Buy a Ticket Please.

The Y. NJ. c. A. Star course of enter
tainments will be success this season in
every particular. This is now assured
beyond all doubt. The advertisement,
ofcourse, which appears in this paper
should be enough to guarantee this re-
suit. Six entertainments of such great
merit and so varied character cannot
fail to attract large numbers of patrons
if the public can be brought to realize
what really grand entertainments have
been arranged for and how reasonable
are the prices. Advertising accomplishes
this to great extent but thecommittee
have "cinched things" this season by in
teresting about 25 young ladies in this
work. These young ladies will endeavor
to call on everybody in town this week
to let them know of the good things
which are coming and to invite them to
purchase course tickets. Let's all buy
and be nice about it.

The announcement of the retirement of
Judge Wheeler of Brattleboro left a
vacancy in the circuit court and after
two meetings of the Vermont congress
sional delegation at Montpelierlast week
the delegation unanimously agreed upon
the appointment by the President of
Hon. ]. L, Martin of Brattleboro as cir
cult judge and Hon. Alexander Dunnett
of ST. Johnsbury as district attorney to
succeed Mr.. Martin. The salary of the
judge is $4,000 year and of the district
attorney $4,000. Numerous rumors had
appeared during the week of the posi-
bility of Judges Powers and Watson of
the supreme court, Congressman Foster,
Collector Darling, Frank Plumley and
W. c. B. Stickney of Bethel being candi-
dates for the judgeship, while the only
aspirant for the district attorney except
Mr.. Dunnett was O. NJ. Barber of Ben
nington.
Hon. Alexander Dunnett, comes of
good Scotch ancestry, his forbears being
descendants of the hardy Morse mariners
whose seat was Dunnett Head, the most
northern point of Scotland. 1t was from
this precipitous headland that his father,
Andrew Dunnett, came in 1912 to Gale
donia county, living first at Peacham
and later at West Newbury 1t was in
the former town thatthe subject of this
sketch was born, Nov. 20, 1852. He
was educated in the public schools and
the Randolph Normal School, studied law
at the Boston University and was adj
mitted to the Orange county bar in 1877.
During these years he had several terms
of teaching in the Vermont schools and a
portion of the time read law in the office
of N. L. Boyden of Randolph. He began
the practice of his profession at South
Ryegate and in 1883 he moved to St.
Iohnsbury where he has since resided.
For few years he was in partnership
with Albro F. Nichols, but when the
latter became county clerk in 1888 the
partnership was dissolved and Mr.. Dun
nett remained in business alone until
1896 when he took Leighton P Slack as
his partner and the law firm of Dunnett
& Slack has since that time enjoyed a
large practice.
Recognized as one of the leading
lawyers in the state he has also been
active in public affairs. He was for
several years town superintendent of the
schools of Ryegate and has served many
times as moderator of the town meeting
both while residing in Ryegate and in
st. Johnsbury, being. moderator here
at the present time. From 1886 to
1890 he was states attorney for Gale
donia county, and in 1900 was senator
from this county, being chairman Of the
general committee, member of the judi.
ciary committee and one of the recogniz-
ed leaders of the legislature that year
His name has frequently been mentioned
when a vacancy has arisen in the
supreme court of Vermont, and once
when he was urged to become the repub
lican candidate for governor he thrus
the honor aside by humorously saying
he would not take the nomination if i
was handed him on silver plate. He il

statistical information, but his logic is
unanswerable, his keen wit irresistible,
and he is regarded as one ofthe best vote
getters in the state.
Mr.. Dunnett is liberal in his social
affinities and religious beliefs. He has
been married three times, his present
wife being Mrs. Ella Chalmers, widow of
Rev. John R. Chalmers of East St. Johns
bury. In their hospitable home is
gathered choice collection of books,
with which Mr. Dunnett is very familiar,
while the visitor to his summer camp on
the shores of little pond in the neigh
boring town of Grotonis always sure to
find as cordial a welcome and an invi-
tation to join the host in a hunting or
fishing expedition, of both ofwhich sports
he is greatly fond.
The CALIFORNIAN heartily ycongratulates
Mr.. Dunnett upon this deserved recogni
tion Of party loyalty and equipment for
the office. 1t is far from being sinecure
and cases of great Importance are often
tried in this court. His predecessor was
assigned to the prosecution of leases out
side New England, and we are sure that
whatever duties come to Mr.. Dunnett in
his government position they will be dis
charged with the same fidelity and effici-
ency as when he was practicing in the
Vermont courts.

behring's Young Doctor Dies.

