The stores in Dallas are in holiday
attire, and present beautiful appear
ance, especially at night when they
are brilliantly lighted. Large crowds
OF Christmas shoppers are out every
evening, and the clerks are kept busy
until late hour. The Dallas mer-
chants are paying more attention to
the holiday trade each year, and people
do not find it necessary to go to the
large cities to find what they want in
the way Of presents. A lively trade
is expected for the next eight days.

The proof-reader on the Salem
Statesman should wise up a bit. For
three mornings in succession, he has
allowed his paper to say that Victor
F. Lawson Is the author Of "Frenzied
Finance" and that it is Victor f.
Lawson who is leading the sensational
raid on Amalgamated Copper in the
Wall Street stock exchange. This is
unjust to the noted Chicago editor,
whose name and that OF the Boston
bunco-steerer should not be mentioned
in the same breath.

PRIVATE WORDS FOR WOMEN

The eminent and successful electro
and medical physician, DR.. Darrin
has discovered and perfected a system
of treatment that has caused a revolu.
tion in the treatmentof female diseases
Whenever his electrical and medical
treatment is tested and known it has
done away with excessive dosings with
nauseaous drugs and painful surgical
operations, whereby so many precious
lives have been lost.
AS discovery it ranks with Har-
vey's discovery Of the circulation of
the blood. 1t has proved in more
than a thousand cases of the worst
kind to be positive cure for the fol-
lowing female diseases: Ovarian
tumors, ,polypus, liberation and dropsy
of the womb, inflammation, conges-
tion and falling Of the womb, painful
and suppressed menstruation, bearing
down pains, backache, headache,
racking cough, melancholy, absence
of ambition or desire to live; or in fact
any complaint having its origin in a
disordered state of the generat;ve and
accompanying organs, whether from
contagious diseases, heredity, tight
lacing or other causes.
His method Of treatment is harm
less, pleasant and mild. 1t is applied
directly to the parts; can be applied
by the patients themselves, thus Sc
curing local treatment at home, and
application is easy and simple. Its
curative action on the infiamed. con-
gested and liberated parts is immed-
late.
DR.. Darrin refrains from making
public the names of hundreds of
ladies who have been restored to
health, with due Difference to the
delicacy of their Affections.
The following card was voluntarily
offered by a lady desirous of helping
others similarly afflicted.

PROPOSITION FROM TRUSTS

Chicago, Sept. 23.-Walter ~ llman,
writing from New York fo, oday's

"This is the edict that has gone

1t is needless to say the Injunction
will be obeyed. The matter came up in
this way. Certain wealthy men of

ably interested in the success Of the
national ticket, were invited to sub
scribe as individuals to the campaign
fund They chose to discuss the pro-
posal, not as individuals, but as repre-

they are heavily interested. They want
ed to know what was to be the policy
of the Roosevelt administration toward
their corporations. What were they to
expect? What could Chairman Cortel-

in the way Of assurance? They were
not disposed to be exacting or unreas-

them to want to know, you know.

NEW DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN
TEXT BOOK a TAME AFFAIR

"By the way of emphasizing the is
sue of constitution opposed to 'impe-
rialism,' the democratic campaign book
contains as a preface the full text of
the constitution Of the United States.
The place of next Importance is ac.
corded the tariff and the trusts, sixty
of the 314 pages Of the volume being
devoted to this discussion"
The committee among other things
asserts that the book contains facts
and figures to prove that times are
just as hard now as they were in 1898
The synopsis continues:
The other more important issues
treated somewhat fully are the Phil
ippines,' republican extravaganza,
reciprocity, and the Panama affair.
Irrigation, ship subsidy and the execu

in the gold standard as fixed by the
usage and verdict Of the business
world, and that the only real way tc
keep the question from becoming un

understanding could be arrived at;
no arrangement could be made. This
decision was not only rendered
promptly, but it was handed down in
vigorous and emphatic language-lan-
guage which should like to quote, but
cannot under pledge not to.
This is the second time Mr.. Roose-
welt has refused to dicker with the
trust people. Last winter, before the
death Of Senator Hanna, and when il
was thought by some people that there
was doubt about the Presidents nom.
ination for second term, certain rich
men of this city sent an eminent re.
publican to Washington, to inquire
what assurance could be had of the
policy of the President toward the
trusts after March 4. Then. as now
the response was quick and emphatic
Moreover, On that occasion the facts
were obtained in some way by your
correspondent, and publication of the
story of the futile attempt TO place
President Roosevelt Sin leading
strings to handle him created quite
a sensation.
A Second Attempt.
1T was supposed generally that
would be the last effort Of the sort
But no. Taking advantage of the we'll.

NARROW EoLAPE Ioss WRECK

Washington, D. c., Sept. 2S.-The
engine of the special train on which
the President and his family were re-
turning to Washington from Oyster
Bay met with an accident at Baltimore
last evening, which probably would
have resulted in terrible disaster but
for the fact that it occurred during the
few moments of the entire trip when
the train was not running rapidly
Just as the train was entering the
tunnel, and gathering speed after slew
ing up at the Charles street station,
the tire flew off the rear driving whesI
of the engine on the fireman's side.
The heavy steel ring, four inches
wide, and two inches thick, curlcd up
under the engine and one end Of 1t
was driven into the boiler. The jar
and rush Of escaping steam told the en-
gineer. Joe Weatherby, that something
was wrong, and he instantly applied
the air brakes.
The train was not running more than
three miles an hour and it cane to a
stop within car length.
The steam escaped from the torn
boiler so rapidly that the engine was
dead" in few minuptes and it was
pulled away and fresh engine sabsri
tute, causing delay of forty-fve
minutes.
Presidents First Accident.
The accident was the first chat The
President has encountered on any Of
his trips. Had it occurred while the

train was running IS miles an ilour.
as it did throughous/the trip except
when passing through Baltimore, the
train would have been wrecked. with
probably heavy loss Of life. 1t is by no
means certain that in that event the
heavy Pullman occupied by the .'resi
dent and his family would have escap-
ed partial or complete destruction, for
there were only three light coaches
between it and the engine. The train
men and mechanics who examined the
broken tire could not account eor the
break. The engine was one of the new
est and best on the Pennsylvania road,
and 1t was carefully inspected before
1t was attached to the Presidents
train at Philadelphia.
Looked At as Miracle.
The break was clean one, showing
no rust, and there was no apparent
flaw in the steel The experts regard
ed 1t as remarkable that the tire
should break while the train was run
ming SO slowly.
The Presidents special was rim as
the second section of a regular train
and ran ten minutes behind the first
section. The regular train stopped
about eight minutes at Baltimor. and
the special was forced to slow down
almost to q stop at the depot to allow
the first section to get out Of the way
1t was just as the special was agair
gathering headway that the tire flew
off.
