> - -mm f K .> Correspondent Write# of Thiags of Interest at the State Capital. . • t 3 Springfield.--From reports of its crop correspondents to the Illinois de­ partment of agriculture under date of . August 1, the following information Is obtained: There is a decrease of 326,- 061 in the acreage devoted to corn this year as compared with 1906. The to­ tal acreage of this crop for 1907 be­ ing 7*289,501, as against 7,615,562 acres planted in 1906. The wet weather in - the early part of the > season delayed the farm work to such an extent that farmers were unable to put in as large an acreage as they intended. The ,, area seeded to wheat for the crop of ^\l®07 was 1,442,160 acreo, all of which was winter wheat except 68,350 acres. Three per cent, of the winter wheat area wate winter killed or destroyed ' by floods, leaving 1,400,834 acres of wheat (spring and winter) for harvest. The average yield per acre of spring ind winter wheat was 18 bushels, the t£tal yield being 24,693,328 bushels. The ruling price of wbeat August 1 was 82 cents per bushel, which is the highest price of this product with one exception since 1890. The value of the entire crop if it had been sold at the August 1 price is $20,225,418. The area devoted to oats this year is the smallest seeded for 15 years, being but 3,008,313 acres or 540,000 acres less than the average acreage for the past ten years. Of the above 1,793,- 508 acres are reported from northern Illinois, 917,079 acres from central Illinoi» and 297,726 acres from the southern division of the state. The average yield of 29 bushels to the acre is the lowest with one exception since 1895 and the total yield of 89,147,230 bushels is the smallest since 1895. Ask About Alcohol Power. Farmers of Illinois are taking great Interest in the manufacture of dena­ tured alcohol, made possible to them by the action of the last congress, which removed the disabilities of small producers. Thousands of in­ quiries are being made by farmers in every section of the state as to the new law and regulations. Every farmer who writes to the United States secretary of agriculture is sup­ plied with a process for making the alcohol and placing it on the market for four cents a gallon, including a profit of nearly two cents. Heretofore denatured alcohol has been kept off the market by a provision in the United States revenue act which re­ quired the presence of a Uhited States officer wherever it is manufactured, and the manufacturer was compelled to pay a revenue sufficient to meet the offlcer's salary. This provision nece§- narlly operated In favor of the big tu^uta^i^r, and kept farmers out of the business entirely. It gave the big manufacturers, nearly all located at Peoria, a monopoly, and the price has been held up to that of gasoline, practically the entire priduct of which tsdfiies from Standard; Oil refineries. CcngTfcgs repealed the provision re­ quiring the presence of a United States official at the plants, putting each and every small manufacturer on his honor to make proper returns to the government, including a small tax. By doing this the government has dealt a hard blow to the Peoria monopoly and the gasoline Interests and opens the way to the alcohol age as a power agency. Plan New Railway to ChlcsflO. The secretary of state issued to the Chicago & Interurban Electric Rail­ way company, with principal offices tn Chicago, and capital stock of $100,- 000, liconse to incorporate. The road is to be constructed from Chicago, south through Harvey, South Holland, town of Calumet, Thornton, Chicago Heights and Steger, in Cook county, and Crete, in Will county; thence west to Joliet, across the line from Blue Island, through Riverdale and Dalton. thence northeast through Thornton and West Hammond, and other cities and towns to be deter­ mined upon. The incorporators and first board of directors are: J. M. CvfcGill, John M. Humphrey, Claude E. Fitch, L. E. Eaton, J. M. Miller, H. D. Moreland and Fred F. Myers. 'Zoller Seeks High Office, Dr. George A. ZeJler, superintendent of the Bartonville insane asylum, Is mentioned as a candidate for the nom­ ination on the Republican ticket for lieutenant governor. Dr. Zeller was appointed to the superintendency by former Gov. Richard Yates, while he was serving as a surgeon in the army In the Philippines, and continued un­ der the present administration. He has been prominent in Peoria cowitf politics for a number of years. Fight Over Canal Power. The fight for the $5,000,000 water- power plum in the Desplaines river south of Joliet has reopened with a vigor that portends one large warm ttme when the general assembly re­ convenes in October to consider the •water-power bill. The hostilities be­ tween the valley people and sanitary district officials opened "with a litera­ ture bombardment of members of the legislature. John Henderson Garnsey, a member of the Joliet committee, sent out a series of "educational talks" aimed at Chicago interests. Soldiers See Severe Try-Out. With the thermometer registering 98 degrees in the shade, the members of the First Illinois cavalry Jiap*> re­ turned to camp after a 16 mile "hike" over Sangamon county roads. Capt. Sayre was in command. The men