Of all the cares I have had, however, my experience is that the disease Is very mild, and of short duration. It Is similar to Influenza,- which may at tack various parts of the human sys tem, more commonly the respiratory organs. "I am In favor of taking the mat ter up with the medical society. It Is a question the members should dis cuss. We could learn each other's experiences with It and probably de termine something for our own satis faction." ' Five to Fifteen Hiimtrrd Fcolo Are Affected. Spokane is suffering from a new disease which is a puzzle to local physicians, says the Review. The number' of persons who are now or have been afflicted Is estimated to be from BOO to 1500. It attacks men, women and children alike. Severe frontal headaches and se vere abdominal pains, together with a nauseating sensation, are the symp toms. It was at first believed by a number of the physicians that the disease was caused by the city's wa ter supply. Reports from the coun try adjacent to Spokane telling ofhe same epidemic have had a tendency to discount the belief, although the ni...ii.lan. matt tht n-ntpr aunnlv from the Spokane river Is liable to cause any kind of disease. The malady, al though weakening, Is "never fatal. Dr. N. M. Raker, a member of the board of health, believes the disease may be caused by something In the atmosphere. In spenklng of the subject he said; "If the disease from which so many Spokane people have been suffering in the Inst few weeks is not fromthe water which people are using it may be from atmospheric conditions. I am rather Inclined to believe that the water Is not the cause of the epldem , ic. I have had several cases of the same nature reported to me from the country districts.- While I did not ee the patients, the members of the families whom whom th patients come describe the symptoms aa Idsn- iivjiii . . to contend in the city. "The supply, however, Is In such condition that 1 believe every one should boll the water before using. I do It In my own family and I be lieve every other physician does. "The symptoms of the disease now. prevalent are' frontal headache and severe abdominal pains, and In most " " .fmkt SAGACITY.' ' The Instinct That Leads the Ostrich to Protsot Its Eggs. The nature students everybody la a nature student nowadays were trying to outdo one another. "Eagles when the sun Is overhot shade tbelr young with, outspread wings," said the first. "On August aft ernoons I have seen a mother eagle stand patiently two full hours, ber left wing spread like an umbrella, while In Its cool shade ber nestlings slept" "Squirrels," said the second, ' "can tell whether a nut Is good or bad with out opening It A chestnut, a walnut shellbark. they lift It In tbelr little paws, hold It to their faces a moment then If It Is bad cast It aside. How do they tell? By the weight, by the sound? I Incline to think they do It by the smell." "Ostriches never slf sold the third. "They lay their eggs on the pale Sa hnreo sands, and the snn does the rest. Bnt before the ostriches depart from their eggs they place on the top of each a pinch of sand, for they know that the gertn will mount to the top and that the sun's beat would kill the germ were It not protected." "A trained elephant," said the fourth student "danced very badly ot a tnntl nee performance and was accordingly beaten cruelly by Its master. That night bearing a shuffling .noise out side, the master crept forth, and there In the moonlight be found the elephant carefully practicing Its dance steps."

The girl withdrew ber woolen glove and bashfully extended ber small baud, red and toll worn, toward the clerk. "Tbere, that's about the size," said the jeweler to the girl.

The Kansas City Star tenders the following interesting analysis of that ever interesting topic, the $29,400, 000' fine imposed upon the Standard On company, sowink that the fine only equals two-thirds of the profits P( the business for one year any one year out of the past Id years: Fifteen men or estates own more than 90 per cent of the Standard OH company of New Jersey. These In dividuals and estates have received In the last 10 years dividends aggre gating S64 million dollars, or an av erage yearly dividend on Standard Oil stock In the last 10 years was $40.40 a share, so the entire dividends on the 'authorized capitalization of 100 mlllln dollars for the 10 years ending December SI, 1907, will have reached 404 billion dollars, of which all except $39,996,000 has been or will be credited to the 15 Individuals or estates In question. The following table gives the hold ings of the leading shareholders, based on the capitalization of 70 million dollars previous to the formation of the' Standard Oil company of New Jersey, the dividends received each year by each on an authorized capi tal stock of 100 million dollars.

It will be observed from the above table that J. D. Rockefeller owned 27.4 per cent of the capital stock of the Standard Oil company and that apparently he has received an average of more than 11 million dollars a year on the shares In the last 10 years. It has been said that Mr. Rockefeller has largely Increased his holdings since then; but no con firmation of this statement has been obtained. The Standard Oil company pays more to its shareholders than any other corporation In existence. Its disbursements of 40 million dollars a year exceed the present dividend payments of the United States Steel corporation more than 4 1-2 million dollars a year-. However, an Increase of 1 per cent a year In the dividends of the United States Steel common would make the dividends of the steel corporation larger than those of the Standard OH company. NEAR THE .FROST MARK. Tenix-rattire In Eastern Oregon Mornings Last Week. The opening and closing days of the week were clear and sunshiny, but from Wednesday until Sunday morn ing the weather was showery and al though the total amount of rainfall was light, there were some localities where the fall was unusually heavy for the season of the year. The rains cleared the atmosphere of smoke and wet the soil sufficiently to lay the dust. The .temperatures averaged eight degrees lower than during the preceding week and the coolness was most pronounced during the cloudy afternoons. In the eastern counties the temperatures on one or two mornings were dangerously near the frost mark, but no frosts were report ed. The sunshine was greatly defi cient Columbia River Valley.

While tbe re ports reaching here are not for a bumper crop, we Judge the average one will be harvested, and the result will total between 20 and 25 bushels to the acre. Owing to the difference between the fall and the spring sown grain It Is hard to find the conditions of the crops, but we should judge there will be little smut, although In some localities there will be consider able foul grain. e Hardly any grain has been contracted, but warehouse men look for the crops to move rap idly, as the present high price will tempt the average man to dispose of his grain, rather than chance a higher figure later. No grain has been hauled in aa yet, .but the tehreshers are busy, and for the next few weeks It will be work night and day till the crop la safely shedded. We hear that Henry Mun steTman began threshing on his place Tuesday and it Is not expected that: the machines will stop except for bad weather. Kendrick Gazette.
