WAS 1T INFANTICIDE7
Mystery Surrounding the Finding the
Body of New Born Babe Tuesday.

Body of New Born Babe Tuesday.
The shocking discovery of a wrapped
parcel containing the dead body of
female infant on the roof of the laundry
building in the Stillman block Tuesday
morning, has brought to light mys-
terry which the local police officers and
District Attorney Fisher and a coroner's
jury have been Investigating for cou-
pie of days without arriving at def
mite conclusion.
Last Tuesday morning, while clean
ing windows from the fat roof at the
rear of her rooms, Mrs. H. r. Houfe
noticed a package or bundle lying be-
tween the side wall and an old boiler
that stood on the roof near the wall.
In attempting to move it she learned
that there was more heft than in a
mere bundle of old papers and proceed
ed to undo it. The outside wrapping
was of two papers, the Chicago Inter
Ocean and the Chicago Daily News,
then came a Woman's skirt and a
chemise and behold the form of an in
FAINT. Mr.. Houfe was at once notified
and he in turn called City Marshal Phil
Welsh. After the marshal had made
an investigation, Undertaken Clarke
was notified and requested to take
charge of the little body.
Upon examination by Drs. Morrison
| and McChesney their opinion was that
the babe was matured and had been
born alive and that time Of birth might
date back anywhere from ten days to
two weeks, all depending on the tenn
perature Of the place it might have
been kept before being placed on the
roof The body was in a semi-state of
decomposition, battling the physicians
as to what means were employed put
ting it to death. District Attorney
| Fisher was notified and came to Edger-
ton at once. A careful examination of
the papers was made, searching for
label, and of the clothing for laundry
mark that might give some clue. A
coroner's jury was impaneled that met
at o'clock Tuesday afternoon, viewed
the remains and adjourned until /
o'clock Wednesday. At the inquest on
Wednesday the testimony of several
witnesses was taken, after which the
inquest was adjourned to | O'Clock,
Saturday, May 22nd.
In the meantime the sheriff of Rock
county, Marshal Welch and members Of
| the jury will improve every available
means to ferrit out the perpetrator of
this awful crime. The evidence thus
far taken is circumstantial, but the
opinion of many is that before the case
is ended some hing will develop to
throw light on the case. After the
jury had made preliminary examina-
| ton and viewed the lifeless body, Dis
trict Attorney Fisher ordered Under
taker Clarke to bury it, which he. did,
l-ahd its little grave will probably never
be known to the mother. A mother
who would put to death and dispose of
her new born babe in the manner that
this woman did, would undoubtedly
have little concern as to its last con-
signment.

EASILY MIXED KIDNEY
RECIPE.
Effective Homemade Medi-
cine for Kidneys and
the Bladder.

What will appear very interest
ing to many people here is the
article taken from a New York
daily paper, giving simple pre-
scription, which is said to be a
positive remedy for backache or
kidney or bladder arrangement.
if taken before the stage of
Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
half ounce; Compound Paragon, one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsapa
rilla three ounces. Shake we'll in
bottle and take in teaspoonful
doses after each meal and again at
bedtime.
A well-known druggist here at
home, when asked regarding this
prescription, stated that the in
gradients are all harmless, and
can be obtained at a small cost
from any good prescription phar-
macy, or the mixture would be
put up if asked to do so. He
further stated that while this
prescription is often prescribed in
rheumatic affections with splendid
results, he could see no reason why
it would not be splendid remedy
for kidney and urinary troubles
and backache, as it has peculiar
action upon the kidney structure,
cleansing these most important or
gans and helping them to sift and
filter from the blood the foul acids
and waste matter which cause sick
ness and suffering. Those of our
readers who suffer can make no
mistake in giving it trial.
