TAKE NOTICE.

The Review's Biograghical History of the County Will Com-

mence Soon.

The idea advanced by the Review of the publication of a biographical history of Montgomery county has been received with much interest by the people of the county. It is intended that every man living or dead who has helped to make this county what it is shall be represented in the series of articles which may run for two years. Several have become interested enough to furnish us data in regard to their families and their connection with the building of the county. We desire to get quite a number of them ahead, so that we will not be compelled to stop for lack of material for the purpose of gathering it up after the work has commenced. In fact we would like to have the major portion of the material on file befoie the work is begun, so that the lives and portraits of the older men may be used first. Every man in the county is interested in the work for the reason that it will prevent valuable data that if not rescued will perish in a few years. Let every man whose father was a pioneer of the county bring to this office a biographical sketch and picture, and see that the family is represented in this only history of its kind ever attempted in the state. Don't wait to be called on by special representative but bring them to the office, as others are doing. This is no confidence game, but a work for the benefit of the future. You are urged, invited to aid with your influence this undertaking.

Church Social.

The ladies of the Elmdale Methodist church will give a social on Saturday evening, July 8th, the proceeds for the benefit of the church. The people of Elmdale will let the contract Saturday for a new church building and the social is to help the good work along.

A New Swindle.

The sewing machine fakir is the latest in this State. He offers a first class machine for $15. He collects $5 on the order, another five on delivery aai.1 the last $5 in two months. He is never heard of after the order is taken. Look out for him.

The Toy Pistol

In the hands of the small boy sometimes does great damage, but the Koboe cigar in the hands of the smoker'is harmless and healthful.

Governor Mount Tells How Much

He is Opposed to Trusts.

Something Must

In an another interview with the Sentinel, Governor Mount expressed his ideas in regard to the necessity for some very decisive steps being taken for the destruction of trusts. He is in favor of allowing the law of supply and demand to regulate the price of all articles. This is rank heresy to the doctrine of protection. Let the interview speak for itself.

Indianapol is Sentinel Gov. Mount still says that he will not be able to attend the anti-trust convention called by the governor of Texas at St. Louis because of a previous engagement to be present at the reunion of Wilder's brigade at Chickamauga. In response to a question as to his opinion of trusts and of the coming convention he said: .r\ "I have written the governor of Texas that I believe the coming convention may bear good results. 'In a multitude of counsel there is safety.' I believe that the governors representing many states might be able to make some valuable suggestions to congress and by a general discussion of opinions each state may receive benefit. I said to the governor that I hoped extreme, hot-headed speeches would be avoided. In my opinion the best results would come from conservatism of speech and fearlessness of action." "Do you think many of the trusts will fall to pieces "A great many of them that are organized on wind and fictitious capital will undoubtedly go to pieces, causing heavy loss of money to investors. "After all the real purpose of a trust is to benefit those who organize them and this can be done only by controlling the output and thereby increasing prices as has been done in the case of wire, nails, glass and other commodities too numerous to mention." "Do you condider the trusts a menace?" "They area menace right now and they will be a worse menace." "How can they be successfully attacked

"I have not formulated a law satisfactory to my own mind. They must be attacked by state and national legislation. A law must be enacted against the results of the trusts. Wherever a law is formed for the purpose of restraining trade it ought to be punishable with a heavy fine. What we are trying to do under the Indiana law, and we all admit it is a weak law, is to find such conditions as will give assurance of a conviction

If concerns can combine and control the output they can dictate prices and I never knew of a case where they could not put the prices high enough. Although I am a farmer and my sympathies are with the far mers, I would be opposed to forming a farmers' trust whereby the price of wheat might be arbitrarily fixed at a bushel, thus raising the price of bread to poor people without consid ering their means to pay. In fixing the price of all articles the law of supply and demand ought to control without any artificial assistance."

Woman Suffrage and Prize Fighting The fact that the legislature of Colorado passed a bill permitting prize fights on the payment of $1,000 license, has been used as a text to prove that woman suffrage did not prevent this evil. There were only three women members of this legislature, and all of them voted against the bill. Women constitute a minority in the state, but the powerful woman's Civic Federation in Denver and the woman's club of 1,200 members have passed resolutions of protest against this new law. They also have petitioned the governor to include its repeal in the new list of subjects to be considered if a special session of the legislature is called.

Death of Abram Byrd.

Abram S. Byrd, one of the old citizens of Clark-township died of cancer Wednesday, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Mark Shachleford, at Ladoga, aged 66 years. He was a successful farmer, and stock raiser. The funeral was held Friday under the auspices of the Masonic order.

REVIEW.

Et tu Brute.

