TO RESTORE VILLAGE
WHERE LINCOLN LIVED

PETERSBURG. ILL.,, Nov. 26.-The
visitor approaching Petersburg next
year may be surprised to see a little
log village resting on top of Old
Salem Hill. 1t will be the restored
village OF New Salem. where Abra-
ham Lincoln kept store, read law, en-
gagged in the vigorous rural sports of
the community and loved Ann Rut-
ledge.
The Old Salem Lincoln League OF
Petersburg expects to undertake the
restoration of the village as its con-
tribution to the centennial ecelbra-
ton OF the admission of Illinois into
the union. The plans and the fund
for the undertaking are not yet COM
plete but G. e. Nelson. president of
the organization, believes that it is
feasible.
Preliminary to the reconstruction,
the organization this year has sue
ceeded in locating the sites of the
principal buildings and the survey
has been completed for the restora-
ton OF the roads which ran through
the village. The well in front of the
place where the Rutledge tavern once
stood has been cleaned out and is
now in use. All that remains OF New
Salem Is a number of depressions in
the ground where the buildings once
stood. The Lincoln league secured
the cooperation of all the old resi-
dents at Petersburg in that vicinity
in determining the identity of the
various sites.
In this way markers have been
placed on the site of the Ofutt store,
the first store kept by Lincoln; the
Rutledge tavern, where Lincoln lived
for Ave years and where he feel in
love with Ann Rutledge. the daughter
OF the tavern keeper, the Lincoln and
Berry store, in which Lincoln owned
a half interest; the Cameron Mill by
the river bank; the blacksmith shop
and the Herndon store.
All of the buildings were of log.
The difficulty is to ascertain how the
buildings looked, but this has been
materially lessened by "reminiscences
of many old residents, who spent
their younger days in New Salem. The
Lincoln League expects to have the
Menard County Centennial Celebra.

restoration idea is carried out, actors.
dressed to represent characters OF

move about the village and give a
touch OF realism to IT, There will be
an old.fashioned barbecue and some
OF the rough sports in which Lincoln
was always a leader.
The celebration will be the most
unique in the state and is expected
to attract people from all over the
country who have been made familiar
with the Old Salem scenes by the
many L'ncoln stories.
The league intends eventually t.
turn the property over to the stat,
in order that It may be maintained as
a state park. The ground was pur
chased some time ago by William
Randolph Hearst and placed in the

PLEADS TO BE SENT
TO PENITENTIARY
Tells Rather Disconnected
Story; Case Is Being
Investigated

A bargain sale in postage stamps
| occurred Wednesday morning on
South Main street and resulted in the
apprehension of Paul Ctlok, an Aus
trian, who claims he found the stamps
in a book on the road between Co
shocton and Mt. Vernon
Ctlok told officer James Taylor,
who arrested him that he had just
left the Good Samaritan hospital at
GAINESVILLE. Lat9f, he acknowledged
that it had been two years since he
was in the hospital He is % years
OF age. speaks good English and
claims to have lived in this country
13 years
Il want to go to the penitentiary,"
he told Chief of Police Parker, 81
haven't any home" The chief found
several reasons why Ctlok might be
sent to the penitentary, outside of
the postage stamps. He wore a blue
army shirt and had two pairs of khaki
trousers. Ctlok willingly vouchsafed
the information that he had stolen
these articles of apparel.
The stamps found on Ctlok aggre-
gated in value 1881 They consist
ed of the following: 80 two-cent, 4
one-cent, 10 eight-cent, 8 cents in rev.
enue stamps, Is cents in postage-due,
2S twelve-cent, ten-cent special
delivery, and parcels-post stamps.
The stamps were contained in a
vest-pocket dictionary on the title
page of which appeared the name of
C. P. SAVERS with Antrim, Ohio, as
an address.
Ctlok had sold a quarters worth of
stamps to a pedestrian on South Main
street and Officer Taylor observed the
sale. The stamps were purchased at
rates less than their face value. With
the proceeds, Ctlok went to a bakery
and purchased loaf of bread and
some cakes.
In pocketbook found on Ctlok's
person were contained about 25 or
80 collar-buttons and cuff-links, for
which the Austrian could not account.
Ctlok claims to have come here
Wednesday morning from Gambler
where he says he spent Tuesday
night.
Chief of Police Parker reported the
circumstances of the case to Postmas-
ter Harper who is taking up the mat
ter with authorities. In the mean
time, Ctlok will be held in jail

INTEREST SHOWN
in REBUILDING
Community Of Mt. Pleasant
Church To Cooperate
COST FIXED AT $4,000
Initial Meeting In Connection With
Restoring Edifice Destroyed BY
Fire Proves To Be Very
Encouraging

Although the total membership of
the Mt. Pleasant church, Martinsburg
road, which was destroyed by fire
several months ago, numbered only
about 10, there were 25 people pres
ent at meeting held in the Graham
school-house Tuesday evening to dis
cuss the possibility of rebuilding the
church.
This hearty interest and co-opera-
ton of the community at large was
greatly appreciated by the members
of the church who feel that without
such support, it would be impossible
to erect new structure.
1t was the concensus Of opinion Of
those present that new church
should be built. The estimated cost
of such structure was placed at
$4,000.
The first part of May, a representa-
tive of the GAINESVILLE presbytery will
visit the community and review the
situation. To confer intelligently
with this man, a committee was
named at Tuesdays meeting, consist
ing of Edward Booze, Martin Crevel-
ing, ]. H. Bone and Mrs. Emma Win
gard. This committee will go over in
detail the entire prospect for rebuild
ing.
No insurance was carried on the
old church which was valued between
$4,000 and $4,000. The members Of
the church had just put s40o in re-
pairs on the structure within the
past year
