.<• v.,5 ...... . ^ . . . , :v." aBBHWHW Our Springfield Letter Springfield.--The state board of equalization met September 11. Aa there were a number of counties which had not yet reported assess­ ments adjournment was taken to two weeks from that day. There is con­ siderable speculation as to what the board will do in regard to assessing , the capital stock of corporations. The last general assembly passed a law ex­ empting from taxation the capital stock of mercantile and manufactur­ ing corporations, but the attorney gen­ eral has since rendered an opinion declaring such a law unconstitutional. Seek Advice on Road Building. • Local highway commissioners in the townships over the state are finding the department 6f the Illinois highway commission of valuable service in the more difficult problems which they have to meet. After the department was first instituted few inquiries were received from the road officers, but of late advice is sought on road prob­ lems. The road officials in the coun­ try1 townships are commencing to ap­ preciate the value of the advice of ex­ pert engineers on the more difficult problems that arise for solution. The Engineers of the Illinois highway com­ mission have been busy getting out plans for the erection of bridges at the request of a number of road com missioners In various parts of the state. Requests have come into the office of A. X. Johnson, chief engineer of the state commission, for advice In the erection of other bridges, and this phase of service by the highway department of the state is coming in to greater demand. Another' expert mental road will be built this fall The road will be one mile long and will extend south from Greenville. The work began this week and the rollers and sprinkler which have been used In the construction of the road south of Springfield will be shipped to that point the latter part of the week. A macadamized road constructed from rock crushed at the Chester peniten tiary will be used. The experimental road south of this city, which is now completed, will be thoroughly inspect ed. Little new construction can be undertaken during the winter and the commissioners will plan the work to be undertaken this fall. Farmer* Find Money In Corn. It has remained for the Illinois far mer to discover and put into execu tion,the greatest get-rich-quick scheme of the times; he has put his once small savings into raising bumper corn crops, and his' investment last year paid him $145,000,000. It represents 382,752,000 bushels. This year again a crop advanced almost out of danger of frost damage promises to make an equally brilliant showing. The gov eminent crop report is expected to indicate a corn crop for Illinois of 360,000,000 bushels, and, as last year's crop was worth as much as the com­ bined crops of grain raised by any other state, the supremacy in corn production is likely to rest with Illi­ nois another year at least. A holding disposition among farmers has been found to be very efficacious in adding to profits in the last few years. Where ten years ago the average farmer was satisfied with 25 cents to 30 cents a bushel for his corn, he now calmly holds his products off the market when prices do not suit his ideas, and as a result has developed a great fondness for 35 cents to 40 cents. As a representative Illinois raiser put it to a Chicago board of trade man: "The average farmer in this section considers corn in the crib as good as money in the bank; he always has a ready sale for it, and prevents a glut­ ted market by selling judiciously; and a crib does not fail as banks some­ times do." A. O. U. Done with Options. The grand lodge of Illinois, Ancient Order of United Workmen, held a special session at Springfield and adopted the recommendations made by the supreme lodge at Montreal last June regarding changes in the rates of insurance. The system of options is done away with and also-the classi­ fied list. There were 250 delegates present, representing all but 20 of the 270 subordinate lodges of the state. Score of Illinois Marksmen. Col. Richings J. Shand has returned from Sea Girt, N. J., where he had charge of the Illinois rifle team that participated in the recent shoot. Illi cols finished seventh in the meet and the only states that were ahead were Massachusetts, with a score of 3,176, and New York, with 3,158. The score made by Illinois was 3,038. The high­ er places were taken by the army and navy. May Make Change of Route. A change in the route of the Spring­ field & Southeastern interurban rail­ way Is said to be contemplated as a result of which the town of Owaneco will be left out in the cold. The pro­ moters of the interurban will ask the city