FRIDAY EVENING, hLCENGEE Il. 1900.
Tho Capitol Contention Begins.

With Sensational headlines the Ia.
coma N'hS announces the fact that
Fenton IL. Co.'s. oi that city, has
brought action against lis accidcncy,
T. Il. Rogers, Robt. Bridges, rs Land
Commissioner, Frank !. Browne, State
superintendent, W. D. Jenkins, Sccrc-
:ary. and Neal Checthan,, Auditor,
tire latter officer hcing an cr q1fcio
member OF the Board OF Capitol Com
mi>~ioncr-.
Mr.. Goss, who in le9G, was awarded
a contract for building the capitol, APP
plies in this action for writ OF
mandate To compel those officers
to fill the Board OF Capitol Com
missioners. TO cause warrants TO be
issued and sold for cash, and that the
land-grant be offered for sale and sold
ii a sufficient sum offered aggregating
so per acre, can be obtained for it,
and that whenever a sufficient sum
has been received to equal the unex-
pended balance of the appropriation,
that they be required to complete the
contract with the plaintiff, and enable
him to proceed with the work OF con-
struction of the capitol.
The News gives brief history Of
the way in which this important
matter has been side-tracked by inter-
ested parties and states that Mr.. Goss
feels that he has been damaged to the
extent of 100000 by the failure OF
the State to fill its part of the con-
tract with him.
F. S. Carroll and A. B. Titlow are
counsel for Goss, and the matter is set
for hearing before Judge Linn in this
city on the 4th day OF next month.
1t is not thought that the plaintiff
has any hope of compelling the execu-
tive to proceed with a work he has
deliberately ignored, despite the re-
quirements of law, but it is regarded
simply as a device to give Goss the
necessary foothold to ask for an
award OF damages by the incoming
Legislature. 1t is to establish judi
cially the legality of award of con-
tract and to show that Goss had made
an attempt to discharge in good faith
the duties involved, as we'll as having
made recourse to the courts to protect
his rights. 1t looks as if he would
be we'll fortified to press his demand
from every point of justice and fair
dealing, and that one of the first du-
ties of our law.givers will be to patch
up the execrable work of an auto.
cratic, law defying executive.

ANY Democrat who can cast back
his political memories for few years,
must laugh to recall the Nominations
of the Republicans of that time against
any seeking to enter the foreign mar
kets and their declaration that the
home markets were good enough for
them. Now that things have changed,
they contend, of course, that they
were in favor of developing our foreign
trade all the time instead OF being bit.
terly hostile to it-as they were.

1T is reported that 1900 bolomen
have surrendered in the Philippines.
If so, so good. But be not hopeful
brethren, that tho war is over. There
have been similar surrenders before,
only to have the surrendered 60 back
to the fighting line after they have
had few full meals and had seen
their families.

GARFIELD is model Prohibition
town. The Mayor-elect. F. L. Gwinn,
was one of the Prohibition candidates
for elector in November. No City At.
torney was elected as mono was need
ed, and there is not lawyer in the
place. There is not a card-room or
cigar stand in the little city, and the
people all 60 to bed at shutdown and
get up with the dawn.

One OF the worst bills of its kind
ever proposed is now pending in Con-
gress. BY its provisians, all veterans,
whether disabled or not, are to have
preference for appointment or promo
ton in the government service. If
the bill passes, it will mean that the
entire government service will be put
into the hands of the veterans to the
exclusion of all civilians.

Matrimonial "Chromos."

\ Providence, Il. l., furniture dealer
has hit upon splendid plan for obtain
ing considerable gratuitous advertis-
ing, and at the same time make it
doubtless very printable means OF
gain. Relying upon the human weak
ness for obtaining something for moth
ing, he advertises that he will begin
the new year 10y providing the marri-
age feast, pay the ministerial fee and
defray the expenses of three days
wedding trip, for all bridal couples
who shall purchase their housekeep-
ing outfit of him. The service is
graded, however, in proportion to the
extent OF the purchase made. With
seven room purchasings, all the above
go; six rooms, call for feast and the
parson; five rooms, TO the feast only,
and those who cannot afford to furnish
more than four rooms, will get only
the parson. All will, however, receive
a silver mug or a high-chair for every
child born within five years OF date OF
the marriage. The promoter says
that he will do this "to stimulate
trade, promote human happiness and
benefit the community" but it is evil
dent that the main incentive is I'M
braced in the first clause OF the an
nouncement, "to stimulate trade"
and it is very probable that matrimo-
NAL parties united under this unique
method will discover, if their vision is
keen, that all the expenses provided
for by the shrewd dealer in furniture
is included in the bill as graded.
For those couples who are caught
by the ordinary Fair weddings, where
parlor suit, q cooking range, or
some other serviceable adjunct to
housekeeping, is awarded for the extra
gate-money the event brings, the idea
of something for nothing" (unless it
be sacrifice of self-respecD seems to
be realized, but in the proposition OF
this Yankee matrimonial promoter it
is ten to one that the newly-married
pay every dollar of the expense in
volved, from license to coverlid
and pillow-sham, disguised under one
form or another.

