Claimed He originatrd the Jetty system

W. K. Rightor, of Helena, died the other day of blood poisoning.
 He had the distinction it is claimed. of Originating the idea which was appropriated by Capt. Eads in constructing the ietty system. Before the war he had been employed with waldo Craig of Kentucky, in deepening the southwest pass for the government. After the war he became unable to carry out his contract with the government and abandoned the work. When Capt. Eads was coming into prominence MT Rightor submitted the plans which made The jetty system feasible. These plans were submitted on condition that Rightor should nave the control of the construction work at certain salary and a part of the profits derived by Eads. Eads used the idea. but declined to carry out his part of the contract. claiming that hls plan was different from the one suggested by Rightor.

commenced making inroads upon it and
finally the "Amalgamuted' was forced to
give way, and was almost entirely swallowed
up by the other, although much to the regret
of 8 large number of the NJ. & L. A. A. men.
The position l took then and which 1 main-
tain now, was that each craft should have a
separate and distinct organization for its own
benefit and be oficered by men who are
thoroughly familiar with all the details of
that craft; when that is accomplished, then l
am in favor of federation of all trades.
In answer as to his position in relation to
strikes Mr.. Harris said, 81 still maintain my
conservative position; and I further maintain
that if the seventy odd thousand people en-
ployed in and about the anthracite mines, or
a majority Of them, are thoroughly uuited
their condition can be ameliorated and by
conservative means can remove all existing
evils without resorting to that policy OF
destruction which involves strikes"
Mr.. Harris believes that by the first part OF
next week arrangements will be completed to
announce date for mass meeting to again
revive the NJ. & L. A.A. He says the miners
are ripe for it.

November Has Serious Effect Upon
Improperly Fed Babies.
"Home, Sweet Home"-The author of the
most touching lines ever written had no
home; born in New York, he died in Algiers.
Many parents to-day who live in fine
houses are homeless-the baby has gone.
The changeable weather in October and
November brings desolatiou into many homes
because of mistakes in baby's food
Practical men of science, physicians and
philanthropsts, long considered infant feed
ing the greatest medical problem, and the
most valuable practical outcome of their
many investigations was lactated food.
Lactated food should now be fed to babies
in preference to anything else but absolutely
wholesome breast milk. The most successful
physicians use lactated food exclusively. Ii
is the purest the most nutritious and the
most easily assimilated infant food. 1t is
retained on the stomach when other food is
rejected 1t builds up the strength when
summer complaints have brought dangerous
weakness.
Profound knowledge of infant diseases has
guided in the preparation of lactated food
1t is the nearest possible substitute to natura
mothers milk. 1t counteracts the weakness
and resulting emaciation of diarrhea.
sustains the strength and supplies rich blood
and solid bone. Lactated food is a triumph
of human intelligence in successfully com
batting infant disorders.

The Body Of a Murdered Infant Child
Found.

The Body of a Murdered Infant Child
Found.
Deputy Coroner Manley was to-day called
upon to investigate the circumstances leading
to the death of a girl baby found on the
mountain. From what is known now the
child was murdered.
One of the attendants at the Polish ceme-
terry found the corpse on Thursday, but it
was not until 8 o'clock last night that he
made known mis- discovery.
The attendant says he noticed plot Of
fresh clay little north of the cemetery fence
and hiscuriosity was aroused. He scraped away
about three inches of the surface and found
box which, upon being opened, proved to con-
tain the body of a child, clad in a little white
cotton gown and little cotton cap with COM
mon white lace trimming enveloped the head.
Under the body were found TWO calico
dresses which had evidently belonged to some
child Eve OF six years old. The box was one
in which butchers receive their supplies
After noting these things the attendant
again buried the box and body, but made the
hole deeper than it was originally. Last
llEul ut toAtlub1A 10 Aollig haNs LHutfhd-
wicz, who notified the Chief Burgess. To 10
day Deputy Coroner Manley went up to the
cemetery and had the body again exhumed
and removed to the lookup. Dr. spalding
was summoned and made an examination.
He said that the child was full grown, had
lived after birth and had evidently been
foully dealt with, as the neck was broken
and the left jaw was crushed In the doc
tors opinion the child was killed about three
| OF four weeks ago 1t was killed very soon
after birth
The dresses found with the body form the
only clue the authorities have One dress is
white calico with small pink figures and the
other is a light brown calico They are old.
Deputy Coroner Mauley will not hold the
inquest until some evening next week and
in the meantime will exert himself to dis
cover the guilty mother.
The fact that Dr. Spalding believes that
the child was killed about three or four weeks
ago recalls the case that was brought to the
attention of the Borough Council at about
that time. A young Polish woman was
charged with giving birth to an illegtimate
child. She denied it but the Chief Burgess
engaged two doctors to make an investiga-
ton. They did so and reported that the girl
had become a mother, but the child could not
be found.

To-day's HERALD goes to its thousand Of
readers in the Mahanoy Valley in an enlarged
form, just double its usual size. This is
done in order to publish the election procla-
nation, which will be found on the inside
pages. 1t is the desire of the County Com
missioners to give the proclamation all the
publicity possible, and in order that it may
reach the hands of all the voters in this
section they have very wisely selected the
HERALD as the best medium through which
to circulate this important document. 1t is
certainly gratifying to the publisher of this
paper as well as its many friends, that the
officials of the county recognize the leading
paper north of the mountain. Our readers
should carefully peruse the proclamation, as
it contains knowledge that every voter should
possess.
