One of the important projects that will come before the Forty-sixth gen­ eral assembly and one in which the medical profession and humanitarians of the state will be greatly interested, Is the establishment of an epileptic colony in the state. The movement to have Illinois become one of ten states that possess epileptic colonies was 'started at the annual convention of the National Association for the Study of 'Epilepsy and Care and Treatment of Epileptics, held at Indianapolis, Ind. At this convention, which was at­ tended by 17 delegates from Illinois, and whose first vice-president for the coming year will be William C. Craves, secretary of the Illinois State Board erf Charities, a memorial was unanimous­ ly adopted praying that the coming general assembly in this state appro­ priate sufficient money for an epileptic colony. Illinois is already interested In the care and treatment of epileptics. The next convention of the national association probably will be held In Chicago and the attendance at the In­ dianapolis meeting is taken to mean that humanitarians of the state are hopeful of better things in the control of victimb of epilepsy. The Forty-first general assembly passed a bill for the establishment of an epileptic colony snd it is hoped the Forty sixth will provide the necessary funds. Favor® Waterway Measure. Gov. Deneen declares that all pos- Slble expedition ought to be used by the next legislature in providing for the commencement of work on the channel between Lockport and Utica» for the construction of which the •oters November 3 gave the state au­ thority to issue $20,000,000 in bonds. The preliminary work, such as survey­ ing, securing lands necessary for the right of way, solving all the engineer­ ing problems, will be attacked as soon as possible, In the opinion of the gov­ ernor, in order that congress may see that Illinois is in earnest on the lake- to'the-gulf canal. The Internal Im­ provement commission--composed of iBham Randolph, H. W. Johnson and H. M. Schmoldt--has already set to 'work drafting the necessary bills, and almost as soon as the general assembly convenes measures will be introduced providing for the starting of the pre­ liminary work. i .peneen's Plurality 22,118.

Smith «f Lincoln and Secretary James A. Stone of Bradfordton carried out the following program: "Better Days," Hon. N. E.

Holekamp, St. Louis; preparing Honey for Market," Cteorge W. Yorke, Chicago. Officials Probe Cause of Wrack. A general Investigation of the Wa- basb wreck at lies Junction, In which tinee Uvea were lost, was made by the officials of the road. C. E. Brown, di­ vision superintendent of the road, la to charge of the work. Many of the employes of the road deny any knowl­ edge of a statute which compels them to stop trains at Interurban railway crossings, although Secretary Ktlpat- rtok of the railroad and warehouse commission stated at the coroner's in­ quest that he had notified the presl- $15,000,000 I. C. Suit Opens. The $15,000,000 tsx case of the state of Illinois against the Illinois Central Railway Company was taken up before Judge Stough of the La Salle county circuit court on a demurrer filed by the defendant to the amended bill. The suit was commenced by the state in the spring of 1907. A demurrer was then filed to the original bill and was heard in October of that year. The state took leave to amend and filed its present bill, in which was stated the various claims made against the com­ pany. The principal charge is in mak­ ing the semi-annual settlements pro­ vided for in the company's charter s sufficient amount was not paid. Among other claims made is that the com­ pany did not Include income from in­ vestments in the bonds of other com­ panies, that it did not charge Itself for supplies hauled over the charter line for use on its non-charter line, that it deducted bridge arbitraries for traffic carried over its Cairo and Dubuque bridges, and that it has not divided earnings from traffic carried on both charter and non-charter lines on a mileage basis. The company by Its demurrer denies the right of the state to have included the income charged to have been omitted. The arguments will be made in view of settling these questions of liability. The objections urged are numerous and deny the state's right to maintain the suit on substantial grounds. ILLINOIS fv STATE NEWS Charge Evtt Condition. j Secretary Edward L. Barchard of i the Freeport Civic league in hla re- port at the league's annual meeting, ( charged that sensationally evil civic conditions exist in Freeport. It was j declared that $10,000 had been spent to improperly Influence last spring's local option election; that unpardoned ex-convicts and "Imported men" had voted, some of them twice; that cer­ tain polling places were located in the same buildings with saloons, and that much liquor had been sold on elec­ tion day. It was alleged to be "useless to bring prosecutions for violation of liquor laws, as city officers would re­ mit fines, and in all probability grand juries refuse to indict. The charge was further made that the mayor and chief of police had refused to order out of the city notorious women who had broken up homes, had laughed at evi­ dence in a case involving a number of prominent men, and that capable lawyers had shirked professional duty when asked to take the case. Exhibits Are Scored. A. A. Hill of Decatur finished scor­ ing the corn raised by pupils of the county schools, which form part of the exhibit of Macon county at the Illinois Corn exposition in this city the latter part of the month.

