AMEND WENT HAS SHORT LIFE
RecOnsidered and Laid on the Table After
Another Plea by Sherman.

Remembered and Laid on the Table After
Another Plea by Sherman.
barrow offered an amendment strik-
ing out the section making the viola
ton of the rules of the commission a
misdemeanor punishable by fine or i'm
prisonment He said that nobody
ought to be fined or imprisoned for an
Offense not described in the statutes.
This was adopted. Davis then moved
a reconsideration of the vote by which
the amendment placing the veterans of
the Spanish-American war on the pre-
ferred list for appointments was adopt
ed. He said that he voted for this
amendment in spirit of admiration
for the veterans of this war, but that
he was now satisfied that it would i'm
peril the passage of the bill.
The motion to reconsider was carried
by vote of 81 to 81, and Church then
moved to lay the amendment on the
table, and upon this question Sherman
took the boOr and made a strong plea
for civil service reform in general.
You had just us well strike out the
enacting words of the bill" said Sher-
man, las TO adopt this amendment.
As to the gentlemen OH this
side of the house, let me suggest to you
once for all that this queS-
ton has reached the stage in Illinois
that will no longer bear triftiing with;
that the work of this day Will sink
deeply nthe foundation of the party
to which we belong; that the time has
arrived when Juggling with bills. when
trifiing with the consciences of men
upon this subject, has ceased"
He called attention to the plank in
the Republican state platform, and said
the origin of the bill had no Influence
with him: he was for civil service re-
form. THE time is come in the develop
Inent of this question when the civil
service of the state is not longer to he

mate ends. l blame no one; criticise
no one. l simply refer to the infamous
system so we'll known; l refer to the )

loyalty and personal principle; to gov
ernmental results. l speak of these re-
suits as a relic of barbarism and n
damnable disgrace to the state of Hi
nois and shameless stigma to the Re
publican party of the state"
Sherman closed his speech as fol-
lows. referring to the men benefited
by the amendment: "These men. even
though some of them are veterans of
the civil war. some of them veterans of
the Spanish war--these veterans ought
not to be used as instrumental to beat
down the means of support by any 3

of public accounts and the employees
of the park system i'll Chicago from
the operation of the bill. Shanahan
objected TO the amendment and said
he could see no reason why these en-
ployes should be exempted. IF civil
service is good thing for one de-
partment," Shanahan said. lit is a
good and useful thing for every de

Patterson Qtep.) said that he had
heard arguments for exempting the
secretary of states office and the au-
ditor'S Office. but never in favor of
exempting the park employees of Chi

CHURCH FAIR TO BE BARRED
Bloomington Man Who Is Going to Re-
form the Christians.

Springfield, Ills, March 11.-And
now the church fair, the enticing raf
fie, and the policy game are to come
under the ban of the Illinois legisla-
ture. Senator Stubblelield, of Bloom
ington, who is distinguished as the
only man who was really for the re-
election of senator Mason, presented
n bill yesterday absolutely forbidding
all such games of chance. The bill
enumerates particularly all raffies,
drawings of letters or numbers from
hats. grab bags, wheels and other APP
pliances commonly used to determine
the ownership of articles, money, or
other valuable things.
Should his bill become a law raf-
f1es for turkeys in saloons on Thanks
giving eve would be the limit of law
lessness and church fairs would have
to go out of business. The real oO-
ject of the bill, however. is to stop
policy playing. Under n section of
the bill all such lotteries. or drawings.
are forbidden under severe penalties.
Stubblefield says the bill is his own
idea drawn 1T the solicitation of the
people of bloomington, who it seems
have been overrun with church fairs,
rallies and policy players. The bill
was sent to the committee on ju-
dietary.

Severe Attack of Grip Cured by One Bottle

of ChamberIain'H Cough Remedy.
"When l had an attack of the grip
last winter (the second one) l actual
~ cured myself with one bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy" says
Frank w. Perry, editor of the Enter
prise, Shortsville, \. Y. This is the
honest truth. | at times kept from
coughing myself to pieces by taking
teaspoonful of this remedy, and
when the coughing spell would come
ON at night l would take dose and
it seemed that in the briefest inter
val the cough would pass off and l
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. I had no idea that il
would or could knock out the grip,
simply because l had never tried ii
for such 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 / had not
used the contents of one bottle before
Mr. Grip had bid me adieu." For sale

beaverton offered an amendment
providing that the veterans of the war
of the rebellion who are now i'm the

positions they now hold without exam
ination and reappointment. Rinaker
suggested that the amendment Include
also the veterans OF the Spanish-Ame

scented. On the adoption of this amend
mcnt Il roll call was demanded. Sher-
man, explaining his vote. said: There
were nine regiments sent out from the
state of Illinois to the Spanish Ameri-

be about 5000 male citizens of this
state These are enough to fill all the
civil appointments in Illinois for the
next quarter of century.
