A t thg annual m eeting of the board of trade h eT d y ester day* % f t er’hoon.P resi- dent Bird read a paper touching upon the work of the board during th e past year. The docum ent was well w ritten and touched upon several m atters of Importance to th e people o f th is vicinity. Tbe report waa accepted and a vote of thanks was tendered P resident Bird for his faith fu l service.

Rev. W- I. G ill took occasion to con­gratu late Mr. Bird upon bis careful re ­view of the yebr’s work, and said he hoped ( it would appear in p rin t. Tbe docum ent as presented Is as foiloiv^) Gentlemen of the Board of T rade:

A review of our board's w ork for the past year a t th is tim e 1 th in k is no t out of place.

At the sta rt I w ant to than k th e offi­cers and several com m ittees for the m any good works they have accom­plished.

We go back to tho first of the year at our January m eeting. A comm ittee was appointed on insurance* A fter m any meetings and som ewhat of hard work a report and recom m endation was presented to the board favoring opening a cut-rate offloe in the city and wishing the board to p\pce all our insurance in the hand&of one party , but afte r some­w hat of a heated discussion was not confirmed. This was a very wise de­cision ,as the party bas proven tp not have a very savory record as to his method of conducting business. How­ever, our local agents succeeded In hav­ing a'sm all reduction made in our rates, and I.Jiope and believe tb a t they will get a fu rther redaction.

At our February m eeting tb e subject of spring and w inter resort waa again renewed with, I am happy to say, some­w hat of success. By the kindness o f Mr. Jam es A, Bradley the sunparlora and pavilions on the beach have been' enlarged and im proved and.the com m it­tee has succeeded in raising funds for furnishing and m aintain ing the same. I hope the board will take hold and help this com m ittee w ith all their streng th and power, jo r .o n you will now depend w hether we succeed in th is im portant undertaking.

Tbe anti-scalping bill, w hich bas been before the congress, is a th in g I th ink had better be left w ith the railroad companies. They are all for B6lf»as had been proven in the way tbey have treat­ed us as to tra in service, and .aa_our.

A Communication was presented at th e .board of trade m eeting xesterday which called forth a hot rebuke ffota Kev, W. I. Gill, and resulted in an es- change of com piitoeats between JMm rmd President Bird'. Tim com m unica­tion ” '88 from the executive com m ittee of the Icdianapbiis Monetary conven­tion o f the boards of trade, chambers of commerce, commercial niubs. and otheFsim ilar commercial bodi** of the United States, and was :v-. follows:

I n d i a n a p o l i s , Deo. 1, 1898. G e n t l e m e n :—For two years the com­

mercial organizations of the country, rs you are « '-.are, have been endeavoring through the w ork of this organization to obtain conservative and reasonable m onetary legislation th a t will give to tbe gold standard the perm anent form of law, elim inate certain weaknesses from th e system, and so fortify i t that all farm s of Am erican money will be sraedily recognized a t their face valueth e world o v e r , ---------------- • '

The business men of the country in 1896, and again ia 1898, joined hands ppon this igaJte w ithout regard to past c s r ty affiliations, and they a t last sues ueeded in giving the Republican party fu ll power in both branches of congress and the executive.

I t has been and is impossible ia enact m onetary laws th a t utb sound w ith at, adverse silver m ajority in the United S tates -m a te but after the fourth of next March th is obstacle will be over eome. I f legislation ia postponed un til the lang session immediately befoie the presidentiai cam paign of 1900, it is doubtful if th e party in power will take up so important: a subject ju s t before election, and it is likely th a t if m onetary legislation is to be had jt m ust be done a t a special Session of congress to be called early after th e fourth cf March next.

The secretftry l a a Scarcely” finished reading the lom m unication when Rev. Mr. Gill, a follower s i the Bryan silver heresy, sprung to his feet and denounced it m ' ti political scheme, and as such claim ed th a t i t had no business t a be considered a t a m eeting of the board ot trade, v-'aleh is composed of men affili­ated witb both political parties, He moved th a t tbe >i,-,mumcar!ou be laid upon tbe table indefin itely . The motion was lost-

President 3ird w as decided in bis opitiioa tb a t the docum ent was not of a political nature, ac j when Mr. Gill took the floor agaic. and began to discus.1- tbe recen t national cam paign, when silver aud gold were tb e Issues, he k b de­clared o a t of order. An appeal was taken from th is decision o f President Bird and tb e decision was sustained.

Mr. Gill said he would bave to m akt tt speech in sotder to explain w hy the le tte r waa tt political dodge. Rev. E , S. W iddem er told b im to go t&isead ana niak " a short speech, bu t President Bird would noy»orm it it.

The indications are th a t there w ill be a ho t tim e when the resolutions are pre sented to tlie board for action.

DRUG STORE CHAT./As there is nothing too good

for your best girl we would suggest that • you give her a Cosmeon Toilet- Set. This ware is of finely wrought aluminum which has every ap­pearance of sterling silver, but is lighter, stronger and more durable. The set consists of a tray, hair brush, tortoise shell comb and a mirror. These articles are of superfine quality and will give the best of satisfaction for years to come. The whole set is priced at $8.oo ; but we will sell the articles separately if desired.

Choice cut glass perfume bottles with handsome enamel flower decorations make ele­gant gifts. These are large, generous packages, each in a pretty box, and filled with the choicest extracts. They come in .green, blue, amber and other tints. The prices vary from $1.50 up to $3.00 each, and are well worth tbe money. Be sure to see them.

An inspection of what we can dffer in the way of

GLOVES,UMBRELLAS, NECKWEAR, HEADGEAR,

lor all ages, of both sexes, togeflier with JACKETS, CAPES AND WRAPS, for Ladies, Misses and Children, will attest with what care we have prepared for the merriest of all the merry seasons.

71 FTER Santa Claus traveled all over the county he had to acknowledge, and thereforer \ decided that his choice is with the . Steinbach Compaxy. This conclusion he

1 V. undoubtedly reached, and could not come to any other, after the beautiful array of goods were looked over and the low prices quoted for them, and he willingly acknowledged that one dollar will buy as much here as one dollar and a quarter elsewhere, and when he considered, the many little ones— as well as the big ones—he had to buy for, his decision, was. easily reached.

Of the thousand and one things which Santa Claus has left here we can only mention a few. A personal inspection will do us full justice.
