Farris, now under indictment for the murder of John Moppin, a brother-in-law of Burnett. Moppin and Burnett for sewral months had been enemies, owing to Moppin's paying too uinch attention to Cloe Bur­ nett, a daughter of Burnett by a former wife. Burnett and his wife had been to Vienna on business during the afternoon, and in their absence Moppin and the girl, as was their custom, met in Johnson cem­ etery, only a short distance from the girl's residence. About the time the par­ ents should return, the girl started to re­ turn home, but at once saw b«r parents. Mrs. Burnett, a sister of Moppip, said ,to her husband: "Shoot himi" "Shoot iiim!" and the fatal shot was supposed to have been fired from % gun in the hands Burnett. The body was taken from where it fell in the cemetery to the farm of C. M. FaWfa, half a* mile away, and placed in front of his gate. While there, tiro shots were fired at Mr. Farris' hotiso, and going out, he claims to have ret vir feed fhe shots. f Early next morning he dfcr covered Moppin's body and at once re- „ ported the case to the otBcers.

In the ^119 bed with Pryor slept his ^ife and 10-year-old 6on, G rover, and in the same , room, four feet away, slept Arthur, an-, oilier sou, aged 24. The most mysteri- , ous part of the whole matter is that >neither of them heard the shot that killed the husband and father. The younger son, who slept with his parents, was aroused about 3:30 a. m. by some strange noise. He awakened his mother, who also aroused the elder boy, Arthur. They , all claimed they smelled burning powder in the room. Arthur found the outside kitchen door and also the door leading into the room in which they slept both - standing open. A target rite stood in the corner of an adjoining room. Arthur • Pryor had borrowed it a few days be­ fore to kill rabbits. No cartridge was in the gun, and if this weapon was used by the murderer he removed the empty shell. Pryor was very eccentric, and It was known by his neighbors that he and his wife had frequent disagreements. He would leave home and remain away a year without the family knowing any­ thing of his whereabouts. He had just disposed of his interest' in their farm to Mrs. Pryor, who, it is said, paid over .to him $300. Two hundred and twenty- eight dollars was found under the pillow -SSHlwre the body lay. v fui:: Lindewall Guilty of MUfdeft • Galesburg, after being out thirty- Wte hours the jury found Charles A. fcfndewall guilty of the murder of Peter Bollenbach last June and imposed the death penalty.

The mur­ der was unprovoked, Lindewall thought he had left' some money with Bollen­ bach. The latter denied it. Lindewall tfcen went out, procured a revolver, re-, turned and asked for the money again aid then shot Bollenbach jelead. !?XV. To Write Illinois' History. a The annual convention of the Illinois historical Society has been called for Peoria Jan. 5 and 6. President H. W. Beckwith of Danville has issued the pro­ gram. Papers will be read by Dr. Ed­ wards, formerly State superintendent of schools, Dr. Snyder of Virginia, J. H. Burnham of Bloomington. C. H. McCon- aell of Chicago and Dr. Robert Beall of L«con. After the convention a dozen his- . I»rians will make a tour of the State, Visiting Kaskaskia and other historical centers, for the purpose of gathering data • and photographs for a history of Illinois: * New Factory Town Building. The work of building a new factory town at Winthrop Harbor, near the Wis­ consin Stat* line, has progressed rapidly ;titis fall.

