I’lniliac. III.. June 1!. Itn'S. To the |loaoraIde Board of Supervis­

of a memorial op the life, services and ciiaracti r of the hue Nelson .1 Vytr. a mouther fir many years of this hoard and fop a -Luo its chairman, would r» - peetfuIJy submit tlie follow me:

Nelson J Myor, whose sud h n r - moral from our midst caused deep sorrow not nnlj to his family but to the people of the whole county. Is on* "hose death is .greatly to tie deplored. He was a man whoso Christian char­acter was worthy of emulation and one whose worth to his fellinvni* n cannot he measured. He was a man among men and vet sttolt a one as al­ways commando^ the highest respect of all. Tender hearted, yet firm, scrupulously honest, a friend who never failed, untiring in industry and fidelity to any trust iinpos* d. a mind singularly filled with wisdom and pru­dence, he was a man whose judgment was sought and whose counsels were regarded In every walk of life, public and private.

Nelson J Myor was horn July 3<>, 1851, in Eppards Point township, and died in the same town on May 12. 1908 He was the youngest son of the into Judge Eli Myer, who settled in that town in an early day and whose name is honored and whoso worthy life and example made an im­press for good upon his family and community which has never been ef­faced. The son. Nelson, grew to man­hood on his father’s farm and spent his whole life in his native town—an unusual circumstance in these mod­ern days. He obtained a good educa­tion at the country school near his home, gained tlie confidence and es teem of Ills neighbors and these he retained throughout his whole life.

In 1872 he was elected collector of his town. Lp 1875 justice of the peace and In 1880 supervisor, anil in (hat capacity served his town for twelve and a half years, with the exception of one year. In 18S9 he wns elected to tho general assembly of Illinois ns a representative in tho legislature from the Eighteenth Senatorial District, then comprising Livingston and Ford counties. Upon tho expiration of his first terra he was re-elected for a sec­ond term. In the legislature he took prominent rank, and was chairman of a number of Important committees and aided materially In placing upon

the stafu'e hooks wholesome laws In 1895 he was elected chairman of theLivingston county board of stipends ors and in the same year resigned to accept the super■Intendency of the county house and farm, which posit’on he so ably filled continuously to the time of hig death.

Mr. Myer look charge of the posi­tion at the time when the new build­ings were ill process of construction and he was practically the guiding spirit In getting the house In readi­ness. installing the machinery, plan­ning the arrangement throughout the entire institution, both at that time amt since—a task which he has so satisfactorily performed. In his con­trol of this list tuition. Hie county had a superintendent singularly efficient and faithful and the luuiates of th- home have been a unit in declaiing their appreciation of Ills care for their comforts and enjoyment which always seemed to be his first consid eraticn in dealing with them.

In view of the great loss to the peo­ple of tiiis countv of ,o valuid a pub­lic servant and the institution so cap- aide a superintendent, be it now

Resolved, that this board by this memorial express its regard for the meiiu.ry if tin* deceased; that the s: me lu* s: r> *d upon the records of he* pn c. dings and that a copy of

tin San.i* .-igu**d by the chairman and attested by the clerk lie* sent to t(ie t.imil•- of ’he* l ceased, to whom also the siiioer" .-empathies of this hoard in their gtvat i . eavenient are extend- . d

re r s i ty gronnds, which need a special section in th is review of the th ings we saw. The people o f Il linois should all s .e this g rea t un iversity as we saw it , and wake up to the fac t th a t it is the irs —that they are suppor ting it and are responsible for the con tinua tion of i ts wonderful development.

L eaving the un iversity grounds we passed into the c ity of U rbana. Only an im aginary lino sep a ra te s the two cities, and a s t ran g e r does not know when he passes from one to the other . U rbana is the county seat of C ham ­paign county, and the cour t house, ja i l , and sh er iff 's residence are in keeping with the o th e r tine public buildings a lready described.

One th ing which deserves more th an passing notice is the rest room in tTiam- paign, m ain ta in ed by the Chamber of Commerce fo r the en te r ta in m en t and comfort o f those who t rad e here. P eo­ple from ad jo in ing tow ns have a place to rest, to lie down, w rite letters, te le ­phone, check packages, and meet one ano ther while they are in Champaign shopping. B e t te r thea t r ica l companies, s ingers and musical o rgan iza tions come to C hampaign than is usual in a town th a t has a population of only I5,0d0.

Miss Mary Davidson in responding to the address of welcome for the associa­tion, thanked the Chamber of Com­merce and the people of Champaign for the heartiness of their welcome and pre­dicted thr.*, the members would all "njoy themrelves in every way and go home with new ideas of the city ati Champaign and the University of Illi­nois.

