of Schools MISS MARIETTA A. NEEL. Illinois continues to forge ahead. It now holds third place among the states in accidents of all kinds. Food inspectors in the loop district of Chicago condemned as unfit and destroyed 84,982 pounds of foodstuff last week.

Let the good work go on. Chicago's people dump dollars yearly into the pockets of fortune tellers. James S. Harlan of Chicago has been appointed by President Roosevelt to a position on the Interstate Commerce Commission. The vindication that Roger Sullivan received at the hands of the Democratic state convention at Peoria is not such as an honest man would care for.

It is a noteworthy fact that when out riding Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, the Empress of Germany and the Czarina of Russia all occupy the saddle in the good old fashioned way. We wonder if the fellow who said that a table for a family of five could be well supplied with staples and luxuries at an expense of $5 a week was ever a practical cook. There are known to be four dollars in the republican campaign fund-one from President Roosevelt, one from Congressman Longsworth, one from a man from Illinois-and the fellows on the band wagon are playing "Every Little Bit Helps." The Cannon presidentinal boom was launched as per announcement at the eighth district republican convention at Danville Thursday and our Uncle Joe is now on the high way to the white house. Let us hope he won't get lost in the crowd.

No need to hurry work on the isthmain canal. Just let nature alone and it she does another stunt like that at San Francisco in April and at Valpriso last week, she will probably dig the ditch herself and save Uncle Sam a mint of money. That Ohio jurist who ruled recently that a woman's age is a "sacred secret" and should be respected as such would be canonized or given a niche in the hall of fame if womanhood in general and bachelor womanhood in particular had the bestowal of such honors in charge. Richard Yates, the dicky bird of 11- linois republicianism, says he hasn't warbled half sO long as some of his fellow politicians and, as he hasn't been caged in the senate he feels free to sing when he will, where he will and as long as he will in the present campaign. At the first district convention held in Chicago last week, Edward H.

Green colored, was defeated in his fight for renomination for the house of representatives, where he has served one term. He is from the "black belt," of Chicago and is the second negro to have occupied a seat in the lower house, the first being his predecessor, Edward H. Morris. Sec. of State Root, who is now making a tour of our sister American continent, is so deeply impressed with the business posibilities lying undeveloped in Brazil, Argentine and the west coast dominions that he is ready to offer a pharaphrase of Greeley's famous piece of advice and say to each of his aspiring compatriots, "Go south, young man, and grow up with the country." The indorsement of William J.

Bryan by the Democratic state convention gives a deserved tribute to one of the purest statesmen of the present time. No man of modern times has grown in public esteem as he has grown, all because he is honest, consistent and has the interests of the masses at heart. He is against graft in all its phases and stands for a government "by the people and for the people." Hurrah for Bryan! DOINGS IN POLICE COURT Judge Scott a Busy Man. William of Windsor, Henry Majors of Terre Haute and Paul Phillips of this city were each assessed $3 and costs in Magistrate Scott's tribunal yesterday for intoxication. Among interesting cases on docket for today is that arising from the misunderstanding between George Kizer and Wilbur Hinds which took place Saturday and the trial of four young people, two youths and two girls, for disorderly conduct at the ond street station of the city railway company Saturday night.

Jack Reed will also be "up against it" on charge of having assaulted Ross Cannon with a hoe. All in all, this is one of Judge Scott's busy days. OLD RESIDENT DEAD Stephen Van Deren Answers Fnal Call. Monday, at the hospital for the insane at Kankakee to which institution he was sent for treatment some time ago, Stephen Van Deren, for many years a resident of Paradise township, answered the final summons, death resulting from a general break down of his system. Mr.

Van Deren was born in Kentucky in 1830 and came with his parents to Illinois in 1840, locating in Coles county in what is now Paradise township. In 1848 he went to California in quest of gold but returned in 1850 to Coles county where he afterward continued to make his home. He was married twice, his first wife being a Miss Wilson, by whom he had three children- -Stephen of Springfield, and Joseph and Lizzie of California. His second wife was Miss Anna Coleman who, together of Paradise and Miss Maggie, living at with two children, John Van Deren home, survive him. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon and the interment was made at Zion Hill cemetery, in Paradise township.

Two little girls out playing last week near Tuscola came across a big roll of money which proved to be the $1,000 in grenbacks lost recently by B. H. Murray of Pesotum. J. H.

Moomau, the father of one of the children returned the money to the owner. Disease takes no summer vacation. If you need flesh and strength use Scott's Emulsion summer as in winter. Send for free sample. SCOTT BOWNE, Chemists, 70-415 Pearl Street, York.
