trail committee; Len Small, chairman
of the executive committee. 1t is un-
derstood, moreover, that the state in
stitutions at Kankakee, Anna, Ches-
ter, Joliet, Jacksonville and Elgin
will be selected for the experiment.
1t was proposed to start suits for
recovery of voluntary" political con-
tributions last spring when the Gull
lom- Mason Dawes Sherman combine
was making active warfare against
the Yates Lorimer-Hopkins machine.
Considerable evidence was collected
and is still available for use. This ev-
idence, however, was not presented
in full prior to the republican state
convention on account of the embar-
rassment such action would cause to
complaining state employees. Now
conditions are changed. The Kanka-
kee scandal has thrown the republi-
can bosses into panic and the party
reins have been slackened.
1t is asserted by the persons inter
ested in bringing the assumpsit suits
that the recovery of contributions is
of secondary political Importance.
The chief necessity is to trace the
determine who is responsible for the
5 per cent assessments. Gov. Yates
probably will be made party to each
suit, and possibly Rowe, French and
Small. The superintendent of the in
stitutiOn to which the complaining
employee is attached also will be made
a party defendant.
1t is pointed out that the Yates ma
chine will be unable to make the de-
Tense that money was paid by EN-
ployes voluntarily, as the evidence,
it is claimed, will show that the 5
per cent tax has in most instances
been withheld from monthly salaries
and the amount deducted noted on
the pay envelope. In cases where
money was not actually withheld, it
is claimed, the evidence will show
that the voluntary contributions
were made under duress and fear of
discharge.
The recent investigation at Kanlla-
kee disclosed that testimony was
available tending to show that in the
eastern hospital for the insane en-
pIoyes who refused to submit to the
assessment scheme were discharged.
Chairman Rowe, of the republican
state committee, commenting on Sen
ator Mason's charges, said:
Senator Mason has Joined the dem
ocrats. We are republicans and have
no fights against republicans, but are
.devOting our energies to a fight on
the democrats"
Mr.. Rowe, however, declined to be
quoted regarding the Der cent as
sessment fund charges.
The situation within the warning
ranks of the republican party in ILL
'nOis is truly becoming more interest
ing daily.

by a singular coincidence" John
NJ. ThurstOn, who is eX-Queen Liliuo-
kalani's attorney in her claims
against the United States for crown
lands. sails for Honolulu with Sena-
tors Burton and Mitchell, who are
charged with investigating those
claims, says the Chicago Chronicle.
Mr.. ThurstOn is happy in these coinci-
dences. When he was in the senate
he always happened to be around
when anything was up affecting the
Union Pacific road, of which he was
likewise attorney. In the present
case, however, Mr.. Thurston will
likely come to grief as the result of
his devotion to the interests of his
employers. 1t is a nine-days' trip
from San Francisco to Honolulu and
in that time Burton will talk him to
death.

The omission of any reference to
Cuban reciprocity in the republican
campaign textbook is in the nature
of an undoubted snub to President
Roosevelt on the part of the party
managers, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. They reflect the left-alone pol
icy that prevails in congress and
brought shame upon the national
good faith. But the president has
his revenge in the unmistakable sup
port he gets from the rank and file
of his party, as evidenced in state
after state by the Endorsement of
reciprocity in the platforms adopted,
and still further by the reputation
of beet sugar representatives, many
of whom have failed of denomination
even in what were supposed to be the
distinctive beet sugar states. Be
tween the making of textbooks and
the successful dealings with actual
issues there is a mighty difference.

SUFFERERS
SHOULD SEE CHIEF OF STAFF
OF THE ILLINOIS X-RAY IN
PRIMARY IN THE MITCHELL
II LYNDE BUILDING.

The fame of the medical staff of
the Illinois y Ray Infirmary, with
DR.. j. Alvin Horne as president, is
positively unmatched in the state by
that of any other body of medical spe-
cjalists. There is good reason for this
they cure the most desperate chronic
cases after they have been abandoned
by other physicians as incurable, and
their high professional reputation is
therefore merited.
These physicians treat a certain
class of diseases and confine their
practice to them alone.
They treat and cure all chronic, ner-
vous and organic diseases of both men
and women.
Their methods of diagnosis and
treatment are scientifically in adj
vance of all ordinary methods in med
icine and surgery. They are masters
of all pelvic weaknesses and diseases,
as they affect the male and female,

Professor Talfourd Smith, Principal

"With much pleasure 1 recommend
Peruna to all who may be suffering with
any trouble of the respiratory organs.
1 have been using il in my family for
the past five or six years and find it to
be almost a household necessity. Peru

general tonic and will do all that Is
claimed for 1t by the manufacturers.
---PROF. TALFOUE,D SMITH.
Catarrh is Inflammation of the mucous
membrane. 1t may be in the mucous
membfane lining the eyes or the pelvic
organs, throat, stomach, liver, bowels or
kidneys.
Catarrh is catarrh wherever located.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.
Peruna is an internal remedy; not
local application.
Catarrh is a systemic disease, not q
local disease. If Peruna will cure catarrh
in one place 1t will cure it in any other
place, because Peruna is a systemic REM
edy. 1t reaches the disease through the
circulation in each organ. 1t eradfcates
the disease by eradicating it from the
system.

No. 2 Northern-News Of
->'<.'.r the Trade.

Minneapolis, Chamber of Commerce,
Aug. 20.-Higher cables and unsettled
weather were the two important strength
ening factors in grain this morning.
Wheat was up in all markets, showing
1ac advance on the opening here witt Sep
tember &c. There were. heavy rains In
portions Of the northwest. nearly an inch
at Huron and at Moorhead. The fore
cast was for showers to-day in Minnesota
with possibly fair weather tomorrow.
Local receipts showed up little better
with twice as many cars In as yestt.'-
day, 1s3 against 81, but the showing was
Strengthening by comparison with last
year when there were 334 cars in. AS
Sept. l draws closer there is marked
tendency to fight shy Of the short side of
Sept eraber. At the present rate there
will be little contract wheat here Sept.
l. Good weather might bring in heavier
receipts and relieve the situation, but
with continued rain, and only ten days
remaining before delivery day, September
shorts are very nervous and inclined to
run in on every strong turn At primary
points receipts were 1,093 900 bu against
1,215. 900 bu asst year, and shipments
71S,0OO against 4S1 ,000 Wheat and flour
clearances equaled 30S, 900 bu. Paris was
weaker and lower but Liverpool closed
%61ad higher. New York reported
number Of deals pending in wheat for ex-
port and some ten loads taken early.
The market had a very slight set
back midway in the session but was firm
again towards the close. Chicago was
much stronger all around the local mar
ket holding comparatively steady moving
up only h@Ac on a 1sc advance In Chi
cago September. The trade looks for the
market to turn on the weather over night
and with continuation Of present condl-
tions a further advance is looked for,
while a good clearing up would probably
bring on break. September closed at
$3.50, December, 647sc; May, 67@67hc.
Cash wheat sold we'll the few cars of
old wheat going at firm prices and the
new wheat moving promptly. Old No.
brought TIC, and new No. 74@74hc.
No. 2 sold to 1870 for old, and the bulk
of it. or eight cars, went at this figure
although some sellers could only get

were more abundantly supplied with orders