Through the Towns by Automobile.One of the most enjoyable features

of the meeting was the automobile ride through Champaign and Urbana and tho University of Illinois. The ride took us past the new High School, the new government building, the Burnham hos­pital, the Burnham athenaeum, which is the city library, and White Bark. Around the park are many beautiful homes—in fact Champaign should be called a city of beautiful homes. The Champaign Country Club lies to the southwest of the city and tho drive is made between rows of magnificent trees. The churches of Champaign desorvo more than passing mention. The First Methodist church bss just been com­pleted at a cost of $100,000. The ban­quet given to our association took place in the dining hall of this church.

At the west entrance to the univer­sity grounds we saw the new Univer­sity Y. M. C. A. building which has just been comrl°ted at a cost of $100,000. We passed through the unl-

Many Auxiliary Interests.Besides the great organization whose

business is the instruction of students, there are numerous auxiliary organiza­tions helping to carry on the important work of the state. The Agricultural Experiment Station, the Engineering Experiment Station, the State Ento­mologist’s Office, the State Laboratory of Natural History, the State Geologi­cal Survey, and the State Water Survey all do their work at the university, and are closely connected with its ac­tivities.State University Has 4,743 Students.

The attendance at the University of Illinois has this year reached 4,743, which places it fifth in the universities of the United States. This great gath­ering of students has come very largely in the last ten or twelve years. How rapidly the numbers have Increased is shown by the following table:

Tl.e G rad u a te School.The graduate school is the highest de­

portment o f the university, supplement ing the instrmtioii offered in the under- graduate schools and colleges. It fu r ..i-hes opportunities for tha t investiga live work which is absolutely essential to the development of the university in the true sense of Hie term. It gives a chance ;i> men and women who may be niter ested in advancing the sum total of human know ledge by new discoveries in the various departments of science to prepare* themselves by special tra in ing for this sort of work. It is the only department in which the teachers in our high schools ami colleges can get that advanced preparation for their work which it is desirable they should have.

The building up o f g raduate school work is expensive, and it was necessary to ask for special appropriation for the purpose at the last session o f the Legis­lature. This request had been made o f the preceding legislature, but was not granted. Wlien presented at the last session, however, the m atte r was well re ­ceived and carefully considered. Gov­ernor Deneen supported the project in his message and the legislature made an np propriation of $50,000 a year for the purpose.

Tho graduate school is making itself felt in the upbuilding of the educational system of the state, and the research work which is boing carried on in con­nection with it will more than repay, even from the view point of money considera­tions alone, all that is put into it. The graduate school is trying to get into closer relations with the smaller colleges of the state. The relations between them and the university are of a very friendly nature, and are becoming those »f practical co-operation. As the de- nand for more and higher education {rows, the state university will be called ou to offer more and more work of a graduate grade and will have to rely to a greater extent than now upon the col­leges throughout the stnte to give students the college training of an un- dor-graduate grade. Tho interests of the'university and tho colleges are conse­quently in every way mutual interest*. Keeping Illinois a Great Agricultural

their utmost aud we have only begun to relaixo what our soil may produce if properly handled; although it is a start­ling fact that within the brief period of a single lifetime the soils of Illi­nois have notably failed in their fertil­ity, so wasteful have been our methods.

Specifically the business of the col­lege is to offer and conduct instruction in all the various liues of agriculture which are especially strong iu Illinois. Something over eighty different courses are offered in soils and crops, in animal husbandry, dairy husbandry, horticul­ture, veterinary science and household science. No fewer than thirty five teach­ers are employed, and we have oil) students and specialists in both col logo and station.

The growth on the station side has been equal to that o f the college; indeed it 1ms gone fa r toward making the work o f the college possible. Of the money available for all purposes a litt le mors Ilian h a lf goes into experiments. Many of these experiments are carried on under the very eyes of the students, who thus have the means of gett ing into the clos­est touch with the newest phases ot agii-

The Visit to Urban*.Urbana, through the courtesy of its

Commercial (Tub aud the Elks, enter­tained the Brass Association at lunch­eon in the Elk rooms at 1:30 o ’clock Wednesday. The visitors were mot at the university, after a part of the visit to that institution had been completed, by a committee of the Commercial Club, which included Mr. L. A. McLean, formerly president of the association. The men were conducted to tho Elk rooms, and the ladies were taken to luncheon by Mrs. 8. T. Busey, member of the university board of trustees. At the Elk rooms the members of the as­sociation were given a very enjoyable luncheon bv the Commercial Club, and several toas ts were responded to, as in­dicated by the program previously men­tioned.

It is expected that the experiment station will prove helpful to the manu­facturing and building interests. Tt will supply accurate data regarding tho properties of tho materials used in en­gineering structures and buildings. Tho reinforced concrete tests now in prog ress sliow great possibilities. A series of tests on east iron columns and on various forms of steel and iron mem­bers is contemplated. The manufactur­ing processes will bo investigatod and problems rotating to dosign and con­struction will be studied. Fuel supply is nf such prime importance in our in­dustrial development that no effort will be spared in the introduction and pro­mulgation of improved methods and processes in the mining, preparation and consumption of coal.

