a Mysterious Bill.

Notwithstanding the constitution of
the state of Illinois expressly prohibits
special legislation every session of the
general assembly witnesses ill-conceal-
ed attempts to enact legislation that is
intended to apply to some special case,
corporation. individual or institution.
The present session is no exception
to this rule, and house bill No. III is a
specimen. There is mystery about
this bill that of itself is enough to
arouse suspicion that there is Joker
incorporated in its hazy depths. The
bill purports to be measure ito ratify
consultations and mergers between
two or more railroad companies organ
lied under the laws of Illinois, and to
define the term of corporate existence
of such railroads and authorize them
to renew their corporate existence
The bill provides that every agreement

HOLDING A CAMERA.
Some Practical Suggestions to the Be
gnner In Photography.

Some Practical Suggestions to the Be-
ginner In Photography.
One of the most important lessons
for a beginner to learn is to hold the
camera in the proper position during
exposure. Whenever there are corners
of buildings or other objects which
give vertical lines the camera must he
held absolutely level. If this is not
done, the building in the picture will
appear TO be falling either backward
or forward. according to the way in
which the camera was tilted.
There are times. however when the
camera may he tilted to an advantage.
In some cases it is an absolute neceS-
sity. For example. in photographs of
clouds. waterfalls, balloons, etc, the
camera may point upward. while in
taking pictures of people swimming
or bathing, children ut work or play,
etc. it may he pointed downward.
Very successful photographs of
prominent speakers. paradeS, crowds.
etc. have been taken when the camera
was upside down. It makes no differ
cnce in the negative whether the cam
era is right side up or not. BY holding
the camera in the way suggested many
photographer has secured good pic
lures, while others who tried to use
the camera in the usual way made alb
solute failures.
Often by holding the camera 10y the
side of the body and pointing it back
ward one may secure pictures of chill
dren at play and of Older people in
! natural poses without the knowledge
of any members of the group.
Another warning to beginners is nee
essary. Do not try to take a time eX-
posture While holding the camera in the
| hand. Even if the camera is held
against the breast and respiration stop
ped the action of the heart is sufficient
to cause the box to vibrate and spoil
the picture.-Circle Magazine.

The business as well as the polite

The business as well as the political
world is shocked by the sudden death
of James II. Eckels, the Chicago finan-
cier Mr. Eckels was man of attract
i've and pleasing personality, staunch
in his friendships. as he was in his
convictions. capable of success IL
great undertakings, a fOrcCful and
logical speaker, and altogether one OF
the strong men of his time. Promi-
nent for years in the politics of Illinois
he became controller of the currency
under President Cleveland, and in his
discharge of the work of the office
proved that the duties were not merely
perfunctory. He was comptroller. Mr.
Eckels had many close personal friends
in Rock Island prominent among them
being Hon. Ben T. Cable and Hon. E
w. Hurst. His last visit to Rock Is
land occurred three years ago when
he was the chief orator of the Rock
Island clubs banquet in celebration OF
LincOln's birthday. On that occasion
he made finished and scholarly ad

Clear, Simple Common Sence Applied

There are two reasons why man
should not worry, either one of which
must operate in every instance-first.
because he cannot prevent the results
he iears; second, because he can pre-
vent them. If he is powerless to avert
the blow, he needs perfect mental con
ccntration to meet it bravely. TO light
en- its force, to get what salvage he
can from the wreck to sustain his
strength at this time when he must
plan a new future. If he can prevent
the evil he fears, then he has no need
to worry, for he would by so doing
be dissipating energy in his very hour
of need.
To cure oneself of worry is not an
easy task. 1t is not to be removed in
two or three applications of the Quack
medicine of any cheap philosophy. but
it requires only clear, simple common
sense applied to the business of life.

INDIAN LODGES.

the Buffalo.
While in buffalo days some of the
wild Indians of the plains occupied per
manent dwellings during Il part of the
year, there were others who lived Who'll
ly in movable lodges.
These were made of buffalo skins
tanned white and sewed together. They
were of different sizes. the poor occu-
pying smaller lodges, while the wealthy
man, he who owned many horses. very
a larger lodge. The size of Il mans
| lodge was to some extent an Indication
| of his wealth. Two horses We're need

| and one to carry the lodge itself. three
| horses for the transportation of the

\ lodg" of moderate size required

| larger the lodge the greater was the
| number OF poles needed. From the
| fact that they used an unusual number
| of poles i'll setting up their lodges it re-
suited that the Cheycnnes had well
| stretched. nice looking lodges.
| The northern Cheyennes declare that
an odd number of hides was always
| used for the best lodges, and the num-
! Der might range from eleven TO twenty
one. The skins were sewed together
with sinew thread. First. of course,
the hides must be tanned, the hair re-
| moved and the skin sUftened. Then
the Cheyenne woman held a sewing
bee which was not unlike the bees
of our ancestors in the early days of
| this country. She invited her friends
to come and help her sew her lodge
and provided them with refreshments.
Among them was always one woman
especially skillful in cutting out the
lodges, and she fitted the skins together
before the women began to sew them.

Varsity Team Promises To BE a
Swift one-Clarksburg Tigers
to Reorganize.

The outlook for football this year
at the State University at Morgan
town is very bright and a most sue
cessful year is looked for by those
in charge of the football affairs. The
enrolment this year will be much
larger and more material will be on
hand than ever before. The man
agement of the Varsity is to be con-
graduated on securing the services
of Clarence Russell, tackle of Chi
cago university for the last four
years. He is conceded by many to
be the best on Stages staff of foot
ball warriors. He will report in
Morgantown on the tenth when pre-
liminary practice will be started
A majority of last years men
will be back which will greatly help
the team. Those of last years team
who will return will be BulIard, cen
ter; Gilhooley, guard; Leahy and
McIntire, tackles; Lee and Brooks
Hutchinson, ends; Huey, Kenna and
Ryan of the backfeld. With these
Ol0 men 1OE SLdLISI the team
should be much better than ever be-
fore.
The new material that will enter
school will be the best that has been
for some time. Instead of being
green and without training they are
mostly all old players who do not
need to be taught the first rudiments
of the game. Following are some
of the men who will enter school this
fall and try for positions on the
team: Taylor, Varsity guard 'O5,
will return and try for his old posi-
ton; Yeardley, center ,O4 and 'O5,
will return and it is needless to say
that his coming back will help the
team as he is recognized as one of
the greatest centers in the game;

also try and bring the Tigers to
Morgantown for a mid-week game
if it can be arranged.
The Tigers will organize the 18th

will be perfected and any one that
has ever played football or wishes
to try for the team will be welcom-
ed to the club. The Tigers sched-
ule will be the best they have ever
undertaken and it is hoped that their
team will be the best that has ever
represented the city.
