NO FOUL PLAY.
SchalIow Baby Died a Natural
Death.
The Investigation Develops Nothing to
Warrant any Unpleasant
Suspicious.

The investigation made by the
county officials regarding the death
of the Schallow baby at st. Clair. yes
terday morning make it seem certain
that there was no foul play. 1t is
believed by all that the baby came to
it's death through natural causes,
The mothers sorrow oyer the loss OF
the little one was unmistakeable.
The post norton examination showed
that all of the organs were healthy
and normal and developed no traces
of poison or of force. Why the child
died is not definitely known, but a
theory advanced is that it accident
ally smothered under the bed
clothing.
DR.. Smith continued the examina-
tion of the contents of the stomach
today, but had not reported the re-
suit up to late this afternoon. 1t is
not believed that he will find any
thing suspicious, and if he does not,
all doubt will be settled, and no in
quest will be necessary.
The clearing up of the mystery re-
garding the baoy's death Is gratifying
to all. .......

ing it took up Sheriff Bowen's bill for

it deducted this amount from Mr..
Bowen's bill and allowed him the bal
ance, 1874 80, disallowing $746,9O.
Four duplicate petitions, largely
signed, were presented to the board,
calling attention to the unsafe condi-
tion of three of the county bridges. 1t
recited that the Butterield bridge is
loose and the floor badly worn, that
the floor of the Rapidan Mill bridge
is almost. completely worn out, and

safe condition for travel, with power
to put in all new timber if necessary,

1T is CALLED.
Democratic Judicial Convention
Meets Oct. 9Th.
The Meeting to Select an Opponent to
LOrin Cray to Be Held in
MankatO.

The Democratic county committees
of Blue Earth and Watonwan coun-
ties have issued joint call for con-
vention to nominate candidate for
judge of the sixth judicial district.
The convention has been called to
meet in Mankato on Oct. Sth, at 200
p. NJ, at the city hall.
The Blue Earth county Democrats
have already selected their delegates
to this convention, so it will not be
necessary to hold another county con-
vention.
1t is believed that w S. Hammond,
of St. James, has signified his assent
to the move that has been on foot to
nominate him. Since his recent re-
turn from the east, he has been look
ing the field over. The action of the
Democrats in putting up candidate
will make the Office again one for par
tisan strife. In order to avoid this
the Republicans have repeatedly en-
dorsed the Democratic candidate, but
the Democrats have not been able to
rise above partisan politics, and re.
turn the compliment. AS long as the
Republicans were endorsing Demo-
GRAFT, non-partisan Judiciary was all
right, but when it comes to endorsing
a Republican they are not in it.
The Republican county committee
will be called together again abou
Sept. goth.
There is talk among a large section
of the Democrats of the city and
county of going it alone with the
county and legislative ticket, and
passing up the Populists. They are
dissatisfied with the Populist nomi-
nees, feeling that the ticket is so
weak that it can never succeed, and
will prove drag on the entire coubs.
ty ticket instead of help. In view
of this, there is move to name
straight Democratic ticket from top
to bottom. 1t is felt that such tick
ct would create more enthusiasm in
the party, and prove stronger at the
polls. The idea of fusion has become
decidedly less popular since the Popu-
lists have named their legislative can.

Those who have Rheumatism find
themselves growing steadily worse all