Along the line of power production there is opportunity for much investiga­tion. New problems are confronting both the builders and users of steam and gas motors, especially in the steam tur­bine and gas engines of Inrge power. Still newer types of motors are being proposed, the gas turbine being one attractive possibility.

That the work of the station is meet­ing with the approval of manufacturers and engineers is evidenced by the num­erous requests that have come in from various industries asking for tests of th*ir material* and information eon-1 walks! its business .

Urbana ’» system of public schools is exceptionally good and public educa­tional advantages of the city have brought many families, especially those who are preparing their children for the university. Forty-one teachers are em­ployed and there are 300 pupils enrolled in the grades and 236 in the high school. Annually $28,000 is oxpended to maintain these schools.

The schools and the university com­bine to make Urbana especially desira­ble as a residence city. Well paved and heavily shaded streets, and an unusually large proportion of fine residences, give the whole citv a tone of wealth and dignified stability.

Among many other things of which Urbana is proud are its fire department, aonsisting of 12 members; its septic sewage tank, the first ever used for this purpose; its street cars and its Intorurbnns; its city water works, fur­nishing water that hug been tested and found pure; its annual Chautauqua, lasting ten days each year, at Crystal Lake park; its new W.

The following petition of G. W. Whitson for rebate of tax was by the chair referred to the committee on er­rors and abatements:

The undersigned, G. W. Whitson, respectfully petitions the Honorable Board of Supervisors of Livingston County, Illinois, for a rebate of taxes to the amount of twenty-eight dollars and seventeen oents ($28.17), said sunt being In excess of what the taxes should have been. Affiant says that the Board of Review of Livingston County while In session In Odell dur­ing the summer of 1907 placed a valu­ation of slxty-one hundred ($0 ,1 0 0 ) dol­lars on the n. 10 2-10 ft of lot 20 and w •12 ft. of parts of lots 19 and 20 and all of 21. in block 9, Odell. Illinois, one- fifth of which would have been $1 ,220 equalized value, but that the clerk of said Board of Review by mistake car­ried out the equalized value as $1,525, or one-fourth of the assessed value, and the difference of $305.00 In equal­ized valuation makes an excess tax of $28 17, as herein claimed.

Affiant further says tha t on March 14th, 1908, he paid to the Odell town­ship tax collector the sum of $115.61. which, had the error not have been made, would have been $87.44, or $28.17 less than he did pay. Affiant therefore petitions this Honorable Board for said rebate tyid attaches hereto the tax receipt showing sum paid and further states that the tax records In the county clerk’s office of Livingston County, III., will verify the statements herein made.

Be it resolved that the Board of Su­pervisors of Rock Island county in session assembled hereby petition the Legislature of the state of Illinois to provide by law some relief whereby more taxes ean be raised for general county purposes, and

Be it further resolved that other counties in the same condition be ask­ed to co-operate in the attempt to bring about this relief and that the clerk ol this board be directed to send a copy of this resolution to each coun­ty clerk in the state with the request that it be submitted to the county board of said counties.

Petition for Rebate of Tax.The following petition of P. J. C.

McLellan for rebate of tax was by the chair referred to the committee on Errors and Abatements:

Pontiac, 111., June 8th, 1908. To the Honorable Board of Supervis­

ors of Livingston County: Gentlemen:—This Is to certify that

I am the owner of lot 1 2 in block 2, Manlove’a Add. to the city of Pontiac and that It Is a vacant iot now and has been since I have been the owm of it which has been about six years and that by some means Assessor Joe S. Reed made a mistake and assessed a house on this lot to the value of $900. He also assessed the lot at $300 which Is the right assessment for the lo t I am therefore assessed $900 more than I should be, which would amount to $12.69 and kindly ask you to return the snme to me.

arrangements with E. A. Agard, at- t< r!n>> fur tiie administrator of this • ■siai*', t*> file peiition to sell real es­tate to pay this claim, and on sale of the pioperty this claim "il l be paid in full to the county.

In the case of the county of Liv­ingston vs. Charles H Hoke and his bondsmen. 1 beg leave to report that the attorney for Mr. Hoke has prom­ised to meet the committee appointed at your last meeting and see if some compromise can not be effected rela­tive to the above suit, and no doubt the committee and my successor can arrange the matter during the pres­ent session of Uie board. As stated in my last report, I have filed all nec­essary papers in the circuit court in this suit, and the cause is at issue and ready for trial as soon as a hear­ing can be had.

I*ast year a t the beginning of my term I found twelve objectors who had filed objections in the county court to the sale of their property for delinquent taxes. This year I find seven objectors which should receive the attention of my successor. I have prepared briefs In each one of these cases which are at the disposal of my successor if he so desires. Some of the objections filed by the railroad companies are in all probabilities val­id objections.

