AN AWFUL TRAGEDY
AT SALEM.
An awful tragedy occurred at Salem
Saturday, when Mrs. L. L. Jelliscn
poisoned herself and four children, aged
0, 11, 13, and 15, using cyanide of po
tassium. She had been working in a
restaurant, but had quit. Mrs. Jellison
had been married three times, one hus
band being John Swanson, of Lebanon,
whom she deserted, and Swanson then
secured a divorce. Kutsell Storey, a 1"
year old son, who had been living with
her. ran away about a week before the
deed. He states that several years ago
she attempted to poison her family the
same way, but it did not work.
John Swanson come down to Albany
from Lebanon yesterday morning and
went to Salem, taking charge of the
burial. Before marriage Swanson had
loaned Mrs. Jellison money, finally
getting the farm, which was turned
over to her son Russell Storey.
It is considered a case of mental de
pression, with which the woman was
often afilicted.

OBSERVED
By the Man About Town,
A strong sentiment against a double
telephone service in the city. 1ms is
one case where there ought, to be a
monoply, if one is ever justified. There
is even talk of a combination and agree
ment to have only one phone, settling
upon the one to have, the one giving
the best terms. This was iiracn'rnllv
done in Corvallis, where the Home phone
got the plum and is giving satisfaction,
though tnere are a number of the other
phones in the city.
A $23,000 display of hair goods, beintr
