Az "a Rivermen.

| Mr.. Baker was asked how aboI'
river men voting-those who claimed
Cairo as their home2' He answered
that can be determined only on the
anne basis as any other person: he
must prove his residence and period
I OF residence in the city, just the
same as a landsman, In the matter
of houseboat men or the men on the
government fleet whose residences
are on board boats atationed here
they may prove their right to vote
To Verify the Lists.
Continuing. he said. The next
day after registration day the clerks
in each precinct must canvass the
ward thoroughly, the home Of every
person who has registered must be
vi tied. and the canvassers must be
atisfed that such person has made
his home at the number given, other
wise said canvassers must leave a
'su pect' notice addressed to said
person and later should send through
the mails similar notice stating
that he must appear before3 the Board
ana satisfy it of his right to vote
Hotels and Boarding Houses.
The jobs of the ward politicians
have been considerably cut down by
The fact that the new law practically
prevents the rise Of hotels, boarding
houses, rooming houses. etc. from
being the Ravens of the se-called
floating voters They will have to
afoat" into these Ravens thirty days
ahead OF each election to secure any
title at all to the right of franchise
and then they must prove IN their
residence in the county 90 days and
the stota one year.
The law provides that all land
lords, keepers or managers OF
hotels, boarding houses. rooming
houses. etc, shall, not later than Is
days, nor more than 30 day. prior to
every election give in a sworn state
ment to the commits toner's of the
full name of every person in his
house. duration of his residence,
number of the room. bed or cot that
he occupies, AMI other information
that may be required of said land
lord, keeper or manager. For failure
to comply with the information the
penalty is not less than s25 nor more
than s100.
Nearly all who attended the meet
Ing expressed themselves as being
very well satisfied with the new law
and feel sure that Cairo can at last
have an election that will be COM
paratively clean.

Lenethen the Hours of Sleep.

Insufficient sleep says physician.
''is one of the crying evils of the day.
Work and pleasure encroach upon the
hours OF rest, and body and mind de-
teriorate in consequence. Even the
children have their hours of sleep
shortened and suffer all their lives in
consequence, A child of ten or eleven
rarely gets more than eight or nine
hours sleep whereas it should have
ten or eleven. Up to 20 ct least nine
hours of sleep are needed. and an av-
erage adult needs eight, There may
be an occasional Napoleon who can
get along with four hours sleep a
night, but If you happen to belong to
that class nature will tell you by
waking you up at the proper time and
you don't need to interfere"

Brightness In the Rcme.

Don't be afraid of little fun at
home. Don't shut your hou.e lest the
sun fade your carpets. and your hearts
lest hearty laugh shake down some
of the musty old cohwebs thae II
you want to ruin your sons, let them
think that all mirth and social enjoy
ment mist be left on the threshold
without when they come home a.
night.
Young people must have fun and
relaxation somewhere. re they do not
find 1t at their own "reminiscences it
will be sought at other less profitable
places.
Don't repress the buoyant spirits of
your children: half an hours merri-
ment around the lamp and fireside OF
home blots out the rememhrances of
many care and annoyance during the
day, and the best safeguard they can
take with them into the world is the
influence of bright little domestic
sanetum.

THE ELECTION LEW
STRONG POINTS BROUGHT OUT
BY MARTIN b. BAKER, or
EAST ST. LOUIS.
Obligation Imposed Upon Voters
Keepers of Hotels, Etc, and
Judges and Clerks Set
4a Forth in Able Address.

Siyty-fye Judges and clerks OF
election with the Election Board and
a number of vi itors, assembled at
the court house Saturday night to
tTsicl 10 the Interpretation OF tn
election law by Martin D. Baker OF
East St. Louis Waiter Wood called
tibet meeting to order, bill c. Barclay
called the roll, and the speaker was
introduced.
After giving all information in a.
condensed a form as he could, he re
uuested all present who 20 desired
to query him on any point Of the law
rnon which they wished to be en-
Ilghtened and the queries came fast
and plenty.
IN his talk to those present, Mr..
Baker said the job the judges and
clerks would have was not a pic
ME-: they would have to do some
adiggincH; the duties were very much
different under the new law IMAM
the we're under the old. On regis
tration day, March 10th. the judges
and clerks must be on duty from 5
o'clock in the morning until 8 at
night.
How about getting something to
cat and drink during this time?"
simultaneously asked a hungry look
ing clerk and bay-windowed Judge.
THE law gives no information on
that que ton. said Mr. Raker You
are presumed to be like a camel"
Thia question OF abstainance from
food and drink seemed to worry the
judges and clerks until Chairman
Wood volunteered the information
that there was always a way.
Mr.. Baker said it must be inn
pressed upon all voters that it is just
us important to register as 1t is to
vote, for II YOU do not register you
cannot vote
Must Answer Questions.
There are q number of questions
10 be asked OF each person. the
answers ne gives must be placed in
the registration books and when a
voter comes to vote, il he is sus-
rected of trying TO impersonate some.
one else he will be questioned and
mt prove up by his answers that
he is the person who registered un.
der the name given.
Mr., Baker said this election lay
was hrst tried In East st. Louis IN
1887, In the election held two
years before the Introduction of the
new law in 1885,, tho vote war $500:
when the vote Under the new Law
In 1887 was counted there we're only
1sSo0 votes ca t., just one-half thu
number of votes as formerly, so YOU
see you may expect great redue
tion In the number or votes cast al
your next election"

kinq Grsnary,

The Crimea and the whole Black
sea region, owing to the sparse popii-
lation 10 consume 1t, had great sur
plus of wheat. For centuries it was
coveted by all hungry nations--and
exploited by the one with the strong
est armies. For centuries after Athens
had Toasted upon the grain-raising
lands beyond the Bosphorus, Mithri-
dates, as preparation for his life and
death contest with Rome, fell upon
the corn fields of the Crimea. Because
Sicily was yellow with wheat from
earliest memory. through ages and
ages she was raided by all the powers
Of the world. It was because OF
Egypt's corn, more plentiful than any
where else along the Mediterranean,
that Caesar and Pompey wanted the
land Of the Ptolemies. It was when
Rome held or controlled the granaries
her first and dearest conquests-- OF
Sicily. Sardinia, Spain and Egypt that
she could become mistress Of the
world.
