zEMsTvO, WHAT WORD MEANS
1t Is Board of Supervisors. Power
Being Limited.

Zemstvo, the Russian word, has ap-
peared in the papers very much within
the last few weeks, because of the pO-
litical agitation in Russia, and has no
doubt caused many a discriminating
reader to consult the unabridged. Still,
there are possibly many other persons
who have run across the word, who
have Calculated" that ZemstvO means
something which baffied our English
system of derivatives.
The Standard dictionary has the fol-
lowing to say of this word: ZEN
styO, Zems'tvo, noun, Russian), a Rus
sian elective provincial assembly, COM
posed of landed proprietors and repre-
sentatives of the artisans and peas
ants. They impose local taxes, regu-
late matters of education, public
health. roads. and the like, and form a
sort of local board corresponding to
the municipal board or assembly called
duma, but practically have little indie
pendent authority, There is one in
each district and another for the prov
ince."
Briefly, the ZemstvO is board of
supervisors, a board of aldermen after
a Russian fashion, but it's powers are
very limited, and the trouble in Russia
at present is largely due to the effort
which is being made by the radical
faction to give the Zemstvos the power
of self-government

PRECIPITATION VERY LIGHT
Some Features Of the Weather in Till
nois During December.

Precipitation much below the seas
onal average was the feature of the
climatic and crop conditions of the
state in December. according to- the
monthly bulletin of the weather bu-
reau. The bulletin says:
There was an average daily de-
fciency in temperature of about de-
grees until the 22nd, and an average
daily excess of about degrees from
the 22nd to the 9th. A severe cold
wave, accompanied by high west
erly wind, reached the state on the
morning of the 9th; and temperature
near zero in the northern part of the
state and above 10 above in the south
ern. obtained until the 2Sth when it
became decidedly warmer.
Except in the southern counties,
where toward the end of the month.
beneficial rains occurred. precipitation
was much below the seasonal average.
The development of wheat was re-
tarded by extremely dry conditions
during October and November. 1t had
little snow protection during the
month. and. though the rains toward
the latter part were of great benefit.
the sudden change to very low tenn
peratures on the 9th and 29th found
the plant weak and small. and not
in good condition to Withstand, unpro-
tected. the severe cold. 1t is feared
that some injury has ensued. but its ex-
tent at present cannot be estimated.
Corn is practically all in crib, and
much has. been marketed during the
month. Notwithstanding the dry
weather pasturage remained fair until
late in the month. Rye and fall grown
grasses and clover have not made
satisfactory growth. Fruit trees are
in good condition. Potatoes are keep
ing well. but there is much complaint
that apples are rotting in storage.
Live stock is reported TO be healthy
in all sections. except some cases OF
hog cholera in Greene, Dewitt and
Gallatin counties.

Ferry at campbeIrs Island.

The Mississippi Valley Traction COM
pany, of Moline. and the 1. & l. Railway
company, of Davenport, are in all
probability working hand in hand for
it is understood that negotiations are
on to make arrangements providing
flor ferry to ply between Bettendorf
and CampbelIs island during the sum-
mer months, when the island is a mec-
ca for citizens seeking pleasure. Capt.
James p. Pearson will probably use his
boat for the transportation of the
Iowans from the western terminal of
the Iowa interurban at Bettendorf to
the island. Davenport people have not
wanted to come to the island so much
last summer for the simple reason it
took to long a time to come to Moline
and to take the interurban, but under
the proposed plan they can come and
go to the island in about the same
time as Moline or Rock Island people
can come to this resort.

Never before probably in the history

ushered in with more noise and jol-
lily than the present one of 1905. At
the midnight hour the factory whistles
in the city were turned loose and sent
their shrill piercing sounds all over
the city. Added to this was the firing
of guns and pistols and the jolly
shouting OF the populace that thronged
the street at that hour. The l. K I.
in-erurban was passing west on Third
street at the time and its compressed
air whistles were let loose and made
noise that could be heard many

the defendants. The suit is friendly
one and is brought purposely 10 protect
the sisters from any claim that one
John Moliski. OF Pana. Ill. may have
upon the child. The father asked for
the writ on the ground that the child
has been illegally placed at the home
by John Moliski, her uncle. The faith
er alleges that he left the child tenn
porarily in the charge of the aunt
at Pana. Ill. and that the uncle without
any consent of his took the child to st.
Vincents. Judge Bollinger heard the
evidence and at once ordered the writ
to issue restoring the child TO her

The Vital Question
Most Names by Which Diseases Are
Known Are Merely Technical Terms
to Distinguish Slight Differences.

Chronic maladies are due to two
conditions: First, to poor blood and
disordered circulation; second. to
lack of nervous force and unequal dis
tribution of il. In other words, we
may look to the blood and nerves for
most of the lingering ills that weaken,
plague or wreck human kind. This
explains why DIR. Chases Blood and

Since taken to the hospital Bloom
has been in a unconscious condition

much hopes held out for his recov-
cry. Bloom struck his head in falling
on the frozen ground, which is proba-
bly, the cause of his condition.
