TIE SHOCK KILLED HER.-Will. c.
Shannon, a young Newport, Ohio. boy,
will never answer in an earthly court
for the death of his mother. Never
theless he caused her to die. Young
Shannon had been rather wild boy,
often in fights, but so far rs known his
mother, who grieved sorely over his
waywardness, had never seen him in
toxicated.
The good cheer OF the day was too
much for him, and about five O'Clock,
drunk and quarrelsome, he became
involved in row in q saloon near his
home, and was kicked into the street
where he fell and cut his face. Too
much intoxicated to get up, he lay
where he landed and fell into a drunk
en- sleep. Some one sent word to his
home, and his mother started after her
son.
Arriving at the scene, she was so
shocked at his condition that she fell
helpless at his side. Kind hands lifted
her up and sought to revive her, but
without effect. She murmured the
boys name and died Immediately.
The dead mother and druken son were
carried to the same house.

PUBLIC sENTIMENT AND THE VIA
DUCT.

DUCT.
So far as one can judge from the
expression of business men in these
columns there is remarkable unan-
unity in the matter Of building a
new bridge over Mill creek on South
Commercial street. The business
interests of this city demand several
things very plainly. II is certain
that IL the street IL not widened out,
not only oyer the bridge but for sew
eral blocks beyond, and over the hill,
that street is practically ruined for
public travel. 1t will be dangerous
in the extreme with cars running on
1t and might as well be closed to
public travel, if it is not widened
out. 1t is certain that for the true
interests of the city and the Electric
company as well, the latter should
not be forced to cross on its own
trestle. 1t will be a waste Of money
and a further impediment to travel
that should never be forced upon the
company. 1t is certain that any
wood and pile bridge will cost the
city nearly as much AS its share OF
the proposed viaduct will come to.
These points cannot be disputed sue
cessfu ly.
There is another point that should
incline the council to undertake
this permanent Improvement. II IL
the only improvement Of any mag
nitude that the city is likely to br
called upon to make this year. II
this work Is not carried out, a
blemish will be put OH our main
business street. There will be just
about as much money frittered away
on five hundred little jobs that peo-
pie will call for that will cause just
as much expense, and taxes will be
just as high and there will be no
permanent improvement to show
! for II. Salem business men gener-
ally favor the viaduct, and the inn
provement of the street to the south.
They are solidly in favor of gen
eral and liberal policy of permanent
public Improvements and policy
that at the same time will give en-
ployment to labor, which is very
much needed. These public spirited
citizens have only done their duty
in promoting this important work
at the present time, and they seem
to think If the city misses this OPP
portunity of building the vladuct,
there will be general regret among
the taxpayers, who in the end will
pay much more dearly for the same
structure.
