Sickness In Southern Illinois.

Papers from the southern part of this state COM
plain much Of sickness. The Alton Telegraph
says, "ihe sickness in tho surrounding country
never was greater than at the present time and
what adds to the affection is, tina, it is of an un.
usually fatal character. The disease generally is
bilious fever Of high type" A gentleman who
has just returned from tour through Illinois in
forms tho editor of the 81. Louis Reporter that
ain Rich Prairie, lying in Madison and Macoupin
counties, not q family is exempt, and in many in
stances whole families a'e PROSTATE. One case
came un,,er bis observation, Of n family Of nine
persons, all so low tina. not one was able to rem
der any assistance TO another; and many other
similar cases he heard OF.
OF Alton, the Telegraph says, Gin this city we
never knew it more healthy than 1t is now.
We can say tho same Of Ottawa, and tho whole
surrounding country.

Further Developments.

Seven of the 'blackleg gang have been
arrested at Lafayette, la. The inhabi.
tapis were SO enraged that they took them
and commenced lynching. Two of them
they whipped nearly TO death, aud when
the third one was brought gu. for tho
stripes, he said he had rather die than
suffer what he had seen. A respite was
granted him for few moments, when he
began 10 disclose the persons engaged
with them through the country and also
told the people where they would find
any amoun, of stolen property. One OF
the men taken is the man who burned
the American House in Lafayette, as he
owned the deed on the spot. The name
of one OF the men taken is Gould, and is
the head man of the gang in Lafayette.
This Gouli says many Of the gang have
their head quarters in Peru, III. and that
an 'old settler in Peru is the Bell We,h.
cr' OF the gang in that region. 1t is
known that this Bell Wether' at Peru
did receive portion Of the money that
was taken from Milford, and tina, only
few weeks ago he received stolen horses
from some of the gang probably from
Birch and Sutton. And yet the people
of Peru. SO far as we know, keep quiet.
Why do they not make break on tho
fellow, whoever he may be Give the
people his name and whereabouts. Out
on him some of you honest men Of Peru.
The community can now see what an
organized lot of villains they have TO con-
tend with A committee should wait on
this Bell Wether' at Peru and make him
inform them who it is that has taken so
many horses within two month from his
vicinity. There can be no doubt but he
knowS and he should be made TO tell.
The community cannot live so, and we
venture the assertion, that they triW not.
We understand that those taken at La(ay-
cite, have been made TO 60 through pro-
cess, termed stretching hemp Two
weeks ago we gave a little description Of
Red Jacket at Dixon. We now further
learn that letter from him, TO one Of his
comrades up in the Territory Of Wiscon-
sin, was intercepted on its route, and
found TO contain the information of
Bridges arrest, and wishing his comrado
TO come TO help rescue him. We would
like to know if honest men of Dixon will
We. keep, or let such a man remain in
their place. We do no. believe they will.
though we are informed that 'perjured
bankrupt figures quite largely in tho
town.
We have more in store, to give 10 tho
people yet. In The mean time, we say
to the honest and industrious If tho whole
country to be watchlul, BIO vigilant, let
not suspicious man pass without rem
dering proper account Of himself. If he
proves to be honest it will do him no
harm, and if he is not so, secure him.

missioners the situation of the captive
children, and pressed upon them the pro-
priety Of taking measures to have them

missioners would grant the authority aud
furnish the means, he would, without
compensation, 60 into the plains and re-
ceive all the children thus held in cap,iv-
iiy, and bring them into the settlements.
He confidently expected that his repre-
sensations would be properly attended to

ever done, and The captives have ever
since remained in captivity among the
fierce savages.-Ne,c Era.

Wnr with llcxico.

