Evidence of Murder Found at Musca-

Evidence of the murder of an infant
was found at Muscatine Saturday,
when the body of babe wrapped in
a night robe was picked up from the
ice under the high bridge. A post
mortem examination showed that the
child had lived after birth and its
death had evidently been caused by
exposure. The only clew is the mark
''E. W." on the night robe. E. c. LAT
lin, Muscatine laundryman, identified
the letters as having been written by
himself and an inspection of the books
of the laundry has placed certain par
ties under suspicion.

VOTERS AGAINST II
Davenporters Do Not Take
Kindly to Commission Form
of Government.
PROJECT LOSES AT ELECTION
Organization of the Opposition Sue
ceeded in clouding the Public
Mind with Doubt.

Davenport will not change its form
of government, at least for a few
years. The special election held Sat
urday resulted in a vote against the
proposition 3,111 to 2,713, a majority
of 1898. The total vote, while but little
more than half a full expression, was
considered fair for a special election.
The influences that led to defeat
are mainly those which have been rem
cation of the lid. The fact that the
saloons were closed all day Saturday
for the first time at an election. and
they were to be closed Saturday night
and Sunday as well probably had some
effect in putting the voters out of the
mood to deal with experiments. 1t
had been represented that government
under a commission would mean the
lid henceforward and forever and the
idea gave the staid German citizens
commissions The saloons were solid
against the innovation and the west
end of the city went cOntrariwise al
most two to one. Advocates of the
plan had their stronghold on the bluff
in the eastern part of the city. where
the vote was almost two to one for the
change.
Sentiment Changed.
1t is conceded that had the election
taken place two or three weeks ago
there would have been no doubt about
the commission plan carrying. The
opponents organized scarcely a week
before the election and succeeded in
a very short time in sowing the seed
of doubt so thoroughly that it resulted
in a crop of adverse votes Saturday.
Des Moines is left the only city in
Iowa which has availed itself of the
state law which authorizes government
by commission.
