Death entered the home of William Mac
kay last Sunday morning at 10 o'-clock and
claimed & loving wife and mother. The
funeral occurred Tuesday morning at St.
Mary's church, of which Mrs. Mackay was
a member, and the remains were interred-in j
the Catholic cemetery. . Mrs. Mackay,
whose maiden name was Theresa M. Mc-

years later they started on their long and
perilous voyage by way of Panama, bound
for Corvallis, Oregon, where they arrived
2Tov. 3Q, 1864. The next year she and her
hu-sband moved to their homestead near To
ledo, on Yaqnina bay. Hero tbey resid d
continuously until Mr. Mfickay wa3 elected
sheriff of Benton, necessitating his residing
in Corvuliis. Mrs. Mackay leaves a hus
band and eight daughters to mourn b:r de
mise. The deceased has a brother living on
Coos bay and a sister in Iowa.
Few can realize what it is'to be an invalid
for over seventeen years and what must
have been endured by the deceased during
her long hours of affliction. Her death was
caused by a continued attack of nervous
prostration, yet during all her pain and suf
fering she was resigned to what she could
not control. A zealous Christian, she died
in the faith she had known since childhood.
Many friends mourn her ioss and extend
their sympathy to the bereaved family.

The Corvalil3 public will note with regret
that the Northwest Fire and Marine Iusur
ance Co. has determined to wind up its bus
iness acd retire from the iosurase Held.
The insurance' business on this coast has
ben auprotitable for eeveral years and the ;
Northwest has made a gallant tight a;ainst !
these advei-se conditions, but was nnally
compelled to sucenmb to them. F. M.
Johnson, who has been the company's agent
ia this city for several years, ha3 arranged
with-the iE:na Insurance Company of Hart
ford, Conn., assets $ 11,000,000, to take np
all Northwest polieios written in his agency.
The iStna, as everyone knows who is at all
familiar with the iasnnince business, is one
ot the ollasfc ana bes-t-irsanced . companies
in the world. On aocoant of the absolute
security iufnisiied by tha JEtJia, it is a uiat-
ter of congratnbtion to Northwest policy'
holders that Mr. Johnson was able to make
so forturs-te ftjn arrangement without loss to
his patroi.8. The Nor :hwes, with its
50,0C) deposit wih the stita treasurer and
other l.;rga nsseLa, will, in all probability,
bonble to meet ai:y losse3 occurring while
ita affairs are being sctt'ed up by Receiver '
Allistcn. The real cause of the collapse
was the result of heavy leases sustained in
the state of Wihiotou during ths year
18S1.- From the effect of this heavy drain
on its asots and the continued depressed!.
conJition of underwritina, the 'company was
unable to make mou.iy for its stockholdat,
and so concluded to retire from the field
altogether. The Northwest' has done a
large business ia Corvallis and was a'wsys
very prompt in the ieStlement of its losses.
Stock iu the company to the amount of
about $10, CCS was held by citizens of
Corvallis. .

A. G. Long, of Portland, representing
the Fire Extinguisher Manufacturing Co.,
of Chicago, was in Corvallis yesterday, in

Such an engine as would be suited to the
needs of Corvallis would cost $1,975,
.These extinguishers are coming into gen

light and oan be gotten to a fire with much
more ease and rapidity Ithan with an onli.

which Mr. LoDg is desirous of selling to
Corvallis, has two 35-gallon cylinders, the
content! of the two being equal to 2,800
gallons ef .water. That is, each gallon' of
the chemical preparation contained in the
cylinders is equal to 40 g.illons of water.
The chemical extinguisher is designed es
pecially for use at small tires and does very
effeotive service. ' I The . cylinders are
charged to about 100 ponnds pressure to

Frank Hughes, a prominent resident of
Lobster precinct, made the Gazetts office a
pleasant call this week. . Mr. Hughes is
considerably, interested, in getting a law
passed to compel the recording of all con
veyances, especially patents from the gov
ernment. : He says the Southern Pacific
company has title to several thousand acres
of land in the Alsea valley) which rernaius
unassessed from year to year, because the
assessor is unable to locate-and describe the
lands, owing to ; the company's . failure to
have its patents' recorded. Such a bill as
Mr. Hugbes suggests could hardly become a
law, and if it did its operation would - work
numerous hardships. The tronbla might be
avoided by an act ef congress which, upon
the granting of a patent, would . require all
government land offices to advise the clerks
of the several counties .in ' their respective
districts of the issuance of such patent, de
scribing the lands so conveyed.' By the
operation of this plcn it' would be impossible
for any lands, specially the large grants, to
escape taxation. . 1 t

The Best Medicine.
J. O. Wilson, Contractor and
Builder, Sulphur Springs, Texas,
thus speaks of Ayer's Pills : .
" Ayer's Pills are the best medicine I
ever tried; a fid, in my judgment, no.
better general remedy could be devised.
I have used them in my family and
recommended them to my friends and
employes for more than twenty years.
To my certain knowledge, many cases
of the following complaints have been
completely and - -
Permanently Cured
; by the use of Ayer's Pllls.alone : Third -
', day chills, dumb ague, bilious fever,
Sick headache, rheumatism, flux, dys-
; pepsia, constipation, and hard colds. I
know that a moderate nse of Ayer's -Pills,
continued for a few days or weeks,
as the nature of the complaint required; ,
would be found an absolute cure for the
disorders I have named above." ;
"I have been lolling medicine for
eight years, and I can safely say that
Ayer's Pills give- better satisfaction
than any other Pill I ever sold." J. J.
