Reduction In Water Rates.

We are proposing to reduce the rates
on water and to arrange with all con-
sumers SO that all may be treated the
same. To do this we must insist on all
bills being in advance, as our rules and
regulations call for, and as other cities
require. We have no desire to have
trouble with any consumer, but to treat
all alike our rules must be enforced, IF
anything should happen that water is
not used after being paid for the money
will be refunded.
Very truly yours,
CORVALLIS WATER Co.

His Nurse Told of the Efforts That
He Made.
Pittsburg, July 3.-The investigation
by the coroner as to the cause of the
; death of the late Recorder ]. O. Brown
was resumed to-day.
Miss Susie Mclean, a member of the
family with whom Mr.. Brown boarded,
testified that when DR.. McKelvey was
called Brown was in a stupor, having
taken fifteen trional powders. DR.. Nc
Kelvey gave orders that all medicines
in Browns room. and his revolver,
were to be removed, and that he should
not be left alone at any time.
The witness told of Browns efforts to
get her to leave the room. She finally
did go, and watched him from the hall
way. He went to a drawer in a bu-
reau and took out a small box The
witness went in and after a struggle
with him. in which he displayed I'M
usual strength, got the box from him.
She noticed the word, Cyanide" on the
box.
Miss Mclean said once when she
pretended to withdraw she saw him go
to the chiffonier, where the revolver
had been kept and make search APP
Darently for it.
Brown was left alone at times during
Sunday He died that afternoon.
While it was not stated by the Wit
ness, the inference was that Mr.. Brown
had secured poison during a moment
he was left alone
The coroner asked the witness if Mr..
Brown had talked about going back
to his wife. The witness answered:
about two or three weeks before
he died l heard him say he would die
before he would go back to live with
his wife"
Miss Nettie Mclean told of Mr..
Brown going into her room and sehrch-
ing where he knew she kept a revolt
yer. He asked her to give him re-
volver. She said she believed Brown
committed suicide because he said he
wanted to die and that he would be
dead before midnight Saturday.