Objections are made to the appro­priations by the villages where they have appropriated miscellaneous anil contingent funds. The same is true in reference to the township taxes of Sullivan township, Chaiswcrth town­ship, Forrest township, Saunemln township, Pontiac township and Ne­braska township where a part of the appropriations were made under the head of other claims and charges against the town "audited and to be audited” and under the head of "con­tingent expenses”.

Bach township as well-as the vil­lages should be careful to exclude thla Indefinite way of miking approprl*.tlons.

\HON. WILLIAM H. TAFT.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

He assured the convention that under Fairbanks there would be no “government by Impulse," and the crowd knew what he was driving at, and his usefulness as an orator was ended.

New York has a sense of humor, and when the delegation was called for New York the delegates rose laughing and let Oen. Woodford make the shortest and most appropriate speech of the day, lominatlng Hughes. And when he said that only two men beyond a doubt could carry New York —one being In the White House and the other In the governor's oltlce at Albany—he made the crowd restive and quit Just before Ills credit gave out.

The Clarion Note.The only real clarion note of the

convention was sounded by Knight of California, seconding Taft’s nom­ination. For Knight has a voice, and Mr. Burton of Ohio, who put Taft's name before the convention grace­fully, was not heard as well as such a speaker should have been heard. Knok also was tastefully nominated— with proper eclat and without too much wind Jamming.

And If the young football player, Cochem of Wisconsin, who gave the convention La Follette's name, had cut his speech In two, It would have made the lilt of the afternoon. But ha slid past the crowd's limit, and the smile which captivated every one wore off and he grew angry, and "the subsequent proceedings interested him no more."

It was Mr. McGee—remember the name—who. seconding the nomination of La Follette, started the whoop heard round the world. There seems to be no question that of all the can­didates besides Taft, La Follette got the best demonstration.

But after that complications oc­curred. Some one walked across the gallery back of the speaker's platform with a flag containing Roosevelt’s pic-

•at. The visitors in the gal'erlcsare there only to see the hero crowned, and once the ceremony Is over, and the shouting has worn itself out, their laterest In the convention rapidly dies away—the show is over.

Thursday was a hot day, and the perspiration that the thousands shed would have floated all four of the preF Kent's battleships, and the real Iron ble of the convention—In a day of trouble—began after the Invocation had been spoken, after Senator Hop- klaa had given a visible demonstra­tion of the platform, which no one hoard and no one seemed to care to hoar, and after Congressman Cooper, on behalf of the minority of the com­mittee on resolutions, began scolding the convention.

His speech, of course, did not con­vince It was a protest, rather than aa argument, and anyway the conven tton would not have changed that platform, which it believed to be In spired from Washington. If the minor ftjr had offered tho Ten Command meats. But r ’ oper scolded, and when the authorized representative from th* railroad engineers and firemen and trainmen appeared and warned the naavahtlon that the railroad employes iot the oountry were dissatisfied with

It was under orders, and nothing could move It. So It moved majestically along. It adopted tho platform, for­mally voting down, by overwhelming majorities, planks advocating pub­licity In campaign contributions recommended by the president in his messages. valuation of railroads, recommended by the president In his messages, and the election of senators by the people.

A Roosevelt Convention.For that convention was for Roose­

velt policies only when it had them in the regular order and the authen­ticated form The Roosevelt policies as such, did not Interest tho conven­tion. for it was under orders and took only the real milk of the word as It came through the committee, and it believed, and probably with sortie Jus­tification, In the fact that Roosevelt did not care to have his policies come into the convention by way of Wis­consin

So it voted for the program and went on to the next order. And the next order was the nomination of a president. And that is a serious busi­ness.

It Is curious to know Just how forms and conventions and precedents are worshi] ed without sense or reason by apparintly clear-headed men. But there sat 1,000 delegates and 10.000 spectators and listened to flvo mortal hours of utterly useless, entirely mean­ingless and absolutely vacuous speeches. These speeches were made putting men In nomination for the presidency who had no more chance to he nominated than they had of pick­ing out a harp check and Joining the

The crowd stood for him with some patience, though no one listened to him.

] ture. and the applause for La Follettei merged Into the futile, stupid attempt

to stampede the crowd to Roosevelt, and for a quarter of an hour the yelling continued.

It was quieted as the roll call on president began and continued down to Iowa. There a silence foil, and con­tinued until Taft was nominated.

Now written down here in a thou­sand words, this seems like the story of a stirring episode. Yet It covers events that lasted from 10 o'clock until 5:30. There was some formal cheering of something like two and six elevenths seconds for each of the allies, and this Is the best part of it all—those who had sought the nom­ination the hardest. Cannon and Knox and Fairbanks, got no more than Foraker. who took what be could pick up There were no dlf ferences between the $75 picture fire­works and the ten cent roman candle -—they all fizzled and went out In gloom.

