"a Careless Bunch.''

The Decatur Review, republican at
that, reflects public sentiment when it
says, under the caption, "A Careless
Bunch:
Lieut.. Gov. Northcott wonders why
the telephone and telegraph com
panies could not reach him at Green
vile Saturday night to inform him
of the troubles at Danville North
colt has started an investigation and
says he learned that the messages
never got as far as Greenville.
The messages were headed that
way, however. 1t seems the town
could not be reached. There was an
effort to get NOrthcott just as soon as
it was learned that John ID. OgIesby,
private secretary to the governor,
was not in Springfield. But nobody
could get Greenville; the town had
gone to bed. What did Northcott
mean by going to bed in such a town
while the governor was out of the
state?
THE governor, of course. was away,
but that has been the situation with
him a good part of the time since his
election. Here we were with all kinds
of trouble boiling in the state and not
able to get hold of a state official with
authority to act. Springfield papers
report that finally the order for the
MALTA to go forward had to be given
by Private Secretary Oglesby, and
from Kankakee.
1T was a poor showing made by n
bunch of men who are paid to be at
their places, or to see TO it that some
one is there for them"
And to this the Springfield News,
also republican, adds: at is safe to
say that if the matter at issue had
been the buying up of county con-
vention anywhere the authorities in
question would not have been found
wanting"

Mr.. RooseveIt's Anxieties.

Nearly year will elapse before
the republican convention will meet
but the presidential campaign is I'M
der full Roadway, and is conducted
from headquarters at Sycamore Hill.
There is nothing but presidential
campaign to take all. the republican
leaders there when nothing is going
on in politics, above ground, and when
the statesmen would much rather be
in Europe, or fishing, or otherwise
harmlessly employed. AS to the char
acter of the leading business the
president is transacting, the pub
lie is not obliged to rely
wholly on differences. Occasionally
a visiting statesman is frank enough
to tell what he and the president have
been talking about
After leaving Sycamore Hill Titus
Sheard communed with the re-
pOrters and told them that the presi-
dent was anxious about New York
next year. If Mr.. Sheard told him
what he told the reporters he must
have preceptibly increased the anxi-
ETY.. He said the president would car
ry the state by majority of at least
as large as that of Gov. Odell last fall.
But O'delfs majority was only about
5000, and considering the size of the
vote his victory was little better
than scratch. The significance of
this estimate was at once appreciated
by Senator Plat, who was at Oyster
Bay Sunday and was asked by the re-
porters what he thought of Mr.
Sheard's estimate, and he said that if
he did not believe Mr.. Roosevelt could
do better than that he would have a
fit.
Mr.. Platt does not have fits in pub
lie and his judgment may concur with

REAL SENSIBLE IDEA.
T. Ii. Thomas Calls Plan of Selling MI-o-na
the Flesh Forming Food the Only
Fair One.

L. II. Thomas, the reliable drug
gist, has been in the drug business
long enough to have his own opinion
as to the best way of selling medi-
cines. He says the plan adopted for
Mona, the. wonderful fiesh-forming
food and cure for dyspepsia. is the
faircst he has ever heard of.
He does not believe that Il medicine
ought to be paid for unless it does
the user some good. and Mona is
sold under 4 positive guarantee to
refund the money unless it builds up
good, solid flesh and cures dyspepsia
and all stomach troubles.
Mi-o-na is not simply food digest
err; it mingles with the food and helps
it to asSimilate. 50 as to nOurish and
build up good, healthy flesh. 1t
strengthens the digestive organs and
puts them in normal condition and
gives ruddy, glowing, vigorous health.
y change for the better in the gen
eral health will be seen from the first
few deses of Mona and an increase
of weight will be noticed after il has
been used for a week or 10 DAYS.
Those who take these health-giving
tablets will soon have the power to
eat anything at any time and suffer
no distress afterwards.
Mi-o-na is the only preparation of
the kind upon the market, that is sold
under a signed guarantee from one of
the most reputable concerns in Rock
Island. to refund the money if it does
not give satisfaction. 7. ii. Thomas
takes all the risk when Mi-o-na is
used. This is the strongest testimony
that can be offered to the real value
Of Mi-o-na.

