The committees in the Illinois Senate have been announced. Senator Johns, of this district gets the chairmanship of the Committee on Elections, and is also a member of the Committees on Judiciary, Appropriations, Insurance, State Charitable Institutions, Education and Educational Institutions. Miners and Mining, County and township Organizations. Military Affairs and Federal Relations. Senator Johns is eminently qualified to give the state good service in all of these important committees.

He will be kept quite busy as an active member of ten committees. He is exceedingly fortunate for a new member in obtaining such generous recognition. The Charity Fund. The Annual Thanksgiving Charity Ball of the Relief Committee wat this year postponed to a later date, as the managers of the so -iety found that an unusual press of social events would make it difficult to arrange for the ball at the usual time. The concert given by the Methodist Choir and Opera Orchestra at the First M.

E. Church, temporarily replenished the treasury of the society, and it was decided to postpone the ball to a more convenient season. This fund is now nearly exhausted, and the ladies will soon be left without money, unless some effort is made very soon to increase the fund on hand. It is probable, therefore, that the Charity Ball will be given in the near future. The ball will undoubtedly be.

as it has been in the past, the social event of the season. It is never necessary to urge our citizens to support the Relief society, as its good works are too well known to need advertising, and we have no doubt that the ball will again give to our charitable ladies the means of relieving the destitute and giving help to the deserving poor.
