The Legislative Salary Grab.

Few arguments have been advanced
IN favor of the members of the Hi
noIS legislature voting themselves an
increase in pay. The bill to increase
the pay of the members to 81, 900 each
for every regular session has passed
the house. The present pay allotted
to members is just half that amount
$1,000 per session. The principal
reason why most people oppose the
raise in pay is because few legisla-
lures have come anywhere near earn
ing their wages at the present rate
of payment out of the taxpayer's
pockets. SO, if we are to continue to
have the same kind of legislatures,
there is no doubt that they will not
be worth $4,000 per member per SEES
sion. The prediction is made that the
bill will encounter serious opposition
IN the senate, but its hackers make
the argument that the interests of
good public policy requires that the
members of the senate spare no eff
fort to secure its enactment
The Chicago Daily News makes the
argument that the present pay allot-
ted to legislators is not sufficient
Men who have the ability and charac-
ter, says the Chicago News, to make
good legislators are usually those
whom $1,000 is inadequate compensa-
ton for the time and effort required
for Legislative duties. For many of
them, it is furthermore contended. it
means a loss which $1,000 will by no
means cover. 1t cannot be doubted
that one reason why more good men
do not seek admission IN the oeparaI
= assembly is the fact that they cannot
afford to attend the duties for the
amount now paid.
1t is true, the proposed salary might
prove an incentive for more good and
able men to gain admission to the
general assembly. If it can be shown
that the measure to raise the salary
VIII give us better and more capable
legislators, it should be enacted into
law without delay. There are some
members of our present general as
sembly who are absolutely worthless.
They are not worth 81 900 a lifetime,
and if to increase the pay of legisla-
tors means to get rid of such as they
and to substitute, able. intelligent
keen business men with character and
capacity the taxpayers may see it in
a different light after a while, but
the question to be determined is
whether the price to be paid will re-
ally bring the goods. Rock Island a
few years ago raised the salary of its
mayor to $1,000 per annum in hopes
of gaining the right kind of men for
the position-but has the experiment
proven a success in every instance

KIN-TORTURED
BABIES
And Tired, Fretted
Mothers
Find Comfort in CutiCura Soap
and Ointment
When All Other Remedies and
Physicians Fail.

Instant relief and refreshing sleep
for skin-tortured babies and rest for
tired, worried mothers in warm baths
with Cuticura Soap, and gentle anoint-
ings with Cuticura Ointment, purest of
emollient skin cures, to be followed in
severe cases by mild doses of Cuticura
Resolvent Pills. This is the purest,
sweetest, most speedy, permanent and
economical treatment for torturing,
disfiguring, itching, burning, bleeding,
scaly, crusted and pimply skin and
scaly humours, with loss of hair, of in
fants and children, as well as adults,
and is sure to succeed when all other
remedies and the best physicians fail.
The agoniZing itching and burning
of the skin, as in eczema; the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair
and crusting of the scalp, as in SCALED
head; the facial Disagreement, as in
pimples and ringworm; the awful suf-
fering of infants, and anxiety of worn
out parents, as in milk crust, letter and
salt rheum, all demand a remedy of
almost superhuman virtues to success
fully cope with them. That Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Pills are such
stands proven beyond all doubt. No
statement is made regarding them that
is not justified by the strongest evil
dence. The purity and sweetness, the
power to afford immediate relief, the
certainty of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy have made them the standard
skin cures and humour remedies of the
civilized world.

GREAT PREPARATIONS AT
EAST ST. LOUIS FOR G. A. r.

Agar ago the local committee on ar
engagements were doing the strenuous
stunt in getting ready for the state
G. -. II. encampment. At the present
time they are doing the same thing
down in East st. Louis, and if reports
may be believed they are trying to
Guido this city in the matter of elab-
orateness of preparations. The en-
campment will be held May 5, 6 and z
and the East ST. Louisans say they
are going to make it the largest ever
held in the state.
Members of the executive commit
tee state that from reports received
there VIII be at least $4,000 visitors in
East ST. Louis during the encamp-
ment. 1t is figured the city will have
the largest crowd in its history, but
the arrangement committee say there
will be no trouble about entertaining
fully $4,000 people.
The decorations win be the most
gorgeous ever seen at any of the en-
campments The arcade where the
reception Will be held will fairly
blossom with flags and bunting and in
the evening with electricity. \ large

center of the rotunda, illuminated
with electric lights.
There will be twenty mammoth
arches. The largest arch win be at
the relay station. This will consist of
a group of five arches.
Prof. George Rueb will give grand
display of athletics with 200 children;
Prof VI. Edward Johnson has ar
ranged for the living flag and the
grand chorus of 5000 children. \

ferson Barracks, Mo-, with the mill
tary band, has been assigned to East
ST. Louis during the encampment. The
gunboats to be at the dedication of
the Worlds Fair, St. Louis, will re-
main until after the encampment.

