That Providence works in mysteri
GUS way was impressed upon the citi-
zens of Mineral Point with acute force
last Friday evening, Feb. Is, as the
shades of night were supplanting the
rays d day. 1t was occasioned by the
sudden tieath of Mr.. Thomas Sims.
During the day Mr.. Sims appeared in
his accustomed genial spirits and fair
health, both at home and among his
fellow citizens. AS late as four O'Clock
he was in Herman Weisen's barber
shop, having Jaat been shaved, and
while there noticed two loads of wood
passing. Upon recognizing the drivers
Mr. Sims knew the wood was for him,
so he stated for home at once. On
arriving there he went into the house
and chatted briefly in his pleasantest
mood with his wife and Mrs W. j.
Penhallegon, a neighbor, who CHANGED
to be present Removing his overcoat
and putting on an old pair of mitts, Mr..
Sims went out and conversed with the
parties who brought the wood while
they were cording it in the yard at the
rear of the house. A neighbours little
four-year-old boy, Russell Curnow, of
whom Mr.. Sims was very fond, joined
him and remained until after the wood
haulers had withdrawn with their teams
and ,yora nttf of oiubf
All this took place before FIVE clock,
as at about fifteen minutes before 5 the
little Curnow boy while crying bitterly
knocked at the back door and gave the
alarm to the effect that there was
something the matter with Uncle Tom,
as he called him. Mrs. Sims went out
and on seeing her husband PROSTATE on
the snow rushed to his assistance. Find
ing him limp and gasping, she hurried
to the house for some brandy, but when
she returned life was extinct He lay
between where the wood was piled and
the gate which it is supposed he went
to close. An alarm for help quickly
brought more than enough men to CON
vey the body to the house, and doctors
hastened upon call, but to no avail.
The cause of this sudden death is
generally regarded as arising from the
heart, although deceased was never
known to complain of heart trouble.
For three or four years he had expert
enced weakness Of stomach and lum-
bago trouble, but not TO such an extent
that he was regarded as a sick man, as
he appeared among US daily in his ac-
customed good spirits
Had he lived until the 18th Of next
April, Thomas Sims would have been
SO years old. He was born in Mineral
Point and, with the exception Of brief
sojoIrn in Colorado and a few years
spent in the hardware business in Iowa
after his marriage, his entire life was
1 spent here. He was a quiet, honest
and unassuming citizen, dutifu, low
ling son, true, devoted husband, and
as neighbor ever helpful and willing.
In March, 1879, be was united in mar
rage to Miss Ella Nichols of Darlington,
who survives him, together with one

The Illinois state legislature is Ii

The Illinois state legislature is the
first in the northern states to ratify
the proposed amendment to the fed
eral constitution giving congress au-
hority to- levy an income tax. 1t is
strange that Illinois should take the
lead for q reform so distasteful to
men OF wealth, for whom 1llinoisehas
always shown marked respect. 1t
shows the power Of public opinion
when SO corrupt a legislature as that
OF Illinois and so doubtful a friend of
the people as Senator Root, are heard
the income tax. It was re
marked in the Illinois legislature that
l!it was proposed to employ the income
tax only TOR emergencies. But when
this constitutional amendment opens
the way to direct federal taxation. II
will no longer be possible to plead for
continuation Of unfair indirect tax
alton through the tariff. It was heard
SO recently a during the recent spec
ial session Of congress that the tariff
must be devised primarily for the
raising Of revenue-that wal Presi-
dent Taft's Recommendation. But
what will be said when the income
tax offers q revenue alternative that
would be not only effective but ire
mendously popular as we'll? I the
question whether the comparatively
small number Of rich shall be taxed
In proportion to their wealth, the rich
will md themselves in q small minor
ity.

ply with the law would be invalid.
The court held, as will be seen from
the paragraph quoted below that the
railroad commissioners had no au-
j thortty to prepare any schedule of ex-
press rates under the law.
This is the law In its entirety. 1t
provides very plainly that the express
companies shall file before July LIST,
1909, a new schedule of rates, which
shall be so per cent of those in effect
Jan. 1st, 1909. They failed to do
so. Thereupon, for some reason, the
board of railroad commissioners pro-
)ceeded to make up a new schedule of
rates making a twenty per cent re-
! duction. The express companies
%thereupon sued in federal court for
an injunction to restrain the board
from enforcing it's schedule. This APP
~plication the court has sustained by
ov~erruling a demurrer to it.
The concluding paragraph of Judge
Carland's opinion is as follows:
The words such schedule refer
to the rates established by the act
and the power given is only to
change, modify and establish a rate
in such schedule that has ben found
to be unjust or too high or discrim-
inatory, The legislature certainly
would not have gone to the trouble of
establishing legislative rates and in
the same law provided that the rail-
road commission could abrogate
them as 500 as they went into effect
by making a new general schedule.
1t seems clear that the legislature
for fear it might in some case do an
injustice by making a horizontal re-
duction in rates by sections 5 and 6
of chapter number 159, intended to
provide a remedy to the express com
panies or any person interested to
complain in particular instances of
the injustice of the rate which would
be created by the provisions of sec
ton A.. AS the court is Of the opin-
ion for the reasons herein stated that
the board of railroad commissioners
had no authority to make a schedule
for the rates complained of, it is not
necessary to determine whether chap
ter 159 is valid or not. The demurrer
will be overruled, and it is so order
ed"
There is nothing to do now but to
await an amendment to the law by
the next legislature. The measure re-
equiled the express companies to first
reduce their rates twenty per cent
and afterward apply to the board Of
railroad commissioners for relief
from any rate complained of. In other
words, the legislature attempted to
put the burden of proof on the ex-
press companies of showing that the
new rates were too low. If the ex-
press companies have property to con-
fscate. let them produce it. It GER
tainly IS not apparent now.
The legislature can hardly be
blamed for the failure of the attempt
to reduce express rates. 1t could not
anticipate that there was to be a
change in the express companies do
ing business in the state before July
LIST of last year.
