At 10:30 yesterday morning, Peter
Shannon shot and killed his wife and a
moment afterward shot and killed him
self. The tragedy occured at a small
board injr-housc at the northeast corner of
Eighteenth and R streets. As far as the
facts in the case can be learned it seems
to have been a most brutal cold-blooded
murder, committed by a human monster,
the only palliating circumstances about
the affair being that he had the grace to
do away with his own worthless life.
Shannon was alout GO years old and his
wife about C. They had been married
only a year, and Shannon seemed insane
ly jealous of his wife without cause.

them to take a ride. One of them told

vigor. After receiving a small taste of
what he richly deserved, he managed to
escape, and jumping on his hack drove

There is deep disappointment in the
bosoms of an hundred pupils of the
Hiilslxiro public school. Sme arrange
ments had been made for an entertain
Dient by the school on the evening of the
close of the present school year, and
bright expectancy lighted the features of
merry and ambitious youth. A few
parties outside the school had kindly
consented to assist in the music and the
entertainment was looked forward to
with interest by pupils and patrons of
the school. But through some influence
the little refreshment from dry study has
fallen to wreck. Entertainment or ex
hibitions are to lie condemned in but
one event -that is when tliey take place
during the terms and when the pupils'
tn'ndsare- or should le centered lijxin
the studies pursued in the schoolroom
At the end of a term or school year, they
are proper and should Ins encourage!. It
is then that parents and patrons of the
sertool may attend aitd witness the pro
gress made by those receiving instrue
t ion. It is then that the generalship
and ability of the teacher to properly
instruct in not only the text hooks Lot
decorum, gentility, etc., may le wit
nessed by parents and others interested
and taxed to support schools. When
everything that will call public attention
to ur public schools in eschewed, it is
time sweeping investigations le made.
Is there tM much tardiness in our
school? Is there liltle o,- no enthusiasm
on the part of both parents and pupils?
These complaints have been made; we
make no charges. I.et this matter be
investigated. It is due to the teachers
and to the public.

It is stated that Thomat A. Edison ha5

lifted by means ol revolving fans, lo
which power is to be supplied by a w ire
connected with an electric dynamo 011
the earth. A projierly equipped car, iu
which an officer can ascend and take pho
tographs and sketches f the enemy's
position, is to complete the apparatus.
It is stated that the noted electrician is
already experimenting upon the device,
and that he is confident of suet ess.
It will lie observed that locomotion is
not to bo attempted with this machine,
except, pel haps, for fdiort distance. It
therefore seems to le cntiiely practicable,
and. Mine it can lie kept under control,
it will le free from the dillii ulties that
have attende . the use of balloons.
Edison believes that he can give it some
propelling jiower. hi as to he able to
directjts movements over limited areas.
Those w ho have examined his plans are
quite prepared to Iwlicve that the result
of it will le the first step toward solu
tion of the long-Mil lied problem of

An interesting game of base ball was
played here last Satunlwy afternoon, be
tween a couple of juvenile clubs, which,
for the amount of "kicking" indulged
in, would compare with professional.
Unfortunately, the game broke up in a
general row over the "third out" of the
ninth inning, and the stakeholders made
away with the money. The score stood
2223. A second game will le played
to morrow afternoon. The Willamette,
