"There have been few things
given at the Bijou Theatre
that pleased 80 much as
"My Friend from India" last
night" so says the New York
Herald. with such a COM
pany as presented it, there is
not anything to be wanting the
entire evening in the way of
talent to present it, or a more
clever comedy was never seen
at this popular house. 1t is
one of the brightest, and with
all, one of the most enjoyable
comedies it has been our good
pleasure to see. 1t is of most
extremely farcical style, better
than"Charley's Aunt, "or others
of the same type, and one of
those that start the laugh at
the beginning and continue it
to the end. The cast is an ex-
ceptionally good one, and fine
ly balanced. 1t will doubtless
have long run"
The mere fact that H. A. Du-
Souchet's effervescent comedy
successfully Friend from India" J"
! is to be presented here at the
Opera House by the Myron B.

ment of time and money. The

Peter johnson is Right,

If the people of this county
look at the matter in the right
light Peter Johnson will be re-
elected to the office of register
of deeds. There is not man
in the county no matter what
his politics are, more deserving
than Peter Johnson. He was
a poor boy once, land is still a
young man) who worked on
the section at Abererombie,
therefore. he deserves every
laboring mans vote in the
county. His being the choice
of the people two years ago for
the office has cut no figure with
him, he is the same Pete John
son as when he was driving
spikes on the section. A vote
for him is rightly and justly
placed. Fairmont News.
Ifthe people vote right in this
matter they will reward Mr..
Johnson for having made a
superb officer, one of the very
best possible and show to him
that completncy and faithful
ness deserves to be rewarded,
deserves to be endorsed by a
second term. He saved more
in fees his first year than his
salary amounted to and he is
now at his post of duty almost
night and day and may make

Even his political opponents
admit that Attorney Dewitt, of
Wahpeton, is proving himself
one of the most eloquent stump
speakers in the state. He is
every inch fighter, and hard
hitter on the stump, being a
master of clean-cut sarcasm;
as one party puts it, "his ton
que is as sharp as razor"
And lots of good he is doing
throughout the county. His

Trying 20 say. sh,nburn.

The hearing of Max Sehoenbern or Shin
burn, the famous bank burglar, at Platts-
burg, N. Y, has been continued until
Wednesday, Oct. II. SchOenbern's law
yers hope by that time to secure witnesses
from New York and other places TO testify
that the prisoner is not the man who es-
capped from states prison at Concord, n.
H., in 1855. Schoenbern's attorneys main
tain that at the time the escape from Con-
cord prison was made, there was no law on
the statute books of the state of New
Hampshire for punishment Of prisoner
who broke out of jail or states prison; al
so that the law then provided that when a
convict broke out Of prison or jail, unless
he was apprehended before the term he
was serving would have expired he could
not be re-arrested and made to serve out
the unexpired balance of his sentence.
His fellow convlcts at Clinton prison, DAN
nemora, have raised S4150 to help Schoen-
bern in his legal fight, while some of his
friends in New York have sent him $50,
and there is prospect that more money
will be forthcoming TO help him.

New mampshhs's Population.

The increase in the population of New
Hampshire, according to the latest census,
Is 35,05S, bringing the number of inhabit-
ants up to All, 5sS. The census of 1890
found population of 376,530, which was
an increase Of 8.51 per cent during the
preceding 10 years; but the per cent of in
crease between 1890 and 1900 amounts to
OBJ, and exceeds that of any enumeration
since 1850. As was to be expected, the
cities all show marked increases in popu-
latlon, but that the gain has been we'll dis
tributed is evident from the fact that only
two counties in the state (Belknap and
CarrolD have a smaller number Of inhab-
itants now than they had 10 years ago.

The senatOrshIp.
From the Barre Times

tAC DaIIG j
In the twisting turmoil of the last week
of the great senatorial contest the friends
of the various candidates find themselves
forgetful of the original issue in their
efforts to win votes. This is not as it
should be. The last as well as the first
question TO be settled should be as TO the
ability and attainments OF the candidates.
1t has been a long and a strenuous con-
test and the candidates, especially the two
leaders, have been seen and read of all
men. They have been held up before the
public in every possible light, and every
public act, and many with which the pub
lie had no business, have been scrutinized
and criticised without limit.
The one man who has come through
this storm Of comment and criticism with
increased honor and respect is ex. Govern
or William P. Dillingham; of Waterbury.
The eyes of envy and the tongues OF
malice have found that his is a record that
stands investigation of the closest sort and
comes forth all the brighter the more clear
ly 1t is understood. The canvass has de-
veloped anew the fact that Mr.. Dillingham;
is the one Vermonter at the present time
best fitted to take the place of the late
Senator Morrill, with the greatest possible
kOOu W INC olalc VI NSIuOnL anu Tue
Nation as a whole.
His high mental endowments, his ire
proachable character, his age and expert
ence, his powers of oratory and debate,
and his sturdy manhood make him the
ideal and the logical candidate.
The high position that Vermont has
heretofore maintained in the sisterhood of
states is more largely due to her representa-
ton in Congress than TO any other reason,
and we owe it to our state, as we'll as to ali
the states in the Union, that we do not al
low the personal ambitions of any man or
men to prevent the election TO the United
States Senate of the man who is the most
likely to maintain the prestige we have so
long held in that body.
No man should be allowed to elect him
self to the United States Senate. Such an
attempt is being made In this contest by
one of the opponents of Mr.. Dillingham;.
Shall 1t succeed? 1t is with the members
of the General Assembly to decide. The
Times, at least, is not fearful of the result.
Vermont this year has a strong, an able, a
conservative, and a conscientious legisla.
ture. We do not believe 1t will swap corn
for chat or substance for shadow. The
Times has made a careful, a painstaking
and an impartial canvass of the situation,
and 1t confidently expects and predicts the
election of ex- Gov. Dillingham; to succeed
Mr.. Morrill, in the Senate of the United
States

wearing or display Of the feathers of birds
or parts of birds, by any person, whether
the birds are taken in this state or not,

where suit is pending damages for per-
sonal injuries sustained the court may, up
on request of the defendant, order an ex-
animation of the injured person at any
time.
A joint assembly convened this after
noon at 230 to hear the report of the joint

cording to law, and the following were
chosen by the joint assembly: For Som
erset, Herbert Tudor and Milton Knapp;
for Brunswick, Albert w. Smith, H. B.
Blodgett and j. NJ. Cronin.
