in this village at 80 o'clock yesterday
morning. Her death was quiet and
peaceful. She had but few minutes
before been assisted from her bed and
was sitting in chair. She at once COM
planned of feeling weak and DR.. Lewis

of medical skill-the last spark of life
was eXtinguished. For several weeks it
had been apparent to members of her
family that the end was drawing near.
Her emaciated and worn out condition,
following long attack of sickness. had
so depleted her vitality that there was
nothing left upon which to build anew.
Mrs. Babcock's illness dated back to the
10Th of June, when she was taken with
an attack of typhoid fever which lasted
AZ days. After the fever had left her she
seemed in fair way to recover. but
about month ago she took cold and
gradually grew worse. A few weeks
ago she went to Oconomwoc to receive
treatment at DR.. Nole's sanitarium, but
experienced no beneficial results. Mrs
Babcock was born at Shoreham, VT.
October 20, 1912. Her maiden name was
Sarah Jones. In 1863 she came to Sun
Prairie on visit to her brothers, c. ii
Jones and |. ID. Hayden, and remained
here about a year. 1t was while on hel
visit here that she became acquainted
with Mr.. Babcock, and to whom She wa.

The Court Says the Liquor was sold in Kut-
land.
In the famous original package liquor
case of John O'Ne;l against the State Of
Vermont the United States Supreme Court
Monday decided against O'Ncll and dis
missed the writ of error, holding that the
sale of liquor took place in Rutland, Vt,
and not in Whitehall, y. Y, as claimed,
aud that. therefore, there was no fed
eral-United Statcs-questjon involved
Of violation of the constitution Justices
Field and Harlan dissentcd.
History of the Cnsr.
Iohn O'Ncil was a wholesale and retail
dealer in Whitehall, y. Y, and it was
claimed that he shipped Jugs containing
liquor to persons in Rutland, Vt. The
Jugs were marked &c. o. D." aad the OK
press charges were paid b. the persons
that ordered the liquor. He was indict-
ed for violation Of the law Of the state
of Vermont forbiddng unlicensed sale OF
intoxicants. The trial resulted in his con
viction of 457 olfcnses against the law,
and fines were rolled up to the amount
S9lAO and costs One months lmprlson-
mcnt was also ordered, with additional
Imprisonment in case the fines were not
paid ONeilappealed, but final Judgment
was given against him by the Supreme
Court of Vermont in February, 1856.
This case is really the original o: the
original package cases before the United
States Supreme Court, it having anteda-
ted the case from Iowa, the decision OF!
which created such a stir throughout the
country and resulted in the enactment OF
legislation by Congress comforting on the
states power to regulate interstate com
mcrcc so far as related to the introdnc.
ton ofliquors into their borders. Owing
to more active prosecution, however,
the Iowa case was decided before argu-
mcnt began in this case.