In the Circuit Court at Shelbyville, after considering the case less than an hour, a jury awarded Miss Leefe Sher- burn $10,000 damages against Samuel Lorton for breach of promise. Both* par­ ties are from Cowden. James Kinney, supposed to have been killed in a brawl in Chicago last March, was arrested the other day by Lieut. Howard of the Desplaines street station. The police wonder who the man was they buried after identifying his ninains as those of Kinney. t • Being unable to agree upon a site for the new Western Normal School, the board of trustees has decided to appoint an advisory board, composed of wholly disinterested persons, to examine pro­ posed sites, consider offers that have been made and make recommendations to the trustees. Judge Allen in the United States Cir­ cuit Court at Springfield dissolved the temporary injunction which he had issued on the motion of David Rankih, Jr., re­ straining the St. Louis and Belleville Suburban Railroad from boildlng an ad­ ditional track from East St. Louis to Belleville. The Chiea^b Federation of Labor adopted resolutions 'condemning the find­ ing of the State Board of Arbitration in its investigation of the piano and or­ gan makers' strike and lockout, and re- Quested the American Federation of La# hor to make a thorough investigation of the board's action. Forefathers' day was celebrated at {jraiesburg in the Central Church by the Central Illinois Congregational Club. Three hundred of the leading Congrega- tionalists of that part of the State as­ sembled. Peoria sent a delegation of sixty and many other cities were well represented. Dr. C. A. Vincent delivered the address of welcome. The annual ad4ress was by Dr. Draper, president of the State university. In the appeal case of the city of Chi­ cago against Charles Netcher, the Su­ preme Court sustains the criminal Court of Cook County in holding as void two ordinances of the city of Chicago. One of the ordinances forbids the sale or ex­ position of meats, fish, butter, cheese, lard, vegetables or other provisions by any firm or corporation in the same place where dry goods, clothing, jewelry or drugs are sold, and the other forbids the sale of meat or fermented liquors in such a place. The appellee, Charley Netcher, is proprietor of the Boston store, a de­ partment store in Chicago. Several days ago a well-dressed man committed suicide in a lodging house in Springfield, and the remains were un­ identified, although they were supposed at first to be those of George John Hahn Of Galesburg, and later those^ of J. M. Smith of Decatur, both being wrong. Later E. S. Osborn of Springfield iden­ tified them as his bro.ther-in-law, Charles Reynolds. Reynolds was antil about two years ago a leading farmer, residing near Greenfield, Iowa. Family troubles re­ sulted in separation from his wife. Rey­ nolds deeded his property, amounting to several thousand dollars, to his wife, tw» daughters and the son, and started out ^new in life. He came to Springfield, and after visiting his sister went to a lodging house, where he committed sui­ cide by taking strychnine. Four thousand acres on the lake shore in Benton township, just north of Wau- kegan, have been selected, it js said, as a site for a modern city for the disciples of divine healing. The town ia to be founded at no distant date by John Alex­ ander Dowie. Just when the city will be built is not known, for the details of the scheme have been kept secret, but it is thought ground will be broken about Feb. 1. It is promised "The City of Zion," as the municipality is to be called, will hshre a population of about 20,000. Although little, if any, information has corne directly from Dowie regarding the latest scheme, several of his lieutenants have given out information which leads to the inference that the "divine healer" eventually will give up all his interests in Chicago and devote himself to the estab­ lishment of the new city. There will be stores, hotels, factories and other enter­ prises, all to be conducted tinder the di­ rection of Dowie. To carry out the plana $1,000,000 is to be raised. j The Springfield street car strike, which had been in force since Nov. 12, was settled at a conference of business men, striking employes and Superintend­ ent Minary of the street car company. The strike was begun on account of the refusal of the company-to recoguiae tne union of the car men. At the outset of the strike the company offered to take back all its striking employes, but stead­ fastly refused to recognize the union in dealing with them. TJie union, seeing that it was useless to further insist up- 6n its recognition, waived this point and ordered the men to retuhi to work, which they did. The next dfry, however, they were called out again by the Federation of Labor. It is claimed that the agree­ ment under which the strike was settled has been broken by Manager Minary in his refusal to rciustate one of the men and offering to send another to Peoria to get a job. It is further charged tfia't a new man was placed oti a e;Vr abestd of the men who were reinstated by the agreement. The Federation threatens to .fight to the bitter end. * - ' A class of 480 candidate^ was initiated 'By the Royal Arcanum uH Mo<!inab ^itm- It .was the larg­ est class in the history of the organiza­ tion.