Abner Handy Talks.But to go hack to some of the earlier

days of the convention, some of the days before the fireworks were all ex­ploded. the days when only tho fuses were sizzling. It was on Sunday, I think, that I met my friend Handy— Abner Handy from the Ninth Kansas distriet. Mr Handy, who has been out of politics In Kansas since 1!>02. was unable to get to the convention before Sunday on account of floods in the Kaw bottoms and until his arrival the pre-convention milling had been rath­er tame But the arrival of Mr Handy In his Prince Albert coat and black slouch hat. with his massive head of hair protruding fiercely, and his little silts of eyes keenly measuring up the situation—Mr Handy Is an expert on "the situation''—added new life to tho crowd in the Annex, and one may say that the convention began with his ar­rival.

It has been 12 years since I a t ­tended a Republican convention," said Mr. Handy, as he lolled In a red plush divan in alimony alley and spat through his teeth at the onyx mop- board, "and I meet a great many new faces. I first saw Fairbanks In the St. Ixmis convention, and I havo Just been talking to cne of his managers —one of the new men In Indiana poli­tics—born since 1 left the state—a Mr. Ade—George they call him. Clever young man. apparently. He tells me there Is a strong undercurrent for Fair­banks. and wanted me to help him bale it up so that there would be some surface Indications.

“But the situation," said Mr. Handy, as he pulled at his mustache and put hie hat over his eyes, “does not seem to be working out that way, though. Fairbanks Is a man than whom no other la all this great galaxy of slater states Is more fitted geographically and logically to lead our great party.

"I speak." went on Mr. Handy, after reflecting and chewlag viciously at his cigar, "1 speak In no uncertain tones lu this matter: he Is a leader without fear and without reproach, and with him as our standard bearer In this great contest the eagles of victory would perch upon our triumphant guidons."

la Now foe Taft.I can say for Mr. Handy to-day that

ho Is an ardent supporter of the sec­retary of war for president, and pro­poses to take the stump for hint iu his district. After the nomination Mr. Handy said to me:

“You know that I was for Roosevelt, of course. I was for him when he was Just a kid In the police commis­sion In New York. What's more, If we could have put hint on the ticket this year he would make Garrison county solid for the wholo t ick e t But then, you know, he's impulsive and erratic, and we've got to get down to business."

No Politics, All Reform.It was on Monday that I met my

friend from the Ninth district again. He was In the Pompeian room of the Annex when I found him.

"The only true thing," he said, as he waved proudly for the boy and ordered a split of water—"the only true thing about this convention 1b that nothing is true."

As he sipped the fuzzy water and recalled his promise to Mrs. Handy before he left home, Abner added re­flectively: "The trouble with this con­vention is there Is no politics In It. There are no politicians here. I’ve looked at this man Hitchcock—noth­ing but a card Index, that's all there is to him. And I’ve looked over Vorys -—he won’t do; he's perfectly frank. Haven't heard him called a liar since I’ve been here. No man gets far In polities uutil his enemies call him a liar.

"Say," added the colonel, as he leaned across the mosaic on the table top, "say—now honest—why did yoUr paper cut the 'Hon.' off in front of my name? I like It. Tell thorn to put It on. I was around when the New York delegation held a meeting to-day, and say! They don't know any more poli­tics than a rabbit. They decided to do nothing. Imagine a convention where the New York delegation Is such a four spot that they have to debate three days to decide whethor they will take the vice-president! And, what’s more. Imagine a convention where the most serious Item of interest Is the nominee for vice-president! And now the New York delegation Is going to have Its palm read to find out whether It will take Hughes foe vice president or rally around Jim Sherman, the peo­ple's choice or commit hara-kiri with Tim Woodruff."

Mr Handy reflected for a time andsighed. “It's h-----1!—lt'a certainlyb---- 1!—but what else could you ex­pect of a convention where poople all paid their railroad fare. You re ­formers will get this country sewed up In a sack so that there won't he any politics any more. They'll nomi­nate the delegates by direct primaries, Instruct them on the chief planks of tile platform—and where will the pal­ladium of our liberties be then?"

There Is something in Abner Handy's view of It. The alternate from the Ninth Kansas district has been drifting around to-day looking for tile old familiar faces, and ho finds they are not here. There aren't a dozen bronze buttons in all the throng.

CttHMV i—t• a. t- y

Young men with stiff straw hats and boyish faces are dominating the crowd.

"What can you expect." asked tho colonel, earnestly, as he drifted out of the Taft headquarters, “of a gang like that? No whispering—no one coming out of the consultation room like a mas from a dentist's office—with his teeth In his hands—a sadder and wiser man; nothing but Idle speculation about the vice-presidency.”

Sighs for the Old Days.The colonel waved for the waiter

and sighed and shook his head and said: "A promise Is a promise—when your wife Issues the door keys—yes, another bottle of those liquid hair­pins.”

