MAY Exhumc the Body.

Cameron, Mo-, July 1S.-John
Schoolcraft and wife, parents OF the
child whose dead body was found
Sunday in cornfeld near their home,
have disappeared from Cameron and
all trace of them is lost.
On Tuesday morning they were
seen travelling on foot near Turney,
twelve miles south OF here.
The Schoolcrafts had been arrested
as a result OF the mysterious disap
pearance OF their child a week ago,
but despite the protest OF many citi.
zens they were released on the finding
Of the body before the coroner's in
quest had been held.
The coroner's Jury found that the
child was either wilfully or carelessly
leftin the woods and that the parents
displayed criminal negligence during
the search by Others for their babe.
Cameron doctors have maintained
that the child's death was due to un.
natural causes and not to starvation
or thirst. The body may be exhum.
ed for proper examination.

A Big Blackberry Crop.

Wathena, Kan, July 1S.-The
blackberry crop is the largest and
finest ever known In this fruit belt.
In the first three days this week over

it is estimated FIVE cars will berequir'
ed to move the fruit. The ruling
price has been $50 per crate, audit
will probably remain at that the rest
OF the week. The berries are unusual
lv large and the quality fine. Rain

the crop may be seriously injured
TIE corn is looking fine but a little
moisture would be great help. The
wheat crop has been harvested and
the yield is large for the acreage.

100 deaths from tetanus, as result

said last night that as soon as he is

KANSAS ASYLUM SCANDAL.
Has Governor Bailey Suppressed the
Investigation Report?

Topeka, July 1S-The relatives
and friends OF inmates OF the state
asylums for the insane are wondering
what has become OF the legislative
investigation OF brutality in the in
situations which began here two
months ago with such a flourish. 1t
was declared at the beginning OF the
investigation by friends OF the ad-
ministration that every charge tend
ing to prove brutality would be
thoroughly investigated. The ste
nogrspher selected by the committee
has had his report ready to present
for the last three weeks, but il has
not been called for by the members
Of the committee, although notice
that it is prepared has been served
on them.
One OF the reasons for the delay al
legged by those most interested in the
investigation is the fact that the
chairman, Mr. Fitzpatrick, has be-
come friendly to the administration.
Senator Fitzpatrick was heartily In
favor OF a thorough investigation
when he began probing, but bis
enthusiasm began to abate before
the case OF the Topeka institution
had been completed and by the time
the investigation at Osawatomie be
gan all OF the committeeman were so
out OF sympathy with the movement
that they managed to complete the
work there in a few days.
1t is said that the report OF the
committee threatened to be too sen.
sational in character to please the
administra ton and that the commit
tesmen were ordered to bring in a re-
port that would not excite the rela.
tives OF the institutions. 1t is
known that Senator Fitzpatrick was
in consultation for several hours
with Governor Bailey one afternoon
after the investigation had been in
progress several days. The evidence
was bordering on the sensational
and Was attracting a great deal Of
attention. Nothing is known OF the
developments in Governor Bailey's
Office, except that Senator Fitz
patrick told a friend a few minutes
later that "the governor wants Il re-
port that will not be too raw" Fol
lowing this and subsequent consu ia
tions with Governor Bailey, Senator
Fitzpatrick surprised his friends by
attending the special session OF the
Legislature and working diligently to
prevent the passage OF a relieiappro-
priation bill for the benefit of the
food victims. IfSenator Fitzpatrick
has b come an administration man,
as his enemies allege, he can prevent
the appearance Of the report several
months.

Tonic, A son of Mr.. u. W.sCason, OF
Rosa, La, nine miles below this town,

lasted four months. The doctors could
do nothing and the patient gradually
grew worse and weaker. Finally I per-
shaded them to try Johnson's Tonic.
They tried one bottle, giving two tea
spoonfuls three times a day, without
stopping the fever. l told them to dao-
BILE the dose las directed on the bottle),
which they did, and in II hours the
fever left the patient. They continued
giving the Tonic, end in a short time
he was as well as he ever was. But for
Johnson's Tonic he would certainly
have died. Yours very truly,
