' "Water Wajron" at Engene, University of Oregon, Eugene, Ore., Jan. 14 (Special) The typhoid epi demic, which-caused- so much alarm among the students at the university and the townspeople of Eugene is now completely under control. While the situation never reached the alarm, ing Btate pictured by the newspapers, the city council and the University fac ulty took the matter in hand the lat ter part of December, publishing stringent - regulations insisting upon the use of boiled water and 'other sanitary measures, with the Immediate result of stopping the spread of the disease. Only two new cases have broken out in the last three weeks, in both of which the infection probably occurred before the boiled water plan was enforced. All danger is prac tically over now, as the students are exceedingly' careful, insisting on boil ed water, not only for drinking pur poses, but also for cleansing the teeth and washing their faces. The "water wagon" Is a familiar sight about the campus and univer sity. Thrice each day the university, under the personal direction of Prof. Sweetser, state biologist sends out a wagon load of huge water tanks on. for-each club and fraternity, and in spectors in each club .house personally see that only the water In the tanks are used. . .- ,. In view of the fact that the situation is now completely under control, the "water wagon" seems to some to be rather farcial In its mission. Neverthe less President Campbell Is firm in in sisting that college authorities boil and deliver all water used, until such a time as the city water shall be de clared absolutely pure and free from the deadly typhoid germ. The new city filter plant will be in use early in February. ; ' , , . CHURCH ANDSTATE jV Bv AGATHA L BREWER . Copyright, imo. by American Press Association. Cawky Jack was the sobriquet ap plied ' to one of the most villainous demons that ever infested any of the territories belonging to the United States. His name was said to be John Biggera. but that was only surmised from the fact that on one occasion, having killed a man and been arrested, be bad been, called upon to give bis name 'and bad given (bat one. ' For a long while Cawky Jack was accustomed to put people out of bis way by means of small round leaden balls. It was a very Inexpensive way of doing It, and at the time there was no one in a position to make open oh Jectiou. But the original venomous nest occupied by Jack grew to be a bamlet then a town with a church. Tbe deacons of the church finally camo to consider that tbe place bad outgrown Cawky Jack. He must either be reformed or got rid of. At a meeting of tbe deacons It was de cided to send a committee to tbe des perado to announce to him that be must either come within tbe fold of the church or stop killing people or "git out Jack sent back word that be was not prepared to become a Chris tian and be didn't propose to leave place in which be bad lived so long and "whose boneyard be bad done so much to fill." At a meeting of the deacons to hear the report of tbe committee Deacon Riggs from Tennessee, who before his conversion bad done the next most to Jack in Oiling tbe said boneyard. got up and spoke as follows: "Brethren, I reckon we'ns all air reckenslled to the fac' tbat tbe sinner must be removed, pervided It kin be done accordln' to Scripture. Now, I bold that tbe good book doesn't no wbar. forbid us to strike dorfn tbe ene mies o' tbe Lord. It does say that 'be who smites with tbe sword shall per. Ish by the sword.' or words to that ef fect But whar, I'd like to know, does It say anything about tbe revolver? I move that after pra'r we resolve our selves Into a committee to go forth, and tbe fust , one of us that meets Cawky Jack opens fire." The speaker sat down, and Brother Ilargan arose.- ' . ; "I think." said Hargan, "that I kin' .name a better way than that. 1 rec- cymend that we offer a twenty dollar bill to nny man as '11 shoot Cawky Jack." Sluce nobody wished to take a per sonal part In the Job. tbe motion found favor with the bretbreu. Ilargau was empowered to make tbe offer, and tbe meeting adjourned. . Tbe next morning a notice appeared on tbe church door matins tbat any body who would suoot Cawky Jack would receive $20 from tbe church i funds. Tbe object of this notice, saun tering by the ('Lurch, saw It cud read , It lie went on wy thoughtful. The EXTRAORDINARY VALUES TODAY IN .

When they were assembled Jack arose and said: v "1 appreciate the effort o' you gents In tryln' to make this yere a respect able community. But 1 alius beam tour's no gov'ment so low down as the gov'ment o' the rlcheous. The-church is fer spiritual work; the law Is fer gov'ment Now. if you genu will or ganize a court in this yere town as '11 make a law agin carryln weepons I'll be the fust to drap mine." Since this was coming in another way at what tbe committee wanted they agreed to the proposition, called a public meeting, and a court was duly organized. As soou as this was ef fected Cawky Jack swore out a war rant against the deacons, charging them with conspiracy with Intent to kill him. Tbe people were somewhat taken aback at this proceeding on the part of tbe legally reformed Cawky Jack, but tbe tiewly elected officers saw no way to proceed except In ac cordance wltb tbe statutes. Tbe deacons were all arrested, but Imme dia'cly balled. Tbelr counsel, a real lawyer Import ed for tbe purpose of defending them, informed them tbat h long term of Im prisonment was tbe penalty fixed fot their crime and the proof was undis putable. They unanimously decided to return to Deacon Riggs' plan. Tbe Teunessecan was himself tne first maD to meet Cawky Jack after the decision. . , "Dowdy, deacon?" sold Jack.. "Howdy.
