THE LOCAL MARKET.
BrattlebOrO Prices Current.

Increased Activity ON Account OF Christi
mas---stiT Price for Fresh Eggs---Ds-
cline In Fresh Fish Expected.
The approach of the Christmas season
has caused increased activity In the local
market the past week. The tendency of
prices Is upward, but in the retail market
there have been actual advances on but two
commodities in the subjoined list Thepoor-
er grade of butter is two cents higher, and
fresh eggs have gone up three cents. Fresh
egSs are now S3 cents a dozen, which is
the stiffest price that has been known In
Brattleboro for long time. The price
has probably reached the highest notch,
however, and decline may be looked for
by the end of the month. The price for
the corresponding week last year was at
least three cents less than now. The con-
sumption of eggs is increasing constantly,
and for number of years the supply Of
fresh eggs has been entirely inadequate
and cold storage eggs have been imported.
HOLSTERS at wholesale are a cent pound
higher The retail price is unchanged. A
lower price in fresh fish is expected next
week.

MANY RECALLS FOR THE STAR.

Marked Evidence OF Approval When
Mildred Holland Appeared in "The
Power Behind the ThreneD IN SYRIA
cuse.
The following is taken from the SYRIA
cuse, N. Y, Post-Standard of Dec. IL,
which contained a column review of the
attraction which will come to the Audito-
rum in Brattleboro, Jan. 8:
An unusual and significant incident
marked the production of "The Power
Behind the Throne" by Miss Mildred Hol-
land and her company at the Wieting
opera house last evening. After the fall
of the final curtain the majority of the au-
dience, instead of rushing with customary
haste out of the theatre, remained and
called Miss Holland twice to the footlights.
Such evidence Of approval of a players
work aud a dramatic performance is so
rarely given ia this city that 1t must be &C.
cepted as convincing proof of the satisfac.
ton and pleasure afforded by the perform
ance and of the strong and favorable i'm
preston which 1t made upon viewing it.
Local audiences are not prone to such
expressions of their eDj yment of theatri
cal offerings and this remarkable demon
stration, coupled with the applause and re-
calls that punctuated the presentation of
this stirring aud serious drama must have
been very gratifying to all concerned In the
produc' ion.

ONE OF THE OLDEST VOTERS.

John DuntOn, who Has Voted at Eve
cry PrssIdential Election in 30 Years,
Was Born in TOwnshend - 1903.
The Boston Globe of a recent date had
an extended sketch of John Dunton
of Lyndonville, one Of the Oldest voters of
New England, who cast his first vote
in Townshend in 1924 for John Quincy
Adams, and who has voted regularly at
each presidential election since then. At
the last election he walked a mile in order
to vote for Mckinley and Roosevelt. Mr..
Dunton was born in Townshend Sept. 3,
1903. He worked on the farm with his
father until he was 81, and then went to
New York, where he was employed three
or four years on q canal. he returned to
Townshend, and April IL, 1882, married
Miss Wealthy Dyer. The same year he
took his bride to Lyndonville, which has
been his home ever since. Only two of
his seven children are now living. Mr..
Dunton's father was a native of Stur-
bridge, Mass, and served nearly four years
in the Revolutionary war.
Mr.. Dunton tells story concerning the
contingent of young men who left Town
shend to serve in the war of 1872 He re-
members how his father, the Revolution
airy veteran, in giving advice to the re-
cruits, said: "Face 'em, face 'em; don't
turn your backs"
One of the young soldiers, Jesse Walk
er, who stammered somewhat, replied: 81
won't r-r-run; Ill l-l-lick 'em; I'll g g-give
'em h-h.hell."

Mr.. Carpenter is former resident of
Brattleboro. His brother, K. P. Carpen-
ter, brought the business of the Carpenter
Organ company here from Worcester. Ar
thur e Carpenter, who came here from
the West, was employed for time as clerk
in the office of the Carpenter Organ COM
pany. He went from here to Boston seven
or eight years ago and has been engaged in
the Insurance business in Boston since
then.
The Boston Globe says of the case: The
arrest of Carpenter caused the greatest in
terest in life insurance circles here, and the
case will also excite the attention of insur-
ance people in the entire country. The
charge was preferred at the instance of
rival agent, and Insurance Commissioner
Cutting requested Mr.. Carpenter to call on
him, the interview resulting In the instiga-
ton of criminal proceedings For years
the life insurance companies have been
coping with the evil of rebating, and the
subject has probably been more discussed
than any other phase of the business, GER
tainly as it effects the agents, Not only
do most of the companies themselves pro-
hibit its practice, but many of them require
a written guarantee from each of their
agency staff that it shall not be INDUCED
in, and accordingly any violation of the
rule is severely dealt with.

