Council Bluffs, May 19.-Lying asleep
inl telescope grip, a little girl baby
about one week old, was found on her
doorstep by Mrs. James I. Palmer, of
222 Seventeenth avenue, Wednesday
night, when she opened the door to
answer ring of the door bell. With
the child were several little dresses and
all of the necessary wardrobe of the
infant Four boys who live across the
road from the Palmers' claim they saw
hack drive up to the house and de-
post something on the doorstep. Then
the hack drove away some little dis
tance and waited until Mrs. Palmer
appeared and took the grip and its
contents into the house. Then the dri-
yer of the hack whipped up his horses
and drove rapidly away.
Mr.. and Mrs. Palmer have six chill

to keep this little waif if possible.

Borax In Mexico.

The only importers of borax into
Mexico are the United States and Ger
many. the latter country sending the
largest amount. The German product
contains more water than the Arneri-
can borax. This fact is readily de-
tected, as most of both kinds imported
is used for mining purposes. and the
American borax is preferred. j am
unable to ascertain the tonnage of the
large amounts of imports as borax is
classed under the head of"chemicals'
in the custom house reports. 1t Is
used by nearly all the miners here,
many of the buying in 2,000-pound lots
or more. In my opinion American ex-
porters could increase their sales
largely by making special efforts to
reach the mine workers and by calling
attention to the superior quality Of the
American product. They should send
only the best quality unless a cheaper
kind is wa4ted.-Louis Kaiser con-
sui, Mazat1sn. Mexico, February 1.

Chicago, May 19.-The case OF

late this afternoon a verdict Of guilty
Of murder in the first degree was re-
turned and fixed the penalty at DEATH
The Hoch case has been one Of the
most sensational tried in Chicago In
many years. In many respects his
case was similar to that Of the multi
murderer H. H. Holmes. It is said
that Hoch boasted Of having married
eleven women and it is supposed that
he killed at least nine Of these. The
case upon which he was tried was the
murder Of Mrs. Mary Walcker Hocft
and the evidence was very conclusive
against him. Hoch at the beginning Of
his trial asked to be tried before y
German judge and jury, expressing
belief that German jury would ac-

headway. The other vessels in the
fleet scattered early in the race, and
are probably hurrying in widely di-
vergent courses.

State Pharmacy Commissioner JOS
eph s. Goss of Atlantic, says the cen
sus for that city is nearly completed
and as the time draws near when the
announcement Of the census returns
will be made the excitement over the
census increases. The fight In that
city has been very exciting between
the temperance people and the bust-
ness men Of the city. The census of
the city as reported by the govern
ment in 1900 was over 5000 and hence
according to the mulct law 1t takes but
so per cent of the people to give their
consent before saloons can run there
The temperance people, says Mr. Goss,
in their anxiety to have the census re-
turns show less than 5,UO0 people so
that the consent Of IS per cent of the
people of the county must be obtain
ed, have in every instance possible
held .rern the census enumerator the
names of persons out Of the city. For
instance where the son OF a family is
away from home but could be reported
as a legal resident the temperance
people have withheld the names from
the enumerator. In some instances
where they had already made the re-
port the parents have been induced to
make affidavit to the enumerator to
have the name taken from the books.
The merchants on the other hand are
making a fight to have every one
counted Atlantic they claim is a
thriving city and for this reason they
~ ~
going backward in its growth for fear
this will injure the interests Of the
town. 1t is claimed there are some
thing like 1865 houses which have been
erected in the place since the 1900 CEN
sus and all are filled and there are no
other vacant houses or store buildings.
Consequently it is figured that the city
must show growth in it's census.
