When tin* trial of Mrs. Bradley was resumed to day it was apparent that the pr#*seeu tion would soon emnphdc Its testimony and the attorneys for the defence were prepared to present their side of the rase as speedily as possible. When eourt adjourned yesterday. District Attorney Bales* and his assistants were attempting to obtain from the police the details of tlm confession said to have been made hy Mrs. Bind ley immediately after her arrest on the charge of shooting former Senator Brown, hut up to that time Mr. Hoover had successfully opposed this purpose, because as In* claimed, it was under the false assumption on Mrs. Brad ley's part that what it said would not he used against her. The district attorney was not es pecially persistent in pressing the mint and early t l-« was juitc in i :if *«l to drop it a I* og*~*t li» r. 'Hie only remaining feature of his direct presen tation of 1 ho cuso is that rotating' to threats which it is claimed Mrs Brad ley 11:i«I mad* against Mr. Brown while ho was still in Sait Bake City an«l Mr. l-ak r uotili**d Mrs. Bradley's at Imnoys early today that, very little linn* would ho con;u ncd mi this fea ture of the rase. It was stat**d on behalf of Mrs. Bradley that the ilcfenec wmi'd 1m* be gun with the presentation «*f tosti inoiiy t*» sustain her pica that sho was insane and irresponsible when the shooting occurred, but that this would be preceded bv a statement from Mr. Hoover outlining in detail the evi dence upon whi^h this plea would b»* made. Then- were a uiimbm* of witnesses, mostly from tin* West, present in the court room reaov to testify to occitr reuces relating to tin* allege*] intimacy between Senator Brown and Mrs. Bradl* y, which, it was b'diovod hy tlie d* f. nee, would go far to substantiate tln ir contention that their client was irrational when the shooting occurred. The district aUo»n**y finailv decid' d to m ake a further effort to bring out tie* facts concerning Mrs. Bradley’s statement at tie* police station in which ho was successful.

Whitcomb, who in part nership with George C. Cannon con ducts a gr iccry store on Main street. The sketch was accompanied by a fine picture. Thirty years on one business street ought to give a man a right to be counted among the oldest and most successful business men in Waterville. Young men may he old business men if they follow the course which lias been pursued by Seldon JO. Whitcomb of the grocery firm of Whitcomb Cannon, Main street. Mr. Whitcomb was horn in Belfast, Aug. fi. 1S67, and was christened Seldon Eli Whitcomb. His parents moved to Waterville when tlie Belfast train stopped at the Wins low station and when masons were piai ing the foundation for the first Lockwood cotton mill. Mr. Whitcomb was I ut five years old when he took un residence in Waterville. He has re sided Ik re ever since. He was educat ed in the common schools in the days when the boy who wanted an education worked afternoons and evenings and atonded school during the remaining hours of his waking. Mr. Whitcomb at the age of 10 years began working for* noons in the famous old Derucher market, then managed by Peter T)e rueher on a Min street and where the store of Stewart Bros, now is. Mr. White ,nib attended school in the after noon. He well remembers the first barrel of flour he was ever able to take up stairs. Much of the light groceries were car ried to patrons in baskets and the grocer's boy was the fellow who lugged it on his arm. Mr. Whitcomb remained with the De racher market until years after the original proprietor died and was for several years with the firm of Stewart Bros.

THE DAILY MARKET REPORTS NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Features of the Day’s Dealings in All The Leading Stocks. NV-w York, Nov. i;.—The stock market u the iijipearanee of t. ‘V1 but i, was apparently urgent an,1 there was no correspon.lins ileman.l t i'1*"1; The U-ar party was accused, also with J.!j-;e bitterness of helping he hecline in enter to profit from the sellers.

