RECEIVING THEIR PAPERS.
Corporations Must Swear That They Are
Not Trusts.

The states attorney of this county,
as of all other counties in Illinois, has
for some months been thinking over
instructions sent from Springfield and
based on the failure of corporations
to comply with the ANTITRUST law.
There are, it seems, 30, 600 corpora
tons in the state. and they are re-
puired to make sworn statements I'M
der the statutes to the general effect
that thew are not connected with any
trust. Last week there were notices
sent out from Springfield to each of
the corporations by the secretary of
state. and these will be received and
replied 10 at once.
The law provides that if the atlida-
Wit is not filed with the secretary of
state within thirty days of the time
notice is sent out the delinquent cor
poration shall be fined $50 for each
day after 80 DAYS and its charter re-
voked. The penalty for being con-
nected with any trust is Il fine not eN-
ceedinG $500 for the first otfcnSc, not
less than $500 or over 81, 900 for the
second offense, not under 81 600 and
not exceeding s., 600 for the third Of
Tense, not under s.. 900 or exceeding
$4,000 for the fourth otfense, and
SO, 600 and Imprisonment in jail after
the fourth oilense. In case the alli-
dayit is not filed within thirty days of
the sending of the notice the attorney
general is to commence proceedings
against the delinquents.

afflicted with cancer of the lower lip.
The cancer was removed the 1st of
September by DIR. Uriah Branch. of
St. Paul, who is cancer specialist.
DIR. Branch did not use a knife. but
put on a salve which drew out the
cancer. The principal cure was
effected by some internal remedy,
which DR.. Branch says kills the can

in Mr.. Young's case. for he was cured
in 10 days. No scar remains and the
cure is permanent"

National Love Of Our Navy.

What is it throughout the Nation,
in the North and in the South, in the
East and in the West, that evokes
nothing but patriotic emotion, that
inspires enthusiastic outbnrsts, when
the theme OF our Navy, the glory of
our ships, aud the heroism of our Of
ficers and seamen, is referred to in
public? What is it in the subject of
our Navy that induces men of all
creeds, of all parties, partisan and in
dependents alike, to unite in its praise
and to express feelings of patriotic
pride in the knowledge OF the fact
that each, as individuals, is represent
ed in and part of, that arm OF the
National defense? Simply and solely
because there is no politics, but much
patriotism, in the Navy, in the ships, !
and in the men. When the yoang
hero. Ensign Bagley, Of North Caro-
lima, offered up his life in his Ma
tons defense. the feeling of personal
and national loss was as keenly felt
in the North as it was it the South
the indivisible union of our Republic
responded to that patriotic test, pa
triotically. And 1t is not to be doubt
ed that with the fall Of Hamilton Fish.
the young Rough Rider of the North,
in the early days of the land cam
paigning before Santiago. the South
felt his loss as keenly, and apprcci-
ated his bravery as fully as any Of
those in the North--merely another
evidence Of the unity OF sections in
the Great Republic.
1t is that same spirit, that same
sentiment, that same patriotism, that
we wish to arouse into action in the
settlement of the great problem in
volved in the rehabilitation Of the
American merchant marine in the
foreign trade. Merchant ships, as
has been shown, and citizen seamen,
are in every respect as needful to the
Nation as are trained sailors, drilled
soldiers, or effective war-ships. The
Nation is in the greatest need OF mer-
chant ships and seamen, as aids to
and recourse for the efficiency OF our

citizen seamen for National defense
none may truthiully deny that asser-
ton. For that reason we make the
suggestion that whatever legislation
Congress may enact on that subject.
it be enacted as a patriotic, rather
than as partisan, duty. Let the
Nation. rather than the political par
ties. be the beneficiary of revived
American merchant marine.

A Glass House.

According to news from Japan pub
lished in the German press. the odd
est residence on earth is that recently
erected at Yokohama by an eminent
scientist now sojourning in the Mika-
dos lands. 1t is a microbe- proof
house, built of glass blocks. There
are no window sashes. The doors
when closed are alright. The air
supply is forced into the rooms
through pipe and filtered through
cotton wool to cleanse it Of bacteria.
To insure further sterilization the air
Is driven against glycerine. coated
plate of glass, which captures all the
microbes the wool spares. The few
microbes brought into the dwelling
in the clothes of the visitors soon die
in the warm sunlight with which the
house is flooded. The space between
the glass blocks& of which it is built,
is filled with a solution of salts which
absorbs the heat of the sun, SO that
the rooms are much cooler than those
protected by the thicker shades. In
the night the interior is heated by the
salts radiating the heat they have alb
sorbed during the day.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, Jan. IT,
The State Senate met today and adj
journed without transacting any bust
ness
The House made an effort to notify
the Senate that it had organized and
is ready for business. but it failed.
The Governor was duly notified, but
up to the hour of adjournment he had
failed to recognize the House, and it
is rumored tonight that he will refuse
to do so. This would cause chaos
and there would be an ENHANCEMENT
that would create much trouble, for if
the Governor does not recognize the
House as it now stands, he will refuse
to sign bills. The Democrats, it is
claimed, will retaliate by refusing to
pass any appropriation bills other
than those for humane institutions,
and this will bring about deplora-

all legal executions to be had in the

Mr.. Martin, of Kanawha, followed

tions to be with electricity.
A bill creating State service COM
mission was offered by Mr.. Martin.
This bill is for commission to ascer-
tain as near as possible the number

may be paid. The bill provides for
two meetings yearly in each congress

Mr.. Mcclure, of Ohio county, pre-
sented bill making every Saturday

Mr.. Taylor, of Cabell, offered a
joint resolution to the effect that this

take any action in regard to what is

Reigns Without Woman.

There is at least one tiny section of
the globe where women are conspicu-
ously absent from society and where
man reigns supreme, undisturbed by
the vagaries and capacities of even a
single woman's will.
There is only one territory of any
size-and never has been but one-oc-
cupied by any considerable popula-
tion from which woman is absolutely
excluded. Yet such place exists to-
day and has existed for centuries.
AS far back as history reaches to all
females it has been forbidden ground.
This country without women is stu
ated on a bold plateau between the
old peninsula of Acte, in the Grecian
archipelago, and the mainland. Here
in the midst of cultivated fields and
extensive woodlands dwells monas-
tic confederation of Greek Christians.
with 20 converts and numbering more
than 1000 souls. Not one of the mon
astaries dates from later time than
the twelfth century. A few soldiers
guard the borders of this land, and
no woman is allowed to cross the
frontier. Nor is this all; the rule is
extended to every female creature, and
from time immemorial no COW, mare,
hen, duck or goose has been permitted
to enter this territory.
