OF the second meeting in saying it

interest in the meeting and with only
two or three persons speaking unfav'
orable to commission government
However they were willing to fall in
with the wishes Of the majority. The
list of twenty names presented to the
second meeting and suggested as
suitable persons to select the ten
freeholders from, to draft the charter
seven of them were the same men
that were selected by the rst meet
ing.
Read the list over and YOU will see
that there will be no difficulty In
selecting ten competent men repre-
senting the various yocations in life
who have Guthrie's best interest at
heart and will endeayor to form 4
charter adequate to her needs.
Personally | have no criticism tc
make of the good intentions of the
first meeting The mistake it made
was in not thoroughly advertising il
and urging that every body within
the corporate limits who felt an i'll

ILLINOIS GAINS TWO
HOUSE PASSES CENSUS REAPPoR-
TlONMENT BILL.
Lower Branch of Congress Will Have
Total of 433 Members After
March, 1918.

Washington.-The house of repre-
sentatives passed substitute to the
original census reapportionment bill
which fixes the membership of the
lower branch of congress at 433 after
March 8, 1913.
The following states gain by the
new bill as follows:
Arizona, 1; Alabama, 1; California,
3; Colorado, L. Florida, /; Georgia, 1:
Idaho, 1; Illinois, 2; Louisiana, Ii;
Massachusetts, 2; Michigan, 1; Mime
sofa, 1; Montana, 1; New Jersey, q;
New Mexico, /; New York, 6; North
Dakota, L; Ohio, 1; Oklahoma, 3; Ore
gon, 1; Pennsylvania, Z; Rhode Is
land, /; South Dakota, /; Texas, q;
Utah, 1; Washington, Q; West Vir-
ginia, 1.
The Democrats, aided by few Re-
publicans who declined to be bound
by the party caucus, won the fight for
an increased representation. They
voted down the Republican caucus
bill to maintain the membership at
391, and then passed the original
Crumpacker bill fixing the member
ship at 433. If Arizona and New Mex
leo should be admitted to statehood
they will be given one representative
each, bringing the total to 435.
The action Of the house must be
ratified by the senate. The. house
leaders believe the senate will follow
the wishes Of the lower house.

THREE DIE IN RIVER
STREET CAR PLUNGES INTO ICY
STREAM AT SHEYBOYGAN,
WIS.
HAD NO CHANCE FOR ESCAPE
Women Are Trapped Inside Coach
With No Hope of Life-SlipPery
Rails and Failure of Breaks Given
as Cause.

Sheboygan, Wis.-Imprisoned help
lessly in a speeding trolley car. three
women were drowned when the car
plunged into the Sheboygan river
through the open draw of the Eighth
street bridge here.
The dead: Miss Anna Mather, aged
ffty-three, Sheboygan Falls, music
teacher; Miss fannie VanOuwekerk,
aged sixteen, a kindergarten teacher;
Miss Olga Willimite, Sheboygan. a
waitress.
Motorman George Theme and Con-
ductor Frank Weber were saved, as
were two other passengers, one OF
whom was Paul o. Etzold, travelling
salesman from Milwaukee. They es-
capped death by jumping just before
the car plunged into the river.
The death of the three women is
probably due to a stumble by Etzold.
AS he rushed out of the car he fell
and the three women fell over him.
He regained his feet and leaped from
the car, but the women behind him
were trapped.
The rails. were slippery and the
motorman was unable to set his
brakes. He made an attempt to es-
cape as the car plunged from the
bridge into the river.

HEREDITY

The influence of heredity cannot, or
it can be minimized or entirely over
come in some cases by correct food
and drink. A Conn. lady says:
"For years while l was coffee
drinker l suffered from bilious at
tacks Of great severity, from which
used to emerge as white as ghost
and very weak. Our family physl-
clan gave me various prescriptions Tor
improving the digestion and stimulat-
ing the liver, which / tried faithfully
but without perceptible result.
"He was acquainted with my fam
ily history for several generations
back. and once when / visited him he
said: If you have inherited one OF
those orpid livers you may always
suffer more or less from it's inaction.
We can't dodge our inheritance, you
know
az was not 50 strong a believer in
heredity as he was, however, and, be-
ginning to think for myself, conclud-
ed to stop drinking coffee, and see
what effect that would have. / feared
it would be a severe trial to give it
up, but when / took Postum and had
it well made, it completely filled my
need for hot beverage and grew
very fond of it.
81 have used Postum for three years,
using no medicine. During all that
time l have had absolutely none OF
the bilious attacks that I used to suf-
fer from, and / have been entirely
free from the pain and facilitating eff
fects that used to result from them.

Has an Old Relic of Washington.

TAO viz tNCblS W w aothN'SAS's
One of the most interesting relics OF
George Washington is owned by the
city of Salem. 1t is a medallion in
wood, carved after sketch from life.
The same artist executed both
sketch and carving, which gives the
relic added value. He was Samuel Nc
Intire, native genius with gift for
portraiture. He studied Washington
when the father of his country visited
Salem on his tour of the east, and
made the medallion shortly afterward,
to adorn the arch over the west en-
trance of Washington equare, Salem.
Here the efIigy remained from 1907
until 1850, when the arch was taken
down to give place to an iron fence,
still in use.
This Washington relic is kept in the
fireproof room at the Essex institute,
Salem, where it is frequently studied
by artists and others as an odd and
striking likeness of the great Ameri-
can whom no two artists pictured
alike.-Boston Globe.

