look upon this as such an awful thing,
either. These cities and counties would

MUST ASSESS FRANCHISES.
Mandamus Issued Against Illinois
Board of Equalization.


Springfield, Ill, May fudge Owen
p. Thompson Of Jacksonville has handed
down his opinion in the suit of the man
damus of the Chicago teachers fedora
tons against the state board of equali-
cation and awards a peremptory writ of
mandamus- Judge Thompson holds that
members of the state board of eQualiza-
ton are public officers and that it IS
their legal duty to assess the stocks of
the 20 or more companies named in the
petition. He also holds that the last
board did not even make a pretense at
assessing Is Of this number. He holds
. that the act of assessing still remains
unfinished and under the statute, they
can be assessed as omitted property In
says the exigencieS of the case demand
the application of this extraordinary
remedy. Such officers must be made to
understand that both the spirit and let
ter of the law must be observed and that
assessments must be made honestly and
in absolutely good faith and no neglect
or evasion will be tolerated and a num-
damus is the only remedy known to law
by which such duties can be compelled.
On Nov Is, 1900, the Chicago teachers
Federation, through Catherine E. Cog
gin and Robert G. Steele both of Chic
ago, filed a petition in Sangamon cir
cult court for a temporary writ of man
damus to compel the state board Of
equalization to assess certain Chicago
franchises named in the petition.
The case was tried seven weeks ago
and has since been held under advise
ment by Judge Thompson. Writs viii
probably be served upon members of the
board at the annual session, which con-
VeneS here in September.

TIP FOR GOV. STANLEY.
He Is Sent Special Delivery Letter
of @Grave'' Import


Down in the wilds of Arkansas where
the state house fishing party is sup
posed to be taking the finny tribe out
of Spring river. a special delivery mes
senger will be hunting for Governor
Stanley tomorrow because of the ar
rival of a very important document in
the governors Office this morning
which it was thought best to forward at
once. The document is in the character
of a circular which bears the bold
headlines Bait your hook with magic
fish lure-it makes the fish bite
The stuff is made over in a little town
in Missouri, and if it is up to test, will
be just the thing for the states official
fisherman. Just why the Missouri con-
Germ should single ont the governor as
the most in need of advice is not en-
tirely clear and is a bit rough, but this
is the way they go at it:
''If you wish to have good luck and
catch plenty of fish when you go fishing,
get a box of Magic fish lure, a scientific
preparation that will entice all kinds of
fish to bite when fishing with a hook
and line. It's strong. peculiar odor and
bright sparkling appearance will at
tract the fish at great distance, and
they viii collect about your hook in
large numbers. and as long as there
are any kind within many yards of your
hook you will find yourself busy pull
ing them out. 1t contains no poison
and is not unlawful to use; can be used
with any kind of bait and will not wash
off. Each box contains enough for about
500 BATS with full directions for using. -
It looks as if the fisherman needed
some kind of assistance, Judging from
this nervy yarn, coupled with a heart
rending, but useless appeal. sent to
George Clark before the party had been
landed in Arkansas one brief hour:
Come on first train. Have already
caught sixty pounds of fish. Other
things progressing favorably, but short
