What is said to be the worst epi-lemic of sickness since 1889 is being experi enced in Pittsburg sod physicians esti mate that thousands ot parsons ara pros trated by pneumonia, typhoid fever and especially the grippe. Throughout the city probably every horns is affected in some manner sad scarcity of employ in the large office buildings is seriously felt. The Pittsburg Railway Company is having difficulty in manning; its cars on account of the conducto-s and motor, men being laid up with grippe. City Physician Booth says the present epi demic of grippe exceeds in scope and severity all but that of 1889 and may yet break that record, He believes the germs may have originated far from here, In 1889 tbe malady's start as taced back through" Europe to Asia and finally lo cated in Hoagkong, China. .Telegram. The following table, taken from the recoidsof the Registrar's office, shows tbat the students of tbe University of Oregon come from practically every coun ty in the State. There are now in at tendance in the departments at Eugene, exclusive of music, 400 students. That they are not from the homes of the rich, is shown by tbe fact tbat nearly 70 of them are either wholly or partially earn ing their own way. Most of them are registered from the smaller cities of tbe state that support good high achcole. The following counties are represented: Baker, Clackamas, Clatsop, Columbia, Cojb, Curry, Douglas, Gilliam, Grant. Everything. BigftBarguins Rule. Josephine, Jack sen, Klamath, Lane, Linn, Marion, Morrow, Multnomah, Polk, Sherman, Tillamook, Umatilla, Union, Wasco, Washington, sWheeler, Yamhill. In addition to the lectures and practi cal demonstrations to be given by the various members of the faculty at OAC during the coming short course, arrange ments have been made ior several lectures by prominent men and women who are known throughout the state for their ahility-oc lhe lecture platform;-' A ateiSi these areihe following: Mrs. Clara H Waldo, who will deliver several address es ; M.

The evil of the treating babit is little understood by those who sre total ab stainers. To those who frequent clubs and bar-rooms tbe treating sceae is fami liar. A half dozen friends meet and one s uggests s drink in which all join. They stand at the bar a few moments to talk a nd a second member of the group pro poses another di ink. Then each of the others feels the desirs to show his spirit of hospitality and no one of the crowd will take the chance of giving offense by declining to drink. Thus six glasses of liquor sre costumed each where one, at the most, would have sufficed if each bad paid for bis own drink. Mors than that, but for the treating babit it is likely that the first drink wonld not have been pro posed, There would be little drunken ness in t be world if men drank only be caussthey want the liquor and not be cause they ara asksd to loin in a ''social" glass. OregoBtaa. Jack London. On his way around the wsrld for the Woman's Home Companion Jack Lon don visited the lepers of Molokai on the island ol Hawaii. "Leprosy is not so contagious as is imagined," writes Mr. Loaden in the January Woman's Home Companion. "I went ior s week's visit to the Settle ment, and I took my wife along all of which would have not happened bad we had any apprehension of contracting the disease. Nor did we wear long, gauntleted gloves and keep apart from the lepers. On the contrary, we mingled i ree'.y with them, and before we left ko .w scores of tbem by sight and name. Tbe precautions of simple cleanliness seem to be all tbat is necessary. On returning i to their own houses, after bavin been among and handling lepers, the non lepers, such as the physicians and the superintendent., meiely wash their faces and hands with mildly antiseptic soap and cfaangd their coats".

HCRSEWKIPPED HIS DAUGHTER Has Been in Jail Since Corvallis lias Peculiar Excitement. George H . n has been 'do . ng time" i; b- Bentoq county jail since Tutsy iorenoon when 'A .

His offense is assault upon the person of his three, daughters, wb are all young women. According to the story it seems that Harmon called his daugh ters to get upTuesday morning, saying that unless they were downstairs in ten minutes he "would - be ' ud there." The girls arose hurriedly and began to dress but before they were ready to go down their father en tered their room and began slash ing at them right arid left with a buggy whip. Not satisfied with raising welts on their shoulders that stood out like whip cords for hours afterwards, be attacked his eldest daughter -with his fists, beating her about the head until her face was disfigured and her hearing impaired. Tbe girls appealed to Police Wells for piotection and Har mon was at once arrested, as above stated. The family came here from tbe East some months aeo and are located in the Abbott bouse on Fourth street. The daughters state that the mother died in the East about a vear ago. One girl received a horsewhipping from her father last summer and the marks are still to be seen on her shoulders and back. The case his caused considerable com ment and indignation in Corvalli and the outcome of the affair will be awaited with more than ordi nary interest. Uncle Tom's Cabin" Coming. Stetson's Great Double Spec tacular prod action of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is booked for next Monday night at the Opera House. This grand old drama has been mercilessly butchered by the "fly-by-night" companies iu the past. It is a marvel that it has not long before this lost its power ot attracting theatregoers which is quite often the case with most plays and even so vvilh pre ductions other than Stetson's, but the public has learned to know tbat Stetson's is always reliable, that it alone has lifted "Uncle Tom's Cabin" from me diocracy to 'mastery. In short, it is the only company present ing this time-honored drama with capital enough to provide suffi cient scenery, people and rail road . equipment to place it among the best entertainments before tbe public. Stetson is the only one presenting the drama as a first-class show should be environed and equipped. And morning known at no more enjoyable entertainment will be seen in the local house than this one. Over fifty peo ple are used in the produc tion and with its artistic mingling of mirth, melody and pathos, all classes of amusement seekers are entertained. Specialties galore, wonderful mechanical effects, new costumes, a splendid orches tra, a large pack of Siberian bloodhounds, pretty little Shet land ponies, meek-eyed donkeys, mild and tricky, are in evidence at every performance. The street performance is said to eclipse anything ever given by a theatrical company and con tains a scene ot processional nov elties that will delight every boy and girl and make even nature pause to contemplate.