The United States consul at Auckland,
New Zealand, calls attention to some veg
etables that are grown in the antipodes
which, he believes, might wisely be intro
dueed into this country. One of these is
a species of cabbage, which has the virtue
of furnishing in spite of long drouths. L.
also reslsts the attack of the aphis, which
in hot, dry weather is apt to riddle other
varieties of cabbage. 1t grows and repro
duces itself, he asserts, with great profu-
sion, and bed of 1t will keep family iu
vegetables through the summer and au-
tumn. Another vegetable recently intro
duced into Australia from South Africa is
said to be the African cucumber. 1t is
about six inches long, of bright orange
color, and is covered with spines. While It
is used for ornamental purposes, 1t is soft
and juicy, and has flavor similar to that
of melon.

A wide-Awake and Handsome Paper


The New York Tribune has pro

newspaper which is attracting the
attention of intelligent readers far and
wide. Within the past 10 or Is years
pictures have gained a large place
among the contents of many newspa-

employs pictures in a sound and SEN
sible (although most entertaining
way, as legitimate illustrations of the

vivid idea of many things which
could not be described in words.

toons, many of which are capital hits
on politics and politicians. We doubt
If there is a better or handsomer
news and family paper in the United
States than the New York Tri-Weekly
tribune. and it is of interest to re-
mark that that newspaper has in
creased eight times in its circulation
within the past year. The Tribune
has consistent record as the particu-

tries, settlement of the public lands
and protection to American business
interests, and is always an interest
ing and readable publication No
printed matter of any kind can be
taken into the family, for general
reading, of any higher value than The
Tribune. 1t is an inspiration to the
young, a reliance to the mature. a
source of entertainment and instruc-
tlon to all. 1t keeps pace with the
times. and in the second half CEN
fury of its existence is as young and
fresh in spirit as it was back in the
early forties. (See Prospectus in
another column.)
The regular subscription price of
the Tri-Weekly Tribune is $3.50. In
connection with The Phoenix 1t will
be sent for $1.00 a year; the two pa

whatever Is, Is Best.

l know as my life grows older
And mine eyes have clearer sight,
That under each rank wrong, somewhere
There lies the root of Right;
That each sorrow has its purpose,
BY the sorrowing oft unguessed,
But as sure as the sun brings morning,
Whatever is, is best.
l know that each sinful action,
AS sure as the night brings shade,
Is somewhere, some time punished,
Though the hour be long delayed.
l know that the soul is aided
Sometimes by the hearts unrest;
And to grow means often to suffer;
But whatever is, is best,
know there are no errors
In the great eternal plan,
And all things work together
For the final good of man.
And know when my soul speeds onward
In its grand eternal quest
shall say, as look back earthward,
Whatever is, is best.

MURDER AT AL5URe.

Victim Found on Railroad Track with

cold-blooded murder was commit
ted Wednesday morning between 8
and 10 o'cloch on the Central Vermont
railroad track a short distance from
Alburg. The engineer of train saw
body on the track in time to stop,
so that the body was not mutilated.
The body was brought to the railroad
station and an alarm given. The dead
mans head was covered with blood,
and a bullet hole was found at the
base of the brain.
A suspicious character was arrest
ed at the railroad station at Lacolle,
p. Q. rhe prisoner was brought to
Rouse's Point and placed in jail 1t
was found that two men registered
as John Julien and Frank Coolridge
Tuesday night at a hotel in Rouses
Point. Papers found on the dead
man indicated that he was Julien and
the supposed murderer is thought to
be Coolridge. The two men were
seen Wednesday morning by the keep
er of the drawbridge. They entered
a hardware store in Rouses Point,
where they bought a revolver. Julien
presented a $50 bill in payment, but
as the storekeeper could not change
the bill he paid in small bills. Only
few cents were found in Julien's
pockets. The revolver was in Cool
ridges possession, with one chamber
empty. 1t is thought that he shot his
companion for the purpose of rob-
berry, and that he was waiting at La
cole to take a train back to Montreal
when he was arrested.

RUTLAND RAILROAD CASE.
Construction Company Alleged to
Have Dlsobeyed Orders Of Court
Hearing Will be Held in 6rattIe-
boro Dec. o.

WIZ bN AiNia ~
boro Dec. %.
Papers were served Wednesday on
the officials of the Champlain Con
struction company, in accordance
with an order issued by Judge Hoyt
II. Wheeler, commanding the Con
struction company to appear before
him at, Brattleboro, Dec. 28, to show
cause why it should not be held guilty
of contempt in not obeying the order
of Judge Taft in regard to certain pay
ments to O'Brien & Sheehan.
The Construction company upon
taking possession of the Rutland Cana
dian railroad and eiecting the con.
tractors, OBrien & Sheehan, and TAX
ing all the property under the protec-
ton of an injunction granted by Judge
Taft, applied for an oredr to compel
O'Brien & Sheehan to turn over to the
company their pay roll and time
sheets.
The contractors resisted the grant
ing of the order, unless coupled with
the condition that the entire pay roll
be paid. Judge Taft issued the order
on that condition. The Construction
company paid a part but several
thousands were never paid. On the
petition of the contractors, the above
order is issued.
