Mrs. Metzler swung backward and

A NEW REGISTRATION LAW
WAS PASSED BY LEGISLATURE
ON IT'S LAST DAY.
1t Changes and Makes More Strin-

Particulars.

1t Changes and Makes More Strin-
gent the Present Law in Many
Particulars.
After lengthy and heated debate
the house of representatives on the
last day of its session passed the bill
by Senator Martin making more
stringent the registration law of the
state by the decisive vote of 115
to 33.
The principal provisions of the
bill are as follows:
Section 1 requires the voters
books to be closed six months before
the general election. This adjusts
itself to the constitutional amend
ment, which requires every one to
pay his taxes six months before the
election.
Section 2 requires that no one
shall be allowed to register unless
he actually takes the oath. This
carries out or safeguards the present
law.
Section ) requires the tax collector
to file the voters list with the reg
istrars within ten days after closing
voters books, instead of waiting un-
til twenty days before the election,
as now provided by law.
Section 4 provides that the officers
whose duty it is to file with the reg
istrars the list of disqualified voters
shall file it by April goth. instead
Of July LIST, as now provided by law.
Section provides that the regis
trars shall complete their work and
file the registration list by June
LIST. Under the old law they had I'M
til the morning of the election. 1t
also provides for assistant registrars
when necessary.
Section gives any one the right
to challenge any name on the list
which he thinks ought not to be
there, and provides for a hearing.
This is an amendment to the present
law.
Section 7 provides that no one
shall vote unless his name is on the
list.

NEW YORK.-There are seven
men in the United States who carry
$1,OO0,0OO and more insurance on
their lives, two who carry $780,
600 and one who carries 100000.
The latter is ROdman Wanamaker of
Philadelphia, who is the most heavi-
ly insured man in the world.
James B. Colgate, a stock broker
at SO Wall street, carries more in
surance than any other resident of
New York, his policies aggregating
$500, 900.
The millionaires and multi-million-

IN DOUBTFUL COLUMN
Is the State of Illinois in the
Coming Election.
REPUBLICANS FEAR THE RESULT

The Nomination by the Democrats of
Former Vice-President Stevenson
for Governor of the State Is an
Unusually Strong One.
The nomination of former Vice
President Stevenson for governor of
Illinois by the democrats helps to
put that state in the column of
doubtful states. He is popular, and
his popularity will add many votes
to the Bryan-Kern ticket. 1t seems
to be admitted by the republican
leaders that if any man can carry
Illinois he can, He is a good cam
paigner, and as he has been tried
in office and given satisfaction he
has a very good prospect of being
elected. In the event of his election
the chances are very much in favor
of the states electoral vote going
to MIR. Bryan.
The republicans have been carry
ing Illinois for number of years by
large majorities. They carried it
two years ago by about las, 900 ma
jority, and Mr.. Roosevelt carried it
four years ago by more than 30O,-
600 majority. There is a good deal
of dissatisfaction all through the
state now, however, with republican
officials and republican policies.
There is good reason for thinking
therefore that Mr.. Stevenson will
get a vote that will surprise his po-
litical opponents.
In Illinois, as in other middle west
states, there is a feeling that the re-
publicans have been in power long
enough, and that a change would be
beneficial. This is shown in the fall
ing off in the vote for Senator Hop
kins, who was a candidate in the
primary for a denomination. The
senator has been a power in Illinois
for years, and has done pretty much
as he pleased with the federal Offices
in that state. From all accounts he
hasn't consulted the best interests of
the people, but has looked out every
time for members Of his family, his
relatives and the men who could
help to strengthen his political ma
| chine. Therefore there has grown
up a feeling against him and his
party. This feeling will help Mr.
Bryan to carry the state.

HIS LEG IN THE LEMONADE.
He Was Merely Stirring 1t When
Rudely Interfered With.


That a wooden leg is not fit and
a proper instrument with which to
stir a bowl of lemonade is the opin-
ion of Nathan Wagner, a restaurant
keeper at 215 Park Row, New York.
Wagner was doing in his restau-
rant when a breathless ragamuffin
rushed in from the street.
Say, mister" he cried, "dere's a
guy outside wat put his leg in your
lemonade"
Now, in front of Wagner's place is
a stand on which he placed a large
glass bowl of lemonade to be sold at
the rate of cent a glass. Mr. Wag-
ner, therefore, was quick to get to
the sidewalk. To his establishment
he saw a one-legged man leaning
against the bench and slowly stirring
the lemonade with a wooden leg,
which he had unstrapped from it's
stump.
OlOp LuuI' NtllCu w dSICl.
The man looked surprised, lifted
the leg from the bowl and then de-
liberately struck the glass a whack
that shivered it.
Help" cried Wagner, just as Po
liceman Williams of the Oak street
station came along, and the police
man placed under arrest the man
who had swung the leg. When the
man was arraigned in the Tombs pO-
lice court he was minus his leg. He
gave his name as James Harmon,
and said that he had no home.
why did you break the bowl?"
asked Magistrate Kernochan.
Il didn't, your honor" Harmon
replied. you can see for yourself
that I couldn't have done it. have
no wooden leg"
Indeed" said Wagner, wrathful-
ly. "and why? Because I grabbed
that leg out of your hand and threw
it into the street, and a Dago picked
it up ard put it in a bag and ran
down a side street."
Well" said the magistrate,
while the police are looking for
your leg you can rest safely on the
island, Six months"
