' * % . TO AItt BANQUET HOU8E ACCENTS INVITATION TO DI|IE WITH PRESIDENT. TO BE HELD ON FEBRUARY 11 r dVC- Legislature Intends to Adjourn for -a Week So It May Run Until the 8aturday When the Nation's Executive Is Here. RnHngflfild.--The house has accept­ ed the invitation tendered by the city of Springfield to attend the banquet to be held on the occasion of President Taft'a visit to the city. The members had ignored the In­ vitation, but finally swallowed its pride and aiter he had verbally cas­ tigated the newspapers and their em­ ployes Representative Pierson pre­ sented a resolution accepting the ban­ quet invitation. It was passed by the house with only a faint scattering oJ dissenting votes. The feeling of the lawmakers arose when a certain Chicago newspaper published a purported letter from State's Attorney Burke of Sangamon county, in which he was quoted as threatening to hold simultaneously sessions of grand jury and legislature to watch for fraud and corruption in the latter body. In his remarks Rep­ resentative Pierson complained bitter­ ly of the stigma placed on the legis­ lature by the vigilance in watching for wrong-doing on the part of a few of Its members. In his intended rebuke to the press he followed the same course. A letter from State's Attorney Burke repudiating his former letter and relieving the legislators from any surveilance, was read. The reso­ lution to accept the banquet followed. Elaborate plans are being made for the festivities attendant on the visit of President Taft February 11, to take part in the Lincoln anniversary cele­ bration. It is proposed to bring the First regiment, I. N. G., here from Chicago. The intention also Is for the legislature to adjourn for a week, so that It may run until the Saturday when the president is here. Present Law Prompts Evasions. "The evasions of taxation by the dwfters of intangible personal property have become notorious. And yet, as at the rate now levied, the tax would amount to the confiscation of one- quarter to one-h&f of the income, the temptation to evasion is great. The result is that such property escapes taxation altogether, or, where imposed, upon those who conscientiously obey the letter of the law, amounts to the imposition upon them of an inequit­ able find Intolerable burden of taxation which Is escaped by their leBs con­ scientious neighbors." How the classification shall be ap­ plied the tax commission did not un­ dertake to say except in a broad way, submitting to the general assembly the results of numerous methods that have been tried out in other states. "There will be important differences of opinion," the report states, "as to what changes are most desirable, and further investigation and discussion will he needed to i^each an agree­ ment." , People to Vote on Senators. Radical changes in the method of electing United States senators are proposed in two bills from Senator John Dailey of Peoria. One would oblige the legislators to abide by the advisory vote on United States sena­ tor regardless of whether the politics of the candidate is the same as the political complexion of the legisla­ ture. The other would have candi­ dates for the legislature specify on the ballots with their names whether they will abide by such an advisory vote. The $40,000 appropriation bill for printing by the secretary of state's of­ fice was passed in the house. It is the first large appropriation bill to be passed at this session. Bill to Suspend Primaries. Practical nullification of the pri­ mary law on certain occasions, as pro­ posed by the Illinois Mayors' associa­ tion, is provided in a bill introduced by Senator Edmund Beall, mayor of Alton. The measure provides that a city council or board of village trus­ tees may pass by a two-thirds vote an ordinance 'providing that no pri­ mary may be held. It applies to all offices except presidential electors and University of Illinois trustees. The pay roll bill, which is limit the number of emffloyes at future ses­ sions of the legislature was started in the senate by Senator Hurburgh. It provides for a permanent corps of em­ ployes. The contingent expense com­ mittee of each house will attend to those on the pay roll at this session. New Illinois Corporations. The secretary of state licensed the following: v F. W.

