We publish below two articles from the
Vermillion Republican, one the honest ex-

From the Termillion

1871. 1873.
But what of Judge
Bennett! He is man
without any interest in
Dakota. save a political
one, He is put up at
the head of republican
per here as simply
Hon. G. G. Bennett,
of --'' nowhere.
He is not from Yank-
ton, or Clay. or any
where else, but from
Washington, Iowa. He
came to fill out the I'M
expired term Of Judge
Kidder, and before he
had been here two years
began to lay his wires
for the republican nom-
ination to congress.
Befo re leaving this
place the writer Of this
article was importuned
to support him for dele
gate. This was in the
winter of 1867. Pre-.
vious to this he had
used all the influence at
his ommand with the
legislature to have the
judicial district
changed to the Hills,
and he succeeded. His
object in this was well
known then, and better
known now. He is
openly charged by good
republicans in the Hills
that he used his Judge
ship there to further his
political ambition: that
finally he secured the
delegation from Ldw-
n county by fraud
and chicanery. Over
and beyond this. it is
plain to everybody that

Repu6lic0n Ap,ik 10.
1917.
The first judicial
district having been
transferred from the
S ou t heastern to the
southwestern corner Of
the territory, Justice
Bennett goes with it.
Judge Bennett left
for his new field of Ia,
! Dor on Tuesday. and we
cannot let the occasion
pass without expressing
our high appreciation
OF the man, and of his
judicial record.
Judge Bennett took
the field here under
great disadvantages,
He had to meet Judge
Kidder at every turn,
but no met the cmer-
gency with that pecu-
liar dignity, modest as
surance aud convincing
ability, SO easy to the
man, and bore COMPARE
sons with credit to him
self, and to the great
satisfaction of his gath
ering friends and admi-
rers. In short, he speed
lily won for himself the
hearty respect and full
confidence of our peo-
pie, and the faith that
the bench Of the first
district has been most
cxcellently and n
ably filled.
His record here is
one of unimpeachablc
honesty, integrity and
ability. If he has erred.
it has been on the side
of conscience and the
majesty of the law. On
the bench he has known
neither friend nor foe.
Prominently has he
been q safe jndse-one
above suspicion as to
his motives. and i'm
plicitly confded in by
both bar and people.
He has won for himself
the profound respect of
the public, the ont
dence of the legal pro-
fession. and q high and
honorable character as
an able, impartial and
honorable jurist.
Few men could be
fitted to assume the Pc
culiarly difficult duties
which will be imposed
upon him in his new
field of labor than
Judge Bennett, and we
are in no wise doubtful
of his tact and capacity
to fulfill them to the en-
tire satisfaction, and
much more, Of the peo-
pie of the Hills.
As an honest, up 1
judge, as q thor
ough scholar and gen.
as . citizen,
ncighbor and friend, We
regret his departure and
that of his most amia-
BILE and accomplished
wife. They take with
them our best wishes
for their prosperity and
happines 8,

meeting with some happy remarks in which
he enunciated pure republicanism and gave
it straight from the shoulder. Judge Bennett
followed with an address full of ~eloquence.
His capacity as a speaker has already given
him a territorial reputation, but on this occa-
sion he outdid all previous efforts which have
come under our notice. There is nothing in
his talk to the people to which either friend
or foe could take exception. He is courte-
Gus, gentlemanly, high toned and free from
all unpleasant personal illusions. His points
are made with excellent effect and his logic
fastens conviction. 1t was by snch a speech
that he fastened the conviction of his Finlay
audience, and our democratic friends may
rest assured that there is no appeal from
the decision reached. Secretary Hand made
one of his popular speeches and it
is probable that democrats will taunt
him with Haunting the bloody shirt
before his hearers. If a scathing review Of
past democratic doings constitutes the afore.
said bloody shirt, then Hand is guilty Of the
charge. But as his utterances struck re-
sponsive chords in the hearts Of his audi
ence, it will not be profitable for denoesacy
to pick him up on this. They are search
ing for republican votes this yssr. The

J James W. Rogers, residing at what is
known as the Rogers neighbOrhoOd, died
on the morning Of Friday the 30th ult., Of
disease contracted from the care Of horse
affected with equinia, or in more common
language, glsnders. The stiack was viru-
lent and dissolution rapid. He called at
the Office of DR.. King on Friday the Esd
uli. when the disease had begun to show
itsslf in a swollen or lnfAmed state OF the
lower limbs. He was visited by the Doc
tor on the Monday following. and the dis
ease was apparent upon the whole legs first
in red spots or blotehes, and then other
spots of dark color or blaekish, running
with serus-like matter, eyinelng the ad-
vance Of dissolution. This appearance of
the lower limbs became general over the
body and upper limbs, with much inereas-
ed size Of the pustules. He died on
Friday morning Both, in sitting position
upon the lounge. while his flesh had under
gone general decay. The horse was so
badly diseased as to be too offensive to
withstand.
Though cases of this kind are raTe-nOt
coming within the range of some of our
physicians, they are well authenticated by
the authorities and the diagnosis so clearly
laid down, that there is no question about
the fact, in the minds of physicians of this
case having such origin.
Mr.. Rogers age was :. He was an es-
teemed citizen, and leaves a sister who
kept house for him, and another sister and
a brother, as we learn, in the West. His
sad case is not without instruction. Hu-

The supply OF ice in town is giving out,
and during the past month three or four
car loads Of good ice have been brought
from StoneborO, Pa, over the Lake Shore
road and distributed among consumers in
town.
Potatoes, all about US, have shown signs
of blight for the past three or four weeks.
owing perhaps to the dry weather. "Small
potatoes and few in a hill' has a vivid
meaning to Lake County growers this fall.
The effect Of the blight, however, is not
seen ia the price which remains steady at
35 to 40 cents.
During the match game between the
Cowles House and the Stockwell House
Tuesday afternoon, Mr.. A. Z. Jones Of the
Stoekwell House nine, and drsughtsman
Tor the Williams Brothers, broke his right
arm about an inch and half above the ell
Dow while attempting to throw ball.
The cause OF the accident was owing in
part to strap which Mr.. Jones had placed
around his arm at the very place where it
was broken. His arm was lame from over
practice before the game was begun, and
in ord5r to deaden the pain and aching he
bound it with q strap which prevented the
free play Of the muscles.

The late Hon. D. c. Allen, was model

''People have strange notions in regard to
editing a paper. Many think the editor
finds it difficult to obtain matter with
which to fill his columns, but for my part
the chief difficulty / found when in the
newspaper business, was to decide what to
leave out from an always Over-abundant
supply Of material"

past few weeks the grain traffic had become
so great that it largely exceeded the roads
They had not looked for any
such increase of business and had not made
for it. He looked forward to
better times for railroads and believed that
with the coming advance in rates the roads
might look forward to an improved state
of things. The local freight traffic Of the
Lake Shore Road is also much heavier this
