Albert q. Wheeler.

After q severe illness of q few days
with pneumonia, Albert o. Wheeler
died early Tuesday morning at his home
in the Bolster District, Paris. Mr..
Wheeler was born in Westbrook thirty.
eight years ago, moving to Portland
when small boy. he learned the wood
turning business, and was engaged in it
at Portland for some years. In 1894 he
purchased the Briggs farm in the Whit
temore District in Paris, and lived there
until 1905, when he purchased the farm
on which he thereafter lived.
Mr.. Wheeler married Annie R. Whit
temore of Paris, who survives him, with
two children, Albert a., II years of age,
and Marion E., years of age. He is

Wheeler, and one brother, G. G. Wheel
or, both of Bangor.
He was a member of the South Paris
Baptist Church, of Paris Grange, and of

Mr.. Davies Addresses Paris Grange

Paris Grange on Saturday entertained
a good number of West Paris Grange,
also the members of VIM X. Kimball
Post, G. A r., and VIM. K. Kimball
Circle, Ladies of the G. A. K. The
tables in the dining room of the grange
were nearly twice filed at dinner.
In the afternoon number of other
citizens came in, and Howard Davies OF
Yarmouth was introduced to talk on
taxation. Lack of space forbids more
than brief outline of Mr.. Davies re-
marks. He called attention to the fact
that the legislature of this state is to
be called upon to vote on the income
tax amendment to the constitution, and
advocated the income tax as a right
thing, putting the tax upon wealth. He
did not much favor the corporation tax,
putting a tax on the business of the cor.
poration, which the corporation would
be pretty sure to collect out of the peo'
pie eventually, but considered that an
income tax on individuals would tend to
relieve the poor man to some extent.
Mr.. Davies reviewed the tendency OF
the times, not only in this country bu
all over the world, in the direction OF a
demand for more power for the people
and advocated the direct primary as one
of the means to that end. He also stat
ed that in his opinion present tariff rates
are too high, and that "the time has
come when the demand for lower tariff
can not be longer denied" There was g
brief general discussion following his
remarks.

NOTES.
In the case of Eames VS.. Albany, non
suit was ordered, with the right of ex-
ceptions. This ia the case where the
school committee failed to provide trans
portation for the daughter of citizen to
"the nearest suitable SCHOOL, as the law
provides, but provided transportation to
another school, whereupon her father
carried her himself and sued the town
for pay. The decision of Judge White
house indicates that in case OF failure of
the school committee to comply with
the law, a different remedy must be had
from that tried in this case.

Andrew B. Jordan of North Bridgton
pleaded guilty to forgery of his wife's
name to a note. Hon. A. S. Kimball
appeared for Mr. Jordan, and made a
statement of the circumstances under
which the act was done. In fixing the
sent ence, Judge Whitehouse said it was
his theory of the criminal law that it Is
not the severity of the punishment but
it's certainty and swiftness that is effect
i've. Justice should be tempered with
mercy. He imposed sentence of six
months in Jail at Augusta.

~
South Paris and for seven years lived
there in rented houses, Mr.. Cummings
still carrying on the farm. Mr.. Cum
mings finally decided that 1t was neces-
sary to reduce his expenses, and that to
do it they must move back to the farm.
Mrs. Cummings refused to 60 unless a
team was placed at her disposal, to use
whenever she desired. Mr.. Cummings
refused to accede to this condition, and a
separation was effected, Mr.. Cummings,
with their two sons, taking portion OF
the household goods and going to the
farm, and Mrs. Cummings, with their
daughter, going to her people In the
town of Norway.
Evidence of cruel and abusive treat
ment was introduced, the cruelty con-
sisting more in neglect and nagging than
in positive and aggressive acts.
Mrs. Cummings testified in her own
behalf, and her version of matters differ
cd somewhat In details from that OF her
husband.
At the conclusion of the testimony the
case was submitted to the court without
argument. Judge Wbitehouse briefly
viewed the case, saying that while
there had been a lack of due considera.
ton In the relation OF the parties, and
neither was without blame for the condi.
ton of affairs, the evidence did not
maintain the charge of desertion, neither
did it show such cruel and abusive
treatment as would justify divorce
The divorce was therefore denied.
Another contested divorce from Hiram
was expected in the afternoon, but after
arrival at the court house the parties
adjusted their financial disagreements
and the divorce was allowed to be OBJ
tanned without contest.
Court finally adjourned Friday fore
nom.

PREPARATION GRANTED
Tobacco Company Wins Case Against
Common Carriers.


Washington, April 1S.--Rates on raw
sugar from New York City to Reids-
vile. N, c.. conceded by the carriers
to have been relatively out Of line
and wrong" when considered in con-
nection with rates to other points In
North Carolina. We're declared to-day
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to he unreasonable and excessive,
The decision was rendered In the
case Of the T. r. Penn Tobacco Com
.pany against the Old Dominion Steam
ship Company and various railway lines
operating from Norfolk to Southern
points, The carriers recently, reduced
the rates on raw sugar from New York
to southern points, grouping the Reds-
Vile rate with -the>> >>rates In effect to
Winston Salem and Martinsville, VA.
The commission expresses Its, appre-
citation of the principle that a reduc-
rion in rates, standing by Itself. ought
not to prove that previous higher
rate was unreasonable; but the opinion
lays down the principle that when the
reduction is accompanied by an ad-
mission that the previous rate was
wrong the commission Is forced to
the conclusion that 1T was excessive,
therefore, Is granted to
the tobacco company.
