Mr. Brookhouse, as soon aa he discovered what had happened, started for The Dalles with the child, and the hasty ride, together with the poison, served aa an emetic, the stomach being thus relieved of the greater part of the poi son.

Persistent Efforts to Poison Mrs. Hiram Smith and Famity at Coburg, Our readers will will remember an account published recently of attempts to take the life of Mia. Hiram Smith, ol Coburg, by means of poison. Sinco that time, aays -the' Eugene Guard, several more attempts have been made to accomplish the same purpose by some unknown perron, but so far un successfully, though Mrs. Smith and her family have beeu thrown into a constant state of the greatest ' fear by the repeated and persistent efforts of their persecutor to take their lives. In the last visits made by the person who would have the Jives of Mrs. Smith and her family, he left anonymous notices of warning, in wiiicii lie makes the threat that he will continue to visit the premises until he accomplishes his object. He also predicts dire pun ishment for the family after death. Mrs. Smith is the widow of the late Hiram Smith, of Hurrlshurg, a man who was quite wealthy and prominent in social and political life. He owned large tracts of land below Coburg, and at oue time was a cnr.didute for con gress. He has beeu dead for a num ber of years. Mrs. Smith is now aged 73 years and lives on a farm about four north of Coburg. She never had any children of her own, but had four adopted children. She has residing with her the four orphan children of one of ber adopted sons, who is dead. The first attempt to poison Mrs. Smith was made about ten years ago. Recently two more attempts were made, of which au account was pub lished a few weeks ago. On last Tuesday another attempt was made to administer poison to the family. Some unknown person visited the house during the day ami left some kind of powder on top of the jars of milk. Mrs. Smith does not know what the powder was, but thinks it waa some kind nf r o'tson that is used to destroy rats und squirrels. On this visit the person left two notes. They read as follows: NOTE NO. 1. "Done by an unkii iwn friend. I in tend to kill you all . My name will not May hell punish you g d you. You all, I will kill you all. M. A. E. 8. F. S. V. S. C. 8. L. 8." NOTK NO. 2. "Done by an envious friend, and will come again. Have hten five times already; g d you tolka." ' On the afteruoou o: the next day the unknown person again visited the premises and put another kind of pow der In the cream in Uie pantry. lho powder was of a whnlsh color, looked like soda and tasted like concentrated lye. On this visit two more notices were left as follows: note no. 3. "The ones we want to kill Is Hiram Smith, L. Smith, Mary Smith, Clara Smith." NOTE NO. 4. "I am coming again; this Is done by one you will never know. God Is building the fire for you now, g d you." On the days that the above notices and the supposed poison were left, Mrs. Smith and the two little girls were left alone at the farm, the young men Leet and Hiram being absent on business. Judging from the way note No. 3 reads it would stem that the un known party only desired to take the lives of the four orphan children who live with Mrs. Smith. Thursday the family persecutor again gullied admittance to the prem ises, unseen by any one, and scattered poison about in the well and watering troughs and in the gialn bin. Thwart ed thus far in his efforts to take the Uvea of tbe members of the family, this mysterious individual now seems determined to poison the stock ou the raneb. The family now live lu con stant terror, not knowing what min ute their property may be destroyed or their lives taken by tills unseen enemy who from the very (iendlshiiess of his actions, must be some person who Is bordering on the brink of insanity. The matter has been placed in tht hands of the officers of Eugene, who will ferret It out and doubtles in a short time show the guilty parly up UUeVw til powerful light of tbe law, populist state convention.
