Just now there Is bill before the
Illinois Legislature which has every
prospect OF passing, and in case It
does the itinersnt merchants will
have to give Illinois the go-by in
future, says the Hannibal Journal.
Il provides that each merchant SO
engaged shall pay q state license OF
$4,000 and shall take out municipal
license In addition to each city where
he phys his trade. This latter license
Is to be fixed in unique manner. 1t
is proposed that the license shall be
a sum equal to the local city tax
rate on one.flfth value OF the ped.
dler's stock. Ii is not intended to
make this applicable to foot or
wagon peddlers but only to those
doing business in temporary quar-
tiers In cities, towns or villages. The
bill is introduced at the instance OF
various merchants associations OF
the state, whose members argue that
they have to pay a tax on their stock
equal to the amount Of the municipal
license asked.

the sheep killers, It wouldn't be SO
bad, but the sheep killing dog rarely
does business by daylight Several
years ago two dogs were tracked
about seven miles after the last Of
several sheep killing excursions, The
dogs were killed and we haven't lost
many sheep since In our neighbor'
hood. Now we conld have killed
every dog In she community with
poison or gun and the sheep killing
would have continued.
When dogs get to killing sheep the
dogs ought to be killed but | am no,

THE SALVATION ARMY
Doing Good Work in Caring for the
Unfortunate Children.

Among all the things which the Sal
walton Army is carrying forward in
this locality, mention should be made
of the work which the Army is fire.
quently called upon to perform in the
line Of caring for unfortunate chill
dren. Capt. and Mrs. A. A. Bivans Of
the Gardiner corps are at present car
ing for two little children, one three
months, old and the other, six weeks
old. The circumstances. under which
these two children came to be cared
for by the Army are extremely pitiful,
and urge upon Gardiner citizens the
necessity of a temporary home for
children, along the lines already PLAN
ned by the W. c. T. U. The Salvation
Army has carried on this kind of work
since its first inception by the veteran
General William Booth, and has all
the machinery and organization for
carrying such work forward. 1t only
lacks funds for it's successful accom-
plishment, and this is the reason why
the local corps, and the work of Capt.
and Mrs. Bivans, are worthy Of
strong financial support.
