Am One of the bills to which the legisla­ tor from this district will "point with pride" during the next campaign aud one which will Well deserve the atten­ tion of the people of this district is that whteh was introduced thru the efforts of the various traveling sales­ men's associations in the interests of the traveling public. This bill, which will upon July I become a state law, provides for the equipping of every conductor of inter- urban or railroad trains with the same powers held by a sheriff. The new law provides for the arrest and punish­ ment of any person using intoxicating liquor on board a car or in or around a station. The first section of the law reads: "Any person who shall drink any in­ toxicating liquor, or who shall be in­ toxicated, ' in or upon any railroad smoking car, parlor coach, day coach, interurban ooaoh,. or caboose car In use for the transportation of passen­ gers or in or about any railroad sta­ tion or platform, upon convictions thereon, shall be fined not less than $25 nor more than $100, or imprisoned in the county jail for not less than 30 days, nor more thau 100 days, or both such fine and imprisonment." The second section says, in part: "Every railroad or interurban conduc­ tor, while on duty, is hereby author­ ized and empowered to exercise in any county of this state for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this act, all the common laws and statutory powers conferred upon sheriffs and it is hereby made the duty of all such conductors to enforce all sections of this act and to arrest without process or warrant any person who violates any provision thereof and so doing they shall be held to be acting for the state and not as an employe of the railroad company. Any such conduc­ tor who shall refuse or fail to comply with the requirements of this act shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be fined not less than $10 nor more than $25." TWO SCORE DIVORCE CASES FORTY COUPLES TO ASK COURT FOR LEGAL SEPARATION. Harvard Herald: The names of just forty couples that desire matrimonial freedom appear on the docket of the McHenr^ county circuit court, which will convene at Woodstock next Mon­ day, May 22, when Judge Donnelly will be the presiding jurist. This is said to be the largest number that have ever appeared on the docket and thereby a record heretofore unattainecl has been made. Of the forty divorce cases twenty-six have been carried over from the last term, the remaining fourteen being cases that have been started since last January, or a period of less than four months. Thirty-eight of the forty are actions for absolute divorce, one for separate maintenance and one to annul the marriage relation. The wife ap­ pears as the complaining party in thir­ ty of the forty cases, from which it is charitable to assume that the gentler sex are not to blame for the marital conditions that prevail in McHenry county. Pressing necessity of some disposi­ tion of the criminal docket is evident when it is known that sixteen prisoners await trial. Of this number eleven are in jail and five are out on bail. All of them must come before the grand jury for action, and Sheriff Henderson says he is anxious that something be done with them, as it is not profitable for a sheriff to board them at 50 cents a day with the prevailing high prices of food stuffs. The grand jury will gei.to work next Monday and it will occupy two days at least in the busi­ ness that will come before that body. About the usual number of common law and chancery cases appear on the eourt docket for the May term of court, tho it is probable that only a few jury trials will take place, for it is the busy time with farmers and to hold this class of jurors will be difficult. But a panel will be necessary to hear the criminal calendar and a week or more will be consumed in disposing of this branch of the court work. State's At­ torney Joslyn is prepared to take up the criminal calendar and is anxious to dispose of as many of the cases thereon as possible, tho he realizes it will be hard to hold jurors for any length of time. NEW ARMORY FOR WOODSTOCK. Word reached Woodstock Saturday from Springfield that from the state appropriation for the purpose of build­ ing and repairing armories the sum of $15,000 was allowed for the building of a new armory at that place, the work on which will be started in a few weeks. The officers and members of Company G, as well as the citizens of the entire community, received the news with great joy. The appropria­ tion was made as a whole and after­ ward had to be divided by a sub-com­ mittee. The request for the allow­ ance was fathered in the senate by Senator Albert J. Olson and In the house by Representative J. H. Vickers of Harvard and the success in securing the same is due to their efforts. FINAL NOTICE.

CONSIDERING SECOND CANDIdaCY WOODSTOCK MAN DI8CU88ES CONGRES­ SIONAL PRIMARY RACE NEXT APRIL. George W. Conn, Jr., of Woodstock is considering the advisability of again becoming a candidate for congress at the primary ri£xt April, according to a statement he made in Elgin last Fri­ day morning. Mr. Conn was on his way to Chicago, where he is a mem­ ber of the federal grand jury. "Yes," he said in reply to a ques­ tion, "I am considering the possibili­ ties of my becoming a candidate again. Friends of mine from all over the dis­ trict are urging me to make another race, in view of the fact that I made so good a showing last time in Mo*- Henry county. I carried my home town nine one and since election it is difficult to find the one." Mr. Conn expressed the opinion that Congressman Copley had made himself sqlid with the farmers of the district at least in his vote on the Canadian reciprocity measure. He says that he has made quite a study of the question and is inclined to believe that those advocating it are using it as a means of vote-getting. He believes that it is a matter that should bear considerable more investigation before being defi­ nitely settled. He says that he finds most farmers are against the measure. - -cur' WORMS. Richmond Gazette: "Cut" worms, one of the worst pests farmers hava to contend with, have appeared in large numbers this spring. Henry Sweet, who resides near Spring Grove, in­ forms »us that on Monday in his garden he counted 216 in a space of sixteen square feet, and Tuesday while setting posts he found 112 at the bottom of one of the post holes. The worms usually appear following a cold, dry spring and they are about the most destruc­ tive pests known. Once in a garden or cum lie iu and they make short work of every growing plant in «ight. The worms disappear about the first of June and it would be advisable for farmers who have not yet put in their corn to withhold the planting for a week or so that it may escape being destroyed by these pests.
