U*^?> 156,16611 announced a high grade coin- ,p> mission to follow the trail of the dis­ ease which has stirred up the state Institution authorities and has badly scared the Illinois corn growers. The "golden corn" has been charged with responsibility for pellagra. This is the commission »a» given out at Springfield: Dr. Frank Billings, president state board of charities, Chicago. Dr. George W. Webster, president state board of health, Chicago. Dr. Howard T, Rieketts, University Of Chicago. i Dr. Oliver S. Ormsby, Chicago. Dr. H. Douglas Singer, Kankalte*. Dr. Harry Sands Grlndley, Univer­ sity of Illinois. r , Dr. W. J. McNeal, University of Illi­ nois; ' W- Dr. George W. Webster, who is at the head of the Illinois state board of health and a member of the investigat­ ing commission, said that the work is of far-reaching importance. "The state of Illinois must get At the trite situation immediately," said Dr. Webster, "and it is safe to say that this investigation will be pushed through as rapidly as possible. In the first place pellagra has tak­ en bold of the state institutions, nota­ bly ht the general hospital for the in­ sane at Bartonville, and at Kankakee and Elgin. It is reported from several other sections in the state not con­ nected whatever with state institu­ tions. "It is due to the people of the state generally, to the inmates of the state institutions and to their friends and relatives that prompt steps be taken by the state to ascertain the cause of the disease and to put a stop to |t. 'In the second place, it is of impor­ tant commercial consequence to the great corn-growing state of Illinois to ascertain the truth of the charge that spoiled corn is responsible in the first instance for the spread of pellagra. That charge has been made and will be thoroughly investigated by the com­ mission. In my judgment, the com­ mercial aspect of the question is of the utmost importance tp the state." The commission named by the gov­ ernor is the ttrst to seek the definite reason for the spread of pellagra, which heretofore seems to have been such a rarity as to have baffled the Illinois authorities when it was first noted in the Bartonville hospital. The state health authorities, in con­ nection with the state board of chari­ ties, has made a preliminary examina­ tion of conditions at Bartonville and bacteriologists are now "testing out" what was discovered on the first visit to the Institution. The results of these tests will be in readiness for the new commission when it meets some time next week for the purpose of organ­ izing and planning the course wf th» investigation. •V ; Tax Plea by Illinois Road*.' ); The woes of the tax-riddenrail­ roads occupied the attention of the I?7^m railroad committee of the state board of equalization. Representatives of several lines were present, all with pleas for reduced assessments- The burden of the argument was that the railroads pay more than their just proportion of tajfes. ' William R. Tarbel, tax agent of the Illinois Central; J. R. Dickinson, so- * licltor for the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul; E. J. Glennon, representing the Vanderbllt lines; F. D. Tracy, tax agent of the Chicago & Alton; J. M. Hamill, solicitor for the Louisville & Nashville; T. J. Newkirk, for the Rock Island, and C. B. Cole, president of the Wabash, Chester and Western, presented the condition of their lines. Oth'ert wiB be heard from day to • day. • - - s Tax Values Increase. The total assessed valuation of the town and city lots, improved and un­ improved farm lands and personal property In the state of Illinois, as re­ ported to the state board of equaliza­ tion by the local assessors through­ out-the state, is $1,139,292,406, an in­ crease over 1908 of $805,302,729. The change In the law making the •assessed valuation one-third - of the actual value, instead of one-fifth, as heretofore, would make a natural in­ crease of 66 2-3 per cent The iU- crease shown it much larger.

