K CASE Of SMALLPOX IN TOWN
Stranger Has the Disease in Very
Mild Form.
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. A .ufe?ureyehta,tiye is

Albert'the fifWn-yeaf-olbf!son
of Mr. . and . Ars. 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. Word was received by
his father Saturday that his boy
was found. With singular cun
ning the youngster evaded the ef
forts of his aunt to learn the rea
son of his flight from home. To
all questions he gave indefinite
answers. He was brought back
Sunday.

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.

Prof. J. B. 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. Albany Herald.
