Illinois Health Board Says Cab
bage Snake Is a Myth.

Springfield, ILL.,, Jan 9.-The
reports from different parts of the
country as to the great financial
losses of gardeners, farmers and
produce merchants through the
newspaper reports of serious ill
ness and deaths due to cabbage
infested with so-called cabbage
snakes" have resulted in a state
ment issued by DR.. James A.
Egan, secretary of the Illinois
state board of health, to-day.
This statement brands all re-
ports of illness or death due to
cabbage snakes as groundless,
and holds that the presence of
cabbage worms has no deleterious
effect upon the cabbage.
"Repcrts have come to the
state board of health" says the
report, "to the effect that the
financial loss to farmers, garden
ers and produce merchants
through loss of trade on cabbage
has amounted to the enormous
sum of 5000, 900. In one city
alone the statement has been
given out that the sensational
stories of snakes in cabbage
have cost the produce men of
that city at least $4,000.
"As previously announced, the
state board of health has rigidly
investigated. through its in
spectors, every report Of sickness
or death attributed to eating cab
bage, and in each case has failed
to find the slightest ground for the
alarming stories. 1t may be
authoritatively stated that not
one death from this cause has
occurred in Illinois during the
fall and winter, and it is assumed
that similar stories emanating
from other states are likewise
groundless. No insects, worms
or other animal life which could
be in the least deleterious to
health have been found during
the investigation of the board" I"

+. c. BRoCKMEYER at the st.
James hotel in st. Louis, said he
wanted to stand by Niedringhaus.
In his State Republican he
says Niedringhaus was nominat-
ed by the "pie trust. AS for us
We would consider the support Of
such a man worse than his enmity.
The Jackson herald., 1905-01-19

NIEDRINGHAUs in a very manly
way showed that there were no
wrong appropriations during the
late Republican campaign. He
also proved that no brewer or
other member of a corporation
gave money and expected any
legislation in return through Mr..
Niedringhaus.
The Jackson herald., 1905-01-19

THIS is certainly an age of pro-
gress. Boys and girls in our
schools today go right out of the
spelling book into geometry, latin
and book keeping.
The Jackson herald., 1905-01-19

IT is to be hoped that if nothing
but investigating will do, that the
light will be turned on the DEM
ocratic state committee. If so,
our Democratic friends will get
their fill.
The Jackson herald., 1905-01-19

NIEDRINGHAUS the Republican
caucus nominee for U. S. senator,
spoke truly and rightly when ask
ed the question whether he feared
or anticipated a revolt: 81 am no
longer a factor in this thing. 1t
is a party matter. If the Repub-
lican party, through its represen-
tatives, can repudiate its caucus,
| can afford to lose the SENATOR
ship"
This is so. Ii a set of men, who
acted in Republican caucus and
stood up for their man, indicating
by their action that they would be
governed by the majority rule,
should go back on their action,
these men can not be called Re-
publicans.
The Jackson herald., 1905-01-19

THOSE old lobby Democrats at
jefferson City would like very
much to keep up strife in the
Republican ranks, but the Re-
publicans will not crafty their
expectations.
The Jackson herald., 1905-01-19

INVESTIGATION will not hurt an
honest man or party. The in
vestigation of the acts of Thos.
X. Niedringhaus as chairman of
the Republican state committee
will only make him stronger and
endear him more to the Repub-
lican party. He has proven con-
clusively to the investigating
committee that the $4,000 cred
tied to him was properly con-
tributed and was not given as a
bribe or Doodle.

THERE are SO Republicans in

assembly. Every one was pres
ent in the Republican caucus.
Every one saw Niedringhaus
grown steadily from 36 to 81
votes, and then it was made un-

can repudiate their caucus vote,
he is not worthy of the name.

To the Public.

and the urgent request of a num-
Der of my friends, l will give two
lectures on "Spiritualism" JAM
uary 80 and 81, beginning at Z
o'clock each night.
A general denial of the phe-
nomena Of spiritualism and a
disdainful refusal to investigate
upon the part of orthordox
church-people does not meet the
demand.
No fair minded person will
deny that startling phenomena
are produced in spiritualistic
scenes. The very fact that thous-
sands are being won over to the
doctrine, who are men of integ-
rity, of purpose and honest in
their belief is evidence enough
that their "test cases" are suffi-
ciently convincing. The reason
for the rapid spread of this
theory is easily explained. Any
phenomena which men cannot
explain by natural law is logic
ally attributed to an intelligent
spirit.
" hat we shall do in these two
lectures is to produce some of the
most difficult tests and then in a
scientific, simple way explain
just how they are done. | give
you a few tests which we will ex-
plain, after having produced the
startling phenomena.
A large clock dial will be
placed in full view of everyone
and the "spirits" will turn the
hands to any desired position at
the command of anyone in the
audience.
A table will not only answer
questions by traps" but at my
command will positively follow
me about the room.
Someone out of the audience
will submit to be bound hand
and foot, the knots to be securely
tied, when, 10! the spirits" un-
tie the knots and the cords fall
off.
A young man will be bound
to some object, the knots sealed
with wax. A screen Will be
placed before him for a moment,
then TO the astonishment of all,
on the removal of the screen an
other young man has taken the
place of the first, and yet no seal
has been broken-the "spirits"
or course CD do the work
You write your name and age
on a card, seal it in an envelope
and place in the drawer of a
table and lock the drawer. In a
few moments, on taking it out
you will find the name and age
written on the outside of the
envelope.
Will lock a slate in the same
drawer and the "spirits" will
write message From the Spirit
World.
Will place man in a casket
and after few strains of doleful
music, behold! only grinning
ghastly skeleton remains.
Many more tests will be ex-
posed, but these give you an idea
of the revelations which await
those who attend.
Listen! | am not going to
make these revelations simply for
notoriety or for a sensational pur-
pose, but because | believe God
and the right demand it.
These lectures will be given in
the j. NJ. A. hall on Monday and
Tuesday evening, January 30
and 81. Anyone out of town who
desires to attend will receive free
entertainment if you will write at
once and indicate your desire to
attend.
Admission will be free, but as
