnville. The new organiza tion will be called "The Yamhill and Polk County Medical Association." A pleasant and profitable hour was spent after the close of the business meeting in a general discussion and a helpful exchange of ideas. The mem bers are looking forward to the accom plishment of much good in their future organized aUle and anticipate large additions to their membership from the ranks of the medical men of other counties adjoining these two. The officers elected were : Dr. Oil- strap, of Sheridan, president; Dr. Bollman, of Dallas, secretary and treasurer pro tern. Drs. Starbuck, Bollman and McCallon were appointed on the committee to draw up a consti tution and by laws for a permanent organization. Nashville Students Tonight. The Nashville Students has always been a company, selected by the man agement for their singing quality. It has long been conceded that no one can get the harmony and music out of those songs like the real darkey. There is also added to the entertain ment, plenty of good, clean comedy, and some of the latest and most popu lar ballads of the present time. There is nothing so entertaining as a good singing Bhow, and the management of the Nashville Students certainly bad that in mind, when he selected the present company. From the time the curtain goes up, there is always something doing, either in singing their old southern ballads, for which the negro Is noted, or some of the latest songs of the day with the entire company Bingtog the chorus. If you can afford only one show this season, don't miss this one the best ot all colored shows. At' Woodman Hall tonight. Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Massy, of McCoy, were visitors In Dallas, Fri day, on business. George Ball, a prominent bopgrower of Ballston, was a business visitor In Dallas, Friday. Business Men Confer With Father McDevitt Concerning Proposals to x Found Catholic Institution. ' Several of the business men and physicians of Dallas held a conference with the Rev. Father H. J. McDevitt in tho office of Dr. A. B. Starbuck yes terday afternoon and discussed the subject of founding a hospital in this city. A number of fine locations and beautiful buildings have been offered for the purpose, but they made no final selection at yesterday's meeting, preferring to inquire more fully into the matter before arriving at a defi nite decision. The residences that have been offered for the purpose of being converted into a hospital are the James Howe, Marr, 8 to u Her, Bar ham, Biddle, F. J. Coad and Conkey property, all fine buildings, in pleas ant surroundings and advantageous locations. Before taking action however, they requested Father McDevitt to com municate with his superiors and obtain definite Instructions, so that he might let them know just what would be expected of them in launching and oaring for the new enterprise. Father McDevitt will confer with his superiors in Portland at once, and will let the citizens of Dallas know within a short time what they may expect and what assistance will be expected of them. There Is a strong sentiment In favor of the new project among the people of Dallas, and many regard the new hospital already as practically an assured thing. The size of this city and its peculiarly central position to a vast number of industries in which accidents are liable to occur, whose victims demand prompt and skillful attention, makes it an exceptionally good plaoe for the location ot a hospital, and the benefits that would be derived from such an institution by people residing in and about this city will be almost Immeasurable. Ladies, Attention! On Saturday, September 12, Mre. Bertha Toner will hold a grand open ing ot Fall millinery goods at her store on Main street near tbe postoffice. Ladies ot Dallas and vicinity are cordially invited to be present and Inspect the fine line of beautiful and up-to-date bats. One of the finest lines in the city. 9-8-2t Miss Myrtle Cotrill, who has been visiting at tbe home of Mr. and Mra. H. P. Shrlver, left for her home In Centralia, Sunday. Hop picking was commenced under rather unfavorable weather conditions in nearly all of the hop yards in this vicinity yesterday morning. All day Saturday the busy preparations for the commencing of tbe harvest were evident in the large crowd of shoppers on the streets of Dallas, and In a single day, the huge pyramids ot woven lath bop baskets piled In front of many ot the stores dwindled almost to nothing under the persistant raids of those who were preparing for the two weeks' outing in the hopyards. On Sunday, clouds began to hang low giving ominous threats for the morrow and scarcely? bad the hop pickers commenced work yesterday when these threats were made good by a heavy downpour of rain, which con tinued intermittently throughout the day effectually putting a stop to the picking and driving the bedraggled orews back Into town before noon. Hop growers do not anticipate a con tinuance of the rainy weather, and what little rain has already fallen will do littleor no damage to the hops. The season thus far has been almost Ideal and the bops of the 190S crop will as a result, be of a very superior quality. The reduced yield bids fair to result in an advance In prices, and bop growers and dealers are viewing the situation with much greater confidence than they did last year. The number of pickers employed In the yards about Dallas is almost as large as ever In spite of the fact that several large yards have been dropped from cultivation. The season will last about two weeks, and the pickers expect to make larger earnings than usual this year owing to the light foil age, which makes It possible to pick more rapidly and still keep the hops up to the standard of cleaness. Injured by Falling Woodpile. J. W. Miller was quite painfully Injured while working with one of the wood saws Friday, by the falling of a woodpile. Mr. Miller was stooping to pick up a stick from the bottom of the pile, when the whole mass of wood gave way and tumbled down upon his head and shoulders bruising and lac erating them and knocking him sense less. Medical assistance was necurod at once and at present Mr. Miller Is Improving nicely. Elmer E. Strayer came up from Port land, Saturday night, for a visit with his Dallas friends.