council of Taylorville for a fran­ chise of such a character as to indi­ cate that the road is to be built to As­ sumption, iqstead of Owaneco. The right of way between Taylorville and Assumption is said to have been se­ cured without expense on the part of the interurban company. This fact, it is believed, was one of the induce­ ments that led the interurban pro­ moters to decide upon a change of oute. The route as originally mapped out was direct from Taylorville to Pana, passing through Owaneco. The residents of the latter place are alarmed over the v situation and a strenuous effort probably will be put forth to persuade the traction people to adhere to their former plan. German Catholics Are Feted. Delegates to the central verein of the National Federation of German Catholic Societies were entertained by the local societies. The conven­ tion of the federation has been in many respects one of the most suc­ cessful held. The reorganization of the central verein upon a state basis and the separation of the widows and orphans' fund, the insurance depart­ ment of the federation, from the cen­ tral verein are considered the most Important work transacted by the body. Recruiting Office Closed. The navy recruiting office in the government building will be* closed After a period of threfe months' activ­ ity. The office will be moved to Mem­ phis, Tenn. Springfield has been con­ sidered a successful recruiting point and the present intention of the rank­ ing officers is to reopen the office here January 1, 1907. The office has been located here three months and the Memphis office will be continued for the last quarter of the year. The De­ catur office will be continued the re­ mainder of this month. Increase in State Banks. A statement of the "aggregate re­ sources and liabilities of the state banks of Chicago, September 6, com­ pared with June 19, the date of last report, has been published by the state auditor. An increase of $7,- 000,000 in resources is shown for Chicago state banks. Thirty:|ilne banks, were doing business in Chicago when the last statement was made public, and two have since been add­ ed. The total amount of resources is $404,630,022, an increase of $7,774,689. Of this amount an increase of $3,- 311,534 is shown on loans and dis­ counts. The liabilities of the banks show that the surplus fund has in­ creased $22,059. The total amount on hand at the opening of business Sep­ tember 5 was $15,711,677. The sav­ ings deposits were $153,901,724, an in­ crease of over $4,000,000 since June 19. ; To Investigate Diphtheria Scare. Diphtheria in epidemic form was re­ ported to the state board of health as' existing at Spring Valley, in Bureau county, and at Bushnell, in McDon- ough county. Dr. J. C. Westervelt of Shelbyville, inspector for the board, was sent to Spring Valley. Thirty cases of the contagion and three deaths are reported from that point. Dr. E. S. Baker of Jacksonville was directed to investigate the situation at Bushnell, where, it is said, school- houses and churches have been closed because of the spread of the disease. Before returning Dr. Westervelt will make extensive sanitary investiga­ tions at Warren, Jo Daviess county, atad Winnebago, Winnebago county. Seek Revision of Food Laws. Revision of the state pure food laws to conform with the measure enacted by the last congress is sought by the Chicago Grocers and Butchers' associ­ ation. In doing this the merchants hope to get a statute that will place the responsibility where it belongs, upon the manufacturers of food prod­ ucts, and not upon the retailers who sell them. This reform is accom­ plished by the national law, but it still is the law in Illinois to arrest and fine the grocer upon whose shelves is found impure goods, while the manu­ facturer who palmed them off on him often escapes without so much as a lose of reputation. Favor New industrial Home. An appropriation for the establish­ ment of an industrial home for girls probably will be made by the Sanga­ mon county board of supervisors. The proposition is looked upon favorably by a committee appointed by the board to confer with a committee from the board of managers of the home for the friendless. According to the rules of the home for the friendless girls over ten years old are not admitted to the home. It is the present plan of the committee to rent an eight or nine-room house for the purpose and ultimately to ereet or purchase a building. NEWS OF ILLINOIS. HAPPENINGS OF INTEREST FROM ALL OVER THE STATE. OF MfUt Kane County Farmers Dissatisfied With Contracts They Are Asked to Sign--May Sell to Bot- , "Tfl vtMng' Factorl** ̂ > Elgin.