TANNER CALLS FOR RELIEF FUNDS.
Believes the Government Should Go
Further,

Further.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,. Feb. 1.-Governor
Tanner in a proclamation today requesting
contributions to the relief fund authorized
by President Mckinley says:
While I approve and second the action of
the president in this regard, 1t is deeply i'm
pressed upon my mind that measures of
temporary relief are but palliative in their
nature and that while their effect Is partly
good it is also partly injurious and dep or
able. What is demanded at our hands, in
my judgment, is prevention, which can be
secured on'y by using all the influence and
power of the government to put an end to
the civil war in Cuba, for which the time
seems now fully ripe by recognizing the
Cuban republic and insisting that the free
dom and Independence of the Cuban people
shall be respected throughout the world.

Preparing TO Eject sauntters.

Acting under instructions from the coun-
ell, City Engineer Beal is now engaged In
preparing list OF squatters who are occu-
pying land belonging to the city. 1t ls
estimated that fully 100 families are living
In shanties erected on unused portions of
streets and alleys, and as ten years OF un-
disputed possession gives ouch persons a title
to the land, 1t has been thought best to
take some steps in the matter. Recently
the members OF the council discovered that
the time limit had nearly expired on certain
portions OF public property and II will be
necessary to take some legal action to pre-
vent the land from going out OF the pos
session Of the city. The city engineer will
file with the council a list containing the
names OF all persons now located on land
owned by the city and this will then be
referred to the city attorney. with bnstruc-
tons to either prepare leases or commence
eiectment proceedlngs.

Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores.
"At the age of two months, my baby
began 10 have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external APP
plications that we could think or hear OF,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side OF his face. We consulted a physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods isarsaparilla. j also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the iirst bottle
was finished, the sores We're we'll and have
never returned. He is now fouryearg old,
but he has never had any sign of those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful My boy owes his good health
