A rase whlrh will rrcelve the at
tention of the coroner and police de
partment was disclosed Monday amonf tht
iriortnarjr returns filed at the office of the
Board of Health. One of the deaths re
ported was that of an infant whose nime
was given as Jennie Zlmmerer and whose
death occurred Saturday last at the Child
Raving Institute. The return Is made by
Dr. V. H. Christie on one of the postal
cards provided by the department for that
purpose, and In tho space marked for com
ment as to the cause of death appear the
words: "Starved. Attempted strangula
tion." The date of the child's birth is given
as AugriRt 14 and the date of death as Sep
tember 13, and the name of the mother Is
noted on the card as F. Zlmmerer.
In explanation of his report to the Board
of Health. Dr. Christie eald: "The child
died of starvation because It could not as
similate Its food, probably because It. had
not been properly nourished during the
first few days after Ha birth. I was told at
the Institute that the mother starved the
child and then attempted to strangle It."
Dr. Christie did not see the child until the
day of tta death.
ffnmr Secrecy A boot It.
The Identity of the child's mother Is un
known to the matron of the Institute, Mrs.
Edwards, who Is In oharge during the ab
ence of Superintendent Clark from the city.
Ehe rcfuecd to say who brought the child
to the Institute.
"I am In honor bound not to tell the
name of the party who brought the child
here," said Mrs. Edwards, "at least for the
present, for It was purely a charitable act.
I have Investigated aomo myself and no
good could come of making the name of
the party or the name of the mother public.
I am sure no one could be brought to Jus
tice. I understand the mother of the child
was an unmarried woman who does not live
In Omaha and who la not here now. We
have no positive evidence that she at
tempted to strangle the c'llld or to starve
It. Had I thought It would have done any
good I would have reported to the authori
ties when the child was brought here."
The child was received Into the Institute
under circumstances out of the ordinary.
It was brought there during the absence
of Mrs. Edwards, at 10:30 o'clock at night,
and received by an attendant.
Talk of Attempted Murder.
Mrs. Edwards said of the child's recep
tion Into the Institute: "A party brought
It here late at night and was told by the
attendant that no one was here to receive
It and It would have to be brought back
the next day. Then the party said the
mother of the child had attempted to mur
der It and if It was given back to her, she
would murder it. The mother was sick
In bed, so it was Bald to the attendant at
the institute, with the little one by her
aide. Presently the mother got out of bed
and crossed the room and then came back
to the little one. At this time the baby'a
face was very black. The party who brought
the baby to the Institute then took it from
the mother and accussed ber of try
ing to kill it. This the mother
denied. Under those conditions it
waa received that night, and when I made
an examination of it. I found that lta little
throat waa bruised aa though an attempt
bad been made to choke it. The skin waa
not broken, but the akin and fleah waa dis
tinctly brulaed.
"Now whether the condition resulting
from the attempted strangulation caused the
starvation of the child I am not prepared
to say, but the doctors said death waa due
to starvation. It waa a beautiful baby and
we hoped to be able to bring It through."
Coroner Bralley will make a thorough In
vestigation of the caae today. "According
to the death certificate," said Mr. Bralley,
"it looks like a case of murder. The caaa
should have been reported to the authorities
at onca by the management of the Insti
tute." Dr. Christie aald he did not believe that
the attempted strangulation of the child had
anything to do with ita death and he men
tioned It on the burial certificate because
he learned at the Institute that the mother
of the child had tried to strangle it.
Another Fortune (or Charity.
A $1,000,000 fortune waa recently left to
one of the charitable Institutions In the
east, and while the Idea ia very praise
worthy and will no doubt accomplish much
good, there are many other agencies which
accomplish Just aa much good. Take Hos
tetter'a Stomach Bitters for example.
During the past fifty years It has restored
hundreds of people to health by curing
them of Indigestion, dyspepsia, constipa
tion, billousneea and malaria, fever and
ague. It will do aa much for you today.
Try It and aee.

MARKET BREAKS THE RECORD
Five Hondred Car of Live, atm-k
Arrive at "oath Omaha
In a Day.
The largest number of cattle arrived at
South Omaha yesterday In the history of
the market. There were BOO care or 1J.
