BIG ATTENDANCE
AT THE MEETING.
All Fall Festival Chairmen Met
Last Evening to Dis
cuSS Plans.
ENTHUSIASM WAS SHOWN
At MEETING NEXT WEEK THE
PREMIUM LIST WILL BE AN
NOUNcED - BALLOON RACE
WILL BE A FEATURE.

At a special meeting OF the differ
ent committees of the Fall Festival
association, at the Masonic temple
last evening, for the purpose of in
structing the chairmen as to.their du-
ties, much enthusiasm was displayed
in the coming event and from appear
ances it will be the largest event of
its kind ever held in Eastern Indiana.
The meeting adjourned until next
Thursday evening at which time. the
chairmen are to report on their COM
mittee organization and what the
committees have planned to do.
Each chairman was instructed to
name his own committee and If the
work which he Is in charge of is too
much for him to name sub commit
tees. This will probably be necessary
in a number of instances The num-
Der of active workers In the affair
will probably be much larger than
last year.
The Premium Lists.
The premium lists to be prepared
by the committees will be announced
at the next meeting. There will be
better and a larger number of prem
iums offered this year than last, made
possible by the fact that larger sub
scriptions will be made by the citi-
zens, particularly the merchants and
the manufacturers. The work of fl
nancing the affair is very important
one. Nimrod Johnson, city treasurer,
who acted as chairman of this COM
mittee last year will act in a similar
capacity again this year.
Not only were all the chairmen of
the local committees present at last
nights meeting, but those in charge
of the work in the township districts
were also there. The enthusiasm
among the farmers is more in evil
dence than it was last year, although
then no complaint could be register
ed on their support. The territory
from which the affair will receive
support this year will be greatly ex-
tended.
The matter of perfecting the organ
ization of the festival is the principle
thing at this time. However the fea-
lures and displays of the coming ev-
ent are also being considered. One
of the most attractive features to be
held is a balloon race. Postmaster
J. A. SDekenhier is chairman of this
committee and will negotiate with
well known aeronauts to appear here
during the festival.

MISTAKES IN TITLES.

"Love's Diseourses" Has Nothing +
De With cupid's Franks.
1t is interesting to collect certain o,
the instances Of mistakes in regard t.
the titles Of books. Thus the old farm
er who asked for "Edgworth on Irish
Bulls got no doubt something he did
not expect. and the dainty youth wh;'
applied for Loves Discourses" did
not really wish a volume Of sermons
by Christopher Love. If application is
made by messenger, mistakes Of a diff
ferent sort may occur. An bic
boy once asked for Bishop Cocks and
Hens Earnest Communicant;' he
meant Bishop Oxenden's. Similarly by
Warre's Moral Cookery" he meant
his ''Model Cookery" A maid forgot
all about the title Of the book she had
been sent for except that it was
something like tomato SOUP" She
was served with Red Pottage."
1t may have been q fault Of pronun'
citation on the part of the purchaser
who asked for rubber bands that he
received q copy Of Robert Burns" but
1t was certainly the bookseller who
was ut sea who referred IN applicant

"Valiey Of Dried Bones"

The island Of Jamaica possesses q
valley Of dried bones" 1t is near the
Cunacuna gap in the Maroon county.
This valley. though in the heart OF the
wet country" is bare Of leaf and life.
The limestone rock is hot. Giant trees,
which seem to have been blighted sud
denly. stand up gaunt and dead. Al
though vegetation seems to have been
dense here in former years. nothing
win grow now. During the hot season
the temperature Is almost unbearable
1t is visited by seismic disturbances
which cause the dead trees and hot
stones to rattle like dry bones.

This Fact Was Demonstrated
By Adams Express Com
pany Before the State Tax
Board Yesterday.
SALT $36, O0O, 900
IN PLACE OF SAFETY
Excess Earnings of the Cor
porati0n Have Been Invest
ed in Stocks and Bonds Of
Other Concerns.

indianapolis. July 9.-The Adams
Express company. which operates ov-
er the Pennsylvania lines and the
lvandalia lines, certainly understands
the theory Of high finance, according
10 a showing made before the state
tax board yesterday The board at
hts first session made high assess
ment Of the company on its capital
stock and It's property and Lawrence
Maxwell, of Cincinnati. prominent
attorney, came here to protest against
the assessment.
The board found on examination OF
the financial statement Of the COM
pany that there were $36,0OO,0OO
trust bonds outstanding. 1t included
these bonds in its estimate of the
taxable value Of the company. Max
well told the board that these bonds
were not liabilities of the company
and that they should not be taken In
TO account In making the assessment
Plan Of Company.
What developed from the discussion
before the board was that the com.
pany sailed down s36,000.000 where
the tax board cannot reach 1t. In
1897 the Adams Express company had
on hand $24,000,000 that it did not
have any use for. It was a fund that
had grown out of the excess earnings.
The company did not want to declare
an extra dividend on its stock to take
up this amount because that would
run the price of the stock out of sight
and require the company to pay high
er taxes. So 1t invested the 24,0OO,-
900 In stocks and bonds of other COM
panies, railroads, banks, trust COM
panies and the like and deposited
these securities with trust company.
Then it had the trust company issue
collateral trust bonds against these
securities and distribute the bonds
among the stockholders of the Adams
Express company in proportion to the
amount of stock that each held. In
this way the company got rid of its
surplus, distributing it among it's
stockholders the same as If they had
received 1t as an extra dividend. but
at the same time 1t avoided the posi-

stock.
Can't Make Collection.
In 1898, just year later. the Ad-
ans Express company haa ''cceeded
in saving up another $12.01 y which
It invested in the same way, making
$50. 100000 in all that it presented to
its stockholders and on which the
state Of Indiana probably cannot col
lect cent of taxes. Another advant-
age to the company from this system
of high finance was that 1t enable
the company to buy heavily of the
stocks and bonds OF railroads. thus
enabling it to control express bust.
ness over these lines.
The members of the state tax board
said 1t was the plainest case of tax.
Iodging that has been seen lately, but
there seems to be no way to force
hhe express company to pay taxes on
the $36,000.0O0 worth OF bonds. The
company has given the $50, 100000 to
dts stockholders and has no further
claim on 1t or on any part Of it, there.
fore it cannot be counted either as
assets or liabilities of the company.
