Anouh1e Tragedy in St. Paul.

On the afternoon of the 18th inst, Harvey w.
Kellogg, late proprietor of the Buckeye res
taurant, No 15l East Seventh street st Paul
IAN establishment thatfailed two weeks BEFORE
lefths family in their rooms over the restaurant,
ostensibly to go to Minneapolis to get work.
This was the last seen OF him by his family
His dead body was found lying by the dead
body of Mrs. ID. b. Barrette, in The latter's
apartments at No 314 East Seventh street, over
Anderson and Co s saloon. The theory for
mulated is that Kellogg killed the woman and
then made way with himself.
Years ago FL w Kellogg was merchant in
Knapp, Wis. He came to St Paul frequently,
and on ore of his trips here met an old Wis
consin friend, Mrs. d. 3. Barrette, the wife Of
a noted gambler-Dave Barrette--from whom
she had separated Mrs. Barrette was in
needy circumstances and Kellogg befriended
her.
Something over year ago Kellogg came to
st Paul with his family, opened the Buckeye
restaurant made some money, lost it all, and
a short time ago failed in business. He was
infatuated with Mrs. Barrette, and would haunt
her rooms continually. Recently she called
on DR.. Westlake and told him that Kellogg had
threatened to kill her and then shoot himself
Mrs Barrette was shot in the right temple and
was Mr.. Kellogg, there not being over an inch
dlfferenc elm the relative location OF the wounds
upon each. Death must have been instan-
taneous. Mrs Barrette was dressed ina loose
Mother Hubbard gown and Kellogg clothed
just as he came in from off the street. Kellogg
was forty-fve years old, and had family con-
sisting of a wife and five children-one a son,
twenty one years old, living at Knapp, Wis.
He was not exactly sound in mind, was trou-
bled with insomnia and melancholia, and had
made threats to kill this woman. As yet, no
one knows if he was ever eriminally intimate
with her Mrs. Barrette came to St Paul
from La Crosse She was about forty years
old. and her mother is at Neillsville, Wis.
Her husband was painter by trade, but has
bein living away from st Paul for some time.

A Senator's Monkey Story.

Senator Ransom tells this story: An
Italian organ grinder came TO his sec
ton of the state. He brought the ira
ditional and inevitable monkey along
After some mournful melodies the
beast, in sadly comical way, hoped
around among the crowd soliciting
money. A big countryman upset the
tin CUP, and euffed the money. The
enraged Italian, in his peculiar lingo
bet the man that his monkey could
whip him. The wager was 500, and
the man was to encounter the missing
link with a stick. Armed with a
heavy bludgeon, the bully protested
his readiness for the fray The Italian
danced his animal up and down, and,
in broken English, said: Gentlemen,
my monkey is little, but he is worse
than tiger. have taught him some
tricks that tiger does not know. He
has whipped many big man. If my
monkey shall bite off the nose OF his
enemy, or scratch out bis eyes, or cut
his throat, no blame must attach to
me. So we will begin" The man
with the club was visibly affected by
this speech. He instinctiyely put his
hand over his nose, half shaded his
eyes, while great gulp came into his
throat To the establishment OF the
crowd, greedy for novel rumpus and
careless of the consequences, he tossed
aside his stick and clustered out:

Street.Car Ethics.

foundations to natural cupidity are
never wanting, but the street-car fur
nishes a most practical illustration in
the matter of half-fares to children.
The teaching which children receive
from many parents, who would be
shocked if not considered highly moral,
if it does not develop into tirst-class
rascality, must be neutralized by God,
stretching out His hand to save the
helpless, or fail of any effect because
they are too inattentive or stupid to
heed the parental teaching and exam
pie. To those compelled to observe it
there can be no surprise at the respect
able family and church character of
many of our heightened scandals. The
bent given to plastic childhood will
not be Strengthened out in manhood
by any fear of the penitentiary.
We have, with pain, witnessed an
humble scene, both for mother and
child. in their combined efforts to cheat
the conductor. Nor has this surprise
been lessened in knowing that many
reputable looking mothers actually set
cupidity to the work of helping the
natural bent of childhood to falsehood
for the reward of half-fale. When
the conductor comes round and re-
ceiyes from the mother fare and
half he SAYS, Where is your child"
s.Here he is" is replied. He looks
amazed, as does everybody else, to
learn that the half-grown youngster is
under five years. He asks the infant,
GLOW old are youP' to which it re-
plies -Four years, " looking out for the
future that,still they may keep margin
to travel on. The mother is not dis
concerted at the skepticism Of the con-
ductor, nor is her youngster we'll
trained in the ethics that there can be
no harm in cheating a corporation.
We have seen in one of our exchanges,
like experience, which runs as fol-
lows, and shows that our judgement
is not exceptional:
81 know young boy who is being
simply ruined in his education by his
mother. He is eight years old, with
all the noble instincts OF probity and
obedience which generally character
ize a bows nature. This tender parent
has instructed him that whenever he
gets on a car the appearance OF the
conductor to collect money for his fare
reduces his age under five. He has
been educated to give that figure when
asked by anybody who wants to col
| lect money for his transportation.
Last week friend of the family was
displaying his interest in the child by
inquiring his age. The little fellow
| hesitated for moment and then look
| ed up at his mother: Mamma is he a
CONDUCTOR" No, child. Then | am
eight years old.
But stranger fact, if possible, is
how soon a metamorphosis into man.
hood or womsnhood takes place when
a seat is to be occupied. That baby,
which for half-fare ought to stand by
his mothers knee, or sit on her lap,
spreads itself over whole seat.
Weary men and aged women may
stand. A woman who will teach her
| child to do this meanness for half
| fare will be just selfish enough TO LET
them stand Fraud is always cruel
