Gov. Tanners Reasons for yetoing the
Bounty Bill.

Gov. Tanners Reasons for Netoing the
Bounty Bill.
Considerable interest was felt in
Rock Island county in the beet sugar
bounty bill. the fate of which has been
sealed by Gov. Tanners veto. The
sugar beet industry had been dis
cussed by the farmers institute, and
it was hoped that the bill would be
signed. Gov. Tanner bases the veto
of the bill on the ground that it was
not passed properly, not having been
at large on three different days in each
house, as required by the constitu-
ton.
The bill in my mind is clearly I'M
constitutional, the executive says.
Gin that the record in the house does
not comply with the requirements
of the constitution, and for
me to sign the bill and farmers
throughout Illinois should plant beets
in anticipation of this bounty and the
bill fail in the courts, which it I'M
oubtedly would, would work a severe
hardship on the farmers of this state
/ do not feel like shirkipg the respon-
sibility of vetoing the bill, as it was
net legally passed and cannot consti-
tutionallv become law, and there
fore / veto the same and It is done ac-
cordingly."
With other states paying bounties
and Illinois paying none, it is not
likely that Illinois, the greatest agri-
cultural state in the union. will have
any number of beet sugar factories.

BOGUS STAMPS ON CIGARS.
The Action Taken by the Internal Reye-
nue. DeDlrtment.

The Action Taken by the Internal Reve-
nue. Department..
Merchants who have been appraised
by the United States special revenue
officer that they were handling cigars
having counterfeit stamps will be in
terested in Washington dispatch
which states that the international
bureau has in course of preparation
circular letter to collectors, in which
they are directed to forward to the
bureau all relief applications from in
nocent holders of cigars stamped with
counterfeit stamps and purchased
from Jacobs, the Lancaster, Pa, cigar
manufacturer recently arrested by
secret service officials. 1t is probable
that innocent dealers who have ac-
tually paid for the cigars will be per-
mitted to retain them on condition
that they restamp them. Cigars not
paid for will be sold and the proceeds
turned into the treasury. 1t is not
thought that Jacobs has been able TO
use counterfeit stamps in excess of
so, 900 or Sl2 900
. Telegrs ms from various parts of the
state and adjacent states show that
tens of thousands of falsely stamped
cigars have been seized.
Two internal revenue inspectors
have been going over the city the past
few days. 1t is not known to Deputy
l.. X. Eihl whether they found any
bogus stamps here, although some
were discovered in Davenport.

MEMORIAL DAY EXERCISES.
Observance to be Held Under Auspices
of John Buford Post.


As usual, the Memorial day exercis-

auspices of John Buford post, G. A.
R. Capt. j. NJ. Beardsley, F. c..
Hemenway, John Ohlweilerr and G. L.
Nissen constitute the posts commit
tee on arrangements, and will shortly
get together and make preparations
for the occasion in which honor is
paid the memory of those who died
that their country might live.
Graham post, of Moline, is making
preparations for the observance of
Memorial day at Riverside cemetery
in the forenoon. One departure from
the usual custom will be made this
year which marks the beginning of a
new era of feeling. That is the dec
Grafton of the graves of the confeder-
ate dead on the island and flowers will
be strewn above their narrow beds.
Flowers likewise will adorn the rest
ing places of the union soldiers and
in addition small flags will wave at
each headstone. Members of the
posts are heartily in accord with the
sentiment which shows n recognition
of the bravery of that foe and for
giveness of his warfare.

4 Refreshing Style.

The art of quotation requires deli
cacy in practice. An already famous
firm has originated and developed
into very promising advertising a
mass of old and quaint proverbs. We
refer to Messrs. &. l. Hood Il Co.. of
Sarsaparilla fame, who are using not
only our columns, but those of thou
sands of our contemporaries, in
adapting wise saws to their service by
clever and pra rtical turns. 1t is re-
freshing to see something new and
bright in this line. Clean cut argu-
ment is better than big display type.

Grain-O Brings Relief

To the coffee drinker. Coffee drink
ing is habit that is universally in
dulged in and almost as universally
injurious. Have you tried Grain-O?
1t is almost like coffee, but the effects
are just the opposite. Coffee upsets
the stomach, ruins the digestion, af
fleets the heart and disturbs the whole
nervous system Grain-O tones up
the stomach, aids digestion and
strengthens the nerves. There is
nothing but nourishment in Grain-O.
1t can't be otherwise. ID and IS cents

POSTUM FOOD COFFEE.

Ordinary coffee agrees perfectly
with some people and with others it
does not. 1t is the hidden and I'M
suspected cause of numberless stub
born ais. To leave it Off for ten days
means n relief in such eases. Take
on Postum Cereal Food Coffee and
enjoy your hot morning cup. The
food elements serve to quickly and
surely rebuild the broken down nerve
centers. 10 and % cents at Urocers.