THE OLD-TIME PARLoR.

There used to be IN almost every r1-
raj home in the country sacred room
the "parlor" Every reader is prob"
ably familiar with it, for 1t still exists,
though not 80 universally as it did
years ago, when no home in the land,
in village, hamlet, or on farm, was
considered complete or well-equipped
without this dismal apartment-care-
fully suffered in against air and sun
light; a jar Of waxwork on the center
table; a collection Of curious odds and
ends on the what-not in the corner;
mottos and chromos on the wall; Wv
i'd ingram or Brussels carpet on
the floor The sound of festivity sell
dom penetrated the gloom OF this par
Tor, says the Philadelphia Press. At
rare intervals distinguished visitors
were received in it-witnesses OF wed
ding or funeral. 1t was never
pleasant room; it smelled damp and
dusty, the children stood in awe of it;
and yet It was their mothers pride.
Happily The day of the pentup, IN
savory parlor is fast passing away
The children, going out into the big
ger world with observant eyes, have
returned to the homestead and insisted
upon finging open the doors and win
dows and admitting a burst Of sunlight
and a rush of pure air. They have
made a living room of tomb. In
their childhood the kitchen was the
most comfortable place in the house; it
was scrubbed every day, ventilated al
ways, made light and airy and clean
and hospitable while the CHASTITY for
hidden precincts of the parlor were
exposed to sanitary search not oftener
than twice a year-during the fnev-
liable spring and fall housekeeping

It is only recently that they have dis
covered a way of canning decayed
eggs, and there are bakers in the large
cities who are so devoid Of honesty
that they would as soon use rotten
eggs as fresh ones. Thus market Is
created, and but for the fact that the
state under it's pure food laws can
step In and condemn this product as
unfit for consumption, the problem Gre
ated by cold storage would have been
rendered more complex as the year go
by, says the Rochester Herald. 1t Is
not beyond the bonds of possibility
that meat which has been cold-stored
to the point of decay is treated in the
same manner. No one ever hears OF
1t being thrown away.

When one speaks of granite the
mind naturally reverts to Vermont. 1t
is difficult to associate granite with
any section of North America outside
New England, yet it must now be &C
knowledged to the credit of the south
that Georgia, North Carolina, Mary
land and Virginia are producing large
quantities Of stopo of good quality
which insures the south a place in
the market at any rate.
The annual output is now worth
about $3,5O0,O0O and the industry is
growing. 1t may be Of comparative
interest to know that New England's
output is about 100000 worth OF
stone annually.

ARCHBISHOP RYAN is DEAD
DISTINGUISHED PRELATE PASS
ES INTO ETERNITY.
Cathedral Bells TolIing Tells Phila
deIphians of MetropoIitan's
End.

Philadelphia, Penn. - Rev. PatricB
John Ryan, archbishop, of Philadel
phia and metropolitan of Pennsylvan
ia, died at the arch episcopal resi-
dence in this city of the several weeks
illness.
The members of the immediate fam.
lily of Archbishop Ryan were at the
bedside when he passed away. They
included his sister, Mrs. Edward Bow
en-, of this city, and Mrs. James Ma
guire, of Boston.
Cathedral Bell Tolls.
A few minutes after the prelate had
passed away, the deep-toned bell of the
cathedral began tolling off 70 strokes,
one for each year of the arch-bishop's
life. The news of the archbishop's
death was flashed to all parts of the
city ard in every parish the bells OF
the Roman Catholic churches were
tolled.
Archbishop Ryan was considered the
greatest of the line of bishops and
archbishops that have occupied the
Episcopal see of Philadelphia since it's
erection in 1903. His reputation was
national and in his home city he was
accorded a popular recognition that
far surpassed that of any of his prede-
cessors, he having been on the friend
hest terms with men of all religious
denominations. He was one of the
foremost pulpit orators il the Catholic
church in this country.
The archbishop was born in Thurles,
County of Tipperary, Ireland, on Feb.
20, 1881. His ancestors on the pater-
nal side were originally the Organs,
who figure in Irish history. His par
ents died when he was very young,
and his youthful education was re-
ceiyed from the Christian Brothers at
Aries.
Young Ryan studied at the Carlow
seminary and later came to this coun-
try, going to st. Louis, where he was
appointed a professor in Carondelet
seminary. On Sept. s, 1853, he was
ordained a priest by Archbishop Ken
rick. In 1856 he was made rector Of
the st. Louis cathedral and, four years
later, was placed in charge OF the
Church of the Annunciation. In 1872
Father Ryan was consecrated coadjut-
or bishop of st. Louis, with the right
of succession, and, in 1884, he was ap-
pointed archbishop of Philadelphia.
Cardinal Gibbons will preside at the
funeral of the late archbishop, which
probably will be held on Thursday.
