The Foreign view of the Steel Trust.


The great trade combination which ha. been
createi by the contamination OF the Size! Trust
in America is little less than menace to the
commerce of the civilized world. Before this
great ring all previous trusts fade into insiE-
hiheance. II Is curious irony Of modern 81
ciology that America. the country which boasts
itself most OF its freedom, is ia realty most
tightly bound in the tolls OF that octopus the
trade monopoly. Beside the tyranny OF the
trust. the political tyranny Of the Old World Is
trivial in its effectiveness, and this particular
amalgamstion sets the seal to the triumph Of the
millionaire.

Parties in Town Saturday Looking
for a Favorable Location.

L. H. Baldwin, of Chicago,
representing the Industrial
Company, Of that city, was in
Plymouth Saturday in conference
with parties interested in the old
Novelty plant with a view to
occupying it. In the afternoon
three gentlemen engaged in
the piano manufacturing bus. :
ness arrived, and, together with
one or two members of the Bust
ness Mems association, inspected
the buildings and grounds.
No definite proposition has as
yet been made, as we 60 to press.
but if deal can be made to bring
the piano factory here valuable
addition to Plymouth's industries
will be the result.
One of the men said the plant
was too large for their purpose,
but they were favorably i'm
pressed with the city as a loca-
ton, and would consider the
question of building for them
selves.

driving to town in buggy with her
two children, a wheel broke at the

scattered over distance of half a
mile to the old Palmer place, where
the animal was caught. The property

GONE TO HORSE HEAVEN
Chief Kuhn's Fire Horse is Dead-A
Notable Career.

Death has again invaded the rank.
of Plymouth's public characters an(
removed figure that has been fami
liar on our streets for more thar
twenty years. Old Crank" is dead
He died Friday night at IL O'Clock
quietly and painlessly, after an illness
of but day, which was the only illness
he ever experienced in his unusually
long life.
Frank was the horse that for MANY
years drew Chief Kuhn's fire buggy.
He was born on the Closer stock
farm near Laporte 80 years ago last
November, of respectable but not
especially notable parents, and he
came to Plymouth i'm 1879 as the
property of Fred H. Kuhn, in whose
service he remained, faithful and
reliable beast. When Mr.. Kuhn was
made chief of the city fire department
in 1884 old Frank was taken i'm also
and his intelligent apprehension of
his duties was no less remarkable
than his eagerness to perform them.
He knew the fire bell and whistle and
never failed to distinguish the alarm
of fire from other sounds made by the
same bell or whistle, Gay or night.
On one occasion when an alarm
came, Frank was tied in his stall with
a heavy strap and he was also shut in
by a half door locked across the rear
of his stall. No one came to release
him so he tore loose from the fasten-
ings, leaped the barrier and flew to the
scene of the fire, where he arrived at
the same moment Chief Kuhn did. to
whom he reported and stopped quietly
until the tiremen finished their work.
For four years Frank has been deaf
and has been retired from the service
ana from work of all kinds, and dur
ing that time he has always been
agitated at the sight of the fire buggy
moving away from him.
Friday morning at . o'clock the old
horse was stricken with paralysis.
Mr.. Kuhn, who was at Pretty Lake.
was Immediately sent for and remain
ed with the sick animal until all hope
was abandoned late in the afternoon.
Frank was quiet and contented so
long as his master remained by him.
but was nervous and seemingly ap-
prensiye in his absence, constantly
and glancing about as though
in fear or distress. When the end
came there was gasp and a tremor
and old Franks spirit took its flight
for the equine paradise.

BRICK IS LAID
MAYOR JONES PUTS THE FIRST
BLOCK IN PLACE,
Difficulty in Rolling the Gravel
Foundation Leads to ADpre-
herSiOn as to Results.

Exactly at 1:36 o'clockFriday after
noon Mayor p. o. Jones, in the pre-
Sence of the contractors, some city
officials and few interested citizens,
solomnly laid the first brick i'm the
first payementin the city of Plymouth.
Councilmen Reynolds and Ashley then
laid the second and third bricks and
the job was turned over to the work
men to be pushed on to completion.
1t is expected that the bricklayers will
get to the bridge fully as soon as the
foundation is prepared for them, the
work being started at the north side
of Jackson street.
Some difficulty was experienced in
running the heavy roller over the
S-inch layer of gravel that constitutes
the foundation and upon which two
inches of sand will be laid to form a
bed for the brick, and an arrange
AhOht bCCD ClltClCu HUI NllClCDN
the pavement is to be laid first and
then rolled, the agreement of the
contractors being that if the result is
not satisfactory i'm the first square so
laid and rolled they will take it up
and do the work over i'm accordance
with the original contract.
Many citizens are apprehensive that
the i'll effects of such a procedure may
not become manifest for several years,
when it will be too late to apply
remedy except at the city's expense,
and they feel that the usual course
should be pursued by Hatch & Sons,
that Of rolling the gravel in layers or
using light roller first before apply
ing the heavy one. 1t is the common
opinion that the gravel foundation
should be thoroughly packed before the
pavement is laid, and that surface
of permanent smoothness cannot
otherwise be insured.
