free from sickness at present, and at this
writing there is not case of diphtheria
in East Madison. 1t is earnestly hoped
that we have seen the last OF the dreaded
disease. The place has been unusually
quiet this season on account of the fear
full and fatal epidemic. Help has. left the
mill from time to time, either ON account
of sickness in their own families or for
fear of contracting the disease. The
stores have suffered with the rest, people
outside not daring to come here to trade
With health and confidence once restored
we hope to see business start up again

THE DEFENSE DEMOLISHED.

The Testimony in the Maxwell Trial
CIosed-PreIIer Was Not A Afflicted.
ST LOUIS, Mo, June Tho testimony
in the Maxwell case closed Monday The
testimony completely demolished the defense
set up. DIR. Prewitt leading surgeon and
head of the Missouri medical college, was
the first witness introduced He testified
that he had dissected certain portions of
the body of Preller and found them in a
wonderful state Of preservation. His ex-
animation convinced him that the man
never had the complaint set up by the
defense, This testimony was corroborated
by two more surgeons The state then
closed, and the defense demanded
the portions to examine. As
they had not been introduced in court the
judge could not order the state to produce
them and the defense said it had no more
testimony to offer. Public feeling is now
very strong against Maxwell, it being the
general opinion that he has tried to SANDER

yond a few idiotic women be has not a
