Establishment of a card system is suggested In the proposed amendment as a substlute for registration books, the plan being to kej a record of each voter on a separate card, the cards of each precinct to be combined In a box of specified size. -Life Standing Allowed. One moVe. registration la called for In the bill, after which voters may re tain their standing for life without registration, so long as they do not fall to vote at two general elections. In the event of a change of resi dence it is provided that the voter Has merely to notify the Clerk's of fice of the change In order to have his card changed to the case belong ing to the new precinct of residence.

Cards thus in Jeopardy are to be held four years, it is provided and then destroyed.,' The bill also provides that regis trations may be made at all times ex cepting 15 days immediately preced ing an election, that period being re quired for getting the precinct sets in proper alphabetical order. It like wise Is provided thai registration can be taken by Justices of the peace and notaries public, two witnesses being required In such a procedure. A prescribed form of registration blank is called for In all cases. Should A r t tmnrf rf Ing to the county seat It Is necessary only to hunt up a notary who has some blanks. The elector need not pay the bill of the notary, either, pro vision being made for the payment by- the state to the notary or Justice of the Peace of 15 cents for each regis tration. Much Inconvenience Saved. This method, it is urged, will save thousands of jjer.sons much inconven ience, especially voters living: at a considerable distance from the county seat. Voters residing inside the lim its of a county seat are required to appear In person before the County Clerk to register. Precaution are taken In the work ing out of the details of the bill to exclude any possibility of a flaw which might result in unlawful regis tration. 5trlct requirements are placed upon election ' clerks and Judges In the handling" and checking up of the registration cards at the polls. For wilful omission of any of the prescribed duties of Judges, a se vere penalty ia prescribed, the offense being classed as a felony with a pen alty of from one to three years in the penitentiary or a fine of from $100 to $2000 or both such fine and impris onment. Mr. Fields said yesterday, In dls cussing the bill, that he already had had assurance of hearty co-operation from several legislators. Aside from the simplification of the registration iprocesses. he points out that the new arrangement would save the counties and voters large sums. He estimates that on an average, It costs each voter 10 cents transportation to go to the registration books, as at present con ducted, which means an outlay of more than $2000 from the voters' pockets each time that registration Is required. 0n0DY SPARED.

HYDROPHOBIA DESCRIBED WHAT IT IS, ITS SYMPTOMS AXD PREVEXTIOSS. Interesting Portrayal of the Dreaded Disease now In Wallowa County. The following description of hydro phobia, how infection ls carried, symptoms and treatment, was pre pared by Dr. E. T. Baker, assistant state .veterinarian of Washington, and aptpeared In the News-Record. .What Hydrophobia is. ' Definition: Hydrophobia is an ex tremely infectious disease of man and not known, but the virus has been demon strated to be found in the saliva principally as well as in other se cretions, of affected animals. ' ' Animals affected: Man, dogs, hors es, cats, cattle, sheep, bogs, poultry, all domesticated animals; wild an imals as coyote, skunk, badger, wolves. Rabbits are very suscepti ble and are used in making a positive diagnosis. In this particular out break dogs and coyotes seem to be the principal carriers of the infection. How carried: From one animal to another by biting. Period of Inciihntlon: M n from a week to ten months. Usual period is about three and siXv weeks. For instance, if a dog is bitten by a rabid coyote, in from three to six weeks the dog goes mad, and he in turn. Inoculates others, if not prompt ly restrained and destroyed. Symptoms: Have three stages of disease: (1) Premonitory, or when ' first symptoms were noted, as a desire to lick or eat cold smooth things, as Btoncs; there may be , an increased fondness for owner (this is partlcu larly dangerous where children are owners of pet dogs),: becoming mo rose, retiring, sneaking; finally the dog disappears, if not tied, and may return home In a few days, when the disease assumes the (2) Second Stage, which may be either (a) Furious rabies most common and most easily recognized. The dog froths at. the mouth, has a tendency to bite everything; a wild look In eye; haggard, emanciated appearance of body, drooling at mouth and hoarse, guttural bark or whine. The affec tlonate, well-trained animal becomes a wild, maniacal, snarling, biting , creature. This form is assumed when the -brain is first affected (b) Dumb rabies when" spinal cord Is first affected. The lower Jaw hangs paralyzed; he tries to move, but sinks down on his side; throat is contracted; tongue Is a livid hue; and the animal is a pitiful object, yet his saliva is as dangerous as in the fur ious form. (3) Third stage! Paralytic or last period. The animal shows a paraly sis of hind quarters, sways when try ing to walk; the lower Jaw relaxes completely; the palsy gradually ex tends over the entire body, and finally death ensues In a day or two. Us ually inside of ten days from the time the dag is noticed to be acting "queer" he is dead. Rabid coyotes lose their natural shyness, enter towns, bite man or an imals, and die in an unconscious, par alyzed condition, unless killed. Cats usually disappear and die in a short time. Rabid horses kick, bite strike, lose appetite, tear stalls to pieces, dying In four or five days after first symp tom noted. Rabid cattle lose appetite, show great excitement, bellow loudly, paw the ground, hook and try to bite ev erything. Death ensues in from four to seven days. Rabid sheep and goats present chout same symptoms as cattle. Rabid swine show great fear, rest lessness, hide In litter of straw, grunt hoarsely, glaring eyes, labored breathing. Post Mortem Findings: None. Stomach may be full of stones, sticks, rtc. Treatment: Prevention. Especial ly quarantining dogs. If unfortunate ly a person is bitten by a suspicious acting animal, imemdlately cauterize wound with a hot Iron, tarbollc acid, nitric acid or caustic potash. If pos sible, suck the wound, if the bite Is cn a limb, applv a handkerchief or scut cord as a tourniquet above wound. Send for a physician. 1 .

Pro crastination Is a thief, they say, so get up on the bend wagon all ye that are weary and are heavy laden. It Is better to have lost and loved, than never to have lost before, ain't It? At the Isis. The Mexican Centennial Celebration e Selig special picture at the Isis last night attracted considerable at tention from the fact that the princi pals of the picture, President Diar. and staff have been before the eyes of the world of late In the civil war going on in Mexico. The picture starts with the unveiling of a statue then follows the great civic parade In which can be seen the emblazoueJ carriages of the officials of state and all types of Mexicans from the pure Castillan to the YaquI Indian and all kinds of carriage from the fancy kinds of carriages from the fancy Grande hose cart. The picture ends with the laying of a corner stone of a great institution, in which Presi dent ; Diaz officiates, and in which many American faces can be seen. The Adoption, a tale of the hills in which a prospector trades a rich min ing claim for a four-year-old boy, and the association of the two brings out the paternal inst'rfct of the man that Is good to see. Love at First Sight a comical picture which starts at a fraternity house at college where a live student advertises for a. wife and his advertisement is answered by a co-ed of another town. The wedding occurs of course in true impulsive school boy fashion. At the Orpheum. The Orpheum had a crowded house again Tuesday evening. Young and Manning continue to foe the favorites In their act, A Coon's Temptation. The cock fight is well worth seeing. The minute the roosters are dumped out of the sack they go at it hammer and tongs, and the feathers fly for a few minutes. Tot Young in his ban Jo playing and Miss Manning in her clever singing makes a fitting climax to this act Hashimoto, the clever Jap anese water Juggler and roller skater is also a general favorite, and his Juggling stunts while circling the stage on the slippery rollers shows much training and practice. Cecil Gordon and company In the original Brinkley girl gets off a lot of hits that are new and right up to the min ute. Get the Genuine Always.
