Mercy and Freth Eggs. At a small post in Egypt Sir Gilbert Parker, the novelist, and an English fllcer lived practically on eggs and tinned meat, and, as there was noth ing else to be had, the eggs Mere a cry Important Item of the dietary. Day after day the eggs, like those of the oft quoted curate, were "very good In parts," but one morning they were frankly bad. The officer, who kad the power of life and death In those parts, determined that the eggs PEACEFUL TABBY, purring upon the hearth, potted and pampered by the whole family, is declared by a government scientist to bo an agent of the most deadly germs, spreading discaso and death anionic those who fon dle her. Investigation has proven that in a cat's sleek soft fur upon which tho baby delights to rub its cheek lurk tho germs of tuberculosis, of smallpox and that deadly dis ease of babies and childhood, diphtheria. "The cat returns to its home thoroughly inoculated. The mother smiles as the baby tumbles about on the floor with Tabby. When the child is stricken, every disease breeding source is considered except the family cat," says Dr. A. K. Fisher, the government expert. Practically the only thing to be feared from a dog is hydrophobia. To this terrible disease, says Dr. Fisher, cats are as susceptible as dogs, though they do not bite people as often, yet cases of hydrophobia from cat bites are not infrequent. The next charge brought against the cat by Dr. Fisher is that it spreads ringworms, a very painful and sometimes dangerous disease. Eats and niice are peculiarly suscep tible to this disease, and it is transmitted from them to cats. The presence of the disease on cats hidden by their fur is not uncommon. It was through the frequent appearance of ringworms on hands of babies that the germ theory was first pursued against the cat. "Recently there has been much attention paid to rats and the harm they do, both as destroyers and as spreaders of disease. In this connection it has been pointed out what a valuable animal the cat is to keep down the rats. That is an error. I can state from my own personal observation that only about five per cent of the cats are mousers. "Little harm woidd be done if the whole cat tribe wfere exterminated, but there would be too much opposition to that. Still we think that when many of the facts con cerning cats have been made public mothers will be more ..i i i.4.;-. !,,,. i,;i,. ,,in,. .:m, ti.i " A NEW ISSUE IN KANSAS.

WAN T DISPLAYS: EXHIBIT CARS Fruit and Vcptablcs of All Kinds Desired, Both for Portland Exhibit and for Great Northern's Exhibit Car to Be Sent Through the West. c-sL M Ty OOR bleeding Kansas is again in the throes of civil -t strife. Kansas has long been known as a banner state for the grand old party, but just now the banner is being rent with internecine strife from the green banks of the Kaw to the prairie dog villages of the Colorado. The issue is the regulars against the progressive repub licans, whatever that inay mean in Kansas. "We have always understood progress in Kansas to mean the legislation of nine-foot sheets on hotel beds, or an embargo against the wearing of hosiery by its legis lators, but Representative Murdock has come back from "Washington and injected a new and burning issue into the seething maelstrom of Kansas politics. Down somewhere in the basement of the White House, hid away in obscure cubbyholes, where no human foot save that of the Kaw representative had trod since the electrician put them in, this vigilant disciple of the hatchet found electric lights, a colored gentleman, so to speak, in the national woodpile. Far be it from a true representa tive of Kansas to overlook any such national extrava gance, and the aforesaid colored gentleman was figura tively seized by the neck and bodily thrust into the alkali politics of Kansas, and upon this momentous issue the G-. O. P. of Kansas is being rent asunder, and the progres sives have conducted a whirlwind and victorious campaign. Hotel Arrivals. At the Nash W. W. Alllnghnm. L.

Cause of the List. When Theodore Roosevelt was pres Ment be told this story on William H. Ttft, who was then secretary of war: "When I started for Panama on the Mtm& warship that Taft had traveled I noticed a slight list to starboard. 1 called the captain in and asked him bow It happened that wo were not run irfng on an even keel. Ho was eome what embarrassed, but I told him to at with it, and ho came back with this: 'Well, Mr. President, the secre tary of war sailed with, us uot long go, and he slept on the port side. And andwell, sir, wo haven't had a chance yet to ahtfjL bollast.' " JBvenif your storo wore, actually, more important that your advertis ing would Jndldcate, the public would ot believe it, T AST month approximately $75,000 was expended by L the city of Medford in public improvements. Nearly all of this expenditure went into sewers, water mains and paving, and was made at the ibstance of the property owners affected thereby. Other cities of the size of Medford have made great flourish of trumpets over the expenditure of a like amount in a year, and while Medford has been doing some point ing with pride to her outlay for civic improvements, the record is one that might well exhaust the vocabulary of an old party resolution committee in the pointing with pride business.

Anthony, regular, mado tho race for renom iiintion against C. II. McNcu), in surgent, indicate that tho progress ives wore victorious. Later returns wore in favor of tho rcgulurs and at 10 o'clock tho nomination was m doubt. Strong Showing Made. Tho first district was supposed to bo strongly regular and tho insurg ents yesterday predicted that tho rogulars would win, Tho strong showing thoy made there has groatly pleased tho insurgent leaders. In the third district, where Con gressman P. P. Campbell sought re nomination nnd was opposed by Ar thur Cranston, insurgent, early re turns showed Campbell winner. La ter returns siiowed insurgent guins. It is estimated that Governor Stubbs' plurality is 20,000. This, tho insurgents suy, represents their lend over the regulars in the state. Tho insurgents hore declare the victory in Kansas is the most dis tinct repudiation of Cnnnonism reg istered in iinv fight in which tho vot ers havo taken part. Shortly bofoio tho primary election Speaker Can non visited Kunsus, speaking for tho regulur candidates. Ho attacked Sonator Bristow, who hud campaign ed for the insurgents. Cannon ulso fired a few hut shots ut Governor Stubbs nnd Congress men Murdock nnd Madison, Stubbs' plurality today, therefore, is highly plousiug to tho insurgents. CIIICO, Cnl., Aug. 3. K. A.
