- PICKPOCKETS SCARCE.
As a usual thing when there is a circus
in town the police have plenty to do in
looking out for pickpockets and "sure
thing" men, who follow the shows. 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.
PLEASANT PUNISHMENT.
The prison of Jommelleres, in France,
was, until recently, a Writable Eden.
Here tha convicts had their own little gar

chickens, and, In fact, lived aa If in a
model village. Tet abuses crept Into this
happy convict colony. Uqupr was sold
on tha sly, and an Official inquiry was
made. The result Is that now Jommel

When Informed of the' llkely success of
her book, she was engaged In doing some
kitchen work for her mother. She Is, or
pretends to be, of a very erratic nature.
She says she Is a liar and a philosopher,
and loves devils. She hates gentlemen
and perfect ladles, but loves everything
that is sham and unreal. She declared a
score of times in the course of a conver

about going straight to the devil and say
her "rat title to her book was ''I Await

Here are some excerpts from the vol

"I care for neither right or wrong. My

siderable money. :v 5 f-
Mayor"?!. 6. Rows As received a let
ter from the brother, Peter Wall, of
South Merland, OUbbna county, Nova
Scptia, : asking f of Information about his
long-lost brother. ' Patrick left home
many years ago and tome to Oregon, In
1862 he wrote a letterjfom Portland, 'say
ing that he was running a trading store
here, atKi wanted his. Jjrqther to come
out and, take care of, r the business while
he paid a visit to his old home. The next
and "last letter ever , received from him
wa dated Portland, February, 1865. Wall
again Urged his brother to come out, say
ing that he wanted to leave a soon as
possible for Canada. He offered to pay
his brother's rare out to Oregon, and
asked If check drawn on Wells, Fargo
& Co. could fee' cashed at Barton, Mass.
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. Wall's relatives all being ouslde the
state, it appears strange that the legal
heirs were not notified of Patrick's
death.
Wall stated in one. letter to address his
mall in care of Marker Bros., Portland.

MUM (Ml
(Journal Special Service.)
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.

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.

the Harriman control. " 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. Oi "
conrse this may be nothing but a specm
latlon, yet It Is not among tha things ins '
possible. '
