The sumachs nod along the dusty

they nod as if being lulled into sweet
forgetfulness, and the COW swings her
head and tail in gentle harmony, the
squirrel sits upon his hinder mem
hers on the mossy rail and emits a
tattoo that sounds like that of small
10y in the unhallowed act of drawing
a chair rung swiftly along picket
fence. The harvest moon is quite out,
and the hunters moon is on deck and
in the sky wondering what in the
world has become of all the game,
and if its present mission is to pre-
side over the destinies of fiat hunters.

EAD DAYS FOR "GooD FELLOWS,

Baseball is sport, but it is clean
sport-it is more than sport; it is bus
mess.
1t depends for it's success upon tn,
approval and patronage of a whole
some element of the public. and
must come up to the public standard
of morals and deceney.
1t is becoming common for profess
s:onal ball players to be struck out"
because of drunkness.
1t is becoming the rule that the man
who drinks hard is held to be inca.
pac!tated for the game where quick.
ness and correctness of thought an(
action are so requisite.
Business is setting it's face sternly
against the hard drinher. And so is
clean sport.
The railway companies, the tel
graph companies. the express compan-
les and all the rest of the great public
service corporations hold drunkness
in an employe to be ground for dis
charge.
The banking institution. thcush it
had millions at it's back could not live
a year with drunken men at its wick
cts.
The place in business for the hard
drinking man is shrinking smaller
and smaller each year. Today he sell
don rises above q menial position.
He is heavily handicapped, and on
ly extraordinary al lities can ever.
come the distrus' OF hi;H aid give him
an equal footin" with sober men.
1t is the same in the PROFESSIONS.
The old-time lawyer who made
great pleas only when drunk has been
crowded down by the lawyer who
''akes abier pleas when sober.
The drunken physician is no longer
deemed genius. but is avoided.
Even the best bartender is the sober
one. Saloonkeepers, just as all other
business men, recosnize the business

the good roads movement and ask them
to help you. 1t is safe to predict that
few taxpayers will refuse to sign your
petition. The road supervisor in each
district would be a suitable person to
take the lead in circulating these petit
tions, and all of them would doubtless
be glad to aid in the good work. II,
for any reason, the supervisor is
unable to attend to this work, do it
yourself, bearing in mind the fact
that every day spent IN working for
good roads will be profitable day for
you and for the community in which
you live. We believe that if proper
showing is made to the County Court,
there will be no delay in placing an
order for a rock crusher.
The mountains Of rock lying idle in
Polk county are needed for the public
roads and for the streets Of the county
towns. Dallas needs crushed rock for
her streets so does Independence, and
Monmouth, and Falls City; and at
such times as the county would not be
using the crusher, a handsome reve-
nue. could be realized by leasing it to
these towns. Other counties in Ore
gon have pursued this course, and
have found it highly satisfactory.
There are many reasons why Polk
county should buy rock crusher and
build better roads; there is not a
single reason why the county should
not take this important step. A
farther waste of the public funds in an
attempt to build good roads by using
dirt, boulders and soapstone is un-
justifable. Buy a crusher, build
permanent roads, and save money.

SOURCES OF INFECTION
County Health Officer Cary diVes
Out Some Facts Concerning
Scarlet Fever.

DALLAS. Or, January 26.-(Io the
Editor I'm view of the presence Oh
scarlet fever in Dallas, a brief state
ment concerning the nature OF tne
disease may not be amiSS TO tne
general public, whom it is earneS'ly
hoped will cooperate with the authorl-
ties to prevent afurther spread OF the
malady. -,
From the time Of exposure uhtll
development of the symptoms Oh
scarlet fever is period varying from
"a hours to 81 days. The majority OF
cases occur within week after eX-
posure. Speaking generally, it, after
exposure, a week passes without
symptoms, the chances Of infection
are small.
The chief source of infection is the
patient 1t is greatest during the
height of fever, when the disease is
most acute; next, during period OF
DISSEMINATION, or scaling, which is
not complete until about six weeks
from beginning Of illness. All DIS
charges from patient will transmit
the disease, viz: perspiration, dis
charge from bowels, kidneys, nose,
throat, mouth and ear, Carpets,
furniture in sick rooms, clothing OF
patient and clothing Of nurse, toys,
books. flowers, and even domestic
animals are sources of infection and
have conveyed the disease to others
Mild cases of scarlet fever are just as
Infectious as severe ones, and require
the same measures to prevent spread
ing. Children who have recovered
from the disease should not be allowed
to sleep with other children until three
months have elapsed.
The patient should be kept in a
room apart from other members OF
the family, and attended by one nurse
who must be quarantined with the
patient. Persons who are unavoidably
in close contact with the patient should
use an antiseptlc gargle four or five
times a day, and nasal spray twice
a day as a preventive.
In regard to quarantine: Ali cases
of scarlet fever must be kept isolated
from contact with the general public
for a period of six weeks from the
beginning of illness, as they are
sources of infection during that time.
Healthy persons from an infected
house must not attend any day school,
Sunday school, entertainment, or
other public assembly during the
existence of scarlet fever in the family.
After recovery from scarlet fever, the
patient before mingling with other
children should have at least two dis
infectant baths, the whole body and
scalp being thoroughly scrubbed, and
the hair, if long, cut short. The entire
house and all infected clothing must
be thoroughly fumigated after an
attack of scarlet fever. The Formalde-
hyde lamp is the most efficient disin-
fecting agent.
At present the malady is apparently
declining, as no new cases have been
reported for several days excepting in
families already infected. All existing
cases are efficiently quarantined, and
it is confidently hoped there will be no
further spread Of the disease.

