Verdict.

She Will Return ir she In Needed

Other Late News.

AS announced In yesterdays NEWS, the
Jury IN the Clayton inquest reached a
verdict about noon yesterday. 1t was
that'Daisy Clayton came. to her death
from lack OF nourishment, and abuse at
the hands oil. w. CLAYTON.
Prof. Koenig, Of the Mining School, o.
whom the analysis OF the child sstomacl
and intestines was intrusted. testified Il
detail as to his tests for various poison
GUS acids. He found NJ sulphuric aci,
or acids OF the coal tar series. Citric o..
tartarIc acid was present, but this doe !
not indicate anything wrong for tn,
same would be present II lemonade hat
been taken into the stomach. Pro-
koenIg made the Marsh test OF arseni.
and found none, nor was there found an
substance OF corrosive nature.
Drs. Wheeler and Scallon were recalle,
aud both testified that in the condition
the child was the blows indicated by th >
appearance OF the body would contribute
to death. The testimony, no doubt, IN
fluenced the verdict returned.
N RS. Clayton's testimony was borne
out by that OF Jennie Scott, who told OF
having boarded with the Claytons some
two monthsand roomed upstairs with
them In the Sheldon building. She said
all that time she saw Daisy downstairs
but once, but that the reason was that
the child preferred staying there as she
was allowed to come down had sh >
wished. The verdict OF the jury Is most
satisfactory to Houghton people. There
is great feeling over the affair, much
more than Is ordinarily shown, being a
natural sequence OF the unhappy coudi-
ton OF little Daisy Clayton before her
death and the appearance Of the little
wounded body when viewed by a large
majority OF the residents Of the village.
Cool minds, however, realize that a con-
vIction for murder will be improbable.
However morally guilty CLAYTON may be
they zee that proving him so legally will
he quite another thing. Mrs. Clayton's
testimony, favorable to the accused in
that it relieves him Of the intent which is
a necessary constituent OF a capital
crime, yet sho VS. him to be guilty OF the
cruelty which the doctors say was con-
tributary to the death. II the blows
given helped to cause death, but the In
tent to kill was lacking, conviction OF
manslaughter might result. 1t would
hardly help the defendant to claim that
the punishment was administered to
compel the child to eat or take medicine
10 spite Of herself for the means would
be considered very much more violent
than the case demanded.
Mrs. Clayton left yesterday afternoon
for Milwaukee. She will return II her
presence is necessary. She cannot be
used as witness at the trial Of her hus-
band according to the opinion OF . well
known attorney, which is concurred in
by the prosecuting attorney.

If the stock law is not enforced two

are going to resign. There is no ne

enforced. The Mayor has the power
to enforce any ordinance in our Or

little courage, a strong'back-bo zone and
a little determination to enforce the
laws of the city and the Council will
stand by him. If he cannot get the

The Weather Bureau.
ITS IMPORTANCE AND RELATION TO THE
pRODuCERS OF FLORIDA.

Rn1rcan section Director, Florida Climate and
Crop Service. Before the Florida horticultural
Society May z, 1861
Awaiting myself of the kind invita-
ton of your secretary to submit some
observations upon the weather Bureau
in it's relations to the interests of Florida
I shall ask your indulgence for short
period while a cursory review is made
along the line indicated.
To begin with, may we not ask, pert
inently, if there is anything under the
sun not affected by weather? The anc-
tents were cognizant of the fact that
nearly all things animate or inanlmate,
possessed some element tending to elucl-
date the com pick question OF foretelling
weather changes; and today the super
stitious are fruitful with their signs and
sayings, applicable alike to the animal
and vegetable world. Like the days Of
effete monarchies, however, mytholo-
giCal and astrological matters have dis
appeared, and the sunlight of advanced
thought has evolved more tangible and
plausible theories. The far reaching
effects that the weather sustains to per-
sonal comfort, and it's almost indissol-
uble relation to the welfare of peoples
and nations, are sufficient explanations
for the present energetic, liberal and sa-
gacious action of the leading nations in
maintaining weather bureaux. Is there
anything that SO thoroughly permeates
every nook and corner of the universe,
and invades alike the howell Of the
humble, and the palace Of the rich7
That falls with equal force upon the
beggar in tatters upon the street, and
the crowned head who rules "by divine
authorlty?" By its captleus freaks the
exchequer of one is filed by absorbing
the holdings of another; for the coal
and wood dealer looks on with "ghoul-
1sh glee" upon the advent of these great
anti-cyclonic waves Of cold air as they
sweep in resistless fury from ocean to
ocean, enveloping a continent in their
ICY embrace, while the fruit grower is
fervent in his beseechings for the mel
low air of spring, but pays as tribute
the Accommodations Of lifetime. The
Florida hotel keeper scans the
weather chart or daily paper and
mentally counts his guests riding south
ward upon the crest of frosty air; or,
perchance, in summer, his eager eye
faileth not in seeing an advancing hot
wave, knowing that increasing caloric
multiplies the seashore's numbers. On
the other hand, the farmers face is the
picture of anxiety, for the blizzard robs
him of the fruits of summers toll,
while the hot winds of the latter season
reduce to a minimum the possibilities
of natures yield Whether you be
within the confines of the north, or be-
meath the azure skies Of Florida, the
weather intensifes or ameliorates the
human race, and leaves its impress upon
oil matter within the relms Of space.
Recognizing these facts, Congress es-
tablished the weather service some %
years ago AS an adjunct of the war de-
partment. Some four years ago it was
transferred to the department Of agri-

duty at Chicago, became the executive
