Creston, Aug. 1o.-vMrs. Mary Z.
Scales, wife Of E. Z. Scales, who re-
sides on Northeast Chestnut street,
yesterday morning some time between
the hours of 9 and II killed her 2year-
old daughter Mildred by giving the girl
an overdose of laudanum.
The tragedy was made known by
Mrs. Scales little 6-year-old son, Mall
comb, who informed the neighbors that
his mother had cut the baby's head off
with hatchet, and from his report the.
news got over town that the little one
Z had been hacked to death. The neigh
bors We're alarmed by the story told by
the boy. Mrs. Scales had locked the
doors and pulled down the window
blinds The appearance Of things indi-
Gated that the woman had committed
some terrible deed and the neighooring
women were afraid to enter the house.
Finally the daughter Of Mrs. Brown
prevailed upon Mrs. Scales to open the
/ door and She found the child lying on q
bed in the northeast bedroom dead. 1t
was in nude condition and the mother
nationally DIR. b. Fisher, DR.. j. p.
Claybaugh, Sheriff Miller and Mayor
Skinner visited the scene Immediately
on learning OF the tragedy. When DR..
Claybaugh and his companions arrived
he found a number of notes lying about
the rooms. They We're picked up and
kept for further reference. The PEN
manshlp is partially ineligible, but
enough can be made out to show that
the demented woman contemplated her
own life as we'll as that of her child.
3 She asked in one Of the notes that they
both be buried together. In another
she states that she gave the child laud-
anum and in another that God desire1
the life of the child Neighbors say that
she tried to get the boy into the house
and that he escaped by climbing the
fence. Had he not done SO it might be
that he would have suffered death with
E his sister.
Mr.. Scales was greatly affected by
the deed OF his wife. He wept like a
child. He said to a reporter that his
wife had not been manifesting any un-
( usual signs Of insanity. She wanted to
60 to Dakota, but he had persuaded her
\ not to do so.
Coroner Mckee was notified Of the
death and had the body removed to the
morgue OF McGregor Bros. "A jury
\ composed Of Justice S. w. Gouldin
Newt Skinner and William Brooks wal
y empanelled and held an inquest.
The woman who committed the crime
has been an inmate Of the Clarinda in.
sane asylum. having been sent to The
hospital from this county December 16
1896. She was discharged September
80, 1897. Since that time she has re:
sided with her husband in this city. She
was taken in charge by Sheriff Miller
Yesterday afternoon Sheriff Miller
placed Mrs. Scales in the woman's de-
partment in the county jail. Her con
dition is growing worse. At times shs

other times she thinks the baby j.

Ian Alaclaren. in The Ladies' IIcmes

sdisposing Of the old minister has been
felt SO acutely that a distinguished divine
of our day-who is now dead proposed
that minister who was past his prime
should be taken out q presume to some
sheltered spot, and shot. Certainly he
expressed the mind Of some ungratcful
and miserable congregation which would
be immensely relievedto get rid of an old
servant i'll the quickest and cheapest
fashion. Perhaps, also, it would be the
kindest thing to the minister when he dis
covers himself to be an incumbrance on
those whom he loves and who once loved
him TO give him by some means the coup
de grace, but there are objections OH the
part OF an interfering law to this summa-
ny method of disposal, and one must
abandon the idea Of an ecclesiastical
knacker's yard.

Liberia is the paradise Of mother

the author of a Lone Woman In Afri-
ca, who has been for the past twelve
years in charge Of the Garraway Mis-
sion, Liberia. a woman can command
the services Of her sons-in-Iaw for Ger
tain duties and it matters not what
their other obligations are they must
obey her For that reason daughters
are exceedingly desirable possessions
among Liberians.
when a child is born some member
of the family is sent at once to the dew
il doctor to inquire who it is and what
its name shall be. He goes up into the
hOUsetOp, taking with him COW horn.
This he blows to call the devil: and the
devil is supposed to tell who it is that
has come back into the world. For the
people believe that every newborn
child is Some deceased member of the
family who has returned to life among
them. II sometimes receives the same
name it had before and sometimes the
name is changed.
a young mother is never permitted
to have the care of her child, an older
woman being called in. These nurses
may be seen any morning sitting on
one of their common chairs, which is
nothing more than stick Of stove wood
out doors, with a pepper board by
their side They will rub one finger in
the pepper on the board tEin thrus it
as far down the child's throat as posi-
bic, and massage and stretch the threat
thoroughly. until the poor little cTea-
ture is almost strangled and throws up
all that is in its stomach The wretch
ed infant is then laid down to sleep on
its little mat on the floor by the fire.
When a child is nine or ten months
old, small bells are tied to It's person
at its wrists, waist and ankles These
are intended to coax it to walk. The
mother then takes it to d devil doctor
who makes a charm which she ties
about it's waist. But often ] have seen
children without even these charms.
and when ] asked for an explanation
was told that the child was suGoOsed
to be some one who had returned from
the spirit world only to find articles to
carry back. If his parents should dress
it or give it anything it would not stay,
but would take the things and be gone.
