..Prize Package Rates.

The executive committee of the
western trunk lines will take what
might be called a unique case under
consideration at its meeting next
Wednesday at Chicago. The commit
tee will grant a hearing on the freight
rates on prize packages" Manufac-
turers and VIII oIesalers of st. Louis and
other cities will be represented at the
hearing.
Many. manufacturers of eatables
ship premiums, such as spoons. or
cups and saucers, in the packages
containing their products. Patrons of
grocery stores know all about these
prize packages. 1@t
The railroads at first accepted the
packages at the regular freight rate,
applying to the product itself. Later
the whole consignment Later they
inal rate on the prize and the regular
rate on the consignment. At present
the western trunk lines have under
consideration a suggestion for charg-
ing no per cent on prize PACKAGE"
that is the regular rate for the article
itself, and, besides, 10 per cent of the
regular rate for the prize or pre-
premium.
An Interesting contest seems to be
prizes or premiums wish to continue
doing so, and they will insist on hay-
ing special rate, even If it is 10 per
cent. Many other manufacturers are
against offering prizes, and they will
oppose the establishing of special
rates The st. Louis delegation will
declare against the prize PACKAGE
and take the position that goods
should be sold on quality or merit. -

Word Revenue May Settle I. c. SUIT.

Springfield. ILL.,, Feb. 1s.-On the
exact meaning of the word revenue -
as used in the the state constitution,
hinges the argument of Attorney Gem
eral Stead against the motion of the
Illinois Central railroad to dismiss the
case brought by the state in the SUI
preme court to collect back taxes. -
The attorney general filed his brief
and argument in the case today and
the railroad company has five days to
reply
The attorneys for the railroad con-
tend that the word revenue" as en-
pIoyed in that clause of the state con-
stitution. comforting original jurisdic-
ton on the supreme court in cases re-
lating to revenue, refers to only such
revenue as is the product of taxation.
Attorney General Stead contends
that 1t includes not only the income
produced by the various modes of tax
alton, but also any annual or current
income derived from any other source.
/ In concluding his argument the at
torney general holds that the railroad

court declared the re-districting act
unconstitutional. These cases have
been taken to the Court of Appeals.
They were argued by attorneys for
the Democrats yesterday and de-
cision will likely be rendered in
few days. 1t is the belief of the
well informed that the higher court
will also declare the law unconstitu-
tional. On last Monday the commit
tee filed suit in the Green Circuit
court, asking it to declare unconsti-
tutional all the Cong ressional re-
districting acts passed since 1882.
The committees report points out
the glazing inequalities of popula-
ton in g number Of Legislative dis

THERE is a great deal of talk
about the condition of the roads over
the county. 1t must not be forgo t.
ten that dirt and water mixed makes
mud. That the roads are very
muddy at present we are all aware.
So is mother earth" every where.
There has been enough rain since
last June to keep the roads wet
most all the time and since August
the ground everywhere has been
soaked from the excessive rainfall.
Is it any wonder then that the roads
are muddy? What means could
have been employed to keep it from
raining on the roads? None unless
sheds had been built over them.
More work on the roads might have
lessened the amount of mud, but so
long as it rains there will certainly
be some mud and likely in the
roads too.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has won
monumental fame and everlasting
gratitude by his fight against the
Standard Oil trust. This monster has
made and unmade our Government
officials at its desire, but it is at last
about to receive long delayed JUS
tice. It's stock has already shrunll
more than $4,000, 100000 and is
still shrinking. 1t has invoked the
law, when it served it, and set it
aside when that course suited its
purpose better. Now it is on the
rack and it is thought this hideous
monster will be destroyed from the
face of the earth.

Mrs. Park Improving.

Mrs. w. w. Park, of the Clear
Run neighborhood, who underwent
sergical operation for mastoid alb
scess one day last week is rapidly re-
covering. Sometime in November
she had an attack of the grip which
settled in her head causing the for
nation of two assesses, one behind
the ear and one IN the forehead.
Drs. Taylor and Stanley were the OPP
Grating surgeons and it was neces-
sary to make an incision in the skull
bone in each place to reach the
trouble. Such an operation is a
most delicate one and the patients
rapid recovery is most phenomenal.
