EIGHT PAGES. , DAILY EAST OREfJONHN. PENDLETON, OREGON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 4, 1908. PICE THREE, m mi OREGON'S M FIRST PRIMARIES EVER HELD IN STATE IN PROGRESS. llqmbllcans Will Decide Who Is to lie Next State Senator Legislature Will Be Instructed an o Whom the People Want Full State Ticket Will lie Named. Topeka, Kan., Aug. 4. Whether Chester I. Long of Medicine Lodge, senior United States senator from Kansas, will be returned, or will be succeeded by Joseph L. Brlstow of Sallna, country editor, former fourth asHlstant postmaster general and foe of railroad and corporation domin ance In political affairs, will be de cided by a primary 'today In which the republican voters of Kansas are . expressing their sovereign will. This Is the first primary election ever hold In Kansas. Democrats, Prohibitionists and So cialists are also taking part In to day's primary, and all parties will nominate, In addition to senatorial candidates, a full state ticket, Includ ing governor, Justice of the supreme court, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, auditor, treasurer, attorney ffunnrtil sunnrintpnrtnnt nf 'nubile In struction, superintendent of Insur ance, state printer, railroad commls sinner and presidential electors. The various districts will nominate con gressional candidates. Hugh H. Farrelly of Chanute will be given the democratic nomination for United States senator; but the democrats have little hope of vic tory, and the choice apparently lies between Long and Brlstow, the re publican aspirants. Cyrus Leland, Jr.. of Troy and W. R. Stubbs of Lawrence are the O. O. p. contestants for the gubernatorial nomination. W. H. Ryan of Glrard, Jeremiah D. Botkln of Wlnwleld and Russell J. Harrison of Selden are each seeking to head, the democratic state ticket. George F. Hlbner 'of Concordia Is unopposed to the So cialist gubernatorial nominee, while Alfred Hope of Abilene Is hopeful of securing the empty honor of prohibi tion nominee for governor of a pro hibition state. The Long-Brlstow senatorial fight Is the center of Interest In today's primary, since It affords the voters their first opportunity to select a senator. The progressive element which answers the question, "What's the matter with Kansas?" with the succinct statement "Chester I. Long" Is confident of a Brlstow victory Evidence Is not lacking, in (he shape of enthusiastic messages presaging Victory from Brlstow men all over the state, thatthelr hope It well founded. if L,ong Is defeated, how ever, he will have gone down fight ing, for his supporters have waged political warfare In his behalf that has seldom been surpassed In the his tory of the "bleeding" state. The fight on Long has been made on the allegation that he Is a "rail road senator" and that he belongs to that corporation-controlled clique of the senate which also Includes Al drlch, Allison, Elklns. Hopkins and Penrose. Whether or not these charges are true and It Is alleged that Long has been even less astute In "hiding the shells" than his democratic col league of a neighboring state, Stone of Missouri, who Is also fighting for his political life Long has admit tedly played the political game for all there Is In It. Considerable fortunes such as that possessed by Long, It Is declared, do not "Just happen." Long's Machine, Long began his political career twenty-three years ago, at the age of 25. He built up a district machine which was a Beven-year wonder and which enabled him In 1892 to beat Congressman Jerry Simpson, the gift ed leader of the then triumphant but now moribund populist movement. In 18Sf Simpson defeated him, but two years later Long was again suc cessful, and the sockless statesman retired from the political arena. In 1903 Long was promoted to a seat In the senate, where he has but Indif ferently represented the progressive spirit of the Sunflower state. Joseph Brlstow, the candidate of the reform element of the republican party of Kansas, Is a newspaper man by profession, although he has held political offices and has for years been a force In Kansas republicanism. He belongs to that famous body of Sunflower Journalists which Includes In Its ranks William Allen White of the Emporia Gazette, "Billy" Morgan of the Hutchinson News, Ed. Howe of the Atchison Globe and Congress man Anthony of tho Leavenworth Times. . As fourth assistant postmaster gen eral Brlstow made an enviable rec ord, ferreting out many sources of graft and corruption In the national postal department and exposing the malefactors to punishment. Ho also acquired considerable fame as an In vestigator of affairs In Panama. In state affairs he has always consls. tently opposed railroad domination and has been one of the principal foes of the lobbyists. All In a,U, . today's contest for the toga Is an Interesting one, and the result will be awaited with Interest throughout the nation.

