Sena- tor Penrose of Pennsylvania was an arrival. Others who reached Chicago were Senator Hansbrough of North Dakota, Senator Ankeny of Washington, Judge Judson W. Lyons of Georgia and Cornelius N. Bliss of New York. Many persons who are not members of the national committee, early | but who like to be on the ground at Republican conventions, also came. The leaders have settled down to a discussion of the two disputed topics | which will occupy the conyention and the national committee—the Vice Presidency and contasts.

Becoming s mother should be a source of joy to all, but the suffering and danger incident to the ordesl makes its anticipation one of misery. Mother's Friend is the only remedy which relieves women of the great pain and danger of maternity ; this hour which is dreaded as woman’s severest trial is not only made painless, but all the danger is avoided by its use. Those who use this remedy are no longer despondent or gloomy; mervousness, nansea and ether di i conditions are the system is made ready for the coming event, and the serious accidents so common to the critical bour are obvizted by the mse of Mother’s Frieod. “It is worth its weight in gold,” s many who bave used it. $1.00 per 3 buyz:u at drug stores.

Merrill of St. Clair County. Delegates-at-large to the St. Louis Convention—John B. Hopkins, A. M. Lawrence, Ben T. Cable, Samuel Al- schuler. The convention instructed the dele- gates to the National Convention to vote for William R. Hearst at St. Louis | as long as his name remains before the | of his name, | support | { convention. Hearst’s campaign managers, who attempted to ride into power by the aid received absolutely no consideration from the conyention. The Harrison party, which cdme solely from Chicago and was pledged to the of Congressman James R. Williams, was routed completely. Car- ter H. Harrison was unseated as a del- egate and took a train for home with- out going near the convention. Both his faction and the Hearst party were as nothing as compared with the strength and skillful management of the convention exhibited by Joan P. opkins. rman of the State Central Commit- CHAIRMAN QUINN A CZAR. John P. Quinn of Peoria, who presid- and permanent chairman, paid lutely no attention to men or mo- when they did not jibe with the Interest of the Hopkins party, and in e instance at least he declared a motion carried before the Hearst and Hagrison people had voted upon it. The urzi)z:mee on \resolutions finished its work ear]y, but it was decided by the | chairman to withhold it until he knew what action the Héarst people would take on the report of the committee on credentials. The report of the commit- on credentials said simply: “We ieve everything done by the State tral Committee in seating and unseating delegates was just and prop- er, and we recommend that its work be indorsed.” The report was adopted, Chairman Quinn refusing the demand of the Har- rison and Hearst delegates for a roli call.

CROLLIUS FOLLOWS SUIT. William C. Crollius of Joliet follow- ed in a brief speech indorsing the stand taken by Prentiss, and a with- drew his name from the convention. Lawrence B. Stringer of Lincoln and Clarence S. Darrow of Chicago were named for Governor. Darrow declined to run and Stringer was nominated by acclamation. A feature of the platform is that woman suffrage is approved in the fol- lowing plank: Whereas, Iilinols women are an important taxes, of citizenship, but th . should be exercised by them, end that the next Legislature extend to the women further suffrage rights. —_———————— The Bull's Eye.” is the target’s bull's eye so called? This is one of many instances in our language where words have gained a higher status than that with which they started and have been pro- moted from the slang dictionary to the dictionary of words of respectable and current use. Bull's eye is found in the dictionary of “The Canting Crew” so far back as 1690, and was ¥he vulgar word for the central ring of the target used as a mark for archers, which was col- ored differently from the other rings. This may have arisen from the an- cient rounded shields, cut out of ox hide and strengthened with a spike or central boss for this shield or target; hence target was often used as a mark itself. ‘When sheet glass began to be man- ufactured the thickened part, where the tube had been attached, was call- ed the bull's eye. Then this term was successively applied to a lens of glass, Why especially in a ship’s side, to the lens | of the lantern, and finally to the central boss of a target.—London Answers. e e——————— England’s Butter Imports. Of the 223,000 tons of foreign butter used 1 Great Britain last year one- tenth came from her colonies. The London Times, commenting on the dif- ference in quality of the butter from Australia, New Zealand and Canada, says: “In Canada, the government au- thorities appear adverse to the use of boron compounds, which, If used in proper quantities, are perfectly innoc- uous to the health, if not even beneficial. Their use has now been legalized in the United Kingdom, and they possess marvelous powers of pre- serving butter from undergoing any deteriorating change for many ‘months.”—Exchange. 14.—The | to-day | Hopkins will continue to be | er the convention both as tempo- | to the lantern itself | This will be a waist lots of desirable wash and miss this chance.

A couple of weeks ago Tolomei entered the church and carried away the poor box. Later he was found working on a ranch and portions of the box were in his possession. Just what amount {of cash he secured from the box is not known. At first he pleaded not guilty, but this morning he changed the plea to one of guilty. His attorney asked for leniency on the ground that Tolomei was drunk when the crime | was committed. Judge Tuttle then sentenced him to two years in prison. —_———————— Foreign Railroad Notes. The first statement of traffic over the éhinese Eastern Railroad comes from a newspaper in Kharbin, and is for the first eleven months of 1903, during which 1,620,000 passengers were carried and 313,811 tons of freight. Of the freight 32,522 tons were tea and 92,730 tons grain—equal to 3,090,000 bushels of wheat. The freight traffic was 52 per cent, the passenger traffic 69 per cent and the gross earnings 55 per cent greater than the year before, amount- ing to $5,612,389, which is $3561 per mile for the eleven months, which is not so very bad for a railroad not quite com- plete. From the same source comes a | statement of the number of employes— 20,948 Chinese, 18,123 Russians, 17 Aus- | trians, Italians and Swiss, 17 Japanese |and 9 Koreans, or 39,112 in all, which is more than 25 per ymile. Doubtless ! most of these were éngaged in con- struction—so many could not be used in working a line with so little traffic.— Engineering News. First Newspaper. The first num of any American | newspaper was Benjamin Harris’ | “Public Occurrences, both Foreign and | Domestic,” published in Boston on De- cember 25, 1690. But the authorities suppressed it after the first issue. Fourteen years later, on April 24, 1704, James Campbell, postmaster of Bos- ton, issued the first number of the Bos- ton News-Letter, a weekly newspaper, which lived for seventy-two years. The second American newspaper, the Ga- zette, was printed in Boston, and the third, the Weekly Mercury, in Phila- delphia. The first New York news- paper, the New York Gazette, was es- tablished in 1875. Now there are more than 2000 daily newspapers and 15,000 semi-weeklies and weeklles published in tHe United States.—Kansas City Star. . and Fred R.
