SENATOR HOLTSLAW
 RESIGNS UNDER FIRE

Springfield, H., June 4.-Senator D. w. Holtslaw of Iuka is the first of the self-confessed bribe-takers of the Hi. nois assembly to accede to the de mands of the public and press of the state, and resign his office.
 The following telegram from the dis honored senator's home was received by Secretary of State Rose:
 'Iuka, Ill.-Secretary of State James A. Rose: hereby resign as senator from the Forty-second district.
 (Signed) "D w. HOLTSLAW"
 Holtslaw was "holdover' senator, elected to serve until 1913. His resig. nation will make necessary a special election in the Forty-second district to fill the vacancy. The district is comprised of Clay, Clinton, Effingham and Marion counties.
 Others Will Follow.
 This action on the part of the Iuka statesman is expected to be followed with general inpouring of resigna, tions on the part of discredited assem. blymen. Holtslaw is the first to re- sign, although the last, up'to the pres. ent time, to have made confession. Messrs. White, Link and Beckemeyer, who are represented as having con. fessed to the Cook county states at. torney, are house members, and their terms of office expire before the gen. eral assembly is again convened, un. less Governor Deneen should see fit to call the members together in ex. traordinary session before next Janu- ary. It is believed here, however, that public sentiment will force all con. fessors to resign their offices, even though no active duties confront them.
 In his haste to discard the office he has disgraced Holtslaw failed to com. ply with the statute governing such action. To resign it will be necessary for him to file an official resignation with the county clerk of Marion coun. ty and duplicate with the governor.

BEcKEMEYER, BEFORE GRAND Ju' RY, REVEALS NAMES OF SIX
 IN ST. LOUIS MEETING.
15O ARE UNDER SUSPICION
Confessed Bribe Taker Said to Have Told Where Funds Came From Grand Jury Has Details of the
 Methods Used on Fish Bill.

Springfield, H., June 4.-Six mem. bers of the general assembly were in St. Louis when Representative H. J. c. Beckemeyer received $900 as his share of the legislative jackpot" and some of them were not mentioned by Representative Charles A. White in his original confession.
 A legislative jackpot was used to influence legislation in the forty-fifth as well as the forty-sixth general as. sembly, which is now under investiga- tion.
 The one member of the committee on fish and game, who held out money contributed for the entire committee, is known and will be called here.
 Full details of the manner in which the fund for the defeat of the fish bill was collected, now in the hands of the jury, will bring about indictments of bribe givers and bribe takers.
 Big Sum Was Used.
 These are the principal features gained by the Sangamon county grand jury from the testimony of Represen. tative Beckemeyer, State Fish Warden Nat Cohen of Urbana, and Deputy Fish Warden Elmer B. Caldwell of Havana.
 Estimates made on the amount of money that went into the jackpot" and the extent of it's influence as re vealed by Beckemeyer's testimony and the testimony of Senator Holtslaw last week, indicate that at least $50O- 900 was in the fund and probably 150 members of the general assembly were tainted.

worth while to cultivate them.
Men with low, squatting foreheads
should not pull their hair down over

these days. anyway. Usually 1t doesn't
stay more than long enough to make
sure that the baby Is going to be boy

Good Chance

1t is an open question whether a
political convention might not save
a great deal of time and conserve a
vast amount of human nerve force,
energy and patience if it cut off all
speeches seconding the nomination
of candidates. They never change
a vote in all probability. and they
simply serve to give a lot of men an
opportunity to make a speech"
when the convention does not care
to listen.-St. Adams Messenger.
