Taft and His Appointments.

/ rather expect to see the president
continue to display independence.
Some of us hear that he does not like
the way senators and representatives
are "hogging' the census employees.
The new census law, you know, pro-
vides that the census supervisors shall
be appointed by the president and con-
firmed by the senate. Well, the sena-
tors and representatives have made
haste to file with the director of the
census, Mr.. Durand, their reeommen-
dations for supervisors. Undoubted-
ly some of the senators have planned
to get political benefits out of the
business. Now, / understand the
president intends to sean all these
closely. and unless
he is certain that the men recon-
are capable he will refuse to
appoint them. The republicans of
the South are making an awful "hol-
Ter - because he intends to appoint
many democratic supervisors down
there. But he is right. He feels that
the best material in the South is in
the democratic party, and he wants
the census to be taken with as much
care in the Southern states as in the
North. Yes, he has a whole lot of
people guessing.-A Senator to Boston

Man Who Brutally Assaulted Aged
Farmer Fined $50

| Barney Magee of Dummerston. who when
crazed with drink on May brutally as.
saulted Francis H. Morse, 20, a respected
| farmer on Dummerston hill, was brought
into municipal court in irons by Constable
s. S. Washer of Gulford Wednesday
morning and pleaded guilty before Judge
f. W. Gibson to making the assault
charged Barney had lost those wild char
acteristics manifested in May and when
taken into custody by Deputy Sheriff f. L..
Wellman and Constable Washer Tuesday
afternoon expressed a willingness to ac-
company the officers without any trouble.
Judge Gibson imposed fine of $50 and
costs of 5000 with the alternative sentence
of liz days at hard labor at Newfane Ma
gee was of the opinion that he could raise
the amount assessed by the court and
asked that he be sent to Jail until he could
make arrangements to meet the financial
obligation imposed. The Guilford officers
have been on the lookout for Barney since
May 5 when he disappeared after assault
ing Mr.. Morse Magee has been in this
vicinity since he disappeared after receiv-
ing money due him from X. L. Frost. He
is known to have been in the immediate
vicinity of Mr.. Morses farm several times
during the summer, but each time that
search was made for him he disappeared.
He was found Tuesday afternoon at the
home of Charles Wells in Guilford where
he has been at work for a short time Ma
gee claims that Mr. Wells owes him 500
and saws that he intends to raise the diff
ference and nay his fine. Magee has been
seen in Brookline during the summer. He
was taken to Newfane Wednesday morning.

Profit in Apple CROWN @.

A man who thinks of going into the
business of raising fruit should not
be deferred by a fear that production
may soon overtake demand Terri
tory in which apples are grown profit
ably for the market is limited The
older states appear not to be able to
grow apples proftably. Possibly they
do not center. their energies on the
business sufficiently. Possibly they
grow apples as side line, neglect the
trees and so fail to succeed. Even
New York state growers have been
complaining that they do not succeed
as do the growers of the Pacific North
west. Strange that growers so close
to the best market should not make a
success of their business.
Apple growers of Washington are
making a success. This can be fully
demonstrated to anybody interested in
the subject. The demand for Wash
ington apples is greater every year.
too. and it will increase. for the Amer
lean taste for apples is hardly half
satisfied as vet. The dealers realize
that they have not developed the mar
kets as they can be developed when
there are more apples. A good many
people who like apples are unable to
buy them because apples are not on
the market. Besides, the taste for ap-
Piles is growing. The man who would
grow apples need have no fear that
by the time his trees are at the pro-
ducing age there will be so many
apples in the country that he cannot
make proft.-Tacoma Ledger.

Upon complaint of G.. d. Whitman OF
Fishers Island n. Y, to John Calvin
chairman of the board of selectmen, that a
show of immoral character was being al
lowed to give exhibitions on the midway
at the Valley fair, Mr.. Calvin accompanied
by Ernest j. Waterman, chairman of the
board of bailiffs, visited the fair grounds
last Friday morning and consulted with
Secretary o. +. Benson and Superintendent
w. A. Shumway Mr.. Calvin asked that
the show given by the Oriental dancers be
closed. Mr. Shumway in company with
Messrs. Calvin and Waterman visited the
show in question and Mr.. Shumway ex-
planned to the manager of the show that
a complaint had been made that the exhi
biton of dancing was too suggestive and
that 1t would have to stop. The manager
slgnlfied his willingness to close and did so
but later was inclined to the belief that he
had an action against the fair management
lnasmuch as he was not refunded any part
of the amount he had paid for ground rem
tai. However, he took no action though
he and the woman in company with him in
the enterprise insisted that if they were
not permitted to give exhibitions Others
with shows of a similar nature should not
be allowed to do so. They threatened to
make a complaint against the Arnold sis
ters who were giving a vaudeville and
dancing show and the Anolds rather than
have any trouble which would necesstate
their remaining over a day in town and
missing their next stand closed their show.
In his written complaint to the selectmen
Mr.. Whitman stated that the Oriental dan
GERS were appearing on the Valley fair
grounds for the second time and stated
emphatically that shows of such nature
were not desirable features of the fair.

DooLITTLE-RICE WEDDING.
Man Who Has Been Under Two Guard
ianships Takes Woman of His Choice.

| 1t has just been made public that Gers
hon X. Rice and Miss Minnie r.. Doolittle
were married Aug. at New London,
Conn, by Justice Reuben Lord. Since that
time Mr.. and Mrs. Rice have been quietly
living together at / Western avenue and
only the very nearest relatives and closest
friends were acquainted with the facts.
considerable interest is attached to the
marriage owing to the fact that Mr.. Rice,
who is II years old and possessed of con-
siderable property, has been under guard
lanship since the last of March, previous
10 which time he took out marriage
license IN Brattleboro to marry Miss Doc
lttie, but his son. Albert r. Rice, at once
brought suit against his father charging
him with being incapable of conducting his
own affairs and asking the probate court
to appoint guardian for him The trial
was hotly contested, there being a large
number OF witnesses examined on both
sides, and lasted for large part of three
days, at the, close of which Judge A. b.
Schwenk ordered guardian appointed
over Mr.. Rice and the Bratteboro Trust
company assumed the responsibility. Mr..
Rice appealed to the county court and the
case was to have been tried at the Sen.
tember term, Just passed, but for some rea-
son was put over.
Mr.. Rice, who is almost totally deaf,
claims that his son Albert misrepresented
on previous occasion when Mr.. Rice
sought to settle up the estate of his wife
by former marriage, and because of this
misrepresentation Mr.. Rice submitted at
that time to having a guardianship appoint
ed over him and Albert r. Rice and Frank
Il Barber were at that time appointed as
guardians. As soon, however, as Mr. Rice
become fully acquainted with the true con-
dltlon of affairs and found that he was
not able to conduct his own business ex-
actly as he wished he applied to have the
removed, which was done De-
,ember 26, 1908. The guardians then as
serted that Mr.. Rice was capable of taking
;are of himself and of his property and
was no longer in need of guardian. Moth
ng more was thought or heard of the mat
er until the application was made for a
marriage license on March 10 last Mr..
Rice has been firm in his determination
o make Miss Doolittle his wife and they

heir many friends on his accomplishments