Remarkable activity in a gentleman
of 9S is shown by Benjamin Warner,
who lives at Putnam, Conn. He main
tains all his faculties except slight
deafness and, moreover, enjoys life
very serenely. Last week he journey
ed from Putnam to Providence unat-
tended for the purpose of visiting
friends. In the active years of his life
Mr.. Warner was a tanner. trader and
real estate dealer. knowledge of cir
cumstances that contributed to his
notable longevity are lacking, but he
is member of long-lived family. His
father, who died 40 years ago, was 81
years old when he passed away.

final attempt is being made to
take former Gov. W. S. Taylor from
Indiana on requisitiOn papers to Ken
lucky to stand trial in connection
with the death of Gov. William Goe-
bel, and to secure the conviction of
Caleb Powers, former secretary of
state. T. c. Campbell, of New York,
who has had charge of the prosecu-
ton of Goebers alleged assassins. will
try to obtain from Gov. Beckham. of
Kentucky. a requisition upon Gov.
Durbin, of Indiana. to surrender Tay-

Should this plan fail, Col. Campbell
says that he will seek a mandamus

that of Mr.. Sehard, though profession
al considerations restrain him from
speaking out. He is still practicine
politics and must have a regard to his
business interests, while Mr.. Seard
has retired and is comparatively free
to talk as he thinks. Odell beat can
didate who was weak in the upper
part of the state and was personally
strong in New York city. He rolled
up an enormous vote there simply be-
cause the party had got together. If
he had not shown good degree of
strength. in the upper part of the
state Odell would have been beaten
by very heavy vote.
The president understands this. No
man can understand it better than
the long experienced Senator Platt
The democratic party is fast getting
together. There is no real danger
now that Organism will control the
next democratic convention and with
Organism eliminated there will be
no danger of any democratic division
or evenindifference or apathy. With the
democratic party united and no men,
ace of populism, New York is good
deal more likely to support the dem
Ocratic than the republican ticket,
and Influences that control the New
York ticket, and the influences that
control New York are likely to con-
troll the adjoining states of New Jer-
seN and Connecticut
Even if the president shall adhere
TO his determination to call congress
together in November there can be no
financial legislation till after another
crop gathering season. and if the
stringencY should be severe it would
not help the chances of the party
which refused remedial legislation last
falls experience gave.
Senator Hanna is looking for some
candidate other than Mr. Roose-
welt. He is not Il gentleman who trav-
els alone. Wherever he is there is Il
solid mass of political and business
interests. The postoffice scandal will
be load upon the party. for it is now
too late to get the rascalS punished
and the matter forgotten before the
selection of delegates begins.
The rough-rider and cowboy racket
has been played; but while it evoked
loud applause, there are two indica-
tons that its real value is slight Sena-
tor Warren, of Wyoming reported dis
satisfaction in the far west with the
timber land policy of the administra-
ton, though he prOfessed to
be strong Roosevelt sup
porter himself. With far more
candor eX-GOv. Murphy. of Ari-
IONA, said the other day that the
east was making Il mistake in
counting on the full strength of the
western vote in convention to nomi-
nate him. (the president) and there
will be one of the bitterest fights in
the next convention that ever took
place If the fight be not made at
the convention it will surely come at
the election following"

The Jersey County News, a paper
esta blished some four months ago by
some democrats who could not con-
troll the policy of the Jersey County
Democrat, has suspended publication,
and has sold its subscription list TO
the Jerseyville Republican. As the
Springfield Register remarks, it is up
hill business for a newspaper start ed
on fractional lines or for personal rea-
sons to secure sufficient patronage
from an old established and reliable
journal of its own party to injure the
old paper or to sustain the new.
There are not many people who SYM
pathize with grievances that do not
include bedrock principles. ]. NJ.
Page, editor of the Jersey County
Democrat, has edited and published
his paper fer many years in a manner
satisfactory to the ma iority of the
democrats of old Jersey; and while
he has met with personal antagOn-
isms. some of them perhaps having
foundation, he has kept his paper free
from entangling alliances and made it
an exponent of democratic principles.
The News was started under favor
able auspices, but it was soon dem
onstrated that there was not room
for two democratic papers in Jersey
county, and the old established one
naturally has survived.

for n Fancy Lot Of Tobacco.
