No Opposition to Senator TeIIer's
Re- Election.
WHAT MIR. PLATT SAYS S

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, January 15.-With
every train that has left Springfield today
has gone a crowd of tired politicians.
scarcely handful of legislators assem-
bling in the house this morning when the
speaker called that body to order and they
remained in session only long enough for
the chaplain to call upon the Lord to bless
them. When this official had finished his
duties an adjournment was taken until 5
o'clock Monday evening.
A similar session was held in the senate
and from now until Monday Sprirg gfield
will be practically deserted. In the strug-
gle for the United States senatorship the
political leaders have been for the most
part working night and day for the last
forty-eight hours and to them a cessation
Of hostilities until Monday came as an ac-
eeptable relief
Alderman Martin B. Madden. who with
drew from the contest last night In favor
of ex-Congressman W. E Mason slept
nearly until 10 o'clock this morning. He
came down stairs looking cheerful and said
that he was well satisfied with himself
and that he felt grateful to his friends for
the efforts they had made in his behalf.
Il shall go home feeling satisfied that all
of them were faithful TO me. and shall re-
sumo my former position in life with none
but the best of feelings for all"
Mr.. Madden left the city on the IL O. clock
train for Chicago Representative Lori
mer opened his headquarters as a candidate
this morning, and unless he changes his
mind he will remain here during the leg
tslative recess.
The millionaire packer, Samuel W. Aner-
ton, was the first senatorial candidate to
appear in public this morning. He was un-
usually jovial, and said that the with
6rawal Of Madden had greatly increased
lis chances of success.
The friends of Representative Hit were
. cut bright and early doing missionary work
among the members before their departure
for home. His manager expressed great
confidence this morning that he would go
into the caucus with enough votes to pre-
vent the nomination going to any candi-
date on the first ballot.
Col Clark E. Carr and his friends are
active. but are not talking a great deal,
though the withdrawal OF Madden has
given Col. Carr great hopes.
Developments are eagerly awaited re-
garding the candidacy of VIM. j. Calhoun
of Danville, who turned the tide to Nc
kinley in the Illinois state convention, pre-
oedfng the presidential nomination.

sions of regret were general, and the wife
and son have the sympathy of the whole

causes and cures?:" Below are given a

which is located somewhere between
the liver and the heart, the organ of the

Classification of the marrow of the

IF freaks become any scarcer, " said
a dime museum proprietor a few days
ago, "a good many of us will have to
go out Of the business. I never in my
life saw such a slump. Eight or ten
years ago we could get all the freaks
and curiosities we wanted-real ones,
too, and no fakes. We've got agents
securing the world for them, but they
are as scarce as strawberries at Christ
mas time"
"I'll give you a pointer" said an.
other man in the same line Of business
and who was M Of the party of three.
IF you can secure the freak I have in
mind, you can quit the business as rich
as Barney Barnato ever was"
why don't you grab it yourself?''
asked the first speaker.

WHEN MARIA JANE IS MAYOR.

When Maria James elected to the mayoralty
chair,
There'u be many wrongs corrected that are
now apparent there.
The sidewalks will be carpeted, the streets
swept thrice a day,
The alleys be as fragrant as fields Of new
mown hay.
What with parties and receptions ind occa-
sionally a ball,
There will be a transformation around the
city hall,
And each ward in the city will be represented
then
By lovely alderwomen, and not horrid alder
men.
When Maria Jane is mayor, none but ladies
will, of course,
Be appointed members of the city police force,
And in their bloomer uniforms they'll look so
very sweet
The gang to be arrested will consider it q
treat.
The stores will be compelled to have u bargain
sale each day,
And for chewing gum and soda you will not
be asked to pay.
Oh, great reforms will be projected, all the
wrongs will be corrected,
When Maria James elected IN the mayoralty
chair!
