MISSING MARY.
Tie Mystery of Her Disappearance till
UnsoiSed.
TS,.y
ious sect

ISt. Louis Republican,
The mystery surrounding Mary
Churchill's disappearance seems to
thicken day. by day. She has been
gone eleven days and no clcw to her
whereabouts has yet been received
Detective o. Neal received clew yes
terday, which at first looked very
plausible. He was informed that an
intimate friend of the missing girl be-
lieved he had seen her last Friday in a
carriage. He called upon the young
lady and she stated that she saw girl
in the hack on that day who, she
thought at the time was Mary
Churchill, and she was still
of that opinion She only
got side view of the girl, who drew
her head back as though to avoid her.
There was a gentleman in the carriage
with her at the time. The detective
succeeded in tracing the carriage and
locating the couple, who had dden
in it on that day. They were just pre-
pairing to leave the city when he
found them. The girl was not Mary
Churchill, however.
Another clew in which some con
tidence was placed came 10 Chief of
Detective Boyd yesterday in the
shape vi u photdt cdfu lFnm MI. YER
non, Illinois, signed "a Well Wisher."
The card stated that Il couple had been
married there the night of August
Goth about midnight by a. G. Tan
ner, the clerk of the court. The writer
advised The CHIEF of detectives to eoAi-
municGte with Tanner regarding the
marriage. A printed description and
photograph OF the girl were mailed
Tanner by the CHIEF. The postal card
WAS turned over to Col. Churchill, who
telegraphed Tanner The latter re-
piled that he had not married Mary
Churchill.
A gentleman who has been studying
the case for some time yentured an
opinion last evening that a certain
young gentleman employed in drug
store not far from the late residence OF
thc missing girl might know some
thlng about the disappearance.

Timid in death, the coffin was unOpen-

woman's wish. Her last request had

A NEW RELIGION.

mon Twin.
[St. Louis Republican,
The new religion which has broken
out in Schuyler county, ILL.,, is receiv-
ing good deal of newspaper comment.
Little surprise is expressed that the
simple-hcarted and uncultured coun-
try people should be guied aud duped
by Il new-li.sht prophet of eloquent
tongue and robust rerson like Obens-
hahn, but that "the most influential
and wealthy families in Schuyler
county" (as report says, should join
the Pilgrim Band" appears to be II
puzzle 10 the moralists. But the in
iected district is within few miles of
Nauvoo, where forty YEAR, ago Nor
monjsm was established, and its sue
cess is proved by the Latter Day
Saints present membership -
sixty thousand strong. There
seems TO be something in the locality
and atmosphere stimulating to inspi-
ration and new revelation, and there
are, and always have been from the
beginning, sentimental and emotional
qualities in the human mind To SYM
pathize with mysteries and shadows.
Sentiments and emotions must have
play-religion Is regarded as safe
ground, and new faith furnishes the
excitement which arouses en-
thusiasm in devotion. Country peo-
Pile lack the excitement of life; any
thing like new revelation supplies a
natural need, and what gives relief is
pretty sure of acceptance and belief.
The Schuyler county people are no
more susceptible or superstitious than
the human race generally, as shown
by its history. and the Pilgrim Band
converts are simply repeating history