Then he resumed his lamentations: “I saw some forlorn fellows solemn­

flit through the hotels like lost spirits and recall the dear dead days when thore was politics In this man's town, and a railroad attorney wi;h a hook of transportation was a bigger man than old Grant. And that's what your re­form has done Put a lot of Willies In serge suits—'nine ninety eight,marked down from fourteen fifty'— Into control of the destinies of our great republic.

“What has become of our common heritage?" exclaimed Mr. Handy, wav­ing his glass wildly. “Where Is our manifest destiny? Who's gone and stolen the pride pointer and the alarm- viewer? Is It In the platform? No, you reformers are making terms with Gompers; and Taft's liberal views,’ as they call them, are going to pre­vail over the fine conservative views of our peerless leader, our grand old man, freedom's champion, the defend­er of the faith of ihe fathers, the man who—the man who—the man who"— reiterated Mr. Handy—"the man who —I refer to Hon. J. G. Cannon of Dan­ville, 111.

"Where's your keynote speech In this convention? I'll tell you; ft's fastened In Burrows' time lock Who Is going to sound a clarion note here to-day? There will he no clarion note. The name of the gallant Blaine will not be heard in tho hall. The party that saved tho country, that broke tho shackles on 4,000.000 slaves, the party that preserved tho Cnlon. Is represent­ed here by tho allies, and they are tossed around like a lot of last \ea r 's alfalfa. They came here asking for the presidency; they were willing to compromise on Ihe vice presidency and sprung the name of Jim Shorman.

“It reminds mo of the time Col. Ana- doocTan J. Balderson of our (own started out to be minister to England under Cleveland's first administration. Ha found that Job gone, nnd compro­mised by applying for assistant secre­tary of state Falling In that, ho asked for United States marshal. Falling In that, he asked for the postolfico at home, and then, falling In that, straightened himself up and said: ‘Thank heaven, we have a Democratic governor In Kansas, and he will not turn me down.’

"He came home three months later with a pair of Gov. Gllck's old trous­ers, and to that end has your reform brought those who for 40 years havo been fighting the party's battles."

Mr. Handy rose proudly and said: "Reform—reform—what crimes a r t committed In thy name!”

The Big Crowd’s Tribute.What a ourlous thing Is a big crowd

of olvlllsod men and women gathered

for some formal occasion Yesterday afternoon the sibilant lisp of the great crowd in the Coliseum fell like a great wave on the shores of tku place, la idle conversation as the proceeding* of the convention droned on The committee on credentials m;uio its re­port, and the great crowd lapped ttj up as tho sea laps up tho sand—Im­personally, uninterested, utterly idle. There was no fight, and evidently tha crowd knew there would be no fighL

Tho regular order proceeded, and Senator Lodge was Installed as per­manent chairman, and tin* great crowd —the great huff sea. rocked Idly to look at him. He began to speak with some fervor, and little ripples of ap­plause played across the tide His earnestness deepened the billows slightly.

And the waves lulled nnd were quiet. And then, not while he was at a cli­max, but as the man before them was reaching deeper nnd deeper Into that soul of the place and the occasion. tha sibilant lisp of the crowd hushed, and In the great silence the man spoke* simply and strongly and without ora­torical flourish or einphat-is " lie has enforced the laws as he found them, and so he is tho best abused and most popular man In America "

It was not much of a tribute. But a wave of sincere feeling swept over the quiet tide of humanity It was not a strong wave—not much stronger than tho first wave that came rolling In But another wave followed it. and another higher and stronger came af­ter It. The speaker, who did not rea­lize what was about to come, put out his hand to beg silence, but a hugo wave of applause camo over him. and ho ducked and backed off good-na­turedly and let the wind of emotion play as It would across the restless sea before him

Then the crowd, in that hour of joy, gathered individuals In and they ceased to be Individuals and became the crowd. At times tho delegates wero swept off their feet. State after Rtate rose, liko black billows on the face of the waters, and oheered and waved pennants and sank to equilibri­um only to ruffle up again and cheer with the crowd. No stato was able to kcop Its mooring. And In the tumult and tho uhouting thero were no re-1 aetlonarles. New York was as bois­terous as Wisconsin, and Kansas joined Pennsylvania

"Roosevelt, Roosevelt, four years more." they roared, and the cry skimmed over the waves of applause like a gull, and like a gull jt was evan- scent. It signified nothing. And then slowly, when the deep answered deep, the calm came and the speaker went on with his speaking.

It was all so simply and so natur­ally done, all so evidently sincere, without claque or prearrangement, that thero was In its undercurrent a» element of sadness. For It seemed a l»ood by rather than a bait to Theo­dore Roosevelt, and those who have feared him feared him no more, amt those who havo trusted him were hap­py, but rather sad than joyful.

Once tho big show—the presidential nomination—was over, tho remainder of the work of the convention, the se­lection of a running mate for Secre­tary Taft, was completed In short! order on Friday morning when Hon. James S. Sherman of New York waa named for second place on the ticket,

o f Interest at Springfield .

