The pig was then brought to bay, a rope pro- cured and tied to one of its hind legs, when the owner, covered with dust and about exhausted, drove it back to the pen, vow. ing that he'd build a pen six feet Ingh, if necessary, to prevent the log getting another chance to perambulate on the street.
The Detroit Free Press ways that the city of Adrian, Michigan, is feeling very sad over the collapse of the Page Fence Company of that city which had a week. ly pay roll of $20,000 and made Adrian a
Fence Company. It being the special ! mission of that great trust to crush ont competition, the wire trust, which owns the wire fence trust, proceeded to squeeze the Page company by advancing the price of wire over 100 per cent. So
far as the plants comprising the fence trust were concerned, it would make no difference had the raise been a thousand or a million per cent., for the same capi- tal that was selling was buying, and could give its product away to itself or quote it at its weight in gold without making a dollar's difference in the out- come of the business. It was by this process that the Page company, rich in all the vital requirements of a great in- dustrial enterprise, willing to stand or fall upon its own merits and refusing to combine for the purpose of arbitrarily dictating outrageous prices, was driven to the wall. It is one of the most flagrant examples of trust tyranny that bas come to the people of this state, and cannot but multiply the number demanding an efficient regulation of these financial cor- morants, the only alternative being their complete demolition.
A World Beater.
The opening performance of "Monte Christo" with James O' Neill as Edmund Dantes, at the Boston Theatre, will be given, Tuesday, September 18. Real boats will be seen moving about in the barbor of Marseilles; the castle of the Chateau d'If is wonderful, The most stupendous scene will be the conserv- atory in Act IV, wbere two balconies, thronged with real people, will cover three sides of the stage, one above the other. The grand staircase, on wbicb Monte Christo makes his entrance, is 28 feet wide and 50 steps high. When the curtain rises on the Forest of Fontaine- bleu, in the last act, the audience will behold a forest of crystallized snow. Every leaf on every tree 18 coated with a new preparation aud behind every leaf is an electrlo bulb. Fairyland will never be brought any nearer than by the effect tbus obtained.
Mrs. L. K. Dearborn will return uext week and reopen her dressmaking rooms.

TO THE SELECTMEN :- As a taxpayer In town I would respectfully ask the select- men if it would not be a good move on their part to place a telephone in the town officers' room? Very frequently some one at a distance desires to com- IDuplcats elther with the board of select- meu, the tax collector or the town treas- urer, and there being no telephone con- nection, time is wasted. It is quite likely that the town would get a slight reduc- tion from the regular rate for past favors conferred, and, if not, a telephone ia uow a necessity instead of a luxury. Putin a 'phone, Messrs. Selectmen, and save our time, your time, and all the time.

The Home Paper.
The home paper is uever appreciated at home as it is when its weekly visits are received by one away from town. This is often spoken of regarding the SENTINEL. Many kind words come to nb ot that import, and we are always glad to receive them, for it is and always Tbe Work of the Trusts. has been the purpose to make the SEX- TINEI. a clean, reliable and complete statement of the local happenings of the week, and to do everything possible to- ward exerting a healthful moral influence In the town, and to advance its business prosperous city, But the company had interests. To plesse everybody is im- the temerity to decline au invitation to
possible. Indeed 8 newspaper or indi- vidual that can get along without cross- ing the grain of somebody amounts to but little. It should not be the purpose to create antagouisin, but if in doing duty as it is seen from day to day, antag- onisms come, as they are sure to, they should be met manfully, as they carry no discredit with them.
