"A day off" was the slogan of num erous Dallnsites as they assembled in droves and caravans, on the natal day, along the banks of the placid La Creole. Many went to Monmouth, Falls City and Pedee, and to other points where celebrations were held, programs rendered and blisters cre ated where sunburns had heretofore predominated. Save for the noise of the torpedo and the merry chug of the passing auto, Dallas would not have known of the one hundred ana eignm birthday of American self-subsistence without interference. Those who found "a day off" to their satisfaction and passed the day pleasantly and profitably in the shad ows of the grand old wood, wliere gentle zephyrs sigh, and music-throat ed birds appeal to the listening ear, according to notes taken by one who patrolled the banks ot the La Creole, were the following parties : C. G. Coad and "family, A. V. R. Snyder and family, F. E. Snyder and fnmilv. all of Dallas. They were ac companied by W. C. Cook and T. J. Warren and families of McMinnville. This made up a party of twenty and they found a pleasant nook in the vicinity of the historic Ellendale mill "commingling socially, and profit ably," said one of the party, pitching horseshoes near the mountain last- ness, where the laughing waters of the LaCieole dance in merriment in the sunlight as they rush onward and downward toward the handsome val ley, while Coad made a "ringer" and Snyder took a chew of Climax. Camped near this party of revelry were Marion and Charles Syron and families, M. D. Ellis, I. L. Smith and families. A. J. Martin and wife, G. W. Hinshaw and family, Messrs. Stand ard and Watson and families, Dr. and Mrs. Mark Hayter, C. D. For- rette and family, J. G. Brown and wife, H. A. Woods and wife, Harry Viers and wife and Miss Vieis, and several parties from Salem. Cleve Bureh, with no family, carried a num ber of the gentler sex across the creek and attempted to scale the side of an unsealed peak with minor dumage to the lunch basket, so it is reported, ,x cent for a slight swelling of tin craniums of Chet Coad and Tom Warren, winners in the quoit con test, there was serenity on the banks of the La Creole. awhile. At any rate, the rider went into tfie ditch and got skinned up con siderably adthough not seriously hurt The accident happened between here and Dallas. Statesman. THE PRAISE CONTINUES. Everywhere We Hear Good Reports of Doan's Kidney Pills. Dallas is no exception. Every sec tion of the V. S. resounds with praise of Doan's Kidney Pills. Thirty thous and persons are giving testimony in their home newspapers. The sinceri ty of these Avitnesses, the fact that they live so near, is the best proof of the mirt of Doau's. Here's a Dallas case. Mrs. C. E. Graves, 121 Washington street, Dallas Oregon, says: "Kid ney trouble and rheumatism came on me and I gradually grew worse, until 1 could hardly endure the suftenng. Dull pains settled in my back and across my kidneys. 1 had sharp, shooting twinges all through my body.. I tried a great deal of medicine but nothing gave me much relief until I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. They helped me from the first and soon had me feeling like a different woman. Doan's Kidney Pills have benefitted me in every way. They have improved my appetite and my weight has increased." Price 50c. at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mrs. Graves had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. Frank Chapin Injured. Frank Chapin, an employe of the Salem, Falls City & Western railway, was very painfully injured in the com pany's shops in this city late Friday afternoon by being hit with a trip hammer, several ribs being broken. Mr. Chapin was rushed to the hospi tal, wliere eveiy possible relief was given him, and at last accounts was improving rapidly. Thrown From Motorcycle. Orin Miles, a Salem barber, was thrown from a motorcycle Sunday while riding between Independence and Dallas and sustained a badly bruised right knee. It was at first reported that his leg was broken but examination proved otherwise. SUNDAY EVENING. YOUNG MAN! YOU WILL MAKE NO MISTAKE WHEN YOU TAKE HER TO DINE AT THE GAIL, BOOSTERS. BOOSTERS. BOOSTERS, BOOSTERS. There will be a special meeting of the Commercial club, at the court house, on Wednesday evening, July 8, at 8 o'clock. That's tomorrow evening. And yon, Mr. Booster, are expect ed to be present and to par ticipate in the deliberations, which will be for "the good or the order," Dallas in par ticular and Polk county in general. Just because it's the good old snmmer time do not think that there is nothing to be done. There's something doing all the time with the Commercial club and yon may as well be in on it. Gleanings From the