spread interest manifested some time
ago in today's annual meeting Of the

SHIELDS PARK.

Mr. Rasmus has certainly secured
a jolly show for Shields park this
week, and the hearty manner in
which the huge audience enjoys it is
decisive proof of its excellence. Mr.
and Mrs Bronson are making many
friends by their clever work. And
the new act by Stanley and ScanlOn
is the best they have offered. Mr..
Stanley is a good comedian and his
black face work is true 70 life An
other popular feature is the CrayOn
drawing of Simms This unique act
deserves the many rounds Of applause
he receives, for his work is certainly
wonderful and the character drawing
of faces taken from the audience is
a positive novelty. Baby Irene is re-
ceiving much applause for the two
clever songs rendered by her, the one
entitled Hello Central, Give Me
Heaven" being particularly bright
and catchy. McGreevy, the comedian
who sings and talks, is still making
good" and his funny stories are great
~ enjoyed. Our friend, the polyscope,
throws upon the screen this week the
finest collection of moving pictures
seen here this season. For an even
ing of good entertainment go to
Shields park there is certainly
amusement for all. Amateur night is
announced for Thursday night.

WlLhOu. an ilstant's warning, Chas.
B. Hunt, a car repairer in the employ
Of the Northern Pacific, met a terri
BILE death in the Pasco yards at II o.
clock last night by being run down
by a switch engine which came upon
him suddenly in the dark as he was
crossing the track.
The unfortunate mans head was
completely severed from the trunk
and his two arms, thrown out to pro-
tect himself from his destroyer were
groun7 off.
The remains were brought to Walla
Walla this morning by the grief
stricken wife and two children and
transferred to the Pickard undertake
ing parlors to be prepared for burial.
Had Mr.. Hunt only heard a cry
of warning that Conductor Fletcher
of the ". & C. r. R. shouted at MIN,
he could easily have saved himself.
A few minutes before the accident he
was talking with Conductor Fletcher
in the depot and left the building for
the shops. His route took him across
a net work Of tracks and it was upon
one of these that a switch engine bore
swiftly down upon him.
AS Mr.. Hunt left the depot COniuc-
tor Fletcher walked out onto the
platform. He noticed that switch
engine was backing swiftly down the
track and a second glance showed
him that Mr.. Hunt was directly in its
path apparently ObliviOus Of its
swift approach.
Il cried Look OUT several times
but either he did not hear or did not
pay any attention. said Mr. Fletcher.
The next instant the engine was on
him.
From the nature Of the terrible
wounds the man received it is appar-
ent that two or three wheels passed
diag0nally across his left shoulder
and neck, severing the right arm at
the shoulder and crushing the head
Off The left arm was cut TO shreds
and hung by threads of skin. The
lower part of the trunk and legs were
uninjured Immediately after the ac-
cident trainmen gathered up the body
and placed it in shipping box.
Mr.. Hunt was aged As years and
has been in the employ of the North
ern Pacific for several years. At one
time he worked for the O. R. & n in
this city. He was a member of In
tegrity Lodge No. 4, A. 0. U. w. and
carried life insurance of $4,000 in the
order He is survived by his wife
and two minor children. He is
brother-in-law of William Noble of
this city, the two having married sis
tiers.
The funeral will take place from
the residence of Mr.. Noble, east of
the city, tomorrow afternoon at g.
o'clock. Rev. J. R. Lamb, pastor of
the Cumberland Presbyterian church,
will officiate. Interment will be in
the Odd Fellows cemetery.

MUST USE PARLOR ONLY.
No More Men Visitors In College
Girls Rooms.

Scn FranciscO.-In an effort to cor
rect some of the social manners of
the University of California goods, y
all III the interest of propriety and
good form, the Young Women's Chris
tan association, headed by its gener-
al secretary, Miss Mary |. Bentley,
has succeeded in raising pretty
storm in college society The cru
SADIE has been carried among boarding
houses of the college town and the
agitation has been to stop women stu
ents from receiving their men visitors
in their own rooms. The parlor Is
to be brought into use and all callers
must submit to the open door, poll
cy from watchful landlady. This is
regarded by many of the college girls
as an unwarranted blow at their lib
erty.
Miss Bentley canvassed $50 Ian
ladies of boarding houses and only
three refused to permit girl students
to have the use of the parlOr for
male visitors. The result is that the
edict has gone forth that, the old
time Bohemian custom of both sexes
studying together in rooms will be
abolished. Many students object to
this restriction. but the Young Won
ems Christian association is deter.
mined to enforce it.
