ed the return of the fowling piece, but

The Midway Editor Makes a Few
Caustic Remarks on Alvah's
Scheme.
Ed A. Paradis, Of the Midway News,
is a staunch Republican, but he has an
eve for the shams and hypocrisy OF that
party as we'll as of any other In his
last issue he made the following edi-
torial criticism on the banquet held
here last week:
The banquet rendered the Minnesota
Republican Edi .Ors' association at the
Uotel Ryan by the citizens of st. Paul
I 5ursday night was either a mistake
on the part of 1.-The citizens of st. PauP'
or deliberate snub to the old Mime
sofa Editors and Publishers association.
1t has been known for three months that
the old state association would meet
here on the night of the 9th, to 20 on
their annual outing on the Tth, yet the
s'citizens of St. Paul." while they would
prepare an elaborate blowout TOR the
Republican association, organized here
SIX months ago, did not
Eyen ID eign Invite
the president of the state association.
|sbrganizedt over thirty years ago. 1t
was very thoughtful of "the citizens of
ST. Paup' to have their blowout when
the state association was coming here,
else the number of editors" at their
board would have been still smaller.
They probably did not know that they
were tacking themselves to the tail OF

A HERMIT MURDERED.
SUDDEN END OF A MICHIGAN
MISER.
He Was Worth at Least
100000.

DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 9.-Charles Y,
Chauvin, seventy six years of age, and
wealthy and prominent citizen of
Crosse Point township, was found
foully murdered in his home on the
Crosse Point road northeast of the city
late this afternoon. The murder
ers have not been caught,
but the officers claim to he
close upon their trail. Chau-
vim lived as a hermit in an isolated
place. Joseph Groosbeck, cousin of
the deceased. called at the house late
yesterday afternoon and discovered
Chauvln's dead body on the floor. On
his head were three terrible wounds,
evidently inflicted by an ak. The
murderers had IaDsacked the
house, but probably found moth
ing OF much value, as Chauvin
kept little money with him.
Persons in the vicinity claim to have
seen two men 60 to Chauvin's cabin
this morning, and afterward start from
there toward the city. The officers
aver they expect to catch the mur-
derers within forty.eight hours.
Chauvin had lived as hermit
for eighteen years. He was
once member Of the Michigan legisla-
ture, had held various local places of
trust, was an Intelligent student, and is
estimated to have been worth upwards
of 100000. Three other attemptsi at
robbing and killing him had been made,
but 1t was quite we'll known of late that
he kept nothing OF value OH his prem
ises.
