DEMAND TO KNOW
 KNOX'S OPINION
LEAGUE AGAIN ASKS THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR REPLY TO THE PETITION FILED SOME TIME AGO.

Washington January 23.-M. H. B. Martin. as chairman of the joint com mittee on the American Antitrust League and District Assembly No. SC, Knights of Labor. today sent Attorney General Knox letter requesting him to inform the committee what your con- clusions were in regard to the petition re- questing action by the Department of Justice against certain unlawful trusts which our committee filed with you Sep tember 6, 1901 and which remain unan- swered. We further call your atten- ton to the fact. that in your letter O. September II, 1901, in answer to the peti- tion of this committee, you made this specific promise:
 :" I will examine these papers with care at as early a date as possible and com municate to- you my conclusions.
 This promise remains unified
 The committee desires to amend its petition by adding a new section relating to the organization of the Northern Be- curities Company and alleges it was form ed flor the purpose of restraining and monopolizing the interstate railroad trade and commerce of a large part of the United States in violation of the eonsu- tuition and laws of the United States.
 This action, the letter says, is second offense of the same character by the same men and corporations within few months and warrants and demands prompt action by the Department or Justice, in order that the interests of the people may be protected.
 The letter also calls attention to the fact that on December 2l last. the com- mittee presented to PresIdent Roosevelt certain documents containing charges and evidence regarding Eastern railroad asso- citations and that the President said he would call the attention of the Attorney General to the matter. A request is made for information as to what has been done

oLEoMAReARINE BILL.
House Committee Puts Tax of 10 Gents
 Pound on Product.

Washington. January 23. = Especially = The House committee on agriculture. by a vote of F to 5, ordered the report of an anti-oleomargarine bill which is even more restrictive than the original Grout bill. The original bill placed tax of 10 cents per pound on oleomargarine and butterine colored to initiate yellow but ter. The word yellow was struck out. thus making the restriction apply to limitations of white or any other kind of butter. Another change makes those who take uncolored butter and color 1t sub ject to all the taxes and penalties of manufacturers. When the committee met these amendments were agreed to by the foregoing vote.

ANOTHER ELECTION.
One to Be Held Oct. a to Locate
Courthouse in Ist District.

1t seems that very people know that
another election is close at had, but it is
a fact nevertheless. On October 4 an
election will be held throughout Perry
county to decide where the courthouse
of the first district is TO be located.
This Is matter of vital concern to eV
cry citizen of Perry county. Not only will
both districts vote on the location, but
the taxpayers of both districts will have
to pay for its construction.
The law says that a majority vote
shall decide the location if the court
house is moved toward the center of the
county. otherwise it will take two
thirds. Evidently when there are two
districts in a county. the center of the
district is meant, otherwise the court
houses of each district might be located
very near each other.
Four towns will contest for tie loca-
ton, namely. New Augusta, Dixie,
Wingate and Beaumont.

matter, IL does not own any real estate
in or near either town and therefore 1t
looks at the matter fIom the stands oiRI
of what would be for the best interests
of Perry county. Looking at it this
way, it appears that New Augusta
offers the best location. Should the
courthouse be located at New Augusts
the old town would be moved there and
the people would not be taxed to builC
another iron bridge across the river-s
tax that would amount to nearly as
much as the amount necessary for new
courthouse. The public roals of the
first district are laid out with view t.
reaching the old town aud the bridges
built accordingly. All these roads AM
