The debate was punctuated with interesting and sensational episodes. Senator McElvain left the chamber when the compromise amendment was voted on the last time and his absence made the vote a tie. Under the rules this killed the amendment, which, If adopted, would have changed the Johnson hill to nothing more than a power site measure and would have held up all other deep waterway de­ velopments. It sought to empower the commissioners to expend $500,000 to conserve power sites and to report to the next legislative on the estimat­ ed cost of the project. The vote by which the bill passed was; Yeas, 30; n*y8 7. This compromise had been agreed to by Representatives Chiperfleld and Shanaban and stirred a debate in the senate in which the integrity of the executive and legislative branches of the government were repeatedly ques­ tioned. It was declared it would have been passed by the house and so end­ ed the waterway fight for the extra session. After this test a motion to recon­ sider the vote was carried by a vote of 20 to 19, but on the next and final roll call the vote stood an even 20 for each side and the amendment was thereby lost. The following three amendments were adopted: Amendment No. 1--Provides a min­ imum depth of not leas than nine feet, Instead of fourteen. Amendment No. 2--Gives the com­ mission power to condemn property. Amendment No. 3--Treats of federal co-operation as follows: "Said board is hereby authorized and empowered to negotiate with the Unit­ ed States government for the purpose of securing the co-operation of said government in the construction of the deep waterway from Lockport to Utica and the public works connected there­ with, and to enter into a contract or contracts with said United States gov­ ernment as to the conditions of such co-operation and cost of construction, and said board is further authorized to confer, and if possible agree, with the United States government upon plans for the ^development and im­ provement of the lower Illinois rivei as a part of the waterway from Utlea to the mouth of said river, such con­ tract or contracts to be conditioned upon the approval of the general as­ sembly of the state of Illinois. "The board of commissioners is further authorized upon the completion of the channel from Lock- port to Utica, as provided for in this act, to tender to the government of the United States the use of said chan­ nel for navigable purposes, condition­ ed upon the obligation of the United States government to maintain the said channel as a navigable waterway and to operate and maintain the locks free of cost to the state of Illinois. For all uses other than navigation the cnannei and its appurtenances shall be and forever remain the property of the state of Illinois." Attorney General Stead transmitted the following formal reply to the sev­ enteen categorical questions which were submitted to him by the Chiper­ fleld resolution adopted by the house yesterday. "It occurs to me at this time that several of the propositions set out in your resolution are not stated in such terms as to enable me to determine the precise legal question or questions upon which my opinion is sought. If further investigation confirms this view, I Bhall be compelled to request your honorable body to resubmit these several propositions in more definite and precise language, in order that here may be no misapprehension as to any of the questions submitted for opinion. In tbe main, however, the questions are not difficult of construc­ tion. "A casual examination of your reso­ lution will show that the questions submitted to me for opinion are of grave importance, and the prepara­ tion of an opinion thereon will re­ quire a wide range of investigation. Among the'questions submitted are the following: "The relative rights of the state University of Illinois. Tbe fortieth annual commencement exercises of the University of Illinois closed when 798 degrees were be­ stowed. An honorary degree of doctor of laws was given William B. Curtis, the newspaper correspondent, and an honorary degree of doctor of engineer­ ing to Ralph Modjeska, designer of the Thebes traction system and latest Quebec bridges. The commencement address by President E. J. James of the university was an Impressive talk on what a diploma really means. The Idea of the speaker was that educated young men and women had ft slight advantage at least over those who were not able to take a college education. Prof. W. D. Pence of the University of Wisconsin delivered the class day address on "A Few Points In Common." Officers of the alumni asso­ ciation elected were: President, P%ter Junkersfeld of Chicago; vice-presi­ dent, Mrs. T. A. Clark, Urbana; secre­ tary-treasurer, F. W. Scott, Urbana. A feature of the commencement sea­ son was the unveiling of a memorial tablet for Dr. A. W. Ptilmer vf the chemistry depvtxaent. and riparian owners In w^ter power hereafter developed in the Desplaines and Illinois rivers, especially as a re­ sult of the augmented flow caused by the sanitary canal;' the firocedure necessary to acquire water power rights by the state, and the measure of damages in such procedure; the right of the state to engage in the water power business and to condemn private property in connection there­ with; the right of the state to take over the water power rights of the sanitary distript of Chicago; the lia­ bility of the state for damages by overflow resulting from the proposed development and improvements; the construction of the constitutional amendment authorizing the $20,000,- 000 bond issue, and the liability of the state for damages beyond her territorial limits. "To investigate these questions and give an opinion thereon between June IB and June 20. a period of six days, of course, is an impossibility. "I shall Immediately take up for consideration and investigation the questions contained In your resolu tion in the crder In which they are presented, end as soon as a conclu­ sion has been reached upon any ques­ tion I shall promptly transmit to your honorable body a written opinion thereon. "It is my purpose and desire to comply witb house resolution No. B at the earliest possible date, but I am wholly unable at this time to state or even approximate when that date will be." The first roll call was on amend ment No. 1 which provided that the waterway board should first ascertain whether the cost of the work will ex­ ceed $20,000,000 and report to the gov­ ernor. forbidding the board to award contracts without legislative approval, authorizing the expenditure of not ex­ ceeding $500,000 in acquiring power sites, and empowering the board to negotiate for United States co-opera­ tion. The roll call on amendment No. 1 was as follows: Yeas--Republicans. Curtis, Lish, Funk, McElvain, Gray, MaglU, Hay, Potter, Hurburgh, Telford--11. Jones, Y ess--Democrats. Burton, O'Conor, Hearn, Tossey, Madigan, Waage--7. Manny, Total--18. Nsye--Republicans. Andrus, Dailey, Barr, Ettleson, Beall, Johnson.

