Ho plasters it down on his nose and in tho morning the moisture is evaporated from the putty-like application, which peels off in nam enkea leaving a red nose as wmte as a lily.

A middle aged woman went "to a prominent physician in San Diego, (Jal., not long ago and asked him to amputate her two great toes. He ex amined them aud assured her there was nothing wrong with them, and said that he wonldu't cut them off.

Her toes were her own, she said, to do what she pleased with, aud she would give 8300 to have them off. The doctor refused and the woman went in quest of some one with less conscience. A San Diego newspaper says she got some one to do the job successfully; for two weeks later she went to San Francisco wearing the best pair of No. 2s that could be bought in San Diego.

GMlftren Cry&rPltcliBr's Castoria SHOT IK THE BAOK. A Man Killed Yesterday Morning. Statements Kecardins The Tragedy. A dreadful occurrence took place in the second atorjr of the Weloh blook, on the north side of Water street, yesterday morning nt 1050 o'clock, wherein a man tost nis me. Tho man's name is Neil Living stone, known as "Scotty," aged 54 years; ho was employed at the read ing room of the Columbia River Fish erman s rrotective union, ana uvea in a scow alongside. He was a native of Glasgow, Scotland, and is spoken of very highly by Alex. Sutton, A. Seafeldt, and others who were well ac quainted with bim. One of bis most intimate friends was a young man named Jas. Ingleton, now em ployed as fireman on the tng Astoria. A few months ago, a young lady ta whom Mr. Ingleton had been en gaged, came out .from the Barbadoes, aud they were married. Livingstone was a frequent visitor at their rooms and was often engaged in friendly help around the house. He was an eccentric man, and in hi3 liking for Ingleton would go over to his place to assist in any way he could. Yesterday morning he was at their rooms, Nos. 12 and 13, over Foard & Stokes store. Ho w a engaged in nailing a piece of blue glazed muslin across a transom over the door of the sitting room, the door being locked on the inside, when suddenly the muffled sound or a nsTOL shot Was heard. Livingston came out of the room, ran diagonally across the oassaee way and bursting into rooms 8 nnd 9, oconpied by Mr. and Mrs. Osbecken, hung nimsoit on tuo Ded. Blood was pouring from his mouth. Mrs. Osbecken, startled beyond meas ure by the bloody apparition, pulled the man off tho bed; he dropped on the floor and died in a pool of blood by tne bedside. Mrs. Iugleton was met by some by standers coming down the stairs, a hatchet in her hand and blood streaming from a gbnstly wound in her head. She was taken to Dr. Ful ton's office where it was ascertained that her wounds were not dangerous. Her skull is fractured on the right forehead and thero are two other wounds in her head, apparently caused by tho corner of a hatchet. She was removed to St. Mary's hos pital. The body of the unfortunate Liv ingstone was removed to coroner Sur prenant's rooms. A wound almost directly over his heart showed where the fatal bullet bad emerged. The pistol from which the cartridge was fired is a Smith & Wesson's ham merless revolver. When taken charge of after the shooting there were five cartridges in it and one empty cham ber. No one saw the shooting. Mrs. Osbecken being interviewed yester day morning gave her knowledge of it as reported. Mrs. Alice Atchison, whe lives next door to Mrs. Osbecken, was in the latter a back room at the time, and was the first to go toward the door when it was llung open. She says that when she heard the disturbance she came out of the back room and there saw, in the open door, Mrs. Ingleton being shoved forward by Livingstone; that he bad the col lar of her dress grasped in one hand, and with the other had a hatchet EAISED OVEB HEAD As it to strike; that sho (Mrs. Ate bi son), overcome by tho horror of the scene, turned her head away, and when she looked again, Livingstone was extended on the bed, his life blood flowing from his throat, and Mrs. Ingleton was flying down the stairs on to the street. Mrs. Ingleton was next interviewed from which it appeared that Livingston was on a chBir, nail ing the muslin on the tran som, that he called to her to give him tho hatchet which was lying near by. That he leaned over to take the hatchet from her band; that sho had a revolver in her hand, and as sho passed up tho hatchet to him the handle struck and discharged the pistol, the bullet striking him in the breast; that he fell aud struggling to bis feet dragged her to the door of Mrs.Osbccken's room, inflicting oneof the wounds with the hatohet on her head on the way, that at the door he let go of her and flung himself on the bed. Thero wore a dozen different theo ries regarding the matter, but the above were all the facts procurable. So soon as the news was received T. S. Loughroy got the Winona aud went over to linappton alter Mr. in gleton. Tho news to him was a double shock, tho death of his most intimate inend, and in suou a man ner. Coroner finmrennnt imnnnelad n jury, subpoenaed witnesses, nnd at seven o'clock last evening held THE COBONEB'8 INQUEST. At 7 p. si., coroner Surprenant swore in the jury, composed of Messrs. Wright. Hare, Hallorac, 8haw, Brown and Logan, who viewed the body. An examination, eondnet. ed by Dr. J. A. Fulton, disclosed the mat mat tne man had been shot in the back instead of in the'breast, and that the bullet had tiassed through the body, emerging on the left side about half way between the collar none ana tue heart, dropping lusido ais uannei snirt, wnere it was tounu. Upon this unexpected disclosure the jury concluded to adjourn till three o'clock this afternoon to hear testimony, and, it possible, sift the matter to the bottom.

Coughed it up. A large pieco of fine tallow was lying at the corner of Front and Ben ton streets, rort llenton, the other day. A conple of honest appearing natives of the cow boy persuasion were basking in tne sunlight at the same corner, when n stranger nnd a pilgrim came sauntering nlong taking in the sights.
