BABY HORRIBLY BURNED
BY Boiling Grease-Skin All Came OF
One Side Of Face and Head
Thought Her Disfigured for Life.
Used Cuticura: No Scar Left.

my baby was sitting beside the
fender and we were preparing the
breakfast when the frying-pan full of
boiling grease was upset and it went all
over one side of her face and head.
Some one wiped the scald with a
towel, pulling the entire skin off. We
took her to a doctor. He tended her
week and gave me some stuff to put
on. But it all festered and thought
the baby was disfgured for life. I
used about three boxes of Cuticura
Ointment and it was wonderful how
it healed. In about five weeks it was
better and there wasn't mark to tell
where the scald had been. Her skin
Is just like velvet. Mrs. Hare, 1,

Contract Prison Labor.

Gov. Warner made his first visit to
the Detroit house of correction Satur
day afternoon. Supt Mcdonnell took
him on tour Of inspection through
the institution. which sells everything
manufactured by the prisoners, includ
ing furniture and pearl buttons.
After Supt. McDonnels explanation
Of the system the governor declared
that he would hereafter oppose the
private contract system in any of the
state prisons, but instead would favor
the state employing convicts at var
ious industries.
ut would be very easy" said the
governor, ito enlarge the binder Irvine
industry at Jackson as fast as present
private contracts expire. The state
could manufacture rope and grain
bags very easily and this would in
terfere very little with free labor in
the state"

Tragic in the extreme was the sui

shot herself through the heart while
facing crucifix as she was alone in
her home, two miles from Provement
a French Catholic settlement.
She had begged to be allowed 10 re
main away from church while the
other members of her family attended
services. Her fathers shotgun was
the weapon chosen for the deed and
the girl had prepared for death with
evident calmness. She placed the cru
cifix on the box stove in the parloi
and drew up chair. Then she sat
down and, placing the butt of the
gun against the stove, pulled the trig
ger.
When the family returned Mrs
Boutin was Mortified to see her
daughter sitting with head thrown
back in the chair, her waist still
smoking from the guns discharge
The shot had torn a gaping hole in
her left side.
The girl is declared to have had
nothing in the way approaching a
love affair and bore a spotless repu
tation.
The verdict OF the coroner's jury
was suicide due to melancholia." II

morning at the Boutin home, the in
quest having been begun at midnight
It was brought out at the inquest
that the girl had been reading relig
ious magazines, fasting and praying
much and was respondent. Besides
her parents she leaves three single
brothers and one married sister. Bur
ial will be at Provement.

Philander Chase Knox of Pennsyl-
vania, secretary of state in the cab
met of President Taft, was born at
Brownsville, Pa, in 1858. He was
graduated from Mount Union college,
Ohio, in 1872, and three years later
was admitted to the bar. During the
years 1876 and 1877 he served as as
sistant United States district attorney
for the western district of Pennsyl-
vania. In the latter year he formed
q law partnership with James II. Reed
which still exists and which has rep
resented many large corporations, in
GLIDING the Carnegie Company. Mr..
Knox entered President McKinley's
cabinet as attorney general in April,
1901, serving until 1904, when he was
elected United States senator from
Pennsylvania. The latter position he
resigned to become the head of Presi-
dent Taft's cabinet.
Wilson Retains His Place.
Only one member of the Roosevelt
cabinet retains his portfolio under
Mr.. Taft. That is James Wilson Of
Iowa, secretary of agriculture. So ex-
cellent had been his work in that posi-
ton that there was no serious talk Of
making a change. Born In Scotland in
1885, Mr.. Wilson came to the United
States in 1852 and three years later
settled in Iowa. In 1861 he engaged in
farming in Tama county. He was a
member of the Iowa assembly for
three sessions and speaker of the
house for one session, and also was a
member of the Iowa state railway
commission. In 1873 he was elected
to congress, serving two terms, and
was sent to the national legislature
again for one term in 1883. He was
regent of the State university of
Iowa in 1904, and in 1890 was
made director of the agricultural ex-
pertinent station and professor of agri-
culture at the Iowa Agricultural col
lege, Ames, la. In 1897 he became
secretary of agriculture.
Macveagh for the Treasury.
Franklin MacVeagh, secretary of the
treasury, was born on farm in
Chester county, Pennsylvania, gradu-
ated from Yale in 1862 and from
Columbia Law school in 1864. He be-
gan the practice of law in New York
city but ill-health forced him to aban-
don 1t and in 1865 he went to Chicago
and engaged in the wholesale grocery
business. In this and other CONNER
cial pursuits he has amassed a large
fortune. Before entering the cabinet
he disposed of his holdings in the big
grocery firm and resigned as director
OF the Commercial National bank OF
Chicago. Mr.. MacVeagh has always
been interested in movements for the
public welfare, locally and nationally.
Dickinson 10 War Secretary.
Jacob M. Dickinson of Tennessee
and Chicago, the new secretary OF
war. was born in 1851 at Columbus,
Miss. He graduated from the Uni
versity OF Nashville in 1872 and after