Berry of the Illinois railroad and warehouse com­ mission has issued a public explana­ tion of the two bills which, passed by the general assembly In Its regular session, which have been signed by Governor Deneen and will become laws of the state July 1. One of the laws will place express companies operating within the state under the jurisdiction of the commission; the other extends the authority of the commission. Pamphlets containing the full text of the laws soon will be Issued. The express law as implied by Its title, places all express companies un­ der the supervision and control of the commission, to prescribe, promulgate and establish reasonable and just rules or schedules of maximum charges for each kind of property, parcels and merchandise. The law will give the commission power to hear and adjust complaints, to demand and receive re­ ports as to the business of such com- pEnicB and to fix the limits of free delivery. Under the new laws, the commis­ sion will have the power to see that all common carriers, other than street railway lines, furnish transportation at reasonable rates.

Sheets, president of the Illi­ nois Press association, when he pre­ sented his annual report at the open­ ing of the convention of the associa­ tion, issued a warning that responsi­ bility for "cleaning up Illinois" lies largely with the editors of the news­ papers of the state. "Appeals to Thomas Jefferson, the American eagle and party loyalty no longer suffice.- he said. "On the fearlessness of the editors in fighting for principles will depend the success of the effort to purify the state." New Illinois Corporations.

En­ deavor. a barque of 370 tons, entered the Inlet first called Sting Rays Har­ bor, but afterwards Botany Bay, from the beauty and variety of the plants growing about its shore. The vessel remained eight days, and before she left the British flag was hoisted. As is tho custom on each recurring anni­ versary, the flag was again unfurled upon the spot where it was first dis­ played, and was saluted by the guns of the warships in the harbor. A Heartless Father. "I need some help with my household duties," announced a woman when her husband came home the other night. "What's the matter with our daugh­ ter?" the husband wanted to know. "Our daughter? The Idea! Why, Jim, you know she's awfully delicate, and she would die if she had to do any household work. She has her school, and--" "And what? Her teacher's report shows that she isn't doing a bit of school work." "But she is the star member of her basketball team, and you know she is eager to take the prize at the gum- n&s'um contest, uut that s just like a man--wanting a delicate girl to en­ gage in rough, hard labor. Be asham­ ed of yourself, Jim Jenkins! You have no feeling." The central police station was over­ crowded one day last week. Officers were wondering what they would do should another arrest be made, when the door opened and a sleepy-looking, blue eyed foreigner drifted In with a most dejected "Goot efning, mens." The officers nodded their greetings to the stranger, who then asked: "Can I did some sleepings here? I yust came from Chicago and am start to work tomorrow." "Well, the only space we have left Is a bunk which is already occupied by a colored man. You can share that If you want to," replied the offi­ cer. The man thought for a few minutes, scratched his head and said: "Well, I guess I no can see him in dark, and besides I am tired and want sleep."--Milwaukee Wisconsin. "The Bard of Oden." The Rev.

