ENDS HIS OWN LIFE
Monmouth Druggist Drinks Carbolic
Add In Fit of Temporary
Despondency.
Lying huddled in his bed. T, S Per
kins, of Monmouth, was found dead
by Dr. J. M. Crowley at 8 o'clock last
nignt. ua the floor near bv. an emtitv
two-ounce bottle and a teacup contain
ing a lew drops of carbolic acid told
planily a tale of suicide. Perkins was
about 45 years old and had been in
the drug business in Monmouth for 14
years. It Is believed that he took his
life in a fit of despondency.
Mr. Perkins telephoned to the bov
who was working in his drugstore
yesterday morning, saying he would
not be in the store durlnsr the dav.
The clerk became uneasy and sent
vr. Crowley to the Perkins home about
10 o'clock. At that time there was
nothing in Perkins' condition or
actions to arouse the Doctor s suspic
ion, and he left the house little dream
ingof the tragedy that was to follow,
Perkins was not seen bv anvone dur
ing the remainder of the day, and
wnen Dr. Crowley called on him in
the evening, he had apparently been
dead for some time.
Coroner R. L. Chapman was sum
moned at once, but the evidences of
suicide were so conclusive that it was
not deemed necessary to call a jury.
The man's face, throat and bands were
blistered with the acid, but In spite of
the agony he must have suffered, he
had apparently set the bottle and cup
carefully on the floor and made an
effort to dispose his body in a natural
position on the bed.
Mr. Perkins was married, but had
no children. His wife was visiting in
North Yamhill at the time of his death
She was sent for at once, and is
expected to arrive in Monmouth today,
when plans for the funeral will be
made.
R. Skeels, of Siletz, was a Dallas
visitor today.
J. C. Kramer, of Falls City, was in

NEW HEATING PLANT
System Can Be Installed In Any
Store or Dwelling at Very
Moderate Cost.
Anyone Interested in an Inexpensive,
yet practical, heatiDg plant is invited
to visit the Observer office and inspect
the new hot water system just installed
in the press and composing rooms.
The system was put in operation yes
terday morning, and was found to
work perfectly in every detail. The
plan for heating the office in this man
neroriginated in the fertile brain of
the writer, and the system was designed
and installed by Wesley Vaughn, than
whom there ia no better plumber" In
the Willamette Valley. The plant is
so simple, and at the same time so
inexpensive, that we give a brief
description of Its workings for the
benefit of our readers..
In a system of this kind, no Turnace
is needed, nor is it necessarv to dace
the water-heating apparatus below the
level or tne noor. An ordinary stove
will serve the purpose, the stove used
here being a common office stove that
has been doing service for many years.
From a coil of pipe in this stove, a 1
inch pipe leads to the radiator in the
composing room nearly 40 feet distant.
This pipe is 16 inches from floor where
It leaves the stove, and 22 inches from
the floor at the point of connection with
the radiator. It will be seen that the
rise in nearly 40 feet 13 only 6 inches,
ana yet the hot water ia found to reach
the radiator within ten minutes after
the fire is started in the stove. The
return, or cold-water, pipe is 42 inches
from the floor where it leaves the radi
ator, and 10 inches from, the floor at
the stove.
For an expansion tank, we use an
ordinary 8-gailon flush basin, which
is fed from the city water suddIv.
This basin being automatic, the work
of filling it when the water has
evaporated is avoided, as a float
regulates the supply at all times from
the city pipes. To guard against the
possibility of the water in this basin
boiling over, an escape DiDe with an
outlet a few inches lower than the top
of the basin is provided.
The advantages of this svstem con
sist wholly in its small cost, and the
practicability of its use in buildings
where there are no basements. It can
be used in stores, residences, or offices,
and the entire cost is little more than
the price of an additional stove and
one year's supply of wood for the
same, especially with wood -selling at
its present almost prohibitive price.
The Observer employees are delighted
with the new heating system, as it
enables them to work in, comfort in
any part ofthe building these chilly
winter days.
The business office is also cbucklinar
to think how it will cut down that bis
wood bill next Fall, and thus be able
to spend more money for new tvne
and Improved machinery, .

Electricity for Lighting
Is only expensive to people who are
wasteful and careless. To you, who
are naturally careful, it does not
come high.
It is economical because it can be quickly turned off wnen not needed.
With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let light burn when
not needed to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes
the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month.
You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money
than electric light, but does it save you anything when it limits op
portunities for work and recreation ruins your eyesight smokes
your walls mars decorations and increases household work'. You
could probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your meals
but it wouldn t bo economy. It ia not so much what you save, but
how you save that counts.