Illinois Body Picks Sits. The Illinois monument committee held a formal meeting in the office of the superintendent of the National cemetery at Andersonville, Ga., after having selected a site for the monu­ ment to be erected to the memory of the Illinois soldiers numbering nearly 1,000, who died in the Andersonville prison. The monument is to be erect­ ed within the enclosure. As soon as the site selected is approved by the war department the committee will in­ vite specifications and bids. The site selected is on the west side, facing east, about 300 yards from the Iowa monument and Is one of the prettiest within the enclosure. Rule Company la Inefficient. Company A of Areola, Fourth reg­ iment, Illinois National Guard, which was said to have had a padded pay roll for service during the recent riot in this city was mustered out of service of the regiment because of inefficiency. Word was received in this city several days ago stating that the officers of the company had padded the pay rolls and that the entire company was dis­ honorably discharged. The adjutant general's office has received no noti­ fication of this aud asserts that the company was inefficient and' was dropped from the regiment because of this only. Claim They Now Have Control. The senate "progressives" an­ nounced that they had secured the sig­ natures of 20 members of the senate to the pledge to organize that body in favor of the governor. Hamilton, Potter, McElvain and Stuart signed up, making the necessary majority to control the Republican caucus. Sena­ tors Jones and Dunlap, who have been engineering the combination for the governor, say four more will sign. The governor's lieutenants in the house announced that they would have 60 votes. Estates Repay Money. Executors of the estate of Floyd K. Whittemore, state treasurer from 1899 to 1901, have made settlement with Treasurer Smulski for fees adjudged to be due the state by the supreme court and withheld by Treasurer Whit­ temore while in office.

IMVN MISSOURI VJHf CANADA'S RESPECT FOR LAW AND ORDER THE SUBJECT FOR FAVORABLE COMMENT. Those who have visited Canada are always impressed with the strict ob­ servance that Is given to the laws of the country, and the order that Is preserved everywhere. The editor of the Gazette, of Fulton, Nev., recently paid a visit to Western Canada. He was so impressed with the conditions that he saw everywhere, that on his return home he was inspired to write as follows: "Reverence and respect for law is a dominant characteristic of the Canadian people. Wherever one goes in Canada, whether east or west, the law is supreme. The law is obeyed because it is law, seemingly, and not because violation oarries a- penalty. Canada enforces the law and makes every law effective. No coun­ try is more free than Canada. In name Canada is a dependency of the Brlt» ish Crown. In fact, it Is almost a third republic. All Its taxes are voted, collected and expended by the Domin­ ion and the provinces. The nominal head of the Government Is the Gov­ ernor General, appointed by the Eng­ lish Crown. Practically his only au­ thority is to veto the acta of parlia­ ment, which he scarcely ever exer­ cises. Canada gives nothing to the support of the English government or the English king. She gives England the advantage in trade regulations and tariff laws, and in return receives the protection of the British army and navy. Canada enjoys the protection without sharing in the expense. "The sale of liquor is strictly regu­ lated. None but hotel-keepers may obtain license to vend the stuff, and before a licensrf can be secured an ap­ plicant must prove good character and provide twenty rooms in his tavern for the accommodation of guests. The bar-rooms close at 7 o'clock Saturday evening and remain closed until Mon­ day morning. The schools and churches In Western Canada esclte admiration. Though new, Western Canada is not godless. The finest buildings in eyexy town are the churches. Next come the school houses." Turning to the wheat fields of West­ ern Canada, the editor of the Laurel (Neb.) Advocate of Sept. 17th says: "I have often thought that the reason that the characters of Charles Dickens are so impressed upon the minds of his readers is because he dwells upon them so long and de­ scribes them so minutely that by the time one has waded through his long drawn out stories