Who Killed Lottie Morgan?

IRoNwooD, GoGEBIC Co, April H. The
neighboring village Of Hurley, just across
the line, in the state of Wisconsin, has
been the scene OF many crimes, but none
more startling than the cod blooded muir
der of Miss Lottie Morgan, which came TO
light yesterday. The dead aud mutilated
body OF Miss Morgan was discovered in the
rear of a low groggery on the Main street
of that place, she having evidently been
struck down and lett as she fell by the
cowardly perpetrators OF the awful deed.
There seems 10 be- no obvious object for the
murder Miss Morgan, who was young
woman of more than doubtful reputation,
has been in Hurley for about three years,
generally being engaged as an actress in
the variety theater. She had large num-
Der OF admirers who kept her plentifully
supplied with money and iewelry. AT the
time OF the murder, she had upon her per-
son about 81, 900 worth of diamonds AM
jeweiry, which was not molested. One of
her lovers is an ex policeman and it is
GAINED by some that she was acting rs a
police spy, and that parties who feared her
nad taken this means 10 get her out OF their
wy. AS yet, however, the crime is n
deep mystery and the prevailing question
is, "Who killed Lottie Morgan."

Then she isn't advanced and she
still loves her husband" said the first.
What do you meanP" half dozen
women demanded at once.
Just this" was the answer. 'The
married woman of to-day is OF thrse
classes-the woman who puts her hus-'
band and his interests first the womaC
who considers her individuality and
interests of equal Importance with her
husbands. and the woman who con-
siders that her interests should domi-
nate his. The first woman considers
the name of her husbands family alone
amply honorable and dignified and
writes her name as your friend does.
The second adds her husbands name
TO her own family name and writes
Mary White Smith The third writes

tween them and wishes to be known as

RESTLESS CUBA.
TIRED OF HEAVY TAXATION.
Gieanings From the Foreign Field.

NEW YORK, April IA Herald CORES
pendent writing from Havana under date
OF April says: The question of the an
nexation OF Cuba 10 the United States is
daily growing more serious and the govern
ment Is now alarmed at the propaga-
ton more or less openly being trried on
with results that will soon be known. The
campaign that has been opened by several
leading papers is courageously sustained
In remarkable editorials that generally
attoact attention, one having gone so far as
TO assert that the Spanish government,
through their ruinous administration, did
more than anybody else 10 throw Cuba into
the arms of the United States. The new
budgets, just voted by the Cortes, have
come 10 NIL the measure, as they clearly
tell the people here that they have nothing
TO expect in their favor from Spain.
Though the Cuban chamber OF commerce
have protested in due time and in the most
energetic terms against the increased taxes
decreed, no attention whatever, was paid
in Madrid TO this protest and the annex
utionists have taken advantage of the dis
aifectation created By the last measures
decreed TO forward the propagation of their
doctrine and increase the number OF their
adherents.
The conservative press has exhausted all
the anathemas furnished them by the ritual
OF their stale p triotism to excommunicate
the liberal papers which have declared the
annexation propagation perfectly legal, in
asmuch as the Doth article OF the constitu-
tional charter says that 1.-THE king needs TO
be authorized by special law TO ALLEVIATE,
cede or exchange any portion OF the Span
ish territory" The organization OF an an
neXationist party is being perssteutly
spoken of, though tits difficult TO designate
as yet those who have taken the initiative
in its formation. With the exception of
some newspaper editors, who have boldly
assumed the responsibility of their acts,
the main part of the people, liberals as well
as conservatives, though longing in the
bottom of their hearts for a change that
would improve the general situation of
Cuba aud save her inhabitants from ruin
and desperation, do not yet dare TO pro-
nounce themselves too openly and prudent
ly observe the signs Of the times before
adopting political line of conduct that
would bind them forever. The doubts that
still prevails regarding the attitude the
United States may assume in this question
induces great many whose influence
would weigh heavily in the balance 10 re-
