Death Of Eula waIeott.

Eula, aged eight years, the only child Of
l Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Malcott, died at nall
I past twelve o'clock Friday morning after
a very brief illness, due to autointoxica-
ton Of the intestinal eanai-autnintoxica-
tion being a form of self-poisoning By
toxic matters generated within the in
testinai canal or some other part Of the
body.
Wednesday noon Of last week she started
Tor school, apparently as well as usual
and had two cents with which 10 buy q
pencil. Accompanied by little Helene
Ranney and Esther stimets, she went into
the store Of Hubbard a Blodgett, bought
the pencil with one penny, and with the
/ other purchased four pieces OF candy, each
being one by two inches in size, which she
and Helene ate.
! Candy had always caused Eula digestive
troubles, and when she went home from
school m the afternoon she complained OF
being chilly and feeling sick. She could
eat no supper and grew more and more
nauseated, suffering severely till midnight,
and after that time tossing her arms aud
talking irrationally the rest OF the night.
Between and O'Clock Thursday morn
ing, Dr. A. Z. Bailey was called and found
a very sick child. lie left medicine TO
allay the digestive disturbance which
seemed to be distressing her, and was to be
summoned again II no change for the bet
ter In her condition followed the treat
ment. About O'Clock that evening she
was so much worse that DR.. Bailey was
sent for and DR.. Rumrill also called in
consultation. AutointoXieation, however,
had proceeded so far that il was impOssi-
bic to save the child, and she breathed her
last with the approach Of another day.
The candy, which had undoubtedly
been the exciting cause OF her trout BILE, had
not affected Helene Ranney in the least
and probably would have been equally
harmless TO Eula had she been in a
normal. healthy condition. The physi-
clans consulted were OF the opinion that
an autopsy would reveal nothing not
already known, 50 il was decided not 10
hold one; but, to settle the question re-
garding the candy, a sample has been for
warded to the state laboratory at Burling-
ton for analysis, the result OF which can
not be ascertained for week or more.
Another child, Frank Mutually, who was
also sick and reported to be badly affected
from eating the candy, has really been
having an attack Of the grip, resulting
from his getting chilled while skating.
The funeral service at the Walcott home
on Prospect avenue was held at O'Clock
Sunday afternoon, Rev. Samuel Knowles,
pastor Of the Baptist church, officiating,
assisted by Rev. DR.. A l.. Cooper OF the
Methodist church. DR.. A. Z. Bailey,
Glenn and Miss L.ettie Bailey and Mrs. A.
J. Russlow sang. The bearers were Harry
Morton, Fred Fairbanks, Howard Drew
and James Rand, and the burial was in
southyiew cemetery. Among those pres
ent at the service were Mrs. Nalcotts
brother and his wife, Mr.. and Mrs. Z. A.
