JOHN IICNPY ON TITLEO FOIinONERS BY GEO. V. HO BART, ("HUGH M'HUGH.") Dear Bunch: Your letter from Ven- lc« is at hand, and we are glad, indeed, to hear from you. I hope you won't fall in the canal while in Venice. No doubt your early education on the Erie will be of great help to you--get ap! I notice from your letter that you've been hob-nobbing with nobility over there--careless Bunch! We got 'em over here. Bunch, by the gross, so you haven't anything on us. I went in to the Waldorf to meet UHcle Peter one evening last week, and I found him entertaining a Ger­ man nobleman--the Cotmt Cheese von Cheese. Tne count is traveling in this coun­ try incognito. Z4- If it were my country he couldn't travel in a cage. I'm wise to those guys with the Ctorgonzola title all wrapped up. In'tis- "Entertaining a German Nobleman." sue paper and only eight dollars in their jeans. Count Cheese von Cheese was in­ troduced to me by Uncle Peter as plain Herr Bungstarter, and ^then uncle whispered me next to the real truth about the incognito gag. Uncle Peter certainly does make both ends meet in the lemon industry. He is the original onion collector, and he spends his waking moments falling for dead ones. I was on to Count Cheese von Cheese the moment he opened his talk trap. That mifT is over here to pick out an heiress and fall in love with her because he needs the money. Every steamer brings them over, Bunch, some incognito, some in dress suits, and some in hoc signo vinces, but all of them able to pick out a lady with a bank account at 50 paces. It's getting so now, Bunch, that an open-face, stem-winding American has to kick four dukes, eight earls, seven counts, and a couple of princes «ff the front steps every time he goes to call on his sweetheart--if she has money. When I go down into Wall street, Bunch, I find rich men with tears streaming down their faces while they are calling up on the telephone to see If their daughter, Gladys, is still safe at home, where they left her before they came down to business. Walk through a peachy palace of the rich on Fifth avenue, and what will you find? Answer: You will find a proud moth­ er bowed with a great grief, and hold­ ing on to a rope which is tied to her daughter's ankle to prevent the lat­ ter from running out on the front piazza and throwing kisses at the titled foreigners. You will find these cheap skates everywhere, Bunch, rushing hither and thither, and sniffing the air for the odor of burning money. Why should it be thus, Bunch? We have laws in this country to protect the birds and the trees, the "Read the StariUixj News." squirrels and all animals except those that can be reached by an automo­ bile, but why don't we have a law to protect the heiresses? Why are these titled slobs permit­ ted to borrow car fare, and come over here and give this fair land a fit of indigestion? Why are they permitted to set their proud and large feet on the soil for which our forefathers fought and bled for their country, and for which some of us are still fighting and bleeding (the country? Why? Why do these fat-heads come over here with a silver cigarette case and a society directory and make every rich man^in the country fasten a bur­ glar alarm to his check book? Find out, Bunch. ! A few days ago one of these mutts with an Edam title jumped off an ocean liner, and Immediately the pridfe of padlocks rose to the highest point ever known on the stock exchange, j All over the country rich men with romantic daughters rushed to and fro and then rushed back again. They were up against a crisis. If you could get near enough to the long-distance telephone, Bunch, you could hear one rich old American guy shrieking the battle-cry to another cap­ tain of industry out in Indianapolis: '"To arms! The foe! The foe! He comes with nothing but his full-dress •alt and a blank marriage license! To arms! To arms!*' The telegraph wires are also sis- with excitement. Dispatches which would make your blood curdle with anguish and sorrow for the rich are flying all over the country. Something like this: "Boston, To-day: At 10:30 this morning Rudolph Oscar Grabbitall, the millionaire stone-breaker, read the startling news that a foreign count had just landed in New York. His suffering was pathetic. His daughter, Gasolene Panatella, who will^ inherit $19,000,000, mostly in bonds, stocks and newspaper talk, was in the dental parlor five blocks away from home when the blow feU. Calling his house­ hold about him, Mr. Grabbitall rushed into the dental parlor, beat the dent­ ist down with his bill, dragged Gaso­ lene Panatella home and locked her up in the rear cupboard of the spare room on the second floor of his man­ sion. Her teeth suffered somewhat, but, thank heaven! hef money will re­ main in this country. The commu­ nity breathes easier, but all the in­ coming trains are being watched." Are you wise, Bunch, to what the pan-handling nobility of Europe are doing in our dear United States? They are putting all our million­ aires on the fritz, that's what they're doing. it will soon come to pass that the heiress will have to be locked up In the safe deposit vaults with papa's bank book. Here is an item from one of our most prominent newspapers. Read it, Bunch, and then rush out and take a running kick at the first nobleman you see: • "Long Island City, Now.