STATUE PIVOT OF
CAPITAL GROUNDS
Important Change Proposed at
Springfield to Accommo-
date Lincoln Shaft.

Springfield, ILL.,, July 16.-The entire
capitol grounds at Springfield may be
changed when the new Lincoln statue,
provided for by the last general as
sembly, is placed in position.
The Illinois art commission. which
has been placed in charge Of the mat
ter of selecting the design and sculp-
tor, as well as the location and ground
plan for the statue, has decided that
the states greatest son must be hon.
ored in a manner BETTING his emf
nence. Instead of placing his statue
in spot of the capitol grounds bare
ly distinguishable from any other
spot, it is planned to make the statue
a central point around which the cap
itol grounds, the street in front of
the capitol and the public buildings
and grounds shall radiate.
In determining upon this course the
art commission is following the for
eign idea of placing statues in small
distinctive plots instead of small
spot of larger grounds. When the
site of the Lincoln statue is selected
it is probable that the capitol grounds
will be changed to conform with the
statue site and that even the street
in front of the state house will be
changed to run in a sweeping curve,
with the Lincoln statue occupying
prominent island" between the street
and a new driveway to be built in the
capitol grounds.
Some of the leading sculptors of the
country are at work on designs for
the proposed Lincoln statue, which
will be ready for dedication in Con-
nection with the Illinois Centennial
celebration to be held in 1913.

WHO OWNS THE TILE,
BLACKWELL OR MAYER?

Robert Blackwell bought 4 piece of
land a few days ago from Fred Mayer,
and, according TO the purchaser, the
understanding at the time was that he
was to have everything on the land in
Guided in the purchase. There is Tile
ditch on this particular piece of prop
erty and the new owner decided that
he did not need this addition so sold
the tile to Peter Morris and Tony
George. The two buyers of the tile
proceeded thereupon to remove their
newly acquired purchase but were ar
rested yesterday afternoon while doing
so.
Mayer swore out the warrant for the
arrest of the two men, claiming that
he had not included the tile in selling
the property to Mr.. Blackwell. The
case came up for hearing before Mag
istrate Frank Gustafson in police court
this morning but was continued until
Mayer and Blackwell can get together
and make a satisfactory settlement.

something resembling a sigh Of re

SNAKE POISON TESTED
AS A HYDROPHOBIA CURE

Paris. France, July 16.-Whether
snake poison is likely to prove a cure
for hydrophobia is a question put to
the French Academy of Science by
Edmond Perrier. the director of the
Paris Natural History Museum, who
read this week a paper relating to
the experiments OF a French woman
scientist. Nine. Phisalix. with a serum
composed of asp venom and the mu-
cous secretions of the salamander.
Nine. Phisalix, in experimenting
with snake poison, was struck by the
similarity between its symptoms and
hydrophobia. Knowing that the mu-
cous secretion of some lizards is an
antidote. for snake bite, she tried a
mixture of snake poison and the anti
dote as preventive serum for hydro
phobia
Rabbits innoculated with the serum
showed themselves proof against an
injection of the rabies microbe. Such
immunity, however. did not last be-
yond = fortnight, so Nine. Phisalix is
now endeavoring TO find a permanent
serum.

held for ransom

much credence to these rumors but

TO BAKE BEANS

We invariably have baked beans for
Saturday night suppers and as use
gas wholly for cooking the cost of max
ing them is quite an item; so cook
them as follows, writes a contributor:
After breakfast I put them on to par
boil without having soaked them over
night, and cook them until they begin
to shriyel, then I put In teaspoonfuI
of soda and let them boil up quickly,
then prepare as usual, except that /
use covered aluminium pan in place
of a bean pot, and try to put in enough
water so that none needs to be added
(about one-half an inch above the
beans). l cover them and STRAIT them

over the simmering burner, set the
beans there and let them cook all day.
They are delicious brown.

USE And BEAUTY
IN BUTTONHOLES

Buttonholes should be made large
enough to allow the button to slip
through without pressure.
Buttonholes should be worked on
the right side of double material, at
least one fourth of an inch from the
edge of the garment. The distance
between them is regulated by the ma
terial and by the size and location of
the buttons.
The beauty OF the buttonhole de-
ponds largely upon the straightneSs
of the cut, the regularity of distance
between the stitches and the even
ness of the stitches in depth.
Make buttonholeS firm, with a fan
at the end receiving the strain, and
finish with a bar on the other end. A
vertical buttonhole with strains at
neither end should be finished with a
bar at each end. ~:.. \ e.
Use thread to correspond with the
weight of the material. Let the thread
be long enough to work the entire
buttonhole
