TWO BRUTAL MURDERS.
A Painter at Port Huron and
a Young Married Woman at
Bay City the Victims.

While three painters were on their
way to their work on the new C.& q. T.
buildings at Uptonville, at Z O'Clock
Tuesday morning, they heard cries of
"murder," "help," etc, proceeding
from house occupied by Thelo Kyne,
farmer, and they proceeded to lend
assistance.
On pushing open the door they found
Kyne pounding his wife. They took
him away from the woman and remon-
strated with him, but he said she de-
served what she got as his breakfast
was late.
Backing away from the men, he ran
into his bedroom and got shotgun,
and emptied the centents into the
breast of Wesley Mcdonald, one of the
men, who staggered outside and fell
dead on the doorstep. Kyne then took
his gun and escaped to the woods near
| by. Sheriff BernatZ and four deputies
were soon on the ground, and with the
help of the people in the vicinity, sur
rounded the woods. About IL O'Clock
| Kyne was captured about two miles
from the junction. The officers came
upon him suddenly and he tried to
pull his shot gun on them, but they
Knocked it out of his hands and felled
| him to the earth.
Kyne is desperate character and
few weeks ago drove the c. q q. Z.
employees away from their work at the
muzzle of his gun, claiming they were
trespassing on his ground. The MUIR
derer is about 45 years of age and has
a family of eight children. The neigh
bors say that he pounded his first wife
| to death.
Wesley Mcdonald, the murdered
man, was % years of age, and belonged
ut Battle Creek.
Mrs. Kyne came out after the trage-
dy and looked at the dead body of
Mcdonald. She then kicked it off the
steps and went back to her breakfast
as if nothing had happened. If was
there that a correspondent found her II
| few minutes later. She was uncom-
municative, but said that they had used
the old man rough and had no busi-
ness to interfere with him. She said
he could thrash her if he wanted to.

A Baltimore Belle Captures a Noble Lord.
A SENSATION IN FASHIONABLE CIRCLES IN
SARATOGA.

Among the arrivals at one of the ho-
tells yesterday in Saratoga were two
stylishly dressed and beautiful young
girls accompanied by an elderly lady
and three servants. They registered
from Baltimore, and it was learned
that they were reigning bellies in that
city. The eldest sister had just entered
her twentieth year. Her friends ten
dered her n delightful reception, and
she was the recipient of many unique
and costly gifts.
Her tiance arrived upon the brilliant
scene driving pair of perfectly match
ed cream-colored ponies, handling
cream-colored reins with gold buckles,
and attached to u cream-colored dog
cart with gold trimmings elaborately
mounted. These he presented to the
lady of his choice; and at an early hour
the following day the chief designer
of The NeIO York and Paris Young
Ladies' Fashion BdzdT received a mes
sage from the ladies to produce within
the next five days four pale cream In
dia silk dresses of the same tint as that
of the gold-tipped dog-cart. The pro-
prietOr of The Ne1O York and Paris
Young Ladies' Fashion Bdzdr will
spare no pains to make these natty
driving costumes the most snowy and
gorgeous of the. season. The design
which struck their fancy was that
shown in Fig. of the September num-
ber of The Ne1o YORK and Paris Young
Ladies' Fashion Bazdr. But where
that dress is designed in pink, their
dresses are to be finished in pale ecru.
The frill on the sleeves of Fig. 5 will
be jauntily looped up with real pearls
set in gold buckles. The September
number, containing this magnificent
design, is now for sale at all news
stands. Price 25 cents.