Women and children are more apt to suffer from souinuiubullsm than men, possibly because their brain Is more delicately poised and therefore more easily Influenced by dreams. A som nambulist nearly always walks with bis eyes wide open, the pupils being much dilated, ne Is a dreamer able to act his dreams, and In this state the timid become fearless, tbe weak strong and tbe stupid brilliant Their som nambulistic condition presents many curious anomalies. Tbe somnambulist's sense of hearing Is not often suspend ed, for, generally speaking, be will an swer questions even If whispered, bnt often tbe same ear Is deaf to loud noises. Tbe sense of smell Is frequent ly altered. Brimstone and phosphorus are said to be pleasant scents to tbe somnambulist, and many cannot tell wine from water, as the sense of taste becomes perverted or entirely suspend ed. Some people walk periodically In their sleep, while others do It spasmod ically. One German doctor goes to the extreme of asserting tbat somnam bulists are attracted by tbe moon, and thus tbey walk on roofs of houses and at great heights because they derive a peculiar pleasure from contemplating tbe moon. f A TinyDeath Dealer. A most agonizing death Is caused by an Insect half tbe size of a pea a small black spider. It lives In Peru. In South America, but a few speci mens have reached Europe In ship loads of timber. Not long ago a dock laborer was unlucky enough to come opoq one In the Victoria docks while unloading a bark. Tbe tiny death deal er dropped upon the back of his band and dug Its fangs Into bis flesh. Tbe bite Itself was nothing, but as soon as the poison began to work tbe man fainted with pain. Soon afterward be came to and lived three days before the end came. This spider's venom scorches np the blood vessels and spreads through all the tissues, caus ing tbe most fearful agony a bumau being can have to bear. The worst of It Is that tbe victim lives at least two days, enduring unthinkable anguish the whole time. This spider Is luckily not common. It Is known as tbe "specky," and when a man who knows wnat tbe bite means Is bitten be gen erally blows ont his brains. London Chronicle. Extreme Obedienee. The Youngs had unexpectedly drop ped In on the Baileys Just as dinner wis about to be served. vThe hostess, considerably disturbed, called ber little daughter Helen aside and explained that there would not be enough oysters to go around and .added, "Now, yon and I will Just have some of tbe broth, and please do not make any fuss about It at the table." Little Helen promised to remember and say nothing. But when the oys ters were served Helen discovered a small oyster la ber plate which bad ac cidentally been ladled up with the broth. This pawled tbe little girl, as he could not recall any Instructions covering this contingency. After studying a few moments she dipped tbe oyster up with ber spoon and, hold ing It up as blgb as she could, piped out, "Mamma, mamma, shouldn't Mrs. lonng have this oyster too7"-brls-tlan Register. Countess Hartford's Bell. Edward Seymour, earl of Hertford, in the days of Queen Elisabeth married as his third wife a beautiful young widow who bad been engaged to Sir George Rodney, bnt whom she Jilted for Lord Hertford. Sir George Rodney traveled to Amesbury and, putting up at the Inn, awaited tbe bosirecomlng of tbe earl and countess, who were ex pected to arrive tbe next day. Tbe In fatuated man wrote a dying ode to bis fickle love, using bis blood as Ink, and upon tbe arrival of tbe bridal party he went out to meet tbem. Lady Hert ford was agitated and terrified at tbe appearance of her old lover, and be fore Sir George could be prevented be drew bis sword and, falling on It, ex pired at Lady Hertford's feet Tbe countess presented a bell to Amesbury church perhaps as a slight penance for ber fickleness. The inscription runs: Ba strong In faythe, prayes God well, Frances, Countess Hertford's beiU 8tars That Outshine the Sun. One of the government astronomers, referring to stars tbat are so distant that they have no measurable parallax, asserts that one of these, tbe brilliant Canopus, can be said with confidence to be thousands of times brighter than our Bun. Whether we should say 20,- 000, 10,000 or 5,000 no one can decide. Tho first magultude stars, Rlgel and Spcca, also aro at an Immeasurable distance and must, In view of tbelr ac tual brightness, enormously outshine the sun. The 'Anged and Un'anged. An American actor was once seeing London from tbe top of a bus. As tbey swung down the Strand be asked tbe driver to point out the places of Interest "Right you are, slrl" agreed tbe driver, touching bis bat "There's Lngglt 'ill, where they ang 'em." A little later, "There's parllment 'ouses, where they make the laws wot does It, across tbe way. An' there's Westmin ster babbey, where they burled tbe good 'una wot didn't get 'anged!" His Only Chance. 'Why did yon shake your fist at tbe speaker?' "Well." replied tbe congressman, "I didn't want the whole session to slip by without my having made a motion of some kInd."-Fhiladelphla Ledger.

Federal Statute Prescribes Trousers as Part of Mail Deliverer's Uniform, j Acting Postmaster General Grand field has decided that a woman can not be a mall carrlerer without mak-! ing It decidedly embarrassing for her and causing her to lose her w'ontanly modesty and Incidentally her skirts, says a Washington special. At Idaho Falls, Idaho, an examina tion 'was recently held to obtain a car rier for the Installation of city free delivery and the civil service com mission certified the name of a young woman to the department. The ques tion arose as to whether a woman was eligible for appointment. There did not appear to be any le gal reason to Interfere and the young woman In question was on the point of receiving the Job when there was discovered a statute In large bold type which stated that carriers were to wear trousers. The description of the postal service uniform had been fixed In detail by a former postmaster general as follows: FOR WINTER. WEAR. Trousers Of same material and color as coat (bluish mixed cadet flannel or a heavy bluish gray wor sted or serge), with fine broadcloth piping one-foiirth Inch wide down the outside seam. Side and two hip pock ets to be made of strong durable ma terials. FOR SUMMER WEAR. Trousers Of same material as coat, with black cloth cord one-fourth Inch wide down the outside seam. Side and two hip pockets to be made of strong, durable material. When this diseovery was made It was decided to ask the civil service commission to hold another examina tion. Acting Postmaster General Grandfleld's native modesty compell ing him to abstain from asking the young woman who was eligible wheth er If appointed she would comply with the law and regulations regard ing dress. It has been suggested that the young woman might wear a direc tolre skirt of light material over the regulation trousers.

Women as Well as Men Are Nadu miserable by Kidney and " Bladder Mle. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages and lessensambition; beauty, vigor ana cheerful ness soon disappear when the kidneys sre out of order or dis eased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncom mon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the child urinates too often , if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it, thecause of thediffi Culty is kidney trouble, atil the first' step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a babit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are,made miser able with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
