MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDY.
A Sleeping Girl Murdered In Bed and
Her Hostess Daughter Arrested.

Details have just been received
from Nicholas county, Of terribl,
murder, in which jealousy seems tc
be the moving spirit, and the victim
beautiful young woman.
The victim was Miss Harriet Fra
zier, and Margaret Ravens has been
arrested for the crime r A. Thomp.
son and r ) Frazier live on adjoin
ing farms, and their families are in
innate. Miss Margaret l. Ravens
lives with Thompson. Miss Frazier.
who was killed, was at Thompson g
house, and was induced to stay over
night. She was put to bed with Miss
Abbie Thompson, in the room ad
joining that occupied by Miss Hav.
ems and a small daughter of Mr..
Thompson.
During the night the household
Was aroused by the report of a gun.
Miss Abbie Thompson, who slept
with Miss Frazier, wakeued with a
start and found the pillow alongside
of her on fire, and saw that the back
of Miss Frazier's head had been
blown off with charge of shot. A
doubled barreled shot gun. which
had been hanging against the wall
was standing near the bed, with one
barrel empty. Miss Ravens was in
bed, and awakened apparently with
the Others. The child who occupied
the bed with her said she was there
when she was reused by the shot.
and Miss Abbie saw no one in the
room. All the windows and doors
were closed and locked as they we're
when the family went to bed
There was no clue, and the coro
ner's jury which sat Friday, decided
that Miss Frazier came to her death
at the hands OF some one unknown.
Miss Ravens was arrested and placed
in Jail at Nicholas Court House. 1t
is said that she was jealous of Miss
Frazier, and that Thompson, in whose
house the murder occurred, paid
some compliment TO Miss Frazier,
which aroused the ire of Miss Hav
ems. Miss Ravens is only arrested
on suspicion, and there is no one who
can explain how she could have com
mitted the murder, if the stofies of
the child in bed with her and the
one with Miss Frazier are true

Dear Republicans, how are you
going to reconcile this question
about the hard times coming under
the Mckinley law and the resump-
tion of industry and trade that is
surely coming under the Wilson lawi
The Wilson law is about to become
operative, and trade is picking up.
When the law is in force trade will
be practically on solid basis and
getting better all the time. The ques-
ton of who made the hard times will
then no longer be puzzle to some
people.

Commenting on the claim of the
Republicans that the effect of protec-
ton is to advance wages the Chicago
Record, independent with Republi-
can leaniDgs, says: The claim is
based on an erroneous assumption.
1t is said wages are higher in this
country than in England. We have
protective tariff; England has none
therefore high wages here are due to
our protective tariff. Why not take
this view, which is just as logical
wages are higher in England than
they are in France; England has free
trade while France has a high tariff;
therefore free trade in England
makes high wages? Condolences do
not always prove cause and effect.
The theory on which protective
tariff is based is that it cheapens the
price of manufactured goods and at
the same time increases the price of
labor IF this were correct state
ment of the case how would the
manufacturers of this country, who
as rule are protectionists, be affect
ed? They would stand in the posi-
tion of working to decrease the price
of their product and to increase the
price Of labor They would be in
favor of selling at low prices all they
had to sell and of buying at high
price nearly all they had to buy,
which is labor Mr.. Blaine told the
truth when he said that the high
wages in this country are not due to
protective tariff, but to the fact
that the American wage worker is
more intelligent and works more
hours than the foreign wage worker.
1t may be laid down as true that
anything that increases the price of
a commodity tends to decrease its
consumption; that anything that de-
creases consumption decreases de.
mand, and whatever decreases de-
mand for goods decreases the price
of labor that goes into their manu-
facture. The Republicans argue that
the difference between the tariff of
the United States and the tariff of
Canada is the cause for the difference
in the price of labor existing between
the two countries. To any one who
has been much in Canada such
claim seems absurd The cost of
living is very much less in Canada
than in the United States, rents are
cheaper, while the difference in the
points of intelligence between the
American and Canadian wage work
err is considerable. The demand for
skilled labor in Canada is nothing
compared with that in the United
States, while the unskilled and farm
,aborer in Canada has little to boast
of in point of education. The idea
that high wages in this country are
due to high tariff here is just as ri
diculous as that the low wages of
Italy are due to Italy's high tariff.

