DALLAS, TEX. Oct. lS.-The board OF
trade Will hold q short session each morn
ing during the fair to arrange and tran
sact important business that may require

A number of burglaries were COM
mitted last night, by which people lost
their watches, chains, money and
clothes.
The Dallas gun club are preparing for
| grand shoot at Oak Cliff to take place
on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of
next week. They are receiving daily
large numbers of pigeons to be used.
For the past two days Charles Henry
| has been on trial liz Judge Burke's court
for the murder Of his wife. To-day the
| jury returned o verdict of :not guilty.
| and Henry was discharged. The killing
| of Mrs. Henry took place in this city over
| three years ago, and defendant claims

finding one Hunter Farrell and Mrs.
Henry in too ultimate relations. Henry
claims that Farrell shot 1T him before he

RAILROAD.
Night before last u serious acc!d ent
occurred 10 the yards of the Gulf, Colo
RADIO and Santa Fe railroad, but the
| affair has been kept unusually quiet.
| The incoming passenger oollided with
switch engine that was standing on the
| track. and but for the low rate of speed
being made by the passenger train the
results might have been fatal. As 1t
was both engines are in wrecked con-
dition and no one hurt.
The finest feature of to-dny's trades
display was the float of the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas railroad. The repre-
| sentntion was OF q railroad train going
| over bridges, through deep cuts and tun-
| nels. Mounted on the top was young
| lady, the Mascot of the road. The
W hole was lifelike and true to nature.
The house of Travelling Passenger
Agent Bonney Fegan of the Texas and
Pacific was entered by burglars this
morning and $40 IN cash, valuable
watch and chain and other valuables
were taken. No clew to the perpetrn-
tors of the deed.
OAK CLIFF.
AS city of phenomenal growth the
Southwest has never produced rival TO
Oak Cliff, and is safe to say that it never
will. Cities of population and wealth
| are not often built in two years unless
nature has lent her aid in the way OF
rich deposits OF gold, silver, iron or
couls; yet here we find city only
twenty-eight months old that has a
population of 1000 people, and people OF
wealth, influence and high social stand
ing. The people who reside 10 oak
Cliff were attracted, first. by its natural
location as reside point for the sum
mer; but once there they find 1t not only
desirable Us q summer home, but
superior all-year-arouud location, and
those who moved there intending to re-
main only in the summer could not be
persuaded to change their residence for
any other point, even III winter. But
Oak Cliff is not exclusively residence
city as many suppose, but numerous
business houses have been bull and are
occupied, and many others5 are con-
tiuunlly in course of construction.
FACTORIES are up and running ana more
building. large and extensive cotton
mill md paper mil will soon be under
the supervision OF the buiisers, and the
skilled labor that will be}heccessary to
operate them when finHhed will add
thousands to the popWation of Oak
iii. Ne NOuiu suSSCsL ~
every person who visits Dallas
during the iair that thief take the time
to visi, Oak Cliff and stE for themselves
what push, enterprise Ind location can
do in the way IF rapidsciiy building. Oak
Cliff is always tn attraction. and once
visited there is Selw&6s desire to go
again. Newspapegska n "blow up" aud
Hboom' q town tfM has no merit, and
when you go TO see Ne place you are dis
gusted, but when s. visit Oak Ciif you
will undoubtedly 4yk rs nearly every
one else does, thasSwofSs cannot begin TO
express the benuH and the advantages
of this stqueen IL the Bluffs. Situated
as Oak Cliff is sQ3nurh hfAher than the
surrounding coxhtry, avn from the
river aud its injurious influences, it can
not fail 70 inspSe confideuceNn the mind
of every risitoffas to its heA thfulness.
Then, too, oaf Cliff has ev&y conve-
nieuce in the Nay of modern Improve
meut that is 9dund in any Te&As city;
street cars, eEctric lights, water orks,
macadamizaTstr streets and city paris are
bu, few oEtne many convenience the
place afford8. Aud yet we find hero no
mayor, uosEldermen, no city govefn-
mert. But all this will soon be changed,
as on October 80 the first election for
city officers will take place, and then
Oak Cliff will register herself as one OF
the cities OF the Texas sisterhcoi. An
other thing--this city is under the
reign of local option, and people
residing here can rear their children out
from under the polluting influences of
the liquor traffic. Their daughters can
walk the streets In perfect safety without
the dread of being exposed to the insults
fh..f,
sous are out OF sight Of home they have
no fear of them being under the DEGRADE
ing influences found in liquor selling
towns. Oak Cliff ia certainly endowed
with the blessings OF happy homes,
pleasant surroundings, contented and
prosperous people.