7!U head. On August 25 of this year 428
cars or 11.071 head arrived, which up to
yesterday waa the high mark. Practically
all the cattle were western rangera and a
good proportion of them were good enough
for beef. Two different packers each
bought over 1.000 head, which la some
thing rather unusual. The capacity of tho
stock yards was not overtaxed, but on the
contrary there was no more confusion
than on days when receipt are not half
aa large. The officials of the Stock Tarda
company had anticipated heavy receipts
this fall and made preparations for han
dling all the cattle that are likely to ar
rive. Trading was active from atart to finish
and the market held up remarkably well
In the fact of big supplies at all points.
The better class of cattle aold at practi
cally steady prlcea with laat week, but
the Inferior gradea naturally aold a trifle
lower. The break, though, was not at all
serious and operators expressed consider
able eurprlse at the aeemlngly Inexhaust
ible demand from both killers and feed
buyers. By , 3 o'clock in the afternoon
over 9.000 cattle were aold and weighed
up, and it looked then as though the pena
would be practically empty before night.

THREE SERGEANTS GO DOWN
Weiitnberg, Davits and Bsbout Itduoed to
Bank of Patrslmsn.
H. W. DUNN MADE CHIEF OF DETECTIVES
Board Adopts Resolution Providing
for Temporary Increase of Poflce
Force by Addition of
Thirty br More Men.
Although the matinee session of the
Board of Fire and Police Commissioners
yesterday was not of long duration, several
important changes in the police depart
ment were effected, and In results It may
be said that more business waa transacted
than at many of the evening meetings.
Provision was made for Increasing the de
partment by the appointment of thirty ad
ditional men, the office of chief of detec
tives was created and Henry W. Dunn was
appointed to that position and Sergeants
Henry Welsenberg, D. Davles and A. Be
bout were reduced to the ranks and H. C.
Cook, L. Rentfrow and J. Gibbons pro
moted to take their places, and W. H.
Shoop was relieved from duty at pawn
shop detective and assigned to regular
patrol duty, George Stryker being ap
pointed a member of the department as a
detective.
Following it the full text of tha resolu
tion providing for the increase in the
force:
Unsolved, That the police force be in
creased temporarily by the addition of
thirty or more men, and the chief of police
Is hereby Instructed to receive applications
and HUbmlt them to the Board of Fire and
Police Commintiloners on or before Satur
day. September 20. 1902.
For "More Effective Working." '
The action of the board aa to the change
of sergeants is effected and set forth in a
eBolutlon declaring "that the more effective
working of the police department requires
that Henry Welsenberg, D. Davles and A.
Bebout be relieved from their duties as ser
geants," and accordlngtly relieving them
from auch duties and assigning them aa pa
trolmen; and appointing aa sergeants H. C.
Cook, L. Rentfrow and J. Gibbons.
Following is the resolution whereby Henry
W. Dunn becomes chief of detectives:
Be it resolved, by the Board of Fire and
Police Commissioners of the city of Omaha,
That the offlce of chief of detectives Is
hereby created, and that Henry W. Dunn
be and la hereby appointed as cfiief of de
tectives, with the rank and pay of captain,
and under the chief and senior captains,
and that said order shall he in effect from
and after September 16, 1902.
In the resolution appointing George Stry
ker a member of the force as a detective, it
is not specified that he shall be pawnshop
detective, but from hla appointment at the
same time aa the removal of Shoop it is
presumed that auch la the purpose.
Instructing the Chief.
In addition to the action mentioned above
the board devoted some little attention to
instructiona to the chief and other members
of the police department, one resolution
adopted being aa follows:
Resolved, That where there is continuous
breach of law or ordinance on the beat of
any patrolman, failure to observe and re
port the same will be considered Incompe
tence or willful negligence on the part of
such patrolman.
In another resolution the board directed
the attention of the chief and men to the
rule of the board prohibiting the "officers
and men of the department, while in uni
form or while on duty, from drinking in
toxicating liquor In saloons or other places
of public resort" Appended to this Is an
announcement that the rule will hereafter
be rigidly enforced and violations will be
attended by the dismissal of the offenders.
One resolution which waa adopted quotes
several paragraphs from the election law
bearing upon the manner In which the poll
ing places shall bq protected, and particu
larly prohibiting electioneering within 100
feet of any polling place. The chief and
other members of the department are in
structed to strictly enforce the provisions
of this law.
By motion It was determined that Harry
Trimble and Frank Brundage shall be placed
at the head of the Hat for appointment on
the Ore department. Theae men were re
ported at the last meeting by Chief Salter
at having aerved the probationary term of
aixty days and recommended by him for
regular appointment. The chief waa at
that time instructed to notify the men that
"their aervlces would not be required."
