bounty on Births.

The bounties on births in the. state,
provided by law of the previous
legislature, but which was inopera-
tive through the failure to make any
appropriation on the matter, are re-
vived and reenacted in a new law,
which commands the bounties to be
paid out of the treasury of each coun-
ty to the person reporting the said
birth. A similar bounty of - cents
is to be paid TO physicians and mid
wives for each report of a death.
Reports of death are in future to be
made direct to the state board of
health.
In reference to the administration
of estates a new act has been passed
changing the time for administr atiep
from one TO Two years.
A new amendment to the local inn
provcment acts of 1897 is considered
very important in towns outside of
Chicago. Under this amendment the
power is given to boards of local inn
provement in cities of less than 10000
to originate absolutely anything in
the form of local improvements. For
other places n petition is required.
The effect of this law is to place all
towns within the scope of the amend
ment on the same footing as Chicago
and Cook county in the important
matter of carrying out local improve
ments.
In the matter of legal conveyances
an important new act makes legal
certain defects in Acknowledgements.
One of the very best of the new
laws is designed to correct the dila-
tory tactics by which litigants in jus
tice courts have been Inconvenience
and harassed for years. Under the
old law it was simply impossible to
force or compel justice of the peace
to try a case. But under the law as
| it is to stand after today an outside
| Justice can be called upon to try the
case In other words, if the justice
on whose docket the case happens to
be entered is unable or unwilling to
GO on with the case it can be taken
by the defendant or the complainant
20 another Justice and the harassing
delays. known as 'scontinuances," be
eliminated from the justice shops.
There is a new mechanics lien law.
One of its principal changes or effects
is to enable a contractor whose con-
tract is of the poorly drafted kind.
known as "bobtail contracts" to go
ahead with his work with just as
much security as if his contract was
drafted by the highest paid legal tai
ent in the land.

In Favor of Colored Man.

1t is an interesting fact that the
hardships of the "colored brother"
almost invariably engage the atten-
ton of the lawmakers in the several
state assemblies of Illinois. In the
past the state legislators have pass
ed laws giving to the colored people
the full and equal enjoyment Of all
rights granted to others at hotels and
restaurants. This time the legisla-
tors undertook to do away with dis
elimination against the colored race
in the renting of hearses and car
riages for funerals, so that the col
ored brother can now have the proper
kind of burial and cannot be refus-
ed "a last ride in any hearse of any
undertaken or Iiveryman in the state
of Illinois.

How to Break Up n Cold.

It may be a surprise to our readers to
learn that a severe cold can in many in
stances be completely broken up in one or
two days time. To do this, however,
prompt action is necessary. The first symp-
toms OF a cold are a dry, loud cough, a pro-
fuse watery discharge from the nose, and
n thin, white coating on the tongue. II
Chamberlain Cough Remedy is taken in
double doses every hour after the first ap-
pearance of'these symptoms II will counter
act the effect of the cold and restore the
system to a healthy condition within one
or two days time, In almost every case.
and when the cold is not completely cured
in this time, its severity will be greatly
lessened and a complete cure insured in a
very short time. When no action toward
curing the cold is taken, the dry, loud
cough is followed by a profuse watery ex-
pectoratiOn, and that by a difficulty In
breathing. & peculiar tightness Of the chest
and a slight expectoration OF very tough
and tenacious mucus. Few persons pay
any attention TO a cold until in this condi-
ton, that is, until the cold has become
settled in the system. The first action
| should be to relieve the lungs. This is best
accomplished by the free use OF Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. This remedy llqui.
fes the tough mucus and causes its expul.
sion from the air cells Of the lungs, pro-
duces a free expectoration and opens the
secretions. A complete cure soon follows
In some cases, however, several days are
required, but the experience Of thousand:
Of persons IN the use OF this remedy ha:
been that II will cure a severe cold in Less
time than any other treatment and that II
leaves the system in a natural and healthy
condition.

