Springfield, Ills, Oct. 25.-The state
board of equalization held q short Ses.
sion yesterday morning and ad.
journed for committee work. The COM
mittee on capital stock was in session
all morning, most of the time being
devoted to the consideration and dis.
cussion of the complaint of the teach.
ers' association, of Chicago, relative to
the franchise corporations of that city,
which they allege are escaping taxa
ton. The general sentiment around the
committee rooms of the board is that
the agitation will result in 4 material
increase in the assessment of all
classes Of property in that county.
State Fees Are Increasing.
The advance sheets of the biennial
report of Secretary of State James A.
Rose show the total fees collected for
the two years ended Sept. so, 1900, to
be $671, ,S03. being an average daily
of $1,0T3.17. The total collections for
the last four years are 81 ,09S, ,SS0.54,

Another Man OF the Ballot.
Springfield, Ills, Oct. 25.-The with
drawal Of Nicholas Grassland, of Blue
Island, as presidential elector on the
ticket of the Social Labor party has
been received by the secretary of state.
Grassland gives as reason that he can
further the interests of the labor vote
more by working for BTyan's election
than by remaining on the ticket of the
Social Labor party. The withdrawal of
James Pierce as middle-of-the-road
Populist candidate for congress in the
Twenty-firSt district was received too
late for withdrawing his name from
the official ballot by the secretary of
state, as certificates of the nomination
had been sent to county clerks. and
Pierce will therefore have to apply to
the county judges in his district to or
der the county clerks to take his name
off the ballots before the same are
printed.

Hanna Primm, whose last testament
he asks set aside. Enoch W. Primm,
husband of the dead woman, is the
man accused of using occult methods
TO influence the woman TO leave all
her property to him. Stookey claims
that his sister. when she was married

document signed by both man and
wife, the agreement being that the
survivor should receive all left by the
one first to die.

death Primm has claimed the power
to call up the sons spirit. To convince
his wife that he had such powers he
at each meal placed a chair. a plate,
knife. and fork at the table for the de-
parted son, causing the woman to be-
lieve her son was at the table. The