they are so burned into his brain that he can never forget them. It was this way with the Cana­ dian wheat fields. Had we only seen a few the memory of them might have worn away in time, but a long drawn out experience such as we had is sure to leave an uneffaceable im­ pression. Never while we live shall we forget the Canadian wheat fields. They call it the granary of the Brit­ ish Empire, and we don't blame 'em. Nobody who has seen these wheat fields can wonder at their enthusiasm." It is worth while to record that these fields have now been harvested, and in many cases yields as high as forty and fifty bushels per acre have been marketed, while the general average has been away above 20 bushels per acre. Oats and barley have also done well, and the profits, the prices of grains being high, have paid the entire cost of the farms of many a farmer. There'is now 160 acres of land given away, in addition to the 160 acres that the homesteader may purchase at $3.00 an acre. Particu­ lars of this as well as the lowest rail­ way rates will be given by the Canar dian Government Agent. AND THE CAT LAUGHED. ONE CALAMITY NOT FORESEEN. She--John, dear, the doctor says I need a change of climate. Her Husband--All right, the weath­ er man says it will be colder to* morrow. His Information Wit Accurate. Mr. L believes with Solomon that to spare the rod Is to spoil the child, therefore he keeps in a cer­ tain closet a leather strap with which he administers punishment to his off­ spring when they commit any misde­ meanor. A few days ago he had occasion to need the strap, but it was missing from Its usual place, and a thorough search of the entire flat failed to dis­ cover it. Then he offered a reward of five cents to whomsoever of his olive branches could tell him what had become of the lost article. "Gimme the nickel," cried four-year- old Ben. "I knows where it is." When the coin was safely stowed away in his trousers pocket he said, with much pride: **: frowed it down the air-shaft" A Ljng Waii. "Well, Jesse," said a New England-, er, on returning to his native Vermont town after an absence of several years, "how are things? Are you married yet? And did that rich old uncle of yours leave you any mopey ?" "No, I ain't married yet; nor ain't likely to be, so far's I kin see,' an­ swered JeBse, despondently. "If Uncle Bill had done as he ought to, I s'pose I'd been settled down in a house of my' own a long time ago." "So he didn't leave you a cent? That's too bad!" "Yes; an' it puts me an' Mary In an awful hard place. There ain't notbin' for us t' do now but to set down an' wait for some o' her folks to die." And That, of Course, Wss the One That Actually Occurred. , • . Mrs. Silas Bennett was a philoso­ pher. On *a certain dismal occasion some of the neighboring women were condoling with her. With commenda­ ble cheerfulness, says a writer in the New York Times, she replied: "I've raised four girls an' three boys, expectin' every time they'd be twins and red-headed like their Grandpa Bennett, an' yet they ain't. "An' I've worried consid'ble over smallpox breakin' out in my big fam­ ily. So far, 'taln't. "Last summer, durln' July ail' Au­ gust, an' mebbe part of September, I was real meloachollc, fearln' I'd got an appendix; but I guess I ain't. "An' through It all, It never occurred to me that I'd be the one to fall through them rotten old meetln' house steps an' break my leg in two places, but I be."--Youth's Companion. MIX FOR RHEUMATISM The following is a never failing rem­ edy for rheumatism, and if followed up it will effect a complete cure of the very worst cases: "Mix one-half pint of good whiskey with one ounce of Tor is Compound and add one ounce Syrup Sarsap&Hlla Compound. Take in tablespoonful doses before each meal and at bedtime." The ingre­ dients can be procured at any drug store and easily mixed at home. One of the Three. "Well, there were only three boya in school to-day who could answer one question that the teacher asked us,"* said a proud boy of eight. "And I hope my boy was one of the three," said the proud mother. "You bet I was," answered Young Hopeful, "and Sam Harris and Harry Stone were the other two." "I am very glad you proved yourself so good a scholar, my son; it makes your mother proud of you. What ques­ tion did the teacher ask, Johnnie?" " 'Who broke the glass In the back window?'"