General Wallace has become convinced that there is danger ahead from the trusts and has spoken out decidedly against then. The Sugar King's declaration that the tariff is the mother of trusts has seemed to stir things deeply. In a very short time the republican party will be swearing that it never knew McKinley or Dingley and that the wicked democrats are responsible for it all. Gen. Wallace says in speaking of the closing down of our wire and nail mill: "What the trust has done here it has done elsewhere. It must be checked and that immediately. Proper legislation and officers who will not shirk their duty are the only recourse. These barren buildings of the wire fence company area monument to the iniquity of trusts, and it will be a long time, indeed, before our city fully recovers. This strangling of business enterprises, must stop, or God only knows what will happen. The General grew intense as he continued, 'now all combinations are not trusts. Association under the statute and partnerships are to be distinguished from trusts in the proper sense, although they are combinations. It is for the courts to decide what is a trust in the offensive sense of the word. Trusts are attended with a great many dangers to the people. They crush out competition. They take employment from working men and reduce them to a condition bordering on slavery. It is in the power of a trust engaged in any industrial branch to regulate the price of a product, whatever it may be. The public will hold the President responsible for the negligence and indifference of his Attorney General."

It will only be a short time until General Wallace will be back where he stood in 1856, at the time he presented the silver pitcher to D. W. Voorhees, a democrat of "strictist sect." He has been a high tariff advocate, but he sees where we have drifted. Repentance is a good thing. Let it come.

Board of Review.

The Boasd of Edualization has completed the adjustment of the as sessments made by the township assessors, and the only changes made will be those on complaint of individ uals. The average assessment lands per acre is a fair average of such lands throughout the state. A tabulated statement is given below showing the assessments as now fixed by the Board of Review:

THE NATIONAL HOLIDAY*

How It Was Celebrated

This

County. A Quiet Fourth

in Crawfordsville.

The Fourth of July, 1S99 is now a thing of the past. Generally it will be remembered as an exceedingly noisy day. Almost every town in the county celebrated save Crawfordsville. Here then being no organized effort to celebrate in a becoming manner:, many of our citizens went elsewhere and afar greater number stayed at home. Down town the cheerful idiot amused himself by shooting cannon fire crackers, frightening horses and otherwise making a nuisance of himself. The Y. M. C. A. pentathlon contests were to be held here on thai day but the rain drove the contestants from the fair ground before the afternoon programme was fairly gotten underway. It was a quiet fourth at Crawfordsville. The only real excitement being Mr. Carlson's involuntary display of fireworks and the calling out of the fire department.

George W. Graham of the Trade Palace treated his force of clerks to a picnic at the Shades. They had a first rate time barring the rain.

The unfinished pentathalon contests will be completed at Indianapolis sometime during the present mouth, perhaps about the 22nd.

The celebration at the Shades of Death was a complete success. There was a great crowd present and a general good time. This is one of the never failing successes.

At Meharry's Grove the celebration was a success as usual. This is another place where the people congregate instinctively on July for a happy time.

At Yountsville there was quite a large crowd which spent the day "shooting the chutes" and fishing. This resort also bids fair to become a popular one.

At Waynetown there was an immense crowd and lots of fun until the rain in the afternoon cut the proceedings short. The P. O. S. of A. drill corps from this city gave an exhibii- tion drill, the band played, the quartette sang. The address of welcome was made by Rev. H. L. White.

Response by Chesea Utterback. In the afternoon the principal address was made by Dr. G. S. Burroughs. The balloon ascension feature was not pulled off on account of the high wind and threatened storm. It will be a feature of a celebration later on.

Other places in the county celebrated in a becoming manner, and altogether there need be no complaint of the way the Fourth was treated in this section.

The City Printing.

The contract for the city printing was let Monday evening. The Argus News carried off the contract, bid was 75 per cent, lower than of either of the other four concerns bidding. The blanks and stationery were taken at less than the blank paper costs at wholesale, and the advertising went for oue cent per line for the first insertion and one-half cent per line for the second. This bid was so low that the Council was suspicious of it, and on jnotion of Mr. Binford a bond was exacted of the bidder that he fulfill the contract. The city evidently expected to pay a reasonable price for its work, and did not expeet to find a man who would pay the city a bonus for the privilege of doing the work. Evidently the days of the philanthropists are not ended, or else the era of damphooliFtn is at hand, As he did not come up with his bond by Wednesday evening over a column of legal notices were turned over to the Daily Journal at legal rates. If he cannot give the required bond, there will probably be another letting at which sensible bids will be received, and cost at least gotten out of it. If he fails to file the bond required he will not be allowed to bid.
