SCHERR TICKET.
PRESTON COUNTY
LOYAL AND TRUE
Will Roll Up the Usual Big Ma
iority for the Republic
can Ticket.


TERRA ALTA, Sept. IL. (special)
This section of the great buckwhea
and Republican county of Preston ha,
been interestedly watching the pro.
ceedings had before the Republican
National Committee in New York
and since the announcement of the
decision OF the sub-committe, vindi.
eating the regular Republican state
convention and standing by the reg.
ular state committee headed by Hon
Sam v. Matthews, there has been a
note Of general rejoicing gone up ali
over the county. There was little
doubt in the minds of Preston Repub-
licans but that the national committee
would declare the convention presld-
ed over by Hon. Joseph H. Gaines the
regular convention OF the party, but
some Of us know the kind OF people
We have to deal with as represented
by the. bolting faction of the party,
and we feel generally relieved that
E. NJ. Grant and Arnold C. Scherr
have been duly sat down upon by the
higher tribunal of the party.
The opposition to Mr.. swisher in
Preston county is the very same op-
position that was made to the candi-
dacy of Hon. William N. o. Dawson
for the governorsnIp, except that
there isn't so much OF 1t this year.
Good Republicans who voted against
Dawson four years ago have been
ashamed ever since his tax laws have
gotten into working order, and the
opposition to the reform laws now is
confined only to those who have been
obliged to pay an. amount of taxes
commensurate with their possessions
and who, before the laws were in
augurated, "dodged' out of payment
very nicely and easily indeed. Aside
from the few who are too mean to
want to pay to the state taxes on
property they own and take pride in,
the opposition to the regular Repub-
lican ticket this year is limited to
,,nan pann,1tan,,. -. -.

HINSDALE.
Town Shocked by Tragic Death Of F. E.
Cutler.

Last Saturday morning gloom was cast
over this community by the sad news Of
the tragic and untimely death at the
dam site of f. E. Cutler. Between one
and two O'Clock on that morning while
running his engine out onto the dam
pushing ahead load of concrete, sudden
ly and without apparent cause the little
locomotive left the track on the trestle,
crashed through the railing and dashed to
the river below Mr.. Cutler struck upon
an uncompleted section of the dam and
received internal injuries which soon
caused his death. His fireman. M. X.
Martindale, was instantly killed.
Mr.. Cutler was born in this town 81
years ago and spent the greater part of
his life here working at various occupa-
tions. About five years ago he was mar
ried to Miss Emma Barrett of this town.
Soon after being married he was employed
as fireman on the Passumpsic division of
the Boston and Maine railroad. Later he
was employed at the Eagle iron foundry.
When business became dull at this plant
he obtained employment at the dam site.
where by his diligence he worked himself
up to the position of engineer All his
companions at the dam as well as in
town have nothing but praise for "Gene"
as he was familiarly known. The sympa-
thy of the entire village is extended to his
family.
He is survived by wife and daughter
two years old Mrs. Jennie Cutler, his
mother, Mrs. Wilbur Knapp of Leverett,
Mass, sister, and Leon, brother.
A largely attended funeral was held at
his home Tuesday at one o'clock, Rev. M.
S. Hartwell officiating. Burial was in
Pine Grove cemetery.

Baumgardt Lectures Fully Up to
Expectations.

As was expected the three illustrated
lectures given by Prof B. R.. Baumgardt
were very interesting and each evening
drew an audience which taxed the. ca
pacity of the opera house. 1t would be a
difficult task to choose the best lecture
of the series, but it is safe to say that in
all probability An Evening With the Stars
proved the most entertaining and instruc-
tive. To everybody present it was an
invaluable lesson in astronomy. Preced-
ing and following this lecture beautiful
views of Norway and California respec-
lively were shown. At the close a fine
view of John D. Hooker was displayed,
which brought forth enthusiastic ap..
plause. Following this rising vote of
thanks was given to Mr.. Hooker to whom,
as has been before stated Hinsdale is in
debted for these enjoyable lectures: All
the views shown were taken by Professor
Baumgardt himself and colored by his
wife. The professor will soon lecture lin

of esteem. Mr.. Fisher first came to this
town as pastor of the Universalist church
10 years ago soon after completing his col
