HILL'S DEPARTMENT STORE ARCADE. J JOYKIX JOV SHOW AT ARCADE "Antic of Ann" and "That Night' Both lllillt for Lnu::'itcr. A rather unique ending has liicn Brranged by Director Edward Dillon for Ann Pennlngtwu In her newest Paramount picture, "The Antics of Ann." This la -a .distinct departure from the conventional ending, which as' a matter of course displays llio hero and heroine In a "fado out" of some romantic love scene. In "The Antics of Ann," the cele brated little dancer "Zlegfold Fol lies" fame is seen at the clone of the film bravely eating biscuits with her (of course) screen husband. She made the biscuits herself, and judg ing from what we have previously seen of the fair heroine, fudge would he distinctly more in her line. ' The story l one of the most spon taneously humorous of any Miss Pen nington has bo far appeared in. - It ta to be shown at the Arcade theatre today and tomorrow. . On this program will see the flrnt of the noweat twe reel comedies that are now made. These are the Mack Bennett-Paramount comedlca and they have been taking the country by Storm not only from the fact that they are funny, but that Mack Sen nett has secured a biinch of girls that one would havo tb look a long time to find nny as easy to look at as his "beauties" are. These comedies will bo shown at the Arcade each Monday and Tues day until further notice. Tho ono that will be shown tonight and to morrow is called "That Night" and it sure was "some" night. Charlie Murray has tho lead but ho Is ahly assisted by Wuylaud Trnak, Mary Thurman and of com iho Bennett Beauties. f Soon Over Ills Cold.

Then, having convinced yourself that it was an accident, how would you feel if an you lay in bed, two more bullets came sniping through the window and bur ied themselves in the headbord of your bed' That was tho reception which awaited young Jerry .Brennon, the cleverest detective on Chief Grady'ti forco, who had put in three ycara of rounding up criminals and unraveling mysteries and whose nerves had suf fered in the process. Jerry did the unexpected, for instead of bom; chnBcd oway by these manifestations, ho went right to work and solved the biggest mystery of them oil, winning a brido as a side issuo, and congratula tions from even his worst enemy.

If Mm. Gladys Guy-Mordcn recovers from wounds inflicted by Clarence Guy last Friday afternoon, it will be short of miraculous. While she was reported to be im proved, generally speaking, Dr. E. II. Cntril, the attending physician, snid that tfio has so many difficulties ahead that it cannot bo said with any degree of certainty what tho outcome will be. She was shot through the liver and stomnch and may suffer any one of several troubles, such as peri tonitis. Mrs. Guy-Mordcn was tho victim of a triangle tragedy, being married to R. A. Mordon, as well as to Guy. The latter shot her because she refused to leave Morden. Quick Deliveries nro a feature of this jumoer business.

A well-dressed, genial looking man clean shaved, with a' bright, alert eye, walked Into the Observer office this morning accbinpanled by Colon j R. Eberhard. He proved to be Dr. J. E. Ander son, candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor, Dr. Anderson hails from The Dalles. He Is the father of tho pres ent dry law in Oregon and has been an active and efficient member of the legislature. Dr. Anderson is making no big boasts about his candidacy, but ho Is organizing it thoroughly and he ex pects to get nominated.

Dr. Anderson expects to make a speak ing campaign through the state and enpects to include Union county on his itinerary. . . Candidate for Governor. Secretary of State Den W. Olcott has announcd his candidacy for gov ernor. He announces that If nomi nated and elected he fwlll resign as Secretary of State, thus permitting Governor Withycombo to appoint his successor. He will run on an econ omy and efficiency platform. Mr. Olcott saysi "The state Is similar to a largo business corporation. It Is the poo- pie's corporation.

As governor I would expect to be the business head of tho great corpora tion of the people and would apply my energies to mako a suecc3S of the business. Because all state business flows 1 through the office of secretary ol i state no office affords such Intimate : knowledge of state affairs as does ! It. This office I have held for the j last seven years. The knowledge ; nnd experience thus gained will be I of Immense valuo to a chief execu tive. Added to this is my famil iarity with state institutions and act ivities gained as a mombcr of the Board of Control. "Tho people of Oregon havo em phatically voiced their sentiment In favor of prohibition, and If I am elected govornor I shall consider It ! my duty to use the power of that 1 office to see that tho laws are en forced. And If, while I am govorn or, tho "dry" amendment to the fed eral constitution, providing for na tional prohibition, is submitted to tho stntes for ratification I shall givo It my endorsement nnd urge its speedy npprovol by the Oregon legis lature. Likewise, should the nation- ; nl womans' suffrage amendment ' pass Congress, as it now appears It j will, I shall give It similar endorse- j ment. j "As the proper performance of my ; duties as secretary of state requires j my undivided personal nttentlon, I . shall spend no time campaigning ! over the state. Tho peoplo of tho state are paying me a salary to look ; after their business, and I cannot j properly do this when away from the ; office." . ! R. N.