--Kane county farmers are dissatisfied with the price offered for milk by condensed milk companies for the next six months. The contract prices per 100 pounds announced are: October, $1.35; November, $1.45; De­ cember, 41-55; January, $1.55; Febru­ ary, $1.45; March, $1.35. This is an average of three cents per 100 higher than the company paid for the corresponding months of last year. The farmers believe they should have an average of $1.50 per 100. As a result of dissatisfaction few are signing contracts and many are selling their milk tp the bottling fac­ tories, which allow the farmers to use a cheaper grade of feed. Life of Philanthropist Ended. Elgin.--George P. Lord, Elgin's, leading philanthropist, died here, aged 87. Mr. Lord was born in Leroy, N. Y. From 1855 to 1866 he was engaged in business in Chicago; in 1867 he be­ came business manager of the Elgin National Watch factory, which posi­ tion he held for nine years. Mr. Lord has served as mayor of the city, treas­ urer of Elgin insane hospital, and in other positions of trust. At the time of hrfff-di^ath he was pres­ ident of the Elgin academy of the Northwestern university, trustee of Beloit college, president of the Elgin Y. M. C. A„ and president of the Elgin Old Peoples' home, which he founded. He was the donor of Lord's park, Elgin. It is estimated that he has aided charitable and public institutions in Elgin to the extent of $150,000. Veteran County Clerk Deacl. Kewanee.--County Clerk Frank G. Welton died after two days' illness of pneumonia. Fop 37 years he held the office of county clerk of Henry coun­ ty, holding the record for that posi­ tion in Illinois. He went through the civil war in the Forty-second Illinois, losing a leg in the last year of serv­ ice. He was prominent in Masonic, Grand Army and Republican circles in western Illinois for many years. The wife of Judge Ben M. Smith of Chicago and the wife of Attorney Rob­ ert L. Sheppard of Evanston are among the six children iiurviving him. He was 63 years old. Will Welcome Saloon Men. • Galesburg.--Mayor Lake W. San­ born decided to deliver an address of weleome on behalf of the city to the Liquor Dealers' State Protective as­ sociation, which meets here, in spite of the protest of the anti-saloon peo­ ple and the wishes of the college fac­ ulty and city pastors. He holds that the convention will be composed of a body of men engaged In commercial pursuits recognized by law, as legiti­ mate, and that it wouFd be discourte­ ous to give them no recognition. Safeblowers Rob a Bank. Morris.--The bank in the village of Verona, 111., was robbed September 14. The building was entered about two o'clock and the burglars succeeded in blowing the bank safe to pieces. The explosion wrecked the interior of the building and the noise was heard by many persons, but no one arrived on the scene in time to capture the men. They were in the bank about ten min­ utes. There was only $800 in the safe and the burglars got but $500 of that. Alleged Murderers Returned. Gov. Deneen honored a requisition for the return of Theodore KatsimanB and Joseph Dargo to Sharon Springs, Kan., where they are wanted for the alleged murder February 6 last of Sam Marco, a section boss. The men were taken back by Sheriff A. G. Hays of Sharon Springs, who came here with the papers for the two men. Localities Need Rain. Rain is needed throughout the northern district and in many locali­ ties of the central, according to the weekly weather bulletin issued by Wil­ liam G. Burns, director of the Illinois section of the weather bureai^ United States department of agriculture. Gov. Deneen to Address Bankers. Gov. Deneen has been added to the list of speakers who will address the convention of the Illinois State Bank­ ers' association in Springfield Sep­ tember 25-26. The governor was ten­ dered an invitation some time ago to address the bankers, but was unable at that time to give a positive answer. The executive notified the general committee in charge of arrangements for the convention of his acceptance of the invitation. The governor's ad­ dress will be delivered on the opening day. ; Tax Men Get After Banker. Waukegan.--The Lake county board of assessment review has decided to tax Byron L. Smith, the Chicago banker, for a large sum for property at his summer home at Lake Forest. He tried to escape by claiming he was fully assessed in Chicago. The assess­ ments of Calvin Dur&ud. Daisy Smith, Abram Poole, George Flndlay and D. B. Jones were also increased. Asylum Employes Dismissed. Elgin.--Samuel Case, for eight years pharmacist at the Northern Illinois insane hospital, was discharged by Superintendent Podstata for "permit­ ting vulgar gossip in the drugroom," and ex-Orderly Dean, formerly con­ nected with the institution, is forbid­ den access to the buildings or grounds.