4 GOOD MAN MENTIONED FOR

again prominently discussed as the pos
sible Democratic candidate for Mayor
In the next spring election.
No better man could be named for
the office, the only question Is would
he accept the nomination IL 1t were
rendered to him. There Is no doubt
whatever that Judge Tuley could have
been nominated and elected to the
MayOralty long ago, We're 1t not for the
fact that he preferred the dignity and
seclusion OF the judicial bench.
There are but two propositions In ref

GOOD MOVE.

The Board Of Sanitary Trustees have
made wise move In enlisting the aid
Of the State administration In the con.
test for control Of the water power
along the canal.
The Trustees have appealed to Gov.
ernor Yates for his aid in the fight.
Trustee Zina II. Carter visited the Gov.
ernor In Springfield on Wednesday and
obtained the promise Of that official to
join with the Drainage Board In an
effort to preserve the valuable right,
to the district and the State.
II has been discovered that under the
law the Drainage Board In obligated to
tsfnish certain amount Of power to
the State on the completion Of the u0.
dertaking. In order to comply with
that requirement private control Of the
water power must be avoided.

Barrett and Albert Fischell will call
upon the Judge some afternoon this
week and ask him to direct the ap-

could not be verified. The talk Of his
candidacy for Mayor was something
that Judge Tuley positively declined

our LAKE TRAFFIC.

There IL a great ado just now over
the alleged dwindling OF Chicago's
lake trafiic, and c0incidentally the ques.
ton Of the lowering Of the tunnels.
The Eagle cannot agree with much
that has been said In this regard. II
there has been permanent diminutiOn
In our lake traffic during the past two
or three years (which We doubt, En-
gineer Ernst's figures to the contrary,
Notwithstanding, what Is the cause Of
It? Surely II cannot be the tunnels.
because the tunnels have been where
they are for many years back. and
were In full force and effect ut the time
our lake traffic reached the high-water
mark quoted by the Government en-
gineer.
1t has long been apparent to thought
ful persons that the day must sooner
or later come when Chicago's shipping
would have 10 be done somewhere else
than In the little narrow creek which
sufficed for harbOr and other purposes
when this city was fourth or nth
rater.
Anybody giving the subject any
thought must have arrived at the con-
clusion that nature never intended, nor
could even the ingenuity OF man main
tain, such little stream as the sum
cient medium for the shipping OF one
Of the greatest ports In the world. IL
has been long apparent that South Chi
cago, now part Of our own city and
municipality, was destined to become
the center Of all shipping, and that II
will become so Is the abiding convic-
ton OF most thinking people In this
city. Public health, public convenience,

At the pleasant home OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Freeman on the evening
Of Nov. 7, 1902, occurred a very
pleasant home party, the occasion

beautiful pieces Of hand painted
china. The evening was spent in
social games and listening to q
graphophone. A bountiful supper
was served the guests and all enjoyed
themselves to Its fullest possible ex.

Poster were married at the BRIDES

DafOdiIs,

Among the spring flowers nont is so
welcome as the daffodil, that with its
rich yellow and green makes a vivid
spot at the corner flower stands. The
ancient Greeks held these blooms In
high esteem and a crown Of the golden
blossoms woven in honor of the gods
was placed upon the heads of the
dead.
1t was said that Prosperplne was
gathering daffodils when she was car
ried off by Pluto, and for that reason
this gay flower became the symbol Of
death. Homer spoke Ill Of It and de-
clared stupor, madness and death were
Its attributes.
Daffodil is a corruption Of affodllly,
which Is derived from Asphodelus Its
other name Is narcissus and the legend
Of the latter name Is well known-how
Narcissus, for whom a nymph died,
was punished by seeing his own face
in a pool of water and becoming so
infatuated with it that he was SPELL
found to the spot till he pinned away
and died and was changed into the
flower that bears his name to-day.
The old poets were fond of the daft
fodil. Wordsworth's verses are fimil-
lar to most people and Herrlck's songs
testify to the attention that has been
paid to this pretty blossom.

GIVES VITALITY, vIG0R AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND
RUNDOWN WOMEN.

1t is maintained by many distin-
guished writer's that the greatness OF
a nation depends much upon the
physical condition Of its women.
The general conditions which con.
tribute to health and long life, are
those which do not imply rapid and
unequal exhaustion Of those powers
BY which life is maintained. While
we assert that the women Of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the
virtues that make them lovable, We
cannot hide the fact that there are
thousands in our midst who, owing
to overwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion Of life
power, have become weak, nervous,
sleepless and debilitated.
We bring to the attention Of oil
weary, respondent, hopeless, and
sickly women earth's great rescuer
and health-builder, Paine's Celery
Compound. Thousands Of healthy
women around US owe their present
vigor, activity, and robustness to

The two following cases would be
difficult to surpass. One was In Eng
land, the other In Australia. Some time
ago marriage took place in Birming'
ham which brought about a very
complicated state Of family rela-
tons. The woman had been married
three times before, and each
time had taken for her husband
a widower with children. Her fourth
husband was wldower, and as he
had children by his first wife, who
was herself a widow with children
when he married her, the newly-mar-
ried couple started their matrimonial
companionship with a family COM
posed Of the progeny of eight previous
marriages.
Another curious case was that Of
DR.. King of Adelaide, widower, who
married a Miss Norris. Shortly after
the doctors honeymoon the doctors
son married a sister of the doctors
wife. Then a brother Of the doctors
wife married the doctors daughter.
In other words, the doctors son be-
came his step-mother's brother-ln-law,
and the doctors daughter became hel
stepmother's sister-in-law. The doc
tor, by the marriage of his son to the
sister of the doctors wife. became
father-in-law to his sister-in-law, and
the doctors wife, by the marriage Of
her sister to her step-son, became step
mother-in-law to her own sister. BY
the marriage of the brother of the doc.
tors wife to the Doctors daughter the
doctor became father-in-law to his
brother-in-law, and the doctors wife
became step-mother-in-law to her own
brother. 1t is an unsolved problem as
to what relationship the children Of
the contracting parties are to each
other.

SERIOUS SWINE SHORTAGE.
Dry Season Of 1901 Responsible fol
Scarcity Of Hogs in West.

There is serious shortage Of hogs
in Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri,
which will have strengthening In
Auence on the market for some months
to come. The dry season Of 1901,
the scarcity Of feed and the resultant
high price Of hogs have resulted in a
vast number Of brood sows being sent
out OF the corn belt and a consequent
depletion Of the visible supply Of

Preseason J. D. Graham, formerly
connected with the Kansas State Ag-

now editor Of the Kansas Farmer, at
Topeka, says that in the states and
territory mentioned there will be an
unprecedented demand for breeding
hogs for the next eighteen months.
