I hereby announce myself as a can didate for County Judge on the Dem oofctic ticket before the primaries May 15th. J. J. STANLEY, Coquille, Ore. To give Oregon a state commission form of government was the object of a meeting held at Portland jast week. The meeting decided to. pre sent the proposition to the Wotfefs through an initiative measure and to educate the people by holding meet ings in tho halls of the Grange, la bor and other organizations. The intention is to abolish the state sen ate and house and to place the man agement of tho state in the hands of the Governor, Secretary of State, Treasurer and nine Commissioners, the latter to be elected from districts The districts are tentatively as fol lows: First district, west of the Cascades, exelisive of Multnomah county, four commissioners; second district, east of tho Cascades, two commissioners; third district, Mult nomah county, three commissioners. BOTH WERE DRAMATICA A Story of Frederick the Great and One of Hit Officers. Frederick Ujo (Irent had a strong Konso of tho dramatic. So hnd a cer tnln lieutenant colonel tn tho Prussian army. Accordingly tliero is plenty of "plot" in tho following story: Tho oincer, who hnd been discharged at tho close of tho Sovcu Years' war, importuned tho king to bo reinstated. Weary of tlio lucussunt solicitations of his troublesomo visitor, Frederick at lust gave orders tbnt ho should nuvor be admitted to his presence. Some weeks later n most bitter libel against his majesty appeared. Fred crick seldom gave himself uuy concern about such pasquinades, but the pres ent ono exasperated him so much that lie offered a reward of CO frledrichs of gold for tho discovery of tho author. The day following tho disgraced lieutenant colonel demanded and ob tained an audience. "Sire," he began, on being admitted, "your mujesty has Just promised CO frledrichs for the discovery of tho au thor of a recent publication. I am come to claim the recompense. Behold In mo tho unfortunate llbcler. My Ufa I forfeit freely, but remember your royal pledge and, while you punish me, send to my poor wife und children tho rewnrd duo to tho Informed" The king, although struck wlUi tho sad extremity and self sucrlfico of tho ofllccr, said sternly: "Go instantly to the fortress of Span dau and there nwnlt my Judgment" "I obey," said tho culprit: "but tho money?" "Within two hours your wife shall receive it," said tho king. "Take Uils letter and give it to tho commandant, but ho must not open It until after din ner." Tho lieutenant colonel arrived at Spandau and gave himself up as n prisoner. At the prescribed mjent tho commandant opened the roynun- date. It ran: To tho bearer I rIvo tho command ot Spandau. I Bhall bo with him In a row days. Tho present governor Is to tako tho command of Berlin as a roward for past services. FREDERICK. Youth's Companion. DISEASE GERMS STICK. What Team Work Will Do Themi faorura don't get anywhere because they are PULLING AUAINHT ACU OTHER. Hitafced together is a team they could pull a load bigger than themselves. it 1m the Mune way with men. Pulling against each other they get nowhere. Pulling together they accomplish wonders. Tho oaly way to, make town advance Is BY TEAM WORK. The last census shows that many American clUea and villain nrtmn marrnloualy, others almost atood ntllt. while others actually witnt backward.

Even harse sens ought to teach mea the advantage of pulling together. Hence It Is Almost Impossible to Have Really Clean Hands. That tho slovenly habits or ill health of tho cooks and wnltors who Borvo us In dining cars, hotels, restaurants and our own homes may bo an even great er menace to our health than defective plumbing Ih the fact brought out by some Interesting Investigations made by Surgeon Cummins of the British army. It used to be thought that If our serv ants' hands and our own were wash ed with reasonable frequency we were safe, but Dr. Cummins shows that even the most scrupulous cleansing will not relieve hands that have been in contact with disease germs from the liability of infecting others. In short. Dr. Cum mins declares that so long os we live in this world of dirt and microbes our hands can never be really clean. To prove his contention Dr. Cummins dipped the tip of his forefinger In a liquid containing millions of typhoid bacilli. The linger was next rinsed In an antiseptic solution, men in very cold water and then In water that was almost boiling. After all this cleansing It was washed In a small quantity of sterile water This water when ana lyzed showed no less than U13 colonies f tyjAold buellll. Not satlsfUd with this iMscdurngiiig proof if the futility of clomi hand, Hie Jootor proceeded to sok his Infected 3ner tU 1" pure alcohol Then no washed It again In sterile water. This tlmo tho analysis of tho water revealed four colonies of typhoid bacilli. Another experiment mude by Dr. Cummins was to rest a typhoid laden finger tip for Just an Instant on tho surfneo of a bowl of soup. Tho soup was then allowed to stand for twenty- four hours. When tlnally analyzed It revealed nearly 40,000 typhoid bacilli to every cubic inch. Now York Ameri can. Gettlno Ahead of Father.
