MARRIAGE A FAILURE.
Double Tragedy With a Much Married
Couple as Principals.

Double Tragedy With a Much Married
Couple as Principals.
WEST ScIo, Ore, Feb. 4.-Otto Serf-
ling, farmer living near this city, shot
and killed his wife this morning and
then killed himself by sending bullet
through his brain. The couple had only
been married about one year. The wo-
man was Serfling's third wife. The deed
is supposed to have been prompted by
jealousy. The family had been to q
party in the neighborhood and on their
return home the husband called his wife
into room, and after an exchange of
words, he committed the deed.
Serfiing married his wife, whose name
was Mrs. Lydia Johnson, in Portland,
about a year ago, he being her fifth hus-
band and she his third wife. They did
not live happily together and Mrs. Serf-
ling left him but returned again. Last
night party was given at a neighbours
house and Serfiing went eaaly in the
evening. When his wife came, he arose
from card table and after whispering
something to her left for home.
About 2:20 in the morning Mrs.
Serfling and his five children returned
home, Serfling was waiting in the bed
room with a shotgun and an ak beside
him and a revolver in his hand. When
his wife entered he shot her three times
in the head and then blew out his own
brains. The deed was premeditated, as
he was heard to remark several days
ago that he intended to kill himself on
account of trouble with his wife.

Pure Narcotic pesth.

Under chloroform, as under all an@s-
thetic gases and vapors, there is a mode
Of death which may be called the final
or natural. 1t need never be produced,
and never could be except under the
most unskillful management, and 1t is q
long time in its progress. When death
does occur in this manner it is by the
slow extinction of the natural animal
zymosis, and is illustrated, as to method,
perfectly by the simple experiment of
gradually eEtinguishing candle in a
confined space by introducing vapor of
chloroform into the air that fills the
space.
1t can be illustrated also by the ex-
pertinent of stopping ordinary fermenta-
tion by the presence of chloroform. and
even by the simpler process of using
chloroform vapor as preservative Of
animal tissues from decomposition. All
anesthetics are open to kill in this man
ner, but that is the safest an9sthetic
which puts out life in no other manner,
which does not, that is to say, cause
either of the refexes Of spasmodic char
acter during administration. .-Asclepiad.

PANAMA, Feb, 4.-There has been a
serious riot at Bogota, which lasted two
days. 1t is said 100 men were killed
and 500 wounded. The riot was not
political. The trouble grew out of the
publication in La Cristina of an article
by X. Ignacio Gutierrez, professor in a
local Jesuit college, alleging widespread
ignorance among the laboring classes.
The artisans rose en- masse; mob of
about 400 gathered about the house of
Gutierrez, stoned the building and
broke the windows and doore. The
police were driven away. They re-
turned with reinforcements and q
collision occurred in which shots
were exchanged: the police were vic
torious. Another fight occurred later in
the day, but the rioters dispersed. The
next evening the workmen gathered by
thousands, overpowered the police and
were for while in full possession of
the city. The newspaper Offices were
sacked and general assault was COM
menced on the police barracks. The
government called out the military, and
