The trips for the clubs are arranged separately, each club giving an entire program.

This year the young women visited the southern part of the state and the men's trip was made through the northern part of Illinois. The glee clubs have gained considerable publicity this year with their splendid programs also with the showing they made at the annual Eistoddfodd held in Granite In this array of fine singing the Shurtleff men. placed first, the wo men second and the combined club tied for first place for which were awarded a silver loving cup give! by Secretary of Labor, Davis.

The ditor replied that the writer of the etter had better ask some of the athers to whom he had referred, as he had personal acquaintance with all of them. Faithfully booming Chicago, the Telegraph said some Idea of its business might be gathered from the fact hat deposit accounts with bankers and brokers there had averaged 1800,000 daily during the year The "daily" was italicized. The engine house at Jacksonville belonging to the Sangamon Mor gan railroad had been burned, with the store of Lurton on the square. Fortunately, the railroads engine had been left out of doors and so escaped destruction. The Telegraph had seen a sketch of the proposed monument to Bishop Jhase.

It appeared to be a square pillar eight feet high and bore, among emblems, the Bible and prayer book and Jlreh Plea for the Scanty telegraphic advices from New Orleans said the steam ship Independence with 600 California bound passengers, Including a'number from and vicinity, had been grounded and burned. A number of thu passengers were reported drowned or burned, while others had undergone fearful hardships, but no names of lost or saved could be obtained. The steamer Kansas had struck a snag and gone down in the Missouri river near Linden and was a total loss, with her cargo. She belonged to Capt. Hugh White, commanding her, and was insured for $4500.

An express train on the Hudson River railroad had made speed of 52 miles an hour in a run of 164 minutes. Reports from different sections of Illinois showed the wheat crop In promising condition although the weather continued rather toa-'dry. Vice President King of Alabama, had left In his will bequests for a number ot poor relatives and requests to President Pierce for appointments of two special friends to be postmaster and collector, respectively at Mobile; both of which requests had been compiled with. A very severe thunder storm, with heavy rain and hail was reported at Highland, April 23. "Bottom," in a letter to The Telegraph, urged Alton capitalists to consider the idea of building a plank road from Alton to Milton.

The Telegraph replied that such a road, not only to Milton but on to Edwardsville and Highland, unquestionably would be profitable and valuable. "Langdon," in a communication, urged a public landing as the most vital need of the city. "The auspicious circumstances of the "present and the glorious future which we anticipate," he said, demanded prompt action. The projected railroads, the talked of plank roads, the double dry dock and woollen and cotton factories proposed all were desirable, but the landing was an immediate necessity. This correspondent intimated that the city government was more interested in the beer license question than anything else.

A summary of offices in the gift i of the president, published here, included 720 clerkships at salary of $931,000 a year, or an average of about $1750 a piece, and other appointments and contracts, the whole amounting to $13,500,000 a year. In this included $70,000 a year for payment to newspapers for publishing the official department advertising which was a slice of pap for organs of the party in millions for mail contracts and half a- million for congressional printing. President Fill- morc's administration, however, hod favored the Alton Telegraph with several official advertisements of sales of public lands In Iowa and elsewhere, which were yet running. The American Peace Society, through Its organ, The Advocate of Peace, was urging on congress' adoption of agreements with other nations of the world for avoidance of war by reference of all disputes to selected Impartial umpires. The Telegraph summarized the argument, but did not commit itself.

There was fracltlon between the mayor and aldermen. The mayor had recommended the speedy building of a public landing and a communication, dated April 23, 1853, said the aldermen -had refused to act Because they feared if the landing was built the mayor would get the credit for it. This writer was very caustic. He said the author of a former communication favoring the landing had seen that public sentiment was at 'ull tide and "like all week vessels, ne launches upon its bosom, hoping for once in his life, stand E. chance of being on the right and strong side." Alton evidently Was divided in attitude toward runaway slaves.

Several communications contained counter sneers at those conniving at "stealing and hiding runaway groes and those in the degrading work of slave catching." Two or three items selected from exchanges told of trains stopped as April fool jokes by stuffed figures ot men placed standing on the tracks. In one day, April 22, 200 clerks had been discharged from the sixth auditor's office In Washington and their filled. Immediately with the former incumbents who had been discharged four years before. Much space was filled with an attack by S. S.

Hayes, prominent Democrat of Chicago, on Senator Douglas, of Illinois, for recommending abolitionists for powerful and lucrative jobs under the government. The Telegraph said many of the smaller democratic newspapers of the state were applauding Hayes. The grand floating palace circus of Spaulding Rodgers was announced Harry Hill Is Permitted Bond; Case Continued Defense Challenge of the List Sustained hy Court OTTAWA, 111., April 27, GW-Harry Hill, young alleged matricide, was admitted to 120,000 bond today when Judge Joe A. Davis sustained the defense's challenge of the jury list drawn for the youth's second trial and continued the case until next September. Friends of the Hill family Immediately set about signing the bond for the youth and It was Indicated he soon would be free after Incarceration since last September.

At the Inception of his second trial less than a week ago the defense demanded Hill be released on bond cause his health had been broken. Judge Davis denied Mm bond, however. The next motion was to discharge the youth because he had not-been brought to trial promptly. The third action of the defense was a motion to suppress the evidence found in the Hill home. They held Hill's constitutional rights had been Invaded when authorities entered the Hill home and seized evidence without the support of a search warrant.

Judge Davis yesterday denied that motion. The last defense motion, entered yesterday, was that which became successful today. It challenged the list of Jurors on the ground it had not been drawn properly. thy, according to Streator standards, was found burled in the baiement of her home, a few inches under the surface. she had been jhot through the head.

The discovery was made by friends ot Dr. Hill, who had been divorced from her for several months, although the two had lived apart for five years. A nation-wide search wan started for the 22-year-old son, and he was arrested Sept. 3, in Seattle, after he sold his automobile. The engine numbers led to his capture.

The state contends Mrs. Hill was shot by Harry as she stood on the basement stairs, following a quarrel over money matters. Harry had cashed checks on his mother's account totaling approximately $20,000. Mrs. Hill's will left her entire estate to Harry.

A lengthy obituary, accompanied by two sets of verses, was printed of Mrs.

Phoebe "CroM that fence and you'll get shot." On hearing this command Victor Volz, of the Modern Systems Construction looked up and saw a woman standing In her yard evidently holding her own ground. "Vic" and one of his assistants had been prospecting over some ground and running a few levels in order to get an estimate of the grade the much discussed high school sewer might be built on at the point where it will enter the high school on the west side of the new )uildlng. Hearing the command and giving due consideration, Mr. Volz said Immediately dropped all plans lor going over into the woman's yard. It was on the south side of College avenue below the new high school and while the construction company is not at all interested in the building of the sewer that will serve the school, they did want to get an idea of where it might come in, so they would arrange for connecting the big school building to it.

Mr. Volz said he knew there had been feeling expressed on the part of property owners through whose places the sewer system must pass in order that the high school can have a sewer but he did not give this matter any thought when he went over there to fun a few levels. However he understood the command and decided it was to quit without further hesitancy. But after it was all over the incident called to "Vic's" mind something that had happened once before. That command "step on this ground and you'll lose your head" rang in his ears but it was a long time ago that he had heard it.
