DURING PRESENT SESSION.

(Murphysboro Era-Republcan)
The close of the arst session of
the sixtieth congress has brought
many members into public prominence
on account of the work which they have
accomplished, but perhaps none have
exceeded the work of the representa-
tive from this the Twenty-tifth dis
trict of Illinois, Hon. n. b. Thistle.
wood of Cairo
Congressman Thistlewood was elect
ed on February 18th TO fill the unex'
pred term of the late Hon. George
w. Smith He went to Washington
and was sworn in on February 10Th,
and in two minutes afterwards he
had introduced bill asking for an
appropriation of SG5o00 for the pur-
chase of site and the erection of
building theron for a postoffice at
Murphysboro. Today that bill is 4
law, and to Captain Thistlewood's
watchfulness ana attentiveness is due
much of the credit.
tlewood was assured by the commit
tee on public buildings and grounds
that one item in this bin was all that
any one member could expect to Sc [
cure. but with that determination for |
which he is noted he set about work,
ing for an appropriation TO secure a |
site for Du Quoin and through the |
able assistance of Congressman Ro. |
denberg, he secured $4,000 for this
purpose. which assures to DuQoin
within the next two years an appro-
priation for a public building
During the first week of Captain
Thistlewoods membership in the
house he introduced nearly one hun
ired special bills to grant his soldier
an increase of pension.
There are nearly four hundred mem
)ers of the house and each member is
given about five reports by the com
Iittees. Coming so late in the ses.
ion the captain worked under a grea.
handicap, but ever remembering his
Promises 10 aid his comrades he began
systematic assault upon the commit
ee on ivalid pensions with the result
hat twelve 12) of his bills were re
,orted and passed by the house ana

'eneiif and comfort Of those who,
Ike Captain Thistlewood gave the
ID st part Cf their lives in the defense
t their country. This record is unpar

bly, not surpassed by another mem

Not content with hits great work
