RUSSELL EATON.
Death OF Loved aud Respected Citizen
and Prominent Journalist.

1t is our painful duty to announce the
learh of one of the founders of the Kenne-
,ec JJurnal. Lrel aud respected by all
sho knew him. kind and charitable in his
disposition. Russell Eaton, who died at ~
\. NJ. yesterday, will be universally
nourned. Mr.. Eaton was born in Massachl-
.etts on the 10Th of February, 1900, and
vas one of a large family. He was earl,
,pprenticed to printer and after learning
lis trade, ente red the Office of the National
lutelligencer at Washington. Ii
he spring of 1923 movement
vas made in this city toward the establish
nent of paper to be conducted in the inter-
st of the Wing party, and a committee OF
the enterprise. Mr.. Eaton was favorabl,
impressed with the location and during tn,
next fall came to Augusta in company with
Luther Severance rho had been working in
he same office at Washington. An office
MAS secured in brick block at the south
east corner of Bridge and Water streets,
from which the first number of the Kenne-
bee journal was issued on January 8, 1924
The two partners divided their work; MIR
Severance assuming the duties of editor
while Mr.. Eaton was business manager. Both
worked at the case, and with the assistance
of only one young apprentice, printed tn,
first number. The subscription list at thi,
time numbered about 400. III June, 1881
MIR. Eaton sold his interest in the Journal to
Severance who became sole proprietor.
During the next twelve years he worked a,
his trade of practical printer, and in ls43
purchased the Maine Farmer which was al
that time published in Winthrop by VIM.
Moves Co. Mr.. Eaton moved the paper
to this lcity and continued proprietor till
1859, when he disposed of his interest to
Messrs. Homan & Manley. During his con-
nection with this paper, DIR. Ezekiel Holmes,
his early friend. and the finest agricultural
writer in the State was chief editor.
With the sale of the Maine Farmer
Mr. Eaton having earned an ample COM
potency, retired from business life. He
never, however, gave up his interest in gem
eral matters, and especially in the welfare OF
Augusta. He was for many years president
of the Freeman's National Bank He wac
much attached to his home and especial,
loved his garden. He was for some time
trustee of the Kennebec Agricultural Soc.-
ETY., and while in health seldom missed thu
annual fairs of that body. With the best
element of the wing party he joined the re-
publican party and was ever consistent in the
political faith. Although often urged to
accept political honors, MIR. Eaton always
refused to seek or accept Office. Though quiet
and unobtrusive he made Il host of friends. His
constitution was robust and until two years
previous 10 his death he enjoyed the best Of
health. He leaves five daughters, all of
whom live in this city, and two sons to
mourn his loss. One of the latter, Russell
z. Eaton, was for many years editor of TIE

Mrs. Witherbee Will Sue.

SHE DENIES, THROUGH HER COUNSEL, THE ACCUU-
Stations AGAINST HER.
A special telegram to the New York World from
Bismark, DaK., says that Mrs. NJ. A. Wtherbee
denies the truth Of the disclosures recently made
in connection with the statement that her
husband was about to bring suit for divorce This
denial is made in a letter signed by Geo. 7. Web
ster as attorney for Mrs. Witherbee who, the card
says, is now lying critically i'll. He denounces as
"false, scandalous, malicious" the statements that
reflect injuriOusly upon her. A" am enabled, Mr..
Webster writes "from the documentary EVIL
dence In my possession to assert that her sepa-
ration from her husband, A. s. Witherbee. was
not due to any act on her part unworthy OF
true woman or faithful Wife, ! base
this assertion upon the unquestiOnably authentic
letters OF Wtherhee himself, written after their
separation on August II, 1886, and as late as Sep
TENDER 81, 1887" He then quotes card, which
he says Mrs. Witherbee published in Washing
which she set forth that they separated August
IL 1885, by mutual consent "upOn his informing
me that he would not support me, as defined to
pay any more OF his notes." To show that he had
never cast on his wife as a vile, polluted thing,
Mr. Webster says Witherbee subsequently ad-
dressed letters 10 her, in one Of which he
said: at was never my wish that
you should leave, as you know" He refers also TO
some financial transactions between husband and
wife, and says: within the next five or six days
Mrs. Witherbee will le her bill for divorce In the
District Court at Bismarck from the man who has
SO grossly maligned her. The grounds for her
divorce will be- as long since declared by her, de-
sertion, On-suppOrt, cruelty and in1delity."
