The city election is liable to surprise someone. With but two wards voting on anything except city marshal, the vote will nrobablv be unusually light. This will mean that the candidates will be neglected by their friends, j This was what happened m the primaries so far as the democratic ticket was concerned. No one took any in terest in the contest between King and West for the senatorship, and as between Pierce and Starkweather most of the democratic votors felt that the former was certain of the nomination. This left but the office of national committeemen and there was little interest in that. From the governorship down there was not a can didate on the ticket for any state or county office except for justices of the peace in the several precincts. In con sequence but a small portion of the party went to the polls. With the polling of a light vote results are always doubly uncertain. One candidate with a good machine behind him can generally win easily even though he is not strong with the people, for the reason that his work ers get the vote favorable to him out while the candidate depending on his friends will find nine -times out of ten, that unless some really big issue is at stake, they will stay at. home relying on the balance of the candidate's friends to put him over. The selection of Governor Withycombe was a case of this kind. With five candi dates in the runnin.g it was made still easier for a well managed minority to win, and the selection of the gov ernor to succeed himself was due to just this condition. The vote which made him a winner was only about 15 or 16 per cent of the party vote. The Withycombe followers were vigorous in getting all his supporters to the polls, and the" fact that he received then only so small a per centage of the party vote shows he is not especially strong. The race this fall gives promise of being a spirited one, and Governor Withycombe has another heat to go that will test his mettle. 1 - 1 . . i i e i mi everyone, wno can ao so, Keep a numoer ox nens. mis is good advice, but it, like castor oil and advice, is better' to give than to receive. With wheat ..for chicken feed barred and corn at $2.50 a bushed and perhaps mouldy at that, what is the chicken owner to feed his hens on? These same wise ones tell us to have no waste from the tables or kitchen, and to feed up the biddies on this, but it is not a success. It is too much like the text given a Bible student to construe, something about the asses snuffing up the east wind, and the student said the only construction he could place on it was that it would be. a long time before the asses get fat on the diet At present prices for chicken feed of any kind that can be procured, li,,s s"?Iired -9l,e brought her book ad 1 . . , . , .

Georg.? spent most of his time either with her or talking with some gentlemen he knew. I curled up in the corner of the seat and gave way to gloomy thoughts for a time. Then George came iu with an armful of magazines and I resulute lv opened one aud read. After our luncheon, which Mrs. Col Little Costa Rica yesterday declared war against the Central Powers. This makes the number of nations op posed to Prussian militarism 29. It is a notable fact that since the war started of all the nations entering it, but one, Bulgaria, took the side of the kaiser while' one after another most of the nations have arrayed themselves on the side of the allies and the world's freedom. When one reads of such things as the bombing of a Red Cross hospital by.Prussian airplanes and the killing or wounding of more than 100 nurses, attendants and There is rather a strange condition in the race for the state treasuryship. Plummer, Cusick and West admitted their defeat several days ago. Now comes Ryan and Hoff, the two remaining candidates and each admits he is beaten. With all five of the contestants licked there should be an entirely new deal. It looks very much as though the baseball fan would have to Hooverize on the game this season. A man. who can make good on a ball team is pretty good material for a soldier. A few companies of bomb throwers could be selected from this element that would make Fritz sit up and take notice. That live local paper, the Turner Tribune, edited by heart f. Jiassler, has declared its advocacy of the election of Senator Walter M. Pierce for governor. The Tribune finds it impossible to endorse the administration of Governor Withycombe and believes the best interests of the state demand a change. - The poet asked: "What is so rare as a day in June." For one thing a day in February is some six per cent more rare, and by the way a reasonably warm day in May can give the June day aforesaid cards and spades and beat to to a frazzle. helpless patients, one is apt to ptueve mat nrami s possibility, dpsprintion of the meanest man must have been intended. for the kaiser who permits such things. Brann said of a rortnin twsnn that: "If he had been dammed oy Psychorax and sired by Satan, and horn in Hell he would disgrace his country and dishonor his parents." This is rather strong language but m our opinion falls far short of- the actual truth. However-we quote it as the nearest the English language can come to properly describing that Prussian fiend, the kaiser, and his gang of military assassins. Thirty-four carloads of lumber from Oregon mills are on their way east having been sent on an order from Washington and the lumber is destined for use, by the allies in France. The cut was made by 34 mills, a carload to the mill. This brings the number of train loads of lumber sent out of Oregon on government orders since February, up to forty-nine. Oregon mills are also cutting a big order of vertical grain decking for English ship yards. When it comes to a question of lumber, Oregon is the answer. For anything that floats or flies she has the material and the very best at that. Germany after her much vaunted offer of peace with out indemnities, no sooner got the better of Rumania than she began a wholesale plundering of the people with whom she had just made a treaty. To excuse her dirty robbery and plundering she asserts now, that this is in the nature of "indemnity." The Rumanian and Russian treaties were, so far as Germany is concerned, of the same kind as that made .with Belgium "scraps of paper." "Go to work or go to war," has all the ear marks of a real campaign slogan of some Webfoot candidate who is ready to charge the breastworks of the other party at any time if the salary of the office is big enough.