--Pinchem 9 P P.B.P qjLtt9 g99 9 9,9.9.0 o o o o o o« aO.OJJUJU? g qj-g.g.fiSJUJ? 9*.9.9.9.9 State Capital News ^ Breezy Gossip, Notes and Doings of Interest at Springfield. °S'fl'B'a"ir5"fl"a'a~a'6'a a"o'o"a'a^ o a a a s gTgTa~o"o'o"o'o o o o'aTflTo'fl mnnnnnnf Springfield.--Beneficial showers in various parts of the state were report­ ed to the Illinois section of the elimato- logical service of the United States department of agriculture. In the weekly bulletin Clarence J. Root, act­ ing section director, summarizes con­ ditions as follows: "The first half of the week was cool, but it ended warm Minimum temperatures, in the forties In the northern district, and in the fifties in the central and southern dis­ tricts, obtained on the first three days. The average temperature was two de­ grees above the normal. The ex­ tremes were 97 degrees and 47 de­ grees. Showers occurred- at most sta­ tions in the northern and central counties. They were very beneficial and at many places the drought was relieved. More than an inch of rain fell at a few stations. These showers were practically the only precipitation during the week. No rain of conse­ quence fell in the southern district, and the drought is becoming serious. There was an abundance of sunshine, the average being about 85 per cent, of the possible." "The Heiress Will Have to Be .Locked Up." Shortface, the millionaire who made a fortune by inventing a way to open clams by steam, has determined that no foreign count will marry hs daugh­ ter, Sudsetta. She will inherit about $193,000,000, about $18 of which is loose enough to spend. The unhappy father is building a spite fence around his mansion, which will be about 22 feet high, and all the unmarried mil­ lionaires without daughters, to speak of, will contribute champagne bottles to put on top of the fence. If the count gets Sudsetta he is more of a sparrow than her father thinks he is." It's pitiful. Bunch; that's what It is, pitiful! All over the country rich men are dropping their beloved daughters In the cyclone cellars and hiding mamma's stocking with the money in it out in the hay loft. I am glad. Bunch, that I am not a rich man with a daughter who is eat­ ing her heart out for a moth-covered title and a castle on the Rhinewipe. You can bet, Bunch, that no daugh­ ter of mine can ever marry a tall gent with a nose like a quarter past six and a knowledge of the English lan­ guage which doesn't get beyond I. O. U. Talk to the nobility you have been hobnobbing with, Bunch, and see if you can reform them. Yours in hope, JOHN. (Copyright, 190S, by G. W. Dillingham Co.) A Strange Will. A law case with strangely dramatic adjuncts was lately before the su­ perior court of St. Petersburg. The odd circumstances leading to the legal proceedings were as follows: One of the wealthiest land owners near Smolensk died not long ago, and after the funeral the heirs looked vainly for the will, but without suc­ cess. A few days later, a young man, see­ ing a graphophone on a table in the dead man's library, put into it a record which he supposed was that of a popu­ lar Russian song. To his amazement and terror, instead of a song he heard the voice of the dead man recite the words of the missing will. The heirs were notified of the dis­ covery, lawyers were summoned, and they lost no time in examining the record containing the will. It was found to be flawless, and the question then arose whether a will left on a graphophone cylinder would be deemed valid by the courts. It is, therefore, on this unique point that the superior court must render its decision.--Sunday Magazine. Sneeze Cause for Divorce. Mrs. John Buckles of Denver is af­ ter a divorce because her husband sneezes. It makes her nervous and the baby nervous, and even the neigh­ bors get fidgety and talk when John wakes up in the middle of the night with a rousing old "Ho-rash-shoo!" That's the way Mrs. Buckles described it to the attorney she applied to. John uses snufT and when he awakened he would take a pinch of snuff and then lie in bed, hump his back and hora- shoo 50 times ^or more. It would shake the bed and knock all the covers off and the baby would set up a yell, an4 Mrs. Buckles just got distracted. The attorney told her that perhaps John could not help it, but the lady in­ sisted she wouldn't live with the bora- shoo man. She went off declaring she would think up some more bad habits of John's if sneezing wasn't fit cause tor action.