DR.. H. O. Richie, behring's
brilliant young doctor, died ear
ly Saturday morning, after a
short illness of typhoid fever.
The doctor had been ill for a
week or TWO before he allowed
himself to take to the bed and
soon after grew precarious'y i'll
His father, a prominent Indiana
physician, was called to his bed
side and his mother also arrived,
A Minot physician was called in
consultation. This is the first
death that has occurred it Deer
ing.
1t is believed that the doctor
contracted the disease from wat
er taken from the we'll at the
rear of the hotel. He did not
show any signs Of the fever until
he had gone bathing with some
friends in a slough close to town.
DR.. Richie is said to have been a
very fine young man and will be
greatly missed in that cOmmun-
ity. He leaves a young wife and
a host of friends.

Forty Acres Enough.

Rickert Johnson, who lives on
a forty acre farm three miles
from town, says he is getting
rich. The idea that a man has
to have whole township before
he car save any money is pre-
posterous to Mr.. Johnson. Two
years ago he says he started in
pretty slim, having no horses.
By saving and scratching he
managed to get a team and some
machinery, a COW or two and a
wagon. He now has a fine lot of
machinery. He makes a speci-
atty of raising garden truck. He
also has a couple of hundred nice
chickens which must net him
some money. He says 40 acres
in North Dakota is plenty for
any man.

SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE
IN DISAPPEARANCE
OF Farmer Bishop -tiad Quar-
relied with Wife and Stepson
Just Before He Left===B0dy
Could Have Been Thrown in
Deep Water Holes.

AS the weeks pass by, the mys-
terious disappearance Of Mr.
Bishop, who lived on the Murphy
farm three miles down the river,
puzzles our authorities. The In.
dependent was informed that
Mrs. Bishop told a neighbor
that just prior to his disappear
ance, he had been quarreling
with her, and that ne1 son Roy
interferred and had raised a
chair with which to strike his
stcp-father on the head.
Mrs. Bishop declares that she
placed her hands over her hus-
bands head to shield him, but
does not state whether the boy
struck the husband or not.
She states, however, that Bis
hop started for Minot, intending
to leave, and that she followed a
distance, demonstrating with
him trying to induce him to re-
main. She states that he would
not listen to her. Bishop wore
his old clothes and Mrs. Bishop
states that he did not bother to
take any OF his good clothes
with him, nor a cent OF money.
This looks a little suspicious
to the Independent, but never.
theless Mrs. Bishop may be tell.
ing the truth.
Neighbor women who went to
the Bishop farm for water a short
time later, states that Mrs. Bis
hop followed her to the slough
direc ting her where to dip fo1
water and where not to dip.
At a certain place, the bank
bears evidence OF having been
pushed over into the slough.

Fire This Afternoon.

The fire department. was called
out this afternoon, about 4:3O,
by an alarm of fire from the east
end of town. The cause of the
alarm was a fire in the Carl Will
precht house, just south of G. A.
Smythe's cottage. A kerosene
stove, said to have been bought
of an eastern NAIL ORDER HOUSE,
started leaking and exploded.
The whole kitchen was in
flames and only prompt use OF
the chemical engine saved the
house. The building was being
rebuilt at the time, and much OF
the work will have to be done
over. The kitchen is about a
wreck. -Ledgerwood BroadaXe,

Everything But Talk.

A new $500 cash register has
been installed by the Minot Drug
Co. The thing will do every
thing but talk, and will take the
place Of a bookkeeper. Each
clerk has a separate cash drawer,
and each drawer is provided with
q different ring. Each man
makes up his own cash at night,
which takes about five minutes.
The cash must correspond with
the amount registered by the ma
chine. The head clerk can tell
just how many times each drawer
has been opened during the day.
He can tell the exact amount
of money in the register at any
minute Of the day in an instant.
There's no better register made.