Springfield.--That present prod' Ing equipment of Illinois cial mines is in advance of market requirement# is the declaration of Secretary David Ross of the state bureau of labor statistics, who gave out his 1910 re­ port of the coal industry for the state. He bases his belief of the finding that one-half of the mines of the state op­ erating full time would easily supply the existing market. According to Secretary Ross* re­ port, the output for the fiscal year was 48,717,853 tons, or 445,857 tons fewer than the number taken out the year before. In the year all the mines were Idle approximately p fourth of the time. The shipping mines were operated but 1-5^ days of the year. Of the 390 shipping mines in operation, 225 blast coal from the solid. The exclusively solid blasting mines employed 22,731 men and produced 25,000,000 tons. In the production of the coal there were exploded 1,000,000 kege of powder. Seventeen men lost their lives on ac­ count of powder explosions. Deny State Fair Snubbed Veterans. Representative B. M. Chiper- field's "call to arms," in an at­ tempt to array Illinois Civil war vet­ erans against the state board of agri­ culture, because of alleged mistreat­ ment of tbe old soldiers at the state fair, has drawn a "cross fire" and hot replies from J. K. Dickirson, secretary of the board, and Maj. James A. Con­ nolly of Springfield, department com­ mander of the Grasd Army of the Re­ public. In an address before the house of representatives, Chiperfield is credit­ ed with attacking the controlling pow­ ers of the state fair by charging them with refusing to provide the war vet­ erans a headquarters tent, and in other ways showing lack of apprecia­ tion of the men who wore the blue. The house member from Fulton county is also charged with attempt­ ing to support his statements upon authority received from Major Con­ nolly, who happened to be present when the attack upon the fair board was made. Secretary Dickirson made a denial of Chiperfield's charges and Major Connolly stated the representative did not have his authority to say the fair management "refused" the old sol­ diers a headquarters tent. In speaking of the matter Dickirson said; "The board has always given the old soldiers everything they asked for; We have never refused them anything like camp space, or a place to hold reunions. I talked to President Anthony about the unfair attack made upon the board. He had charge of the privileges at the last fair. Talk­ ing over the long distance 'phone be said: * " 'There is no truth in this. The old soldiers have never been denied tho customary courtesies by the board. If they had been I certainly would have known it. I am satisfied the board has acceded to every wish of the old soldiers.' "Last year the board paid $196 for badges furnished the old soldiers. We provided a band for their day at the fair. You will remember it rained that day, and the usual parade was not given. So far as the board re­ fusing to furnish the old soldiers head­ quarters, I know there's nothing to it. The board will furnish space to any organization that wants to meet at the fair, but it doesn't furnish tents. As I remember, the old soldiers are ex­ pected to furnish the tent and the board grants the use of the ground free."

If peace shall have been made between chair and floor it will be "read" by title instead of devoting 63 hours to the actual reading of its 1,368 pages. Nuns Pass State Pharmacists' Test.

