A Case of Small Pox.

The iolloNing is from the Telegram, o.
last evening:
"Another case Of smallpox was dis.
lowered in the city this morning upon
the arrival Of the Southern Pacific train.
The man came from Harrisburg and ID
so badly broken out with the disease that
he was even refused admission to the old
st. Vincent hospital, which is being ut
ilized for contagious diseases exclusively.
City Physician Wheeler Immediately
took the patient in charge, and had him
removed to the pesthouse.
The new arrival at the pesthouse ID
Richard Barrett, young man about %
years of age, whose home is at Harris
b1rg. He came from Harrisburg this
morI ing, but fortunately there were but
few passengers on the car with him. DIR.
Wheeler thoroughly disinfected and fum-
igated the car upon its arrival, and also
vaccinated as msDy OF the passengers as
he could find. He ooea not look for any
spread of the disease from exposure.
Barrett came from Seattle on the 18th
OF last month, and it is believed that he
brought the disease with him. With him
there are now four pat 'ents at the pest
house. Two have been discharged cured
and three more will be ready to leave in
a few days"

being paid off he left Harrisburg. lie

Corvallis.
From the Times.

From the Times.
John Vineyard was in town Monday
evening. The visit was important in
that it was the first Mr.. Vineyard had
made Corvallis in several months. He
was trusty large part of his time at
Salem andlby good behavior shortened
his term of service something like four
months.
A.lF. Hershner has temporarily closed
his Corvallis store, and will, in few
days.0pen summer establishment in
the Booth building on Nye Creek. The
family went over yesterday to occupy
the cottage, and Mr.. Hershner will fol-
low with the stock of groceries today.
James A. Cauthorn, whose final re-
covery from an attack of rheumatism
that kept him on his back for seventeen
months, was a delight 10 his friends, is
not quite SO well as usual. He came
down the last of the week from Hugh
Finley's where he has been rusticating
for couple of weeks. He is now at the
home of Mrs. Purdy, end is not as we'll
as usual, being threatened with an at
tack of pneumonia.
The Shaw company has been playing
in California, Oregon, Washington and
Idaho for elk years, but has hitherto ac-
counted Corvallis too small a town to
visit. Mr. Shaw on arrival laid aside $75
that he expected to be loser in Corvallis,
but the company went away with all ex-
penses paid and several dollars ahead.
Accordingly Corvallis is to be added to
the company's regular route, and will be
visited again next season.

The Mastering Out.

Where the Oregon boys will be mus
tered out is the exclusive topic OF con-
versation on the streets. The report to-
day that they had voted unanimously to
be mustered out in San. Francisco was
received here with some salts acti IN on
account of the dig saving, and the gem
eral sentiment that Portland was trying
to get them for show. The heading in
the 0regonian today "Want No Receipt
ion" was an Insult to their manhood.
Reception has nothing to do with it. 1t is
a matter of business. They will particu-
larly rejoice at reception from their
own people, which they will receive en-
Enthusiastically.
Mrs. Capt. Phillips received a dis.
patch from Capt. Phillips this morning
Announcing his safe arrival ami that
they would probably be mustered out in
San Francisco, also requesting her to
join him there, which she will probably
do.
1t is gratifying to learn that all the
men arrived safe and we'll.