JSleven persons were burned to death, eight others fatally burned and half a dozen injured in the most harrowing dis­ aster of years in Quincy, 111., at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon. While a score of happy children were on the stage in the auditorium of St. Francis' Catholic school rehearsing for a Christmas entertainment, the garments of one of the children came in cohtact with a burning gas jet. In (an instant the flames spread over her. The little ones screamed and as they and the sis­ ters rushed to each other's assistance the terror of the situation appalled them and a panic followed. The fire depart­ ment hurried to the scene and the flames were quickly extinguished, but there re­ mained the task of taking out charred bodies and of rescuing the little ones who wer^ lying 'in half-suffocated an­ guish. The dead are: Ireua Freiburg, May Wavering, Mary Althoff. Bernadina Frennd, Colletta Middeudorf. Mary Hickey, Wilhclmiua Outtwdorf, Oliva Tinipe, Addie Futterfcr, Josephine Bohpie. Margaret Warner. In the hall at the time of! thtv calamity there wfre between 500 and 000 pupils •f the school and a number of children from Saint Aloysius' orphan asylum, near by. They had been invited to attend the- dress, rehearsal, whi#h had begun early/ in the afternoon and eight numbers on the program had Wen given before the tragedy occurred. The ninth num­ ber was a tableau. "The Birth of Christ," and every one of the little girls, ranging from 8 to 12 years of age, who were to take part in it is either dead or fatally burned. , The girls Were just preparing to take their places On the stage, when Laurcna Menke, who was adjusting her mask, came in contact with the gas jet in the dressing room. In an instant she was enveloped in flames and as she ran screaming among the other girls their clothing was* set on fire. The screams of the sisters and horror- stricken girls behind the curtains start­ ed a panic in the front part of the hall and before any of the girls whose cloth-* ing had ^en set on fire h/ad emerged from the stage the juvenile audience was rushing pell mell cfown the stairs to the street. Oscar Knthman, 9 years old% leaped from a third-story window, but suffered nothing more than a broken fin­ ger. But for the fight against the flames made by Father Andrew and the sisters the list of dead and injured would have been much longer. Probably the sad­ dest sight was that presented by little Bernardino Freuiide, who ran down the stairs with nearly all of her elothiug burned off and threw herself into the arms of a man, crying, "I am Bertie Freund," and fell lifeless to the floor. The excitement inside the building was soon intensified by the situation without. Crowds congregated in an instant and parents soon came searching with anx­ ious eyes for their little ones. The land­ ing at the third floor was a combination of hospital and morgue. Bodies charred to a crisp were lying there, side by side with forms in which life still remained. Father Andrew was seriously burned about the hands. Prof. Musholt and Sisters Theotama. Ludwiga, Redultha and Ephren were also badly burned in rescuing the children who ran through the halls and around the building, shriek­ ing and begging to be saved. St. Francis school is where the, mem­ bers of the congregation of St. FVancis' Catholic Church, one of the largest and most flourishing in the city, educate their children. It is a handsome new building across the street from the imposing church. In the rear of the church is the St. .Francis monastery, and in the block adjoining is S^» Francis Solamcs Col­ lege, one of the largest of its kind in the West. All of these institutions are lo­ cated in the northeast part of the city. fhe runontJEnncellit Explittf ft His Home in North flfld, Mtaa, t L. Moody died at his home in 'rtMMd. Muss., at noon Fridajv The end came suddenly, though the great eVangelisf had been ailing, for some tiitoti. A few weeks ago he was compelled to give up his work in Kansas City. Mo., and go to his home. At that time he re­ covered somewhat and his physician for a time had hopes 01' his complete recov­ ery. Dwight L. Moody, the. greatest of re­ vivalist, wa^ born at Northfield, Mass., Feb. 5, 1837. He received but little ed­ ucation, and. if reports are true, was averse to study.* When Mr. Moody was 17 years old i»e left the farm at North- field and became a clerk in a shoe store in Boston. His father died when he was 4 years old. Moody was one of nine children, and the mother had a hard struggle to keep the family together. From Boston Mr. Moody went to Chi­ cago in 1850. clerking again in a shoe styre. Here he- displayed the practical energy for which lie had been noted all h's life long. Mr. Moody's first missionary work was done in Chicago, where he commenced his famous North Market Hall Mission sthooJ, now developed into Moody insti­ tute. It was in a tough district. The old hall was used 011 Saturday nights fdr dances. After the .crowds left Mr. Moody and one or two of his associates would spend the early hours of Sunday morning in cleaning up the sawdust and filth and putting the room in order for Christian work. This thing was kept, up for six years. Then Mr. Moody rented a saloon that'would accommodate about 1KM) persons. He boarded up the side windows ami furnished it with unpninted pine