SPRINGFIELD, Aug. 23.-The state
board of equalization this morning adopted
resolution calling upon the auditor for
a list of all swamp and overflow lands
granted to each country in the state under
the swamp land act.
The governor, attorney genera! and au-
ditor, after a long. deliberated and secret
session this morning, decided that Grand
Tower was not an appropriate location for
the southern Illinois penitentiary. The
commissioners to select site will look up
another location.
SPRINGFIELD, Aug. 23-The governor,
10 giving his reason for refusing to select
Grand Tower as the location for the south
ern penitentiary, says. awe have arrived
at the conclusion that the condition of its
elevation, in the sense in which it is used
in the law. is absent at Grand Tower.
There is a conflict of evidence whether the
particular spot selected is or is not free from
all danger of overflow by the high water
of the Mississippi river. The prepouder-
anse of the evidence is that it is above the
highest water of which we have any actual
record, but there remains for apprehension
that this place may at some time be below
| high water, or that at extreme high water

ly interfere with the drainage ora prison.
The following consideration, also, we think,
should have some weight: Inorder that the
penitentiary may not be financial burden
upon the state 1t is necessary that it be SO
situated as to secure the letting of the Ia
Dor of the convicts upon the most favor
able terms; in proximity, therefore to
some great business centre, is deemed an
important consideration which we do moi
think is adequately met by the location
named in your report.

MANY WHO ARE SUFFERING

from the effects OF the warm weather and are de-
bilitated, are advised by physicians to take mod
crate amounts of whisky two or three times during
the day. In little while those who adopt this ad-
vice frequently increase the number OF drinks"
and in time become confirmed inebriatcs. A bev-
erage which will not create thirst for intoxicating
liquors, and which is intended especially for the
benefit of debilitated persons, whether at home or
abroad, is DR.. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic. Con-
tanning the juices Of man. medicinal herbs, this
preparation does not create appetite for the in
toxicating cup. The hourishing and the life sup
porting properties of many valuable naturUl pro-
ductions contained in it and we'll known to medi-
cal men have a most strengthening influence. A
single bottle of the Tonic will demonstrate its val
liable qualities. For debility arising from sickness
over exertion or from any cause whatever, wine
glassful Of Sea Weed Tonic taken after meals will
strengthen the stomach and create an appetite for
wholesome food. Eo all who are about leaving
their homes, we desire to say that the excellent ef
fects of DR.. Schenck's seasonable remedies, Sea
Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, are particularly
evident when laken by those who are injurously
affected by a change of water and diet. No person
should leave home without taking supply OF these
safeguards along. For sale by all druggists.

LONDON. Aug. 24.-The Daily News
correspondent at the Russian headquarters
explains the mystifcation which has arisen

1t has has been reported they we're sue

force its way into the defile it was there so
roughly handled by the Russian artillery
and by regiment holding the pass, that it
was compelled to retire.

LONDON. Aug. 24.-Several special dis

Turkish embassy at Berlin having. through
