INFANTIcIDE AID sUIoIDE-sLANDsR AT ITs
WsEK.-one Of the most painful occurrences
wo have ever had the misfortune to know
Of, tFanspirsd on the West Side on Friday
afternoon, the result Of that most cruel de-
stroyer Of pesee Of mind, Slander. The facts
are a. follows: A family by the name Of
Kerg reside on IOrain street, near the Young
America 9Otsl. On the afternoon Of Friday
Mr.. Kerg returned home from his work at
the usual hour, and found his wife and child
an infant girl Of about ave months, absent.
Though somewhat uneasy at 30 uncommon
circumstances, he had no thought Of the
terrible reality, and nearly an hour elapsed
before he took any steps 10 ascertain the
whereabouts Of his wife and child. He
finally, however, made inquiries of the
neighbOrs, but learning nothing Of them,
commenced q search, which resulted in the
discovery Of their dead bodies in the eistern.
The eoeoAeE sVos oaauaoasaJ oad inqnaHf
held, when the following facts were ELECTED;

ct times extreme melancholy and depres-
sion, although there was no indication Of
mental derangemsnt.
During the afternoon shs did her ironing
and prepared supper for her husband. Be-
tween Eve and six O'Clock she wss in the
yard in front-of their residence. At about
twenty minutes past six the husband gOs
home, and short time later made the hOr-
rifying discovery related above. The moth

The woman was Prussian BY birth, and

testified to her amiable character, and not
the slightest ground appeared for the charge
that she was given to thieving. slander

above is another sad example Of lie internal
influence.
The Jury found that The mother came to
hsr death by drowning herself because she
imagined her character damaged beyond re-
psration By eAluminious talk, and that the
child came to its death By being thrown into
the wster by It's mother before she jumped

the excitement is high here, and especially
against the Germans on account Of Boer-
STEMS firing on the citizens. If we don't get
the 0. S. military here soon, and all over the

Governor is packing his papers and making