Proceedings. The septic tank bonds will not be offered for sale at this time, for the reason that the cost of the improve ment is not definitely known. The city has about $3,000 in the road fund, anil as only $1,000 of this amount is likely to be used this season sufficient money may be borrowed temporarily from this fund to buy the land and start the work. There having been no remonstranc es to proposed street improvements, the council has decided to macadamize Shelton, Jefferson, Ash and Hayter streets to a width of forty feet, rock to have a depth of eight inches in the center and four at the curb. Con crete curbs are called for by the spec ifications. The work must be com Dieted by October 1. An ordinance providing for the sale of bonds for the purchase of the Rowell tract of land for county fair and park purposes was adopted unan imously. The bonds are to run for a period of ten years at six per cent, and will be issued in denominations of $100 each, making a total of fifty. The bridge at the mill pond will be rebuilt, at an estimated cost of $350. The new structure will be higher than the present one. Mr. Daniels having neglected to pay his sewer assessment, amounting to about $30, steps were ordered taken to collect it. If the city is not permitted to at tach street signs to the Oregon Power company's poles the old sign posts will be repaired and placed in good condition. The tannery bridge has been order ed repaired. Mr. Strang, a septic tank expert, investigated conditions here, and re ported favorably on the Brown site. The marshal reports .a large num ber of sidewalks in bad repair, and the street committee will order sev eral rebuilt. Mr. Starr has lieen appointed spec ial speed police officer, to be paid from fines collected. Livery Business Sold. Graham & Son have sold their livery business at Monmouth to George W. Sullivan and E. E. Raike who took charge Wednesday morning. Messrs. Sullivan and Raike purchased every thing but the buildings and lot. and will take care of the whole livery trade, and Graham & Son jvill devote their time to the care of their garage. Herald. DR. TOEL, Noted Cancer and Tumor Specialist, formerly of Chicago. Dr. Toel has for 30 years made a specialty of removing cancers and tu mors without the use of the knife and eating plasters. When cancers are removed with the knife, the cancer cells and germs infect, during the op eration, the opened blood vessels and lymph spaces; they multiply in the nicely sewed up wound like in a hot bed and, in a short time a return ot the cancer appears in the scar. About 80 per cent of cancers operated on th the knife thus return. If can cel's are eaten out with a plaster the pain is intense for hours and days, while the slow working, and often re peated plasters irritate the" cancer germs and cells so that they quickly multiply and migrate through the lymph vessels into the lymphatic glands, where they form a secondary cancer and thus make the situation worse than before the plasters were applied. Dr. Toel's electrical meth ods allow him to remove cancers with out the loss of a single drop of blood, in a single operation, often in a few hlinutes. As there is no loss of blood, there are no open blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, and no danger of blood poisoning, while, as there can be no fresh inoculation, there is veiy little danger of the return of the cancer; there is no pain atter the op eration and, as it is done in a single act, no danger of irritating the can cer cells and germs and of driving them into the glands. Ihus a second ary cancer is a great rarity if the electrical operation is done in time. Fibroid tumors of the womb, and similar tumors are recommended by electrical methods without the use of the knife. Dr. Toel uses the same or similar methods for polypus, goitre, piles, fistula, his operation being ab solutely without loss of blood and mostly painlesf or connected with only very slight pain, while, after the op eration there is absolutely no pain at all. Electrical and other physiological methods are also used by him in dis eases of women, skin and nervous diseases, neuralgia, neurasthenia, gout, rheumatism, diseases of the liver, stomach, kidneys, bladder, prostrate gland, asthma, bronchitis, -catarrh, dyspepsia, and constipation. Dr. Toel does not believe in filling the stomach full of medicines, often only to interfere with its natural ac tion. He prescribes medicine very rarely as his electrical and other ap paratus allows him to effect cures far quicker and surer than medicines would do. Dr. Toel has for over 30 years made a specialty of electrical operations and treatments. Office, 619 Washington street, Dal las, Oregon, one-half block east of the S.
