NO FEAR OF BURGLARS
Officers Of Dallas City Bank Are Not
Alarmed by Raids at Newberg
and Sheridan.

The attempt to rob the Bank OF New
berg two weeks ago and the successful
raid on the Sheridan bank last Sun
day night are not causing the officers
of the Dallas City Bank the least con-
Germ for the safety Of their property
and the funds entrusted to their keep
ing. The Dallas bank has spent
thousands of dollars in the last two
years to protect its depositors against
just such raids as these, and the fact
that attempts have been made to blow
up the safes in the banks of two
neighboring towns does not prevent
the officers Of the Dallas institution
from sleeping as soundly as usual.
'No; we are notin the least alarmed,
and we think that few, if any, Of our
customers have any fear Of losing any
money entrusted to our care" said
Cashier r. E. Williams the other day,
when questioned by an OBSERVER rep
resentative as to whether the raids
upon the Newberg and Sheridan
banks were causing any uneasiness
among the officers Of the Dallas bank.
''In the first place." said he, "our
Manganese steel safe is the best safe
manufactured. 1t has been subjected
to every test that the brain of man
has been able to devise, and it has
successfully withstood every attempt
to blow it open. Manganese steel, of
which it is constructed, is so tough
that it will resist, without breaking or
cracking, charges Of dynamite or
nitro-glycerine that would wreck the
largest building. It is SO hard that
no burglar could possibly drill il. 1t
is the only steel known that will resist
a diamond drill.
again" said Mr.. Williams, ''the
Dallas City Bank carries enough in
surance in a first-class company to
cover any loss of cash that might be
caused by burglary at night or a hold
up during business hours. The
amount of insurance carried is also
sufficient to protect the owners Of the
bank from any damage that might be
caused to the building or furniture by
the use Of high explosives. In fact,
we have taken every possible pre-
caution to protect ourselves and our
customers from loss, and depositors
can rest assured that they are in alb
solutely no danger whatever of losing
one cent entrusted to our keeping.
Their interests have been safeguarded
at every point"
The Hibbard Rodman-Ely safe in
use in the Dallas bank was installed
two years ago at cost of $1,000. 1t is
guaranteed by it's makers to be abso-
lutely mob and burglar proof, 1t is
identical in every respect to the safes
used by the banking houses of Ladd
& Tilton, of Portland, and Ladd &
Bush, of Salem, and other greatbank-
ing institutions throughout the
country. The United States Govern
ment used this make OF safe for the
protection Of it's $15O,OOO gold quartz
exhibit at the Paris Exposition, and
also at the Pan-American Exposition
held in Buffalo, New York. The safe
was awarded the Gold Medal at both
shows,

FROM SOUTH AFRICA
New Way of Using Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy.

Mr.. Arthur Chapman writing from
Durham, Natal, South Africa, says: "As
a proof that Chamberlain Cough Rem
edy is cure suitable for old and young,
1 pen you the following: A neighbor Of
mine had child just over two months
old. 1t had very bad cough and the
parents did not know what to give it, I
suggested that if they would get bottle
of Chamherlain's Cough Remedy and
put some upon the dummy teat the
baby was sucking itwould no doubt cure
the child. This they did and brought
about quick relief and cured the baby"
This remedy is for sale by Wilson Drug

The students of Dallas College gave
an interesting entertainment in the
Chapel, Friday evening. The house
was comfortably filled, as many as
$50 people paying admission at the
door. The program consisted prin-
c;pally of music and recitations, the
musical numbers being furnished by
Miss Halle Morrison, Prof. Dunkel-
berger and the College Quartet. Miss
Edna Parrish, of the Department of
Oratory and Expression, gave two de-
lightful readings, the second, a juve-
nile poem, being especially pleasing
to the audience. Miss Parrish is
talented reader, and possesses a grace
and charm Of manner that wins the
instant admiration of her hearers.
The Department of Oratory, under
her able direction, is rapidly growing
in popularity with the students of the
College. Fred West appeared in
negro dialect story, Sunday Fishin,"
and in response to an encore gave an
impersonation of Dan Polling deliver
ing his Prohibition oration. His work
was decidedly clever. Arthur Wilson,
director Of the College, gave
an exhibition Of Illuminated club
swinging that was new to a Dallas
audience, and this feature alone was
considered by all to be worth the price
Of admission. The entertainment
closed with the farce "The Great
Arrival" A neat sum Of money was
netted to the Prohibition Clubs
treasury from the proceeds of the
performance.
