Druggists from different parts of

today from all over the prairie state

best he'd iu the history Of the organ

The gathering this morning was
called to order by President Walter

Mayor Knox for an address of well
como. That official stepped forward
and after presenting President Gale
with beautiful bouquet of roses.
spoke substantially as follows:

The response was made by w

to the rostrum a bundle wrapped in
a newspaper. When this was un-

THE NEW CRISIS IN CHINA.

Recent dispatches from China indicate the

movement against China have been lost

States. and as IL Germany were determined
TO inaugurate new anti-Chlnese crusade

had been ordered TO have all their avail
able troops ready in two weeks. A late lis
patch says the expedition will probably
start next Saturday In his letter to General
Chaffee Count Won Waldersee said: owing
TO the unsatisfactory nature of the negotia-
lions for peace and also to circumstances
rendering such course desirable IL will
probably be necessary to resume military
operations on a large scale, especially
towards the west" The expedition will be

the aggressors without any good cause of

A Hot Fight Over the Bill for n State

One of the first things the House did yes

against the bill. The House was in its
usual economic mood, ana concurred in the
report of the ways and means committee,
indefinitely postponing the bill relating to
the vincennes University claim. When the
House adjourned yesterday evening an eff
fort was being made to kill the bill AZ
propriating money with which to build a
Governors residence.
The House spent some time in the after
noon trying to dispose of some temperance
legislation. This came up in the way Of
Two reports from the temperance commit

port adopted. The majority wanted
to kill tho measure. If the bill passes as it
now stands no one can apply for liquor

months after a remonstrance has been sue

day in the House was over the report I

Guthrie'S bill establishing state veter-

afternoon adopted the majority repor. Oh

ing the passage of the bin in order TO have
the bill printed and of giving the Senate
an opportunity of debating its provisions.
The morning session was taken up with
the discussion of Senator Woods bill MAX
ing ii a felony to allow child or dependent
person to die without having medIcal at

recommended the passage of the bill, and

AGNEw SHIP CANAL BILL.
House Committee Decides to Make a
Favorable Report.

The House committee on cities and towns
held a meeting last night and arranged to
make a report on Senator Agnews ship
canal bill. All but two of the members
have agreed to report favorably on the bill.
Representative Erdlitz. who is opposed to
the measure, did not vote last night. out Of
Difference. he said, to Senator Agnew. 1t
was at Mr.. Erdlitzs suggestion that the
bill was referred to the committee on cities
and towns. and since he had advised Mr..
Agnew that this was the proper committee
to consider the DILL, he did not like to go
on record as voting against il.
At the time the bill was referred to the
committee 4nr ErdlitZ had not decided
what he would do about the matter. Rep
resentative Johnson, another member OF
the committee, did not vote last night and
will probably bring in minority report,
opposing the bill. Mr.. Erdlitz will speak
against the bill on the floor of the House.
Messrs. Louttit and Slack, of the commit
tee, who went to visit the proposed route
of the canal as the guests of the land COM
panies, were very enthusiastic over the bill
at the meeting last night. Mr.. Johnson, In
explaining his position last night to the
other members of the committee, said: Il
am prejudiced against this bill and have
become thoroughly Disguised with it, Since
1t has passed the Senate, members of that
body who voted for 1t have come to me
and asked me to do all / could to defeat
IL, saying that they were disguised with
their action and declaring that they voted
for 1t under a misapprehension."

The evils of the present system of primary
and nominating conventions have become
so pronounced as TO call for reform, and
the question is how best to accomplish 1t.
1t should be understood, of course, that any
legislation on the subject is tentative. If
it does not work well it can be repealed.
