Mr. Arthur Kroenig, a young man recently arrived from Wis consin is confined in the city pest house with smallpox. He has been in Corvallis about two weeks having come from Eu gene to this place. He was em ployed at the mill of Strong & Co., and roomed at the Farmers Hotel. He began breaking out a week or ten days ago, but think mg it was only a rash he went about his work and appeared on me streets until nis iace was completely broken ibut. Chief o: Police Lane saw him upon' the street and took him to Dr. Farra, who pronounced :it a clear case of smallpox but only of a light form. The young man declared that it was eczema and that he had it about this time each year Dr; Farra thought otherwise, however, and he was taken back to his room in the Farmers' Ho tel and quarantined until Fri day night when he was taken to the pest house just outside the city limits on the road to Albany The description given in reliable medical treatise of smallpox and kindred diseases leaves no doubt as to the genuineness of his case Chicken pox is often confounded with smallpox but there is a dis tmct ainerence ana anyone may ascertain this for himself. Chick- enpox breaks out nrst and is confined mostly to the body ap pearing sometimes also on the hands and face. Smallpox breaks out first on the forehead and spreads downward over the face and is particularly noticable on trie nngers. unickenpox erup tions contain a watery substance called serum and when pricked with a pin will completely coll apse. Smallpox eruptions con tain a yellowish substance called puss and the prick of a pin will not make them change their shape. Chickenpox eruptions are mostly upon the surface. Small pox eruptions are more deeply seated. Anvone can try this for himself if he be in doubt as to tne real tning i ne best way is to stay away from the whole tning. Eruptions break out m about 14 d s after exposure. Al though' not" 'dangerous 111- this form, it nevt-rtheless.may ' result in serious consrqutnees . ift those exposed are Mifferinir Iroin other diseases.

John .Wyatt, who are wealthy,viarm owners, about two miles west of, Corval lis, disappeared from the Newton school house last Wednesday noon. When he left he bade some of the scholars good-bye. It is reported that he chafed under a reprimand given him last Wed nesday by his teacher for not be ing able to do a sum in arithme tic. He disappeared so suddenly ana enectiveiy mat it caused, no little consternation and mathe matical thought on the part of the teacher. At 12:30 o'clock men working on the telephone line saw a boy going towards Cor vallis that answered to his descrip tion and after that all trace of him was lost until word was re ceived from his aunt, Mrs. Con- )r, 275 Montgomery St., Port land, that he was there. When Albert failed to come home that night his father started search which traced him irom Corvallis to Albany and from there to the home of his aunt in Portland. It was found that he had walked moneyless and hungry from Cor vallis to Albany a distance of ten miles. He took the a:xo blind baggage at Albany and turned up at his aunt's at 10 o'clock the same night He jumped out of Portland on Thursday and went to Perrydaie where he has sisters living.

Placed In Aid Society. Eva May Hurt, of this city, another or Ureheld's victims was taken to the Boys and Girls Aid Society at Portland one day last week, where it is thought the change of surroundings may be of benefit to her. The reward now offered for the arrest of Creffield is about 4.00. but it is very probable he will never be caught. So completely secretive are his followers that no clue whatever can be gained as to s whereabouts. The damage he has done, however, could be repeated by his many followers. He might wholly disappear, yet the evil would continue to spread. The main idea of the sect is the effacement of all natural func tions. If the idea once becomes established in the mind that such thing is possible, many well- meaning people are apt to be led astray, particularly those who are verv conscientious and are pos sessed of a sensitive religious nature.

Horner to Lecture The Ministerial Association of Southern Oregon has arranged for a course of lectures on Ore gon literature at Ashland, Med- ford, Jacksonville and a number of other towns in that part of the state. Prof. T. B. Horner, of the Oregon Agricultural College, who has written and lectured on the subject more than any other per son, has been chosen to give the lectures, commencing June 19. Before Davenport, Mrs. Dye or Charles Markham had obtained note the professor had stated in his first book on the subject that Oregon had produced more genu ine literature in 50 years than all the other 13 colonies . had in a century and a hals. He has im plicit faith in the growth of the literary west. It is his belief that had Massachusetts at first planted as many universities, col leges, academies and free schools as there have been in the Willam ette valley she would have out done England in the maturity and finish of her literary output I decades ago.
