PoRr HURON, Mich. March THE
pretty wife of Druggist II. &. krill was
trapped by her husband in am cscapade
with James Nelson. u clerk i'm the Com
mcrcial hank, and her mind has given
way under tho resulting disgrace.
She is "A cultivated woman of h and
tho mother of three interesting children,
and her relations with her husband had
always been pleasant until - short time
ago, When Nelson became altogether too
attentive, and at last the goss Ups became
80 busy with their names that shocking
stories cached Krill. who said nothing To
his wife, hut concluded to investigate.
On Tuesday he kissed her g~oo<l-iy and
told her he was going To Toledo and re-
mnin until Thursday. Nelson and Mrs.
kril1 Immediately had u meeting.
The husband, who had gone only tn De-
troit and returned late Nh "Wednesday
afternoon. burst into thu house soon af-
ter tls. arrival of Nelson and confronted
the surprised couple and drew II revolver.
Nelson begged for mercy and was spared
ON condition that he. leave the city and
Mrs. Kriil acknowledged her error
and was forgiven by llcr husband.
The affair would probably never have
been made public but Tor the fact that
Mrs. krill became insane yesterday and
drove her mother, sister and children into
the street. Chief of Police Petit was noti-
fled and fastened to the house, where he
found Mrs. Krill i'm "a terrible frenzy. She
recognized the officer and shot at him, hut
missed her mark. Her husband, after 10
time, quoted her. and then told the chief
that she had become wild over the affair
and had written Z" Nelson not tai leave
town.
Chief Petit attempted to- secure the re-
volvcr. which Mrs. Erill had placed on u
table, and succeeded after "a desperate
struggle with the dcncnted woman. sub.
promised to keep watch over her. and the
officer Withdrew.

The attention of free traders Is called
to the fact that the French are becon-
ing alarmed at the prospect OF the Nc
Kinley tariff hill becoming law.
Those who pretend TO coy that low
tariff rates will not affect the prosperity
OF our home manufacturers will find It
interesting to know that the French
Chamber OF Deputies has considered II
of Importance enough to appoint o
committee TO wait upon the French
Minister Of Foreign Affairs and to
have proper understanding about the
effect the bill will have upon the
manufacturers of that country, They
declare that the French dry goods
trade would suffer severely If the Nc
Kinley bill should pass. The interview
with the Minister has brought out the
fact that It only France but England,
Italy and Switzerland had agreed TO
communicate with our Government In
relation to the matter.
How are our low tariff men TO &C
count for these fears abroada The
Mckinley bill. II 1t becomes law,
will injure those countries, nothing
can to moro sel.-evident. Then, rea-
sonIng farther, how can ii hurt our
own country
1t may be somewhat selfish 10 take
care OF ourselves first but. after all,
We are told that self-prcservation is
the first law Of nature, and on that
principle ii Is altogether natural that
the people on this side of the water
should look out for themselves first.
This, however, docs not seem to be
the spirit OF our Democratic friends.
They are go extremely charitable that
they would benefit foreign nations
first. This principle may do very
well around the social board, where
common courtesy and good breeding
lead us to help the stranger first, but
when 1t comes right down to hard pan
business, to provide the nccessaries for
the board, ii would be the higher part
of wisdom 10 help ourselves first, and
this is what the Mckinley bill pro-
poses, aud this is what the French
and other Europeans do not approve.
ONLY three days more remain for
as 3 ,ments by the Levy Court. If
there are any Republicans who want
TO vote al next November's election
they had better stir around and get
assessed. We might have made The
same appeal to Democrats, but that is
useless. They will vote anyhow, as
sesscd or not assessed,

What WIN the Levy Court Do?
The Levy Court "A now broupht n

The Levy Court h now brought face
10 face with the people on the question
OF reducing the cost Of prisoners board
In the New Castle Jail. Opposed to
the two thousand solid petitioners TO
the Levy Court TO cut down the price
of board per day from 80 TO 20 cents,
will be q counter petition of an uncer-
tain number Of persons gathered up in
Offices and saloons, though il will not
do 10 say that there are not many good
citizens amongst them. What is petit.
toned for and what is the ground of
yemonsirance2 The answer to the
first 10, that, the sheriff OF New Castle
County Is allowed by the Levy Court
30 cents day for feeding each OF 40
prisoners on the average, while In the
nelghboring County OF Chester, the
sheriff is allowed 81 cents per day for
doing the same work.
The difference seems 10 be that the
sheriff OF Chester county gives his
prisoners three good, healthy meals
per day at 81 cents, while the sheriff OF
New Caatle county only gives his
prisoners two meals OF very Indifferent
food at 30 cents per day. This Is
very material difference. While 40
prisoners In Chester county would cost
that county IS, 522 10 per annum, the
same number in New Castle at 80
cents per day costs that county Sl5, $50
per annum.
The difference between the two is
$1i ,80725. against New Castle county.
1t is supposed that the sheriff of Ches-
ter county has his profits at 81 cents,
but the sheriff OF New Castle county
not only has tho same profits as the
Chester county sheriff, but he has
$ll, 807I25 profits besides. All this
-oesnes out of the tax payers pockets.
When we look at these figures what
are we to think of the tax ridden peo-
pie Of New Castle county that they
did not long ago rebel against IL?
But what do the remOnstrants say?
Well, they point to precedent, aud say
you wouldn't cut down on Sheriff
Allen, would you, in the middle OF his
term, after he fought tor and obtained
the office with the expectation of get.
ting the same compensation as other
eherilfs. This is all there is in the re-
monstrance. They admit that the al
lowance is enormous and more than 1t
should be, but they want 10 keep on in
the old ruts because others kept there.
As MISTER oil fact, the petitioners do
not propose 10 cut down the board to
" cents per day, but only to 90 cents
per day, still leaving profit OF SO. 900
b year. In the name OF justice, is that
not enoughf Must Sheriff Allen have
