Alexander Wilson.

Alexander Wilson died at his home
in Callensburg, Pa, October 8, 1905,
aged "a years, months and IL days.
The deceased was born near Cal
lensburg where he resided during his
long and active life. He was son Of
Alexander and Jennie (McCombs) Will
son, both natives of Westmoreland
county, Pa.
His grandfathers, Parks Wilson and
Allen McCombs were of Scotch-Irish
descent and natives of South Carolina,
whence they came to Westlnoreland
county at very early day, when In
Gians formed the greater part of the
inhabitants.
The father Of the deceased moved to
Clarion county, Pa, In 1901 and
bought tract of land at the mouth
of Licking creek at 60 cents an acre.
He died September 10, 1878, aged 100
years and 6 months.
Alexander Wilson, the younger
whose death we now record, was one
of ten children. To simply say that
Mr.. Wilson was a good man would be
to do his memory meagre justice.
His life was a daily lesson in good
works, whether it be in thrift and in.
dustry or in devotion to his God.
He was a pillar in the Presbyterian
church at Callensburg where he will
be greatly missed. Perhaps no one
has grander church record than he
For more than forty years he was a
ruling elder in this church. He sat
in the same seat in this old church for
thirty years. He taught in the Sunday
school of this same church sixty-three
years, during which time he missed
but three Sabbaths. When the new
church building was erected about
three years ago, Mr.. Wilson literally
endowed it.
Mr.. Wilson by his industry, business
judgment and unbending integrity. ac
cumulated a comfortable share of the
good things Of this life.
Mr.. Wilson is survived by his wild
ow who was before her marriage tc

She was gracious help-meet to Mr.
Wilson In his last days. She is wo

ConsttutionaIity.
Des Moines, Oct. 24.-The supreme
court has declined to decide the con.
stitutionality of peddlers license Or
dinance until the question Is squarely
brought before it. The town of Sharon
appealed from district court verdict
in favor of w. A.lSmithart, an timer
ant salesman, whom the municipality
endeavored to tax under its peddler's
license ordinance. Smithart solicited
and received orders from house to
house for tea coffee and notions for
present and future delivery.
Associate Justice Ladd of the SUI
preme court, says in handing down
the opinion of the court: This may
have constituted him peddler within
the definition of the ordinance. This
was not enough, for it exacts licenses
from peddlers with packs or vehicles
only, and the defendant was not shown
to have either What he did without a
license was not prohibited. Before
such an ordinance can be assailed as
unconstitutional the record should es-

called by Mayor o.. l.. Ingledue, 1t is
probable that several hundred suits
will be commenced against the Bar
Der Asphalt company. 1t is claimed
that the paving was mot laid accord
ing to specifications and the suits will
be commenced to recover from the
paving company damages equal to the
difference in the contract price and
what the paving is actually worth.
AS the sums sued for will all be
less than $4,000 the company can not
appeal to the federal courts. Arrange
ments have been made by which one
firm will handle practically all the
suits on a percentage basis.
1t is expected to force the company
to settle as the court already has de-
cided In two cases that the paving
was not done according to specifica-
tions. 1t is claimed the only question
to be decided would be the value of
the paving, admitting it is not up to
the standard provided for in the con-
tract.