Later in the day the liarrfnan Pacifies were brought into the line r f depression by the publication of the earnings of the companies for Sep tember. Net earnings of both companies showed heavy declines compared with September of the proceeding year. The increase in operating expenses for South ern Pacific was that the per cent was greater than the increase in gross earn ings while for Union Pacific, the increase in expenses was twice as great as the increase in gross earnings. The tendency thus disclosed has become fairly general in the reports of railroad earnings for Septoinuei opinion on the general situation was distinctly brighter, in spite of the ap parent gloom that overspread the stock market. The depression was partly senti mental and associated with the tragic ending of the life of the former presi dent of the Knickerbocker Trust Co. The premium on currency was inclined to relax and bids were not in evidence in some qu;" ters where the demand has made Itself dear and the premium oper ations. Kstimates of the week’s cash movement indicate a moderate loss by the banks, owing to the continued heavy shipments to the interior, but an im proved bank position is expected, owing to the lack of reflection of the early gold Imrorts in last week’s bank statement.

Russian Parliament Takes Recess Un til Next Week. St. Petersburg, Nov. 15.—Neither of the Houses of Parliament was in ses sion today pending the audience which President Khomyakoff is to have of Emperor Nicholas. The next session will be held Nov. IS. The opening of the third Parliament yesterday attracted comparatively lit tle attention in the country and the comment of the st. Petersburg papers today had little weight, being confined to indiscriminate praise on the part of the Novoe Vremva and other Con servative journals for the "truly Rus sian note struck by the president of the Lower House. King George of Greece was onee walking in the vicinity of his palace 1 when the sharp challenge of a sentry rang out, "Who goes there?" The King made no reply. Again came the sentry's demand. “Who goes there? Answer, or I'll fire." Still the King was silent. The next instant the silence was broken bv the sharp crack of a rifle and King George felt a bullet plow through the sleeve of his over coat. Then, to the terror of the sentry, he made himself known. Next day he sent for the man and after compli menting him on the way he had done his duty dtcorated the astonished sol dier with the Order of Redemption* "Had dyspesia or indigestion for years. No appetite, and wliut I did eat distressed me terribly. Murdock Blood Bitters cuied n:e.” J. H. Walker, Sunbury, Ohio. Don't let tlie baby suffer from eczema sores or ar.v itching of skin.

Harvest Moon Grange of Thorndike observed its 33d anniversary Nov. 13 by an all-day meeting. The noon banquet was much enjoyed by all. At tlie afternoon session music by the choir was followed by the anniversary ad rircss by Sister Belle Crosby. Solos by Mabel Farwell, Carl Hogan and Gertie .steams added much to Ihe interest of tiie meeting. An address by Edward Evans of the State Exposition Com mittee was replete with good thoughts and suggestions, and gave all the as surance that it was good to be there ami enjoy it. Then followed a discus sion of the topic, “Are Farmers Send ing Their Sons to and Sustaining the Agricultural College as They Ought?” Everyone had a good word for the col lege and the good work it has done in late years. After having passed a most interesting and profitable day the goodly number of patrons and invited guests were dismissed to their several homes by a most excellent selection rendered by the choir. Harvest Moon Grange numbers over 100 members. Within the past two years they have purchased and furnished a hall and painted it outside and in. The small attendance during the past two years is doubtless due to the programs being arranged more to interest the sisters than the brothers, as seems to be the custom in many of the subordinate granges.

