by her captor outside and near the
house. The residence of DR.. HAYNES
is Just outside the city limits on Wood,
land boulevard. Five hours later, in
the very heart of the city, a beautiful
yound lady, Miss Teen lIGwley, was
also shot and killed by some unknown
person. Miss liawlcy was killed al
most without a word OF warming in
the privacy of her mothers cottage
home, Between The hours when these
assassinatious occurred, in still anoth.
err and far distant section of the city,
two women were laid low by an as.
sassin's bullets. These last two were
inmates of bagnios.
The assassin shot and killed Mrs.
Haynes during the absence o! her hus.
band at tic Elks lodge. When his
victim was dead, the murderer took
her gold watch and claim, diamond

These four murders have created in.
tense excitement, which is Increased
by the fact that there is no clcw to the
criminal. Hundreds of armed men
are searching for the murderer and
blood hounds have been brought into
service, but SO far without success.
Several arrests on suspicion have been
made, but the guilty man is believed
TO be still at large.

The old and esteemed c~itiztu met
with a painful death last Suntay, and
his many friends were greatly shocked
to hear Of ii, Last Sunday morning
he was Oh his way to attend the con-
ference at S%huqualak, having STAYED
with q friend living out east of the
town. lie Was driving a young aud
spirited horse TO q dog cart, and il is
supposed he lifted his umbrella and
frightened The horse causing it to run
away. Mr., Crabtree vas thrown for
ward with his head hanging over the
dash board, and Willie in this position
his head struck a stump. The axle of
the cart also struck against the stump
aud the horse broke loose and ran to
Shuqualak. Mr.. Crabtrec was terri
bly, lacerGted about the head and
shoulders, his ears being literally torn
from the head, and one of his legs was
broken, He was in this condition
when Mr.. Aggie Moore crrnc IN on
his way to town and saw him. Mr.. NJ.
Immediately set to work to extricate
the dead man, as lie supposed him 10
bQ at the time, from the wreck of the
cart, and laid him under q tree. lie
then went to the house of Mr. Jack
Cambell. who lives close by. and re-
ported what he had seen. Mr.. John
+. Adams happened to be at Mr..
Campbclfs at the time with his car
rage, and they drove to the scene OF
the accident, and placing the body in
the carriage carried ii to Mr.. Cam.p-
bells. They discovered that breath
waa still left in the body, and medical
aid was summoned from Shuqualak.
DIR. Tom Jones was visiting his sister,
Mrs. Mcclure, and hearing of the acct
dent went out to Mr., Campbcll's. but
the poor man wal beyond the reach of

The Key Note.

The Michigan Democrats sounded
he keynote of the approaching can
vass AT their convention last Wedncs
day when they declared in their plat.
form that "sll friends OF good govern,
ment should campaign upon the su.
preme and ovcrshaduwing issue of IN.
riil reform" On the same day the
| Wisconsin Democrats announced the
I principle that there should be nc tar.
III except for revenue"
1t was only a year ago last fall that
the cause of tariff reform triumphcd
gloriously in the Northwest, Thous-
anas, many thousands of old Rcpubli.
cans mustered under that standard aud
marched with Il TO an unprecedented
Democratic victory. Such a wonder
iul revolution could never have been
effected if the tariff legislation of a
Republican Congress, approved by a
Republican President, had not been
very generally felt to be outrageous
and intolerablc. But that legislation
is unrepealcd and the President who
approved it is evidently about 10 br
renominated by his party. The men
who voted The Democratic ticket at
the last Congrossional election will
have every reason to vote ii again next
November. The Republican party is
committed hard AID fast 10 the Nc
kinlcy tariff, and it viii, in all proba.
bility, remain an unmitiga,ed burden
upon The unprotected industries Of the
wbclc country Tor four years to come
after the 4th of March, 1888, if Mr..
Harrison is re elected. That is the ar.
gument to make in this canYass, ana
the Michigan Democrats saw precise
ly the right move Oh the political chess
board, when they said thai sail the
friends Of good government should
campaign npon the supreme and over.
shadowing issue Of tariff reform"
1t seem to us that II would be well
to put just that one plank in t.,c Ma.
tlonal platform of the Democratic par.
ty this year. 1t has merit of defining
exactly the most essential difference
between Democratic and Republican
policy. Tho force bill, the race ques.
ton in some form, viii remain a men.
ace as long as there is any danger of
complete Republican %asccndancy in
the Federal government but thai is
something which more particularly
the south. 1t is regarded
as a side issue, we suspect, in
other parts of the country, and we
need not fear it at all if Mr.. Harrison
is succeeded bya Democrat. We want
an issue that can unite the whole plr-
" in every part of the country, and
one fight at a time is fight enough.
