Guided the question. Different forms
Of epilepsy We're explained by the wit
ness. When John McAlvey was re-
called to the stand to testify as to
whether or not to his knowledge the
deceased was always subject to cpl
leptic fits, he replied that Sullivan
had been. After the deposition of
John NJ. Leonard had been given the
noon recess was taken. .
At the afternoon session McAlvey
took the stand and testified that
Sullivan worked steadily in the shoe
factory and received LIS per day for
his work. DR.. Nutting, when recalled
as the next witness, was allowed to
state the amount of his bill for treat
ing Sullivan was 1925.
DR.. Frederick corroborated in a
large degree the testimony of DIR.
Nutting, and in his experience the
different cases of epilepsy with which
he had come in contact Were much
the same as DR.. Nuttings. AT this
point the state rested its case.
Bert A. Brown of Palermo, the
motorman of the car at the time OF
the accident. was the first witness
called by the defence. He stated that
he had not been in the employ of the
road since last July. The car on
which he was running arrived in
Hallowell at sos 2. NJ. He also testi-
fled that the arc light on the car
had been turned off and that the in
candescent light was the only light
by which the way before the ear was
lighted. Owing to a slight curve in
the track the rays of the light did not
shine directly ahead along the track
but shone little to the right.
Witness was asked by attorney for
plaintiff in further direct examination,
if he did not tell Conductor Piper that
he was afraid he had run over a man.
Attorney Philbrook objected at this
point, but the court refused To eX
clude the question, therefore the wit
ness was allowed to answer. His
reply was that he never made any
such statement to Piper
George Piper, the conductor. was the
next witness called. His testimony
was much the same as Browns.
Superintendent s. W. Dunn was
called next. Mr.. Dunn testified as to
the rules of the road, stating that the
arc light in the cars We're 10 be
turned off commencing at the over
head bridge. in Halfowell until Lou
don Hill had been reached.
DIR. CrOoker, called by the defence.
testified as to the different cases Of
epilepsy, and that the wound on Suili-
vans head might have been caused
by falling on a sharp stone, or the
like. After recalling DR.. Nutting for
a question the defence rested its
case.
Attorney Philbrook took but a short
time in summing up his case, putting
the points plainly before the jury.
The plaintiffs attorney had not
finished his closing argument when
court adjourned, until $50 Saturday
morning.

Rep. Alton c. Wheeler.

Mr.. Wheeler. representative to the
Legislature from South Paris, was the
first speaker introduced by Chairman
Mooney.
He confined his attention almost
wholly to the work Of the present
Legislative body, and the status Of the
Progressives in the lower branch.
He INDUCED in discussion of legis-
Iation pending, particularly public
utilities, adjustment OF grade cross
ings and changing of the date Of State
elections from September to Novem-
Der. Concerning the latter measure
he ayerred its passage would prevent
the alleged turning of huge sums of
money into the State in efforts to
make it favorable barometer for the
nation.
Mr.. Wheeler expressed a wish to
impress upon his listeners that other
parties voted with the Progressives.
not the Progressives with the other
parties, as stated in the press"
Commenting upon the defeat of wo-
man suffrage by the Democrats in the
House, he declared that he expected
when equal suffrage is realized the
Progressive ranks will be heavily aug
mented.
He went on with summary of con-
ditions in oxford county, and closed
with the declaration that ne had once
had the pleasure of voting for the
present candidate for mayor Of Au-
gusta, and that he would be very glad
to repeat the performance upon OPP
portunity.

Halbert p. Gardner.

Halbert p. Gardner remarked upon
the many ladies present and said he
believed they would become 4 power
despite the 18th Legislature.
H said he had not expected a rally
as he had not believed the Progressive
party of Augusta was large enough
to essay a rally in City hall.
Mr.. Gardner entered upon a general
summing up of conditions, as he sees
them, in what he termed the old line
parties, and thence to well FOUNDED
beliefs regarding the party in which
he claims membership.
He continued by declaring the Pro
Gressives have come to stay. AT
least" he avowed. I'm going to stay
awhile,"
1T isn't any one thing in either par
ty that has created this new body" he
went on, but the government has be-
come toe much a government for prop
erty and not for people"
Mr.. Gardner stated his belief that the
Progressive party is to become a pow
er in national legislation, and that
though now short on organization,
it would he long on votes, two years
hence.

FACTS ABOUT
THE DISTRICTS FARMS

ing the value OF land OF all the 217 farms
hereabouts, 11S are run by their owners,
and but 30 by tenants and managers.
That indicates, OF course. that farming
10 still q business in the District instead
Of being the hobby of rich men. Another
sign that the District farmer is nicely
fixed II given by the fact that four-fifths
OF the farms owned by men who get their
living from the soil are mortgage free,
while OF those mortgaged the average
amount OF the Hen is but % per cent or
the farms value. Moreover, while the
average debt Of the mortgaged farm has
increased in the past twenty years by IL
per cent. the value of the farms them.
selves has increased just about twice as
fast, or 121 per cent.
But Notwithstanding the agricultural
prosperity Of the District. farming is rap
idly going out. and without doubt will
soon be a lost art hereabouts. In fifty
years the per cent of the Districts land
area in farms has dropped from some w
per cent to just about 16 per cent, ana
the decrease is still keeping on. Farm
property today is worth about Ss4fo.rs,
or % per cent less than in 1900: and this.
notwithstanding the fact that during the
last ten-year period the average value OF
land per acre increased by $t3.Sa. Sig
nificantly enough. the opening decade or
the twentieth century is the first recorded
by the census office as having shown
decrease in the value of farm property.

from Illinois, only the 'effulgent whis-
kers" were mentioned
There has been a change
Last year Senator Lewis was in the ma :
tional eye for a time at the Baltimore
convention. Then it was noted that the
rudy whiskers were more modest in an
pearance than in the old days when he
hurled verbal javelns from the floor at
Speaker Reed.
Instead of being wide and flowing they
were closely trimmed. but still they were
the Lewis whiskers. Also, it was noted
that the sunny hair. with a note Of gold
cleaning through it. was thinning The
flame had gone out of 1t, and no longer
did it wave abroad and drop in careless
locks over the white brow.
Today, however. it is n different sort
of hair entirely. Possibly the senator
has bathed in the fountain Of youth
Whatever the cause, his hair is no longer
thin; no longer light golden. Atop his
head is a thick and flowing thatch Of
deep chestnut. so dark that 1t is almost
black Mingling down beside the ears
with the Lew. sonian whskers 1t makes
startling contrast
Something has happened. What it is
the Senator does not say. EVERYBODY has

...Do you believe God ever made men

grim fort on the river bank.
YES replied Col. futile. 1aconically.
and he promptly ordered the charge.
There was a heavy abattis of felled
trees between our position and the fort.
which lay in such position that when We
charged the Confederates could not reach
us until we were within about thou
sand yards of them. There were 576 men
in our regiment when they moved for

got within the fatal one-thousand- yard
limit, nearly one-half of the men fell

296 OF our regiment killed or wounded

began.

fierce was the onslaught that the part