The increasing interest in mining in the state of Illinois is manifesting itself in several ways. Early in the year a mining rescue station was es­ tablished at the University of Illi­ nois. Since then, mine foremen, fire bosses, and others have spent from two davs to two weeks *t the station receiving instruction in mine rescue work from Mr. R. Y. Williams, min­ ing engineer of the United States geo­ logical survey. | Shortly after the es­ tablishment of the rescue station, the general assembly of the state author­ ized the establishment of a depart­ ment of mining engineering at the University of Illinois and made an ap­ propriation for its support. In fulr Ailment of this expressed desire of the legislature, the trustees of the univer­ sity recently appointed H. H. Stock, B. S., E. iM., to be professor of mining engineering in charge of the depart­ ment. This was done on recommenda­ tion of President James, who announ­ ced that the appointment of Prof. Stook was to be accepted as evidence of a determination on the part pf the trus­ tees to do for mining what has already been accomplished for the other branches of the industry, which are already represented by great depart­ ments of the college of engineering. Another important step in thW same direction has just been taken in the appointment by Gov. Deneen of a com­ mission to investigate mining condi­ tions in Illinois. Among the members of this commission are Dr. J. A. Holmes, United States geological sur­ vey, Washington, D. C., chairman, and Prof. Stock, who has Just arrived to take charge of his department at the University of Illinois. ~ . -v.;,- Leads in Saving Coal. Illinois starts tmmedttetetr ufitm4 a state policy of conserving its 240,090,- 000,000 tons of coal deposits. The state mining commission appointed by Gov. Deneen is committed to the task of taking the first step, in . safeguarding what is one of the state's greatest natural resources. The estimate of the amount of un- mined coal underlying Illinois soil is made by the United States geological survey and is intended to be a con­ servative figure. It shows that Illi­ nois is the first state in the union in the quantity of coal which is left. Illinois takes the initiative, It Is be­ lieved, in conserving its own natural resources and in making a definite step in co-ordinating with the ac­ cepted federal policy of national con­ servation. ^ j The commission named by Gov. De­ neen is accepted by commercial and mining Interests as a high grade body of men, and exceptional results are expected by the governor and by the public generally in the recom­ mendations which the commission will make to the next regular session of the general assembly. The com­ mission is expected to organize Im­ mediately and to proceed with the In­ vestigation before snow flies,,, f,x i .. • :• • . ' Certiorari Act Held Valid. t/' 1 , The new Billings certiorari iictj which was devised to head off unnec­ essary appeals to the supreme court, was declared constitutional by the su­ preme bench at Springfield. The new law provides two w*ys of taking a case from the appellate court to the supreme tribunal. First, on pe­ tition a majority of the appellate bench may by certification allow an appeal: second, the supreme court by writ of certiorari instead of writ of error, unless new points are involved, may review any judgment, but only as to law. The supreme bench may pass upon petitions for writs of cer­ tiorari in ex parte hearing, and in cases that are not allowed the bench does not need to write opinions, thus saving time and the preparation and publication of unnecessary opinions. The new law places the practice in re­ gard to appeals to the state supreme court on the same basis as that in vogue In the federal courts In ap­ pealing to the united States supreme court. The law was declared constitution- STATE HAPPENINGS Galena. -- After carrying the mail over an eight-mile route since 1881 for the salary of one cent a year the carrier has lost his job. It was not from any neglect of duty that this em­ ploye of the government was severed from the pay roll. The post office de­ partment has de&ded to discontinue star route No. 39,125, between Bodge- ville and Mineral Point. This line of eight miles was a remnafat of the old route established between Milwaukee and Galena in 1835. It was reduced to eight miles in 1881^ The carrier has been offered as high as $20 for his government order paying him his yearly stipend, but has thus fir re­ sisted the Bouvenir hunters. Joliet.--Warden E. J. Murphy of 'the state penitentiary takes exceptions to the statements of State's Attorney Wayman that th'e parole law works a great injustice and is universally hated by convicts. Neither does Warden Murphy believe that the habeas corpus proceeding recently In­ stituted in the state supreme court to secure the release of Convict Joseph Joyce will result in a practical an­ nulment of the law. "The convict who enters the portals of the state penitentiary has something to hope for. Hope is the great inspiration that" sways the universe. I do not think that any man or woman should be deprived of it." Chicago.--Chicago churches to the Slumber of 150, which have voted In the Antf-Saloon league's referendum, have declared almost unanimously to make a fight next spring to vote the city "dry." Supt. James K. Shields of the Illinois Anti-Saloon league said he was sending out letters to the churches which had failed to vote, in order to get as large a percentage of answers as possible to lay before the committee which will decide whether to make the fight, Chicago.--Bibulous policemen who "take a friendly drink" with saloon­ keepers while on duty or indulge In carouses after their day's work is done, are to be ousted from the force without mercy. In an order issued re­ cently Chief Steward says; "That there may be no misunderstanding, It is definitely announced that mem­ bers of this department found guilty of either intoxication or drinking on duty may expect a recommendation for their separation from the service in each case, and if separated no rein­ statement.'^ Harrisburg. -- William 8mit|t was found guilty of manslaughter "here after the jury had deliberated all night.

She says: "He employed more than one device to secure wakefulness on the part of his weary congregation. Standing during the prayer was but one of many. My grandfather used to tell us with pride of an instance which oc­ curred at a time when a new church edifice had been proposed, and was under warm discussion.
