Doolittle were married Aug. 7 at New London, by Justice Reuben Lord. Since that time Mr. and Mrs. Rice have been quietly living together at 1 Western avenue and only the very nearest relatives and closest friends were acquainted with the facts.

Considerable interest is attached to the marriage owing to the fact that Mr. Rice, who is 71 years old and possessed of considerable property, has been under guardianship since the last of March, previous to which time he took out a marriage hcense in Brattleboro to marry Miss Doo-httle, but his son, Albert R. Rice, at once brougnt suit against his father charging him with being incapable of conducting his OWn aftuirs anrl aahinrr tl.

Midway Show Closed. Upon 'complaint of C. D. Whitman of Fishers Island, N. to John Clalvin, chairman of the board of selectmen, that a show of immoral character was being allowed to give exhibitions on the midway at the Valley fair, Mr.

Galvin accompanied by Ernest J. Waterman, chairman of the board of bailiffs, visited the fair grounds last Friday morning and consulted with Secretary O. F. Benson and Superintendent W. A.

Shumway. Mr. Galvin asked that the show given by the Oriental dancers be closed. Mr. Shumway in company with Messrs.

Galvin and Waterman visited the show in question and Mr. Shumway explained to the manager of the show" that a complaint had been made that the exhibition of dancing was too suggestive and that it would have to stop. The manager signified his willingness to close and did so but later was inclined to the belief that lie had an action against the fair management inasmuch as he was not refunded any part of the amount he had paid for ground rental. However, he took no action though he and the woman in company with him in the enterprise insisted, that if they were not permitted to give exhibitions others with shows of a similar nature should not be allowed to do so. They threatened to make a complaint against the Arnold sisters who were giving a vaudeville and dancing show and the Arnolds rather than have any trouble which would necessitate their remaining over a day in town and missing their next stand closed their show.

In his written complaint to the selectmen Mr. Whitman stated that the Oriental dan Committments Made Simply on State WANTED-White ash lumber cut to order if you have any that you are going to cut this ment of Two Doctors Are IUegal Decision Upholds Contention Recent coming winter 1 would like to hear from you, also 1 have a saw, grist, and cider mill for sale, J.

The Wright brothers have added to their laurel.

Sunday, with Germany's crown prince as a passenger, Orville at Potsdam, Germany, rose 16U0 feet, much the highest flight ever made. The crown prince kept urging him up higher. At New York Monday Wilbur made a sensational flight from Governor's island to Grant's tomb and back, covering over 20 miles in 33 minutes. It was viewed by millions of people, and business was practically suspended meanwhile. Mr.

Wright was prevented from attempting a longer flight by an accident to his motor. He announced that henceforth he and his brother would attend to the exploitation of their aeroplane and would not make any more show flights. He said a more perfect motor is essential to complete success. lam. William II.

Boston. 38tf Profit in Apple Growing. A man who thinks of going into the business of raising fruit should not be deterred by a fear that production may soon overtake demand. Territory in which apples are grown profitably for the market is limited. The older states appear not to be able to grow apples profitably.

Possibly they do not center their energies on the business sufficiently. Possibly they grow apples as a side line, neglect the trees and so fail to succeed. Even New York state growers have been complaining that they do not succeed as do the growers of the Pacific Northwest. Strange that growers so close to the best market should not make a success of their business. Apple growers of Washington are making a success.

This can be fully demonstrated to anybody interested in the subject. The "demand for Washington apples is greater every year, too, and it will increase, for the American taste for apples is hardly half satisfied as yet. The dealers realize that they have not developed the markets as they can be developed when there are more apples. A good many people who like apples are unable to buy them because apples are not on the market. Besides, the taste for apples is growing.

The man who would grow apples need have no fear that the time his trees are at the producing age there will be so many apples in the country that he cannot make a profit. Tacoma Ledger.

Hie last state the right to collect from anv estate in which a patient is interested for the purpose of providing for maintenance of the patient while under the Under this provision proceedings were instituted bv the state to collect, monev for the support of Mrs. Lydia Anna Allen of Johnson, who was committed on Oct. 17, 1906. The husband of Mrs.

Allen, who is well-to-do ob.iectetl on the ground that his wife had not been committed legally, inasmuch that the woman had no notice of her committment and was deprived of the right or Altenlirought a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in an attempt to have his wife returned to her home. The petition was made a test case and finally reached the supreme court. The court in its decision held that the certificate of committment in the Allen case was void, as the law did not give a person supposed to be insane a right to be heard. The law provided that two doctors by signing, a committment stating that a person is insane could send the patient to an asy- 'UThere is a provision, however, that the probate court shall grant a hearing to determine if property owned by the person can be used, to defray his or her expenses while in the state CaThe court ordered Mrs. Allen to be placed in the care of the superintendent of the insane for 30 days from Tuesday until further legal proceedings can be' taken.

If the state takes no action during this period Mrs. Allen is to be discharged. The decision leaves a. wav open for similar proceedings by the relatives of more than 700 persons confined in the state asylum at Waterbury and in the Brattleboro Retreat. The supreme court's decision is based upon sees.

37-6, 3717 and 3871. The court holds that all persons are entitled to be notified, and have a right to a hearing if desired. The court holds that doctors' certificates are simply prima facie evidence. While the law is invalid, that court holds that it is effective in certain directions, and the decision does not mean a wholesale delivery of patients from the asylums. All persons will be considered legally committed at Waterbury, it is believed, until habeas corpus 'proceedings are brought and their release demanded The decision does not affect those persons who were committed to the asylum after the passage of the new law providing for hearings, by the last legislature, and will have no effect on future committments.

Man Who Brutally Assaulted Aged Farmer Fined $50. Barney Magee of Dummerston, who when crazed with drink on May 4 brutally assaulted Francis H. Morse, 70, a respected farmer on Dummerston hill, was brought into municipal court in irons by Constable S. S. Washer of Guijford Wednesday morning and pleaded guilty before Judge E.

W. Gibson to making the assault charged. Barney had lost those wild characteristics manifested in May and when taken into custody by Deputy Sheriff F. L. Wellman and Constable Washer Tuesday afternoon expressed a willingness to accompany the officers without any trouble.

Judge Gibson imposed a fine of $50 and costs of $9.09 with the alternative sentence of 177 days at hard labor at Newfane. Magee was of the opinion that he could raise the amount assessed by the court and asked that he be sent to jail until he could make arrangements to meet the financial obligation imposed. The Guilford officers have been on the lookout for Barney since May 5 when he disappeared after assaulting Mr. Morse. Magee has been in this vicinity since he disappeared after receiving money due him from R.

L. Frost. He is known to been in the immediate vicinity of Mr. Morse's farm several times during the summer, but each time-that a search was made for him he disappeared. He was found Tuesday afternoon at the home of Charles Wells in Guilford where he has been at work for a short time.

Magee claims that Mr. Wells owes him $20 and says that he intends to raise the difference and pay his fine. Magee has been seen in Brookline during the summer. He was taken to Newfane Wednesday morning. Bop's TRYMORE Leading Cigar Manufactured by J.
