A Blessing a Curse.

Mr. Bryan spoke I'm part as follows:
'Wifhin two years more trusts have
been organized than i'm the previous
history ~ the cOuntry arc the people
now come face 10 face to this question:
Is The trust a blessing or a curse? IL
a curse what remedy can be applied to
the curse? Monopoly in private hands
is ndefensible from any standpoint and
intolerable. | do not divide monOpolies.
There can be no good monopoly i'm pri-
waite hands until the Almighty sends
us ang..,s 80 p'ts.ov over as.
There may be a despot who is better
than another despot, but there is no
good despotisn. The defense OF the
monopoly Is always on the ground that
IL you will allow people to control the
market and fix the price, they will be
good 10 the people who purchase of
them. The entire defense OF trusts
rests upon money argument. III the
trust will sell an article for "A dollar
less than The article will cost under 9th
err conditions. then in the opinion OF
some that proves q trust TO be a good
thing.

Prices Not Reduced.

''In the first place I deny that under
a monopoly the price will be reduced.
In the second place. IL under a monop-
oily the price as reduced the objections
to a monopoly from other standpoints
far outweigh financial advantage
that the trust would bring. But pro-
test against settling every question
upon the dollar argument.

Mr.. Bryan's Remedy.

"lAs TO thercmedy both state and ma
ton should have concurrent remedies
In the first place. every state has, on
should have, the right to create any prl-
Nate corporation which In the justice
OF the people OF the state is conducive
20 the welfare OF the people. III they
create CORPORATION and Il becomes
destructive OF Their best interests. they
can destroy that corporation and anni-'
hilatc IL IN conditions make humiliation
necessary.
I'm the second place the state has.
or should have. the right 10 prohibit
any foreign corporation from doing
business in the state. and il ought TO
have or has the right to impose such
restrictions and limitations as the peo-
pie OF the state may think necessary
upon any foreign corporation doing
business in the state. Congress has. or
should have. the power To place such
restrictions and limitations even TO the
poin, OF prohibition. upon any corpora
tion organized in one state that wants 10
do business outside OF the state con-
trary to public good.
II believe that these concurrent rem
edies will reach the difficulty. that the
people of every state shall first decide
whether they want 10 create cOrpOr=
alton; that they shall. secondly, decide
whether they want any outside corpor-
alton To do business i'm the state. and In
so. upon what conditions; and, thirdly
tha'g congress shall exercise the right to
place upon every corporation doing
business outside of the state i'm which

Tia 1vhOM IL nav concern:

| have decided to retire from the merchantile bust
ness owing to important business in other directions. In
retiring l wish to express my sincere thanks for the
patronage of the people heretofore given the old concern,
and feel sure the new management will warrant and always
deserve your kind support. Owing to the dull season of
the year the retiring members of the firm found it i'm
possible to realize full value for our respective interests,
and this in addition to other advantages, will place the
new management in position to offer much of the old
stock at less than first cost.

FORWARD.

In purchasing the interests of the retiring membersof
the firm of J. NJ. Null & Co., we feel it proper in the out
set that we should state those principles which will govern
our future actions. The business will be greatly enlarged.
The good features about the old business will be con-
tinued and enlarged. The bad features, ifany exist, WILDE
dropped the very instant we find them out. New ideas.
and enthusiasm will be infused into every department of
the store. Prompt service and polite attention will be
assured to every one. You can get your money back in
stantly without despite on any unsatisfactory purchase.
With a view of changing many features of the store, much
of the present stock will be sacrificed at figures far
below first cost. Very respectfully,

MILLIONAIRE
POISONED BY
STRIPED BASS
James Percival Lying
at Deaths Door.
THREE OTHER VICTIMS
DEADLY FISH SERVED AT A
FASHIONABLE RoTIssERIE.
The Tourists Wife, Isaac Ettling and
S. J. Stanley, the Wine
Man, Were Also
Affected.
DEADLY FISH SERVED AT a
FASHIONABLE ROTISSERIE.

James Percival the well-known million
aire tourist from London is lying in his
apartments at the Palace Hotel in a pre-
carious condition as a result of partaking
too freely of poisoned striped bass served
on Wednesday night at fashionable up
town restaurant. Mrs. Percival, wife Of
the Millionaire tourist; Isaac Ettling, the
well-known wheat broker, and S. ]. Stan
ley, the popular wine agent, who also
dined at the rotisserie and ate the poi
soned fish, were more or less affected, but
none of them were taken so violently i'll
as Percival.
Mr.. Percival and his wife attended a
theater party on Wednesday evening and
then drove to a nearby restaurant for
dinner. After the striped bass was served
Mr.. Percival complained of gripping pains
in his stomach. A few minutes later he
developed symptoms of poisoning and al
most collapsed at the table. He was i'm
mediately escorted to his carriage and
hastily driven to his apartments at the
Palace.
BY the time he arrived there Mr.. Per-
cival was suffering excruciating pains and
vomiting quite freely.
DR.. Noble was quickly summoned and
he diagnosed PercivaIs ailment as a case
of peculiar fish poisoning.
Mrs. Percival was suffering slightly,
but mild emedcs were sufficient to relieve
her distress and she assisted DR.. Noble
to ease her husbands sufferings.
Mr.. PercivaPs body turned black and
blue and he was writhing in the throes
of severe commissions for several hours.
Percivals condition caused great alarm,
and for time it looked as If he would not
survive. DR.. Noble worked over his pa
tient for several hours and remained with
the sick Millionaire until morning, when
his condition improved slightly.
None of the other victims were seriously
affected, for luckily they ate sparingly of
the fish.
Whether or not the striped bass was
poisoned during the cooking process is
not known, but DIR. Noble believes that
the fish itself contained poisonous prop
critics An analysis will be made to-day
to determine which of the two theories is
correct. Late last night the chances for
PercivaIs recovery were pronounced ia
Vorahle.
