to the viceroy, has not found his duties
incompatible with dancing close attend
ance upon Miss Daisy Letter. Though
not publicly announced, it is understood
that an engagement for some months
has existed between his lordship and
Miss Daisy, but it is improbable that
the marriage will take place immedi-
ately.
An extended tour has been arranged
for the Misses Letter throughout the
great cities of Northern India, including
Delhi, Agra, Benares, and Lucknow.
From the last named place they will
proceed to Calcutta in order to gain an
insight into the life and surroundings
of their sister during the winter months
spent at the government house. From
Calcutta they propose taking passage to

OPPOSED TO TRUSTS.
Gov. Gambler Expresses Himself

Governor Savers of his intention.
Il am against a trust wherever I sec

1 am against them to stay. It matters
not with me whether the price of arti-

remains that the trust has crushed out

impossible.
TRUSTS are born in inquiry and con-
ceived in sin.
There should be uniform law that it
would make it impossible for them to ex-

The young men of the day are slaves
to the trusts. They have no individual

Fond Du Lac, Wis, June 19--Ffre was

evening by the falling of a meteor on

alight on the roof of the home of Mr..
Waters. Notifying the family, a ladder