board seats. It was a dismal, un- veatilated place, and during service it was necessary to have policemen guard the door and building. Besides Moody institute in Chicago, two well-endowed educational institu­ tions have grown up at Northfield, Mass., under Mr. Moody's fostering care, the one for girls, the other. Mount Hermon school, for young men. The Mount Her­ mon School for Summer Workers was established in 1880. There Mr. Moody spent his summers withjhus family. One of his sons,is the editofof a church pa­ per and the other is a boy yet at school studying for the Congregational minis­ try. He has two idauehters, both of whom are married. His wife was Miss Emma C. Revell of Chicago. Mr. Moody was as well known and respected in Eng- land us in America. tttE DEAD OF THE MAINE. ' It is rumored in Europe that, in retal­ iation for the gathering of the English Channel and Mediterranean smiadrons at Gibraltar, the French and Russians may attempt to seize the Spanish port of Ceuta, which lies across the straits in Africa. Ceuta, a town of 10,000 inhabit­ ants, is well fortified and is important as naval and military center. It is used by Spain as a penal coicny and as head- resented and presenting -4,'Biididates I^ra- yards. It is l>oli»'Yeil m-. mi gressive Council, No. VHO, won the hon­ ors, having eighty-five candidates.. The report of the free State employ­ ment offices at Chicago from Aug. 1 to Ehec. 10 shows that 24,984 applications for employment were received and posi­ tions secured for 14,851. Of 19,198 ap­ plications for help from employees 4,347 remain unfilled. Fire broke out in the South Chicago Hotel and the large structure was soon a mass of flames from basement to gar­ ret. The old building was of frame and located at 330 Ninety-second street. It was four stories in height, and had a frontage of 100 feet oh Exchange avenue. The damage is over $20,000. Henry Bussard, aged 20, son of the village marshal, shot himself at Strawn in an alley back of his home, and died five hours later. Before dying he con­ fessed the deed. He had Been in declin­ ing health forrsome time- past, and had said at times he would take his life. Wayne D. Moore died at Sherman hos­ pital, Elgin, from concussion of the brain, aused by being sandbagged in Chicago m the night of Nov. 29 while on his way to his home in Elgin. He was in the employ of J. C. Engley & Co;, coal dealers, Chicago, and was unconscious for ten days after the slugging. He was then taken to Elgin, and had been un- euiaciousmortorttw-tiaMBinee. RECORD-BREAKING RUN. Burlinirtou Fast Mail Makes an Aver­ age Speed of Eighty Miles an Hour. Another record-breakiug run of the "fast mail" train of the Burlington road was made a few days since. The train left BuAington. Iowa, thirty-six minutes late and arrived in Chicago on time. The distance is 206 miles, and was covered in 209 minutes, including all stops. The run of eighty-three miles from Mendota to Chicago was made in seventy-six min­ utes--the best time ever made between those points. The forty-six miles be­ tween Mendota and Aurora was covered in thirty-nine minutes. Nearly all the way there was a heavy head wind and the train was unusually heavy. Deduct­ ing the time for mail and water, the average rate of speed of the train was about eighty .miles an hour. During some* spurts it is lielieved that a speed of ninety miles an hoar wpk attained.

The United States battleship Texas will bring home the bodies of the heroes of the ill-fated Maine from Havana. It is fiting that this vessel should be select ed for the task, as she is the only sister ship of the Maine on our navy list. Con­ gress has madf? an appropriation of $10, 000 for the removal of the bodies of the dead sailors to the land in whose service they sacrificed their lives. The great silent majority of those that met their death in Havana harbor when the Maine went to destruction have been left buried pretty much as they fell, fac ing the enemy. A few of the bodies of officers of rank hnre been brought back to the land of ther ,birth. A total of 192 bodies were burinSin ̂ 170 coffins, which tells the tale of fese mutilated beyond all semblance of individuality. Of the 192 but 74 were actually or supposedly identified, the others being mere parts, or so badly injured as to be beyond rec ognition. Nineteen of the bodies were buried with imposing ceremonies on the 19th ot February, 1898--four days after that fearful night -in the beautiful Colon cemetery. Afterward 148 others Vere buried in Havana. Twenty-five of the dead were carried to Key West and buried on the Government reservation, and it is likely that the bodies will »re main there. Of the total 209 lost 08 are still missing and buried beneath the wreck of the ship in Havana harbor. The bodies are to be transferred to zinc-liued caskets, hermetically sealed, after which they will be boxed up in the usual way aud marked with the identi­ fying or part identifying record already on file. From the moment the bodies are received on board ship the ensign will be carried at half-mast, and will so con­ tinue till the laBt coffin has been, trans­ shipped at Norfolk. Owing to the deep draught of the Texas it would be impossible for her to bring the remains to Washington, and it will be necessary to transfer them to a large barge, or a couple of the big navy tugs.

