glad that we are able to co-operate effectively in the
fight against the housefly. Flies and Electric Fans do
not agree. Flies cannot alight in a breeze and it is a
simple thing to keep your kitchen, your living room and
the sleeping room of your child free from the contamin

besides freshening and cooling the air. The new 8-inch
household fan is both practical and inexpensive. Phone

RECEPTION TO NEW PASTOR
Methodists of Dallas Welcome Return
of the Reverend George F. Hopkins.
The action of the Methodist Conr
ference in returning the ' Reverend
George Hopkins to the Dallas charge
meets the warm approval of the
members of the church In this city.
For the purpose of expressing their
hearty sanction, a reception to the
new pastor was held Thursday evening
at which almost the entire member
ship waa present.
The Reverend Hopkins came to Dal
las a few weeks ago from Redfteld,
South Dakota, having served for sever
al years as a district superintendent
in that state. In his relation to the
church ln South Dakota, he bore the
reputation of being an able man, ca
pable of filling any charge in his con
ference, and this reputation has fol
lowed him to Oregon.
During the short time he has been
in Dallas, he has won many friends.
When he went to conference, it was
the unanimous wish of his people that
he be returned, and this was also his
own wish, although other places alter
ed some strong Inducements ln the way
of .alary. Mr. Hopkins likes Dallas
and Dallas people, and this, with the
difficulty of moving again so soon, In
fluenced him to express a wish that
he be returned, although ready to
move If It should be so decided by the
conference.
The reception was a highly enjoy
able, affair, and there was a warm feel
ing of fraternity among those pres
ent. The program consisted of music,
luncheon and speeches. Hon. George
L. Hawkins gave a pleasing address of
welcome, and a feeling response was
voiced by the pastor.
Short speeches were given by the
pastors of other churches of the city,
among whom were the Reverend Ed
gar W. Miles, the new pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church; the Rev
erend H. Im Pratt, who was recently
appointed pastor of the United Evan
gelical Church, and the Reverend
Pease, the new Baptist pastor.
It would have been an Inspiration
to anyone to have seen these minis
ters, representing different creeds, all
enjoying a fellowship together and all
united In a common cause.

evening. Congressman Hawley will also
deliver an address. Thomas B. Kay,
A.' M. Crawford and other state can

ever listened. His plea for the support
of the entire ticket Is simply Irresist
ible. The writer has had the pleasure
of hearing many noted political speak

recall a more logical and convincing
presentation of sound Republican doc

Malarkey ln Salem last Saturday
night.
The Republicans of Falls City are
entitled to great credit for their in
terest In the success of the ticket and
It is the duty of the Republicans of

CONVICTS INDICTED AGAIN
Prisoners Captured Near Buena Vista
Must Stand Trial.
Indictments have been returned by
the grand Jury against Albert Ferris
and Albert Murray, says the Salem '
Statesman, These men are both con
victs now serving time in the peniten
tiary, and the Indictment charges
them with assault and robbery. This
follows a sensational break at the pen
itentiary October 14, 1909, when five
men held up Guards Felix Davis and
L. Hirtzel, relieved both of the guards
of their guns and took 2t from Hirtzel.
A man hunt followed ln the vicinity
of Buena Vista and two of the con
victs were killed and two others
wounded, Ferris being one of the
wounded men, receiving a bullet
through his left arm, which penetrated
his lung, and also two shots ln the
back.
Murray was not hurt, but was put
ln a dungeon for a time. Ferris will
leave the prison some time during the
present month, while Murray is senr
Ing an Indeterminate sentence. Ferris
was committed from Clackanfas coun
ty, serving one and one-half years for
larceny from a building, and Murray
was convicted in Umatilla county for
burning a building.
In the hunt Walter Johnon, an of
ficer, now a guard at the penitentiary.
was shot ln the leg, and "Cherokee"
James, now a night police officer, re
ceived a slight wound. One of the con
victs was killed by Sheriff Grant of
Polk County and another by Johnson.
