A NEGRO HANGED TO A LIMB.
The First Lynching in Central illinois for
Many Years Took Place at LacOn-
Strung Up by Enraged NiD~rs.

LACON, Ill, Nov. S.-The first lynch
ing in central Illinois in many years
took place here early Monday morning,
when 100 miners from TOluca, mining
town a short distance east of here,
broke into the county Jail, took out T.
w. Stewart, a Toluca Negro, and
hanged him to tree.
The work was done quickly and quiet
ly. Only few late Stragglers noticed
the number of strangers who kept ar
irving into town from the east. They
were we'll organized, however, and
shortly after midnight marched in
body to the Jail, broke in the doors af-
ter a short parley with the sheriff,
dragged the Negro from his cell, car
ried him to a tree a mile from town,
where the remainder of the party
awaited them, and there swung him
to a limb.
Stewards crime was assault on Fri
day evening upon Mary O'Brien. the
daughter of one of the Toluca miners.
Although many in LacOn deplore the
lynching, there is general impression
that the Negro was punished as he de-
served, and no special effort is being
made to discover the identity of the
members CT the mob.
The coroners jury Monday afternoon
returned a verdict that Stewart came
to his death at the hands of persons
unknown, and the sheriff seems to
think public sentiment would not JUS
tify him in making strenuous efforts
to capture the lyncheIs.

indicate that the plurality of Stanley, rep, for

Riddle, the populiSt state chairman, practical
ly concede the defeat of Vincent for congress
in the Fifth and Jerry Simpson in the Seventh.
The republican leaders confidently claim that
Chester l. Long has defeated Simpson in the
Seventh. and that w. A. Calderhead has de-
feated Congressman Vincent in the Fifth. If
these claims prove correct, Edwin Ridgely. of
the Third district. will lie the only populist
congressman from Kansas.
The republicans elect two state senators
which gives II members in that body. They
also elect 90 representatives out of 125. This
gives them majority of 81 on joint ballot in
the legislature and insures the election of a
republican state printer.
