NO MORE STREET LIGHTS.
THE "JUICE" WILL BE TURNED OFF
NEXT MONDAY.

South Paris streets will 60 dark Sept
LIST. That was decided at the meeting OF
the South Paris Village Corporation last
Monday night.
Hon. James S. Wright was chosen
moderator.
N. d. Bolster of the committee chosen
at the annual meeting made report Civ
ing statistics of the prices paid in a num-
Der of Maine towns and cities for electric
lights operated by water power with
or without an auxiliary steam plant.
| While conditions varied much in the
different towns as to the price paid, the
candle power of the lights, and the
hours run, careful analysis Of the table
seems to show that the new prices of the
Oxford Light Co. are proportionately
higher than in most if not all the other
towns.
Superintendent W. j. Jones, who was
present to represent the Oxford Light
Co., submitted scheme of lighting
which comprised seven arc lights and
some over fifty 25-candle power incan-
descents. In the judgment of some of
those present, this scheme did not pro-
vide sufficiently for certain places in the
borders of the village, so that to COM
plete the system the incandescents would
have to be increased to about sixty. This
would make the cost approximately
Sll00 per year for lights run till l
O'Clock, as against an average of SI25.62
in the past five years, for an arc light
system run till II o'clock.
After the discussion of the subject was
finished, it was voted to adjourn the
meeting for three months-till Nov. 18th
and to instruct the assessors to make
no contract for electric street lights in
the mean time. The vote was "a in favor
to l6 opposed. So the street lights will
go off Sept. lst, except such as indi-
viduals may provide.
The price heretofore paid has been
SD. 90 per year for arc lights run till II
o'clock. The new price is 5000 per
year for arc lights run till o'clock, and
$1,000 for incandescents. For all-night
service the prices are $4,000 and Sl4.5O
respectively. Moonlight schedule.
AS everybody knows, by virtue of the
general and special laws of the State of
Maine, no other corporation except the
oxford Light Co. can sell electric light
or power in the towns of Norway and !
Paris. The only way in which the ;
South Paris Village Corporation or any
body in the two towns can buy electric !
light is to buy it of the Oxford Light
Co., at the price it asks, or of some in
dividual. Under strict construction of
the statute, which the courts have given,
an individual may sell light and power, /
but no individual is likely to invest so
much capital in single enterprise with
out the protection which incorporation
would afford. !
Dark streets will seem like going back
into the dark ages, but the people are
the situation cheerfully, and
seem to think we can stand it for three
any way.

The next remedy proposed Oy inc
Democrats is sort of st. Jacobs Ola
specific for all the evils of trusts. 1t Is
to take the tariff off of trust-made pro-
ducts. The country rings with the cry
that "the tariff is the mother of trusts. !"
The tariff is not the mother of trusts,
as may be shown by numerous illustra-
tions. One of the greatest of the trusts,
the Standard Oil Co., deals in product
ON which there is no tariff. Hundreds
of articles which are protected by high
tariff are not made by trust. Free
trade England is full of trusts, and
they may be found all over Europe.
The individual competitor. has the
same protection under the tariff as the
trust. Repeal the tariff, and who will
90 to the wall first? The weaker, of
course. the individual competitor, which
is the very result desired by the trust.
Reduce or repeal the tariff so as to
DESTROY not only the individual compel.
itor but the trust as we'll, and what
happens? The trust moves out of the
country, and we have lost the industry
Yet the repeal of the tariff is the
Democratic proposition, and the result
inc destruction of the industry is just
the end towards which it looks. The
bill introduced by Richardson, the
Democratic leader of the house, relating
to the tin industry, provides for admit
ting tin free "until the production Of TN
shall hare ceased"
Now let us see what the record of thu
Democratic party is in the matter o.
trusts. Mr.. Bryan mentions "by thu
wayn that he once introduced bills il
congress to take the tariff off trust-mad'
. articles. He might also mention "by tn
way" that the bills were referred to thu
ways and means committee, of which h
was a member, and that they wer
never reported, nor was anything eve
heard of them. l have introduced il
the present congress two bills. one al
amendment to the Sherman anti-trus
, law, and the other providing for public
ity in the matter of trusts, and If the
. are never reported shall at least b
. able to give my constituents a reaso

Horse Thief.
Stole the Team to Get to His
Dying Mothers Side.
HIS CASE LOOKS HAY,
Took the Outfit in Front of St.
Joe Police Station.
Is Captured at LeayenwOrth
After q Hard Drive.

Leavenworth, Dec. 1.-The Times says;
A man who gave his name as Charles
Smith was arrested here early Monday
morning on the charge of horse stealing,
but was not docketed at the police
station until yesterday noon when it
was ascertained beyond a doubt that
he had stolen a team he had in his
possession at ST. Joseph. Mo-. directly
in front of the police station Saturday
afternoon at 4 O'Clock. He drove like
mad to LeayenWorth, crossing the Mis-
souri, river at Atchison. and It. was
only through his team and wagon being
covered with mud that his arrest was
made.
Officers HaIpin and Prather met
Smith at Tenth and Ottawa streets
Monday morning about / O'Clock. He
asked them where he could put a team
for the night and the officers began to
question him. He said he lived in Salt
Creek valley. but this was doubted is
the team looked as if it had been driven
many miles. Smith was brought to
town. and his team and wagon placed in
livery stable. Further questioning con-
WINGED the officers that Smith had stolen
the horses, so he was taken to the POI
lice station. He claimed that he was
from kickaD0O, where he said he had
been working for six months. yet he
could give the names of none Of the
residents in that section.
Yesterday morning card was re-
ceived from St. Joseph, giving a descrip-
ton of the team stolen. One was bay
mare and the other bay mare mule.

saw he was up against it." so made
clean breast of the theft to Officer Hal
pin and Jailer Glynn. He was taken
back to st. Joseph yesterday evening
without requisition papers by Detective
Hensley of that city's secret force. :.
Smith told the officers that he had
served a term of three years in the
Kansas state penitentiary for stealing
a team of horses in WYandotte county.
but refused to state his right name be-
cause of the fact that his mother is now
lying on her death bed near Bonner
Springs, and he feared that if she
heard OF his escapade she would die of
a broken heart. .'He4 said be had iusi