At West Bay City the same morning,
Alex Neveau shot his wife and then
died shortly afterwards, but at last re-
ports the murderer was still alive with
small chances for his recovery. The
couple had been married but three
months, and in that time had several
quarrels. Neveau had an ungovern-

now raised by British farmers are nearly
so profitable as tobacco would be under
the existing law. And at this point a
most interesting aspect of the revenue
only" policy is brought into view. By
law the raising of tobacco is prohibited
throughout the United Kingdom under
penalties attaching to felony, to the end
that every pound used shall first pay rev.
enue at some port of entry. From the
standpoint of '.refo1 mers. this law oper-
ates still further to the advantage of their
policy. e., to look out for British inter
ests-since under it at least half of the
British consumptions of tobacco is sup
piled from the United States, mostly in
the natural state. The difference of over
thirty cents per pound between the raw
and the manufactured article is a practi-
cal exclusion of the latter, and by so much
a protection for the British manufacturer
of plug and cigars.
It is in behalf of the farmers of such
laws as this that attorneys for reform"
in our tariff system are moving up and
down the land and urging voters to be-
lieve that they are oppressed b. tariff
taxes that force these British gentlemen
to pay for the privilege of sending their
wares into our markets, which in no single
instance is such tariff one-fourt has high as
that levied by British law ON American
grown tobacco.

FARM NOTES.

Keep the heifer in full flow of milk as
long as possible after she has her first calf
An old 1naxim is that everything depends
on the first year with a heifer.
Feed your hogs all the raw potatoes
they will eat. If you have none, buy
them; they are the best anti-cholera rem
edy known, also cure for scurvy. By
feeding plenty Of potatoes your hogs will
be healthy Feed them potatoes every
day, don't feed them once and then stop.
Corn and cob ground together make a
good feed for mick cows. We do not
recommend feeding corn-meal alone. The
ration should be corn-meal, ground oats
and bran in equal quantities. If we were
going to feed corn alone we should prefer
to have the cob ground with it.
The first thing to do in invigorating a
worn out orchard is to enrich the ground
by top dressing the whole surface with
barn manure; if practicable, at the rate OF
30 or 40 two horse loads to the acre, OF
with less if this amount cannot be had
Let this manure be finally broken up SC
as to be evenly spread and not left in
humps

TOBACCO CONSUMERS.
Vain Attempt Made to Array Them
Against the Tariff Law

1t is interesting to follow the advocates
of tariff for revenue onl y" in their in
consistent wanderings after criticisms of
the existing law Just now they are
greatly exercised over the fact that some
advance was made on certain grades of
tobacco, and hasten to array in opposi-
ton every consumer who is likely to De
affected thereby.
Now, criticism of the tobacco tariff by
the supporters of a revenue-only system in
vites attention to the treatment of the SUBJ
ject under the British revenue law, whicE
is SO nearly suited to the notions of re
form workers in this country. Great
Britain leyies a tariff on tobacco ranging
from 81 cents per pound on the natural
leaf, to s1.32 per pound for the manufac-
tlred article. and collects in the neighbor-
hood of $50. coo, 900 in some years-about
half the revenue that comes from her
tariff
But in as much as tobacco is crop that
can be grown Oh variety of soils, and
under conditions known to prevail in many
portions of the kingdom-and formerly
was grown to some extent In lreland-this
heavy tariff of five hundred to one thou
sand per cent. against interpretations
would naturally serve as stimulant to
home production. In other words, this
would be a protective tariff. No crops

NOAH'S WIFE.

There was a quaint old colored
preacher in one Of the southern states
some time ago who was very adaptable
to circumstances. He had a class of
twenty or so little boys to whom he used
to give Bible lessons on Sunday after
moons. 1t was his practice to give out
on one Sunday the lessons prepared for
the next. The old man was a little
blind and good bit deaf, and this fact
induced the young fellows to put up a Job
on him. In his absence they glued two
pages of the Bible together, and on the
following Sunday waited eagerly to see
how their little game would work. The
minister put on his ''specs'' and giving a
sympathetic glance at his class, opened
the Bible at the passage about Noah S ark .
and began to read. He spelled out the
lesson to the end of the page-''a and Noah
took with him into the ark one of each
kind, and so on, land one wife," and
turning over continued. land she was
l42 cubits long and 80 wide, built entire
ly of cypress wood and pitched inside and
out Fob de Lawd's sake. What a
woman!" exclaimed the old darky, glanc-
ing wonderingly over the book at his grin
ming class. He paused and pondered
over the wonderful dimensions of Noah s
wife for many minutes and then said:
Boys, we mustn't doubt anything the
good book says, but take it as the other
passage further on, which says, We are
fearfuIly and wonderfully made so

RUSSELL COMING ROUND.
Massachusetts, Democrs &c Governor and
Protection.

