ed employment on the G. T. R., residing
with his wife and family on Rose avenue.
Four yeare ago he removed to Cleveland,
where he obtained a responsible position
with the Pennsylvania Company. It was
arranged during the Spring of 1894 that
Mrs. McKenzie and the four children
were to join him, but the husband notiii.
ed them not to go until the fall of 1895.
Mrs. MoKenzie thought the message
peculiar and commenced investigating
with the result that she ascertained that
be had become enamored of another
woman whom he had married and was
then living with. She thereupon decided
to have nothing further to do with him.
This woman it is who is now under ar-
rest for causing McKenzie's death. The
woman IS Mrs. Lottie ldveringham, whose

YOUNG - PEOPLE'S
Saving Depository,
In order to encourage the ohildren and
olcler ones also to cavo their pennies or
dollars I am prepared to receive deposits
from 50. up to $50, payable on demand
with interest at 6% per annum for all de-
posited over one year, or 5% when for less
time. Many children, and older ones too,
would have quite a sum in a few years,
and a handsome inuonie from the interest
alone, if they would only save what too
often is spent foolishly. Many are living
to -day in rented houses who would have
had a home of their own if the money
they had spent iu tobacco alone had have
been put out to interest instead. Let
such begin now, "It is never too lite to

ly small savings, put ont to interest, ao•

sum of $340. 6 cents saved eaoh day cud.
put out to interest at 6% would in 20
years amount to 91,370, or in 50 years to
911,400. Many spend from throe to five
times thie amount in strong gelid, tobac-
co or agars, which is worse than wasted.
