DEATH OF HON. WIN. II. pueoIs.
A Leading Citizen OF Randolph and
Well Known Throughout the State.

A distinguished citizen OF Randolph and
true son OF Vermont passed away Tuesday
In the death OF Hon. William III. Dubois,
wha breathed his last at 3 o'clock IN the
afternoon after three months Of steady de-
cline with tuberculosis OF the lungs. He
was one OF group of strong meu whom
Randolph proudly claims as sons and Of
whom many, like his boyhood mate and
lifelong friend, Col. X. J. kimball, have
finished their course and now rest from
their labors.
A keen intellect and profound grasp OF
financial affairs not only made him con-
trolling factor in town and county matters
but brought him also into the wider
sphere OF state activities. He was untir-
ing In his service to the town and village
and took just pride in the wise adminis-
tration that ensured prosperity. Though
burdened with many public cares and re-
sponsibilities, he yet found time to re-
spond to the personal demands constantly
made upon him for advice and assistanse
in the acknowledgement Of perplexing mat
ters, and would take infinite pains Ia
bring order out Of the confusion OF Others
and to set things on their proper footing
Long will that Judgment be missed upon
which 1t has been almost an instructive
habit to rely.

WHAT Is DOING
THE WORLD OVER.
A WORD ABOUT THE LEADING
EVENTS or THE WEEK
History OF the Idaho Case


The jury has not yet been fully secured
for the trial OF William ID. Haywood, one
OF the leaders OF the Western Federation
OF Miners, who. with Meyer and Petit
bone, also officials in the order, are
charged with conspiracy In causing the
death OF Former Governor Steunenberg
OF Idaho. No member Of q labor union 10
accepted, and each talesman IL asked
whether any opinion on the case or con-
cerning the prisoners expressed BY
President Roosevelt would influence him.
Great interest attaches TO the outcome.
The allegation is that Haywood, Meyer
and Pettibone conspired TO cause the
assassination OF Steunenberg, who had
become obnoxious TO the miners union
because OF some OF his official acts; that
him, and that Orchard did this by ex-
ploding a bomb as the victim passed
through the gateway at his home, In
juring him so badly that he died within
aa hour. Orchard had been seen skulking
about, was arrested and evidence enough
secured TO connect him with the crime.
Orchard confessed, duplicating the
Federation officials. These were In
Colorado. They were arrested there and
the governor OF Colorado honored re-
quest for their extradition to Idaho,
where they were taken. Under habeas
corpus proceedings, the question went TO
the federal court whether they could be
held in Idaho, when they were not in that
state at the time of the assassination, and
the court held that they could. Haywood
Is the first of the trio to be tried. II is
expected that Orchard will take the stand
against him and reveal the plot. The
real issue is the ability Of the state ia
corroborate him.

SM|THF|ELD PLANS
 ID AVOID TAXATION Steps Taken to Incorporate
 That Territory VOTE UNDER MILLER BILL Much of the Property Is owned By Four or Five Families and Claim
 Is Made, That 1t Is Non- Income Producing
VOTE UNDER MILLER BILL

There is movement on foot to incor- porate much of the property west of Birmingham in anticipation of what may be done by the legislature looking to taking that part of the county into Greater Birmingham.
 Smithfield and much of the property surrounding it. is included in the plan, but as yet it cannot be said exactly how much will be taken in provided the town is incorporated. Much of the prop erty is owned by four or five people or families.
 It is stated the object of the plan to incorporate is the result of the agita- tion for Greater Birmingham. It is said that there is much of the property that does not bring any income and that if 1t were taken into the city limits it would cost more to improve it, lay streets, sewers, sidewalks and make other inn provements than the property would stand. It is claimed that it would be a matter of protection if the property were incorporated into town, so that there could be vote taken as to whether the town would or would not come into a Greater Birmingham.
 Under the Smyer bill with it's non-tax- ing districts, much of this property would come into the city without taxation and some of it would be taxed, principally that part which is occupied with resi- dences and homes.
 The Miller bill does not provide for any non-taxing districts and much of this land and property might be taken in and taxed it is claimed.
 Those interested in the movement state that the taxes would be but about one fourth of what is at present spent In maintaining the public school at Smith field and other public enterprises, but the fear they have is that the City Council might force too many improve ments. which would cost more than the property was worth
