FEWER NORMALS.

The state is to have one less
normal school. The institution at
Drain is to be abandoned. The
appropriation on the normal
school account is reduced from
$I1o, 900 two years ago to about
$50, 600 by this session. The re-
commentator of Governor Cham
ber1ain was that still another of the
Normals be abandoned, reducing
the whole number TO two. Though
the legislature will do well in the
elimination of one, it would have
been wise and proper to follow the
recommendation to the letter.
The Normal school idea has been
coverworked in Oregon. Much OF
the money spent on them should
go into the common school fund,
and in the latter much of the in
istruction in the so-ca11ed Normal
courses should be given. In theory
the Normal institutions are for pre-
paration of teacherss in practice
they are high schools or minor
colleges, The chief reason for the
existence of so many is the desire
of different localities for a graft and
the popular notion that the state
should provided it. Two thorough
ly maintained and well appointed
Normals are enough for Oregon
and for their purposes are infinitely
better than four poorly provided
for,
If, as predicted, the legislature
abandons the Drain Normal now
and later on eliminates still another,
the state will have been well served.

SAW WITHERS ASSASSIN.
And Heard Him alk-Believe That
he VIII Collapse Funeral.

Sheriff Burnett and Judge Mc-Fad
den have. returned from attendance
on the funeral of the late She riff
Withers at Eugene. The funeral
was one of the largest in the history
of Lane County. During the time
there was suppressed excitement
over the fear that indignant citizens
might undertake the squaring of
accounts with Lyons wsthout wait
for the court to do so.
The prisoner was seen in the
county Jail by Sheriff burnett and
other visiting sheriff, ofwhom there
were several at the funeral. Lyons
is of medium size and of a low or
der of intelligence. When seen, he
was so much overcome by fear of
summary vengeance that he was
much disturbed, and talked with
difficulty. When the sherifs ap-
preached his cell, he turned his face
in another direction.
Sheriff Huston of Linn, on whose
farm near Shedd, Lyons had wor-
ked several years ago, engaged the
prisoner in conversation. The
whole aspect of Lyons during the
talk was that of abstraction and
abject fear. Many believe he will
collapse before his time comes. His
trial will begin in Eugene two
weeks from next Monday.

RESIDENCE COMPLETED.
Another Fine Home on College Hill is
Ready for Occupancy.

Prof. A. L. Knise1y has formally
received his new residence near the
college, from the contractor, A. F.
Peterson. The professor is very
proud of his new home, and Justly
so. Its location is very desirable,
being in a good community, and
commanding a grand view of the
nearby hills as well as the distant
Snow peaks and lower ranges of
the Cascades toward the east and
northeast. This is a two story
house containing ten rooms be-
sides a spacious reception hail., at
tic, etc. Its hard finished through
out There is I22 feet of ver-
anda, The reception hall, recep-
ton parlor, dining room and sit
ting room are connected by sliding
doors
Between the reception hail and
parlor in a grand archway support
ed by ash pillars resting on pam
ne1ed bases ingenious1y constructed
into book cases and seats. In the
oetagonal windows, extending two
stories, are handsomely designed
seats. The main stairway is fin
ished in natural fir with charming
combinations of its varied grains.
Mr.. Peterson seems to be quite
partial to the Oregon finishing
materials and has apparently an
unusual faculty of working them
into fine effects. The work through
out is finished in fir, hand-wrought
Although there are two freplaces
in the building it is completely
fitted for being heated with air and
is wired for electric lighting. Al
it is one of the handsom
est, most convenient and best con-
structed residences in the city.
Mr.. Peterson is the designer and
builder, and it can be said to the
credit of both the owner and con-
tractor that the business relations
of the parties in the fulfl1ment of
the construction contract are en-
tirely satisfactory.
