Do not curb the small boy's enthusi asm, but save him from recklessness, that is all. Jesse James, son of Jesse James, the outlaw, has been enrolled in the circuit court as an attoruey-at-law. He passed the examination June 9 before the state board of examiners and made the highest grade in a class of 37. His average was 91. Under the guidance of President But ler of Columbia 500 British teachers will visit this country and Canada dur ing the mext school year. This visit has been planned by Sir Alfred Mosley, whose visiting commission in 1003 found that our women teachers were making American youth effeminate and that they were underpaid. Professor Felix Adler. founder of the Society of Ethical Culture and former ly a member of the Cornell faculty, not 'long ago was speaking of a position in an educational institution. It was va cant and the professor was to select an incumbent. "I am not quite sure." he said, "whether to get a man of ed ucation from New England or a man of ability from Chicago." Ex-flovernor Odell of New York is believed to be in a fair way to resume the political power which was wrested from hini some time ago. He and Senator Piatt were violently antagon istic for many moons, but now each needs the other's help. The result is likely to be a combination which will dictate the next nomination for gover nor. Odell lias been hard ai work for six months trying to rehabilitate him self and those in "the know" say they would not be surprised to see him land on top once more. A vast audience in Albert hall. Lon don, the other day heard Mine. Patti. who is C3, and Saniley, who is over 70. and both ar said to have sung as though in the prime of their powers. Patti has preserved her voice by tak ing the most scrupulous care of it; Saniley attained the same result by accustoming his throat to being bare in all weathers. Older American con cert goers will remember seeing the English baritone walking about the streets in the most inclement weather without giving his throat any more pro tection than was afforded by a loose turned-down collar cut unusually low At a recent dinner in Boston at whiah a number of clergvmen were present there was some good natured chaff between Bishop Hall of the Epis copal diocese of Vermont and Presi dent Buckham of the Vermont univer sity. The latter had been joked re garding the case with which anybody could join the Congregational church and he replied by telling of a negro who had applied repeatedly for mem bership of St. Paul's Episcopal church In Burlington. According to Dr. Buck- ham Bishop Hall was not satisfied that the negro's state of mind justified ad mission, so he advised the applicant to pray that his spiritual condition might improve. After doing so he made a new application. The bishop said to him: "Well, Erastus. have you prayed as I told you to?" "Yas, indeedy. suh; I done prayed an I done tole de Lawd I wants to jine St. Paul's church, an de Lawd he say to me 'Good hick. 'Rastus; I been tryin' to jine dat church fo' 20 years mahse'f.' Proepeots In Illinois. St. Louis Republic: With existing conditions withia the republican ranks in Chicago and the northern part of the state, the chances for Illinois dem ocrats controlling the next legislature on joint ballot are materially im proved. The democratic state organization and leaders of the party, regardless of factional differences, appreciate the fa vorable circumstances and are urging the nomination of two members of the house of representatives in every sen atorial district where there is the least possibility of a democratic victory. Chicago democrats, united for the first time In 12 years, are consistenly following this plan, and the number of uom'nn I ti3 for the lower house will be at least double the figure for 1904. The brutal republican majority in" the senate, the direct result of th 1904 landslide,- makes it practically- impos sible for the democrats to control that body, as nearly every i hold-over sena tor is a republican. With two nominations, however, for the lower house in every contestable district, the outlook is most promising for a biz democratic majority in the house and consequent control of the joint session of the legislature, which will elect a successor to Shelby II. Cul-lom. The ltu-ie Bill. After one of the most strenuous con tests the congress of the United States has known, the administration measure for the regulation of interstate trans portation went to the president for signature containing most of the pro visions for which he contended. The enactment of the law is a con cession to the demands of the national platforms of both the great political parties, though it is in reality more of a democratic than a republican measure. Much more so that it is not the make shift which the Aldrich combine in tho senate would have had it. is due to the able support and ill-requited loyalty given the president throughout the long struggle by democratic senators. The new act strengthens the original interstate commerce law and makes more efficient the control of the inter state commerce commission over inter state traffic. The iower of the commis sion is not so great as it would have been if the court review provisions ad vocated by democratic senators, under the leadership of Senator Bailey, had been