Cases of Diphtheria Connected With University The city health authorities have succeeded In checking the diphtheria plague to such extent that but four new cases were reported yesterday, in addition to the four cases pub lished Sunday. Some eight of the cases of quar antine bo far registered in tho ofllco of tho health officer have affected persons connected with the Univer sity. The homeB of Edith Allen, Harley Brown, Wlllard EolBom, Her bert Bushnell, Elizabeth Black, and Helen Hall have been placed under reBtrlctlon, although not all of tho students named have not been con fined by such. The wife of Profes sor Lawrence Fossler has been taken down with the disease and two daugh ters of Professor C. A. Bobbins aro taken down with the disease, the homes of both being under quar antine. Seventy-one cases make up tho total list of quarantine in the city. Agricultural Students Offered Jobs With Salaries of $2,000 to $2,400 Within the last three days, opportun ities have come to place three men in Agriculture in thre different states at salaries varying from $2,000 to $2,400. An extension man is needed in Mis souri where a maximum salary of $2, 000 can be paid. A professor of dairy ing is wanted In Oregon at a salary of from $2,000 to $2,500. A professor of Agronomy Is wanted In Nevada at a maximum salary of $2,400. These let ters indicate the demand for efficient men in all agricultural lines, and should encourage young men who de Blre such positions to specialize in some line of Agriculture. tn
