Drought Becomes Oppressive. It is not the fault of the weather man who has been a i predicting precipitation all the way from showers to thunder storms for two week, but just the same, it. can't rain. Day after day the clouds gather, the wind rises, and everybody says "Here it comes." Then in a few minutes they "There it goes," and it is gone. The drought is becoming severe and a few days more of it will seriously affect gardens and lawns.

Tljis condition is local with Edwardsville, as there 'been heavv storms only a few is punisha'ble. Section 68 of the new primary miles distant several times since we have known a rain. According to I Section Director William G.

Information may be lodged against the party concerned in either the county or circuit court.

Any candidate or other person furnishing, paying or promising to pay or furnish or bribing any person with money, intoxicating liquor or anything of value, shall not be liable to punishment therefor, but the party receiving any such payment, gift or promise, is liable.

v. B. Sullin, pastor of the East Alton Methodist church, yesterday that he would oppose the. acceptance by the church of the granitoid sidewalk i as a i to the church by the five saloonkeepers of East Alton. The saloonkeepers headed by Mayor R.

E. Douglas gave tlie walk, which the church has long needed, way of returning good for evil. "The church foujjht us hard in the local option election a few months ago," said Douglas, "so we we should show them wp 'understood Christian teachings, and 'Could love our enemies." But Pastor Sullin doesn't care for that kind of love. He said; "If I or any officer of the church had known who was a i for that sidewalk, the workmen would never have been allowed to lay it. When we asked about it, we were told that it was 'being paid for by friends.

To keep it the saloon men have announced that it is their gift, would be accepting tainted money indeed. I shall favor notifying the saloon men that their gift is not wanted, and if they do not take ij. away. I Shall urge that the church tear it up. Thomas Philbrick, a member of the church's official board, endorsed the pastor's view.

He said the walk was laid last Monday morning and that the work was done unexpectedly, and so quickly that there was no time to learn who was behind it. The gift sidewalk is 50 feet long and cost between and $100. It extends from the public sidewalk to the church door. The donors are Douglas, Chris Picker, George Hendricks, Charles Chessen and Thomas Watson. Transfers of Eeal Estate.