Springfield—Col. John Edmonds•was In Springfield recently '-boosting" lo r the twentieth annual tournament

the Illinois Firemen's association, ' rhlch will be held In his town, Lin­

coln. July 28 29-30. Col. Edmonds! spent the day In the capital city tell­ing the people what a "live" town the Logan county city was and how roy­ally the people there were going to do things when the firemen of the slate meet for the annual tournament. Twenty years ago the firemen of j Illllnols met at Lincoln, organized ihe .present state association, and held the ! first tournament. The people are planning to make the annual gathering j this year as memorable as was the first one a score of years ago. A three days' program of events dear to the hearts of firemen has been arranged and $3,500 in prizes will be offered to those who compete. A committee of leading business men and local fire­men has been named to look after the details of the gathering and Insure the visitors who attend the tourna ment the time of their lives.

Miners to Elect Again.According to the decision of the

sta te executive board of the Illinois Mine Workers In the C. & A. subdis­trict matter, which was made public, a new election will be held to name the successors to Subdistrict Presi­dent Gallagher and Secretary-Treas­u rer Shears. In its findings the state board scores the action of some of the subdistrict men who seemingly were actuated by a desire to put Gal­lagher and Shears out of office for purely selfish reasons. The action of the subdistrict board in appointing successors to Gallagher and Shears was rescinded and if the decision of the stat<> board is abided by the work­ers will get a chance to name the men they want In these two offices. The referendum vote ousting Gallagher and Shears Is sustained although the board takes the view that the two men had done nothing lo cause them to be removed from office.

Bad Money Has Wide Circulation.Twenty-five secret service men In

Vncle Sam's employ are touring the country in an effort to locate money and put the "queer" silver out of ex Istence. One of the 25. Peter Drautz- burg, was in Springfield endeavoring to gather the many pieces of spurious money that have been circulating in the capital city for some time past. Complaints of “bum" money have been numerous In local business cir­cles for some lime past. Hardly a day passes but some one reports receiving a had coin in the daily receipts. Some of it has been finding its way to the banks, where It is promptly detected and carefully laid away to await the call of the secret service men. One of th e local financial Institutions reports receiving on an average of one coun­terfeit dollar a day for the past two weeks. Nearly all the hanks have found more or less counterfeit money in the deposits of late.

Soil Fertility Must Be Held.I)r. C. G. Hopkins of the I ’niverslty

of Illinois spoke lo members of the chamber of commerce at a luncheon at the Poland on the Importance of maintaing the fertility of Illinois soils and told how such could he done l)r. Hopkins' address was on a subject akin to the corn exposition to be held in this rity next fall and his expert testimony served to arouse interest in the coining show. The speaker called attention to the decrease in soil fertility in all counties as shown by history and stated while no occasion for alarm exists in Illinois at present, it is a subject deserving of the best thought of his audience. Owners of Sangamon county land must use their brains as they till the soil and not leave the preservation of fertility to ordinary tenants.

Airship Will Sail Over CitySailing In an airship of his own con­

struction from the state fair grounds to the state capitol, around the dome of the building and back again, is a feat which will be attempted during the coming Illinois state fair by G. L. Jlumbaugh of St. Ixmls. The distance to be covered Is over two mile* The state board of agriculture has just completed a contract with Mr. lluni- baugh, who will commence at once Ihe work on the airship. Bumbaugh Is remembered as the builder of the monster balloon "Chicago," owned by C. A. Coey, who, with Bumbaugh and a newspaper representative, recently ended in the air traveler from Quincy to Clear Lake, S. I).

Vayo Appears in New Role.A petition for a writ of mandamus

against I. N. Phillips, official reporter tto the supremo court, to compel him to place a supply of law reports on aale in this city at two dollars a volume was filed In the supreme court >by A. H. Vayo of this city. Vayo Is jthe man who filed an Information for criminal libel against Mr. Phillips In Ihe Sangamon county court. He charged that Phillips, actuated by anger because of attacks on the lat­her's monopoly of the law reports, pub- [)Uhed a libelous statement

Board Asks for Antitoxin Bid*.In compliance with the act of the

last legislature appropriating $30,000 for the free distribution of diphtheria antitoxin, the stale board of health, through its secretary, James A. Egan, advertised for sealed proposals for the supply. The specifications are very exacting and nothing but the best quality of the drug will be purchased by the state from the lowest bidder. Antitoxin is to be supplied to all p e r sons in the state who need It; hereto­fore It has been supplied to the poor only. On the application of a physi­cian in attendance on the person re­quiring it, the material will be fur­nished in packuges of 1 ,000, 2 ,000,3,000 or 5,000 units with a special syringe. Arrangements also have been made with the University of Illi­nois whereby a laboratory will be es­tablished there for the purpose of making bacteriologlc examinations.