So uniformly successful has DR.. Pierce'a

of Female Weakne Prolapsus, or Falling

a third of a century's experience Ill curing
the worst cases of these distressing and
debilitating ailments DR.. Pierce now feels
fully warranted in offering to pay $500 IN
cash for any case of these diseases which
he cannot cure.
IT STANDS ALoNE.-The VFavorite Pre-
scription stands alone, as the one and
only remedy for these distresslngly COM
mon forms Of weakness, possessed of such
positively specific curative properties as to
warrant its makers in proposing and
binding themselves to forfeit, as we, the
undersigned proprietors of that wonderful
remedy hereby do, to pay the sum of $500
in legal money of the United States in any
case of the above diseases in which after
fair and reasonable trial of our treatment,
we fail to cure. No other medicine for
the cure of woman's peculiar ailments is
backed by such a remarkable guarantee
no other medicine for woman's ills is pos
sessed of the unparalleled curative prop
critics that would warrant its manufacturers
in making such an offer no other remedy
has such a record of cures on which to base
such a remarkable offer.
Therefore, insist on having DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription and turn your back
on any INSCRIPTIONS dealer who would
insult your intelligence by attempting to
foist upon you some inferior substitute,
under the plea that "it is just as good"
Insist on having the article which has a

which is backed by those willing to forfeit
$500 if they cannot cure you.

PRESS ASSOCIATION TO COME
National Editorial Association viii
Visit Lewis and Clark Fair After
Meeting at Guthrie, o. T.

A reunion of all the state press asso-
Citations on the Pacific coast is planned
to be held at Portland during the
Lewis and Clark Centennial in con-
nection with the excursion of the
National Editorial association, which
will visit Portland after concluding
its sessions at Guthrie, Oklahoma.
The original plan of the National
association was to meet at Guthrie on
May 20, and proceed from there to
Portland, but as this would bring the
editors to the fair city about the open
ing date, June l, it is likely that the
convention will be postponed, and the
National association visit the fair
sometime between June Is and June
%, The National Editorial associa-
ton, which is the largest and most
representative body of newspaper men
in the United States, met in conven-
ton in Portland five years ago, and
its members took home with them
only pleasant recollections Of their
stay in the "Rose City"
The California, Idaho, Montana and
Washington Press associations are
agreeable to the idea Of meeting in
Portland about the time Of the arrival
of the National association. The Ore
gon Press association has already
voted to hold its 1905 session in Port
land, and it is likely that the press as
sociations Of Nebraska and other
states will swing into line as soon as
definite arrangements for the Guthrie
convention and excursion are CON-
pleted.

FOR HANGING THE JURY.

The scoring given by the United
States Judge and Prosecuting Attor-
ney Heney to the members of the jury
who voted against conviction in the
Sorenson case is not calculated to
make jury service more popular than
at present. 1t is questionable whether
the trial judge and prosecuting
attorney have the right or privilege
under the law to question the honesty
of a jurors motives who fails to be
convinced of the guilt or innocence of
a prisoner before the bar, simply be-
cause a majority Of the jury have
formed contrary opinions. At least
there is a question so long as the
judge and attorney are not in posses
sion of evidence of wrongdoing on the
part of the juror. Mr.. Heney as public
prosecutor, must not expect to convict
every man who stands accused in the
court before which he is practieing,
by any such attempt to scare the
jurors. If he is able to present the
evidence he will no doubt be able to
convince the jurors; but otherwise, he
can't expect a conviction. He may
honestly feel that the man he prose-
cutting is guilty, but he must prove it
to the jury's satisfaction. The ques-
tion is not whether Sorenson is guilty,
but whether the jury is liable to
arraignment by the court and prose-
cutting officer for not having found
him guilty.-Salem Statesman.
