CH.CAGO, July 18--Just how he will @venge the honor of his wife, who was fidden on a rail and dumped into a mud Pond, Jon H. Richardson of Volo, Ll, Would not say to-day. Nor would he I] where his wife is in hiding from her fgcensed neighbors, ‘Richardson tried at Waukegan yester- day to obtain warrants for the arrest of @very woman in the village except Miss Clara Rossdeuscher, a girl of seventeen, Who attempted to protect Mrs. Richard- on and narrowly escaped a ducking herself. But he did not succeed, It Is believed Mrs, Richardson ts now fh this city, and that nothing will in- duge her ever again to return to Volo, he was warned that hot tar and @ bed Gt feathers will be used next time she ig caught there. It was the sight of a Bail of steaming tar that made her obey the women's orders to leave the village. According to Mrs. Peter Stadsfield, wife of the village blacksmith, who mits she acted as “captain” of the band, the women of Volo have been for a long while talking of doing something to Mra. Richardson, They did not approve of Her friendliness with her brother-in-law, ‘William Dunnill, Mrs, Stadstield says. Matters came to a head Sunday when the women held a mass meeting to dis- cuss the situation and decided that im- Mediate and quite unmistakable steps ‘were necessary to vindl the rectitude of the feminine population of Volo. Mri Stadsfield, being 19) pounds in weight, athletic, and determined to boot, was ‘boven to pounce upon Mrs. Richardson and leave the rest to the others. Just as the sun was setting Tuesday Mra, Stadsfield accordingly caught Mrs. Richardson on her porch and did the Pouncing. Shé made no mistake about her strangle hold and quickly dragged the screaming woman to where the oth- ere were in waiting, As the unfortunate woman was flung {ato their midst the virtuous furie Beemed to become beside themselves, ‘They tore the woman's clothing off and tled her astride a twelve-foot rail and carried ber in a howling procession through the main street of the village {nd then toa partly dried up pond. ‘The men of the village did not inter- fere. They looked on and appeared to enjoy the woman's discomfiture, They hag been given the tip of what was to happen and had been told to hold Dun- nill, but he had given them the slip and got away. When the pond was reached Mra, Richardson was hurled in amid shouts of execration. As she tried to crawl out th@ women gathered handfuls of mud an@ pelted her, while those near enough kiéked her back into the aliiny water. ‘When they had worn themselves out punishing her they bade her to quit the village within twenty-four hours Yext day Mrs. Richardson was ill abed and did not leave. The women got a pali of tar and descended upon the Richardson home. Richardson got his wife into @ carriage and galloped away with her, He says he has complete con- fidence in her and declares he will be Javenged some how, but does not know ‘which how. Meanwhi'e Miss Rossdeuscher ts re- many compliments on her pluck, bub mot*from the women. She boldly tried to save Mrs. Richardson and only desisted when In danger of the pond her- GIRL NEARLY DROWNS TRYING TO SAVE BROTHER ‘Another Brother Brings Her to Shore After Breaking Death Grip Under Water.

I advise every mother who haa one of these score cards to do that. BABY'S FEATURES AS GUIDES TO ITS HEALTH. “Now when we come to the physical examination, there are a lot of things a mother would never know of if she did not have them pointed out to her, Take the features, for instance. don't mean by that whether the baby in pretty or not, but whether there is anything In its features that shows whether there {s anything the matter with it, There may be something the matter with Its nose that prevents {ts breathing right. When we the by hold its mouth open we expect to see enlarged tonsils and adenolds, If do, we tell the mother the simple oper: tlon of cutting out these growths will, prevent earaches and a@ tendency to catch cold, and give her child « better chance to develop ite mind. “The shape of the baby's head tells us something about the development of ite brain, Sometimes the way it has been handled has something to do with that. The little soft spot in the top of the baby'a head, called the fontanel, ought to be closed at elghteen months—most mothers don't think of that unless the are warned, Another mother may have @ perfect baby In all points but one, its ears stick out awkwardly, time to remedy that when cartilage and muscles are soft and pll- able. We show her how to correct that by placing a cap over the ears, CARE OF FIRST TEETH DETER. MINES LOOKS OF SECOND, “Another thing about which the mothers need particular warning, So the little many mothers think that the first teeth | | don't count, One baby of eighteen months that I examined had two teeth decayed among sixteen otherwise per- fect enes, The mother was surprined to learn that they should be felled to keep the shape of the mouth right for the second set of teeth. If the firat act are neglected the second teeth are Hkely not to be sound, Baby's complexion Is another important thing, Muny a mother doesn't seem to rs atize that her baby, who may be plump and well formed and to her apparently healthy, has a skin that t# foo pale or one that is not clear, Such defects show that the baby {# not in perfect health, One mother thought that her baby was inner.
