The public will regret to learn
that Capt. J. II Pine, city clerk, IS
under arrest upon serious charges.
Some few days since, the city col
lector looked over some orders paid
by him to Clerk Pine, which orders
were Issued to James A. Hart,
another to J. A Hart and third to
Jas. H. Hart & Co. These orders
state they were issued to pay for
work on the streets and water works
and repairing the City Building,etc
The collector made inquiries but
could not find any one that knew
Mr.. Hart nor did sny one know of
any work he had done or material
furnished for the city. AS this dis
covery was only made few days
before the election 1t was thought
best to keep the matter quiet until
after the election was over. This
morning the mayor and the coun
Gil met In the city clerks office and
requested him to produce his rec
ord book which he did promptly
The records are neatly kept and
show upon the face of them that
everything Is straight. Mayor
Meek then said to Clerk Pine;
Now Captain, If you will produce
the bills properly endorsed for pay
ment that will settle the matter "
The Captain replied: This is no
council meeting; I will have the
bills all ready for couociFs inspec'
tion Monday evening"
There being a majority of the
council present Mayor Meek at
once called them to order as coun
cilmen and asked Clerk Pine to
make a record of the meeting.
The Captain then closed up the
record book In his desk, shut the
desk, and said: I'm too sick tht:
morning to attetd to this, put or
his coat and walked out.
Mayor Meek at once detailed

While the election was cousum-
Ing the public attention, the OBJ
sefvance of arbor day was some
what forgotten. Nov, however,
with the city saved for another year,
the people are again turning their
minds in the direction of the proper
observance of this day along the
lines indicated In the Review d
week ago. The more the matter
has been discussed, the more favor
ably 1t Is received. From no one
has any objection eminated, a very
strange thing In any public move
ment. Every body seems 10 think
that the city grounds should be
beautifed; that! trees are essential
for that purpose and that Arbor
day /, just the time for the work
and the exercises incident thereto.

that one of the fine It programs ever

for the 18th.

holders-were. in most respects, di-
vergent and competitive. 1t borders
on absurdity to say that two railway
corporations which, under normal con-
ditions. are naturally competitors for
traffic, will continue TO compete after
both become subject to the same source
of control 1t is not in the interest OF
the stockholder Of the Securities Com
pany that one of these railways should
prosper at the expense of the other.
They have a common interest in both;
they receive their dividends from a
fund created by pooling the earnings
of both. A more effective method for
combining competitive interests-for
suppressing competition between rival
and naturally competing business cor
porations-it would hardly be possible
to conceive"
The questions of law growing out of
the statement of facts are as follows:
Has. a combination been accom-
plished by means of the Securities
Company in violation of section l of an
act of Congress, approved July 2, 1890
entitled an act to protect trade and
commerce against unlawful restraints
and monopolies,' hereafter called the
antitrust act?
90 Have the defendants monopolized
or attempted to monopolize any part of
the interstate or foreign commerce of
the United States in violation of section
3 of the antitrust act?

failed they could work the two rail-
roads in harmony.
Continuing, Mr.. Knox said:
Let us next see what steps were
taken To get the Northern Pacific
property into such a situation as would
enable Mr. Morgan TO make good his
assurance to Mr.. Hill that if he failed
TO acquire the Northern Pacific stock
in the manner just described they
could work in harmony. A reorganiza-

new company, organized under the
laws of Wisconsin, with power TO do

the facts connected with the Burling-
