Nineteen Independent Distilieries Are Planning Campaign.

Peoria, H., Dec. 16.--It has been tilleries are planning for a campaign < against the Distilling Company of \ America, otherwise known as the V "Whiskey Trust" Eighteen of these distiIleries are already in operation and the nineteenth, mammoth concern, & with daily capacity of 3O,OOO gallons { of high wines, will be started January M in this city. Six months ago the 6.strust' was manufacturing practically \ all the spirits of this country and had sa virtual monopoly of the trade, dis posing of about 250,000 gallons day. 2 Since then the demand has increased x so that 90,000 bushels of grain are now being, mashed daily, the yield being x 450. 900 gallons of spirits
 One of the peculiar conditions of the
 new situation is that it may lead to the |reOpening of the old Shufeldt distillery in Chicago. A call has been issued by the "Whiskey Trust" for a special meeting to be held in Jersey City, next < Friday when the question of reducing the capital stock will be considered. S The trust stock now amounts to $125,- 100000, consisting of $55 900 pre-
 f6rred and $70,O00,OOo common. Of these issues there is outstanding $77,- x 677,O00. It is proposed to cancel $40 #000,000 of these stocks, reducing the &capital to $s5. .OOOO0O

THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN
(Continued from First Page.)

1 Continued from First Page.)
 a resolution adopted at the meeting of | the post held Saturday night request | ing that the usual appropriation of $6,- | 900 be made for the park.
 | It was then voted to take up the esti-
 mates item by item, and Clerk Norris
 was directed to read the list as it came | from the board of finance. No com l ment was made until the item of S1 900 l for permanent pavements was reached when Alderman filling moved that the l item be cut to $200. Alderman Wright 1 of the board of finance objected to this. 1 He said that 1t was not expected that
 much could be done towards laying permanent pavements with $1000, but that pavement assessments would prob ably be paid during the year, and thus add more to the fund. No estimate of l receipts from that source was made by the board of finance. However. it was
 suggested last night that $1 900 was ap-
 propriated by the board of finance for
 permanent pavements in order to furn- ish an excuse for the payment to the clerk of the pavement commission of
 the $200 appropriated by the board of lllldncG LOT tIe SdldIy or lfldl DOSlI1Oll. Alderman filings motion failed of pas sage. The vote was 12 to 8, the neces- sary two thirds vote to change the finance boards estimates not being se- cured.
 When Inc lamp department esti- mates were reached Alderman Miller called upon Alderman Savers. chairman of the lamp committee. to explain the needs Of tEat department. Alderman Savers in response stated that the ap- preparation made by the board of fi- nance would be insufficient to pay the cost of maintenance os lamps now in position by order of the common coun- cil. He said that the account for gas lamps would be 2 little over S5000 short and that for electric lights a little over S1, ,000 short of the amount required to maintain lamps now in use. He said that the contract with the gas com pGny prevents the cutting off of any gas lights and thought that the city would be obliged to pay for them under the contract and might become involv- ed in litigation in case the appropria- ton was inadequate.
 At the request of Alderman Wallace Alderman Wright attempted to explain

austere. He didn't wear his heart in his sleeve. There were mitigating cir cumstances which accompanied his aus terity. They were abounding thankful ness, the power of friendship, his un- complaining acceptance of hardships and his love of home, He didn't go out and stay out late at night. He would have looked askance at clubs, even at Congregational clubs. If the same causes were in operation now we would be austere They were exiled, disturb ed and afflicted The charge of narrow ness has some support
 The serious charge of witch hunting was dwelt upon at some length by the speaker, and he plainly showed that this existed to a very much greater ex tent and was carried much more to eX- tremes in the mother countries, partic- ularly in France and Germany, than in this country. It was a many-sided in dctment. The Puritan was not behind his age in part of it. New England was the sanest, the wisest and the dearest in dealing within the question of witch craft of any locality in the world. The mothers of that period were about the same as those of to-day, and they were not so indifferent on the subj ct of dress as might. be supposed. The mothers had lighter graces than those of our times. They were powerful exclusives of the affairs of the homes, and in this domain they were supreme. The Puri- tans' apparent ind ference to beauty in the matter of material things was there, but after-ages have added the lily work.
 The meeting closed with the singing of a hymn and the benediction pro- nounced by Rev. MT. Goddard.

why an appropriation sufficient tc

why an appropriation sufficient to maintain the lamps was not allowed.
 He said that the finance board was of l the opinion that naphtha lamps should : be substituted for electric lights in the i outskirts of the city. A motion by AL | derman Miller to postpone action on
 the lamp estimates until after the other
 estimates had been gone over was lost | by vote of 10 to s. the chair declared,
 and the matter was not again taken up, l it being evident that a two-thirds vote | could not be secured. Finally on mo- l ton of Alderman Minor it was voted to l adopt the board of finance report | A communication and accompanying resolution from Anthony Carroll was read The communication called atten- l ton to the fact that the water commit tee had held two executive sessions with representatives of the water company,
 but had refused to tell citizens who ha% made Inquiry what proposition the wa
 ter company had submitted The reso-
 lution provided that the city refuse to enter into any contract with the water company until the company had sub mitted a proposition and public hear ings were held on that proposition.
 Alderman !. j. Walsh moved to table the communication and resolution until the water committee reported. Alder man Miller asked of Chairman F'ertman of the water committee if the company had presented any proposition, and AL derman Fertman replied that the com mittee had received nothing definite from the company.
 Alderman Miller then said that the resolution under which the water com- mittee is now acting instructed the committee to ascertain what terms could be secured for renewal of the water contract, and he moved that the Carroll resolution be tabled until the January meeting in order to give the committee ample opportunity to follow out the instructions contained in the resolution under which it is acting.
 Alderman filling moved an amend ment to table it until the February meeting. Alderpan Moyle thought that the committee should report as soon as possible on some proposition from the company. He said that the committee now asks the public to ap- pear and be heard on q blind issue, If any resolution would bring proposi- tion from the company he hoped that it would prevail.
 Alderman filings amendment was lost and the vote on the motion to table until the January meeting was a tie which President Hubbard dissolved by voting in the affirmative.
 A petition was received from the Avon Athletic club asking that the &C., tiOn of the chief of police In reVoking the license granted to the club to give an athletic exhibition be reconsidered The petitioners stated that not only had the license been revoked before the exhibition was given, but the license fee was not returned. The matter was referred to a special committee of two aldermen and three councilmen to in- quire and report at the next meeting.
