very pointed and timely editorial article

output Of the last session of our state

number OF legislators WAS about 1000.
and their enactmcnts cover substantially
i3,40O pages. embracing 20,5lo chapters
and ljl,0S3 heads and sub-heads. The
subjects of leg station include many IN
tercst!ng and intimate sumptuary rcgu-
lations that make one realize that a
historic medieval period is repeating
itself

II the Fusion Government Splits.

should the political Inflammation
now easily discernible in the Board
Of Estimate result in definite align
ment of the members Of that body ac-
cording TO their partisan affiliations,
Republicans and Democrats would
have eight votes each. Mr.. mitchell
and Mr.. MCANENY. with three votes
apiece. and Mr.. CONNOLLY and Mr..
MCCORMACK would constitute the
Democratic strength. Mr.. PRrNDfR-
CAST with three votes, Mr.. POUNDS
and Mr. MARKS with two each. and
Mr.. MATHrwsoS with one. as Repub-
leans, would oppose them. The board
would be evenly divided: and on
paper the opportunities for log roll.
ing would be excellent.
But the separation of the board in
camps of unyielding partisans is not
likely to occur. Mr.. MCANLNY. for
example, holds too firmly to the theory
that city affairs should hc managed
on business principles to he projected

must be subordinated TO the exigen.

Leans would he in their support from
Albany. Until January the State will
have Il Republican Governor ana leg

the Executive and the Senate will
remain Republican throughout 1916.

state administration Is n combination

The visitor picked out one valued ut 81

price.
The man suddenly ordered Geist to
move TO the rear OF the store and to
hold UP his hands and as Geist did not
obey at once he produced a revolver.
Geist then obeyed and the man fired
two shots. both of which went wild.
Geist droped down behind his counter
and, reaching underneath a showcase,
grabbed the mans legs. and the thief
fred a third shot, aiming under the
counter.
Mrs. Geist started to scream and the

LIV-VER-LAX
All the Effectiveness, Not the e.
feet OF Galomel.

Liv-Ver-Lax is n of the most
important medical discoveries Of re-
cent years. For a long time medi-
cal experts, realizing the harmful
effects of calomel, have been striv-
ing to find a liver cleanser that
would be just as effective as calo-
mel, and yet be absolutely harmless
in its action. Recently this remedy
was actually put forth by L. K.
Grigsby. in his Liv-ver-Lax.
Liv-Ver-Lax is a harmless vege-
table compound, designed solely for
the tratment of liver complaints.
The immediate favor it has met with
in thousands of homes is proof pos
tive of its real value.
If you feel worn out, tongue
coated, and skin sallow, don't delay
until it becomes dangerous, nip the
trouble in the bud with Liv-Ver-
Lax.
Insist on the genuine, bearing the
signature and likeness of L. X.
Grigsby, which is guaranteed to
give satisfaction or money refund

JOHN w. GATES.

AS q boy Mr.. Gates grew up on an
Illinois farm near Turner Junction. At
school he showed remarkable aptitude for
learning anything which he particularly
wanted to know. His first work was
clerking in a small hardware store, Of
which he became manager at the age of
eighteen and a few years later, its pro-
prietor-
Through his hardware business he be-
came acquainted with a manufacturer Of
barbed wire and was induced to take 2
trip to Texas as a salesman. Barbed
wire was a new thing. His trip was sue
~cessful. Mr.. Gates saw the great posi-
biiities Of this article and he decided to
enter the business himself and his factory
at st. Louis proved profitable. When
competition got too strong Mr.. Gates cons
ceiyed the idea Of consolidating all the
barbed wire factories. In 1903 he became
president Of the combination and also Of
the Illinois Steel Co.
Mr.. Gates was noted principally because
Of his stock speculations. He was known
around the world as MISREPRESENTATION"
Gates and for many years was concerned
in every corner in wheat. At his death
he left a fortune Of forty million dol.