incorporated, but the restrictions upon summary court injunctions are accepted by democrats like Senator Tillman as making the measure fairly effective. That the measure is more democratic than republican is readily seen by ref erence to the national platforms adop ted by the two parties in 1904. The republicans in their platform did little more than "point with pride" to the rather meager achievement of their party in providing "additional remedies for the prevention of discrimination in freight rates." The democratic platform on which the conservative Parker made his race for the presidency contains the direct demand for such enlargement of the powers of the interstate commerce commission as would protect the inter state shipper and the interstate trav eler from unjust discrimination of any sort. The president's prosecutions of rebaters and unlawful combinations en gaged in interstate traffic have also accorded much more nearly with the demands of the democrats than witn those of the republican platform of 1 904. Yate9 in Cook County. Former Governor Yates will, on July 9, open his campaign in Cook county. He will make 20 speeches, perhaps more, and will keep up a continual fire upon the. enemy until Aug. 3. "There will be something doing in Cook coun ty. By the time Yates gets through with the "trust press" of Chicago and the gigantic federal combine there, they will know that somebody has im pressed the people with the truth. This somebody is Richard Yates. Exaggerated Reports. While the recent earthquake in San Francisco was the most terrible and the conflagration which followed prob ably the most extensive and destruc tive in the history of the country, the earlier reports were all exaggerated. Without any exaggeration whatever, we believe Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will aid any sick man or woman very materially in recovering their former good health. Thousands have volun tarily written us to the effect that the Bitters made them strong and robust after all other remedies had failed. You therefore owe it to yourself to give it a fair trial at once. For 53 years it has been making stomachs strong and digestions perfect, thus cur ing sick headache, flatulency, sour ris ings, nausea, cramps, diarrhoea, indi gestion, dyspepsia, costiveness, or ma laria, fever and ague.

Donald Hibbartl, a young profesjor iu in college for cleaf Minutes, determined to siend his summer vacation in com pany! with auotlT member of the f fac ulty, VMaurice rxtt?r, in Europe, In orderto be free tfrom the cares of ftrav el theVtwo friends joined one of hhose touring parties fthe managers of which sendipeople off'like children In etire of a nurse. They found it convenient during; their travels wheal Rieai;iug on subjects in which they -desired not to be ovurrheard to use the 'sign language, with which, of' course, both were per fectly familiar; not tbatfthey wene ob trusive in this respect, (for they were carefuH not to thus converse with their lingersein company, only using it'when no one was very near them. One Ulay on the steamer going out they were walking the deck. The weather was rongh they were moving against a strong-; northeaster and very few passengers were In their steamer chairs. The wind Interfered with their lieariugso they naturally fell into 4'ffn- gor f alk Ilibbard was siesiking: "I suppose all of us unwedded Ixnen have our? ideas of marriage so faras it pertains to 11s individually. Tn my own csise I consider it dependent upon two tilings Srsr. I would know the- girl I would nuirry on sight; second, propin quity thsit is. I must le thrown a good devil in her company.' "TU you ever decide on sight that youtwouldininrry a girl?" "l have 'already met with such a casv. Poyou see that girl over there rea ding aTcagazine? Well, as soon as I latkl eyes on her I .felt that I could pass my life with her happily." "TJien why not try to get her? Your first requiremeait has been reached, and (the second is likely to Ik? realized. Yon I will probably be together on thia trip if or two months." "That is exactly what I propose to do." Thetwo men soon, after adjourned to theVsmokiug cabin. passing the girl iu questfion, who still hail her eyes glued toUhe magazine. Ilibbard soon after secured an introduction and be gan to iiyher occasional attentions. These slac received "almly, as she would thee of.anyrone.tsho might meet traveling pind .did not expect to meet after the irip wasttlnished. Neverthe less she iwver shunned them, and Ilib bard found in her a great storehouse of food for conversation. He never wearied when in ler company, and his friend Ierxter fouud hini quite dull when he vivas not with her. Indeed, before the vessel reached the French coast Hil?.ard ami the lady were at least lon 1 com pa 11 tons. They made a tour of Switzerland and northern Italy, and on renting the steamer for their return were considered -Jy the other mem'ers of the 'touring party to .be J engaged. That they 'were mot was no fault of Hibbard's, for lie had proposed at Chamounix 'while the highest peaks of the Alps looked down on them. The young lady had not refused li5m; she had simply 'declined to give an answer until after their arrival in America. Whether this was because she had not made up her mind that she loved him or