SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,. April 2S.-As the
time for calling the Illinois State Repub-
lican convention to order approaches the
prospects are for less bitter fight than
was anticipated. The Cook county machine
and the Mckinley hackers had a truce con-
ference this evening, and an agreement was
reached. But 1t Is highly probable that
there will be lively contest between the
two factions before the close of the con-
vention In spite Of this truce. The con-
ference was held to decide on the time or
introducing the resolutions instructing the
delegates at large to the national conven-
tion. All along the Mckinley men have de-
clared this matter should be acted on as
soon as a permanent organization should
be effected. Culiom, Tanner and the Cook
county people have opposed this. An agree
ment was reached this evening in less than
an hour. 1t was that the resolutions in
structing the national delegates at large
should not be presented until after all the
State officers. excepting the trustees OF the
State University, shall have been nom-
mated. and that this resolution shall be dis
cussed not to exceed one hour. Beyond

A Steady, Bright Light.

Woman kind.
1t is worth the time and thought to
find out the best way to get steady,
bright light from ones lamps. 1t isn't
every one that can live in the city or
town where you can have electric
lights or gas, and even if you do per-
haps you are like myself, prefer a
students lamp for a steady light to
read or work by. Absolute cleanliness
is necessary to keep a lamp in good
order, but I learned the secret of sue
cess from a friend who has to use
lamps by the dozens, having large
family and entertaining great deal
of company.
1t was a delight to try to read by
one Of her lamps. I watched her one
morning, for she overlooked the clean
her burners into a basin of hot water,
dissolved handful of pearline into it,
then rinsed off in warm water, and
dried off with soft cloth and polished
bright with newspapers. She said
this kept her lamps from having any
odor or smell of coal oil. She always
used the best headlight oil, and the
chimneys were washed in the same
water. It wasn't the work Of once a
week, 1t was every morning, and the
same cloths and basin were kept for
this purpose, and no one was allowed
to trespass upon them. Every visitor
noticed the charm in her lamps, and
wanted to know what she used to
make them shine like new ones. Some
had been used for five years or more,
and one an heirloom, kept apace with
the modern burners, and gives a. bright
light, Every housekeeper has more
or less trouble with her lamps, and
perhaps this will be help TO them.

Bruin Goes on a Spree, and Has q
High Old Time.

Louisville Post
An incident not on the bills occurred
with the Ringing Brothers circus a.
snort time ago, and what would have
been very funny affair had it not
been for the imminent danger that at
tended it resulted from the combine
ton of big brown hear and a quart
of brandy.
During one Of the night runs Of the
show Bismarck, the largest member of
the shows bear family, was taken vio-
lently sick. The veterinary of the COM
pany was called, and he said bruin was
suffering from q severe collie and pre-
scribed brandy and peppermint in
small doses.
James Rafferty,, who has charge Of
the animals, at once sent out for a
quart Of brandy and four ounces of
peppermint, and in the mean time had
the bear taken out Of the cage and
chained to q stake In the menagerie
tent, where he could be more easily
treated. By mistake, the assistant,
who was charged with the task of adj
ministering the medicine to the bear,
understood that all the medicine was
to be given to the bear at once and
while Mr.. Rafferty, was busy In another
part of the canvas, the four ounces of
peppermint and the quart of brandy
were poured down Bismarck's throat
relieved by this heroic treatment, and
lay contently with his nose on the
ground for few moments. Then sud-
denly, without the slightest warning
Bismarck let out a mighty groWl
leaped from the ground, Jumped for
ward, his tremendous weight pulling
up the stake, and went cavorting
against the center ploe. Then he
picked himself up and went On wild
staggering run around the side of the
tent, knocking against everything in
his way, and all the while setting up
wild bowls and low growls of JOY
The noise soon brought every one into the
canvas, where Bismarck was holding his cell
ebration, and Mr.. Rafferty,, seeing that the
capture of the bear in his present mood would
be a hopeless and dangerous task, and
alizlng what would be the result should the
frenZied bear get into the tent where some of
the other cages were standing and free some
of the other beasts by knocking their cages
over, ordered the attendants to arm them
selves with clubs and keep the bear near
the side wall. This they succeeded in doing
and after Bismarck had reeled about for
something like half an hour, he sought cor
up in tarpaulin and deposited in his cage.
During the drunken spree the bear acted
very much like an intoxicated man. He
leered eunningly, even hiccoughed, and 1t
was only by the dexterous use of their clubs
that the attendants could keep the big brown
topper from huggfng them. One of Bismarck's
circus tricks is to carry a gun while walk
ing on his hind legs, and this trick he per-
formed with a pole during the course of his
spree. Mr.. Alexander, who prescribed the
bear In small doses until he had been re-
lieved, but that q quart of such medicine
enough to give any bear delirium ire
mems.

BLUFFED THE TICKET SELLER.
How Young Man Got Pasteboard
Stamped at n Railway ONCE.
PittShurg Pos

PlttSDurg Post.
Railroad managers make fine pretense
of depressing the ticket brokers. In some
states they have been instrumental in hav-
ing laws enacted intended to squelch the
scalpers by making their business illegal.
AS matter of fact, the ticket broker is one
of the best ads in securing business pas
senger agents have, and ordinarily they will
do little better for scalper than for per-
son who wishes a ticket for his own use.
Once in while, however, when excursion
tickets are being sold at a particularly low
rate, the railroads do not wish the brokers
to have the tickets at all. Then they sur
round the handling of the pasteboards with
what they consider safeguards sufficient to
prevent the brokers getting a slice of the
pie. But the brokers never miss a good
thing, and the regular travellers make 1t
easy for the efforts of the railroads to be
frustrated

AN AUTUMN NIGHT.

Some things are good on autumn nights,
When with the storm the forest fights,
And In the room the heaped hearth lights
Old-fashioned press and rafter;
Plump chestnuts kissing in the heat,
A mug Of cider, sharp and sweet,
And at your side a face petite
With lips Of laughter.
Upon the roof the rolling rain,
And, tapping at the window pane,
The wind, that seems a witch's cane
That summons spells together;
A hand within your own awhile,
A mouth rejecting back your smile,
And eyes, two stars, whose beams exile
All thoughts of weather.
And, while the wind lulls, still to sit
And watch her fire-lit needles fit
Admitting, and to feel her knit
Your very heartstrings in it;
Then, when the old clock ticks It's late,
To rise. and at the door to wait
Three words. or at the garden gate
A kissing minute.
