daughter, Mrs. Ada B. Morton, in Chicago will
be glad to know she has been in excellent
health, notwithstanding this is her first winter
in seventy-eight years spent out of Maine.
She is looking forward, however, to summer
when she will return to her home in Belmont.
She thinks this winter in Chicago does not
differ greatly from winters in Maine; plenty
of snow and ice.

spending the winter in Florida, were at Day-

Williamson & Burleigh have leased the office
at the southeast corner of the third floor of
the Granite Bank building, formerly occupied
by the Mitchell-Cony Co., and are fitting it up
as law library. They have already moy ed
the greater portion of their library, which is
probably the largest private library Of that
nature in town. and are arranging the volumes
in cases and on shelves about the room. A
large square table will occupy the center of
the library and will be very convenient when a
number of volumes are called into use at the
same time. They have also secured another
room adjoining the library for storage pur-
poses. The new arrangement, besides provid-
ing for quiet and retired place for looking
up points of law, will provide much more
available space in the firms offices on the

r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review OF
Chicago Trade says:
"A slight comparative decrease in
the volume of payments through the
banks, additional storms interfering
with freight movements, rising security
markets and still higher levels foi
breadstuffs and meats furnish the out
standing features Of current develop
ments. There is also a slower flow OF
new demands in prominent branches
of manufacturers, which is due TO TEN
porary causes and does not weaken
confidence in the general business out
look.
Der and liabilities make the best ex
hibit thus far this year, and the posi-
ton of credits is very encouraging and
favorable to a larger use of capital
Other gratifying factors which impart
strength are the easier tendencies in
money and the steady progress which
appears in production of the mills and
factories
Some accumulation appears In
hides, with prices more favorable te
tanners, and the buying is steady in
leather, footwear and novelties. Build

IN CAIRO MOB CHARGE
Angry Men Storm Prison in Effort
to Lynch Negro Youths for
Purse Snatching.
SHERIFF AND DEPUTIES FIRE.
Deneen Orders Out the Militia,
Which Is Held in Readiness for
Serious Work.

A single volley from the force Of
five deputies smobilized at the county
Jail in Cairo, H., the other night prob
ably averted the second lynching of a
negro in Cairo in four months. In the
fusillade, in which eleven shots We're
fired. one of the members of the mob
was killed and at least two injured.
Two hundred men, who had been in
cited to violence by man related 10
Miss Anna Pelley, whose murder pre-
cii'itated the November riots in which
"Froggie' James and Henry Salzer
were lynched, stormed the jail shortly
after midnight. After the sheriff's
men had fired the mob returned the
volley, breaking several windows in
the Jail. None of the deputies was in
jured, however The militia company
was ordered out by Gov Deneen by
long distance telephone after Sheriff
Nellis had telephoned news of the riot
ing to Springfield.
The trouble was precipitated by the
arrest on Wednesday night of negro
who twice, it is said, within week
had snatched purses from women. This
boy, whose name is John Pratt, was
seized just after he had seized the
purse of a young woman relative of
Miss Pelley. Miss Pelley's brother,
who is on a visit to Cairo from s..
Louis, Immediately began making the
rounds of the saloons. crying for ven
geance for this second attack on a
woman of his family. This led to the
formation about midnight of a mob o.
fifty or sixty members. AS this ap-
preached the Jail it grew to more than
200. Then it was announced that a
young woman was in jail charged with
having set fire to more than twenty
two houses in Cairo since Christmas
The mob, as it approached the jail,
cried loudly for these two negroes, and
when it failed to heed the warning
called by the sheriff he ordered his
deputies to fire.

Trade reports are rather more cheer
full. Visible evidences of expansion in
the jobbirg trade. in consonance with
the advance of the season, are found
in the reports that the large Plumbers
of buyers in the leading markets, espe
cially in the West, Southwest and parts
of the South. have taken hold more
freely, although even in the markets
of the Southwest, whence the best re
ports come, there are evidences of con-
se-vatism, based largely on the high
prices asked for goods. The least "a
vorable feature in the country's trade
at present is the continued sagging in
export trade in farm products. an eff.

ROB AN ILLINOIS BANK
OF $500 AND ESCAPE
Burglars Blow Safe in Citizens
National at Chatsworth, ILL.,,
and Steal Cash.
BIND AND GAG TWO MEN.
Explosions Ruin Structure, but Wake
No Citizens-Bandits Flee in
a Buggy.

The Citizens National bank OF
Chatsworth, ILL.,, was entered early the
other day by burglars, who fled with
$500 after blowing open the safe with
heavy charges of nitroglycerin.
Five unmasked men approached the
night policeman near the pumping
plant of the water works of Chats
worth soon after midnight, engaged
him in conversation, then overpowered,
bound and gagged him. Afterward
they took him to a garage near the
Citizens bank, where they left hiG
under guard. A baker employed in
nearby bakery was also bound, gagged
and placed under guard in the garage
The Waterman and baker were the
only residents awake in the business
section at the time. After securing
these men four of the robbers took a
number Of tools from the garage, went
to the bank and began working with
deliberatiOn to get the money
They blew the large cutter door off the
safe, then the inner door. The first
explosion wrecked the interior of the
bank. After blowing open the second
door the burglars helped themselves to
the money inside. They took S6,3o0
in paper money and $4,000 in silver.
Completing their work in the bank
the four men went back to the garage
and carried the baker to the bank and
laid him on the floor. One of their
number then drove up in a carriage.
the rest of the party entered the
vehicle and all departed.
No one in the village heard the ex-
plosions. The burglary was not dis
covered by the authorities until 600
a. m. The bank carried $4,000 in burg
larry insurance. The night policeman.
William Cahill. and the baker, Albert
Kerber, were found half dead as the
result of being bound and gagged. Both
revived, however, soon after their res
cuers removed the bonds. The robbers
were described by Cahill as desperate
looking. One was tall and two were
short and heavy set.
