Mercy and Freth Eggs.
At a small post in Egypt Sir Gilbert
Parker, the novelist, and an English
fllcer lived practically on eggs and
tinned meat, and, as there was noth
ing else to be had, the eggs Mere a
cry Important Item of the dietary.
Day after day the eggs, like those of
the oft quoted curate, were "very
good In parts," but one morning they
were frankly bad. The officer, who
kad the power of life and death In
those parts, determined that the eggs
PEACEFUL TABBY, purring upon the hearth, potted
and pampered by the whole family, is declared by a
government scientist to bo an agent of the most deadly
germs, spreading discaso and death anionic those who fon
dle her.
Investigation has proven that in a cat's sleek soft fur
upon which tho baby delights to rub its cheek lurk tho
germs of tuberculosis, of smallpox and that deadly dis
ease of babies and childhood, diphtheria.
"The cat returns to its home thoroughly inoculated.
The mother smiles as the baby tumbles about on the floor
with Tabby. When the child is stricken, every disease
breeding source is considered except the family cat," says
Dr. A. K. Fisher, the government expert.
Practically the only thing to be feared from a dog is
hydrophobia. To this terrible disease, says Dr. Fisher,
cats are as susceptible as dogs, though they do not bite
people as often, yet cases of hydrophobia from cat bites
are not infrequent.
The next charge brought against the cat by Dr. Fisher
is that it spreads ringworms, a very painful and sometimes
dangerous disease. Eats and niice are peculiarly suscep
tible to this disease, and it is transmitted from them to
cats. The presence of the disease on cats hidden by
their fur is not uncommon. It was through the frequent
appearance of ringworms on hands of babies that the germ
theory was first pursued against the cat.
"Recently there has been much attention paid to rats
and the harm they do, both as destroyers and as spreaders
of disease. In this connection it has been pointed out what
a valuable animal the cat is to keep down the rats. That is
an error. I can state from my own personal observation
that only about five per cent of the cats are mousers.
"Little harm woidd be done if the whole cat tribe wfere
exterminated, but there would be too much opposition to
that. Still we think that when many of the facts con
cerning cats have been made public mothers will be more

Ty OOR bleeding Kansas is again in the throes of civil
-t strife. Kansas has long been known as a banner
state for the grand old party, but just now the banner is
being rent with internecine strife from the green banks
of the Kaw to the prairie dog villages of the Colorado.
The issue is the regulars against the progressive repub
licans, whatever that inay mean in Kansas.
"We have always understood progress in Kansas to
mean the legislation of nine-foot sheets on hotel beds,
or an embargo against the wearing of hosiery by its legis
lators, but Representative Murdock has come back from
"Washington and injected a new and burning issue into
the seething maelstrom of Kansas politics.
Down somewhere in the basement of the White House,
hid away in obscure cubbyholes, where no human foot
save that of the Kaw representative had trod since the
electrician put them in, this vigilant disciple of the hatchet
found electric lights, a colored gentleman, so to speak, in
the national woodpile. Far be it from a true representa
tive of Kansas to overlook any such national extrava
gance, and the aforesaid colored gentleman was figura
tively seized by the neck and bodily thrust into the alkali
politics of Kansas, and upon this momentous issue the
G-. O. P. of Kansas is being rent asunder, and the progres
sives have conducted a whirlwind and victorious campaign.

Cause of the List.
When Theodore Roosevelt was pres
Ment be told this story on William H.
Ttft, who was then secretary of war:
"When I started for Panama on the
Mtm& warship that Taft had traveled
I noticed a slight list to starboard.
1 called the captain in and asked him
bow It happened that wo were not run
irfng on an even keel. Ho was eome
what embarrassed, but I told him to
at with it, and ho came back with
this: 'Well, Mr. President, the secre
tary of war sailed with, us uot long
go, and he slept on the port side.
And andwell, sir, wo haven't had a
chance yet to ahtfjL bollast.' "
JBvenif your storo wore, actually,
more important that your advertis
ing would Jndldcate, the public would
ot believe it,
T AST month approximately $75,000 was expended by
L the city of Medford in public improvements. Nearly
all of this expenditure went into sewers, water mains and
paving, and was made at the ibstance of the property
owners affected thereby.
Other cities of the size of Medford have made great
flourish of trumpets over the expenditure of a like amount
in a year, and while Medford has been doing some point
ing with pride to her outlay for civic improvements, the
record is one that might well exhaust the vocabulary of
an old party resolution committee in the pointing with
pride business.

Early roturns today from tho

wore in favor of tho rcgulurs and at

Strong Showing Made.
Tho first district was supposed to
bo strongly regular and tho insurg
ents yesterday predicted that tho
rogulars would win, Tho strong
showing thoy made there has groatly
pleased tho insurgent leaders.
In the third district, where Con
gressman P. P. Campbell sought re
nomination nnd was opposed by Ar
thur Cranston, insurgent, early re
turns showed Campbell winner. La
ter returns siiowed insurgent guins.
It is estimated that Governor
Stubbs' plurality is 20,000. This,
tho insurgents suy, represents their
lend over the regulars in the state.
Tho insurgents hore declare the
victory in Kansas is the most dis
tinct repudiation of Cnnnonism reg
istered in iinv fight in which tho vot
