One of the old landmarks of Paris
Hill is no more. The old sled factory
building that has stood at the east
end of the village for many years has
been taken down recently. This and
other buildings were erected in the
early seventies when the sled manu-
featuring industry was conducted here
by the late Henry F. Morton and
others under the name of the Paris
Hill Manufacturing Co, out of which
has developed the present large indus
try conducted at South Paris. Since
the removal Of the business to South
Paris in 1884 this building has been
used mostly for local storage purposes.
1T was owned by the late Hiram r.
Hubbard.

those who think of searching for the
missing twenty had better direct
their efforts to some locality not less
remote than Vinalhaven. With a gale

PUBLISHERS AT S12 PER.

A recent speaker before the Mis-
souri, Press Association remarked
that there are in Missouri 800 pub
fishers who do not make over $12
per week. Nearby states have an
equal number, he said. They work
seventy to eighty hours per week.
When the followers of so fine.
profession are to a large extent so
poorly paid, some grievous fault eX-
lists. Is it the editors fault or the
publics? 1t can hardly be the lat
ter, In these days when the farmer
drives a motor car, when the painter
and carpenter earn so to 100 per
cent more than few years ago.
The editor, like the farmer, has
prided himself on his individuality.
The farmer plants himself on the
sod of his farm and glories in king
ship over all he surveys. Similarly
the editor feels that his smeared type
cases and dusty desk are little
empire all his own. The paper may
be smoochy, it's columns made up
with a shovel, but it is "his," and
not all the Rockefellers can change
it.
This defiant isolation has been
picturesque. In some phases it has
heroic elements, when the editor
speaks out in meetin' for things that
to him seem god and true. Most of
the time it has meant simply that
his children have quit at the high
school while the other fellows went
to college.
There will never be trusts in the
newspaper business. But the pub
Usher who sells his space and his
information service for prices that
leave him stranded in the remotest
back eddies of prosperity is fool,
and he knows it better than any one
else.
The State Press Association should
take up the problem of giving the
country editor an adequate reward
for his intellectually beneficial SER
vice. But he must stand up in his
boots and demand his own rights like
a man,

MEARS' GLOBE-CIRCLING REC
ORD.

If John Henry Mears had asked
that trains and boats be held so he
could reach the bedside of a sick
wife or child, he would have been
curtly reminded that the fixed move
ments of transportation cannot be
upset for individual needs. But as
he was making sporting record,
the most rigid time table proved pill
able and the most autocratic Off
cials friendly.
Thus often the merest paper bau-
BILE counts above the most substan
tial goods of life, if it stands for the
qualities of grit and resourcefulness
to which the world gives its first ad
miration.
Travelling conditions have changed
nightly in the forty years from
Phileas Fogg, in Verne's whimsical
yarn, Around the World in Eighty
Days" Verne's pictures of Ameri-
can railroading in those days, while
highly colored, were not wholly i'm
aginative. In Nevada. Fogg's train
was held up three hours while a
herd of 10000 bufaloes crossed the
track. While passing the Rockies,
progress was blocked by a danger
Gus bridge. When the passengers
learned that there were from fifty
to eighty chances Of getting across
alive, they unanimously voted to try
it. A lurid conception of American
rashness, though the modern death
toll on our railroads gives it touch
of realism.
The reduction of the earth-circling
record from seventy-two days in the
time of Nellie BLY, in 1890 to Mears'
notch of thirty-five days, is of course
mostly due to the Trans-Siberian
railway. The fabulous wealth of this
silent land of silver, copper lead,
fur and cattle is a reserve of re-
sources on which the rapidly filling
states of our union must some day
draw. Mears~ time table of today
will be commonplace to the business
man of some other generation.

A BOOM FOR TULLEY.
CherryvaIe Republican Would Run
Him for Governor.

The Cherryvale Republican has
started a boom for Mark Tulley of In
dependence as a harmony candidate
for governor, but Tulley has thanked
the publisher for the offer and says he
doesn't want to run-at least not now.
Tulley was for six years state treas
urer and retired last January. Since
that time he has been looking after
business affairs at his old home in In
dependence.
Recently Tulley made a trip to
Cherryvale. While there he was quot
ed as saying that the Underwood tar
iff bill would do more to cement the
factions in the Republican party than
all the harmony meetings which the
state and national committees would
be able to call, although Tulley further
declared that he believed the Topeka
gathering would be a profitable meet
ing.
"I am of the opinion" Tulley is
quoted as saying, that Republicans
all over the nation will lose sight of
their differences when they see the
injury wrought to our industries by
the tariff for revenue measure now
before the senate"
Then reporter timidly asked Tul-
ley if he might become candidate for
governor next year. And the former
treasurer replied that he was not
candidate for Hodges job or any other
iOb-at this time.

