Springfield, in all probability, will secure the next annual meeting of the Illirois Retail Hardware Dealers' as­ sociation. For the past few years the convention has been held at Chicago but the committee In charge of ar­ rangements have been unable to se­ cure the use of the Coliseum for the time set for the convention and it be­ comes necessary to meet in some other city. The executive committee of the as­ sociation visited this city. They ealled upon Adjutant General Dickson and filed a request for the use of the state arsenal. The exact date for the mooting has not been decided upon, but it will be in February. The members of the executive com­ mittee are: L. D. Nfch, Elgin; R. Y. Wallace, Chicago; Grant Porter, Chi­ cago; H. E. Gnadt, Chicago; Guy Mc- Curdy, Bloomington; T. E. Englehart, Chicago; William Biddle, Peoria; R. L. Mason, Canton, and Charles Wood­ ward, Carlinville. An exhibit is usually held in con­ nection with the convention. The con­ vention of the hardware n#en is al­ ways well attended. Live 8tock Breeding Important. At the present time farmers look upon the breeding of live stock as one of the most important steps to the im­ provement of their system of farming. Success in this line, as in all other de­ partments of farm management, must be measured by the actual value of Its products and the profits that may be derived from them. Cottage for Consumptive*. After holding a session at which $500 was appropriated for the Sanga­ mon county exhibit at the Illinois state fair thlB year, the members of the board of supervisors made a trip to the oounty poor farm at Buffalo to in­ spect the institution. After the inspection of the bulld- ilngs and the grounds of the institute ta short meeting was held at which the 'present session came to a close. The board made the trip to the [poor farm in a special train on the [Illinois Traction system. The majority ©f members expressed themselves fol­ lowing the inspection of the construc­ tion of a cottage for the housing of rtuberculosis inmates. There was ap­ proximately twenty-two members of (the board in the party which visited jthe poor farm. The committee of five ^appointed by the board to inspect the .poor farm made a verbal report to the [board in a short meeting held at the |Institute through their chairman, W. jp. Conway. r Pharmacy Board Makes Report. Facts of an interesting character relating to the work of the state board of pharmacy, are contained in the an­ nual report of thatfgbody, transmitted to Governor Deneen, and which was made public. A considerable portion of the report Is devoted to the warfare on the co» calne habit, and the progress that has been made In checking this evil. There are a number of two-page Illus­ trations, made from actual photo­ graphs, showing some of the victims, the manner in which the law is evad­ ed in the sale of the drug, and also a detailed report of the efforts made by the board with the assistance of the authorities to check as far as possible under the circumstances the spread of the habit. Owing to complications arising from the lack of funds to properly carry on the work, the board has been badly hampered in getting results. Fines collected !n Chicago were held up until April, 1911, through action of the municipal court, which held that they could not legally be turned over to the board. In a decision by the supreme court it was held that these fines be turned In, but before this decision was made public, a law was enacted by (he legislature, compelling all fee3 to be turned into the state treasury, from where they can only be obtained by appropriation. The board joined forces In so far as It was possible in aiding the Chi­ cago civil service commission in an^ investigation of the sale of habit form­ ing drugs, and the report of this com­ mission is embodied in the annual re­ port to the governor. Other interesting data contained In the report, briefly summarized, shows: A net gain of fifty-eight in the number of registered pharmacists fn Illinois during the last year. Regis­ tered pharmacist certificates have been issued to 5.618. Of this number 5,375 were renewals, thirty-five reinstate­ ments, twenty-five were reciprocal certificates and 183 were new certifi­ cates. The loss by death and non­ payment of fees was 185. The number of assistant pharmacist certificates issued during the year was 981, a gain of eight over the previ­ ous year.

Cortelyou Testifies Before Committee in "Money Trust" In­ quiry That National Treasury Fur­ nished Cash to Stock Exchange. No 'Shake-Up' for State Departments. Illinois' state departments are not going to sufter any "shake-ups" result­ ant upon Interference from the state civil service commission. This is the statement of W. B. Moulton of Chi­ cago, president of the commission, who spent a day In Springfield. In the last few days persistent ru­ mors have been spread that the de­ partment planned "to wade in" and radically reduce the number of em­ ployes in departments under civil serv­ ice. These rumors have spread like fire among employes, particularly at the capitol, and to most of the state's boards and commissions outside this city. Conspicuously mentioned were the state game department and the state canal commission. It was said that notice had been served by the commission on State Game Commis­ sioner J. A. Wheeler that changes would be asked of him to the extent, it was said, of cutting the office force of the state commission down from j eight or ten to two or three. In the case of the state canal commission, the complaint was said to have been that too many employes were on the payroll of the commission, hence the inquiry there. Of the situation, President Moulton of the state civil service com­ mission, had this to say: "Published reports that we%as a com­ mission are going to jump in and bring about a number of radical changes in the departments are un­ warranted and are unfair to the com­ mission. We are engaged in our reg­ ular work of constant inspection and inquiry of the state departments. We never have done else. It is our custom to inquire of the departments of the work done by their employes. What­ ever changes are to be made in the personnel of those departments Is out of our juflsdiction. We have taken no steps to bring about radical changes, nor are we." Grain Men Stick to U. S. Body. The Illinois Grain Dealers' associa­ tion, holding its nineteenth annual convention in Peoria, disposed of the vexed question of continuing its af­ filiation with the National Grain Deal­ ers' association by deciding to main­ tain its membership for one year only. Alexander G. Tyng, Jr., of the Peoria board of trade, successfully carried through the decision, accepting an amendment offered by W. E. Sheila- barger, Decatur, that relations be con­ tinued for one year instead of indefi­ nitely, and serving notice that at the next annual convention he would ad­ vocate dissolving relations with the national organization. An attempt to refer the question to a mall referen­ dum vote was lost. Opposition to the continued member­ ship grows out of the belief that the national body is controlled by the re­ ceiving interests. The personal influ­ ence of President E. M. Wayne of the national body is responsible for pre­ vention of an open rupture. New York, June 17.--Testifying be­ fore the Pujo congressional commit­ tee, investigating the money trust, George B. Cortelyou, who was secre­ tary of the treasury at the time of the 1907 panic, during the Roosevelt administration, on Thursday told how the government lent J. Pierpont Mor­ gan the $25,000,000 which Morgan in turn lent to banks and thus broke the backbone of the panic on October 24, 1907, sending call money down from 125 to 6 per cent. Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the committee, attempted to learn the names of the banks in which the money was deposited, but Mr. Cor­ telyou said his memory on this sub­ ject was poor. The witness Baid he came here on the night of October 22, 1907, and had ft conference with J. P. Morgan, James Stillman, A. Barton Hepburn, George F. Baker, George W. Perkins, Frank A. Vanderlip and other financiers. After inquiring into the general situ­ ation, he promised that the govern­ ment would aid "In a general way." The next evening, he said, another conference was held. He was not sure that Mr. Morgan was present then. At this conference, the witness said, be promised $25,000,000 for distribu­ tion among the banks. "At the first conference," he ex­ plained, "I stated that I would not de­ posit a dollar except for the relief of the country generally and the com­ mercial community generally." Cortelyou, on being pressed for a list of the banks in which the $25,- 000,000 was deposited, finally referred Mr. Untermyer to the records of the treasury department. "I only remem­ ber," the witness said, "that the money was deposited in national banks. I could not undertake to say which ones." New Incorporations.

Washington, June 15.--President Taft was denounced on the floor of the house Thursday for spending money appropriated for traveling expenses on "political jaunts during which he con­ demned all persons not thinking like himself ."