< Dean was dismissed from service a short time ago. Peoria a Good Ball Town. Peoria.--Peoria's attendance at the Three-Eye league games during the season of 1906 set a new record for the league, eclipsing that of two years ago, when Springfield with a pennant winning team had 56,000 paid admis­ sions. Secretary Arthur Lehman)! made known the official figures of 66,• 535 paid admissions for the season just closed. Coroners of State Meet. The annual convention of the Illi­ nois State Coroner's association Was held at Chicago. Coroners from 48 counties were present, besides several of the Cook county deputy coroners and coroners' physicians. Peter M. Hoffman, Cook county coroner, was elected president of the association. Other officers chosen were: First vice president, C. Z. Noel, Joliet; second vice president, C. N. Streeper, Alton; secretary! R. L. Baker, Peoria; trea* urer, William Woodruff, Springfield. Assets of Zion City. Chicago.--Zion City's assets are $2,528,481.02, instead of $20,000,000, as claimed by John Alexander Dowie, and the liabilities are $6,125,018.33. These figures were made public by Receiver John C. Hately in his first" report to Judge K. M. Lahdis. The re­ port, made after six weeks of delving into tangled accounts, shows that if the estate founded by Dowie were sold at market values the creditors of the religious-industrial enterprises would realize about 40 cents on the dollar. Think Minister Too Aged. --Chicago.--The age limit agitation has reached the church. A minister who has attained to his sixtieth year, no longer has the necessary vital force, activity, and "hustle" to render himf self valuable to a congregation. So the trustees of the Austin^ Congrega^ tional church told their pastor, the Rev. E. B. Chase. He bowed before their wishes and wrote his resignation. Arrested for Gigging Fish. Lincoln.--Deal Comfort was arrest­ ed for gigging fish in Sugap creek. FADED TO A 8HADOW. Worn Down by Five Years of Suffer' , ing from Kidney Complaint* Mrs. Remethe Myers, of 180 South Tenth St, Ironton, O., says: "I have worked hard in my time , and have been __ exposed again and again to changes of weather. It is no" wonder my kidneys gave out and I went all to pieces at last. For five years I was fading away and finally so weak that for six months I could not get outj of the house. I was nervous, restless and sleepless at night, and lame and sore in the morning. Sometimes everything would whirl and blur be­ fore me. I bloated so badly I could not wear tight clothing, and had to put on shoes two sizes larger than usual. The urine was disordered and passages were dreadfully frequent. I ?ot help from the first box of Doan'is Kidney Pills, however, and by the time I had taken four boxes the pain and bloating was gone. I have been in good health ever since."

"1 called at Forges' late one evening, ' he said, "and there was Beit working away as usual. 'Do you never take a rest?' I asked. 'Not often,' he replied. 'Well, what's your game?' said I. 'I am go­ ing to control the whole diamond out­ put before I am much older,' he an­ swered, as he got off his stool. 'That's funny,' I said. '1 have made up my mind to do the same; we had better join hands,'" Join hands they did. Unlike Alfred Belt, Cecil Rhodes had small patience with arithmetical de­ tails. Once this characteristic in­ volved him in a difficulty. Pitching a balance sheet into the pile of papers before Beit, he exclaimed desperately, "Here, you understand things; for .heaven's sake tell me how I stand." Natural Color of Pure Water. It was long ago discovered that the natural color of pure water is blue, and not white, as most of us usually supposed. Opinions have not agreed on the cause of the green and yellow tints; these, it' has been discovered by W. Spring, are due to extraneous substances. Dissolved calcium salts, though apparently giving a green tint, due to a fine invisible suspension, have no effect on the color of the water when adequate precautions are taken. The brown or yellow color due to iron salts is not seen when cal­ cium is present. The greon tint is often due to condition of equilibrium between the color effect of the iron salts and the precipitating action of the calcium salts.