--Minneapolis Journal. Areola Company Quits. Adjt. Gen. Scott entered an order for the muster out of the Illinois Na tional Guard of Company A, Fourth in­ fantry of . Areola. Capt. David Davis of the Fourth infantry will wind up the affairs of the military command, and issue honorable discharges to the militiamen. The public property of the company will be shipped to Spring­ field and stored in the state arsenal. The muster out of the command fol­ lows recommendations made by the commanding officer. The company is considered inefficient in drills, and a majority of the members have failed to give proper attention to regular practice. Upon recommendation of the commanding officer of the First in­ fantry, Capt. Frederick W. Lass, quar­ termaster i of the Second infantry, is detailed to duty with the First regi­ ment, as actijig commissary. The regi mental commissaries of the First, Fourth and Eighth infantries, Illinois National Guard, are directed to pro­ ceed to Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ind., to aid in the work that is to be done during the encampment at the bar­ racks. An electfon is ordered in the Illinois Naval Reserves Saturday September 26, for lieutenant com mander. Capt. W. F. Purdy will pre­ side. Humphrey Holds Whisky Decision. The decision of Judge Humphrey as to whether only aged whisky is gen­ uine and whether a distiller must label all other products imitations, is to be made soon. The hearing of argu­ ments in the case was concluded and Judge Humphrey has taken the mat­ ter under advisement. The case, when decided, will be a precedent for like litigation in this state. Woolner & Co., Clarke & Co., and Corning & Co., distillers from Peoria, claim that P J. Rennick, internal revenue collector, has given them orders that they must label all their spirits frumenti, which has not reached a certain age as imi­ tation goods. The complainants are seeking to enjoin the federal officer from carrying out his order. They base their claim on custom, and upon an act of congress in which it Is pro­ vided that all goods must be labeled by their proper names. Project Many Trolley Lines. The Electric Traction Weekly prints a list of 53 new electric railway pro­ jects in Illinois. Most if not all of these have been mentioned in one way or another in the daily papers when the company was organized or when­ ever some other important move was . made, but when they are all compiled in one list it makes a formidable show­ ing. Some of the projected lines will never be built while a number of oth­ ers will be. Ten of the lines are Mc- Kinley projects and doubtless there is a serious purpose on the part of the McKinley people to build all of these. Others are important links which will connect lines already in operation and these are certain to be built sooner or later. In most cases the amount for which the companies were capital­ ized signifies that the organization was only tentative. Baptists at Work. The seventy-first annual meeting of the Springfield Baptists' association i was held with a pastors' conference at ! the South Seventh street Baptist | church. In attendance were members | from Pana, Decatur, Shelbyville. Au­ burn, Divernon, Stonington. New Ber- ' lln, Assumption and other towns. After j the .sermon by Rev. N. O. Patterson of I Stonington a discussion and business | session followed. The annual meet- | ing of the Woman's Missionary so- ciety of the district was held. Is Registering Bonds. State Auditor of Public Accounts McCullough completed the registra­ tion of $712,500 of East St. Louis re­ funding bonds. The bonds, which were purchased by a trust company of St. Louis, bear four and one-half per cent. Interest, and were sold at a premium of over $13,000. The registration is the largest handled by the state de­ partment since the famous issue of over a million dollars by Macoupin county, for the construction of the Jxistorlc court house at Carlinville. Farmers Pay $10,000 for Elevator. Divernon.--The Divernon Grain, company, owned by farmers, have pur­ chased Twist Bros.' elevator for $10,000. The Officers of the new com­ pany are: President, J. P. Burt, vice- president, George Vettel; secretary- treasurer, C. M. Patton. Mutof Found Guilty. Carlinville.