TO RIrsH CIrRAN TREATY.

WASHINGTON, November 13.-Gen-
eral Tasker H. Bliss will sail for Cuba
Saturday if he can secure steamship ac-
commodations. If not he will go by
way of Tampa and reach Havana early
next week. 1t is the intention of those
interested in the commercial treaty
with Cuba to have it ready If possible
in three weeks and General Bliss will
endeavor to adjust the differences by
that time. 1t is considered important
to have the treaty sent to the Senate
before the holiday recess. 1t will re-
quire a two-thirds vote to ratify the
treaty, and a determined minority in
the Senate could postpone action on it
for some time.

CONTEMPT MATTER
BEFORE JUDGE GEAR
COURT WILL RULE ON MONDAY.
AUSTIN TRYING TO GET ORDER
ENFORCED.

In the hearing of the contempt pro-
ceedings against High Sheriff Brown
and Deputy Auditor Meyers this morn
ing, Judge Gear intimated that he
would hold that the appeal to the Su-
preme court from his writ of mandamus
did not stay the writ This would
mean that the writ is alive yet, and in
the event of the court making such n
ruling Brown and Meyers would be
again ordered to allow Austin to take
charge of the audit office.
a. @. M. Robertson, counsel for Aus
tin, pressed the matter for immediate
hearing and presented many arguments
in favor of the view that the writ could
not be Interrupted by an appeal. Judge
Gear will rule on Monday morning.
When the hearing of the case began
Austin was present, seated by the side
of Deputy Auditor Meyers. Just be-
hind sat b. II. Wright and Immediately
behind the latter Superintendent of
Public Works James H. Boyd held down
the end of a bench. There was not
much conversation among the various
officials who sat so close together and
Wright and Boyd did not appear to be
acquainted at all.
Deputy Attorney General Cathcart
claimed that the respondents had never
been legally served with the writ is
sued by Gear and he filed affidavits by
both Brown and Meyers to the effect
that they had no knowledge of the fact
that a writ had been issued. Robert
son declared that this statement was
not true, wherupon Cathcart explained
that neither of the respondents had seen
the original writ and all they knew of 1t
was that c. w. Ashford had served
them with what he declared was a
certified copy of a writ issued by Gear
They were not compelled to obey it
was contended, unless shown the ORR
ginal writ and served by an officer OF
the court.
The High Sheriff was called to the
stand, and testified that the reason he
had not objeyed the writ was because
he had been informed that an appeal
had been taken. Meyers also testified
admitting that he had refused to obey
the writ. His refusal was based upon
the advice of Cathcart.
Judge Gear raised the question of
whether an appeal would stay the writ
at all. C'athcart said that a senate
committee had sent for him and wanted
a postponement to prepare argument on
this question, but the court refused,
and went ahead with the argument,
Robertson objecting to further delay.

TEACHERS TO MEET AT
SPRINGFIELD NEXT WEEK

County Supt. 5. J. Ferguson has re
ceived printed programs for the 10Th
annual meeting of the Illinois State
Teachers association, which will be
held at Springfield i'm the state CAPT
tol building, Dec. %. 50 and 81. The
general meetings viii be held in the

ton meetings viii be divided up in the
various chambers of the building.

president of the high school section.
For the first time in the history of
the association the railroads inter
ested have agreed to allow the teach
ers Il rate of.onc fare to and from the
meeting. This was brought about by
Il stand taken by the executive COM
mittee, which decided that if the
above rate could not be secured the
meeting would be taken TO some city
where it could be obtained, as for in
stance. to Chicago. The railroads
yielded rather than lose the business.

Is Desired Here

1t is the last named reform that is
of particular interest here. Supt.
Ferguson has been a believer in this
system for several years and two
years ago he succeeded in getting the
matter agitated in several of the
townships of the county. 1t was then
believed that at the meeting of the
Legislature following Il law would be
PASSED providing for consolidation.
But the measure was vetoed by Gov.
Yates after passing both houses. and
the chief executive claims to have
been moved to take the step by Il
rider" that bad been saddled upon
the bill. Since that time il has been
useless to agitate the matter among
the districts. but nevertheless there
has been Il growth of sentiment in
favor of the system, and if a law is
passed at the next session of the leg
iSlature, as the educators of the state
now feel confident, it Will not he long
before many townships will avail
themselves of the provisions of the
measure. Several townships in this
county viii probably be among the
first to do so.

How to Prevent Crnnn.

1t will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign of
Group is hoarseness. a day or two be-
fore the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by n
peculiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy as soon as the
child becomes hoarse, or even after
the rough cough appears, and it will
dispel all symptoms of Group. In this
way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by
many thousands of mothers and has
never been known to fail. 1t is, in

be depended upon and that is pleas

of the teachers salary, and so on, till
now i'm many cities and number OF

viously pointed out, it only remains
to enact Il law providing for the

~. The consolidated school brings

20. The larger number of children
ana regular attendance will make