I have an interesting story to read also." I'or over two hours we sat without speaking. Then George came iu and, for the remainder of the jouriv'y, ue and Mrs. Collins kept up a running fire of small talk. We were to stay at the same hotel, so naturally George took charge of her luggage. "it's easy for widows to travel, if they have some other woman's husband to look after them," I thought bit terly, as I stood waiting while he hunt ed up a piece of her luggage which she insisted must go to the hotel with her. More Unpleasantness. "Make yourself as attractive as you ean," George said as nc left trie. lt won't take me long to dress. I'll be back iu a minute." We was gon,? some time. I was nil dressed wheu ho came in. The moment I saw his face, I knew he was displeased. ''Is that what you call making your self attractive," he asked, paying no attention to the maid. "Why am I not all rightf" 1 had selected a dress of soft, white material a little low in the neck. It was a dress I could have worn for a home dinner. "Have you so few clothes that you must select that qttukerish thing to ap pear :r1" My eves filled at his tone. and I turned away that he might not h tuo tears. "I'll ehunge, if you will tell me what vou would like nie to wear." "There's no time to change!" (ho hail Ueeu dressing as lie talked). "Mr3 Collins will be waiting." Mrs. Collins! Was she to eat with us, I glanced into the mirror. Really lotted vuy well. I choked back the tears, dabbed my face with powder, again, iisd waited. But when I saw Mrs. Collins and the other women, I realized Iimv like a child I must look ouch elab orate fortuities, I never had seen. They were like tho wonderful dancing frocks iu my trunks. Too elaborate for a din ner, I thought "You are not dancing, tonight I Mrs. Collins askvid, in oily tones, aa we joined her. "Dance is there a dance!" "Of course! You never have been to the casino, Geoige tells incj you will be charmed. I adore it." Why had not George told me? Indig nation flushed my cheeks, as I follow ed meekly behind them into the dining room. Could he hava purposely allowed me to remain in ignorance! He was so pioud, so impatient with me if I were not suitably dressed for each and every occasion, that I could not understand Ins not telling mo about the dauemg. . Helen Blames Mrs. Collirui. In some way I was sure Mrs. Collins was to blame. In just what way, I could n't figure out, Ilut in my own mind I was satisfied that it was so. I would not allow her to "crow over me," to use an old expression of David's. "I Khali, too, I am sure. You see I have been at home, always. All thse things that are so familiar to you old er women, aro new to me. I, too, adore dancing, aud if, when you are having your dessert George" I turned to him "I may bu excused, I will be ready by the tinio you have finished. I forgot that vou saiu we were to dance to uight!" The expression on George's face was so comical, I almost laughed. He knew as well as I did, that ho had said nothing about dancing1 and that I had simply saiu what I had, for a reason. He rcturneu gravely: "Certainly, Helen. But don't keep us waiting."' "Why do you change, Mrs. Howard f You look very much like a debutante." "But I am not a debutante. I am a married woman." I answered, smiling, but furious.

The Moldavia was a steel twin screw steamer of 9,500 tons built in 1903. She was 520.6 feet long, had a beam of oh.3 feet aud a draft of 24.8. She was owned by the Peninsular and Oriental Steam navigation company and was registered at Greenock.

"So," thought Pigment Scuff awe struckly, "I am actually in the gain room with the world's greatest liter ary celebrities, treadiag the same floor breathing the same microbes!" Aud he tiptoed about, breathing aa timidly, and not breathing out at all, recognizing the great writers from pic tures he had seen of them in the papers. "That's Homer V. Kittles, author of the gr.cat novel of fhiaice, "The Banks of the Wabash," he thought excitedly. "And over there, scratching his ear, must be Teraee Y. Cylinder, who wrot that great realistic novel of metropoli tan life: 'Salvaged from tha City'a Sewage.' " Then, suddenly, his eyes almost start ed from his head with awe, shock, ex citement aud surprise. For, surrounded by a group of lesser celebrities, whs seemed to be hanging on his every word, Pigment Scuff saw Ajax D. Di- mitty, the great essayist. That famous massive forehead! That inspiring intel lectual board! "What casual words of eternal wis dom must be dropping from those lips" thought Pigment Scuff. "What a rich flow of faultless English must be in toxicating that entranced crowd!" And he timidly drew nearer to hear. "Of course, the great essayist wa saying, "I don't say ha's the bright est baby in the world, but I've never seen a brighter one, that's all. If yon could see hiin point to a horse and say 'Awss!' If you could hear him an swer, when I say to him, 'Whose ikkis boy is oo?' if you could hear him an swer, 'Oors!'

Should all the Plasmodia die or be killed by suitable measures, the patient would then get well. From the time one is bitten until the appearance of the customary symptoms, is usually from tlx to fourteen days. The tertian, or tertian ague, is the commonest form of malarial lever and appears every two days. The first stage, or chill, is pre ceded by nausea and vomiting, headache, backache, and general discomfort The body shakes, the teeth chat ter, the pulse is rapid and irregu lar, the temperature is high though the skin Is cold, and there is a cop ious flow of urine. After ten minutes to an hour, of this misery, there comes a sen sation of intense, burning, consum- ' Ing heat, headache, rapid pulse, redness of the skin and sometimes delirium and unconsciousness last ing two to six hours. Then follows profuse sweating, lower temperature, feeble pulse, ex haustion and sleep. In two days this experience is re peated, a new crop of parasites hav ing developed in the meantime and produced their customary results. The other forms of malarial fever have the same symp'oms as the tertian with the exception of the latent, sometimes known as dumb ague, in which the symptoms lack definlteness. Malarial fever may bo compli cated with neuralgia, apoplexy, In sanity, bronchitis, pneumonia and diseases of the heart, liver, lungs and Intestines.