--Scientific Ameri- <*• ' ' ; , Didn't Have Auk Eggs. Prof. Edwin Ray Lancaster, presi­ dent of the'British association, was busy in his stAidy one morning recent­ ly when a country woman sought an interview with him. Laying a parcel on his desk, she said, triumphantly: "There's two of 'em." "Two of what?" said the professor. "Two 'awk's eggs. I 'ear they are worth £1,000 pounds apiece." The distinguished scientist undid the parcel carefully, looked at the eggs and said with a smile. "These are not auk's eggs. Those that are so valuable are the eggs of the auk --a-u-k." "Oh, hauk," said the wom­ an. "Wait till I get 'old of my son, 'Enery. I'll give Mm wotoh for send­ ing me on a wild goose chase." Tolstoy's Latest Work. Count Tolstoy has completed a new work entitled: "The Divine Human." The characters depicted include the principal revolutionary leaders in Rus­ sia during the years from 1880 to 1890. He is already engaged upon the work of dealing with current events in Russia. Education In Sweden. Nowhere else, unless in America, Is education so universal as in Sweden. Every child must go to school be­ tween the ages of seven and 14, un­ less the parents can show that they ar6 being privately educated. There are about twelve thousand common schools in Sweden, even the thinly populated districts having "ambula­ tory schools," held .in various parts of the district. When this is the case the school term is reduced to about half the ordinary durattoa.---Tlie Craftsman. *; Superb Service, Splendid Scenery en route to Niagara Falls, Muskoka and Kawartha Lakes, Georgian Bay and Temegami "Region, St Lawrence River and Rapids, Thousand Islands, Algonquin National Park, White Moun­ tains and Atlantic Sea Coast resorts, via Grand Trunk Railway System.

Bismarck Hated Monuments. ' Reinhold Begas, probably the great­ est German sculptor, has passed his seventy-fifth birthday. Ten weeks be­ fore Bismarck s death Begas appeared at Friedrlchsruh to get' a final impres­ sion of Gerraaoy's most striking figure before beginning work on the great, Bismarck monument voted by the reichstag. When Begas stated his mis­ sion Bismarck replied: "Gott, why do you wish to set me a great monument? Represent me as being on crutches!" Low Rates to* the Northwest.

Southern Heirlooms at Auction. It is said of William B. Norman, the auctioneer, who died recently, that he waB responsible more than any other man for stripping the south of its old furniture. His auction room was a clearing house for ancestral mahogany from below Mason and Dixon's line, and to look about while a sale was In progress was to bring to mind all the glamour of before-the-war hospi­ tality. .

A NERVOUS^ WRECK Mrs. Green Gained 26 Pound* and Recovered Her Health by Taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. General debility is a term that covers a multitude of cases where there is no acute disease, yet the patient continues to lose strength and the doctor's medi­ cines have no apparent effect*. This is the decline that leads to death if means are not found, t6 check it. In a great majority of <"ases Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will check it and restore health and strength because they actually make new blood and so send renewed vitality to every organ and tissue of the body. Mrs. S. A. Green, whose address is Box 29, R< F. D. No. 4, Franklin, Ga.( says: . "For three and a half years I suffered with weakness and nervous­ ness, complicated with stomach trouble. At times I was confined to my bed for periods ranging from three weeks to two months and was under the physician's care most of the time for three years. I do not know the cause of my trouble but I was prostrated with weakness and, al­ though I took a great deal of medicine, nothing seemed to give me strength. At times my stomach hurt me something fearful and my head often troubled me. I was sleepless and what, sleep I did get did not refresh me. " When I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, J. weighed but 104 jwumls. I knew I was so bad that a few doses would not cure me and I had patience. Soon the piils began to give me strength, my blood got in better condition, I could ^leep well at night and help some wi t h the housework. Now I weigh lBO pounds and think nothing of walking half a mile. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have doue won­ ders for me and the neighbors all kuow this statement is true."

Syrup of Figs has come i^to general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. ' v Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputa­ ble physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Caliiornian blue figs are used to promote the. pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are free to refer, to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your chiidren also that the genuine Syrup of Figs always has the full name of the Company--California Fig Syrup Co.--plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name, of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects.