Diphtheria Taken From a Kitten.

p c. Coleman, of Colorado, Tex,
states that after a residence of five
years at Colorado he saw the first
case of diphtheria. A child of four
years, living thirty miles distant in
the country, and with no neighbor
within six miles, had diptheria, fol-
lowed by paralysis. The child was
far away from any source Of human
contagion and had rarely seen other
children. The father stated that
two kittens had recently died from
what seemed 90 be the same disease,
and the child frequently kissed
them. DR. Coleman does not doubt
that the diphtheria was contracted
from them.

The BuIldOzing Lawyer.

just by what process the custom
of berating and brow beating wit
nesses came to be established among
lawyers is not known. Presumably
it comes from the hope that by
working upon the Indignation of the
witness he can be made to lose his
head, contradict himself and so lose
the value of his testimony. The law
yer who first conceived this plan of
cross examination was a great man
and a grand originator. He doubt
less won many cases by its use. He
deserves much credit for his sharp
ness. But the thousands of cheap
imitators he has bred up in our
Courts are enough to blot his mem
DRY forever. Every crack voiced
fiedgling of the law that has his
first chance at cross examination
ably takes pattern from the power
full lawyers he has seen in the same
british game and squeaks his abuse
at his betters in the witness chair.
His chief desire seems to be to make
as thorough paced an idiot of him
self as possible. Judges chuckle at
him, old lawyers smile at him, wit
nesses call him impairment when
they leave the stand and everyone
who hears and sees him very proper
ly despises him. Yet he grows up in
the business and expands, and his
abusive propensity increases with
his fees. But bullying docs not al
ways win. There are finer methods
of discomposing witness than that,
though the bulldozing lawyer will
probably continue to hulldoze until
the Courts discourage the custom
generally and TINS. fill longfelt

No one denies that the revival of
trade during February was more
marked than it was in January. And
the indications are that March will
double February and April will
double March. So the logic of the
proposition is that prosperous times
are not far away. And this pros,
perity will come when Democratic
tariff reform is in full force and eff
feet. The conditions will be gener-
al prosperity under the Wilson bill.
The hard times came under the Nc
Kinley bill. Honestly, now, do you
think it is possible that anything
but too much Republican tariff leg
islation brought on the panic? No,
you don't honestly think otherwise.

The Democratic Senators who rep

The Democratic Senators who rep
resent the opposition Ito the tariff
bill very naturally prefer that the
committee shall do the greater part
of their work for them by making
the desired changes before the bill
comes to the Senate. Unless the
com nlttee shall yield to their appeals
and threats they will be compelled
to do their own fighting on the floor
and to bear before the country full
responsibility for the effect of their
opposition upon important provisions
of the bill and even upon the fate of
the entire measure. The committee
ought to take no part of this burden
from the shoulders of these men.
Let them make their fight in the open,
during the consideration of the bill
in the Senate by paragraphs, so that
the country may know who the op-
ponents of just reforms are and how
far they are willing to go in their
bad work. --New York Times.

ST. CLOUD, MINN., Sept. 1.-The pine region of eastern and central Minnesota is all abIaze tonight and thousands of dollars worth of property is being destroyed. At last accounts the town of Milace, Millelac county, was on fire with little probability that the flames could be stopped before every building in the place was raised to the ground.
 So far as learned three persons have been burned to death. farm house near Milace caught fire at o'clock this even- ing and in the house was a sleeping baby. The motheEran to the little one and was engulfed in the flames. The father fol- lowed, and was burned with his little fam- ily. Another man in the same neighbor- hood has disappeared, and it is feared he also perished. The names of these people have not been secured.
 St. Cloud was asked for help late in the afternoon, and train left at 4:30 o'clock over the Eastern Minnesota. The train was only able to proceed as far as Bridge ton, as beyond that point all bridges, ties and telegraph poles have been burned.
 The St. Cloud crew got the fire under control around Bridgeton and was then forced to return to this point. All Eastern be able to proceed to Duluth until exten- sive repairs are made.
 Milace is town of about 400 inhabitants. in a country thickly covered with pine trees. Reports up to midnight from Brecker, Crow Wing and Aiken counties are to the effect that thousands of dollars worth of property has been destroyed, in cuding hay and grain stacks, farm resi- dences, fences and wood.