The latest intelligence from Mexico is, that af.
Ter all the sasconadins dispatches Of the Mexican
minister, there will be no declaration of wal
against the United States; but the plan is. to
commence tho rc-conquest of Texas, aud then, if
the United States interfere, they will have struck
the frs, blow, after which the Mexicans intend
tn "walk into u.s.
But Is Mexico serious Does she really be-
licve she can carry on a war against the United
States with any hope Of success Among the
intelligent men in Mexico, doubtless no such idea
is entertained; but it is well known that the men
a, tho head OF the Mexican government are not
permitted TO act according TO their own cool juJg-
ment, but are driven forward by an ignorant POI
pulace, who have entirely different ideas from,
their own. To show how the Mexican people
think about war with The L. States, and that
they are seriously bent on the measure, we sub.
join an extract from a letter from Mexico, pub
lished in the Washington Union, giving the out.
lines Of plan Of operations, gravely laid before
tho Mexican people by one Of their favorite gene
rails. The letter says:
There is great excitement here against the
Americans, and they are going to whip us with.
out much effort! Gen. Ampudia has made all
his plans for the campaign, by which, with ten
thousand Mexican veterans, he can subdue and
clleclually conquer the United States. Gen. Am
pudia says he will not go among the rifles and
bowie knives or six barrel pistols Of those ras-
cally Texans, but that he viii make descent on
the southern states and seaboard. That, in the
first place, he will llberate the slaves. They con-
s,itue one-lhirl Of tho population Of those states.
lie will then give them their freedom and colo
ny in Mexico. The next third part consists OF
cmigrants, who would much rather live under
the laws Of Mexico, they being so much better
than those Of the United States. The remaining
third are poor devils of nativcs-beins mostly
women, children, aud old men; so that you will
see, as Gen. Ampudia does, that there is but lit.
tic TO do in conquering the United States.

Leasing OF Canal Property.

Our remarks on this subject in calling
attention to the advertisement of the Agent
seem to have been misunderstood. When
we penned the article our thoughts were
particularly directed TO the lots in Chica-
60, and we could see no reason why they
should not be bringing in something for
the canal fund to which they belonged,
as well as that the school lots should DO
bringing in something for the school fund
to which no one objects. We believe
that all the canal property should be made
available that can properly, in order that
the canal may be the sooner paid for and
revert from the hands Of the corporation
10 the State.
But, in what we said, we had no idea
Of jus,ifying or approving of interference
with those farmers who have settled Up
on canal lands and are entitled to pre-
emption privileges. These should and
will doubtless remain secure in their legal
rights. And those who have made inn
provements upon canal lands since the
passage of The canal law should have the
right to remain upon and improve the
lands by paying such ground rent as the
agent and a person appointed by the set
tiers should say was right; which we
have no doubt the canal trustees are will
ling should be done. And we believe
they will also give them the assurance
that, SO far as they are concerned, they
shall have the land at the appraised value.
This policy will be dictated by the fact
that the improvement Of the canal prop
erty will increase the business upon tho
canal. We are opposed to any thing like
oppression or injustice in this matter of
leasing canal property, and feel confident
that the trustees will pursue an honorable
and Just course in regard to the matter.
And, so important is it that our canal
should be finished and paid for, that wo
trust no obstacles will be thrown in the
way Of h.-Chicago Dem.

The Slave Trade.

Recent Developments made in the British
house Of commons disclose the fact that, not.
outstanding the strenuous efforts that have becu
made for the last thirty years to suppress the
slave trade, that horrid traffic has during all this
time been on the increase. In 1907, when the
slave trade was abolished by England, the mum.
Der of slaves that were taken from Africa to other
countries, was estimated a. 100000 Atprcsent,
from authentic documents laid before parliament,
it appears the number exceeds 100000, 10 say
nothing Of the immense numbers that perish du-
ring the voyage, or in the barracoons before they
are placed on board the slavers. All the efforts
Of England and other countries to put an end
to the traffic, it is believed, have only resulted in
increasing its horrors, and it would have been
better if they had never been made.

Drought in Ohio.-The Columbus Statesman
says, "the appearance of the country and the
prospect Of the farmers in large portion Of the
western Reserve, are truly dePlorable. The
drought has been so severe, especially in the
counties of Geauga, Portage, Summit, Lake, and
portions of others adjoining, that the pasture
scarcely presents the least appearance Of life or
grcenness; and this being almost exclusively a
grazing and dairy region, the total loss of the hay
crop is very severe calamity to the farmers"