Among those who passed as assistants were Sisters Bernadine and Sister. Eusebia ef St. John's hos pital, and Virgil C. Dowlin, all of this city. Sixteen of the fifty-two candi­ dates for registered pharmacist and eleven of the twenty-one candidates for assistant pharmacist passed. Springfield, 111.--The people of Illi­ nois have been defrauded of land val­ ued at from $260,000,000 to $500,000,- 000. Of this 1,816 acres lie along the lake shore from South Chicago to Waukegan and 1,087 are within the limits of the city of Chicago. The Illinois Central railroad alone has grabbed 400 acres In the city's front yard and the attorney general should sue to recover its value and perhaps revoke the company's charter. The Chicago river has been camped on illegally from end to end by great corporations and business houses. These are a few of the conclusions reached by the Chiperfield committee which was appointed by the Forty- sixth general assembly to Investigate submerged lands in the state. Aiter almost two years of exhaustive labor the committee has compiled its report, which consists of 16 large typewritten volumes and which is accompanied by two massive chests filled with maps, photographs, documents and records. Bald statements and verbose charges are not relied on by the com­ mittee to support the truth of their findings. With all the care of expert lawyers preparing a case for court the legal questions Involved have hee*! gone into and hundreds of pages in the report consist of supreme court decisions, legislative enactments and what amounts practically to complete legal briefs. And with no beating around the bush or technical equivocation, the committee makes the unqualified state­ ment that the reclaimed empire stolen from. the people can be recovered. Strong recommendation is made that proceedings be started immediately. So comprehensive is the report in the belief of lawyers who have seen it that any ordinary member of the bar could walk into court with it un­ der his arm and turn the state 0t Illinois upside down. Allusion is made to "the amazing indifTerence by the city of Chicago on this subject, which has deprived the people of wonderful opportunities to obtain places of resort and accommo­ dation for public purposes that other­ wise might easily have been theirs. "Chicago up to this time," the re­ port continues, "has deliberately thrown away its opportunities in this direction and to a very surprising de­ gree is absolutely indifferent as to whether or not any reclamation of »he6e lands can be made." Discussion of the Illinois Central in­ cludes this: "It is a hiatorv which reads like a romance as to how the Illinois Cen­ tral, starting in with a strip of 200 feet in width from the city limits northward, has continued to grasp and extend until now substantially 400 acres of the most valuable land of the city of Chicago are in its posses­ sion. "When the achievements in this di­ rection of this company are consid­ ered it makes the choicest depreda­ tions of Captain Kidd look like an amateur performance. "Without question it has allowed commercial considerations of gain and profit in the making and selling of lands to influence its course and to direct its policy. It has not carried out the provisions of its charter. It has not dealt in good faith with the people of the state of Illinois and in the opinion of this committee its char­ ter is subject to revocation." No total estimate of the value of the stolen lands Is set forth in the re­ port, but Representative Chiperfield has figured that the committee traced filled land grabbed from the people of a total value of a quarter of a billion. The committee only had a $15,000 ap­ propriation to work on, however, and Chairman Chiperfield and his col­ leagues believe that if they could have followed the leads at hand thcv would have unearthed at least $500,000,000 in grabs. Chiperfield spent $5,000 of his own money compiling the report. In addi­ tion to the gigantic Chicago seizures thousands of grabbed acres were found in various sections of the state ---river land, sVuigh land, lake land, dock property and hunting preserves. The greatest offenders outside Chi­ cago is held to be the Wiggins Ferry company at East St. Louis, and the Cairo Trust company is accused of having squatted on the entire river front at Cairo N'umeroup offenders were found on the Desplaines, Illinois, Mississippi. Ohio and Wabash rivers. The Pullman company and the Knick­ erbocker Ice company at the southern end of Chicago are in the list of al­ leged illegal holders.

PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED "I have suffered from the same trou­ ble (painful finger nails) at different periods of my life. The first time of its occurrence, perhaps twenty-five years ago, after trying home remedies without getting helped, I asked my doctor to prescribe for me, but it was not for a year or more that my nails and fingers were well. The inflamma­ tion and suppuration began at the base of the finger nail. Sometimes it was 60 painful that I had to use a poultice to induce suppuration. After the pus was discharged the swelling would go down until the next period of inflammation, possibly not more than a week or two afterwards. These frequent inflammations resulted in the loss of the nail. I had sometimes as many as three fingers in this state at' one time. "Perhaps ten years later I began again to suffer from the same trouble. Again I tried various remedies, among them a prescription from a doctor of a friend of mine, who had suffered from a like trouble. This seemed to help somewhat for a time, but it was not a permanent cure; next tried a prescription from my own doctor, but this was so irritating to the sensitive, diseased skin th&t I COuld DOt USe it. I began to use Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I had used the Cuticura Ointment previously on my children's scalps with good effect. I did not use the Soap exclusively, but I rubbed the Cuticura Ointment into the base of the nail every night thoroughly, and as often beside as I could. I had not used It but a few weeks before my nails were better, and In a short time they were apparently well. There was no more suppuration, nor inflam­ mation, the nails grew out clean again. One box of Cuticura Ointment was all that I used in effecting a cure." (Signed) Mrs. I. J. Horton, Katonah, N. Y., Apr. 13. 1910.

Dr. Caldwell, an eminent specialist tn diseases of the stomach, liver and bowels has looked the whole field over, has prac­ tised the specialty for forty years and is convinced that the ingredients contained In what is called Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin has the best claim to attention from constipated people.
