are dazad by what they call Peoria's pre-
sumption in desiring Tie state r >,ublcan con-
vention to be held taere. and that for fear the
latter city may gain its point will send a
delegation TO Chicago to fight the scheme
before the state committee. Speaking Of
candidates for state officers, the drift. he
says, seems to be in favor of Oglesby, but
that Governor Hamilton is not an opponent
to be despiscd For lieutenant governor ex-
Senator Mcclellan, of -Galena, and Gen. ].
c.. Smith, state treasurer, are mentioned.
For secretary Of state Dtlnsnt, the present in
cumbent is the only oae spoken of. For
auditor C. ?. Swigert IS the only candidate.
For state treasurer D. 7. Littler is most
prominent with Jacob Gross, of Cook county,
and Blocker, of st. Clair, as opponents. The
attorney generalship is wanted by Mccartney
who now preSides over the legal
department, ard Senator George Hunt, OF
Edgar, and the race promises to be close
The correspondent says there is no trouble
about selecting delegates to the national con

and if any fail, then the delegates from
that district to the state convention
should select them. There is hardly any

is growing, and that the Illinois delegation

MILWAUKEE, Feb. IL "A woman dressed
in deep mourning called at the police head
quarters and asked assistance to reach New
York. She was neatly dressed, had an
honest countenance, and a remarkable story.
Her name is Eneline Hardy, widow, and
an EnglishwomaD from Lancashire. Three
months ago her 16 yeaI-old daughter disap-
peared Search was made for her for weeks
without success, no clew whatever being dis
covered Finally the mother visited Lon
don clairvoyant, who, in a trance. told her
the girl had gone to America with travel
ing actor and was then in st. Paul; that the
two were not married, but We're living to
gether, and that her daughter was anxious
to return home. Mrs. Hardy disposed of
her property, and with the proceeds
came to the states. In New York she
was robbed by confidence men of the greater
part of her money reaching st, Paul with
but few dollars. There she was met by a
letter stating that the body Of her child had
been found in small river near her home,
bqing evidently case of suicide. She imme-
diately set out to return to England Her
money was exhausted at Lacrosse, but a
Kind hearted conductor passed her to Mil
yankee. She sought aid to reach New York.
The woman's story was corToborate1 by let
ters which were shown to the officers.
