EXHIBITS DISAPPEAR.
A Gruesome Collection of Reminders
OF Murder Cases In the
Courthouse,

For years past there has accumulated in
the garnet at the county courthouse
gruesome collection of reminders OF muir
der cases In this county. consisting Of
murderous looking clubs, covered with
blood stains and hair. axes and hatchets.
clothing and the like. AT one time. the
horrid assortment reposed in d part of
the upper story of the courthouse, which
was once used as theater for amateur
theatricals. The brick walls are bare.
and a false floor was built over the CO.
ment floor. A small stage had been rugged
up extending along one side Of the room.
Above are the bare brick walls and iron
roof of the garnet. and from small, round
windows al the top can be seen the big
statue OF Justice.
On one end of the platform a ladies'
dressing room was partitioned of. and
this was made the repository for the ugly
looking exhibits. AT one time there was
cane not labeled. but which had been
introduced il murder case sew
eYaI years ago. Ratchet cover
ed with hair and blood stains; .

mister crse IN December. 1895. and other
articles OF Ike character. They had re-
manned untouched. except by the janl-
tors of the building. FOR years. Yester-
day Sheriff Meyer had occasion TO visit
the garnet and found that all save the
club in the Bannlster case had disap-
peaTed.
Flied up in the room are number Of
books maps and records. most Of then,
covered with dust After rumaging
around in the debris Sheriff Meyer was
unable TO find anything but the Bannis-
ter club. Bannister was charged with the
murder of a negro 81 The Franklin mines

The only theory 10 account for the dis
appearance of the articles is that NOR

allowed In the upper chambers OF the
building have taken them away. Soma
Of the missing articles have disappeared

Mason, one of his faithful nurses, had
re-entered the room, aud now sat
near by and looked with emotion up
on the scene.
The dying man raised his eyes TO
him in recognition. and his face
Lighted up at his PRESTIGE. He turn.
ed his gaze for moment upon his
child, and then upon his fliend; aud
again lac looked at bis child and
again at his friend. He was speech

eyes spoke for his heart all its anx-
iety-i;s wishes It's confidence and
love. j leave her, my brother, to
you; be to her Il friend aud father"
SO his languii chances pleaded, and
he was understood.

is still SO small the trust has to
figure very closely; than the mum
ber Of employees is greater now
than formerly, and that for several
years past the trust has paid divi.
bends avera ging more than $780,
100000 a year on an actual CAPT
talization of abonf $4,000. 900, or
more than 400 per cent per annHm.
Yet there are no more refineries
now than i'm the old days; the
price Of sugar to the consumer has
been reduced; a good many of the
refneries have been kept closed all
the time.
Then there is the Steel Rail
Trust, which has just gone to
pieces. While it was sound and
thriving the members Of it used to
say that steel rails could not posi-
bly, be sold under S2G a ton except
at loss; thrt was the minimum
price Compatible with business 4;
they told their employees if was out

trust received smashing blow and
collapsed; steel rails went down to
ST. a ton; all the ex-members
clamOrcd for orders at that price.
including the mill which had been
receiving 100000 a year from the
trust to keep still; testimony
poured in from many of the ex-
members that they would lump at
a chance to make steel rails at SIT
ton III any quantity for any
length of time; orders came i'm a
rush; every cody was iubilant and
happy TO say that good times for
everybody were here at last. The
Illinois Steel Company, which as p
general thing makes 0ne.third of
all the steel rails made i'm the
country every year, lighted the
fires in its furnaces, which had
been cold for months, and put back
