LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The influence of the downward tendency
Of prices In Wall street on local securities
has. Of course. made itself felt to q certain
extent. There is probably no class OF Sc
curities In the country that has been as lit
tie affected as those OF this city. At this
time Of tho year. when business Is dull
and many are away on their vacations. the
effort to realize on stocks always causes
prices even OF the best securities to de-
cline to some extent.
good portion OF the selling Of local Sc
curities has recently been due. 1t Is be-
Heved. mainly to the necessity Of the hold
ers to get ready money in order to give
support to other Investments. As there Is
but scant margin In the local stock market
at this season of the year small blocks of
stocks thrown on the market will cause
recession In prices
In other words. there is but little signia-
canoe to be attached to the prices of a
summer market in ordinary years. This
year. however. along with other causes
which naturally affect conditions, is the
disturbed and uncertain state Of the New
York stock market. There Is no doubt that
indirectly the local stock market feels some
what the influence that at present emanates
from Wall street.
1t will be possible from the following ia
BILE OF local stocks sold during last January
and the prices then obtained to mako q
comparison with the present prices Of
summer market After allowing for the
values. 1t will be seen that there remains
out comparatively little evidence for the
record of transactions in local stocks that
prices are tumbling in Wall street.

that Circuit Attorney Folk will agree to
let the robbers. who admit that they were
bound together by an oath, the penalty
for violation Of which meant death. off
with such light punishment.

YOUTH MAY Be RELEASED.
James Robinson Has Been in Jail
Since April 2.

Jailer James L. Dawson yesterday re-
ported to Circuit Attorney Folk that
James Robinson has been In Jail since
April without having preliminary hear
ing or an investigation of the charge
against him by the Grand Jury.
Robinson, with five boys. was arrested
April on charge of stealing 800 pounds
Of sugar from freight car. E R. Hines
Of the Merchants Terminal Company
swore out a warrant charging them with
burglary and larceny.
1t was found that Robinson was more
than 16 years old and his companions not
that old. They were taken to the Juvenile
Court and paroled by Judge Foster. Moth
ing, however. has ever been done with
Robinson and he has since been in jail
awaiting a trial.
Circuit Attorney Folk referred the
matter to one of his assistants and 1t Is
believed that the Grand Jury will return
an ignored bill against Robinson to-day,
as 1t is thought that he has been suff1-
GENTLY punished.

Miss Ella Henneger Murdered
and Half Buried Near Her
Home at Bishop, Ill.
EVIDENCE OF HARD STRUGGLE.
Fred Strube, the Last Person
With Whom She Was Seen
Alive, Disappears and
No Trace Is Found.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Peoria, ILL.,, Nov. 16.-Ealf-naked and
bearing the marks of a desperate fight,
the corpse of Miss Ella Henneger was
found this morning half buried in the
sands In lonely spot about mile dis
tant from her home in Bishop, ILL.,, a
small station in Mason County. on the
Chicago, Peoria and St Louis Railway.
The Mason County authorities were no.
titled Immediately, and the Sheriff and
Coroner have been on the spot since an
early hour. No arrests have been made.
The girl was last seen with Fred
Strube. young farmer, who had been
attentive to her for three years. He has
disappeared and no clew has been OBJ
tanned as to his whereabouts despite the
fact that nearly the whole section of the
county has Joined in the search.
ATTENDED SOCIAL.
On Saturday evening Strube called for
Miss Henneger and took her to supper
and social at the district schoolhouse, a
short distance from her home. The couple
left the school shortly before midnight. -
The girl failed to return home Saturday
night. but her parents did not feel worried
thinking that she had spent the night
with one of her girl friends
When she did not appear Sunday after
noon apprehension was felt, and her ia
ther made inquiries Of the neighbors, only
to discover that none of them had seen his
daughter since Saturday night. .
It was well known that Strube was in
love with the girl. and, at first It was
thought that the two had eloped: The
| fact, however, that she was ensaged to a a
ST. Louis man tended to disproVe this
theory, and a searching party was organ
lied this morning.
BODY DISCOVERED.
The party was divided into squads. and
after a search of less than an hour one of
the men was Mortified to see tho feet of a
human being protruding from the sand in
a lonely spot In cornfield. over half a
mile from the nearest road. The sand was
hastily thrown to one side and revealed
the body of the missing girl.
With the exception Of her underclothins
the body was destitute of covering. The
throat bore the imprint of human fingers
and the body was covered with small
| bruises.
The face was discolored, the appearance
| of the body showing that the girl had
struggled with all her might against su-
perior strength.
searchers turned their attention to hunt
| for Strube. but he had disappeared as
completely as II the earth had opened and
| swallowed him.
Both families are prominent in the
| community. Newton Henneger. father OF
| the dead girl. lives on farm about five
miles east Of havana. The Strubes live
| about a mile and half from there.
The dead girl was II years old and quite
pretty. :.
