EXCITEMENT In FLOYD COUNTY.
IOWA.

A Mother PoiaonB her Child and
Elopea-Thc Parties from Cook and
Lake Counties Illinois.
From the St. Charles uova) InterlRrnesr, jan ~
Our neIghhoring town OF Rockford has been
In state Of high excitement Of lata on &C
count Of the mysterious dc1th Of little child
of Mr. L. B. Nelson, of that place, and the
elopement OF the mother. Tho child, d bright
and beautiful boy of nearly two years, died
ner, and the supposition Is that his death waa
caused by poison administered BY the unnatu-
rnl mother. It has since been ascertained
that she purchased strychnine at the store Of
Mr.. Mathews In that place. shsrtly after the
death Of the child, and while hex husband wa&
Nelson, assisted by Mr.. Pierce. Of Ulates
township, packed up her housekeeping goods
in part, and sold the balance, and disap-
peared. Mr. Pierre, who married q sister Of
hers, carried her TO WaverlY, where she took
the cars for the East, and he returned. Pre-
vious to leaving, Mrs. Nelson contracted
debts at the stores to thea1nount Of some fifty
dollars for her husband to pay, and also OBJ
tained loans Of small eums OF money from dif-
ferent neighbara-
Just beiore the child died, enc David
Davis, who keeps restaurant At the Wells
street depot in Chicago, and who married Mrs
Nelson's sister, came to Rockford, held = prt-
atcly lett for Chicago, making visit of only q
few hours. The husband, Mr. Nelson. vent
10 Rockford day OF TWO after his wife had
fled and took from the post office letter ad-
dressed to her, which had arrived after her de-
Partutr. This letter was mailed At Chicago,
and unrareled the mystery OF tho wife's con-
duct. It came from an old lover Of Mrs. Mel
sons, whose school she had formerly attended
IN Milburn, Lake county, Illinois It was signed
"four atfectlonate schoolmistress, ]. s.
Whipp1e," but the real author u understood
to be ]. E. WEIGH, her former schoolnatfer.
The letter appointed the plnce for Mrs. Nelson
to meet the writer, and made other arrange
ments. The astonished and heart-stricken
husband had no suspicious OF tha plot till he
read this letter. It ia said that he had lived
happily With bis wife, and that both were 10
earded as respectable citizens by the people
Of Rockford They were from Cook county,
Illinois, ind came to Rockford last spring.
Mrs. Nelson Is very handsome, and her beauty
Is her ruin. There Is talk Of disintouing tbs

UTAH.

Tho problem, W'het shall be done with
Utah Inns long engaged the serious attention
of many Of the 1est minds In the country,
but appears not much nearer y satisfactory
solution than at the beginning. There are,
nj present, two propositions before Congress
looking to settlement OF the Mormon diff
Guilty, but neither Of them promises precisely
the result desired. One Is resolution d.
xccting the Judiciary Committee to Inquire
what further legislation. If any, is necessary
to extinguish the eril Of polygRmy, and the
other Is q proposition to repeal the terrific
rial act, md divide the Territory In several
paris, attaching the parts to contiguous Ter
ritoriea.
The objection to the first proposition Is the
practical one that legislation is not 80 much
needed as administration. Ali the law In the
world will not cure the evil, so long as the
law Is not enforced upon transeressoss- The
law already declares polygamy crime, and
attaches severe penalty 10 It. But the or
dinary machinery Of Justice is power1ess to
enforce the Inv. And no Law can be enforced
against polygamy In Utah, through the usual
process Of jury trial, Congress has NO power
and no right to aboliah the jury system and
it would be unwise to indulge In exceptional,
special legislation, and thus establish = dan
gerous precedent, even for The sake of re-
moving IN almost insuHcrable nuisance.
There Is, however, oneway In which heavy
blow can be strnck at the political power Of
polygamy, through the agency OF legislation.
That Why Is to rsmodel the suffrage laws OF
MI the Territories, 50 as to avoid exceptional,
special legislation, and distranchlse every per-
son who shall commit any sci declared felony
by the laws Of the United States. and prohibit
any person committing such act from
holding my ofilcs, either local or general,
within any OF the Territories, inst as the con.
stitution and laws OF Illinois prohibit any per-
eon from holding Office who has been eou-
ce.1,ed In a duel. The scope Of such Law
would embrace rebels as well as polygamists
In the Territories, but We do not perceive that
this constitutes serious objection and the
usual method Of challenge and oath might
be relied upon 10 enforce It, particularly as
provision ehould be made to prevent any per
scn falling within 1t. definition from acting as
inspector, judge or clerk Of elections.
Tie weakness Of the plan 10 divide tho Ter
ritory among contiguous Territories u easily
Seen.
First. Utah is conveniently located and
properly bounded Tor future State, and. to
restore IT'S boundaries and name at future
day might, and probably would, be trouble
some job. Second. The Aormons, being In
large numbers, will outvote and rulc the poo
pie TO whom they are annexed, thus govarn-
ing several territories instead Of one Or,
fa1Ilng In this, they will join together in one
territory, and rule TINT Third. They will
still control the particular districts they are
In, and so rule the courts sitting there, and

ampled prosperity, with only one drawback,
VIZ: the excessive freight charges OF the
rH1lN ays, which Is in1urinE the faF1nora. but
this evil can not be attributed to the tariff.
Thus, since 1917 until this time our national
legislato1s have nade khree mat des1J ncfise e.

tusiuG industry OF tho United States was 6nf.

Trade hobby, When the country could endure
their cruel Iony no longer. protection WAS re-
established and new life reappeared In all
useful branches Of industry.
Having cited lhf foregoing historical facts
and figures, now repeat and insist on the
truth OF this disputed paragraph:
!tlThere never has been financial collapse in he
The euu1try has uessr c-caPed from one when 1t