SAND Diet CHICKS
Guards Surround 'Weighted''
Fowls i'm N. v.
Dealers Boycott Handling of
Thirty Carloads.

New York, May 22.-Extra guards
are surrounding the West Washington
market where 10000 live chickens al
legged to have been fed sand to make
them weigh heavier, are piled roof
high in their crates under a boycott by
the association of dealers. RumorS
last night of plots to poison the chick
ems were the cause of the extreme
care taken to guard their quarters.
Commercial men remained in their
stalls all night.
In Jersey City where the arrival of
fresh trains from the south and west
had brought the humber of boycotted
chickens Up to more than 80 car loads,
or 10000, there were reports of pois-
on plots and the attendants were
warned to be on the lookout for
strangers in the terminal yards.
Reports that thousands of the sand
fed chickens were either starving or
were dying of disease yesterday result
ed in investigation by the New York
and New Jersey health officers. So
far the health officers have taken no
action on either these complaints or
the charge that chickens have been
and are being given doses of sand by
shippers. There were no sales of the
chickens yesterday, the wholesalers
maintaining that they would buy no
more weighted fowls.

New York, May 22.-The lower East
side is in mourning for THE Angel
Doctor is dead. Thirty years ago he
came to Little Hungary and since that
time had endeared himself to the poor
of the district, administering to their
ills and steadfastly refusing pay. Few
of his neighbors knew more of him than
that, but when he died in his barren
room yesterday they hastened out to
spend their pennies for candles. They
marched up the narrow stair by twos
and threes and stood in about the
blanket covered figure.

years ago and came to this country in

and in 1888 settled on the East side.
He is said to have been able to speak

Omaha, May 22.-Vio1a Bins. a 10
year old girl of Plains, Kan, last night

er could reach the city. Last night
the mother went to the home, and the
daughter started with her to the sta

When they reached Thirteenth and
Dodge streets, the young woman ran

of Tormentor at Kansas City.

Kansas City, May ga man with
a short-helved axe in one hand stood

streets, a little after midnight this
morning. 1t was still and quiet ex-

the heavy breathing of men and
horses. Perhaps Edward Griffin, the
camp cook, who had been asleep in
the tent had waking moment of hor-
ror as he saw the man with the axe
outlined in the moonlight in the door
way.
A moment later the blunt side of
the axe had been sunk in the front
and back of Griffin's head. When the
cook did not respond to the getting up
bell in the camp at 6 O'Clock this
mroning, the other graders went to his
tent to see why. They found him un-

BANKER DIED "GAME"
Georgian Who Swallowed Poison Met
Death Without F1inching.

Macon, Ga. May 22.-B. Sanders
Walker, the young Macon banker who
died this morning at 1885 O'Clock as
result of mistake in swallowing a
bichloride of mercury tablet instead
of a headache remedy, met death with
no sign of f1inching. He faced the end
with the same resignation that has
rendered his case more than usually
interesting throughout the country.
During the last day Walker was un-
der the influence of opiates most of
the time, but in conscious intervals
gave evidence that he was not suffer-
ing. Scores of sympathetic messages
were received by the family and many
of them were in the nature of inquiries
as to the treatment being given Mr..
Walker.
Memb bers of the family are said to
have expressed much dissatisfaction
with some of the reports that have
originated in Macon. They declared
in his bedroom after it was discovered
that he had taken the tablet of poison
in mistake for a headache remedy.
DR.. Maury NJ. Stahler, Walkers
brother-in-law, made the following an
nouncement:
1T was a great fight he made-a
splendid one. And yet, hopeless. This
he himself knew absolutely from the
beginning. Although a very young
man, his affairs and concerns were
many and important and the duty of
his doctors plainly was to tell him that
he could not live.
Medical science did everything pos
sible but all the physicians could do
was to fight off death a little longer.
The fine courage of Mr. Walker was
their greatest aid. He never fell into
hysteria over the cruelty of his fate.
he smiled in the face of his family and
nobly made the best of it. But the odds
were hopeless
