Tho entire membership of tho
.joard of trustees which Is a guaran
tee of business-like mnnagenlPnt and
careful handling of the funds.
Tho porsonnel of the board of
trustees, which Is Identical with the
Ocal board, follows:
P. 'P. Norton, Marshflcld.
L. J. Simpson, North Bend.
Steven GalHer, Dandon.
A. H. Powers, Marshfleld.
A. J. Sherwood, Coqullle.
W. E. Pike, Myrtle Point.

Tho most important preliminary
stops taken by tho new organization
"was tho appointment of soliciting

ICorr and T. T. Land.

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.

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.
