 On the general principles that anything must be better than the Thompson gang and that nothing could be worse Tuesdays primary elec- outcome gives pleasant feeling. The whack- Smith, the defeat of Bowzy Bill in his own ward, the success of the Lowden delegates, the election of Mrs. Mccormick, are clear evidence that the Illinois Republicans were disgusted with the shameless graft idiocy and violence of the gangs who were in power
 How thorough and how lasting is this disgust remains to be Thompson has been beaten before and has recovered. Republican politics in Illinois is largely matter of factional combina- tions of the ins and outs, and one can be sure that the machine which won on Tuesday won't before the snow flies again have made some sort of deal with the machine which lost eternal enmity against the Thompson organization is no guarantee, judging by the experience of the past, and that there won't be alliance in the future. One rejoice that Thompson was trounced on Tuesday, but after looking at the forces which trounced him, there is no particular reason for assuming that the political system of which he was part has been destroyed In some ways the most interesting phase of the election was the success achieved by ex-Goy Lowden in the contest for delegates to the Re- publican National Convention. He has demon- strated his strength in his State, and that should add greatly to the strength of his candi-
 larger part of the Illinois delegation, he should be much bigger factor in the convention than most people in the East ordinarily assume His strength in delegates will be sufficient to win more consideration for the merits of his can didacy.

What We May Have Missed.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Senator Borah and the Anti-Saloon League most likely will make capital out of the discovery of the Ward diary, last week purchased by Dr. A. S. Rosenbach, Philadelphia bibliophile, for the sum of $50,000.
 The diary gives first-hand account of the death of Shakespeare and the proximate cause of his demise. the bards of all time His mind was fathomless He was all things within the spell of Apollo's divine beneicence. He stands today, sovereign and alone in a matchless realm of his own creation.
 But what might not he have done, this of immortal imaginings, had he not permitted his geniaity and human appetite to smte him in the fullness of his powers in the heyday of his intellectual exuberance?
 This likely is what the Anti-Saloon League now probably will be asking. Indeed 1t is quite possible that the Senator from Idaho may send revelations
 For, be it known of all men, William Shakespeare 'ded of feavour" because he drank too much. So says the manuscript diary kept by the Rev. John Ward, vicar of Stratford-on- Avon from 1862 to 16S1
 The book covers the years from 164S to 1879, and belonged to the Medical Society of London. A few extracts have heretofore been printed, but tife- greater part of the work had not been pub lshed. The passage detailing the fatal drink ing bout follows:
 Shakespeare, Drayton and Ben Jon
 son had merry meeting and, it seems,
 drank too hard, for Shakespeare died of
 a feavour there contracted Sad, indeed, had the wonder bard lived he might even have rivaed the fame of Twentieth Century writers and statesmen

 Eugenics is all right in its way, but it's sweet tempers and not strong bodies that make marriage a real success.

est sense of that term The Judge and Mrs. Brown were ideally happy. It is hard to picture married life in which the relationship between husband and wife was finer than theirs. Only last year they had the joy of having all their family reunited with them-their daughters and their husbands, and their grandchildren, and both the Judge and Mrs. Brown seem to flower again : in the happiness of the lives that had come to bless their family circle
 Judge Browns memory will long be cherished among us, not only as that of a citizen. active in public affairs and loyal to his convictions and associa- tions, but as a man who in his family life, as husband and father exemplifed what the head of a true American home should be.

Stomach Troubles

There are many symptoms of
ulcers of the stomach, some of
which are a typical chronic pain
which occurs from one to three or
four hours following the meal. 1t
is a sharp, cutting excruciating
type OF pain, present as soon as the
stomach has emptied itself of food.
Chemically it is usually due to
n hyperacid secretion. We also find
a great deal of gaseous distention,
a feeling of discomfort, distress
and sometimes nausea which is
characteristic of this ailment." The

miles west of the city, for a box of
dates which Secretary Hays believes
are probably the largest dates i'll
captivity. They are almost as large
as fair-sized hen eggs, and of cxcep-

the moment they occupy the position
of honor in the chambers exhibit
case, and its most priced possession.
The chamber is very anxious to
have exhibits of Imperial Valley
products, or anything which borders
on the rare or curious. One of its
exhibits is piece of pctrified wood
bearing well defined axe mark,
loaned for exhibition purposes by
George Land. Such specimens in
variably attract much attention
when placed on exhibition, and in
terest passersb by. Hays states that
he would much like to have a very
large stalk of cotton, with bolls IN
all stages, for exhibition. His last
stalk grew up, and the bolls matured
and opened, and he has big hand
ful of cotton ready to be ginncd, but
