Probably Heart Disease.

Charles Bond, a pioneer resident,
aged between 81 and SO years, died
this morning, says the Albany Herald
Of Sunday as the result Of an injury
sustained while working in his hog
pen. While holding one Of the pork
ers, his left arm and hand were Sc
yerely wrenched and a physician was
called.
Mr.. Bonds injuries were not thought
serious at first and he seemed to rally
shortly after the medical attendance,
but few minutes later he expired.
1t is supposed that blood vessel was
ruptured or else the shock may have
caused heart failure The accident
occurred about o'clock and Mr., Bond
died within an hour.
Mr.. Bond was living on the old
home place formerly owned by his fa-
ther a mile northeast of Halsey. He
was born on this farm and with the
exception Of a few years spent near
the coast, had resided on the place all
his life.

Olga Steeb, the Wonderful.

Olga steeb, the young American
pianist, whose rapid rise into fame
and whose sensational programs have
aroused the interest and curiosity OF
the whole musical world, was born in
Los Angeles in June, 1890,
Miss Steeb's extraordinary gifts
were first noticed by her parents
when she was a child of four years
Of age AT this time 1t was discovered
by her mother, and proven by her
father, who is musician, that the
child had absolute pitch, being able to
name any tone or any possible combl.
nation Of tones. Where she learned
1t, no one can tell. 1t is as difficult
to explain as Is her most extraordin-
ary touch, her parents and friends
saying that in the Mozart, Scarlatti,
Bach and Beethoven compositions,
which she had already learned before
she was eght years old, her fingers
flew over the keys with the same un-
erring certainty and swiftness with
which they do today, and this state
ment is borne out by the remarks Of
the critics who sat in judgment of her
first public appearance in concert as
pianist, made when she was nine
years of age Since she was but little
more than a baby Miss Steeb has
been able to sing a tune after one
hearing.
Miss steeb comes to Salem on Fri
day night, and will be heard at the
armory. This is the special extra at
traction secured by DR.. H. c. Epley for
his series of entertainments. Seats
can be reserved at the Crown drug
store.

THE CITIZEN PRIMARIES.

The Journal secured for the people the submission of charter
amendment in 1911 for the nonpartisan primary.
For the first time citizen and register for the pr
mary election and have his vote count regardless of politics
Citizens do not have to register republicans Democrats
Socialists, Prohbitonsts or Independents.
Formerly if they not Republicans Democrats they had
right to vote at the primary election.
Now the vote of all citizens will be cast and counted at the
primary
Furthermore if majority of all votes at the primary
cast for any candidate the primary that candidate elected to
office and need not again
If there three candidates. and has
ory the two receiving the highest vote placed the
ballot to be voted on at the following election
Nearly 1000 voters have already registered and ordinarily
only few hundred registered for the city primaries
The registration this year will way up into the thousands
The old primary law kept the citizen away from the polls
The law will bring out large vote and better results

FIRE ESCAPES ON SCHOOL HOUSES.

Beyond gently roasting the efforts of citizens to get fire
capes nothing done at the Saturday night school meeting in
this matter
The fact remains that assembly hall that will hold 1000
people has only available exit in of stampede
That exit all know is the stairway at the east end of the
high school on the third floor
There two doors out at the west end but they afford only
narrow crooked passageways.

LESSON IN SCIENTIFIC
COMPLEXION RENEWING

(From The Family Physician.)
Every one has a beautiful skin un-
derneath the one exposed to view.
Bear that in mind and It will be cas-
Ter to understand the correct principle
in acquiring a lovely complexion. Ma
ture is constantly shedding the top
skin in flaky particles like dandruff,
only much smaller in size. In abnor-
NAL conditions. or in advancing age,
these particles are not shed as rapidly
as in robust youth. The longer they
remain the more soiled or faded they
become-that's the immediate cause Of
a bad complexion"
1t has been discovered that ordinary
mercoliaed wax, to be had at any drug
store, will absorb these worn-out par
tcles. The absorption, while hasten
ing Natures work, goes on gradually
enough to cause no inconvenience. In
a week or two the transformation is
complete. The fresh, healthy-hued,
youthful underskln is then wholly in
evidence, You who are not satisfied
with your compilations should get an
ounce of mercolized wax and try this
treatment Use the wax nightly. like
cold cream, washing It off mornings.

STREET PAVING
IN ACCORD WITH
REQUIREMENTS

Growing out of the contentious over
the thickness Of the concrete pave
ment on Lincoln street, the meeting Of
the council Monday night passed a
resolution declaring It to be the pur-
pose of that body that all streets con-
structed since the first of January,
1912, be measured as to thickness and
IL found deficient that appropriate
measures be taken against the con-
tractors. Yesterday Alderman p. j.
Lafky and j f. Jones, of the street
committee, in connection with the con-
tractor, E, w. Gelger, made an inyes-
tigatlon Of the payements on Center
and Seventeenth streets. The places
measured were selected by totally dis
interested parties The measurements
were made by the city engineer, Wal
ter Shelton, the pavements ranging in
thickness from six inches to eight and
lhree-tourths inches. A rev OF the
holes were made where there was
slight depression in the pavement,
which was thought to be unfair, but
notwithstanding this fact the improve
ment measured up to the requirement,
six inches in thickness
Oak street, which was done by Au-
gust Kehrberger, and South Four
teenth streets are next'to come in for
investigation Also High street and
South Cottage will be investigated.
Contractors Geiger and Kehrberger
welcomed the investigation as they
were confident their pavements would
como up to the required thickness.