Severe Attack of Grip Cured by One Bottle
of Chamberlain's Couch Remedy.

of ChamberlaIn's Cough Remedy.
"When L had an attack of the grip
last winter (the second one) L actual
ly cured myself with one bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy" says
Frank w. Perry, editor of the Enter
prise, Shortsville, n. Y. This is the
honest truth. L at times kept from
coughing myself to pieces by taking
a teaspoonful of this remedy, and
when the coughing spell would come
on at night L would take a dose and
it seemed that in the briefest inter
val the cough would pass off and /
would go to sleep perfectly free from
cough and its accompanying pains.
To say that the remedy acted as a
most agreeable surprise is putting it
very mildly. L had no idea that it
would or could knock out the grip,
simply because I had never tried it
for such a purpose, but it did, and it
seemed with the second attack of
coughing the remedy caused it to not
only be of less duration, but the pains
were far less severe. and I had not
used the contents of one bottle before
Mr.. Grip had bid me adieu." For sale

made to realize that we have beer
trying within ourselves to convert
him, and not until we are painfully
conscious of this fact, and breathe
a truly humble prayer to God for
the power of His Holy Spirit to
gather up the rays of sunlight that
cluster about His promises and CEN
ter them in the heart of the lost
man, have our difficulties been re-
moved.
If there is one fact above anoth-
er that should be impressed upon
the heart and mind of the young
christian of today, it is the neces-
sity of more prayer. In this busy
march to eternity there are so many
things to crowd our minds and
hearts, we must pray much to keep
in harmony with God.
When we have through Gods
grace overcome our own difficulties
in soul winning we have not vet
finished our work. We have the
carnal mind which is enmity against
God, to deal with and to be carnal-
ly minded is death. The love of
sin and worldly ambitions has so
deep hold on the heart of the un.
regenerated that to lead them to
Christ, they must be made to feel
that they lose nothing but gain all.
That the old life has no charm half
so sweet as the new, that cit shall
profit them nothing though they
gain the whole world and lose their
own souls"
The thoughtless, inconsistent
christian is hardly aware of the
harm he is doing. eve are living
EpiStles of Christ, read and known
of men," If our lives are not in
keeping with His, we are mere
stumbling blocks. We shall all
meet some day in a greater Rally
than this. And when the light of
eternity has fallen upon us, how
beautiful will appear the life of the
soul winner, as he sits at the Sa-
viour's feet, humbly waiting to re-
ceive a crown of reward.
Let us as young people, in high
living and noble thinking, press on
ward, striving daily to add souls to

Immediately ''heeled in" The
correct "heeling in of trees ir
this country requires that the
bundles be cut apart and the
trees buried in moist soil until,
at least, two-thirds of the stem
is covered. Dig a trench run,
ming east and west, throwing
the fresh soil out on it's south
side. If your trees were some
what dry when received, as they
are likely to be, a puddle of thin
mud should have been previous
ly made in a hole in the ground
and the bundles should have
stood with their roots in this
puddle for several hours prior
to the ''heeling in process.
Take out a bundle at a time
from the puddle, cut the strings
from around the bundle and
scatter the trees along in the
trench, leaning their tops over
on the ridge of fresh earth on
the south side of the trench.
From the north side of the first
trench, spade up the fresh soil
and cover the roots and two
thirds of the stems and tops of
the trees with this fresh soil.
Tramp the soil about the roots,
and, if the weather is dry, run
in enough water to saturate the
soil around the roots. The re
moval of the soil to cover the
first row of trees, leaves a trench
for second row. Put in an.
other row of trees and cover
these with soil in the same way,
repeating the operation until all
your trees have been bedded out
for the winter. The soil should |
be examined from time to time.
during the winter, to see if it is
becoming dry. If it shows a
tendency to become dry, turn III
two or three barrels of water to
each hundred trees, and soak the
ground thoroughly in which the
trees are buried. This kind of
irrigation is much more easily
performed than the watering of
each single tree if planted out |
in the field. The great advan-
tage of having your trees on
hand, "heeled in," is that you
are ready to plant them out
promptly in the early spring
and are not dependent upon un-
and caprices of trans
pOrtation companies.
People make a mistake by
pure hasing the largest sizes of |
trees rather than the medium
sizes. Black locust seedlings
ten to fifteen inches tall are
much preferable to trees three
feet tall. The small sized trees
cost much less than the larger,
are much more easily planted
aud are very much more certain
to live.
The most valuable forest tree
for this region is the black, or
yellow locust. Seedlings of
this species may be purchased
from relia BILE nurseries at from
- to So per thousand.
The farmers in the vicinity of
Canyon City should order trees
1T once from one reliable nur-
,ery and the stock should be
