TO MEETJTCAPITIL State Committee Awards the Convention Honor to Springfield. FIX BASIS OF REPRESENTATION Counties Will Be Entitled to One Vote for Each 400 Votes Cast for McKin- ley--Some Districts Will Have More Delegated Than Ballots. Springfield, 111., special: The Repub­ lican state convention will be held In Springfield Thursday," May 12. This was agreed on at a meeting of the state committee held in the state house. There was a contest over the selec­ tion of the place. W. E. Hull, Fred H. Smith and R. D. Clark came as a delegation from Peoria to Invite the convention to that city. They offered the committee $5,000 in cash, the free use of a convention hall, and the ho­ tel expenses of the state committee during the convention, and to guar­ antee to provide all things necessary. Dr. A. L. Converse, representing Springfield, offered to pay the ex­ penses of the committeemen, to fur­ nish hall, music, printing and what­ ever else might be needed for the con­ vention. On a vote by ballot Springeld won by 21 for Springfield to 9 for Peoria. The resolution favoring Springfield was offered by J. R. Crowley, and James McKinney wanted a yea and nay vote, but the ballot proposition prevailed. Basis of Representation. The basis of representation in the convention was fixed at one delegate for each 400 votes cast for McKinley for president in 1900. This rule as to votes in the convention was made to apply to all counties, including Coles, Kane, and La Salle, which have adopt­ ed the primary election law and hoped to have an increased number of dele­ gates. As the law cannot be abrogated these counties will have more dele­ gates than they would be entitled to on the 1900 vote basis, but their voting power in the convention will be limited to the 400 apportionment basis. Thus, under the primary law, La Balle county is entitled to forty-seven delegates. La Salle will elect and send to the convention forty-seven dele­ gates, but they will be allowed only twenty-nine votes in the convention, in like manner Kane county will have thirty-five delegates, but only thirty rotes. Coles will have seventeen del­ egates and twelve votes. Cicero, in COOK, will have three del­ egates, but only one vote. The repre­ sentation of Cook county will not be changed except as to Cicero. Cook will have 631 delegates and 629 votes in the convention. County Conventions. Mr. Deneen offered a resolution that the call for the convention include a provision that all county conventions In counties where conventions have Dot yet been called be held on the came day. He said this was in ac- cordance with Gov. Yates' statement in his speech at the love feast C. E. Snively of Canton opposed !hls. He s&ld the state committee, being the creature of the state con­ tention, has no power over county sommittees until the state convention ihall give it such power. Mr. Snively tffered as a substitute for Mr. De* aeen's motion that the matter be re- Run on Russian Banks. Warsaw special: Owing to strong rat baseless rumors that the Russian (overnment was about to use all the ieposits and savings in banking insti­ tutions, there has been a great rush if people to withdraw their money. ferred to the committee to prepare a constitution for the party govern­ ment Mr. Cowley opposed Mr. Deneen's motion, unless the state committee could guarantee that counties disre­ garding it would be debarred from the convention. Other committeemen opposed the Deneen proposition, and finally Mr. Snively's substitute was adopted by a vote of 27 to 3. John H. Pierce of Kewanee pre­ sented the resolution adopted by the new charter convention of Chicago, and it was adopted, and the Indorse­ ment of the charter will be presented to the state convention. Rose Is a Candidate. Secretary Rose announced himself a candidate for governor to a delega­ tion of Republicans representing twenty-nine counties in southern Illi­ nois, who called on him at his office. Among those present were: Senator D. W. Helm, Metropolis; P. T. Chap­ man, Vienna; Judge A. K. Vlckers, Vienna; Judge J. C. Willis, Metropo­ lis; A. L. Millspaugh, Shawneetown; Col. John H. Barton, Carbondale; Maj. J. B. Kuykendall, Vienna; J. B. Black- man, Harrisburg; A. W. Walker and John H. Browning, Golconda; J. B. Messick, East St. Louis. These men informed Mr. Rose that Republicans in their counties desired him to be­ come a candidate. After a two hours' talk over the situation Mr. Rose an­ nounced himself a candidate. He will open headquarters soon and will make an active campaign. MEET TO FIX MINERS' WAGES Operators and Union Hold Joint Con­ ference at Indianapolis. Indianapolis, Ind.,. dispatch: The bi­ tuminous coal operators and miners of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, the central competitive district, met Thursday to consider wages and working conditions for the year beginning April 1. The decision will affect 117,000 miners. Before the conference ends an attempt will be made to include Iowa in the central district. The move is favored by the Iowa operators and, it is said, by the miners' union, which desires also to admit West Virginia and central Pennsylvania. John Mitchell, presi­ dent of the Mine Workers, said in a speech: "The union will welcome every eligible man, whether he be Democrat Republican, Populist or So­ cialist All I ask is that he shall not thrust politics down the throats of other members." He denied having any intention of accepting a govern­ ment position, saying: "I prefer to be at the head of this organization." PARADE WITH.

The disease is, fortunately, uncommon. In one case the sufferer, an Englishman, 34 years of age, who knew Greek, Latin and French well, suddenly lost all knowl­ edge of English, though he could read and understand Greek perfectly and Latin and French in a rather smaller degree. Another and almost more- curious case was that of a man who- lost the power of reading at sight. This patient was able to wrlte~accur- ately from dictation, but was com­ pletely unable to read what he had written. Word blindness Is apparently akin to color blindness, but is certain­ ly attended by much more Inconven­ ient consequences. 8alser*s Earliest Cana Another new thing:.

Johnnie's First School Lesson. It was Johnnie's first day ia school. He did not know the letter A from a saw horse, but this deficiency waa more than balanced by his assurance. The teacher called him ap alone. The old method of teaching reading was then in vogue. "Can you read?" said the teacher. "Yes ma'am," replied Johnnie. "Well, now we shall see," said the- teacher. "You read over after me. Be sure to read just what I do." So she began slowly, running her finger along under the words: "Did--you--ever--see--a--donkey?" And Johnnie in the same deliberate sing-song voice, running his finger along the page, replied: "No--ma'am--I--never--did." DIDN'T BELIEVE - ' That Coffee Was the Real Trouble. Some people flounder around and take everything that's recommended to them but finally find out that cof­ fee is the real cause of their troubles. An Oregon man says: "For 25 years I was troubled with my stomach. I was a steady coffee drinker but didn't suspect that aa the cause. I doctored with good doc­ tors aud got no help, then I took almost anything which spmeone elBe had been cured with but to no good. I was very bad last summer and could not work at times. "On December 2, 1902, I was taken so bad the Doctor said I could not live over twenty-four hours at the most and I madq all preparations to die. I could hardly eat anything, everything distressed me and I was weak and alck all over. When in that condition cof­ fee was abandoned and I was put on Postum, the change in my feelings came quickly after the drink that waa poisoning me was removed. "The pain and sickness fell away from me and I began to get well day by day so I stuck to it until new I am well and strong again, can eat heartily with no headache, heart trouble or the awful sickness of the old coffee days~ I drink all I wish of Postum withoat any harm and enjoy it immensely.
