Causes Excitement.

Considerable excitement was caused in the city when the body of the baby was found by several small boys who were playing on the banks of the creek At first all efforts on the part of the of- fcers failed to reveal any clues whereby the mother of the child could be traced. Chief Campo took up the case, and has been working steadily with the aid of the other policemen for the past two months. Although the names of the other persons connected with thepcrlme are not given, it Is rumored that some prominent people are connected with the crime.
 Miss Clark took her arrest very cooly and went through the cross-examination by the coroner and the officers in a calm manner although she did object to being placed behind the bars.
 Coroner Paris states that the case is one of the most remarkable he has ever known.

ment. For 10 years and under II post
master generals these publications were
carried as second class matter, though
under protest from the department and
with many efforts TO have the law
modified or repealed, but without sue
cess. Falling IN this, the postmaster
general Issued an order IN 1909 exclud-
ing the books from the second class
rate. Thereupon the matter was taken
to the courts, the effect being that the
postmaster general was sustained by
the final decision as rendered today.
