SLAVERY IN ILLINOIS
Chicago Defender

Perhaps not in a generation
has a fact been brought to
light more horrible than the
finding of young colored boys
and girls having been sold to
Southern families, by t h e
Children's Home and Aid So
ciety. The practice, too, has
been going on for years and
had become quite lucrative
until an investigation was
made last week. The Society
has sent children into twenty
six states and Canada and no
record has been kept of their
whereabouts or welfare after
the sale was consummated.
Such a condition. so much at
variance with Lincoln's Eman-
cipation Proclamation, and oc-
curing almost under the shad-
ow Of the tomb, is a horror S
crown of horrors.
For larger colored children,
homes are found with south
ern white families where they
can render such service as is
peculiar to southern families,
says the advertising circular
of this society. The condi-
ton is slavery of the deepest
dye, and we know of no peni-
tentary stern enough to mete
out justice to such Williams as
the promoters of this society
evidentally are.

POSTOFF|CE At
TUSSEY ROBBED
SAFE BLOWN TO PIECES-MONEY
AND STAMPS TAkEN-cITIzENS
RUSH TO SCENE.

Tussy, Okla, Feb. 25.-Shortly at
ter O'Clock Tuejlay morning, the
postoffice at Nlis place was broken
into and the safe completely wreck
ed by a charge Of nltroglycerine.
The sum of $3.50 and a quantity of
stamps was taken, and something
like $500 scattered about the room
by the explosion. The burglar or
burglars had to leave this amount,
as the report of the explosion at
tracted citizens to the postoffice and
il was by but narrow margin the
perpetrator of the deed escaped.
Residents sleeping near the post
office were aroused from their slum-
bers and rushed to the scene few
minutes after the criminal had de-
parted. They found the safe a COM
piete wreck, the building badly dam
aged and something like s400 scat
tered all over the room. Sugar ana
flour sacks had been placed against
the safe to muffle the noise of the
explosion but these did not have the
desired effect.
1t is believed the crime was com
United by a lone burglar. Citizens
were prompt in organizing a posse
and tracks were followed to a point
about three miles out of town where
a horse had been tied and the one
making the tracks had mounted and
ridden away. Bloodhounds were Sc
cured at Graham and placed on the
trail.
Word was received here late Tues
day afternoon that officers are on the
trail of a party believed to be the
postoffice robber and expect to
catch up and arrest him befJe morn
ing. The citizens are greatly arous-
ed over the robbery, and are doing
all in their power to see that the
guilty party or parties are brought
to justice.
Because of the fact that the ex.
plosion made such a noise, the crim-
inal was forced to leave the s4OO
scattered about by the explosion and
escaped hurriedly, otherwise he would
have been captured by citizens who
arrived on the scene very few
