ing Clause Fails-Stormy
Session in the House.

Springfield. Ill. June 3.-The public
utilities home rule bill today survived
( stormy session in the lower house OF
the legislature. An amendment was
added 20 it making it apply to Chicago
only. and an unsuccessful effort was
made to kill the measure by striking
out its enacting clause. It was expect
ed that the bill would be advanced to

AS amended today. the bill leaves
the powers OF the state public utilities
commission intact. except that it gives
the Chicago city council the power to
regulate public utilities in that city,
with the exception of railroads, tele-
graph companies and intra-state trac-
tion lines.
Last week the house amended the
home rule bill TO make 1t applicable TO
all municipalities upon referendum
vote. This amendment would have
reduced the powers OF the state utili-
ties commission 70 about the limited
powers enjoyed by the old railroad and
warehouse commission. Il was init
mated yesterday that Governor Dunno
would have vetoed the bill if it had
been passed in the 10. N making it ap
ply 10 all municipalities.
Representative Hubbard OF Greene
county offered the motion 10 strike out
the enacting clause and thereby kill
the bill in any form. However. this
motion was defeated by vote of 81 TO
g.. Representative Frankhauser of
Chicago offered the amendments max
ing the measure apply 10 Chicago
only. The amendments were drafted
with the aid OF Corporation Counsel
Folsom OF that city.

 Prosecuting Attorney Fisk had four young men before the borough court last Saturday charged with breach of the peace and creating disturbance at Stafford Hollow on the night of March 18th. Two were discharged and two were fined $1 and cost. From the testimony of one of the young men Prosecuting Agent W. H. Reed charged Louis DeCarle with violation of the liquor laws. He was found guilty and fined $25. Attorney |O'Connell appeared for the accused in both cases.
 The writer of the fishing verses to, the pastor of St. Edwards church. The poem appears this week for the first time in several large dailies, many of whose readers, in various states, are waiting to wet their lines when "the law is off" April first In the near future the subject will be thrown upon the screen in motion pictures reproducing local woods and streams. A peculiar feature about the poem is the occasion that gave it birth. It was written by very sick man. Too ill to use the rod, as he had done for years on April first, he tack led the pen, or rather pencil, and set down his thoughts. Every line If the twenty stanzas was written in bed, Tn single day, April ], 1914, while the writer of them was too weak to sit up The verses were copied the next day by some of his friends and kept full year without publica tion till this week. Not line or word has been altered from the origina draft made by him in lead pencil. This fact is not the least re- markable feature of the composition. Now the writer's fresh air friends are hoping, without wishing him any harm, that he may fall ill again, or rather stay abed, on the first day of the hunting season. If he can sing such high praises for the rod, what would he not do for his prime favo- rite, the gun?

Statements That May Be Investigated. Testimony of Stafford Springs
 Citizens.


 Citizens.
 When Stafford Springs citizen comes to the front, telling his friends and neighbors of his experience, you can rely on his sincerity. The state- ments of people residing in far away places do not command your con. fidence. Home endorsement is the kind that backs Doan's Kidney Pills. Such testimony is convincing. h. vestigation proves it true. Below is statement of a Stafford Springs resident. No stronger proof of merit can be had.
 George Irons, farmer, Furnace Ave, Stafford Springs, says: My back became lame and sore and I knew that my kidneys were dis. ordered. I got supply of Doan's Kidney Pills at the Eaton Drug Store and the first box made great inn provement. After l had used three boxes. I was free from the trouble. Since then when I have taken Doan's Kidney Pills. they have benefited me. n

THE FISHER BOY AND TROUT.

 For of all the dates to fear That occur within the year
 That's the worst. Then the fisher men and boys Will be out with their decoys
 Ere the light, When the joy of every man Is to catch you if he can
 Ere the night. My Johnny knows the date, See him digging near the gate,
 With hoe? And the old tomato can Standing near little man Means he'll go. Before the rooster crows He'll slip on his little clothes,
 Two in all, And he'll say his shortest prayers As he scampers down the stairs
 Thru the hall. Too sick to go to school  He will seek the glassy pool
 Diamond Brook, Where the birds and babbling noise Have more charms for healthy boy,
 Than book. My little Johnny knows From his eyebrows to his toes
 How to fish, And he loves your crimson spots And your little golden dots
 On his dish. If Johnny were man Sporting tackle spick and span
 You'd look out, But he's such little boy That his tackle seems a toy
 To trout. With no polish on his creel, And no silver on his reel,
 Nor silk line, Just Timber rod of birch, Which he never needs for church,
 And cheap twine. If you peek far up the stream And you see bright face gleam
 In the sun, And the freckles on the nose Match the color of the toes
 He's the one. The label on his tin Says 'pure food" is held within,
 But beware! If you dare to take bite You'll be landed out of sight
 In the air. You may see Wriggling worm Make sweet inviting squirm
 In the foam, And you think it safe to bite Now that Johnny's out of sight
 And gone home. But he's not at home or school, He is playing April Fool
 With the trout. He is hid behind the bank Where he waits for you to yank,
 So look out! If he finds you are too slow He'll pull up his line and go,
 While you look. But he has not gone to stay, He'll come round some other way
 To the brook. On green and messy stone In the rapids all alone,
 Far above, Where the silver bubbles shine He will sit and drop line
 To his love. No little trout would dream That the new bait in the stream
 Comes from John, For it has different look, And another line or hook
 Now is on. It's the best and safest way 4Nob eO ulAO uU all eO'udy,
 Little trout. If your dinner looks so fine And it's hitched to Johnny's line
 You'll come out Now Johnny does not know That his Pa has fixed to go
 The same day. With his hundred dollar kit He will pack his lunch and fit
 Far away. His flashing rod and hook Will be flashing Roaring Brook
 After six, Where he has not told the trout, With such kindness. all about
 Iohnny's tricks. When the fishing trip was Der And the two met at the door
 That same night, Twas the old tomato can That had beaten the old man
 Out of sight. Now the little boy is gray, But he still enjoys the day
 In his dreams, And to God he offers thanks For his boyhood on the banks
 Of the streams. For regular action of the bowels eas, natural movements, relief of constipation try Doan's Regulets. 25c at all stores.
