In doing the deed he displayed a will power that was remarkable. About four years ago a cancer ap peared on the face of the deceased. It gradually spread until it had eaten his .hin entirely off, and was spreading towards his eyes, causing a continual pain and agony that cannot be describ ed. Mr. Newman was 70 years of age. He came to the coast in 1849 during the gold excitement, and sinco then resided in Josephine county, until last November, wh- n he purchased the farm of Mr. Mcllhney and located on it. For sometime Mrs. Newman and her son had feared such an act, he hav ing at different times indicated that he contemplated it. A week ago he tried to knot an artery and puncture it, but failed, saying he would not attempt it again. Coroner J. M. Applewhite was sum moned and held an inquest over the remains which resulted in the follow ing verdict from the coroner's jury: We the undersigned being duly ... A .1... sworn, as a liny, 10 examine imu iuw death of William Newman, having in vestigated to the best: of our ability, come to the conclusion that William Newman came to his death by his own hand, by hanging.

Williamson The annual city election for the pur pose electing responsible citizens to fill the various offices necessary to run the I municipal affairs our city government for the ensuing year was held last Mon day. The weather was fine and the day passed off without an exciting in cident worthy of mention. In fact it was the most quiet city election held in Corvallis for several years. The principal fight was for mayor and treasurer, the remaining salaried of ficers under the provisions of the new city charter will be appointed by the new council. This partially accounts for the little interest taken in the election and the small vote cas1,, the number being only 333, while last year there were 643 votes cast or 310 more than this year, nearly twice as many. The new officers who will take their seats are Mayor, John Burnett, Coun cilman, Thomas Elin, the remaining officers were re elected. The follow ing is the result of the count: FOR MAYOR. Tohn Burnett 20y votes. J 1 A . h. M. Johnson 12 votes. Burnett s majority oo. FOR TEEASURER. Samuel Kitchens 169 votes. A. Cauthorn lb-! votes. Hitchen's majority 7. FOR COUNCILMAN 3RD WARD. J. R.

The ladies of the club are preparing to celebrate their eight anniversary at Job's Theatre on the eveninsr of Mav 29th. The ladies of this organization deserve much credit for their perseverance. We believe we are correct in making the assertion that, of all the ladies coffee clubs or anized in the various cities through out the Willamette valley eight years ago the Corvallis club is the only one in existence to-day. Rev. J. A. Hanna, of d ay's Har hor, formerly of this city, has gone to Eugene city to reside permanently with his daughter, Mrs. Humphrey. Mr: Hanna has been quite fortunate in real estate speculation on the Sound and has accumulated enough of these worldly goods to retire from' active business life.
