MERRY CHRISTMAS BELLS
Appropriate Exercises VIII Be Held
In Dallas Churches Tonight.

Is Santa Claus a myth? Well,
hardly At least IL would be a diff
cult matter 30 persuade the younger
generation that he is, after tonights
entertainments, for in four Of the
churches Of Dallas one can already
find the unmistakable evidences Of his
presence, and the benevolent old saint
has made positive promise TO appear
In at least two OF these places tonight
and, II possible, In a third.
Atthe Methodist Church a forest OF
five handsome trees has been deco
rated in long chains Of dark evergreen
and scarlet bells. After the close OF
the program, In which every class in
theSunday School will be represented,
these trees will be despoiled OF their
rich fruitage OF gifts and given over
asa prey TO the children. 1t is also
reported that Santa Claus may drop
10 10 take part in the festivities II he
can make arrangements to do so.
Although the patron saint OF Christ
mas time will not he present in person
at the Evangelical church, the church
will endeavor TO make up for that lack
by the elaborateness Of their deaora
tions. A midnight sky between the
arches OF the rostrum will fash with
beautiful stars and an enormous tree,
so tall that it can scarcely stand
upright In the hall, will bend under
its load OF fpresantz
The Christmas tree at the Presby-
terian church win be filled with
incaDdesoent bulbs, which will pro-
duce q very novel and beautiful
and lighting effect The decorations
viii consist mainly Of holly. After
the program is ended Santa Claus
viii appear on the scene and distribute
the gifts.
The main feature Of the program at
the Christian Church will be a bright
little Mother Goose play by the children
OF the Sunday School. Several fine
musical numbers have also been pre-
pared for the occasion. Here good
old St. Nick will be present to see that
justice is dealt out to the boys and
girls who have been so perfectly well
behaved during the past three or four
weeks.

BURDENSOME TAXATION.

The people Of Dallas received a
Christmas package from the city
council In the shape Of q G.S-mill tax
levy for general purposes and IL
mills for the water fund. This is the
highest tax levy in the history Of the
city, and is equal to 122 mills on the
old basis OF valuation. The receipts
for the coming year, including saloon
licenses and miscellaneous receipts,
viii not fall far short Of $1,000. Even
with this immense levy, the city is
almost certain to find itself broke
before the end Of the year, as a large
warrant Indebtedness has already
piled up, and the council will either
have 10 care for these warrants OF
continue paying interest on them.
Should the courty happen to go "dry"
at the June election, then it is certain
that all Of this big sum Of money will
be needed, and more.
A special tax Of IL mills was levied
for the payment Of interest on water
bonds and to call in one bond. Adding
this special tax 10 the general levy,
the people will be called upon TO pay
a total Of 8 mills on a double valuation
this year 1t is urged In defense Of
this unprecedented levy that the city
Is growing and that the tax levy must
grow accordingly. It is true that
Dallas is growing, but it will be hard
10 make the Taxpayers believe that the
city has doubled in growth and
importance in the last three years, as
taxes have doubled in that length Of
time. The OBSERVER has worked long
and earnestly for the upbuildiDg Of
Dallas, and desires 10 see the town
keep in the very front OF the onward
march Of the times, but ii regrets
exceedingly the existing condition Of
the town finances. The burden this
year will be hard TO bear.

HARMONY BETWEEN RACES.
Georgia Negroes Issue an Address De
fining Their Views.

AA4Ak 4uC4I v4CW6s
MACON, Ca, February 15-The negro
equal rights convention yesterday issued
an address defining the purposes of the as
ISOLATION.
1--WE join hands with all races and plead
for the majesty of the law and its strict
enforcement whether affecting whites or
blacks" it begins. 1t declares that peace
full relations now exist between the races;
that negroes do not encourage crime nor
harbor criminals of the race; demands bet
ter educational facilities in rural districts,
claiming that teachers are not qualified to
instruct the negro youth; urges negroes to
truthful and Industrious; that agricultural
colleges or schools be provided for the ne
gro youth, as 80 per cent of the negro
population is on the farms.
They urge male adults to pay all taxes
and qualify themselves for suffrage, de.
est guaranty Of all the rights of citizen
ship. They oppose convict labor in compe-
tition with free labor and deprecate ef-
forts to have convict labor on the Panama
canal; declare that the Jim Crow" car is
a disgrace to the race, is harsh, degrading
and unjust, ''and as revolving as It is to
ones sense Of justice, the present system
is so operated that our people may be and
are frequently subjected to many indigni-
ties, such as smoking and drinking in the
presence of our mothers, wives and daugh-
ters."
This Is the home of the negro, and
whites and blacks should dwell together
in peace and harmony, mutually depend
ent on one another" the address declares
in substance
The speakers were conservative, and no
reference was made to social equality.

