Inquest at Midnight.

A secret inquest over the remains Of
the late Adelaide Low, who died in Gin
ton under peculiar circumstances Aug.
l, has just been brought to close in
GAINESVILLE. The inquest was begun@Aug.
81, at the request of the father Of the
woman, George Fl. Butts, grain dealer
Of GAINESVILLE, and half-brother, Ralph
-A'dair, also of that city.
: Shortly after midnight on the day
mentioned, the relatives, two physicians
and jury composed Of two men from
GAINESVILLE and four from Clinton, went
to the cemetery at Milton and opened
the grave. The physicians removed the
stomach from the corpse, after which the
body was replaced in the grave and all
traces of the visit covered up.
! Ehe chain ofevents leading up to this
Unusual proceeding was as follows: Mrs.
Low met the man who subsequently, De-.
came her husband, while she was a
trained nurse in Chicago. They were
married in GAINESVILLE. DR.. Low and his
wife went to Clinton to reside. So far
as is known their married life was happy.
The last of July child was born and
Mrs futile was called to act as a Nurse
for the mother. On or before August l,
Mrs Tuttle was told that she might
leave with perfect safety. She was ab-l
sent for some time and when she re-
turned the mother and child were dead
The bloated condition of the body OF Mrs.
Low gave rise to certain suspicious in
the minds of relatives when they learned
OF the circumstances.
> The husband appeared to be deeply
affected by the death of his wife. A few
days later he packed his belongings and
left Clinton, having in the meantime
taken steps co gain possession of proper,
ty, amounting to about $1,000, which his
wife owned in her own name. He dis
appeared from Clinton and his where
abouts is still unknown. :.
After the midnight visit to the grave
yard, the stomach was sent to Professor
Smith of Beloit college. He made an
examination and found traces of arsenic.
In his opinion. however, this might be
attributed to the embalming fluid. This
analysis did not satisfy and chemist OF
Milwaukee was called upon to make an
examination. His findings were practic-
ally the same. After some delay the Jury
has returned a verdict that Mrs. AIDE
laide Low died of causes unknown.

Some people may ridicue the idea OF
learning to swim on dry land. but when
a person Is being taught with pole and
belt in the water is not the first thing
to teach the movements of the hands and

one can swim-and not before.
1t Is not to be supposed that girl
can practice on the floor or on stools
and chairs, and then the first time she
takes to the water swim like a mer-
maid; but it is practicable to take the
first lessons in this way and thus be

occurs.

A homely built, old-fashioned thing, its
joints in every part worn loose,
Its arms of strong, Imprinted wood well
polished from an 6 Of use:
Its creaky rockers seemed to cry as in
eXcruciating pain,
And noisily protest against being put to
such Il trying strain.
For generations it had stood Upon the
footworn floor beside
The old fireplace from which the flames
licked upward through the chimney
wide,
And young and old through years of time
had loved and yenerated it,
That old split-bottomed rocking chair in
which her g%randdad used to sit.
She told me all its history, thai maiden
OF the rosy face.
As we would sit on winter nights before
the CHEEKY old fireplace,
From when it left the builders hands
and sat as if in silent pride
Within u humble cottage when her grand
mother was a bride.
Down through the generations till her
sire inherited the prize.
And as she talked the reyerent light that
lit the azure of her eyes
Unclaimed my heart in willing bonds,
and I, too. pinned my love to 1t,
That old split-bottomed rocking chair in
which her %granddad used to sit.
She told me how the good old man would
seldom leave hat honored seat
When weight Of passing years became too
heavy for his tott'ring feet,
And how he'd sometimes sit for hours
held as If i'll a heavenly spell
Upon his knees an open book, the Bible
that he loved so we'll.
How she. a toddling youngster then,
would kneel before she went to bed
And say her prayers at his knee, his
withered hand upon her head.
And as she talked her lovely eyes with
holy inspiration lit
AS rocked she slowly in the chair in Z.
which her granddad used to sit.
Twas only built for one, and yet we
found it strong enough for two
as in our hearts the spark of love into
a flaming passion grew.
And, spite its loud protesting creaks, I
one night pressed her to my heart
And spake the glowing words OF love
that made her mine till death shall
part.
And as l sit and watch her as she rocks
our bouncing boy to rest.
His curly. golden. sleepy head soft pill
lowed on her mother breast.

than her love for it