NOTORIOUS BANK DEFAULTER
WILL SOON BE RELEASED FROM PRISON

About April 18th, the exact date
has not yet been made known, the
great doors of Sing Sing prison will
swing open and Cornelius j. Alvord,
Jr., the shrewdest bank defaulter
New York has ever known will be
given his freedom. Alvord stole
over three-quarters of a million dol
lars from the First National Bank
of New York City and in 1900 was
sentenced to ten years imprisonment
which good behaviour has reduced
one year.
When the facts of Alvord's defalca-
tion became known, of how an OBJ
scure bank teller had robbed the con-
servative old First National Rank of
over 500, 900 it was one of the most
sensational stories that Wall Street
had ever known. The evidence at
the trial showed that for years AL
word had been leading Il dual life and
had been gambling at Saratoga 50
rashly as to attract the attention and
admiration of the old timers of that
resort. He had been receiving a sal
ary OF 81 800 a year and spending at
the rate of over $500 day. His wife
is said to have been ambitious fol

paral, diamonds, and other eXtrava.
gances that her husband could not af
ford. At first he stole little, fully
expecting to replace it, but, anxious
to crafty the tastes of his ''helpmeet'
he stole more and more, carefully
concealing his peculations by manip
ulating his "balance books"
While in prison at Sing Sing AL
word has had a clerical position il

it is said his wife has visited him oft

Upon his release Alyord expects t.
return to his home IN the village o
Stockport. The Hogsips OF the villag
state that he has snug sum plaute
to use upon his return but his relg
tives flatly contradict the story.

VALLEY COUNTY NEWS
REBUKED BY HOMESTEAD

Believing that the following will be
of interest to our readers, we quote
it from the Hinsdale Homestead:
"In quite lengthy editorial in last
weeks Valley County News, the edi-
tor of that paper complains of an un-
desirable condition existing within
the county Jail, wherein it claims the
inmates Of that institution are affect
ed with "vermin." The paper un-
doubtedly intended the article as a
rebuke against the county commits
sioners, stating as it did, that cone
Ofthe county commissioners had prom
ised a representative of the News
that he would bring it up for consi-
deratiOn at the last meeting, but
doubtless other work crowded it out
Of sight," We dare say that if the
News editor would exercise an equal
desire to tell the truth of the matter
as he has exhibited to make it appear
that the county commissioners and
other county officials have been negli.
gent in duty, he would find things
considerably different than he reports
them in his paper. In the publication
of all fair minded newspapers, it is
supposed that editors will at least
make an investigation before they go
into print and accuse those having in
charge public affairs of wrong doings,
either in open terms or by insinua-
tion, but in this case we are dis
posed to believe that the News editor
forgot himself, or the responsibility
resting upon his position, when he
rushed into print in this instance
without first knowing what he was
doing. Had he investigated the matter
he would have found it quite different
from the inference of his editorial,
and for his information, in as much
as, we presume that "other work
/ crowded out" his inquiry into the
matter, we will say that the matter
board of county commissioners, at
which time the proper officers were
instructed 20 use every diligence to
stamp out such evils, if they do
exist; that the sheriff s office did not
deny that at times the evil has exist
ed and that the condition was only
obtained by the Glasgow city govern
nlent using a part of the county Jail
as a city jail and in such use, the
county has been furnishing the city
with bedding for it's prisoners. The
county commissioners called upon the
mayor of Glasgow and laid the mat
ter before him and notified him that
the city must furnish it's own bedding
and that it must be kept separate
from the county jail bedding. The
county commissioner who "promised
a representative of the News that he
would bring it up for consideration, -
made good his promise, but the News
has done the injustice of criticisine
in it's perfect ignorance of what was
dOne.'