It is lo he noted, however, that he did not issue this challenge until Mr. Weston had trav elled several hundred miles westward from the borders of Connecticut. There are at the present time 73 va cancies at West Point, a condition of things which indicates a great change from the time not many years ago •when an appointment to West Point was an eagerly coveted prize and when there was always a long list of applicants waiting their turn for ad mission. Put the trouble in keeping the army supplied with its full quota of officers is nothing compared with tliai which the government finds in keeping the ranks full of enlist >d men nt the present rate of pay anti with the present prosperous condition of things when several good jobs are c hasing every able-bodied man What has become of that howl against football which was raised a f"w years ago? The game was never more popular than It is this year and not a voice is being raised in the land to denounce it. This Is not so much because the so-called new game is very much dilferent from the old, as It is tl.nt the outburst against football was hysterical and exaggerated in nature. Jn order to condemn football, people had to got into an artificial frame of nund and now tiny have relapsed into a normal and rational condition. There are no longer any tearful denunciations of the game for its savagery, though nobdy will claim that the reformed game is one for mollycoddles to engage in. The promoters of the Alaska-Yukon Pacific exposition to he held at Seattb 111 1909 are going cheerfully foreran wli.i the ir plans, wholly undismayed bj the complete financial failure of tin Jamestown venture. i„ view of rnel. Sam's unhappy experience with th. Jamestown exposition, however, tin Seattle people explain that they wll not ask for a direct government sub tidy. They simply ask Vncle Sam t. provide a big government exhibit am this no doubt lie will do. although th, request is not such a modest one as the Seattle people would make out. There is rather more hustle in the vicinity ,>r Seattle than is to be found in Virginia and no doubt this Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition, while lacking Jamestown's historical setting and significance, will Pushed through to quite a different ending than that in which the James town exposition finds itself Tile complete returns from Kentucky show that the Republicans not only elected nil the state officers but the leg islature is exceedingly close, with one branch at least surely Republican The other branch also would have had a Republican majority had the Republi cans put up candidates in certain dis tricts which events showed they could easily have carried. Even if the leg islature has a small Democratic mar gin it is certain that Governor Reek barn will not be able to realize his am bition of going to the senate. Already i rnouEh Democratic members have an nounced their intention of joining the Republicans in voting against him tc insure bis defeat. No doubt also Demo crats will assist in repealing the in famous Goebel law which alone has kepi the state from going Republican a, each election for the past eight vears Light is dawning in the old Blue Gras, state and it will be given such a hous! cleaning as it has long needed but ha never known before. The Sentinel Has no Use for the Voice of the People. The discussion of the opportunity that •will be afforded the people of Maine, under the Initative and Referendum, to pass at a special elec tion, and withuut previous prejudice or partisan by-play, upon the question of ■whether or not they desire to retain or abandon the prohibitory principle, has, at least, served one very useful pur-' pose. It has unmasked and laid bare the utter hypocrisy of a coterie of Democratic politicians who have here tofore contented, with loud vocifera tion, that their one desire was to give the sovereign people of Maine a chance to vote upon this important question at the polls. Now when an I opportunity will shortly be afforded the voters of Maine to so register their wishes at the polls under conditions that will appeal to ail fair-minded citizens, as eminentl> just, these same men and their news i paper organs, throw away all pretence, of desiring a fair vote upon the ques tion, and practically confess that their, one and only desire regarding this im portant matter, has been to advance their selfish interests by making it a football of partisan politics. The people at large do not look upon the question as one to be kicked about in tlie dust of partisan contention. They believe that if the people are to pas-- upon it at the polls they should! do so under fair conditions; that ii should he presented to them snleiy upon its own merits, and without pre vious mt* rfc-rence or prejudice. Not only has the Journal this assurance from large numbers of Republicans, who, before the passage of the Initia tive and Referendum resolve, were disposed to favor the re-submission of the constitutional amendment as the only way of securing a public expres sion of the popular will, but many Democrats haw- expressed the opinion that a resolve initiated by U.Oqti voters under the provisions of the Initiative and Referendum, submitting this question to an expression of the wishes of the sovereign people at a special election called for the purpose, is THE ONLY ABSOLUTELY FAIR WAY OF DEFINITELY DETERMIN ING THE PUBLIC WILL. 441 144* 4U. I VUillj'Uiftil UIC .lUill!' A 1 I I ll I I coterie of Democratic politicians who are now so frantically opposing such a fair vote upon this raomentus question had a great deal to say about "the will of the sovereign people," as the ulti mate source of ail power in a rep resentative