--James Mutof, a St. Louis Greek, was found guilty of ab­ ducting 15-year-old Nellie Landers of Bunker Hill and bound over to the grand jury. Much Expected of New Roadway. "If this road comes up to our ex­ pectations, Illinois farmers will soon have -the best countr> driveways in all of the states." A. N. Johnson, engineer for the state highway commi^on. thus re­ ferred to the new asphalt oil road now in progress of construction from the turn of the street railway track at South Grand boulevan! and Washing­ ton park around to the mini Country Club in Springfield. The road is a novelty in this section of the country. There is nothing else like it this side of> California, where the roads are made by sprinkling crude oil, several times a year over the surface of the driveway. The "Country club road." as it has come to be called here, is wholly different. Mr. Johnson said: "We are mixings-be soil with asphalt oil and using a solution six inches deep for this roadway. Of course it is only an experiment as yet, but I believe it will make srood. We are mixing the oil with the yellow soil of this vicinity just now. but other ex­ periments are under headway. For instance, over in Bement. Piatt county, they have the pure black earth. Else­ where gravel prevails and in both ' places we are mixing the asphalt oil I with these elements to learn which is ! the better adapted for the compound. ] What is asphalt oil? I must give up I that question for the present. We ! will have it analyzed by a chemist and ! learn its ingredients. This asphalt oil road," Mr. Johnson went on to say, "is far cheaper than macadam. While the latter will cost $4,000 a mile, as­ phalt oil can be put in for from $1,500 to $2,000 a mile. The road under construction at the Country club in­ cludes three-quarters of a mile, more than half of which Is now finished. It passes through the Leland farm, the Wiggins estate and the Country club's property. All of the property owners are enthusiastic over the prospects of the job." Final Report of Grand Jury. The special grand jury called to probe the recent ra<!e war adjourned after returning 17 more indictments. This piakes a total of 117 during the session. Among the indictments re­ turned Thursday were those against four Springfield policemen, Oscar Dahlkamp, Joseph Ferendez, George H. Ohlnian and George W. Dawson. They are indicted for alleged failure to suppress the riot when detailed for that duty. Sheriff Warner, Chief of Police Wilbur Morris, Capt. Charles Walsh of troop D., Springfield, and other officers are commended by the grand jury. The report condemns al­ leged "cowards" among the officials, and says: "After the most diligent inquiry we condemn in unmeasured terms the cowardly, contemptuous ac­ tion of those members of the police force who. having taken the oath of office, failed to do their duty." Physicians Recommend Castoria * ASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharma- ' ceuticai societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably tha result of three facts: /«**--'The indisputable evidence that it is harmlessS SecondThat it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimi­ lates the food S ThM--It is an agreeable and perfoct substitute for Castor OH. It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's. Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how­ ever, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children' through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system--not by stupefying it--and our readers are entitled to. tThe informationr-HaU's Journal of Health, Letters from Prominent Physicians addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher. Dr, B. Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ills., says: "I have prescribed yotlfl Cestoria often for infants during my practice, and find it very satisfactory." Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "Your CastorU standa first in its/class, In my thirty years of practice I can say I never h&va found anything that So filled the place.'* Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used yottr Castoria and found It an excellent remedy In my household and private practice foe many years. The formula is excellent." Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: "I prescribe your Castoria extensively, as I have never found anything to equal It for children's troubles. I am aware that there are Imitations in the field, but I always Bee that my patients get Fletcher's." Dr.Wm. J McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thirteen children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Cas­ toria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home." Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that your Caa* toria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorse­ ment of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy." Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary preparations, but In the case of Castoria my experi­ ence, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an ex­ ception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found It to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints.
