Governor Saycrs Sends Out an Inyi
tation for IL ST. Louis Meeting.
Austin, Ten. june s. The governor
has mailed the following communities
tion to the governors of several states
and territories of the union:
Dear Sir: After much reflection |
have concluded that it would not be
improper for me to suggest that a CON
ference of the governors and attorney
generals of the several states and ter
ritoIies be held to consider the effect
which the formation of trusts is hav.
ing upon the country and if possible
TO agree upon a character of egisla.
ton that will not only force those NOW
in existence into dissolution, but will
also prevent their further creation.
II ann firmly of the opinion that if
as many as twenty states can be i'm
duccd TO adopt a uniform policy in
reference to this generally admitted
evil and viii enforce such policy With
yigor, relief will surely and quickly
follow. 1t cannot be doubted that in
this matter state aclion is necessary
and that uniformity in the enactment
OF the enforcement of legislation is in
dispensable.
II have. therefore. to respectfully
suggest 10 your cNccllency and to the
attorney general of your state that Il
conference to consist of the governors
and attorney generals OF such states
and territories as may see proper TO
attend, to be held at ST. Louis ON
"Wednesday. he Goth day of Scptem-
Der. 1890, for the purpose OF taking
such action rs may be deemed proper
respecting the subject matter of this
communication. An early reply adj
wishing me of your views and intentions
is requested. have the honor to be,
very respectfully, your obedicnt SER

WILL BUILD A FRIDGE.

AT their meeting last Monday the
county commissioners decided to have
a wagon bridge built across Casper
creek about two miles west of town.
near the place where the bridge was
standing when 1t vas carried away b
the high water last spring. The bridge
is to be constructed by the F. E. & M.
v. railroad bridge builders, and there
will be no extra expense to
the county except the actual
cash outlay by the railroad
company, and this will amount to
about 1886 dollars, the railroad COM
pany not charging the county anything
for the transportation of the timbers,
tools or workmen to this point. The
county will, of course, be to the ex-
pense of hauling the timbers. pile driver
and lumber from the station to the
place of location Of the bridge, which
will not amount to a great deal. The
bridge is to be 12S feet in length, and
workmen will be here early this month