Boston Journal: The Boston Post quotes
the Journal as taking exceptions to Gov
ernor Russell's attempt to exclude cheap
clothing manufactured in the foul tene
ment houses of New York On the con-
trary, though we doubt the feasibility of
the project we can not too much applaud
the motives which animate his excellency.
1t is d tardy but definite acknowledge
nent that the pursuit of cheapness is not
the sole aim and end of human existence,
and that while cheapness may be a good
thing there are otherlthings that are equally
desirable. The governors action is an
acknowledgment that it is desirable to
protect the health of the people against
the cheap goods made under the most uu-
wholesome of conditions by uncleanly
foreigners in the,.slums of New York city.
Now that the governor has taken this
position-and we understand that the Post
Endorses it-neither the Post nor the gov
ernor can any longer consistently clamor
for the free admission of cheap clothing
manufactured by the relatives of these
same foreigners who have not yet left their
abiding places on the other side. More
over, when a democrat Acknowledges that it
is desirable to restrict Mr. CObden's idea
of absolutely free and unfettered COM
merce in the interests of the health of our
working people, it is only another step to
acknowledge that it is desirable to re-
spect this free commerce in the interests
of their general prosperity. In fact, it is
difficult to distinguish where sanitary con-
siderations cease and economic considera-
tions begin to operate. Unique stionably
one of the reasons why the Boston work
ing people brought this matter to the at
tention of the governor was that the man.
ner of life of the foreigners in the New
York tenement-houses was such that they
were able to accept wages that made the
competition of self respecting Americans
impossible. But these foreigners in New
York live almost like princes compared
with the foreigners in London with whom
the democratic party thinks that our
working people should compete. 1t
is apparent, therefore, that in acknow
Lodging that our Boston working people
are entitled to protection against cheap
and degraded labor, Governor Russell has
fairly entered on a course that if logically
followed will in six months make him a
member in good and regular standing of
the Home Market club.

A gentlem IN who has fashionable home

The intelligent animal trick of which he
i extremely proud. The dogs name is
Monk. The trick is an elaborate one and
includes the telling by the owner of a
dramatic tale of hardship. Upon a sig
nal, Monk, who usually reposes in front of
the broad, open fireplace, lies down before
his master, with his big head stretched
out on the floor between his outspread
paws, and looks up expectantly Then
the owner begins, in a low voice the pro-
logue.
It is thrilling story of poor wanderer
Struggling up the passes of the Alps, lost
in the binding snow. Monk listens in
tently to every word. His voice growing
stronger, the gentleman describes the
wayfarer lis overcome with fatigue, and
tells how, thoroughly worn out, he lies
down to rest. At this point the gentleman
stretches himself out on the floor, resting
his head on his arm, face downward.
Monk remains perfectly rigid The gen
tleman goes on reciting In a tore grow

barking at the top of his lungs, and reach
ing the PROSTATE form of his master lies
down stretching his paws across his back
and poszing his big black nose under his
collar. He whines and snuffs and pounds
the floor with his big tail. Then, find
ing that all such efforts to resuscitate the
wanderer are unavailing, Monk rises and
lifting his head sends forth howl of woe
that would unquestionably bring the whole
Alpine hospioe to the rescue.
Then comes the climax Monk seizes
the coat collar and is about to drag away
| the helpless man. when life suddenly re-
turns and the exhibition ends with lively
tussle between dog and man and Joyous
bowls of delight on the part of Monk. OF
course, round of applause always fol-
| lows the entertainment.
