LYNCHING IN ILLINOIS.
White Men Swing a Negro to a Limb
 for Assault.

Lacon, H.. November S.-The first lynch ing in central Illinois in many years took place here early this morning, when nun dred miners from Toluca, mining town short distance from here. broke into the county jail, took out F. W. Stewart, Toluca negro and hanged him to tree The work was done quickly and quietly Only few late stragglers noticed the num- Der of strangers who kept arriving in town from the east. They were well organized however, and shortly after midnight they marched in a body to the jail, broke in the doors after a short barley with the sherin dragged the negro from his cell, carried him to a tree a mile from town. where the remainder of the party awaited them,, and there swung him to limb.
 Stewards crime was an assault, on Fri- day evening, upon Mary O'Brien. the daughter of one of the Toluca miners.
 Although many in Lacon deplored the lynching, there is a general impression that the negro was punished as he deserved, and no special effort is being made to dis cover the identity of the members oKsthe mob The ceroner's jury returned aksvqr- dict this afternoon that Stewart cameto his death at the hands of persons unknown and the sheriff seems to think public senti- ment will not justify him in making ef forts to capture the lynchers.

Mr.. S. b. Day of 1913 Middle street, Portland,
Maine, engineer of the Maine Savings Bank
Building, but it serves to introduce him to the
Belfast public, and at the same time shows the
close relation between tinker's work on the
engine and the average humanity's, when they
tinker with their kidneys. Mr.. Day tells how he
cured his. Read his statement: 81 shall never
fail to do all in my power for Doans Kidney Pills.
They are valuable remedy and l cannot urge
their use too strongly for any one suffering from
kidney complaint. My back great source
of discomfort to ME. have been so lame from it
that could not do my work without getting on
my hands and knees. At night it was impossible
to sleep for any length of time. They relieved me
from the commencement. Before had finished
the treatment the urinary difficulty had disap-
peared the backache had gone, and at present
am able to attend to my duties not inconvenienced
by any trouble. Under such circumstances it is
only natural that l should strongly recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills.

Something had gone wrong with some simple
part of a stationary engine and the 'stoler could
not fix it. After spending day or two on it, he
forced to ask the aid of a more competent
workman. He failed also, and some one suggested
the employment of q. local celebrity, sort of
tinker at any mechanical job. There is generally
one in every locality. He gave two or three raps
with his hammer and touched up rod two
when the pounding, or whatever allied the engine
ceased. When asked to make out his BILL it read
