A Deadly Poison.
Tim root of wild parsnip I a deadly
poison. It will kill cattle that est it.
The Corvallis Times says they led some
to a calf oot at the college Thursday
morning and the call Is as dead a a
dornick. It lived less than three houis
after the plant was administered, and
died almost before tbe experimenters
had time to administer remedies. The
next morning another tert was made.
All the favorite antidotes were In readi
ness, and aa soon as the effects ot the
poison were manifest, tbe remedies
were applied. They did no good and the
calf, a lecond sacrifice to science, ex
pired in a little over to and a half
hours after swallowing the bul. In
each case a bulb the shspe ol an apple
and the aiseof an ordkary door knob
was fed. The root was a dark reddish
brown, brittle, snd with a strong smell
of parsnip. A third of tbe bottom f
each bulb was covered with fleshy root
lets I.liue and blue vllriol, for pray
ing purposes at Maratera'.

A Presentation.
Col. W. II. Telor of the Victory
Piacer Mining Company, of Glendal
an I hi foreman, Mr. James Htevsnson,
were guest at the McClallen this week.
On Tuesday evening thiy were loth
treated to a little surprise party. The
piilor of the hotel were filled with
guest among whom were some of th
workmen from the Victory mine. At aa
unexpected moment, for Colonel Taylor,
Mr. Stevenson a'epped up lo him and in
nice little si each prtsented him, en
lit-half of the tmplojes oflh Victory
mine, with a nice pin. It was a wish
bone design with a foor-.'esf clofsr and
diamond far a t enter piece. The recipi
ent was overcome and Ms speech fsiled
him. The proof ol appreciation oa tbe
part of the men was tbe, more keenly
felt by the donee because of the fact
that he bad been informed before re
turning to the mine that if he came
back there it would be at the risk of hi
life. He had been absent aome time
and the property was in litigation and
the men had not received all the pay
due them. His reception oa bis istorn
ith bon tires and anvil-firlog was evi
dence that be. at least, was not hsld
responsible ty the employ's for the
condition of things and this last act was
the crowning point. A receiver I now
in possession of the property, but it bad
been worked for &0 day preceding
March 1st by Mr. Stevenson with
authority lo pay the men with the pro
ceeds and be had succeeded in paying 70
per cent of the amoonta doe. II might
be well to state here that alter Ibe
presentation to Col. Taylor one ot tbe
men stepped up te Mr. Buvensun snd
handed him a gold chain simply saing
"the boys said give this to yon." It
was now Mr. Stevenson's time to bloih
and he did, bke a bashful girl.
Col. Taylor informed tbe representa
tive of tbe PLAiSDXALta that be bad re
turced trom the Eaat prepared lo pay
off all the iodebteJneeao! tbe company
and to put 200 men to work on 30 mil
ol new ditches. But on hi arrival
fouod that he had been removed by Ibe
board of directors as general manager of
the company and the property tied up

The Gates Ajar.
Lint tUKgeatedon learning ot tbe death ol
Pr. Langlcjr Hall, of Oakland.
It seems not very loog ago,
That one ot heaven's pearly gates
Was opened by an angel fair.
Who ever by its portals wait.
Tbe gate ciosed not, but stood ajar,
To welcome other loved ones home ;
These wbo were near tbe mother's heart.
Those wbom on earth she called her
own.
Now once again that gate ajar,
Is opened wide to welcome In
The sged father, who with joy
Has entered those bright realms
within.
This father more tbau eighty years
Lived with bis dear ones bsre below ;
Gladly sharing all their joy,
Mingling in life's weal and woe.
Gladly he laid down earth's cares,
To him tbe distance seemed not far
To where the wife and mother dwell,
Beyond the shining gate ajar.
That heavenly gate still stands sjar.
There father too and mother wait.
To welcome home their loved ones all,
When anaels hands shall open tbe
gate. Lvpia.
