The County Board has served notice
on the city that the lease for the old
county building now used as city
hall cannot be renewed and as the
finances of the city are in no condition
to stand the strain Of new city hall
the city fathers are wondering what
they are going to do when they are
turned out in the cold. However, con
ditions may change before the present
lease expires and the county may be
glad to renew when that time comes
They will have to wait and cross that
bridge when they come to it,

Edward III. Forbush, New England
agent for the National Association of
Audubon Societies, makes a plea for
the protection of the robin and presents
some startling statistics Of the peril
IN which that early and friendly visitor
stands. Considerable has been said in
depreciation of the slaughter of mil
lion robins in a single season in the
South, especially in Louisiana, but
that state has risen to its responsible
ty and passed laws that if enforced
will prevent occurrences of such de-
struction of bird life.
But Mr.. Forbush points out that
conditions in the north have been as
bad as in the south, or perhaps even
worse, because the territory is larger.
He says the people who come here from
eastern and southern Europe are large
ly bird killers, and they pursue their
quarry by shooting, trapping and net
ting birds to eat and for millinery pur-
poses. All is game that comes in their
way-robins, meadow larks, sparrows,
thrushes, swallows, bluebirds and cue
koos and he. tells of six sPolackers, -
with pistols and guns loaded with fine
shot, that sat under the wild cherry
trees one Saturday afternoon and early
Sunday morning, and the next day the
heads of one hundred and five robins
were found where the women had
plucked and dressed them for the
pot.-Boston Transcript

Bill Is Filed To Foreclose on ST..
600, 1000 Bond Issue Of Chi.
cage & Milwaukee Electric
COURT SALE NAY FOLLOW
Reorganization of the Illinois Corpora
tion Operating Electric Railway
May be Made Possible by
Action in Court

A bill asking that the 100000
bond issue Of the Chicago and Milwau-
kee Electric railroad company, matur-
ing inN 1920, be foreclosed on the
ground that the Illinois corporation is
.insolvent, has been fled in the United
States Circuit Court. The petitioner
is the Merchants Loan and Trust com
.pany, trustee under certain trust deeds
from the Illinois corporation.
In the event that the &C art DEGREES
a foreclosure, the probabilities are that
the road will be sold at public auction
and an early reorganization effected
of the Illinois corporation.
The bill sets forth the income and
profits of the Illinois corporation have
been diverted to the Wisconsin corpor-
alton and that the property covered by
the trust deeds is in jeopardy and the
holders Of the bonds secured by the
trust deeds are likely to suffer ire
parable injury unless the court grants
relief.
On the subject Of Insolvency, the bill
asserts "that the Chicago and Milwau-
kee Electric railroad company of I'LL
nois is insolvent and is unable to per-
form it's corporate duties, or it's duties
to the public; that it's income is suf-
ficient to pay operating expenses and
to keep it's property in repair and to
pay the interest on it's 100000
bonds. =
The company has failed to pay taxes,
assessments, and interest on the prop
erty covered by the trust deeds, the
bill alleges, and default has continued
for a period of more than six months
The bill also charges that the com
pany has defaulted in it's covenant to
take care Of and to preserve it's prop
erty and to maintain it in good, work
ing condition, and that it has defaulted
in it's obligation to preserve the rights
and franchise granted by the villages,
towns and cities through which the
road operates.
The bill sets forth that there is a
series Of unpaid judgments and claims
against the company aggregating near
ly 100000. One Of these is claim
of 1850 in favor of the MetropoIi-
tan Trust and Savings bank; judg-
ment of $4,000 in favor of Otto R.
Hansen; bills aggregating $4,000 for
services and supplies claimed to have
been furnished for the maintenance
and operation of the road within six
months prior to the appointment of
receivers.
The trustees point out that the prop
erty Of the Illinois corporation is being
used for the benefit Of the Wisconsin
corporation, which possesses no cars,
power houses, or any other railroad
equipment.
The title to a large amount of
property which was bought and paid
for by the Chicago and Milwaukee
Electric Railroad company of Illinois, =
the bill asserts, twas taken in the
name of Albert G. Frost, who was presi
dent of the said company, and your
orator alleges that all the real estate
in the counties Of Kenosha, Racine,
and Milwaukee now standing in the
name of Frost is really the property
of the Chicago and Milwaukee Electric
railroad company of Illinois and is
covered by lien Of the trust deeds. =

MEN ARE HELPLESS AS CHIL-
DREN.
When Taken Suddenly M--Here is
a Common Sense Safeguard.

Big, strong man is as a helpless in
FAINT when he is suddenly i'll.
The stuudiest chap in town usual
y loses his self control, and is UTTER
y unable to regard his condition
with the common sense that charac-
ter;zes his everyday actions.
For example: He comes home tir-
ed, eats heavy dinner and sits down
to read and smoke away quiet even
ing.
Suddenly he notices weight on
bis stomach; then sharp pains arounc
his heart, and feeling Of suffoca-
ton. Thoughts Of "heart disease
rush over him, and in his agony he
fears the worst.
His trouble was acute indigestion,
brought on by overlooking his tired
stomach.
A couple Of Rexall Dyspepsia Tab
Tets would have given him instant re-
Eef-would have saved him hours of
suffering.
Carry a package of Rexall Dyspep-
Sia Tablets in your vest pocket or
keep them in Your room. Take one
after each heavy meal, and indiges-
zion can never bother you.
Rexan Dyspepsia Tablets cure
stomach troubles by supplying the
one element, the absence Of which in
the gastric jueies, causes indigestion
and dyspepsia. They enable the
stomach to digest all kinds of food
and to quickly convert it into rich red
blood.

