MONTICELLO, ILL.,, June 24.-One OF
the most outrageous murders ever com
mitted in central Illinois occurred in this
city last night. As Harley Russell and
his wife were returning to their home at
9:39 p. IN. in a buggy, they were halted
at the outskirts OF the city by " men.
One man seized the horse that Russell
was drying aud the other drew a revolver
ard with a curse fired at Russell. The
ball penetrated his right side. and passing
between the ribs produced a wound from
which Russell died at III o'clock today.
Mrs, Russell was sitting by her husbands
side in the buggy, and the murderer shot
Russell 10 the right side 10 avoid shooting
her. The terror-stricken woman held her
husband with her right Lrm and drove to
the residence of James Mitchell, where
Russell remained until he died. A few
hours before his deatn Russell made a
sworn statement that Calvin Holden fired
the fatal shot and that Albert DUE
lap held the horse. HIS wife also recog
nized the murderers.
Sheriff Miller organized a posse and
proceeded to the re.idence of John Hol.
den, father OF Calvin Holden, and ar.
rested both of the accused men and placed
them in the Plat county jail. The
people arc excited and threaten to take
the law In their own hands. Durham
was sent to the p~euitentiary some time
ago for a term of three years from Macon
county for stealing a watch. Both men
affirm their innocence, but the evidence
against them is very strong.

NEWCASTLE, Pa, juno ga most
daring abduction was accomplished here

corridors Of which were crowded at the
time with men discussing the congress.
sional deadlock In this district. They
were startled about $3.50 o'clock by Mrs.
j. K. Phillips OF Sterling, ILL.,, a guest of
the hotel, rushing down stairs and calling
upon them frantically, For Gods sake
rescue that child. They have stolen my
child" When the woman had sufficiently
recovered from her excitement to explain,
it was learned that the two men who had
a moment before quietly but hurriedly
passed through the crowd with a young
girl were the abductors Of Mrs. Phillips
sister. The girl they have stolen, +"
said she, lis Neva Cochren, my sister.
Her father and mother are lead and she
has been living with u, at Sterling, ILL.,
our home. We have peer visiting in
this section, and Thursday night we were
at Mrs. Moses, nv sister, where these
bad bows tried to steal the child from us,
but Mr.. Phillips prevented them, and
now they have followed us here. While
MIR Phillips went to the depot to check
our baggage, as we are on our road home,
they broke into the room and took her
from me. They were gone before l could
raise an alarm.
When Mr.. Phillips returned to the ho-
tel he informed the mayor, who caused
officers To be sent in pursuit of the men,
but IS vet without success. as they hur-
ried the girl into a buggy at the hotel
door aud had driven out of the city at full
speed.
The abductors are Albert and Hugh
Cochran, brothers OF Neva. and they are
hardened characters, the latter having
served term in Jail for stealing. Neva
is a handsome brunette, l6 years old, and
lived with her sister. She was an unwill
ing party to the abduction. Her father
was the late t. F. Cochran, a rich farmer
who left an estate of SIS, 900 to be di-
vided among four children. Her guardi-
ans arc Hiram Watson and s G. Nc
Creary 1t is evidently the intention OF
the Cochran boys to keep the girl until
she comes Of age with the hope of secur.
ing her share of the estate.

CHICAGO, June 24.-One thousand
freight conductors. brakemen and switch
men of the Illinois Central struck last
night and we're followed by 200 passenger
trainmen this morning. Not a wheel is
turning on the road here. The strike is
for the discharge of an obnoxious super
iptendent. Russell, aud the reinstatement
OF two minor officials. The strikers this
afternoon ordered all branches OF the road
in Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa tied up.
Not a wheel is moving north of the Ohio
river.
The men did not wish to be held res
ponsible for interfering with the United
States mails or express matter, and con-
seauently attached the mail and express
car to a New Orleans mail train today.
The general superintendent. however, re-
fused to start the train until the passen-
ger coaches were attached, and the strik-
ers warned him that he detained the mail
and express at the c%ompauy's risk. Gen.
eral Manager Beck and General Superin-
tendent Sullivan had a conference with
the strikers this afternoon. The men
stated their determination not to return
to work until Superintendent Russell is
dismissed. The only conclusion arrived
at was that the company would resist the
mems demand.
The tie-up will cause serious trouble,
not only locally but throughout a large
section of country both west and south.
The suburban traffic of the road is emo

Trains are run In and out of the city ev.

God, 1t abides among us! 1t still
maintains its hold upon the hu-

read it still find it the one hook
that is indispensable among all
the literary treasures OF the ages.
Those who know it best lovo 1t
most. Those who read it oftenest
and longest and most carefully
are the NEST profoundly interest
cd in it, and most eager to read
and ponder it more. Fools now,
rs ever, despise the word. Learn
ell ignoramuses reyile it, and
boast OF their superior wisdom.
Multitudss pass by, "wagging
their heads,' as did the mocking