"DEAF" BEGGAR COULD HEAR Incident That Struck Householder as Being Along Slightly Humor ous Lines. "Many funny things happen in a flat during the course of a few months," said a Milwaukee flat dwell­ er, "but one of the best things I ever saw happened yesterday. "I was suddenly roused from my tlumber by three loud knocks on the door. Jumping to my feet and into a bathrobe, I hastened to see what was wanted. I opened the door In time to see a young fellow half way up the flight to the next floor. "'Hello, there!' 1 yelled at hlsn. "He turned around, hastened back and handed out a small envelope, pointing to the inscription. 1 glanced at it. It was an appeal for aid be* cause the applicant was deaf and dumb. "Say, I was mad enough to kick him down stairs. Then the joke struck me and I slammed the door in his f*e« and went back to bed laughing." SUCH A QUESTION. Willing to Support Proxy. Albert Tiedemann, a freshman of th£ University of Pennsylvania, was coiled upon to vote for ofilcers in a recent gathering. Not being well ac­ quainted witb the nominees, he thou<htfully hesitated before filling out bis ballot. One of the company left the room with the explanation that he would "vote by proxy." "So will I," said Albert, and witb his pencil poised above his paper, leaned over to a companion on his right and asked: "Say, what's Proxy's first name?" Use of Ants in Nature. Prof. J. C.

To start you thinking on this interesting subject, / wiii try to lay out the plan In a general way and you can then follow into more minute details. Pawlow (pronounce Pavloff) a famous Russian Phy­ sician and Chemist, experimenting on some dogs, cut into the tube leading from the throat to the stomach. They were first put under chloroform or some other anaesthetic and the operation was painless. They were kept for months in very good condition. When quite hungry some un-appetizing food was placed before theili and, although hunger forced them to eat. It was shown by analysis of the contents of the stomach that little If any of the digestive Juices were found. Then, in contrast, some raw meat was put where they couldn't reach It at once, and a little time allowed for the minds of the dogs to "anticipate" and create an ap­ petite. When tbe food was finally given them, they de­ voured it ravenously and with every evidence of sat­ isfaction. The food was passed out Into a dish through the opening before It reached the stomach. It was found to be mixed with "Ptyalln" the alkaline Juice of the mouth, which is Important for the first step in di­ gestion. Then an analysis v-'as made of the contents of "There's a Reason" tor saying "Tbe Memory Lingers" when breakfast if started with POST TOASTIES. the stomach, into which no food had entered. It was shown that the digestive fluids of stomach were flowing freely, exactly as If the desirable food had entered. This proved that it was not the presence of food which caused the digestive juices to flow, but the flow was caused entirely and alone as a result of the actio®, of the mind, from "anticipation." One dog continued to eat the food he liked for over an hour believing he was getting it into his stomach, whereas, not an ounce went there; every particle went out through the opening and yet all this time the di- gestive juices flowed to the stomach, prepared to quickly digest food, in response to the curious orders of the mind. Do you pick up the lesson? Unappetizing food, that which fails to create mental anticipation, does not cause the necessary digestive Juices to flow, whereas, food that is pleasing to tibe sight, and hence to the mind, will cause the complicated machinery of the body to prepare in a wonderful way for Its digestion. How natural, then, to reason that one should alt. (Nrant to a meal in a peaceful, happy state of mind and start off the breakfast, say with some ripe delicious fruit, then follow with a bowl of crisp, lightly browned, thin bits of corn like Post Toasties, add a sprinkle of sugar and some gocd yellow cream and the attractive, appetis­ ing picture cannot escape your eye and will produce the condition of mind which causes the digestive juices nature has hidden in mouth and stomach, to come forth and do their work. These digestive Juices can be driven back by a miad oppressed with worry, hate, anger or dislike of the dis­ agreeable appearance of food placed before onel Solid facts that are worthy the attention of anyone who esteems prime health and human happiness as. a valuable asset in the game of life. £ 6 K* 3? : '4* <•*!
