The iusistenca Of Rev. A. G.. Dixon
Of the Moody church that Prof Fos-

around to himself the real object of
the meeting being disregarded for a
time Rev Dr. u. McLaurin started
the trouble by asking for a commits
sion to investigate Dr. Dixon right

This motion was hissed down aud
Dr.. Dixon explained that he joined
the Baptist church in New York,
DR.. NJ. P Boynton came in for a
kissing when he said;
I'VE are not going at this matter
right. Foster is as good a minister
as anyone here" His voice was
drowned.
Then some of the ministers tried
TO check the kissing. Mr.. Myers
shouted above the noise:
"lt is no worse to him than to
have those present denounced as Dr,

not be stopped unless DR. Boynton is

During the excitement, motions,
countermotiOns and a general parlia-

hours, however. worn out by eXer-

adopted the motion dropping Prof.
Foster from the conference. The
conference has not the power to ex-

ONE MILLION SCHOOL CHILDREN
What the Present Scholastic Census
Of Texas VIII Show.

Austin Texas, June 22.- From the
present indications. and from re-
ports received in the state depart
menJ OF education. it is estimated
that the total number Of school chill
dyen. or rather children Within the
scholastic age. will reach easily -
OOO, 600 or more. one million school
children for Texas is not considered
so bad, but then In order to reach
that number it will not be necessary
that the increase be so very marked
for the scholastic year Of 1909-I0.
! the census Of which is now being re-
ceiyed in the state department Of
education
The census takers all over the
state were businly engaged in taking
the scholastic census during the
month Of May as is required by law,
and this task completed short time
ago, is just now being completed and
the data compiled and filed with the
educational department Before the
expiration Of this month school
boards are required to send in their
reports on the census to the depart
ment OF education, so that the de-
partment can compile the statistics
for the annual report Of the depart
ment and also for the information
of the state board Of education in
making the annual apportonment
As stated above, the increase this
year in scholastics would not have
to be so marked, in order 20 reach
scholastic year Of 190S-9 which
brings it up to September /, 1908,
the total number OF schOlastics was
914.62S, while for the scholastic
year Of l907-S the total number was
S93,441 and for the year 1867, the
total number was SEQ .S61, this shows
gradual increase from year to year
so as to assure the increase to a mil.
lion by the time the department fig.
lures out the census from all ovel
the state.
These 914,62S school children in
Texas are also receiving more pen
capita than they have ever before
received the amount being S6.7'
per capita, but there is some grave
doubt whether they will get tha'
amount or the next fiscal year as il
Is not believed that there will be
such marked Increase ia valuation
as was noted for the past year anC
then again, it is more than likely
that the ad valorem tax rate which
\ is now Ga cents will be increased
\ although the governor does not like
l TO think of such thing The increas,
\ in the tax rate Il not followed by

HAVE TRIPLE WEDDING
Three Children of Mr.. and Mrs. r. L.
Dashiel Are Married On New
Years Eve.

A triple wedding ceremony was SOL
emnized at Cedonia, Washington, on
New Years eve, three of the parties in
the ceremony being from the same
family, two sons and a daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. r. L. Dashiel of this
city. The three couples we're George

merly of Waverly; Robert Dashiel

donia church and an elaborate New
Years banquet was served at the
Dashiel residence to the invited
friends and relatives.
George and Robert Dashiel left

have for some time been ranching
near Cedonia. Miss Clara Dashiel
was born and educated in Dallas. In
her graduating year from the Dallas

Play In Salem Tonight.

The Dallas College basketball team
will go to Salem today to play its first
League game against the team of
Willamette University. Dallas now
stands second in the Oregon League
and Willamette University sixth, but
owing to the new lineup in the Dallas
five, Manager VanOrsdel expects to
have hard rub in tonights' game to
maintain his aggregation in its pres
ent standing. Thus far the various
teams are running close to their stand
ing in the league and it looks as
though the award Of the pennant
might fall to any Of them. Multnomah
Athletic Club still holds first place,
but the loss of Of one single game on
the part of the clubmen would alter the
whole aspect Of the contest.

