RARE MUSICAL TREAT
Chicago Ladies' Quartet Pleases
Large Audience in Dallas.

People who failed to attend the con-
cert given by the Philharmonic
Ladies' Quartet at the Presbyterian
church, Tuesday evening missed the
best musical entertainment that has
ever been given in Dallas. A fair
sized audience was present and en-
joyed treat such as is heard only
once iii a lifetime outside the large
cities. The young women composing
the quartet are all good singers, have
an attractive personality, and give a
program that has not an inferior
number in it. They graciously re-
sponded to every encore, and thus
made themselves doubly popular with
their delighted audience. Every mem
Der of the company is an accomplished
soloist, something that can be said Of
few travelling quartets, and the solo
numbers have all been selected with
rare good taste. The principal enter
tainer is Miss Adele Davis, charm
ing young woman whose character
impersonations won for her the instant
favor OF her hearers. Miss Davis is a
clever mimic, and her readings cover
a wide range from grave to gay. Her
best number was "AuX Italiens" by
Lytton. Miss Fanny Ferguson has
a clear soprano voice, over which she
has perfect control at all times, and
her sister Elizabeth is endowed with
the rarest Of all voices, pure con-
tralto. Miss Harriet Eddy has
mezzo-soprano voice Of remarkable
smoothness. Many female quartets
bearing the name Of the big town on
the shore of Lake Michigan have
been heard in the West in the last ten
or twelve years, but the Chicago Phil
harmonics are the best Of all. If these
young women will make another tour
Of the Coast towns next year, the
houses will not be large enough to
hold the people who will want to hear
them sing.

DEATH ENDS SUFFERING
Charles Carter Passes Away After
Long and Painful Illness.

Charles Uel Carter, a son of Mr.,
and Mrs. G. A. Garter, died at the
family home in this city, Saturday,
November 10, at 2 o'clock p. M, after
an illness Of five weeks. When the
family left Texas, bound for Oregon,
early in October, the young man was
suffering from malaria. He steadily
grew worse, and after they arrived in
Dallas it was found that he had
organic disease of the liver. The
skill of talented surgeons was en-
ployed on his case, but their efforts
were of no avail, and the sufferer
passed away Saturday afternoon.
The funeral was held from the
Baptist church on Sunday afternoon
at 2 o'clock, the services being con-
Quoted by the pastor, Rev. J. NJ.
Green. The church was crowded to
the doors, and the ceremonies were
simple but Impressive throughout.
Music was furnished by a special
choir, and the floral offerings were
many and beautiful. The pallbearers
were Fred West, Robert Marsh, Will
Weaver, Charles Freitag, Wesley
Vaughn and W. L. Soehren. Inter
ment took place in the Odd Fellows
cemetery.
Charles Carter was born in Brown
county, Texas, on February 25, 1885.
He was ayoung man of correct habits,
and was respected by all who knew
him. During his long sickness, he
was gentle and patient, and no word
of complaint was heard to pass his
lips. His death, in the bright morn
ing Of his manhood, is a sad blow
to the family.

Osteopathy For woman's Diseases.

Osteopathy is almost specific for the
many distressing disorders peculiar
to women; and a comprehensive
understanding Of the anatomy of the
pelvic organs the blood and the nerve
supply thereof, and the conditions
present in such disorders as painful
or difficult menstruation, congestion
or Inflammation Of the uterus and
ovaries, prolapsus, displacements, ETC.,
will readily reveal why Osteopathic
treatment can be expected to overcome
these conditions.
All the above disorders are due to
pelvic congestion; the result of the
disturbed or obstructed blood supply
or nerve influences, and require for
their correction suitable mechanical
treatment such as is within the power
OF the osteopath to give. Osteopathy
will positively cure 80 per cent of these
disorders, and benefit is soon felt.
Osteopathy requires neither drugs,
surgery, nor faith; the treatment is
not severe, and need in no manner
shock the most delicate sensibilities.
Osteopathy is essentially a nerve
treatment, and will more surely and
quickly 'build up" a weakened sys-
tenn than any other treatment in ex-
istence. There are substantial reasons
why this is true; reasons easily
diseeIned by those who will investigate
and compare its principles with we'll
established truths of anatomy and
physiology. Consultation free. Hours
9 a. nj to $50 p. m. Mondays, We'd |
nesdays, and Fridays. Evenings and
Sundays by appointment. Office in

1t is an old saying that one must 60
away from home to get the news.
Last weeks issue Of the Independence
Enterprise says:
"All Of the Dallas city officials
threaten to resign before election time
rolls round next Spring. What's the
matter?"
Nothing is the matter; or, at least,
no such move on the part Of the city
officers has been heard Of here in
Dallas. While it is known that some
of the present city officers will not ask
for reelection next Spring, there is no
reason to believe that any one Of them
will resign his position before his
term Of Office expires. These officers
feel that they have accomplished all
that they started in to do-namely, to
provide the city with mountain water,
sewerage, and up-to-date fire appar-
atus, and at the coming election they
will step aside and let others take up
the work which the management Of
the city affairs entails, and Of which
every good citizen should be willing to
perform his share. The greater num-
Der OF these officers have private
business interests that demand their
entire attention, aud as some Of them
have served the city without compen-
satlon for six or eight years, they feel
that they have done all that can
reasonably be asked Of them. Probably
few citizens have any realization OF
the amount Of time that has been
given to the city by these men in the
last four years in drafting an entire
new code Of ordinances, getting the
finances into good business shape, and
carrying out the many improvements
that have been made during that
period Of time. While the writer Of
this paragraph has no means Of
knowing whether any OF the present
councilmen will be candidates for re-
election, he does know that the men,
bers Of the board are working
harmoniously together, and that there
is no reason to believe that any officer
will forsake his duties before his term
OF office expires.
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1904-11-25

Noting that the city council is pre-
pairing to place a license tax OF 500
a year on insurance companies doing
business in Dallas if the insurance
rates are not reduced, the Board OF
Underwriters Of the Pacific write that
a reduction Of rates may be expected
any day, and the council is asked to
take no steps to hinder this reduction
being made at once. Well and good.
All that the people of Dallas ask is
that the insurance companies grant
the reduction that was promised when
the present splendid water system
was completed. The council has no
desire to be stubborn in the matter,
and would rather see the citizens Of
Dallas get reduced insurance rates
than to pile up license money in the
city treasury. Relief from the present
burdensome rates is all that is asked

to such an extent that he was almost
totally deaf. Two months ago the
young man came to DR.. Darrin, at
Hotel Willamette for treatment and
today called at the Journal office to
state that he could hear as we'll as
anybody. The reporter talked to him
in a low voice and was conuinced that
his hearing was as good as the best.

SCHOOL WILL EXHIBIT
Directors of Dallas District Make
Appropriation for Display at
1905 Fair.

The Dallas public school will be
represented at the Lewis and Clark
Fair by a fine display of the work oil
the pupils. The last drawback in the
way of a lack of money was removed d
Saturday evening when the directors
met and decided to appropriate all the
funds necessary for the preparation OF
a credltable exhibit. Work on the
exhibit is to be commenced at once.
The Dallas school is among the first
in the state to take steps toward a
contribution to the educational ex-
hibit at the big Fair, and the directors
are to be, congratulated for their
liberal and public-spirited action.
