DEATH OF MRS "A FLOR.

Mrs Edward Tay Tor died at the Grand Union Hotel in New York on Tuesday Nov 25. Mrs Taylor, with her husband, lett Chicago to come to Peekskill to spend Thanksgiving with her husbands relatives. Mir Taylor had purchased tickets for himself and wife for return trip to San Francisco, and both started out in the best of health and spirits. While on the train journeying to New York, Mrs Taylor became ill. A physi- clan on the train was called and he was under the impression that pneumonia was the cause. Upon arriving at the Grand Union hotel, the hotel physician was called and he pronounced her case a critical one, and asked for consulta- tion. It was decided that an operation must be performed, or else she could not live "A hours; this was Friday morn ing. She survived the ordeal and 8 crisis was to have been reached Sunday night, but late Saturday night her favor able symptoms changed and her condl- tion became serious and she gradually sank until she died early Sunday morn ing. Their children were sent for but did not reach there until after her death. MT Taylor left Sunday night, at eight o'clock, with her remains for Chicago
 Only few enjoyed life as Mrs Taylor did, and not many had so much to live for as she had. It would fill a large space to tell the deeds of her noble life, during the 30 years of her sojourn in Chicago and Evanston. She leaves 8 husband and three children, and all Evanston to mourn her great loss, and untimely death. She was a sister-in-law of Mrs Levi w. Beckley of Canaan, Ct

The Deadly Aqua Tufiana.


 Secret and deadly poisons for the taking of human life have been manu- factured from time to time, and crimi- nal annals show that they have also been put to use. History records that on July 29, 1717, Addison, as secretary of state, addressed letter to the com missioners of customs in England re- quiring them to prevent the introduc- tion and sale of certain poisonous liquid of which the British envoys at Genoa and Naples had sent home &C., counts It appears from their letters that this liquid, called "aqua tunana, |" from the Greek woman who invented it, was introduced in large quantities into Italy, and also in part distilled there, and that it was extensively used for poison.
 It was asserted thsG 600 persons had been destroyed by it in Naples alone, and that many persons had been pun ished capitally for selling or admins tering it. The cs1lprits engaged in mak- ing and disposing of the poison made the singular plea that their object was a good one-namsly, that they desired to establish peace and good will in the world by removing all obnoxious per sons, such as unruly sons, troublesome wives and so on. The authorities could not see the case snaotly in that light, and they used every e6ort to pre- veuts3uxther trafac in tho poison, hut iAaReQB nle wath snly spas&A susssee,

Torpid Liver.

If the liver is inactive, and conse- quently fails to make bile enough, the poisonous waste clements which should be eliminated in this manner are re- tained. The bile is not retained, be- cause it is not made The materials for the bile are not bile, any more than alkalies and oils are soap. One of the clements of bile is a resinous substance, called cholesterine If this is not car ried off properly very serious and some times fatal consequences follow. In the liver itself it accumulates and forms gall stones, diseased condition accompanied with the greatest pain. Gall stones are sometimes so nearly pure resin that they can be ignited and burned.

OLD "REEL FooT."-The two men
who had killed the old grizzly bear
"Reel Foot" had the stuffed skin on
exhibition in Eugene Wednesday and
Thursday. The bear had been known
for 27 years and in that time had de-
stroyed thousands of dollars worth of
stock! They secured the standing re-
ward of $500 for killing him. A part
of one of his forefeet had been torn off
in a trap which caused him to leave a
peculiar trail and give him the name.

past and grain harvest commences.

WAS NOT O. X.

Wednesday evening a well dressed
man whose stage name is E. G. Boards
ley, and claiming to represent the
Pacific Coast Real Estate Company, OF
Portland, applied for good team at
the City Stables, with which to take a
drive into Linn county con business. y
MIR. Eglin's late experience with Peck
and others has rendered him careful to
whom he hires teams, so he inquired
the name of the applicant and the
nature of his business The real estate
man gave his name and stated that his
business was of private nature The
answers were not satisfactory to- MIR.
E., who Informed his would be patron
that walking in Linn county was ex-
cellent. Beardsley insisted on having
a turnout but the iveryman argued
tsthat better-looking men than you
have stolen horses and buggies from
me-" and so dismissed him. Present
ly the real estate man returned with a
note introducing Mr. Beardsley, stating
that he was o. r., and signed by Mr.
Wilkins, proprietor of the Occidental
hotel. who evidently desired to accom-
modate gentlemanly-appearing GUS
TTn0r thIc
the team was obtained. When
Beardsley returned about noon, how
ever, he left the team Oh back street:
went to the hotel, stealthily distracted
his grip therefrom, drove TO the West
Side depot, reaching there in time to
board the train as it pulled out for
Portland, having secured boy to re-
turn the team to the stable Mr.
Eglin and Mr.. Wilkins, who were
both at the depot compared notes and
it was found that he left unpaid his
board bill, his stable bill, and several
small sums of money borrowed from
friendly real estate men in Corvallis.
Prompt action on the part of the credi-
tors caused the arrest of the ''wily
dealer in dirt" when the train arrived
at Independence. Beardsley was per
haps awarethat no criminal action could
be brought against him, but the pub
icity which would be gwen the affair
by his return to Corvallis was what
probably induced him to at once make
a settlement with his friends here.
This lutte episode will increase Mr..
Beardsley's celebrity and inspire more
confidence in the agents of the Pacific
Coast Real Estate Go.

ll:2O a. m., and returning leave AL
bany at l:l0p. m. This will give con-
nections with the Yaquina, the South.

"OUR BOW. "

The attache Of the GAZETTE Office,
next to the editor in the order Of sac
cession, is absent at the Bay, and when
Mr. Conover was called away it became
necessary to drag the wraer out of the
lnk-pot, as it were, and place him in
the editorial chair. The transition
was sudden, and like other high posi-
tions, the temporary editorship of the
GAZETTE was unsought by the incum-
bent. Why he was chosen to fill the
responsible position in prefe, ence to
any Of the lawyers or others who under
stand SO well how to run newspaper
he does not know, unless it is upon the
theory that an honest man is the
noblest work of God and that such
only are qualified to preside over the
columns of great newspapers.
The temporary editor will not mark
out well defined course to be pur-
sued by the paper under his manage
ment, but will deal with the great
questi ons of the day as circum-
stances seem to justify when--the drift
ofpublic opinion is fully ascertained.
The occasion may not have called
for :'Bow," but it is made partly be-
cause there is little satisfaction in being
great, if only for short time, unless it
is known; and partly as joke ON the
delinquent subscribers who always hail
with delight an indication of change
of newspaper proprietoTs. With the
new man they can always affect COM
promise upon what the books show that
they owe
Finally, it must be said, in accord
ance with IL long established custom,
"that during the absence of the editor
the shortcomings Of the paper should be
attributed to the Office devil"

US that Albany is not alone in the

people growl because the o. P. is not
going ahead; but it seems that several
other roads are also slow about start
ing, which, in fact is the history of all
railroad building.-Albany Democrat.
