Probable Suicide.

Mary Ellen butcher, married
woman, died at her home four miles
southwest of Philomath Saturday
afternoon, and the circumstances
were such as to demand a coroner's
inquest. While the coroner's jury
could not obtain evidence enough
to return a definite verdict, it is the
general belief of those who heard
the testimony that her death was a
case of suicide or something worse.
The' woman died in convulsions
and it is believed that the convul-
sions were the effect of some poison
purposely taken or administered.
This opinion is strengthened by the
knowledge that twelve days ago she
took or was given carbolic acid that
nearlv ended her life. At that time
DR.. Newth was sent for and on the
road out, met a man who to his
inquiry for the direction to the
house replied, "You needn't bother
going there. That's my wife. Let
her sweat it out"
At the inquest the husband spoke
of his dead wife in a cruel and in
sulting manner and testified that
he left the house an hour or so be-
fore she died, because my presence
was not appreciated and made hel
fussy." He manifested anything
but regret concerning her death
and his heartless demeanor aroused
the indignation of the jury and the
neighbols.
When asked why she should wish
to commit suicide, he replied
"She didn't like to live on ranch
She wanted to be in town where she
could fool around buying fancy
drygoods and get icecream and sod;
water every day.
The husbands name is E. B
Butcher. Not only did he mani
fest the utmost indifference in re
gard to his wife's tragic death, bu
he is anxious to get rid of his chill
dren and spoke TO them Saturda,
afternoon about sending them to al
orphans home. He has bargainec
for the farm on which he now live
and made deposit on the purchas
price. Mrs. Butcher was buriet
near the Simonson place Sunda,
afternoon.-Corvallis Times.

Troublesome to the Army.

During the civil war, as we'll as
in our late war with Spain, diar-
rhoea was one of the most trouble
some diseases the army had to con-
tend with. In many instances it
became chronic and the old soldiers
still suffer FROM it. Mr.. David
Taylor of Wind Ridge, Greene Co.,
Pa, is one of these. He uses
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy and says he
never found anything that would
give him such quick relief. 1t is

rIother Tells How She Saved He.
Little Daughters Life.

I am the mother of eight children
and have had a great deal of ex-
perience with medicines. Last
summer my little daughter had the
dysentery in its worst form. We
thought she would die. I tried
everything l could think of, but
nothing seemed to do her any good.
/ saw by an advertisement in our
paper that Chambe, lain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
was highly recommended and sent
and got bottle at once. 1t prov.
ed to be one Of the very best medi-
cines we ever had in the house. 1t
saved my little daughters life. 1
am anxious for every mother to
know what an excellent medicine
it is. Had known it at first it
would have saved me great deal
of anxiety and my little daugter
much suffering. Yours truly, Mrs.

FIncrnn Bound over.

Timothy Fineran was tried in police court
yesterday for holding up and robbing Gus
Stevens on the morning of December 2.
After the testimony was all in Judge Bah
cock bound Fneran over to the district
court in the sum of $1,000. The taking of
testimony occupied the entire time Of the
court yesterday. Assistant County Attorney
Grossman, assisted by Attorney w. C. Lam
bert, conducted the examination of wit
nesses for the state while Patrick & Cohn
looked after Fneran's interests. Stevens
went on the stand and gave a detailed de-
scription of the holdup. He said that about
6 o'clock of the morning in question he
was starting down the viaduct steps at
Swifts when three men jumped on him and
threw him down. While two of the men
held his arms Fineran went through his
pockets, taking his watch and money.
Stevens testimony was very explicit and
was not shaken to any extent by the cross
examination. Fineran's defense was an allbi
but the judge seemed to prefer Stevens
statement to that of Finerans friends and
consequently bound the defendant over for
further examination

CALLS GOD FOR PROTECTION
Prof. Dwyer, During Heated Religious
Discussion at Butte, Drops Dead
In Singular Manner.

BUTTE, Mont, Dec 7.-Prof Malachy
Dwyer, an old resident of Butte, formerly
of Ogdensburg, N Y during a heated re-
ligious discussion with J. S. Charlsbois.
the divine healer, attempted to strike the
latter and Charebois called on God to pro.
tect him and Dwyer dropped dead The men
were in the public library at the time.
Charlebos is from Helena and is editor of
the Living Truth. During the discussion
with Dwyer he made the statement that he
had read the figures 1866" marked on the
forehead of the pope and Dwyer said they
had an antl-C Christ significance and called
Charlebois a liar and made a rush for him
with upraised hand to strike him Charlie
bois says he stood up and called on God
to protect him and before Dwyer could
strike he dropped dead. Dwyer was 6S
years old. The coroner's inquest this even
ing developed the fact that death was due
TO heart failure, produced by excitement.

SHASTA HhS : DANCING EGG.
California County Furnishes n Curt
OsitS In the Insect Line.

California County Furnishes Curl
OsitS In the Insect Line.
Shasta county, California is the land OF
wonders. They have volcano out there
that the natives brag about from infancy
to the grave. They have copper mines that
beat all creation and the inhabitants have
even been known to boast OF the size and
ferocity Of their tleas
The latest is the dancing egg. 1t is laid
by some as yet Undetermined insect on the
leaves OF oak tire ss Masses of these eggs
cling to the und erside of the leaf and as
they advance toward maturity they drop 10
the ground and dance about like electrical
automata. BY holding an oak twig con-
tanning any number of eggs to ones ear a
cracking sound may be heard like the spit
ting of electric sparks. The shell contains
a tiny grub, working for release.
The curiosity is attracting a great deal Of
local attention. i'm many towns collections
of the eggs are on exhibition. When laid
on table these eligs bound about and spring
into the air, sometimes TO a height of sixteen
inches. They are particularly active in the
early morning.
The theory is advanced thai this embryonic
parasites presence in such abundance is
probably due to the absence of its natural
enemy, the Commoh oher insect life, which long
ago fell a victim to sulphur smoke and
arsenical fumes. The latest insect novelty
takes rank with the sulphur bug which is at
.Nme in the redhst roaster piles. This, at
least. is the story told by the veracious in
habitants Of Shasta county.

night in company with Cummings. It will
be remembered that after the shooting OF
Cummings Garner ran to Thompeons saloon
and requested that the police be notified
that fight was in progress up the street a
short distance. Garner then disappeared.
When questioned by the police Garner de-
clined to talk, but it is understood that
plenty OF evidence against him has been
secured by the officers working on the case.
a young woman has been found who was
closely associated with both Garner and
Cummings and she is reported to have
stated that several crimes were committed
by the pair The money obtained by steal
ing was generally spent for liquor.
Last evening Mayor Ensor had an inter-
view with Garner and Garner admitted that
he was with Cummings when the latter was
shot. Garner, however, denied that Trumble
was tackled for the purpose Of robbery. He
insists that Cummings thought Trumble
was a man with whom he had had some
trouble and jumped on him for the purpose
Of beating him. Garner said he got out OF
the way soon after the shooting as pos
sible because he had been in trouble be-
fore and did not want to be arrested or held
as a witness
