Baby Found in Front Yard.

Quite little excitement was created
in Hesper township last Wednesday
morning about IL O'Clock, over the
finding of little baby in the front
yard of the E. Lincoln home in
that township. 1t was discovered by
one of the women folks, who went out
after the mail She heard it's pitiful
wall and looking in the direction from
which the sound came and saw a little
bundle under one of the apple trees,
and investigating its contents found
as above stated. The child WASH Il
dressed, but simply had blanket
wrapped around it. and from the APP
pearance of the child it couldn't have
been over few hours or day old al
the most. No clue as to the identity
of the party or parties who abandoned
the child there has yet been discovered.
The little founding was taken to
the poor farm Saturday.

The DEBORAH Merchants Band
appeared at the Rock Island Park last
Wednesday evening, resplendent in
fine new uniforms, and gave a most de-
lightful concert to an immense crowd

cake was served at tables throughout
the park and nice sum was realized
by the boys to help defray the cost of
their new uniforms.

the Grand Opera house was out last
Thursday night to, enjoy the pan
tomine, Ginevra, or Under the Mistle-
toe Bough, under the direction of the
Mistletoe Lyceum Co., of New York,
given by the ladies of the Episcopal
church. Between 100 and 200 local
people participated in the production,
which was one of the very best home
talent entertainments ever given in
DEBORAH. The audience was most en-
thusiastic in their approval and ap-
probation of the play, and the COM
ments were many and highly COM
plimentary to the manner in which
each individual carried out his part.

Manager M. P. Moran, of the local
Standard Telephone exchange, met
with an accident last Thursday fore
noon. which caused his family and
many friends much anxiety, owing to
the fact that for 48 hours he was in a
dazed condition and unable to give
any satisfactory explanation of how
he met with the accident, which
occurred in the alley back of B. E.
Bucknell's residence, where Mr..
Moran had gone to fix crossed wire.
After asking permission to cut limb
he went to nearby residence ard bor-
rowed a saw. and went back and
sawed the limb and in some manner
or other lost his balance and fell a
distance of some IS or 20 feet striking
on his head and shoulders, but re-
gained his equilibrium Immediately
and stepping into his buggy drove to
his home, and going in told his wife
that he was awfully sick and went to
his room, and physician was called,
but as stated above he could give no
cause for his peculiar condition. Even
after his senses became clear he had
no recollection of the fall, or getting
into his buggy and driving home.
But M. P is made of the kind of stuff
that little IS or 20 foot fall isn't
going to put him down and out. and he
was back at his desk at the Standard
office Saturday morning smiling and
cheerful as ever.

OPINION BY COUNSEL.
Reports on Regulation to Govern
Slaughter Houses.

Corporation Counsel Thomas has notified
the Commissioners that he does not be-
lieve it advisable to promulgate an order
as an amendment to the police regulations
to govern the stock yards, slaughter houses
and packing houses in the District, and that
it would be more satisfactory to have a
congressional enactment
Mr.. Thomas pointed out that inasmuch as
the Court of Appeals had ruled that the ex-
erc1se OF the police power was addressed
to the reasonable regulation of the exer-
else of right, not the imposition of duty"
he would not advise the Commissioners to
adopt the regulations under the framing of
police power. Mr.. Thomas report was in
answer to an. inquiry of Health Officer
Woodward, who recently asked whether the
Commissioners are empowered with the au-
thority to promulgate such a regulation.
AS DR.. Woodwards regulations govern
ing slaughter houses, packing houses and
stock yards are looked upon as important it
is said the congressional action will be
asked.
