and the transposition of words and
phrases. The grammar has been vastly

been smoothed over into a perfect
masterpiece.
Chief among the corrections made is
the reduction from 80 to 20 years as
the period liking the time during which
the Republicans tried to secure an in

Wool Merchant Eaton Of Boston, Who Failed
This Week. Married Augusta Girl.

Bangor, Aug. 6.-W. ID. Eaton, the
Boston wool merchant, whose failure
for $o50,000 was announced. Monday, is
very well known in this part of Maine
ergy and extensive business interests.
For some years he was a merchant in
Dexter. conducting a large general
store and doing quite an outside bust
ness in potatoes, hoop poles and other
country products at the same time
When his first wife died, some %
years ago. he married a daughter of
the late Rev. G.. w. Quimby of Au-
gusta. The wool house in Boston,
with which he has so long been iden-
titled. was originally established by
Mr.. Rodlitf, brother-in-law of +. In
gals of this city. The firm was Rod
lift x Eaton for a number of years
Then Mr.. Rodlitf retired and the bust
ness has since been conducted by Mr.
Eaton.
In Dexter Mr.. Eaton, by close atten-
ton to his affairs and economical liv
ing accumulated a nice fortune but in
Boston his personal and family ex-
penses have been very heavy and the
decline of wool in view of Mr.. Eaton's
extensive interests was more than he
could stand.
His eastern Maine acquaintance. by
whom he is held in high esteem. have
heard of his misfortune with genuine
regret and hope that he may soon be
upon his feet again and on the road to
prosperity