Tablets are and what they will do.
We guarantee them to cure lndlges-
ton and dyspepsia. IF they fail, We

THAT CLEMSON TRUSTEESHIP.
How About Members of General As
sembly Who Are Also Clemson
Trustees?

Following is an editorial from the
Columbia State Of January /:
That Clemson Trusteeship.
Here is the view Of the Manning
Times regarding Senator Tillman' 5
Clemson college trusteeship:
"The Kingstree Record is after
Senator Tillman for violting the State
constitution by holding more than
one Office, but Notwithstanding the
argument the Columbia State makes
on the question in its issue Monday,
We do not believe Tillman's trustee
ship Of Clemson college is in violation
Of the law. Mr.. Clemson, before the
constitution Of 1895, named Tillman
as life trustee, his acceptance Of
the trust completed the transaction,
and no law the State can make will
break the trust reposed by the will.
Tillnan is lawful trustee Of Clem-
son, but in our opinion he is violat-
ing the law as trustee Of Winthrop" I"
The inevitable logic Of that posi-
tion as to Clemson college is that the
fundamental law Of South Carolina
is subordinate to the personal wishes
Of Mr.. Clemson at the time Of his be-
quest; it is, in practical effect, ad-
mission that because Mr.. Clemson
spoke first, his voice must prevail
against the letter and spirit Of the
law Of the land.
Let US further illustrate, by an
analogous case, where the reasoning
Of Mr.. Tillman and the Times will
carry them. Suppose that "before
the constitution of 1895" was adopt
ed, it had been proposed to organize at
Pendleton a bank with a half million
dollars capital, and that Mr.. Clemson
had agreed to subscribe fifty thous-
and dollars to the capital stock on
condition that Mr.. Tillman be chosen
president for life; suppose the con-
dition was accepted, Mr.. Tillman
elected and, previous to the adoption
Of the constitution Of 1895, had ac-
cepted the trust? Has the constitu-
tion, which declares that no one shall
hold two Offices Of honor or profit
simultaneously, no power to make
Mr.. Tillman decide between his trust
bank-presidency or his senatorship ?
It is preposterous to conceive Of
such impoteney upon the part Of the
State.
1t is not assumed that the common
wealth can enact a law compelling
any citizen to abandon an Office Of
trust bestowed by some power other
than the commonwealth, but to such
an office-holder the State can and
does say: "You hold an Office not
given you by the State; here is one
given you by the State; you are for
bidden by the constitution to hol1
but one Office at a time. So choose
between them? If you accept this
ene, the other is, by that act, vacat-
:ed.''
. But, as we have before suggested,
it is the supreme courts decree up
on this question which is of real i'm
portance.

DOES ana quote scripture ABOUT
"lead not into temptation" and
"save the boys" In the abstract
that sounds good and reads well in
the Sunday schools.
So much for promises; now for
facts: Some time ago we find the
following bit Of wisdom from old Ru-
raj Delivery Of Anderson, copied, and
no doubt endorsed, by The Observer:
"We have declared opium in all
its forms, cocaine, etc., to be poison
and have prohibited its sale except
by licensed pharmacists upon the or
der Of reputable physicians, .
but their open and indiscriminate
sale is prohibited. The same rule
should be applied to whiskey. .
The law should be so that the man
who needs whiskey could get it on
the order of a physician"
Now if by any stretch of imagina-
, ton one could believe the old R. +.
D. 50 verdant as to really think this
twaddle, the correct idea, ''reputable
physicians, prescriptions" i" etc.,
and all such rot wouldn't he get i
Jolt if the dear old Observer would
show him the trick? Gracious! But
neither are so verdant. Now that is,

HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION.

Little Rock, July 6-Not to be delayed in it's work by the failure of the last legislature, af- ter passing law creating it, to appropriate funds with which to carry out the provisions of the act the Arkansas Historical Com mission met for the first time yesterday morning in the ban uuet hall Of the New Capital Ho- tel and resolved to raise funds necessary to carry on the work until the next meeting of the General Assembly by soliciting voluntary contributions.
 The commission consists of Chief Justice E. A. McCulloch. President John M. Tillman of the University of Arkansas and President J. J. Doyne of the State Normal School at Conway -officio members and Senator James H. Berry of Bentonvile. Senator H. B. Mckenzie of Pres cott. J. F. Mayes of Fort Smith, Miss Clara B. Enc of Van Buren. Dr. A. C. Millar of Little Rock and Professor J. H. Reynolds of the chair of history in the Uni versity of Arkansas. Senator Me Kenzie acted as temporary char man. All members were present with the exception of President Tillman, Senator Berry and Miss Enc. Miss Enc was represented by Mrs John Barrow of Little RCck.
 The law creating tine History Commission provided that ap- pointive members should hold of flee for 12 years but that there should be one term to end ev- cry two years. To ascert tain the term of years, for which each should serve from the time of ap- pointment so that one would be retired every two years, 1t was necessary to draw for the diff ferent terms. This resulted in Miss Enc receiving the two-year term. J. F Mayes the four-year term, Senator Jas. H. Berry the six-year term, Professor J. H. Reynolds the eight-year term. Senator Mckenzie the ten-year term, and Drs q. c. Millar the twelve7year term. other members of the commission hold their position on it as long as they remain in their present position,