MYSTIFIES HIS AUDIENCE
Karl German Appears In Dallas In
Marvellous Exhibitions of
Magical Work.

Kari German, the magician who
appeared at the Woodman Hall, We'd
nesday night under the auspices Of
Dallas College, gave an entertain
ment whose merits far surpassed the
expectations of those in the large
audience which had assembled to
witness his performance.
AS a slight-of-hand performer, Mr.
German stands in class alone. His
feats in this line of work were a
source Of delight and bewilderment
to his audience. Starting, as he
remarked, with a small bit of
nothing" he seemed to be able to pro-
duce anything from silk Handkerchief
to complete service, managing his
tricks with such perfection as to make
the changes impossible of detection
and producing a series of the cleverest
and most beautiful illusions imagin-
able.
His manner on the stage is extremely
suave and pleasing, his graceful ges-
turing in the performance of his tricks
being accompanied by a flow of witty
and entertaining conversation.
The German entertainment is by
far the best that has been produced in
the Lyceum course of entertainments
in this city and Dallas College, under
whose auspices it was given is to be
congratulated on having been able to
secure a visit from one who stands
foremost in the ranks of the magicians
and sleight of hand performers before
the public today.

LAND REDWING'S SCALP
Oregons Win More Victories Defeat
Old-Time Opponents By Decisive
Scores.

The Oregons are now playing in
one of the strongest basketball sections
OF the United States and, with the
exception of its recent reverses at
Minneapolis and Saltwater has been
carrying everything before it.
No report has been received of any
game played Monday night and it is
understood that The Oregons and the
team in Hudson were unable to meet
on that date.
Tuesday and Wednesday night the
Oregon boys were matched against
the famous Redwing five whom they
defeated by a narrow margin in
Dallas two years ago, while the Red
wings were en- tour Of the Pacific Coast.
The scores Of the two recent games
indicate that Redwing has either
weakened since the time of it's tour, or
Dallas has gained enormously in
strength, for in both games the latter
were victorious by exceedingly high
scores considering the mettIe of the
two contesting aggregatlons. The
score Tuesday night was 90 to 16 10
favor of The Oregons, and on Wednes-
day night 81 to 8. Both games were
rough but the best feeling existed be-
tween the opposing teams.
The boys report that as they pro-
gress eastward they are able to
observe less and less of the swift
snappy team work which chara cterizes
basketball of the Pacific Coast, and
more and more reliance, on the part
Of their opponents, upon weight,
strength and the individual brilliancy
OF their players to carry the game.
This characteristic Of the Eastern
play results in much harder and
rougher contests than the open system
and short passing employed by
Westerners.
Although the scores in the games at
Minneapolis and Saltwater materially
reduce the score, the total number of
points still shows that The Oregons
are maintaining an enormous lead
over their opponents. The total of the
scores Of game up to and including
Wednesday night is as follows:

NEW PACT MAY END
HATTERo' STRIKE
Manufacturers Working on
Commons Sense Principles
to Restore Peace.

Ignoring everything but their W
business interests. the hat manufac-
turers are trying today to evolve some
way to settle the present difficulties on
comnlon-sefise principles. According to
the manufacturers, they are doing this
at the request of the union men,, and 1t
is understood that arbitration Will be
the ruling element in the proposed new
agreement.
After efforts on the part of Governor
Fort and other agencies that have tried
to settle the matter. the attitude as
surned is that the affair has become, as
1t were, a family quarrel to be settled
by the bosses and the men as best they
may.
The new agreement. as far as can be
ascertained. will give the union the use
of the label and the bosses greater con-
troll over their shops. These two points
ave been the main bones of contention
during the strike. The problem is to be
handled along the lines that solved the
printers trouble of some time ago. If a
buyer desires tho union label on his
goods, the new agreement. 1t is ex-
pected, will state that he nay have it;
if the buyer does not signify whether
he wishes the label, or If he distinctly
say he does not want the label then
he shall not receive the label on his
goods. The manufacturers hin that
this will eventually mean a practical
resumption Of the union label. but, pro-
viding they are given greater freedom
in the management of their business,
there will be no objection to the hange
