LWUfian* When the Fifty-sixth general assembly of Illinois convenes for the regular biennial session in Springfield next January there will be 13 new faces in the senate. The number of changes Is unusually large. Retirements and primary or general election defeats have worked a big change in the house roll call. There are 19 new Democratic members, while on the Republican side 34 new names will be heard. The death of Representative Thomas Curran of the Fifteenth (Chicago) district leaves a vacancy which will probably not be filled because of the expense of a special election. As the division stands, there will be 09 Democratic members and 91 Republicans in the house, with one vacancy and one contest. In the senate there will ho 11 and 40 Republican. ; The poultry show now going on at Qulncy offers an Instructive feature that f-pw other poultry expositions can provide.

Pollution of the streams by city sewage and commercial activities Is the challenge of our times. It Is useless to attempt to stock polluted streams with fish, or provide sanctuaries for migratory game birds along grossly polluted waterways." It used to be that when a fellow died he was dead and that the living presence of a person was evidence enough that he had been duly and regularly born. All that has been chanjred -now. according to Dr. Isaac D. Rawlings, state health director. "Modern civilized existence makes it incumbent on survivors to furnish legal evidence of demise for those who have passed on and requires of the living documentary proof of due and regular nativity. As grounds for this statement Doctor Rawlings points out that about 50,000 certified copies of birth and death certificates are issued annually 'n Illinois, the demand for which he attributes to the recent phenomenal extension of life insurance and to child labor and school laws. The state collects nearly a quarter of a million birth and death records annually at an expense of about $100,000. Within the last few years these valuable records have been filed i.g fireproof storerooms for the first time In the history of the state and within the same period comprehensive compilations. studios and indexing have for the first time been placed upon a reasonable adequate basia. ^' *At Peoria, December Se ttle miauls State Poultry association, with co-operation of the poultry husbandry division of the state department of agriculture, will hold Its annual northern Illinois exposition.

The director of agriculture, Stillinan J. Stanard, is reimbursing county fairs for premium payments made this season, to the extent of $276,700.08-- all that remains of the *520.000 that the legislature set aside from licensed race track collections for the fairs of 1927 and 1028. This amount lacks *610.00 of the total due the fairs. Tbe balance of the appropriation is prorated. leaving due each fsir less than one-quarter of a cent on each dollar It is entitled to receive. Illinois provides more liberal support for agricultural fairs than any other state, 4and collect* the money for this purpose from the licensed race tracks and not from the tax payers. Collections from the race tracks, In the form of license fees and admission taxes exceed by far the • amount due the fairs, but payments must be authorised by legislative appropriation.. the attteuUwFa! officials explain. Recent developments In the program under way to free the cattle herds of Illinois farms from tuberculosis brought about the certification of Fayette county as having three-fourths of all herds pass the test. This renders quarantine regulations effective In that section, and causes the testing of remaining herds -to become compulsory. The Illinois department of agriculture, administering this service, and fulnishing, veterinarians where help Is needed, will extend assistnnce througnoat the winter, or until the county becomes accredited, according to plans outlined by the director.

DECEMBER, 1878 Can the "oldest inhabitant" remember when we had better and more pleasant weather for the time of year than we have been enjoying the past mohth. The enterprising little city of Elgin has treated herself to the luxury of a street railway. We have long noticed that for enterprise and go-ahead, ativeness Elgin was far ahead of other cities of her sire in the northwest. It only has to b« demonstrated that e thing is practicable and useful and her citizens take hold of it at once. Success to their new railway. Our citizens had the pleasure, on Friday and Saturday evenings last, of witnessing the workings of the much talked of phonograph, and all who saw it and heard it talk pronounce it a wonderful machine. It talks, sings, whistles and, in fact, will repeat any kind of a noise that can be made by man. It is indeed one of the wonders of the age. 43 Statistics of the yellow fever are being made up. The total number of deaths has been about 13,000. In New Orleans the deaths were a little less than 4,000, the total number of cases more than 13,000. Allowing the same proportion throughout the south, the whole number of cases must have been about 45.000. It is an extremely dangerous practice for young ladies to put their fusses in the oven to curl them. One of our young ladies lost a fine set by so doing a few days ago.