WAS "M1ss1Na" 10 YEARS.
Highwayman's Blow Ruined Life of
Chicago Lawyer.

CHICAGO, February 15.-"Slugged' in
Chicago thirteen years ago and "awaking"
three days later in Hammond, md, minus
all the money he possessed and half his
clothing, Charles MCGEE Williams, once a
star University of Wisconsin base ball
pitcher, a graduate Of the Madison Law
School, became temporarily tramp. Given
up for dead by his relatives and friends.
Williams whereabouts remained a deep
| mystery until yesterday, when he was
found at Merrillville, Ind, by friend of
his youth. Williams brother was notified
and the family has been reunited.
Declaring that his life was a wreck"
caused by recurrent periods Of loss Of men,
DRY, due probably to a blow on the head
suffered at the hands of Chicago highway
| men, Williams has remained in obscurity
| all these years, in spite of repeated urgings
| Of the wife whom he married in Merrillville
| that he write to his relatives in Wisconsin
and make known his whereabouts.
| Williams came to Chicago in the latter
part of June, 1894, to begin practicing law.
| On July following he disappeared. Dean
E. Bryant of the Madison Law School took
| a personal interest in the case and engaged
Chicago private detectives to trace the
| missing lawyer. The detectives got no fur
| ther than the Briggs House, where WILL
| Jams registered on July g. and after a fruit
| less search of several months relatives and
| friends gave him up for dead.
This ends that portion of Williams his
tory which was known before yesterday,
when he told the remaining portion of his
story.
From the time walked out of the Briggs
| House on July g. he said. until 1 came
! to myself in Hammond three days later, my
mind was completely a blank. My money,
watei- and part of my clothing were gone.
II wandered about the sand Dunes
through little villages, and finally I landed
here in Merrillvil1e. Since Them at intervals,
my mind has played the same trick on me
that it did at first. Sometimes the lapses
continue for several hours, and sometimes
for several days..
Williams was married to Miss Clara Sax
ton of Merrillville six years ago. They
have no children. Mrs. Williams, who is
forty-five years DID, three years her hus-
bands senior, has never ceased her efforts
to persuade him to make use of his educa-
ton instead of eking out a homely living at
odd jobs, as he has been doing.
williams family at White Water is one
of the most prominent In that section of
the Badger state. HIS father was veal
farm homestead.

sustains Bailey's Will.

WHITE PLAINS. N. Y. February 49,
Surrogate Willard of Westchester county
today ordered that the will of James A.
Bailey the circus proprietor, be probated,
and that his property be distributed as ui-
rected by the will.
The surrogate scored the granddaughter
and nieces of Mr., Bailey for contesting the
will on the g1pund that the testator
was of unsoune mind when the will
was made. and) said he was of the
opinion that the action was taken more in
the hope OF obtaining q compromise than OF
upsetting the WILL He says he finds that
not only was the late Snowman of sound
mind. but that he was unusually shrewd In
all his business dealings, and there was
nothing in the evidence to indicate any un-
soundness Of mind.
Mrs. Bailey will now receive the entire
estate. as the viii and codicil Of the testa-
tor call for.

Commissioner Tavera to Take Rest.

Owing to i'll health T. H. Pardo Tavera,
one of the native members of the Philippine
commission, has been granted six months
leave of absence by Secretary Taft. Mr..
Tavera several months ago came to the
United States in the hope of benefiting by
the trip, but the retirement of Governor
General Ide and the appointment of Mr..
Magoon as provisional governor of Cuba
after he had been slated for a vacancy on
the commission made the return of Tavera
necessary in order to complete quorum of
that body, This had an undesirable effect
upon hts already impaired health, with the
result that he.is now obliged to give up his
labors entirely.A He contemplates spending
his time in Japan, where the climate is ex-
pected to greatly benefit him.