THK I.OCATIOX OF CTTCTA. the loss of huniber trf l would take a*;l: Globe National Bank of Boston Closed by Comptroller I)awe«. The strenuous efforts to save the Globe National Bank of Boston failed. Friday morning its doors were closed and Spe­ cial Bank Examiner Daniel G. Wing, at the request of Comptroller Dawes, took tharge of the company's affairs. The bank has deposits of over $8,000,000, and its total liabilities are more than $10,- 000,000, The bank officials say they do not think the depositors will lose a dol­ lar, and that the bulk of the losses re­ cently sustained by the bank will fall on the stockholders. It was the troubles of the Globe that caused the Squire and Broadway fail­ ures. The difficulties originated some time since, when Charles H. Cole, then president, associated himself with T.» A. Clark and W. A. Coolidge for the purpose of floating what is known as the "Three C" group of mining: stocks. Of this group United States Mining and United States Oil were the priucipul properties. On these stocks vast sums were loaned, and early in the fall the crisis was re­ ported when the bank examiner called a halt. That official seriously questioned the value of the mining and other stock upon which heavy sums had been loaned, and for a time it looked as though he sslon of the property as receiver at once. Several days ago the clearing house of Boston advanced $3,500,000 to assist the Globe bauk in its difficulties, all but about $20<'MJOO haying been paid in cash before th< close of business Thursday. The clearing house declined to lend fur­ ther assis/.uice.

In 1822 he took the degree of doctor of medicine, and with his sheepskin he went to Per­ sia, where for nearly ten years he atnd- ied advanced medico* %cfen«§ aa the Ori- j entals understand it. . . -j Monsieur E.f Bernard, the tioted French architect, who has arrived in America to consult with the regents of the University of California con­ cerning the plans for the new univer­ sity buildings, ia probably the fore­ most architect of his,country and one of the best of his profession in Eu­ rope. Sis designs for the new temples of learning that are to go up at Berke­ ley (the site of Cal- K . H K N A R D f o r n i a ' s S t a t e school) won the first prize of $10,000 of­ fered by Mrs. Phoebe Hearst.

Munro approached Bayombong, notified the in­ surgent commander that he was coming with a big force, and demanded the surrender of tne 800 insur­ gents and the Spanish and American pris­ oners. The in­ surgent com­ mander surren­ dered to "a su­ perior force" and Lieut. Munro agreed to enter with but fifty , ,EVT- men of his mythical army. Lieut. Jatnea N. Munro is a Minnesota boy. He went to West Point in 1893 from the Minne­ sota State University. During the Cu­ ban war he was stationed at Fort Walla. Walla. Lieut. Munro was sent to Ma­ nila last June, reaching there early in July. " * ' e * e The Boers, the Somali false Mahdi, and now the Khalifa engage the atten­ tion of Great Britain in Africa. This third affair may prove serious, and the British and Egyptian forces are concentrating at Omdur- man for an aggressive campaign against the 12,000 men who are with the Khalifa. Chased from pillar to post in the Soudan after the cap­ ture of Khartoum last year, the Khalifa has been busy dodging Brit­ ish troops and endeav­ oring to rally the scat­ tered Arabs. It seems that he is now ready to KHAI.IKA'S I AI'TAIN make a stand, and. the British must kill him or they may have to fight the Soudan war over again. In spite of the announcement that Irish colonists have formed a corps to fight with the Boers against the English it is an Irishman who has been chiefly in­ terested in prevent­ ing the invasion of Natal. "Sir Walter Francis Hely- Hutchinson, born in Dublin in 1849, has been the Qov- erno.' of Natal arid Z u 1 n 1 a n d since 1895. He was edu­ cated at Cmiibrid^e SIR H -HUTcnresos. and has b«?e*i in $ie colonial service of Great Britain ever since. He has served in the Fiji Islands, jm New South Wales, in the Barbadoes, in Malta, and.in the Windward Isles.,. Lord Ardilauri, who has purchased the Muckross estate, with its famous lakes of Killarney. is the head of the celebrated family °f Guinness in Dublin. LorJ Ardilaun is very rich, but is as gen erous as prodigality itself. Lady Ardi- laiin, his wife, was before her marriage the Lady Olivia Charlotte White.