Wheel Tax Law Constitutional.The supreme court in the cases of

Harder's Fireproof Storage and Van Company against the city of Chicago, and Harder and others against the city of Chicago handed down an opinion that the law passed by the legislature authorizing cities to pass ordinances providing for a special tax on wheeled vehicles, and the ordinance passed by the city of Chicago making a spe­cial tax for wheeled vehicles, are con­stitutional. The Cook county circuit court had held that the ordinance was constitutional as far as It referred to business vehicles, but that vehicles used for pleasure were exempt from its provisions. Appellants had also held that it was class legislation; that the owners of the vehicles had paid the usual taxes on them, and ought not be compelled to pay a special tax.

Alleged Dilatory Tactics of Concerns in Leland Hotel Fire Loss May

Result in Revocation of Thair Liceneea.

Springfield.—Because the insurance companies which held the risks on the damaged Leland hotel were said to be seeking a compromise, the own­ers of the hotel announced an en­deavor to have the state superintend­ent of insurance revoke their licenses for doing business in Illinois. Instead of paying the award of the arbiters or taking advantage of their option to rebuild the hotel, the companies were alleged to have made an effort to get together with the owners. The award of the arbiters was $55,000, but M. P. White, one of the trio, was alleged to have made a promise to the companies by whom he was selected that he would not sign any award giving over $47,000. He was declared to have frankly explained the condition to the other two when asked a reason for his refusal to settle the matter. Then, it is alleged, the companies entered into negotiations with the hotel owners to make a settlement, offering first $47.- 000, then $50,000 and finally $52,000. All the offers were refused and then it was purposed by the owners to re­port the violation of the law by the companies.

Board Hears Evidence.The state executive board of the

Illinois Mine Workers was In session to hear evidence in the matter of the ousting of W. F. Shears and James Gallagher, officers of the C. & A. sub- district. Shears was secretary treas urer and Gallagher president of the sub-district. Because of an action ta­ken during the shut-down the two men were asked to resign and later a refer­endum vote of the miners was taken, forcing such action. The matter was appealed to the executive board for a decision. After hearing the evidence the board took the matter under ad­visement Vice-President Farrington was not present at tlie meeting, hav­ing te en detained by the death of his father at Streator.

Editors End Session.With a lour of the city in carriages,

ending with a luncheon at Hoffer- katnp’s park near the fair grounds, the convention of the German Press asso­ciation was ended. The entire day was given over to entertainment, as the business sessions were concluded.

Water Within Few Inches of Embank­ment's Top at East St. Louis.

East St. Louis.—With the arrival of a 34.8 foot llojd crest Mayor Cook and other city officials directed the fight to save East St. Louis from the sweep of the Mississippi on the north and

| the backwater on the south. Five hun­dred men worked day and night pil­ing sand bags to strengthen the em­bankments of the Baltimore & Ohio and the Illinois Central, the keys to the situation. The current was at that time within a few inches of the top,

I and had the Baltimore tk Ohio em­bankment yielded a sweeping current would have covered the "island,” paralyzed terminal facilities and ad­vance on the residence section.

The back water routed out S00 resi­dents of Ruch City, a negro settle­ment. It Is believed the property loss will reach millions. Thousands of acres of crops have been destroyed, farm buildings washed away, and hun­dreds of head of stock drowned.

No Night’s Rest for a Year and Limit of Hie Endurance Seemed Near —Owes Recovery to Cuticura.

“My son Clyde was almost com­pletely covered with eczema. Physi­cians treated him for nearly a year without helping him any. His head, faoe, and neck were covered with large scabs which he would rub until they fell off. Then blood and matter would run out and that would be worse. Friends coming to see him said that if he got well he would be disfigured for life. When It seemed as if he could possibly stand it no longer, I used some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint­ment, and Cuticura Resolvent. That was the first night for nearly a year that he slept. In the morning there

I was a great change for the better, in i about six weeks he was perfectly well.

“New York was afterwards sold for $24; the whole island. When I think of this I go into my family gallery, which I also use as a swear room, and tell those ancestors what I think of them. Where were they when New York sold for $24?"

The humor of this strikes deeply when one stops to consider what has been the outcome of this original in­vestment. Peter Minuit, with trinkets and a few bottles of rum, so delighted the native Indians that they gladly turned over to him the whole of Man­hattan island, now the heart of Greater New York.—"New York, the Giant City," National Magazine.

His teeth were bared in a childlike smile, and his eyes sparkled with the light of con­scious virtue:

The Annihilation of Distance.How much nearer to eaeli ottier the

nations of the world are to-day than they were a few decades ago! When weeks and months were required to get news from across ocean the old world seemed to lee a long way off.

Australia and the islands of the sea are read at this morning's breakfast table. Distance is annihila­ted and the nations are becoming friendly neighbors in consequence. The marvelous change is brougtli home to the mind most strikingly upon read­ing a great modern newspaper whose telegraphic news covers the whole world each day—a paper such as The Chica­go Record-Herald, which has a vertia- ble army of correspondents in every important city.