form of government. In strident voices they demanded that the people lie given a chance .to vote’’ upon the prohibitory principle. Now howev. r that an opportunity is at hand for the people to so vote, under conditions that must appeal to all jus-t men as eminently fair, they drop ail pretence and show themselves in their true colors, viz. Ambitious partisans, interested in the great question of re taining or abandoning the prohibitory principle, not on account of its vital importance as a great moral question touching the welfare of thedonic an 1 •he peace ,,f society, but SOLELY FOR THE PARTISAN CAPITAL THEY HOPE TO MAKE OFT OF IT Fortunately ihe men who desire to make such use of the question of re taining or abandoning the prohibitory principle are comparatively few. The great majority of the voters of Maine desire that it should lie dealt with fairly and I 'PON ITS OWN MERITS. Trie litter hypocrisy of the Demo crat ie politicians who were so vocifer ous at tiie last State election in calling for the vote of the people upon this •tut 'fion. is very dearly demonstrated hy the Waterville Sentinel, the organ of the State Deinocratie ring, in its is sue of Nov la. Discus- ing the proposi tion of securing a fair vote of the people at' a special election, under the pro,visions of the Initiative and Referendum, upon the great ques tion retaining or abandoning i lie prohibitory principle, it says: ’’it would not make the slightest difference hou the people voted on it and the Journal knows it. “It no one voted at all, it would make no difference. A unanimous vote for the resolve or a unani mous vote against it would lie equally useless. Even the learned a’id able attorneys who instruct the Journal with regard to the legal phases of its editorials (and tvhoare now in active and successful prac tice) w ill not tell our neighbor that any vote upon the proposition which it proposes submitting to the people would have any more legal effect than lias the whistling of the wind. “If the whole elaborate scheme was put through in exactly the manner which the Journal indicates and was finally wound up on schedule time, it would be a case of the mountain laboring and not even a mouse coming forth. It would be absolutely barren of the smallest shadow of result.” In the last State election the cry of the Sentinel was “Give the people a chance to vote: let them express their will at the polls!" Now that an opportunity is afforded for the voters to do this very tiling un der eminently fair conditions, the Sentinel with its customary aerobatic agility promptly changes front! It now hastens to assure us that a full and fair expression of the popular will at the polls “would ncit make the slightest difference That ’’a unani nious vote for the resolve or a unani i mous vote against it would be- equally useless, and that it “would be abso lutely barren ot tlie smallest shadow of result.” Verily the Sentinel has undergone a marvelous change in its estimate of the power of the popular will, publicly ex pressed at the polls, since the last State election 1 Does any intelligent citizen believe for one moment that if the voters of Maine should go to the polls and unanimously vote that they were op posed to the resubmission of the pro hibitory amendment such a vote would be "useless,” and "absolutely barren of the smallest shadow of result”? We think not. "Does any thoughtful voter of Maine believe for one moment that if the peo ple should so vote upon this question, fairly submitted at a special election nailer the provisions of the Initiative ami Referendum, two-thirds of their chosen Representatives in the State Legislature would still insist upon re submitting lb" constitutional prohibi tory amendment in opposition to their v.ishr-s so publicly and emphatically pressed' .•.lost certainly not, and no one Is better aware of the fact than the Senti nel. The fact thnt after weeks of twisting, scuirming and evasion, during which it has dodged about from one posi tion to another it is now forced into the utterly absurd and ridicu lous position of asserting that the v ol of the sovereign voters of Maine, upon a great question of ui> li«; moment, e\en if "unanimously’' ex pressed at the polls, “would be abso l itelv barren of ilic smallest shadow of lesult,” shows how utterly destitute n is of anything resembling argument. It is evident that the Sentinel has really very “mall respect lor ihe voice of the people, whatever may have been its pretensions in the past! Xn one knows U tter than the S.-uti r.el, and the Democratic bosses behind it, that if the people at the polls should vote that they did not desire the re submission of piohihitory amendment to the constitution that would settle the whole question, and remove it from the arena of partisan politics for a generation to come. THIS IS PRECISELY WHAT THEY ARE AFRAID OF. tied. They desire to keep it alive in order that they MAY CONTINUE TO PI.AY POLITICS WITH IT! If the people should declare at. the polls that thiiiutiojt will be watch ed with gnat interest and the chances are that it will have to be given a vast amount of tinkering during the coming generation. The new state stands with Maine in making total prohibition a part of its constitutional law and it also -tails hi career with the referendum :t at, stalilis'.i -d fact. Politically tile la-v. 1:, I is n. .Mil i a small army of men greets Edward Pavson Weston. each assert ing that they walked with him when he made his famous walk from Portland to Chicago 40 years ago.

The Waterville Sentinel has been doing its best to kill the Initiative and Referendum by trying to make the people believe that they would enjoy no rights under it.