all the issues Of those campaigns, for the
good Of the party now let his dissent oe

in the fight for democratic principles,
The trust question is big in the public
mind and will probably be bigger yet when
the next battle is fought for the presidency
and the control of the lower house OF con-
gress. The republican party has not dealt
honestly with the trust problem; II cannot

cratic party must grapple with the trusts,

but ever living tariff question. Why should
the tariff continue to create and shelter
so raany trusts? No honest Industry. no
honest man need fear revision. None but
those whose ways are meanly. selflsh ana
whose purposes are unpatriotic need OPP

for us in 1904. What thoughtful man can
doubt that he must be one who was in
the democratic column in SO and again IN
1900? This is not only Justice, but II Is

to heal sores, not to tear open old WOUNDS;
Let us invite recruits to join the party, and
not do anything in folly or bitterness to

WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY

Prior 10 an interesting program OF pa
pers and music contributed by the art de-
partment. the Woman's club. at yesterdays
regular meeting. agreed upon q precedent
in the construction OF certain clauses OF
the bylaws bearing upon succession and &C
cession in ONCE, and determined that the
S204 Melted by the Crosby Wagner lecture
~recitals should 20 into the general fund and
not into a special fund.
When Mrs. w. W. Keysor. president Of
the club, removed to St. Louis last fall
Mrs. F. H. Cole. first vice president, sue
ceeded her in the chair, and then there
arose a question as to whether Mrs. Cole
had become president and left the first vice
presidency a vacant ONCE. Article viii Of
the bylaws reads Vacancies in ONCE shall
be filled by persons appointed by the sK-
ecutive committee, to serve until the next
annual meeting" but this provision was
confusing rather than helpful TO the club,
and the question has remained an open one
during all these months, though doubt as
to Mrs. Coles status was removed by an
action Of the club formally %electing her TO
the presidency.
To dispose Of the question, the constitu-
ton committee was asked to elucidate the
bylaw and give construction to the unwrit-
ten law Of the club. 1t was the response
to his appeal that Mrs. l. r. Andrews.
chairman Of the constitution committee,
made yesterday when she submitted a report
giving II as the committees finding that
the office Of first vice president does be-
come vacant when the incumbent thereof is
called to the presidency permanently under
the circumstances prevailing last fall Mrs.
Andrews, after submitting the committees
report. moved that the unwritten law be in
terpreted thus, and her motion carried
without dissenting voice. This establishes
precedent for future emergencies, but does
not affect this one now, as Mrs. George
Thompson already has been appointed to
the first vice presidency by the executive
committee.
Mrs. Andrews, for her committee. re-
ported also the proper construction Of an
amendment to the bylaws which changes
article Wilt to make an exception OF the
office Of president. Upon motion OF Mrs.
Towle the report was adopted and the by
laws In consequence now stand in altered
form.

It was the disposition OF the 1904 netted
by Mrs. William Crosby's recent Wagner
lecture r~ecitals that gave the MEMBERS Of
the club their most fertile topic for debate
yesterday afternoon. The report OF the
committee showed that S66 course tickets
and ffty-nine single tickets had been sold.
S2O5.75 paid for Mrs. Crosby's services, ad-
vertising and other needs, and S2O4.5O left
as profit. With two dissenting, the com
mittee had voted TO recommend TO the club
that this amount be set apart for musical
and literary purposes, or for the purchase
Of a statue. other propositions had been
before the committee as amendments to this
proposition, but all had been lost.
Mrs. Charles Rosewater OF the commit
tee defended its recommendation, but Mrs.
Dumont expressed herself as opposed TO the
setting aside Of club money for any special
fund, and Mrs. W. r. Hartford took the
same ground. Mrs. Andrews was for in
sorting the word educational" in the stip-
ulative clause. Others spoke briefly. when
they could get an opening, and the debate
grew to considerable length. Finally the
dation was put, but there was a chorus Of
both ayes and nays and President Cole had
TO request a rising vote. Twenty-Five
stood for the recommendation, but when
the opponents arose II was so obvious that
the outnumbered the champions that the
motion was declared lost without complet-
ing the counting. and the money will go
into the general fund. The committe had
wanted it as a working basis for future
undertakings.
