should not be brought to trial because of his mental condition.
 Attorney B. M Holden was ap- pointed by the court last week to look after Salernos interests should his case come to trial but his services will probably not be needed as disposition of the charges have already been made except for the formal return of the commissions report.
 States Attorney Alcorn expects that the final cha pter in the story of the murder will be recorded within a few days when Salerno is committed to the asylum where he will probably spend the remainder of his days.
 Typhoid on the wane
 Plainville's typhoid epidemic has been checked and will probably die out in shart time is the opinion of Health Officer J. N. Bull. The phy- sician has arrived at this conclusion because of the fact that for several days there have been no new cases of the disease and the situation seems to be steadily improving.
 Dr. Bull said this morning that there are no new developments in the epidemic. The condition of all the patients suffering from the disease is becoming more favorable and the prospects for their recovery are much brighter.
 pr. Bull intends to invite Chairman Black of the state board of health to visit Platnville and again investigate conditions. In a short time he hopes to be able toauthorize Lyman H. Burt to resume the delivery of milk.
 The health officer is satisfied in his own mind as to the source of the cpl demic but he feels in justice to all concerned he cannot mako any state ment placing responsibility, at least until the evidence is made positive
 As has been the case in many pla ces where similar epidemics have occurred the mystery as to where the germs came from originally may never be known. Should the examination of water taken from wells on farms where thesuspended milk was obtained show an absence of typhoid bacilli, it will proba bly, be impossible to estab- fish conclusively the source Of the epidemic.
