New York, June 1S.-That Italian

is characteristic of the Italian immi-

that is almost incredible. The padrone
has practically instituted slave sys-

by an EXPLOSION.

Charles Goethe, druggist Of Alli-

juries received by the explosion of
bottle of turpcntine on June 4. Mr..
Goethe was opening bottle contain
ing turpentine and allowed few
drops of the fluid to come in contact
with the flame of gasoline stove.
There was an explosion and the bot
tie was shattered and the burning
fluid thrown over Goettle's face and
hands. The fire spread to his clothing
and he undoubtedly would have been
burned to death had not bystander
named Leverich torn off his coat and
wrapped it about the blazing man,
thus smothering the flames. Goettle's
injuries were at the time said to be
serious, but not fatal. He grew stead
lily worse, however, and finally died.
He was young man and had been
married just four weeks.

MAY KEEP FEES IN ILLINOIS
STATES ATTORNEYS ENrrrLE1
TO EMoLUMENrs
Supreme Court Holds Cook County Of
fcials in Same Glass with
Others in the State.

Springfield, ILL.,, June 16.-The hi.
. .nois supreme court Thursday night
handed down a decision in the Healy
fee case in which the finding of the
lower court Is sustained. This de-
cision will permit States Attorney
Healy, Of Cook county, to collect fees
on cases tried by him and Gov. De-
neen to retain those collected during
his term as Cook county states attor-
1ey.
The effect of the opinion will be to
stop the movement to dispossess Gov.
Deneen Of something like $3.50, 900 said
to have, been collected by him during
two terms of four years each as prose
cutting attorney in the county of Cook.
The supreme court declares uncon-
stftutional section two of the act Of
1901, which undertook to fix the salary
OF the states attorney in Cook county
at 100000 year.
The court holds that the officer is
entitled to the same salary, fees and
emoluments paid to states attorneys
IN other counties.
The court admits that the practice
Of permitting the states attorney to
retain the fees is in conflict with what
appears to be the general purpose Of
the constitution.
The supreme court also handed
down a decision in the Hudleson will
case which has been prominently men,
toned Of late in connection with the
recent Illinois supreme court "mys-

Eleven people, five Of them from

in all cases were confined to minor
cuts and bruises, and will probably
have 40 serious results. The injured
are:
Mrs. M. Donelly, Des Moines, pas
senger on westbound train, bruise on
head.
Miss Donelly, Des Moines, passen-

Mrs. D. Duffin, Des Moines, passen-

An English authority says that the
quality of written and spoken English
in the United States is deteriorating.
Perhaps we do not drop III his and
describe everything that pleases us as
''bloody." thus lowering the quality ma
terially and sadly. but if the quality is
low just pause a moment to think how
we make up in quantity.
In our political campaigns there is
sometimes SO much language thrown
about the hall where Il meeting is be-
ing held that the ~janitor has to hire
help to sweep it out next day. Ses-
sions of congress and the legislatures
do their share toward adding to the
total volume, TO say nothing of what
the ladies do for us in the ordinary
everyday affairs of life.
Our language may not be so high
class that the ordinary person can't
understand it, but there is certainly
enough of it.
