Charge to the people. BY Rev. o. W. Folsom
| Hymn. Come Kingdom of Our God
Benediction. The last council vas almost
| unanimous in its voice to install Mr.. Stiles.
Even nov, it 10 claimed that Mr.. Srles is
| illegally installed. As there has been no parish
meeting since that of February 4,h, which
called the council of April 4th. This being
80, the last council must have been called
without the joint action of church and parish.
To strengthen this point, the second council
of April 4th adjourned use de. leaving no
chance to call this An adjourned meeting of
that council. Again. they claim that in the
church young members voted for the install
lation who had not beer legally made men,
bers of the church. Taken all in all it is the
most interesting and perpleIing question that
has come up in the Kennebec valley for
many years, and is attracting much attention
in church circles.
The situation at Caldwell & Libby's re-
mains much the same. The firm and repre-
sebtstives from the unions, i've from the
lasters and three from the boot and shoe
msker's union, had a meeting Thursday sf-
ternoon. but nothing toward settlement was
agreed upon. The unions insisted upon
the present workmen being discharged if
settlement was made and the rrm would not
hear of il, so that ended the discussion.
Thursday afternoon one of the present
employees of Caldwell Libby was
assaulted on Main street. when going
to his boarding house by one of the
locked out men. The assaulted man
was Herbert Luce. who was recently dis
charged from Augusta Jail. The firm are
looking about for another location and the
men adhere to their resolution never TO give
in on their point. Business men are feeling
the effects of the trouble and are anxious for
q settlement. All parties concerned ART los
ing money, and general feeling of blueuess
perme ates the air.
The second victim to that terrible dis
ease. dipbtheria. died Thursday night when
Freddie Brooks aged about seven years
passed away. He was a son of Luther Brooks
recently deceased, with the same disease,
The other members of the family are con-
valescent.
The commissioners in the case of Jasper
c. Jennings VS.. Estate of Robert Jack, gave
their decision Thursday, allowing the claim

A NAVAL PROBLEM.


The Board bureau officers are consider
ing the proposals received for building ar.
mored coast defence vessels and will report
to the Secretary of the Navy that the lowest
bid, 81 ga 90, makes it impossible to build
and comply with the act of Congress which
fixes the total cost of naval rams, batteries,
and other naval structures to be built under
authorization at 81, 900 600, leaving deficit
altogether of about Sl00,0 900 if the lowest
bid is accepted. The next move of the de-
partment if the report be accepted by Secre-
tary Tracy, will be to readvertise for propo-
sails ard if that fails, to secure a reduction
and then appeal to Congress for an increase
in the limit of the total cost.

THE NEW COUNTRY.
Fighting and BlOodshsd Already Begun,
Though the Pioneers a. a Whole Are
Well Behaved.

WELLINGTON, Nan, April 10.
A special to the Standard says; Pawnee
Bills colony, consisting of 500 wagons, left
Hunne~ell yesterday and is now water bound
at Salt Fork, Ark. Twenty miles south Of
that city in the terrt ~. while attempting 10
ford q swollen and turbulent stream, man
named Freither and his horses were drowned
in full view of the frightened colonists Who
were unable to render him assistance. The
whole colony is nov engaged in constructing
huge raft, upon which they hope 10 float
ov, 10 the other side with their teams and
outfits. This afternoon train of +s5 vehi
cles containing colonists bound fer Oklahoma
from Salt Lake Valley, Utah. and points in
Colorado. passed six mics west on their
southern journey. They reported that yes
terdsy evening while crossing the strip
fight took place between cattle men and
boomers over some fence cutting. Four
men were killed and the trouble is not
yet over.
From Arkansas City.
The change of date for the crossing of the
Cherokee strip line by the Oklahoma set
ters, from the 18th TO the 18th, made the
number of wagons in the first batch TO cross
the line smaller than it otherwise would have
been. Succeeding events show that the
change wsss wise one. Despite the solid
five miles of wagons which went into the
strip yesterday morning, the influx during
the rest of the day was enormous.
The Tidings from Caldwell
One thousand camp fires glmmered along
the old Reno stage trail last night from Csld.
well 10 Pond Creek. Today one thousand
canvas covered wagons were slowly moving
along the trail. The day was favorable.
1t seems ss if half the men on the trail
wear Grand Army badges, All stories TO
the contrary, it does not seem as if there can
be any trouble among the men driving over
The trail today. They are AS tue a body of
pioneers as ever went into new country.
Most of them are Kansas and Nebraska far
ners. Aid ough gun is in every wagon
,nd across every saddle bow. the owners are
men who will use them to keep peace, not to
make trouble.