wished ho make inquiries about him or doubted the constancy of his feel ings for her she did not tell him, and he .remained in ignorance of her rea son. The voyage homeward was nat-t urally a period of profound suspense to Ilibbard, but no reasoning 'or plead ing would Induce the lady to alter her resolution, and he was obliged to suf fer. They returned to . their respective homes, Ilibbard to New York and she to Albany, where she lived a part of the time. At parting he end-eavored to persuade her to fix a date for him to go to her and receive his answer, but she declined to give him any satisfac tion. When tlney parted he did not know that she would ever send for him. Ilibbard, leing dependent on a small salary, concluded that the lady feared he might not be able to give her a liv ing except on the borders of poverty. But this was a surmise. He reached homo a month before his college duties were to commence and two weeks later received a letter from an institu tion in Boston similar to the one In which he taught offering him a much larger salary than he was receiving. He took a train for Boston the same evening and in the morning was usher ed into the office of the president, of the institution that had made the offer. A woman sat writing at a desk with her back to him. Presently she arose and turned. Ilibbard saw the girl with whom he had matle the tour. She came forward, a tinge of red in her cheek. "The president?" exclaimed her lover. "The president. I have built and en dowed this institution. I had a sister who was a deaf mute and thus became Interested in this work." "And you used the sign language in your family?" exclaimed the professor, remembering with horror the words he had spoken in finger talk to his friend more than two months before. "Yes, and your proposition was known to me the first day I saw you. You but interpreted my own resolution with regard to yourself." She spoke the last word with averted head, and Ilibbard, advancing, took her in his arms, Ilibbard, having been accepted by the president, accepted the president's offer. It was not long, however, lie fore the president came under the orders of a little stranger and resigned her offi cial position In favor of her husband, though she continued to supply the needs of the Institution from her ample fortune. ELEANOIMTERROLD. MOLINE IS SHORT Not Enough Parker Votes to Cive Delegate to Democratic Conventions. COMMITTEE FINDS PUZZLE Peculiar Situation Confronts County Organization Appeal May Be Taken to State Committee. Because too many Moline democrats voted for Debs in 1904. they may have no representation on the delegations to the democratic state, congressional and senatorial conventions. It was a very peculiar situation that the county committee found itself confronted with in the establishing of the lines of the delegate districts, at its adjourned meet ing last evening, but finally decided upon a plan placing the two precincts of the beventh ward, of the Sixth ward, of the Fifth ward, and the first precinct, of the Fourth ward, which has a total of 13.S votes for Parker, in one district, and the second precinct of the Fourth ward goes with the two precincts of the Third ward, of the Second ward, and of the First ward, with the total of 134 Parker votes, to make up the other Moline district. Neither Hum 200 Vote. The calls for the state, congress ional, and senatorial conventions are on a basis of one delegate for 200 votes ' and as neither of these Moline districts has the required 200, neither was given a delegate. Not only was the committee confronted with that situation, but there was also the fact that the law re stricts all delegate districts to seven contiguous precincts in Moline that had as a total 200 votes. .None of the committeemen from Mo line were in attendance at either meet ing of the committee to offer any solu tion of the problem. However, there was division of sentiment in the com mittee as to what disposal should bo made of the situation. Nevertheless, near ly e very member and democrat present favored adjusting things in Moline's fav or if possible. It was finally concluded that if the democrats of that city were not satisfied with the districts and rep resentation, an appeal could be taken to the states committee and a settle ment of the question reached in that manner. The call for the county convention will be based on one delegate for 23 votes or major fraction. Klulit UiHtrlrtn. The committee divided the county into eight districts, with votes as fol lows: No. 1 Cordova. 44; Port Byron, 40; Coe, 49; Canoe Creek. 21; Zuma, 49; Hampton, third precinct, 23; total, 235; delegates. 1.

ItritulilifiinM W rpxtlliiK. The republican county committee is wrestling this afternoon with the prob lem of making the delegate district. While the sentiment seems to be in fa vor of following geographical- lines of wards and townships as much as pos sible, it now seems probable that there will be a division of Hampton, of South Moline. and the Seventh ward of Rock Inland put in with the First ward of Moline.

Since the ad journment of congress it has developed that extensive repairs must be mads to the White house before President Roosevelt and his family return nr-xi autumn.

Some of the work done on the White house al that time has failed.
