dolefnlly declare that her child had been
foully murdered.
The father IL slender man, with honest
blue eyes and hands that show that Ills
work has been OF the kind TINT wears and
tears. The grief OF both was well nigh
crushing, but while the mother sat at the
window OF her home wondering In her
tears II Eliza would ever RETURN the father,
with face scanned with desperation, was
searching high md low for the author OF
their misery. Ills crrand to Missouri, to
was not made wholly for the purpose OF re-
covering his child In one Of the pockets OF
his coat he carried a revolver which he fully
intended to use should lie meet Butts.
The search cost the farm on which tho
Cheringtons had lived for 10 many ycnrs.
It brought to forced sale the horses upon
whose backs little Eliza used to ride, and 1t
sent to other farms the cows she had pat
ted ms they stumbled over the bars Of the
pasture. But the stern old father didn't
care for the sacrifice. He wanted his child,
and when the farm was sold and the fnrnt-
ture OF the sitting room and the parlor was
hauled away to Galesburg he declared that
he would spend $4,000 more had he tho
money within his grasp.
Meanwhile Butts worked or loafed In
Indian Territory, Missouri :nd California.
This was Of course not knoS.l to the Cher
ingtons or to tho officers Of Knox county,
for that matter. One day last spring and
10 years after the disappearance Of Eliza, q
slender, bearded man sought employment
as a section hand on railroad near Peoria.
He was promptly hired and set at work.
Before the SNOW had left the ground De
tective Ben Buckley, Turnkey Paul Rob
erts and Sheriff Matthews were satisfied
that the stranger was Jim Butts; but it
was not until April that they were sue
cessful in capturing the fellow. They lay
in a cornfield all one cold night waiting for
Butts to come out of the brush to visit
his father, but the fugitive was as shy as
the girl he stole 16 years before and sue
cessfully eluded his pursuers for a week or
more. Then he fell into the hands of De-
tective Buckley and was promptly placed
in Jail.
Old man Cherington didn't visit BUTTS
at the Jail. He said that he was ''afeered
that If he went there he would hurt him,
and he didn't want any more trouble"
But the mother went, and SO did the sis
ters. They pleaded with the prisoner to
tell them something about the whereabouts
of Eliza, but Jim Butts simply stroked his
shaggy beard and said he didn't know what
had become OF the girl.
| To the authorities Butts said that he
would produce letter from the missing
girl clearing him of the charge Of abduc-
tion were he but given an opportunity to
communicate with her, and SO the trial
was postponed. Spring turned to summer
and then to autumn. and still there were
no tidings from Eliza. Officers of the state
secured the coast from San Francisco to
Portland, Or, without finding any evidence

flung her body into n well or weighted it
for etfectual concealment at the bottom of
Spoon river or Court creekP These were
the questions neighbors asked of one an
other when it was learned that Elizas cape
had been found back of the Butts grnnnry.
Six months later James Butts reappenrcd
in the township and hired out as a l. REST
hand He was promptly arrested and in
dicted by the grand jury. One day his
LAWYER induced the sheriff to permit him
to take the prisoner to tho house Of a
friend.
Some time during the night Butts made
his escape, and was not seen again for l6
wears But while he WAS still in custody
he told all sorts OF stories about the where
abouts of the little girl whom he was to
accompany to church and whom he stole
away from the sight Of her parents. One
day he said that he had sold the girl to the
CHEYENNE Indians. The next day he de-
clared to another person that Eliza had do
serted him In Denver. It was this sort of
lying that turned all men against him, but
It was not until 1t was known that he had
again disappeared that the people of Knox
county clamored for his blood.
As the years passed by $he mysterious
disappearance of little Eliza became more
n topic Of winter night gossip than a sub
ject for official Investigation. Poor old

DEMOCRAT SENATORS OIylOEI

cratic Senators Caucasing

WAsHTs0Tos. Aug. o. The free silver
men feel pretty blue today. They have
heard fronl the official canvass. which hs
progressing rapidly. and their hearts arr
heavy. They have not given up fhe
fight. aud there is no probability Of such
thing. and 10 the casual acquainiancs
and stranger they profess unboundesi
coniilienes in abe success OF their cause.
The, declare that they viii pass FREQ
coinage Dill. the efforts of the president
10 tho contrary notwithstanding.
But way down in their hearts
they feed blue. and among them
selves they acknowledge that
the outlook 10 very dark. There may be
n change tomorrow. but such Is the cit
uatlon today. Mr.. Bland Is downcast.
and mp 10 the time Of thefree silver eau
Gus had little 70 say to anybody. When
approached on the silver question be-
shook his head as IL he. did not even
wapt to think about IT. but finally said:
There are men here representing FREQ
silver constituencies who are panic
stricken and ready to yield To the clamor
against silver. No aid or comfort Is ex-
pected from them, as they haven't the
courage. OF their convictions The peo-
pie wilItake their scalps when the time
cotnes-"
The democrats in the senate are Of di-
vided opinions. Senator Palmer, who
has been talking great deal with his
colleagues since his arrival, said. My
conviction is that we shall win and sue
ceed in repeating the Sherman law
that ~. the purchase clause uncondi-
tipnally. i believe that half Of the dem
ocrats are for unconditional repeal and
three -fifths Of the republicans That
means majority in favor of il. and i
believe that tho majority will win. 1t
usually does"
Not every repeater, however. enjoys
TIN hopeful view. A prominent New
England senator said today. IL am
very much afraid we cannot win. We
have majority. but the others have
unlimited time. One OF the western
silver senators declared 10 me this morn
ing that they had as beat without a
doubt unless we could bring closure TO
bear. and that. he said. would not DO.
He added that ere long several OF the
democratic senators would declare open
ly that Cleveland did not represent the
party on the question. and that they
should not vote for unconditional re-
peal"
The democratic senator's met today to
arrange a silver program. They had
not finished when the senate convened
and 80 they ddloufned the senate and
went into caucus again.
