It Is the duty of tho soliciting com mittees to canvass their respective lo calities at onco and report to the board tho amount they are nblo to raise in support of the big fair. Tho state gives $1SOO to bo distributed as premiums for the best displays of agricultural products. This Is given on condition tho county or counties receiving it furnish the necessary grounds and buildings and of course, show a disposition to make tho most of tho state money by putting forth reasonable effort and offering at tractions additional to the state premiums. Thoro Is somo ropairing of tho grand stand and pavilion on tlio Marshileld grounds to put thorn in condition to meet tho conditions of tho stato requirement and thcro aro racing purses to guaranteo as well as other premium awards to bo mot by tho local committees. It Is tlio purposo of tho Coos and Curry committee to hold a four days' fair and race meet and tho determination to make it tho greatest fair over held west of tho coast rango of mountains. It is proposed to tako ndvantngo of the opportunity to get up a fair that cannot bo duplicated In tho north west. It Is tho plan to havo a coal palaco in which tho visitor from Pittsburg or Now York will feel at homo. Thero will bo apples from hundreds of orchards. Thero will bo potatoes enough to load down tho steam schooner Nan Smith. Thero will bo rolls of yellow butter and cheeses largo as cart wheels. Thero will bo pyramids of vegetables and bowers of (lowers. There will bo wood products that will equal tho forestry exhibit at tho Louis and Clark fair. There will bo llvo stock of nil kind. Thero will bo oxhiblts of art and fancy work and It is tho purposo of tho conunlttoo to bring together tho finest aggregation of track horses over nssoniblpd on tho ocean sldo ot tho mountains. Thero will bo speakers of note to lecturo on agricultural, horticultural and other topics ovonlngs, and sing ers of fame, and other music besides a number of now and iiotoI features. There possibly has nover worked to gether a more earnest and competent lot ot men baling fpr their object tho lioldlne of a successful fair, than the Cooa and Gurry county board.

INTOXICATED ON SUNDAY No Evidence of Physical Vlolenco Is Found on tho Dead Man's Person at Examination. CORONER'S JUHY VERDICT. We the jury And that George NIcols came to his death through tho use of morphine poison. That George Nichols, owner of tho Fish and who was found dead in tho boat yesterday morning on South In let, came to his death through tho use of opiates was adduced from tho evidence taken at the coroner's in quest held in the Marshileld under taking parlors on Front street this morning. Ira Wheeler, tho first wit ness called, and who was alono with Nichols on tho Fish tho last night the latter spent on earth, gavo nothing of any importance in his testimony. The two Intended to mako a trip viown tho coast on the Fish, The"1 Vent to sleep some Unto about mid night and Wheeler awakened about 8 o'clock Wednesday morning. As ho did not pass liy Nichols' berth on his wny Out ho did not wake him as tlio latter was known to bo a heavy sleeper. Somo time about 10 o'clock breakfast was prepared and tho cook, "Snowball," was sent to notify Nich ols. He returned saying tho man was dead. Investigation showed this to be true. Wheeler's evidence devel oped that Nichols had been Intoxi cated Sunday and had drunk an ab normal amount of whiskey; also that ho was an habitual drinker. The first hint of his addiction to drugs was when Dr. Mlngus questioned Wheeler regarding Nichols sleeping habits. Tho question brought out tho fact that ho would frequently sleep twelve and eighteen hours with out waking. Tho evidenco of John Larsen, the next witness, was practically supple mentary to Wheeler's. It was he who called Nichols and found him dead. Ho also testified that tho latter was a heavy drinker. Dr. G. E. Dix, who examined the body and organs, testified that the former was well nourished and show ed no marks of physical violence and that tho latter wero in healthy con dition with tho oxcoptlon ot the heart, tho muscles of which wero soft and flabby, tho result of liquors and other stimulants. Answering A. Mat son, one of tho jurymen, ho said that thero was not sufficient evidence from his examination to assign tho causo of tho death. F. C. Birch, tho pharmacist in John Preuss's drug store, gavo tho most importanco evidence. Tho dead man's stomach and a samplo of water wero turned over to him for Investi gation. Ho nindo three tests of tho water and found traces of opium poison. His tests of tho stomach liquid substantiated tho water tests. In tho stomach tests tho reaction in answer to tho test chemicals was de cidedly more intense than in tho water test. Dr. Dix, on being re called, testified that a victim of tho opium or morphine habit could pass away without convulsions oi dis turbance of any kind, tho end gen erally coming while tho victim is under tho stupor produced by the drug. At tho Instance of A. Matson, Ira Wheeler was recalled and questioned regarding Nichols' drug habits. While ho had nover detected tho latter us ing them ho had been cautioned In sovcral porsons not to go to sea wit.' him as ho was llablo to drop dead at any tlmo becauso "ho used b thing stronger than whiskey," ly for tho good of this section of tho state, and deservo all tho support they ask. At tho next meeting of tho board, which will bo at tho Chamber of Coinmorco rooms on Wednesday, March 4, tho premium list and spoel programs will bo made up and of details attended to.
