Watch For It. : Friday's edition of The Ob- server will be issued under the auspices of the Dallas Womans club, and they have been prom- ised the entire proceeds of that one issue of this naper. This offer has been made by The Ob- server Printing company solely to assist in the work the club Is doing in this city, and because the publishers of this newspaper believe in' progress, and want to encourage everything that tends to promote better conditions and better living. The organization of the Dallas Woman's club was a progressive move, and places this city in the van of modem communities. Though young in J years the club has already made itself felt in many, ways in this city, and its strength and influ- ence is growing greater each day. Friday's edition of this news- paper will be directly under the control of the ladies of the cluo and they will be responsible for everything in it. It will be an interesting issue, too. Many ar- tides have been contributed by Dallas women and all are read- able and of local and general in- terest. Many xtra copies of the paper have been ordered and it is certain that the issue . will have a wide circulation. Watch for it.

Prince Albert; Freak and Keeper Near to Death From Hunger and Exposure; Will Land at Vlelorla. SEATTLE, April 8. Wireless re ceived by the American Press associa tion of this city Saturday conveyed the news that "Mooch Mooch,' the much heralded Chinese mystery, who was on board the ill-fated Moran at the time of the wreck of that vessel last week, was picked up In the Pacific last Saturday morning about 1200 miles west of Seattle by the Hrltish i-,.r "Prince Albert," bound for Victoria, B.

All bids were laid over tor one wees, aim na tion will be taken thereon, and tho, contract let, at a meeting of the coun cil to be held Monday night. Five bids on the proposed curbing contract were also opened and laid over for ona.week. Prices on inn work varied from 32 cents per foot to 44 cents. A bid submitted by John E. Martin for 60 cords of fir wood at $2.50 per ocrd for use at the rock quarry, was also laid over to the next meeting. Pass Peddler Ordinance. Future operations of peddlers, street vendors and auctioneers are re stricted by the passage of the new or dinance. Hereafter all such must first secure a license from the city recorder. Such license ranges in price from $2.50 to $50 per day ami its primary ' object is to protect the legitimate merchants against the itin erant street vendor and the fly-by-nlght bankrupt stock .sales. Whllo all such may ply their vocation tSy the payment of the regular license fee, It ls believed that the fee l'l each instance has been made so high that it will operate as a prohibitive measure. Nothing in the ordinance prevents farmers and others from disposing of the products of their farms or gardens in a house to house canvass. For Paid Fire lkpurtmeii. &n nnlinance creating a paid firo department for the city of Dallas was read the first time. This measure provides that the city fire department shall consist of not more than 20 members who are to receive the sum nf 12 ner month for their services under certain restrictions. The or dinance ls modeled after a similar measure adopted some time ago by the city of Hlllsboro where it has been said to work very satisfactorily. Claims Allowed.
