.ELKS AN OLD ORDER
Evidence That tho Elk Was Hold
 Sacred Thousands of Years Ago

According Co the recent discoveries of ]. s. Crawford. the Albany phot) )- grapher. archaeologiSt and anthropol- ogist. there existed in Oregon great many years ago, Wat was probably the original order of Elks Ii the codclu sions be rightly drawn. the title to fame of Charles Vivian. founder ot the order of Jolly Corks, that bloSsomed into the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is not as great as has long been supposed. Vivian was nor the first Elk nor the order he founded not the original order of Bikes.
 Mir Crawford in digging for the Pkel' ctons of prehistoric man in the mounds of Linn county uncovered the skeleton of an elk that was apparently buried with the same care as were the human bodies of that period The Sepulch"r was carefully prepared by the burning process which adds much Co the pre- servativc qualities of the grave. All the graves of the human family at th;s period were prepared in the same way and as a result almost perfect skulls and skeletons arc being unearthed. Mir. Crawford took out enough of the autlcrS of the elk Co establish the ideu. tity of the animal
 From the great care and prenarl.ion exercised the burial of the animal at that distant day Mr. Crawford comes Co the conclusion that the animal was held in sacred regard by an order of fraternalizcrs that was probably the iorcruuncr of the Elks of this day Telegram

He has been a stoug political factor in the republican party and of late and also at times previously he had been mentioned az a candidate for the nomination cf mayor He had the largest political following of any man in the old villag: of LanSingburg, and it was believed that his influence on important QueS- tions ordinarily could decide their fate at the polls.

4 Strange Disease.

4 strange iistemper has appeared IN
he city and is causing no end Of COM
ment. About half dozen of the prom
inent business and professional men
have already suffered attacks and
others are showing some of the symp-
toms. The disease is not fatal. ex-
ceot in occasional cases to the good
looks of the victim, nor is il neces-
sarily inconVenient. Those who nave
been attacked have gone about their
business as usual. After the distem-
per once gets hold on a man there Is
no remedy except to allow ii to run It's
course Many claim that the BARRIERS
are responsible for the disease ana
that il is akin to BARRIERS itch, but
this is really not so. We have talked
! with many of the BARRIERS and they say
, that although they may be responsible
for the disease. it is always because
they are urgently requested by the
victims They admit, however. that 1t
increases their revenue and that they
are not particularly anxious to find a
cure.
But one "f the strangest features OF
the queer disease is the effect it has on
the wives Of the victims. Some of the
ladies when they see their husbands
fall n victim To the disuemper ar"
taken with most violent fits of laugh
ter that often border on hysteii 5.
while Others are real mad. In almost
every case there has been an unusual
and alarming lack of sympathy on the
part of the better halves. But this
may be accounted for by the fact that
the women have had no personal eX-
perience with the strange disease. even
the most rabid exponent Of woman's
rights being barred.
Shortly after a man is attacked the
diseases settles in his upper Lip and
then nothing will satisfy him but the
shaving Of his muStaChe and away i
goes. As already stated. several bust
ness and professional men have thus
suffered. and more are showing tn"
first symptoms.
