To the wherren Bi-ch,oride of Gold Institute Com
pany:
Gentlemen-My object in writing this let
ter is not to gain notoriety by telling the
public of q life of dissipation and reckless
ness, and then posing a reformed drunk
ard. On the contrary, / wish to-day that |
could say that / had never taken drink
OF Intoxicating liquor in my life; but 1
have. My friends know It, the public know
it, and could not, if / would. deny it.
My aim In writing is TO tell of my cure.
and to proclaim to the world the merits of
your wonderful treatment. with view
that my testimony may induce many of my
poor drlnk-charmed fellow-men TO follow
my example and free themselves from the
bonds OF strong drink by undergoing your
treatment l am now nearly sixty years
OF age. and am sorry to say that l was in
toxicated several times before was fifteen.
and the appetite for liquor. or rather the
disease, az afterward realized that it was,
had taken deep root in my system before
had reached manhood. For many years L
have wanted TO release my self from this
curse, but could not | have received tho
kind advice and sym pathy of a loving wife
and family, l have had the influence of
firm and sympathizIng friends thrown
about me. but all to no avail. Try as
would, this terrible appetite would come
upon me with oil the violence of cyclone.
and all my good resolutions would be swept
away. When / entered your institute, at
the solicitation of friend of mine who
had just taken Your treatment was in q
terrible condition from the effects of whis-
ky. i could neither sleep nor eat, and my
entire nervous 81 stem was deranged. My
experience for the first few days can
hardly explain. / drank heavily, but did
not experience the intoxicating effects of
the liquor as had heretofore. My nerves
began to grow steady, and my appetite for
food gradually increased. My entire sys-
tenn went through much needed process
of renovation until to-day i can truthfully
assert that L feel better than i have in
years, and much happier. have no appe-
tite or desire whatever for any alcoholic
beverages, and know that the disease has
been entirely eradlcated from my system.
l write you this plain letter of testimony
for publication. hoping that 1t may be read
and D0ndered upon by many of my drink
ing friends. and that It may be the means
of inducing them to rid themselves of this
awful disease by taking your treatment.
In closing / wish to sincerely thank you
for the many kind favOrs and cOurtesIes
extended to me while at your beautiful
sanitarium, and also to wish you all sue
cess in your noble snd humanitarian work.
Respectfully yours. WILLIAM HARRIS.

Board of Review Drives Out Reporter
Banks and Beer Makers

The County Board of Review held q
secret session yesterday afternoon, at
which vigorous objection was made to o
Journal reporter taking notes as to what
was said before the board. About half
past o'clock modest. inoffensive reporter
walked into the room and took q seat upon
the round table back of which the board
holds their solemn cOnclaves. Attorney
Charles Smith was before the board in be-
half of the Indianapolis and Indiana ma
tional banks. In an effort to have their as
eessments reduced. MIR. Smith seems ed to
be particularly directing his talk to the
Hon. Il. Pinkerton Taggart.
IL would like to know" he said, "the
basis upon which the board figured in ar
irving at it's conclusion in this assessment"
The Hon. Mr.. Taggart replied: The
basis of tho boards figures was the ca pital
stock, the surplus and the undivided
profits"
The reporter began to jot down notes of
the proceedings, but the eagle eye of Il.
Pinkerton Taggart saw the pencil flying
across the paper. and stopped abruptly and
turned to the reporter with tho admoni-
ton:
~ on stop taking notes of what is said
before this board. Don't You know you
ought not TO do thatf We will tell you
what the board does, but we don't want
you to take notes; mono OF the other re-
porters do it,"
The reporter remembered that at the time
the Hecla assessment was reduced nearly q
million dollars by the board he was not
told anything of it, and would not have
heard of it had be not by the merest acct
dent stumbled upon the information in an
other quarter and kept mis- ears open. The
board resumed work. Mr.. Smith continued:
lyon have assessed US upon every conceiv-
able asset. except our good will"
well we haven't assessed the good will,
have wet You have that exempt" inter
rupted Mr.. Taggart. anxious TO show that
there was at Toast one thing which the
board had not assessed. AT this point the
reporter was again discovered taking notes.

was learned. however, that no action was
taken by tho board on the matter of the
bank assessments.

ment. the assessment of the company was
placed at SS50,O00. He said that the profits
of che concern last year amounted to but

cent. upon the investment. and the board
pitied the poor British beer and re-
duced their assessment.

Senator PETER of Kansas, has been
airing his notions on finance, in the U.
S. senate. The republic was going to
the dogs, of course. This was his major
premise There was no way to save it
except by destroying usury. He be-
3ieved congress had perfect authority to
lend money to the people as much as to
provide for carrying the mail packages
or determining the rates which the
railroads may charge for carrying
freight or passengers. His bill,
whose passage he was urging, provides
that no corporation or firm is hereafter
to receive more than per cent interest
-on short time, nor more than 4 per cent
fora year or longer. All of which goes
TO prove that all the fools in the country
are not confined in the lunatic asylums.
When congress shall have power to COM
pei a man to loan his money at per
cent, when the law of supply and de-
mand has fixed its price at or 6, or S
or 10 per cent, then congress will have
power to fix the price of wheat or any
other commodity. Senator Peher's at
tempt to fix the price of money, by con-
gressional interference, is as likely to
succeed as if he attempted to fix the
subscription price of newspapers. The
thing cannot be done.
