law to prohibit fishing in Whites pond
for period of at least five years In
former years this pond has been an ex-

Tho White Cans.

The "White Cap movement is assum
ing too large proportions to be ignored
These night riders are serving theil
deaths head notices and lashing theil
victims in the South, and in southern
Indiana and Illinois; they have actually
organized and begun operations in north
ern Ohio and Illinois, in region wher,
all the traditions are in favor of law ant
order, where justice is presumably al
minstered by legal methods and where
an outbreak of this kind is wholly alien
to the spirit of the place.
The peculiar characteristic of the law
lessncss of the "White Caps" is that they
claim to be acting in the interest Of good
government but they are outside of the
legal authorities and wholly at variance
with law and order. Governor Foraker
says the bands of White Caps have been
dispersed in Ohio.

TO lay Il county tax for the two years en-
suing, The tax for the two years pasl
was sis, 300 for each year but for the
coming two years the Commissioners will
report their estimates at about Sli 800
each. a part of the excess for the past
year was raised to pay the County indcbt-
edncss, that happily, will net have to be
provided for by the legislature of 1889,
The business of the county is run very
economically. The Commissioners pay
Is but $500 per day from which they pay
their hotel expenses which brings their
compensation to Il low figure. In most
other counties Commissioners have $500
small enough in Somerset where Com
missioners are obliged to travel with their
teams and pay Mt hotels the full amount
of their per diem pay. County Commits
missioner Chase, when he comes on trip
to the Court House from his home and re-
turning gets net for his time ABOVE cX-

The News Received with Cheer in
Parliament

In the House of Commons Mr.. Gosch-
en- read, amid cheers, a telegram receiv-
ed by the West African Telegraph Co.
from st. Thomas reporting the arrival of
Stanley and Emin, at Aruwhemi. The
government received no direct official
news. confirming the report, The gov
eminent has no news from Gen. Gieen-
fell showing it was his intention to un-
dertake march against Handaub. In
the Stanley Falls adyices it is stated that
Stanley wrote that Emin had vast
story of ivory and oxen and abundance
of food. Stanley intended to leave
Bonyala at the end of August.

Suakino Taken.

The British troops under Gen. TrenfelI
attacked Suakim the 10Th after complete
preparations and carried the position de
f4ndrd by DsInnn Din1a's army. Tn,
loss of life does not appear to have been
great. Some four thousand troops fought
under the British commander. OF these
80 far as reported, only -four were killed
and two wounded. On the one side,
therefore, it was comparatively blood
less struggle. How many of the oppos-
tie party were engaged we have no means
of knowing; but there can be no doubt
that the Dervishcs had the advantage OF
numbers On their side the loss wa
heavier According to first accounts tn,
rebels were said to have lost one thou
sand men killed. Later accounts reduce
these figures considerably-thel latest put
ting the entire loss at four hundred
From the small number of the killed
and wounded one is tempted to the con
clusion that the victory was won without
much actual lighting. The rebels seem
to have become dcmoraliled at the out
set, the great body of them seeking safe
ty in flight.

ALumber Operation.

Advantages of the extension of the
Somerset Railroad to kmbdcn are already
being felt in many ways, and rs the road
creeps up the Kennebee further they viii
greatly multiply. As one of the business
operations that has been called into exist
ence by these extra railroad facilities we
mention the lumber operations of Clcvc-
land 4 Brown in Concord about 3 miles
from Bingham village, on the West side
of the Kennebcc. K. W. Brown Of this
village has associated himself with Frank
Cleveland of Concord, and they now have
ten oxen and five horses with some TWEEN
ty men at work cutting the lumber, draw
ing it to their steam saw mill, manufac-
turing 1t into boards and dimensions,
drawing it to the station at Embdcn.
This finn cut and work up hard and soft
wood The product of the mill has thus
far been shipped to Lewiston and Auburn
but they expect to ship the hard woods
to Bath. This business would naturally
find lis headquarters for supplies here, a.
but as the product is rallied by US llv,
miles to the westward, Skowhegan is not
in the way of getting any benefit from II.
This and other similar operations would
naturally find base Of supplies at th's
village, but with rail direct to Lewiston
or Watervi.le they will find this base Al
one of those ptlccs, to their own disad
vantage in Il small d .gree and to Skow-
hegan's disadvantage IN much greater
measure.
While these Industries are sprngag up
before their lines of supplies become cs
tabis he'd, is the iimc foi Skowhcgan t.
move if they would get their share OF
this increasing business which is destined
to become an important factor in the
kennebec valley trade, Two years, a
least, have already been lost How many
more shall we lose;