Generalization Of College Athletics

Chauncey Rathbun, an Olympia
boy, student at the State University
and leader of the Rooters' Club, has
got himself into trouble for inject
ing" profanity into the college yell
and refusing to remove it. The
young man has been indefinitely sus.
pended, which, Prof. Graves declares
to be "a softer term for expulsion"
Rathbun claims that he had the use
of the name of Deity changed to
Hully Geo." but the club refused to
accept the substitution and continued
to give the yell as originally written.
1t was as follows:
"Hippity Hacklc,
Hippity Hackle
God Almighty,
See that tackled"
1t has long seemed to those outside
OF college walls that there was too
much in those institutions of a drift
towards physical development to the
neglect OF mental education. Through
boating, baseball and later football
achievements, the leading colleges
seem to have kept quite prominently
in the public eye, while the higher
realms of literary or scientific research
seem to be terra incognita when meas.
ured by notable achievements or USE
full discoveries made along these path
ways to knowledge. 1t would be far
better to educate the head instead
OF the heels, as now seems to be the
primary object of the higher Univer.
sity courses.
Chauncey Rathbun must have
changed very much from his youthful
nature. if he has developed into an
undesirable student" as is alleged by
Prof. Doubt. How much of it is due
10 the college course, is a query that
will obtrude, especially as the young
man earned merited marks of recogni-
ton for bravery as a soldier in the
Philippines, and is entitled to some
consideration for patriotism as well as
an exemplary youthful life.

The Sultan is to pay up through
the purchase OF a cruiser and the

way, that payment could have been
had months ago by this means, but
was refused and the very idea of its
acceptance was ridiculed. But that
was before the election.

CONGRESS is we'll under way and the
Republican measures are booming all
along the line. Some OF them may be
prevented from passing at this session,
but, if SO, they will get through next
time and therefore the chances are
that the Democrats will content them
selves with going on record in opposi-
ton and then letting the 6. o. p. do
its worst.

AFTER all the talk of the decadence
of the merchant marine of the United
States, there may be some surprise at
the statement that the United States
stands second among the nations in
the tonnage it has afoat. 1t is ex-
ceeded only by Great Britain, and no
subsidy bill is likely to enable it to
pass that country.

A Sensible Girl.

We should not forget to cypress few
words of praise for Miss Alta Rookie
fslle, who has dowry of $4,000, 900 and
is to become the wife of respectable
and respected Chicago attorney with a
fortune of only $4,000. Miss Rookie
Teller has the reputation of being sens
lble, well-bred and attractive American
girl, and her wedding announcement
confirms the impression. She will not
marry title, but she will retain the re-
spect and receive the good wishes of
American manhood and womanhood.-
Er,
Yes, indeed, Alta is to be COM
mended by everybody with an ounce
of patriotic blood in his, or her, veins.
A sensible girl with dot OF fifty
millions, if inclined to take her pick
of American manhood, can Rock-a-
Teller to utter oblivion of any scruples
OF any sort. The actions of the Gould
dude and the Zimmerman jack should
convince any girl of sense that old
world heredity rests upon a very in
secure foundation, and that the life of
a wife OF the effete nobility may be a
realization of those hot times" so
wildly pictured by Dante as the ulti-
mate and final reward for worldly
pride.
IT is claimed that three of the

will fill the place OF Councilman, and
the other one Of the most important and
lucrative positions in the county SER

dispute the position that all officers OF

possess a thorough interest in public

Louis Larsen, the sailor who was
terribly cut in a saloon row at Aber-
deem, December 4th, died Tuesday.
Three tramps connected with the
trouble, and who were held awaiting
the result of Larson's injuries, were
taken before the man when dying, and
he positively identified one of them as
his assailant. All three are held for
trial. Larson was 26 years old, I'm
