months. lie was brought here by
Town Marshal Thurston Epperson,
Of Ballard county.
The horse and buggy were found
in the possession Of man named
Wilkin, near Heyworth, ILL.,, who
said his sccomplice was Mango. The
Bloomington, ILL.,, correspondent of
the 81. Louis Republic telegraphed
the following:
lone week ago last Friday night,
James Pirkey, young farmer Of
Heyworth, was shot and instantly
killed near Mount Carmel church by
farmers watching for q thief. Pirkey
vas going home from a dance, and,
not knowing q the watch for the
thief, refused to obey a command to
halt. John Wilkin, farm hand
had been captured the night before
and severely wounded while trying to
remove stolen goods from a corn
field, where he had secreted them.
He claimed he had a confederate
named Mango, and it was for Mango
the farmers were watching when
Pirkey was killed. Today a I rmer
named Futrell arrived from Paducah,
KY, and identified as his, a horse
and buggy which Wilkin was driving
when arrested. The rig was stolen
three days before Wilkins arrival
with it at Heywortb, and had been
driven nearly 500 miles in that time.
Fuifell says 20 horses have been
stolen about Paducah and Wickliffe,
KY, within three months and that
Wilkln and Mango we're suspected Of
being members or agents Of an or.
gained band Of robbers, who have a
system Of passing stolen horses from
one to another. The band has
operated In Kentucky, Southern I'LL.
nois, Missouri and Indiana. Their
operations have been traced to Cairo,
Centrslia, Nsndalia, Decatur, Bloom
iugten and Rauye.s, Ill. 1; Bowling
Green, Mo-, and various points in
Indiana. Futrell identifies Wilkin,
who poses here as pious young man,
as a graduate OF Chester prison.
Wilkin is slowly recovering from his
wound. Mango has not been cap
tured."

PHILIPPINE
QUESTION
Will Be Settled Tonight by the
President, His Cabinet and
the "eace Commits
SiOners.
General is Cables From Manila
That Everything Is Serene
Aguiaaldo Claims He Has
Been Misrepresented.

Washington, Sept. l5.-Tbe Pres
ident gives a dinner tonight to the
Cabinet and the American Pesce
Commissioners, at which all points
yet unsettled as to the demands to be
made upon Spain at Paris will be fully
discussed and doubtless determined.
1t is all settled that the President
will demand the permanent occupa-
ton by the United States of Luzon
Island, and the Cabinet has reached
the general conclusion that continued
Spanish sovereignty over any portion
OF the Philippines is impossible; also
that the natives were incapable Of
self-government.
The main point OF discussion to-
night will be the remainder of the
PHILIPPINES.

SOMEBODY KLsE's MOTHER

lie is one of the unknown dead.
A plain wooden cross marks the grave
where he lies by his comrades on the
hillside overlooking the lake. There
was none beside him at the last to
whom be was anything more than a
dying soldier; yet he died with the
smile Of hope realized when hope was
all but gone. FROM the time he was
brought in there was no hope for
him. The deadly poison that oozes
from the Cuban soil had permeated
his system They call it pernicious
malarial fever. 1t doesn't matter
what they call hopeless disease. The
soldier alternated between uncon-
.ciousness and delirium, and all ef.
forts to find out who be was were I'M
avsiling. His one glimmering Of
reason Was when he called in plaintive
iteration for his mother.
Mother Mother! Isn't she COM

Washington, Sept. l5.-The navy
department now admits that the bat

orders TO proceed TO Manila to re-
port to Rear Admiral Dewey, though
they will first stop at Honolulu, I'M
