Town Election Next Monday.

As will be seen by the ticket pub
lished in another column the name of
Y. E. Horton has been placed on the bal.
lot for mayor by petition. Mr.. Horton
is an excellent citizen and the town is
in no imminent danger if either candidate
is elected.
Mr.. Hanna who has been mayor the
past year, has been faithful official
He was first elected mayor in March,
1892, and served till March, 1896 He
was elected again March, 1897, which
makes five years service. This is evil
dence that the people have confidence in
him to say the least.
During the past year the city govern
ment of which Mr.. Hanna was the exec
utive headha caused to be erected an adj
mirable water tower greatly adding to the
towns fire protection, but notwithstand-
ing this no debts were contracted. All
warrants are paid except few issued
because of the expense of the recent
quarantine cases.
During the past year Mr.. Hanna's
duties have been heavy, contagious dis
eases adding much to them. Seventy
two cases Of diphtheria quarantined, and
two scarlet fever cases and forty seven
cases Of measles have been reported to
the authorities. Through those trying
times Mr.. Hanna acted we think with
the best interests Of the people in view.
During the year he had tried before him
thirty eight cases for crimes and mis-
demeanors and in these cases he acted
so as to protect the best interests of
society. The work of the marshal and
street commissioner under the mayor
has been done with credit to the office.
1t is conceded that Mr.. Carper has made
an excellent street commissioner, watch
full, economical and efficient, as we'll as
good marshal. We do not know who
will hold that place should Mr.. Hanna
be re, elected, but we simply speak of the
record of the town administration the
past year upon which it should be judged
That record is surely creditable and de-
serves approval.

Edwin Booth as a Husband.

At this period the second Mrs. Booth,
always a nervous invalid, began to show
signs of the mental lack of balance
which finally sapped her own life and
almost broke his heart. During her fire.
Quent attacks at Saratoga and later,
when the two families met in New
York and in London, sometimes she
was very trying, but never knew him
to show sign or utter word of impa-
thence. He bore meekly with everything
she said and did, made excuses for her,
concealed her irritability and her ire
sponsibility as much as possible. He
held her in his arms, as if she were a
baby, for hours and nights together
without murmur, and he showed de-
votion that hardly can be equaled. -

A HORRIBLE FIND.
Body of a Dead Child Found.

Last Saturday soon after noon when
some boys were following the creek
channel above the fair grounds hunting
muskrats they found close to the waters
edge the naked body of dead child.
Without touching it they quickly re-
ported to Mayor Hanna who referred
the subject to Justice H. M. Gray. Mr..
Gray proceeded under the statute to at
once organize coroners jury and pro-
ceeded accompanied by DR.. Childs and
town marshal Carper to the ground.
The body was found about fifty yards
north of the north limits of the fair
grounds and down the creek bank. 1t
was where the creek makes a bend
and approaches nearest the north side
OF the fair grounds. No tracks were
discovered near the body, nor weapons,
nor other objects of Identification. The
body was taken to DR.. Child's office aud
more thoroughly examined.
The body was found to be that of a
male child weighing nine pounds and
nine ounces and apparently about one
month old. The skull had been frac-
tured but the skin was not broken
The condition of the blood and body in
dlcated the child had not been dead
more than about twenty four hours. the
blood not being entirely coagulated nor
the flesh much discolored. Part of the
face and one hand had been mutilated

acting as coroner. We the jury employ
ed to inquire into the cause of death of
a certain unknown child, find that the
said unknown child came to its gdeath
from a blow Or stroke on the head with
some instrument to the jury unknown,
which blow was inflicted by some per-
son to this coroner's jury unknown.

The body was buried that evening by
the authorities. We can learn of no
further facts concerning the sad mat
ter. The officers will DOUBTLESS inves
tlgate as far as they can. For the credit
ct the town and for humanitys sake it
ought to be cleared up. The act was so
full of cruelty that it seems unnatural
and tiendish. Somebody's conscience
is surely carrying heavy load indeed,
it it is capable of feeling. Some suggest
that the child is more likely to have
been left there by movers than by resi-
dents here, but that is supposition only.
