Usu ally tha grafters have their own private car attached to the circus train and "give up" a certain percentage of the "take off" to the show. They usually set up their own tent near the main entrance to the circus and operate all kinds of sure thing games, from the "shells" to the tivoll.", , , . ' ' , .. With two big shows In town during the last few days the .police say that thus far they have not received ra single com plaint Detectives and officers In citizens' clothes have mingled with the circus crowds,.' but have not been called on to make an arrest.

The brother never came West, the mon ey was never sent, and no word- has since been received from tne man. He was at that time tji) years -oldf and it Is almost certain that he Is now gead. The ques tion Is how did be die and what .became of his money? The brother thinks it strange that no administration of his estate was ever had.

GRANTS PAHS, April SO.-Bevcra! hun dred head of cattle were killed In; South ern Oregon this season by the dreaded contagion symptomatic anthrax, though, by careful and concerted work, the dis ease has been practically stamped out. Symptomatic anthrax and blackleg are closely associated. As a disease the two ran hardly be told apart, though the methods of treating them are different. When the. disease first broke out here veterinary surgeons advised . the Vacci nating of all animals with-blackleg virus. This was done, but It did no good. The cattlemen were obliged to send to Paris for an especial anthrax virus, as none could be had In America. The long time required in getting the anthrax virus from Paris gave the disease ample time to spread, thus, making the work of checking It much greater than it would have otherwise been. Anthrax, like blackleg, Is a contagious germ disease, and Is produced by the presence of a specific germ. These germs can only exist In the living animal, so that when the animal dies the adult germs are changed Into spores, which in turn are taktn up or transmitted to liv ing animals, thus producing and spread ing the contagion. The first noticeable symptoms of the disease Is lameness in one of the legs, due to the congestion of the blood In that part from the action of the germ. The leg then becomeB badly swollen, the ani mal dwindles away, and finally dies of toxlo poison. There are several things to do in the stamping out of anthrax or any other similar contagious disease. The first ihing that ought to be done Is to remove all animals to another pasture and change the water supply, as it is from the water tpat a majority of the spores are taken. Birds and scavengers feed ing upon the carcasses of dead animals will collect the spores and deposit them . Free Rcchels every Wednesday at ft P. M. VISITORS WELCOME The Aeolian Company , M. B. WELLS, Sole Northwest Agent :' AEOLIAN HALL "r '-'- 353-335 Washinsrton Street at the watering troughs and streams where they go to drink. Tbe cattle, will in turn take them tip, - For this reason it Is also; a good plan to bury each carcass where it lays With, out dragging it oft.' This will prevent the-, danger of scattering tha spores over ths field, and also from allowing the scavengers to gather them up. AU ani mals .should be vaccinated as soon aa possible. Pouble vaccine is considered the best for producing Immunity, in this method the animals are innoculated twice, making the vaocjpw Weaker- for the first vaccination than for tha second. CONFIDENT. Williamson Says Things Look Bright in Eastern Oregon. (Journal Special Service.) THE DALLES, April SO. Polities is tha paramount topic of conversation in Eastern Oregon at tha present time, and The Dalles seems to be headquarters for the. gathering of the clans. They meet and mingle here from all sections of the great Inland Empire. The following are the principal claims made for and against the two political parties! There are three Pemocratlo counties In this section of tha state, namely, Baker, Crook and Harney, In whchl tha Cham berlain people claim solid, majorities. The Republicans refute this assertion, how ever, and claim every county eas of the moantalns for Furnish. Judge Lowell, whom Furnish defeated at tbe Umatilla cbunty primaries, is waging a bitter pol itical war against the Republican aspir ant for governor, and the Chamberlain people are alleging that aa high as 000 Republican votes will be lost by Furnish on account of this disaffection. This is Mr. Furnsh's home county. The Republicans admit that a fight Is on in their own ranks in that county, but claim they will not lose over 100 votes from this source. Many staunch Democratic friends of Mr, Furnish claim that it is the history of the county that It always gave its vote to the Pendleton banker when he was a Democrat, and this year will be no exception, now that he is a Repub lican, The Republicans claim Umatilla county by a large majority. Wasco county, it is conceded, Will give Furnish a majority. Notwithstanding the spirited contest at the primaries Irt Wasco between Con gressman Moody and' Senator Wilkinson, the greatest harmony how prevails, and many former Moody adherents are will ing to work -for Williamson. When interviewed today by a Journal reporter, Mr. Williamson: said: "fJo far as I have been able to discover, and I have met a great many Eastern Oregon people recently, theyare decided ly In favor Of maintaining exlstinicon dluons and of upholding the political party under whose policies these condi tions have been brought about.' Calam ity howlers are not wanted in Eastern Oregon. Objectors are at a discount. Ob structionists are away below par. The people want a continuation of the pros perity and upward tendency of prices they are now enjoying, and are going to say so in a tew weeks by trteir votes. Laborers are all employed afremuntra tive wages, In fact, the demand tor la bur exceeds the supply IBMnany place. Farms are being opened up, homes built, prices of farms are doubling and trebling in value, and our people see and appreci ate it. A Shrewd Candidate.

The probable changing of Mr. Coman over to tha Southern Pacific as general - ' freight and passenger agent Is consider--ed most likely by Portland railroad men.' They say that the transposition of Mr. Miller and Mr. Coman in their respective . i positions would' be considered as a mer- t y lted promotion for both. For long time after Mr. Woodworth's resignation from r tha general freight agency of tha p.' R, ., ft N. Company, Mr. MlUer faltbfuly per- " formed the duties t of acting general freight agent and also those of assistant general freight agent, He. merited" th ' promotion be received aa general freight and passenger agent of the Southern Pa - u clnc's Oregon lines, suooeedlng , Mr." Markham. s -;' - " After Mr. Coman was brought ores from the Portland General agency of the: , ' Oregon Short Line, at -the time at tan merger Of that Una with' the Union Pa cific, he was made Mr. Miller's succes sor, with the title only of assistant can eral freight agent of the O.

" Then Ben Camp - bell was suddenly transferred to Chlcag from the traffic managership of the O. , R. ft N. Company to the main fount of '' Harriman official Inspiration. This,, too. , was a merited promotion.. This left 4 heavy, duties on Mr. Coraan's shoulders. The Journal stated Monday that Mr. Mohler had gone to San Francisco to at tend- a conference with Mr. Harriman. This turns out to be correct The fact : that a banquet la to be given cuts n figure, as that la merely an Incident. At this banquet there will be present front Portland from the O. R. ft N. Company President Mohler, General Passengef Agent Craig, Assistant General; Freight -t Agent Coman, Auditor Benson and Coun ' ; sel Cotton. From the Bouthenv Pacifle Manager Koehler, General Freight ana1 J Passenger Agent Miller, Superintendent Fields and counsel Fenton. This is re ported as being intended to be "a purelj ' social runction," . , ' After this banquet, in due. course, of . flclal circulars are likely to appear her next week, showing official changes. " ' A very pretty story is going- the rounds to the effect that there is another ehangt on the checkerboard, and that It. relate! , to General Passenger Agent Craig. Th story is that he is to be promoted an ' that he will be made a, sort of general passenger traffic official, with headquar " ; ters at Chicago or possibly at Ban Fran cisco. If una, thla would be a big lif; -for Mr, Craig, for to be placed at thl ' head of tha Harriman system of passers ger traffic would be a great thing.
