Four MILE, l. T., July l6, 1881.
EDITOR TELLER:-A few words
from our part, it is very dull here now
for money and news.
The warm weather is helping some
crops, while others it is not. The flax
crop outlook is very promising, it is in
full bloom at present, and if no early
frosts come it will be good. Other
crops do not look SO promising the
cold weather and drouth kept them
very backward, still there is a pros
pect of fair crops barring frost.
A few emigrants come in among us,
but the larger portion of the emigra-
ton go north near the railroad. But
that does not discourage us for our
domestic population is rapidly increas-
ing, by home production for within
the past five months, and within cir
Gle of five miles from Four Mile creek
there has been born five pair of
twins, all living, fat, and healthy,
mothers all well. Now Mr. Editor,
Palousc precinct claims the banner
without dispute. Other precincts
must make a letter showing or the
rag is ours. Our ladies do not oppose
competition, nor compilation of the
next census, where is the next pre-
cinct can make better showing in
native born population in the same
period of time.
There is camp meeting going on
at Pine creek under the auspices OF
the Christian denomination, also one
in Par disc valley by the Methodist
Episcopal denomination, both largely
attended, whether the appearance Of
the comet has anything to do in the
camp meeting competition or not, wht
knows. But if the different CAM

AFTER A PREACHER AGENTS
SCALP.

CHICAGO, July l9.-The Times
special from Sante Fe says: Alarm
ing reports reach US here for the Ma
vajoe reservation. Sometime ago Ga
len Eastman, minister Of the Presby-
terian church, had by a series of i'll
timed and i'll advised acts SO excited
the Navajoes that they threatened his
life and demanded new agent. The
interior department to quiet them, sus.
pended Eastman and turned the aeen-
cy over to Capt. Bennett, of the 9th
cavalry, who possessed much influence
with the savages. Capt. Benefits ad.
ministration soon settled the restless
Indians, and during the past year,
with the exception Of occasionally get
ting drunk and stealing some stock,
they have given no trouble. A few
days ago Rev. Galen Eastman again
appeared on the scene with orders
from the interior department to re-
lieve Capt. Bennett and take charge
of the agency. He immediately gave
offence to the Naval joes and they COM
menced to hold Il pow-wow and show
their dissatisfaction. The command
ing officer at Fort Winga'e reports to
district headquarters that the Nava-
joes are restless, are assembling armed
and mounted and demand the imme-
date recall of Eastman and want Capt.
Bennett back as their agent, who they
say will not steal and will treat them
justly.
There are not sufficient troops in
Mexico to keep them quiet should they
be inclined to revolt. Officers at Win
gate believes they will kill Eastman
unless the government speedily re-
moves him. 1t is reported that his
first move was an endeavor to make
the Indians go to church and stop u.s.
ing tobacco They number at least
600O bucks and are the only tribe
that are increasing. There seems lit.
tie doubt among well informed peo-
pie that should Eastman remain he
will share Mesker's fate.

WASHINGTON, July l9.--ln dressing
the presidents wound last night the
discharge tube dropped into the depth
of 81 inches without the least pres
sure, showing the wound is open for
that distance. The process of suppo-
nation, says DIR. Bliss,is going Oh sat
isfactorily.
The physicians bulletin says: Our
experience with the draining tube con-
vinces us that the ball which wounded
the president did enter the abdomins
cavity and that it pierced the liver.
We believe that it passed through to
that organ and lodged in the interior
of the abdomen. To-day there has
been but slight increase of the fav-
orable conditions. During last night
the president rested well and his pulse
is now at 90. There will be slight
change in diet something else being
substituted for potatoes and meal
which have been found unsatisfactory.

A MAN who is very rich now was
very poor when he was boy, When
asked how he got his riches, he re-
piled: my father taught me never
to play until my work was finished
and never to spend my money until l
had earned it. If l had but half an
hours work to do in day, l must do
that the first thing, and in half an hour
After this was done / was allowed to
play. / early formed the habit of do
ing everything in its time, and it soon
become perfectly easy to do SO. 1t is
to this habit that now owe my pros
per;ty."

BRIDGING THE SPoKANR-Superln-
tendent Mcclellan. Of the Northern
Pacific, will complete the temporary
bridge across the river, nine miles east
Of this place, sometime this week. The
structure will be somewhat airy sixty
feet from the surface Of the water to
the rail, and seventy-i7e feet from the
bed of the river. the span will be one
hundred and eighty feet. Superinten-
dent Mcclellan and his men are hav-
ing a very hard fight with the swift cur
rent of the river at this point, but the
modern railway man is irresistible, and
nature must succumb. The perma
nent bridge will be built about one
hundred yards above the temporary
structure. -Sp0kdne Chronicle.

RATION NALE OF THE CRIME.

1t Is SAID tnat the assassin Is IunatlC.
His lunacy has not been of such an eX-
treme charac ,er as to prevent his EN-

spoil brokers' Ills own rather ration

sanity is not questioned that he was
engaged in the service oe stalwartism

tial canvass Did the stalwart friend
and a, socate of the candidates for heir
apparent knowingly employ crazy
person to forwerd his political fortunesl
The supposi'ion is inadmssible. The
more acceptable view is that the man
they employed was not more afflicted
with mental disease than themselveshor
with disease of kind very different
from their own. But it is not materi-
al whether the assassin vas sane or
insane The deed was the deed Of
sanity. The motive was the motive
of mind plainly capable of perceiving
the relation of cause and consequence
IT was political necessity in the view
of the assasassn. 1t was necessary to
the political fortunes Of such spoils
politicians as Conkling and his follow
ing that Garfield should be removed
from the presidency, and the unprinci-
pied spokesman, Arthur, be installed in
that Office. Was the perception of this
political necessity symptoms of

good while badly diseased. Who or
what brought to the mind of the AS
sassin the perception of this 'political
necessityW 1t did not come of itself
IL was not crazy man who could hope
to profit by the change from Garfield