left ca*np early in the morning and did not return until the sun was spend- In* its fury over Camp Lincoln. Many of the members of the command are not accustomed to outdoor work, but there ware M prostrations re­ ported. Commission Lacks Power. The decision of the Illinois railroad and warehouse commission that it has no power to interfere in the dispute whiqh has arisen in connection with the elevation of tracks at Grand Cross­ ing, Chicago, is of interest to the en­ tire state for the grade crossings are to be done away with in all the large cities of Illinois in the near future. The commission rightly urges that it should be clothed with sufficient pow­ er to adjust controversies of thjs character. There is no question of fts authority in cases where there is ina­ bility of railroads to agree upon a crossing. But when such a crossing has been established the authority of the commission ends. The legislature of Illinois is to meet in the coming Oc­ tober, when there will be opportunity for consideration of this important subject. The elevation of railroad tracks in and near large cities is now a settled feature. The day for the crossing of city streets at grade has passed. In the nature of things and in the interest of the railroads them­ selves, there must often be cases where one road is carried over or un- 'der another. There is plenty of room' for dispute about the division of ex­ pense (gr such elevation, notably where a city ordinance for track eleva­ tion and the real interests of great trunk lines combine to require an enormous outlay. TKN YEARS OF PA| Unable to Do Even Housework Be­ cause of Kidney Troubles. Mrs. Margaret Emmerich, of Clin­ ton St, Napoleon, O., says: "For fifteen years I was a great sufferer from kidney trou­ bles. My back pained me terribly. Every turn or move caused s h a r p , s h o o t i n g pains. My eyesight was poor, dark spots appeared before me, and I had dizzy spells. For ten years I could not do housework, and for two years did not get out of the house. The kidney secretions were irregular, and doctors were not helping me. Doan's Kidney Pills brought me quick relief, and finally cured me. They saved my life." Sold by all dealers. SO cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. FULLY UP WITH THE TIMES. Equalization Board Meets. The railroads of Illinois see trouble ahead of them in the meeting of the state board of equalization, which met here, and at once took a recess 'for two weeks. Heretofore the board has assessed railroads on a basis of 70 per cent, of their full value, that basis being fixed as the foundation of values on all property; As farm lands have ivcreased in assessment, it will, there­ fore, be necessary to increase the as­ sessment of corporations and rail­ roads. Railroad attorneys are wait­ ing to see what the county assess­ ments will show in the way of in­ crease in real estate. The board meets early this year, because the new law provides for meeting on the first Tuesday after the tenth of August, and after November 1 the members may not draw their per diem. In or­ der to enable the state board to finish by November 1 the new law fixes September 7 as the time at which the per diem of the county boards of re­ view shall cease. There is nothing, however, that compels these boards to complete their work on these days, and the state board ^s of the opinion that its work cannot be closed by November 1. Weeds Killed by Fluid. The Illinois Central has discovered an apparatus with w^ich they hope to destroy the weeds which crop out in healthy abundance along the com­ pany's tracks and about the country Oklahoma City Surprised Narrow. Minded New Yorker, x- . Oklahoma amazes an easterner. The wide, asphalted streets, the plate glass fronts of department stores, the clean sidewalks, the weil-dressed, unhurried choppers, the finish, the metropolitan air you find in Oklahoma City, for ex­ ample, seem marvels to find in a ter­ ritory only 17 years old. But do not say aft. A New Yorker who went there on business complained that fate was thrusting him into a wilderness, and his Oklahoma associates could not re­ assure him. But coming down to breakfast the first morning, at his hotel In Oklahoma City, he stared around in wonder as he entered the dining-room. "This," he exclaimed, "this is Okla­ homa!! Why, do you know?" confi­ dentially, "I even found a porcelain bathtub In my room." "Well," said an Oklahoman, drily, "don't you have those in New York?" BABY TORTURED BY ITCHING. Rash Covered Face and Feet--Would Cry Until Tired Out--8peedy Cure by Cuticura. "My baby was about *nlne months old when she had rash on her face and feet: Her feet seemed to Irritate her met, especially nights. They would cause her to be broken in her rest, and sometimes she would cry until she was tired out. I had heard of so many cures by the Cuticura Remedies that I thought I would give them a trial. The improvement was noticeable in a few hours, and before I had used one box of the Cuticura Ointment her feet were well and have never troubled her since. I also used it to remove what is known as 'cradle cap* from her head, and it worked like a charm, as it cleansed and healed the scalp at the same time.

