ILLINOIS PROSECUTOR FINDS WITNESS WHO KNOWS OF
 NEW S5,o0o CRAFT.
IMMUNITY Is PROMISED
Wealthy Merchant Says He Paid $500 to Get Protection by Right" LaWs-"Went South
 With Jackpot"

Springfield, Ill.,, June 6.-States At torney Burke, after wild nights ride into the fish camps of the Peoria dis trict, returned to Springfield with an other bribery case full and complete. The story of tle fish bill is the latest to be rounded up.
 Indictments are certain the moment the grand jury hears the evidence, it is said. Mir. Burke brought back with him the witnesses on whose evidence indictments are expected to be voted. They are: Harry Lemm, wealthy fish dealer of Pekin, who paid $500 into the legislature for the killing of the fish bill in 1909.
 John Dixon, a Peoria fish dealer, alleged to have been the collector of the $3,500 bribe fund, successor to Captain Schulte of Havana, who for years, it is said, had been collecting a fund with which the fish men bought protection at Springfield.
 R. O. Lord, bookkeeper for Lemm, who paid the $500 to Dixon by check on order from is employer.
 Democrat Involved.
 The testimony being massed in Springfield leads up directly and con- clusively to a Democratic member of the legislature. The $3,500 bribe money was paid to him direct, it is alleged. He is the gentleman who is under issue is said to have gone south with the jackpot money" mean. ing that he pocketed all the cash.
 A crime against that sacred insti- tuition, the jackpot, is grave one in the eyes of the patriotic lawmakers here.
 Had the jackpot been dealt with honestly there probably would have been no trouble, but the murmurs of good legislators who did not get their bit reached the ears of States Attor- ney Burke and started the investiga- ton.
 The Democratic lawmaker will be offered one of two things by MT. Burke: The hot end of bribery in dictment, or the cooling embraces of an immunity bath, the latter on con dltlon that he will give evidence which will reach some of "the men higher up in the legislature. It is believed the gentleman who went south with the. jackpot" will talk.
 After Big Corporations.
 This fish bill bribery will give Mir Burke another sledge with which to beat against the steel doors of the system which has ruled legislation at Springfield for decades
 Merchant Lemm has told MT. Burke that ever since he entered the fish business, in 1883, he with other deal CTS had contributed to funds to buy protection at Springfield.
 If this is so with river fishermen what of the great railroad, sleeping car, steel and public utility corpora tions? Mir. Burke is determined to get at the source

 60 inch ceiling fan S4.50 per mo. Is ;, Desk ,, S3.50 ;, ;, 12 ;, ', n $2.5O ;, !, IS ;, n ;, $1.50 :, . The regular light rate will ap. ply to those who are on meter service.
 These rates will be in effect from June 1910, regardless of shut downs or any other stops which may be necessary in the operation Of the plant.
 Mostof the customers are now on meter service which is the on ly just way to use the day cur rent both for the consumer and the plant.
 To. the customers who are not on meter service we will have to enforce the following rules.
 That you must not use the current for lights or any other electrical appliance (fans except ed which will be governed by the foregoing rates) between the hours of 10 a. m. and 6.30 D. m.
 2-That if the above rule is reported violated, the manage ment will either have to cut out your current or you will have to have a meter installed.
 3-The day current will start every morning at 10 o'clock and continue through the day and we hope that it will prove a benefit to the patron through the sum mer and that you will show your appreciation by using all the electrical appliances you can, such as irons, sewing machines motors and etc.
 Last.-Get in the meter service which is the only equitable way to buy or sell electricity, and you will be better pleased.

Mail Line at Angels
Camp Discontinued

During the early part of March, 1910
Railway postoffice inspec or Roberts,
visited this town for the purpose of in
vestigating the mail line between
Angels Camp and Milton. After looking
over the route he said he would advise
its discontinuance to the department at
Washington, as it was not needed.
Notice has been received that on and
after April 18th, this mail route will be
discontinued. Mr. Roberts was also OF
the opinion that the postoffce at Alta
Vile was unnecessary, as the people Of
that town could be better served by rural
delivery, and at less cost than by the
present method. 1t is not known what
action the department will take regarding
the latter suggestion, but it is thought
that the Office will not be discontinued.

Deafness Can not be Cured

by local applications as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have q rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition. hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth

boom at Camp Seco in the near future
are exceedingly bright. Recently the
Campo Seco Copper Mining and De-

porated ar5 has taken over the mines
now known as the Gallagher pro-

been extensively developed. These
mines either join or are close to the
holdings of the Penn Chemical Co..

rock carries a large percentage Of gold
and silver, considerably more than
enough to pay for working, and the
copper is said to be of high grade.

From the evidence presented at that

have been between Esae aad eleven

after eleven o'clock and saw Mr..
IAnegar lying dead on the floor of
the building with the gun in his arms.
