Woman Indicates Murder.

Edward Barry, arrested charged with
being one of the three men who shot and
killed Conductor Young at Monico June
tion made a confession while in Jail at
Green Bay. He admits being one of the
party ordered to get back into the train
by the conductor, but denies that he did
the shooting. He says that the fatal shot
was fired by tall, dark man whose name
is unknown to him. Barry admitted that
he escaped from the Jail at Jefferson at
the same time the murderer, Stephenson,
did. He says that he went to Pelican
Lake, where he met two tramps, one
named O'Donnel, now in Jail at Rhine
lander, and the other a tall dark man.
They got some liquor and got very drunk
and noisy at Pelican Lake and were
ordered out of town. They got into box
ear and rode to Monico Junction When
the train slowed up they got out of the
car, but were seen by Conductor Young,
who ordered them back into the car. He
pointed a revolver at them. The tall dark
man drew q revolver and shouting that
he would show the conductor how to
shoot began firing. Barry and O'Donnel
climbed under the car until after the duel
had ended. They were told by the tall
man that they had better run as the con-
ductor had been hurt. They hid in the
woods for several hours. They separated
and Barry says he has no idea where the
murderer of Conductor Young went.

in throwing 80 men out of work. AS
there is little chance that the company
will resume work most of the men will
leave Winthrop Harbor and seek work
elsewhere. AS the place is inhabited en-

will mean the depopulation of the village.

Tobacco Smoke as Disease Preventive

Added now to the joys of tobacco is
the knowledge that smoking may pre-
vent some diseases. DR.. Dumon has
studied the action of tobacco smoke upon
the various organisms found in the cavity

has no effect upon typhoid fever germs
or tetanus Qockjaw), it greatly retarda

Returning to the Tariff.

Returning to the Tariff.
Having practically ignored the tariff
In the last two national campaigns, the
Democratic leaders are new proposing
to return to that Issue for the next
fight Tor the control of the govern
ment. AIr. Cleveland, as the leading
exponent of so-called tariff reform,
urges That the Democracy must again
take up this question and make 1t the
I leading Issue in their fight of 1904. In
the oplnion of Mr. Cleveland, who is
unaueskionably the foremost champion
OF what is called tariff reform, the
greatest Of all injuries to which the
AmeKIean people are now subjected Is
tariff taxation, which he thinks makes
exactions far beyond the needs Of eco
nomical and legitimate government ex-
penditure. Consequently Mr.. Cleve-
land would have the Democratic party
take d very decided stand against the
tariff. lust as he demanded it should
do in 1887 and which seven years later
It did do, with what consequences to
the business interests of the country
almost Everybody remembers.
It appears to be pretty evident that
the democratic party is prepared to
accept the counsel of Mr. Cleveland III
this particular. All the State conven-
lions of the party thus far held this
year show this. Their platforms have
made prominent the demand for tariff
revision, all of them plainly showing
that the leading idea among Democrats
at this time is to subordinate every
thing to the question Of so-called tariff
reform In all the Democratic State
platforms of this year this question is
given the most conspicuous place. In
the Democratic mind at present this
seems to be the burning issue" Even
"imperialsm" has taken a secondary
place and the trust issue occupies n
place as an outgrowth of the tariff,
notwithstanding the fact that theDem-
ocratic leader in the last two Presiden-
tiaI campaigns declared that the tariff
was not responsible for the trusts.
tt seems to be now plainly indicated,
therefore, that the next national cam
naign Is to be fought, so Ear as the
Democratic party is concerned, upon
Ia tariff The old issue between the
two parties is to be revived and the
country is once more to be asked topasS
Judgment upon the question of protec-
ton to american industries. The Re-
publican party will heartily welcome