An architect, says a writer, com­ plains that women frave a mania for closets and that when a woman is al­ lowed any liberty in the matter she changes his whole architectural plan in order to make room for them. This, he says, makes him a laughing stock among his fellow architects. This is very Interesting, but why do architects stations. The new discovery is being make plans if not to make every effort <vltrAti A fAof elAncr + llnAa ! it. - * . , , " . • . . given a test along the company's lines out of Bloomington. The apparatus consists of a number of tanks filled with a solution of water and chemicals deadly to weeds. The car is pulled along the..tracks and the fluid forced out through perforated pipes by means of a steam pump. It throws the fluid sufficiently far and the right-of-way may be well covered with the mixture while the train is traveling at the rate of ten or 12 miles an hour. R&adft Imrnune for Rebating. The immunity bath administered to the Chicago & Alton railroad in the rebate cases leads to the belief that similar immunity has been or •will be extended to other roads that have been involved with the Standard Oil company in illegal traffic agreements and hence there is a feeling of great security among the roads of Illinois. In this matter the whole force of .the government appears to be concen­ trated on the Standard Oil company, on the theory that it is the great of­ fender and that the railroads that have granted rebates to it have been compelled to do so by the overwhelm­ ing power of the giant trust. Deneen Commutes Sentence. Gov. Deneen, on recommendation of the state board of pardons, has com­ muted the sentence of Stephen Quinn, of Cook county, who is in Joliet for 18 years. The sentence is to expire at the end of nine years. Quinn and a man named Donohue held up a drug store in Chicago and after they had rifled the register Donohue killed the "proprietor. The sentence of Frank True ia commuted to expire on Au­ gust 15. themselves to secure conveniences? A house may be architecturally perfect and yet not fit to live in, and it certain­ ly is not if there is not closet room enough. Her Secret 8oitow. "That woman over there has some hidden sorrow," declared the sym­ pathetic one, as she came in and took her seat at a table not far away. "I have often noticed her. See. Her companion orders everything she could possibly want, and yet she sits there silent with a face like a mask. I am awfully sorry for her." "Don't you worry," advised her pes­ simistic friend. "That's her husband with her. She's bored, that's all." Cunning Chap. "Yes," confessed the blushing girl with the white parasol. "I thought it rather odd that Jack should keep on asking about our college yell. Finally, to get rid of him, I told him it was three yells in quick succession." "What then?" asked her chum. "What then? Why, the goose kissed me three times before I could re­ monstrate and when I gave a yell for each kiss mamma thought I was giv­ ing the class yell." WHAT'S THE USE?

First Cavalry Breaks Camp. When the order was given to break camp the First Illinois cavalry had spent the most profitable week in the history of the organization. But few of the men had been in the city during the stay at camp and ^t effr ning many of them were too tired to even ask permission. The officers of the regiment were received by Gov. and Mrs. Charles S. Deneen at the executive mansion. The cavalry band accompanied them and gave a concert on the lawn of the mansion grounds •V- IfigL* Fastcrs have gone without food for many days at a time but no^one can go without sleep. "For a long time I have not been sleeping well, often lying awake for two or three hours during the night but now I sleep sound every night and wake up refreshed and vig­ orous," says a Calif, woman. "Do you know, why? It's because I used to drink coffee but I finally cut it out and began using Postum. Twice since then I have drank coffee and both times I passed a sleepless night, and so I am doubly convinced coffee caused the trouble and Postum re­ moved It. ""My brother was in the habit of drinking coffee three times a day. He was troubled with sour stomach and I would often notice him getting soda from the can to relieve the distress in his stomach; lately hardly a day passed without a dose of soda for re­ lief. ("Finatly he tried a cap of Postum and iiked it so well he gave up coffee and since then has been drinking Postum In its place and says he has not once been troubled with sour stom­ ach." JSven after this lady's experience with coffee her brother did not suspect for a time that coffee was causing his soiir stomach, but easily proved it Qoffee is not suspected in thousands of cases just like this but it's easily proved. A ten day's trial works won- ders. "There's a Reason." Read the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkga.

"It takes the conceit out of them. Now there's John. He has a bald spot that he has spent about a hundred dollars on to no effect.

He Was Not to Blame. Little Bartholomew's mother over­ heard him swearing like a mule driver, says the Cleveland Leader. He displayed a fluency that overwhelmed her. She took him to task, explaining the wickedness of profanity as well as its vulgarity. She asked him where he had learned all those dreadful words. Bartholomew announced that Cavert, one of his playmates, had taught him. Cavert's mother was straightway informed and Cavert was brought to book. He vigorously de­ nied having instructed Bartholomew, and neither threats nor tears could make his confess." At last he burst out: "I didn't tell Bartholomew any cuss words. Why should I know how to cuss any better than he does? Hasn't his father got an automobile, too?" CHEAP IRRIGATED LAND. Grand opening Sept. 5th under Carey Act.
