We are called upon to mourn the loss

has sustained a loss that time cannot
heal, circumstances ameliorate or events
diminish that this Lodge therefore

tions be spread upon the minute of the

Commercial Appeal.
While Governor Vardaman is doing a
great and good work in furthering the
interests and objects of the Mississippi
Cotton Association, there are some per-
sons mean enough to insinuate that in
making this canvass he is quietly and
covertly pushing along his canvass for
the United States Senate to succeed
Senator Money. The governor is not a
man Of that iIk or make; he never fights
under cover, but is open and above in
all that he does. If he intends to be-
come a candidate for the senate he will
let the fact be known in ample time, and
proceed to make his canvass openly,
courageously, honorably just as he did in
his recent race for the governorship.-

BOY FINDS NUGGET
GOId-Bearing Quartz Ledge Discov-
cred Almost Inside Dallas
City Limits.

The discovery Of a nugget Of gold
weighing three-fourths Of an ounce
almost within the city limits of Dallas
has caused considerable excitement
here this week. The news of this find
would make first-class story for the
romance editors Of the yellow journals,
but the OBSERVER will endeavor to
avoid sensational and groundless
rumors and present it's readers with
all the reliable information the paper
has been able to obtain.
A few days ago the young sons of
Frank Fuchs, the proprietor of the
Mill street bakery, were amusing
themselves by breaking rocks on
what appeared to be a large boulder
on the banks Of the LaCreole river
near town, and in one Of the frag-
ments of rock detached from the sup
posed boulder they found a lump of
yellow metal which they mistook for
brass. They lost no time in taking
the specimen to their father, who saw
at a glance that it was pure gold.
Taking a neighbor, Mr.. Gohrke, with
him, Mr.. Fuchs went at once to the
scene of the discovery and with a
hammer succeeded in chipping out
the remainder Of the gold, which,
when weighed, showed three-quarters
OF an ounce OF the precious yellow
metal. The find was made within one
mile Of Dallas.
Mr.. Fuchs informs us that there is
no doubt that the home Of this nugget
is the outcropping Of ledge of con-
siderable size. In hasty. though
thorough, examination he found un-
evidences of quartz de-
posits, and a well-defined vein was
traceable. A Portland assayer who
has examined sample of the gold
and quartz, says that the nugget is
not what is known as an accidental"
deposit, but that it was embedded in
gold-bearing quartz. The rock from
which the gold was taken has the ap-
pearance of what is commonly known
as rotten quartz.
Mr.. Fuchs says he will have repre-
sentative of a large mining concern
make thorough examination of the
ledge early in the Spring, and his
future movements will be determined
oy the findings Of the expert. If the
report is favorable. he will at once

1t will require more than the testi-
mony of S. A. D. Puter and others of
his ilk to convince the people Of Ore
gon that Senator Mitchell and Con-
gresham Hermann are guilty Of
completely in the Oregon land frauds.
No one who is familiar with the past
life and faithful record of these two
officials will be willing to accept as
true the charges made against them
by a convicted perjurer and rascal
who is seeking to evade the punish
ment due him. The people Of Oregon
will not believe Mitchell and Hermann
guilty of the alleged crimes for which
they have been indicted until they are
proven guilty by the evidence OF
reliable witnesses.

The annual Angora show held at
Dallas deserves encouragement. 1t
is the only special Angora show held
in the United States except the National
shows Of the Angora Goat Breeders
Association. If the annual show in
Oregon is maintained and supported
it cannot fail to be a great aid in pro-
noting the Angora industry Of the
state. It has already done much good
and the benefits Of the show should
increase from year to year. 1t is ex-
pected, as a matter Of course, that
every man in Oregon who makes
specially of breeding fine goats will
make an exhibit at the Lewis and
Clark Exposition. There is a good
opportunity for breeders to compare
notes by taking exhibits to the Dallas
show.-Rural Northwest.

TRY For Hon Pool.

Krebs brothers, ofSalem, the largest
hopgrowers of Oregon, are said to
have made a proposition to the
growers Of the state who are still hold
ing hops, to open a joint account, pro-
vided the growers will agree not to
part with their holdings unless they
receive 81 cents before April or May.
After that time the growers can sell at
even less than that figure, and the
Salem company will stand half the
loss, taking 80 cents for choice and 90
cents for primes at the present basis
OF market. 1t is not considered likely
that the Krebs project to pool for 81
cents will meet with favor, as growers
and dealers who have had confidence
to hold so far, demand the right to
dispose of their hops whenever they
see any chance to sell at much above
the present prices.

PORT ARTHUR FALLS

Port Arthur has surrendered. EX-
hausted by the months Of almost
constantfighting, ,decimated by disease
and casualties and hopelessly sealed
in its rocky fortress, the gallant garri-
son has yielded to its gallant be-
siegers, and the end is now written of
one Of the mostdramatic war incidents
Of modern times.
The conditions of surrender we're
quickly arranged, and are of the most
magnanimous character. The Russian
officers Will be permitted to return
home on parole, and the soldiers Of the
defeated army will be held as prisoners
Of war pending cessation Of
hostilities.
The fall Of Port Arthur immensely
strengthens the hands of Japan. In
the actual conduct Of the war Port
Arthur has been a stumbling block to
Japan, which for six months has had
engaged there over 100000 troops and
practically her entire navy. This fact
compelled Field Marshal Oyama to
fight the battle Of Liao Yang short
handed. Now the entire navy is free
to prepare to meet the Russian second
Pacific squadron and to attend to the
Vladivostok squadron. A heavy force
of troops will be Immediately avail
able for service in Manchuria, and
possibly will allow the Undertaking of
other independent enterprises. 1t is
believed that the war will soon end.

MANY WERE MASKED
Sons of Dryads' Holiday Ball Was
Pleasant Social Affair.

Innocent fun and frolic reigned
supreme at the masquerade ball given
by the Sons of Dryads, (the side de.
gree of the Dallas Camp Of Wood
men, at the City Hall last Friday
evening. The attendance Of dancers
and spectators was large, and more
maskers appeared on the floor in the
grand march than have been seen at
any ball since the famous masquerade
given by the Dallas Fire Department
about fifteen years ago. The Inde-
pendence orchestra, under the leader
ship of Prof. Frank Lucas, furnished
excellent music for the dancers, and
favored the audience with a half
hours concert before the maskers
entered the hall.
The characters assumed by the
maskers covered nearly every phase
Of life, many nationalities and classes
OF people being represented. A
noticeable feature Of the masquerade
was that the costumes of great
majority of the dancers had been pre-
pared with much care as to details,
and the disguise in most cases was
perfect.
At 10 o'clock, the maskers were
formed in a circle in the center Of the
hall and the prizes for the best sus-
tained characters were awarded by the
judges, DR.. w. Tyler Smith, of Sheri-
dan, and E. G. Kirkpatrick and
Charles F. Belt, of Dallas. The
prizes were won by Miss Bessie Mus
colt, as "Topsy," and J. G. Hayter as
''Dr. Sawbones."
The ball was a financial success
and neat sum was netted to the lodge
treasury, Notwithstanding the fact
that the event had been planned
solely for the purpose of providing a
pleasant evening of social amuse-
ment for the young people and with
out thought Of realizing more than
enough money to pay the expenses of
the ball.
