The OBSERVER pays no attention to
requests for sample copies sent in on
postal cards. In Is years of news
paper experience, we have never re-
ceived a subscription from one OF
these postal card applicants. A man
who is not sufficiently interested in
Dallas and Polk county to send a
sealed request for copies of the local
papers, at the same time enclosing
stamps for return postage, is entitled
to no favors at the hands Of the pub
fishers. We are not sure that these
penny postal card chaps are the kind
of people Polk county wants, anyhow.

No Balloon Ascension.

The only feature advertised on the
Dallas Fourth of July posters that
will not be on the program is
the balloon ascension. At the time
the posters were printed the com.
mittee felt assured that they could
secure a balloonist for that day,
but it has since been learned that nc
balloon can be had. Everything else,
such as the three brass bands, four
baseball teams, etc, have been en-
gagged as advertised. The money set
aside for the balloon ascension will be
spent for other first-class amuse-
ments. Dallas is entertaining her
good friends and neighbors on this
occasion and desires to keep faith
with them by providing every attrac-
tion advertised. Failing to secure a
balloon ascension, this word of expla-
nation is due to those who are coming
to enjoy with us the biggest celebra-
tion ever held in Polk county.

Between the rabid ones who demand
conviction in spite of everything, the
equally rabid ones who are shouting
for either an acquittal or a fight, and
the cool-headed citizens who ask for a
just decision, without fear and with
out favor, the Haywood jury has
doubtless found out what it feels like
to get thoroughly in between the devil
and the deep sea.

While it makes the blood pure, fresh

Nesbit Thaw before the commencement
OF the trial Of her husband, Harry X.
Thaw, on the change Of numbering
Stanford White, was confirmed here to-

This action, it was explained was
not necessary on the part of Thaw's
mother to induce her sons wife to tell
her story on the stand, nor was it ar
ranged in any way to be affected by
the outcome OF the trial. Those who
are informed on thes dbject say this

In keeping with the confidence she
placed in Evelyn Nesbit Thaw when
She accepted the young woman as a
daughter-in-lal on the basis that botE
she and her husband intended to turn
over new leaves and live quietly as
husband and wife.
The impression is given that Mrs.
