A Sad Affection.

On Sunday morning last this COM
munity was distressed by hearing of the
death of Mrs. Abingdon, in the twenty
fourth year Of her age. Only few days
ago-on September 1-she gave birth to
81 son, and on the 18th inst. she was cold
in death. It transpires that after her
conhnemen. she was attacked with
some form of bowel complaint for which
no remedy could be found in medical
science. Mr. and Mrs. Arlington arrived
here from Missouri last spring, and had
since boarded at the residence of Robt.
White, in this town. Mr.. Arlington
was nephew of Frank L. Wyatt, and
had arranged to rent his place on Sal
mon river and engage in stock raising
later n,when Mrs. Abingdon was strong
enough to remove there. But man pro-
poses and God disposes. The fair young
wife, after less than year of married
life and happiness, has crossed the dark
river, leaving behind in sorrow the in
fant child and sorrowing husband to
mourn for the departed one.
The remains were conveyed to Lewis
ton Monday for transportation to her
Old home in Missouri. During her stay
here Mrs. Arlington had won many
friends by her joyous and cheerful dis.
position, and to the sorrowing husband
and friends the sympathy of the com
munity goes out in full measure.

shot through the head Tuesday night at
Z O'Clock in gambling affray. Hutton

Johnny Cox, a well-known hard case
from Lewiston, who only recently shot
man to death somewhere in the Pa
louise country. Mr.. Hutton said the ball
entered through the cheek and came
out at the back of the head. and it was
not known whether it would be fatal or
not. Cox was not arrested when he left.

The Annual Indian Scare.

The presence of number of Nez
Perce Indians on their annual hunting
expedition in the vicinage of the Little
Salmon Meadows has created the annu-
al scare in that neigh borhood, and so
great is the excitement and apprehen-
sion of an Indian outbreak that special
messengers were sent to Fort Boise for
troops, and company of the 4th caval-
ry has been dispatched to the scene.
Our neghbors in that country are ma
king great outcry with small reason.
We, of Camas Prairie, live adjoining the
reservation on which these Indians re-
side. They are all personally known to
our people as peacable. orderly and law
abiding Indians, who are now, as they
have ever been, the firm friends of the
white race, and from whom no outbreak
need be feared. The renegades of Chief
Joseph's band are not among them, and
even if they were in force to incite an
outbreak, they would receive small aid
and less comfort from these reservation
Indians.
Knowing these Indians as we do, we
incline to believe that the reports of
their lawlessness are very much exag-
gerated. In all probability, when the
bottom facts are sifted down, it will be
found that some scalawag white man
has been selling whisky to the Indians,
and that under the influence of LIQUOR
some Indian has been indulging in an
tics and gestures which the vivid imagi-
nations of the defenseless and isolated
settlers interpreted into declaration of
war. A drunken Indian is as irrational
and pugnacious, and as apt to be as big
a fool as white man in a like condi-
ton, and his demonstrations should be
treated with discretion. If he is crazed
TO the point of running amuck," he
should, in self Defense, be promptly
shot down, but ordinarily good club
bing oyer the head with healthy pick
handle will sober him up as quick as
anything. These lapses however are in
dviduai ofenaes. and are punishable in
the organized Indian courts on the re-
servation. The apprehensions of tribal
outbreak are groundless. Such reports
should be discouraged, as detrimental
to the best interests of the country.
The fear of hostile Indians delays settle-
ment by Tightening away immigrants.

Thursday night he discussed the alleged
conflict between science and religion
and said that while science had done
much to promote the material progress
of humanity, it was powerless to dimin-
ish or alleviate its mental suterings
caused by sin, sorrow and death, and
that in the presence of these things the
wounded heart and stricken mind found
consolation and relief, not in the phi
losophies of human science, but in the
comforting doctrines of divinity. 1t was
grand discourse sparkling with bril-
liant gems of thought, and we were so
fortunate as &c t lar every word of it.

Senator Beck Dead.

James B. Beck, Z. S. Senator, from
Lexington, Ky, dropped dead in the
Baltimore & Patomac depot, at Wash
ington, u. c., last Saturday afternoon
Senator Beck was well known to many
Of our Superior readers. having for
years been identified with our city as
an extensive real estate holder. He
visited us few months ago and those
who saw him then little thought he
would so soon be taken from us. Rev.
L. ID. Talmage in his sermon last Sun
day paid this tribute to the dead sena
tor, and his sentiments will receive
hearty endorsement from all who
knew the man:
And yesterday my beloved friend
James b. Beck, senator of the United
States, dropped dead in the Washing
ton depot. One of the most magniti-
cent souls ever knew. At times in
eloquence Demosthenes. The foe of
all wrong, the terror of all political
corruption and the friend OF God.
How l enjoyed his inequalities in
Kentucky when he took me and show
ed me all the classic spots around
beautiful Lexington, and talked OF
things pertaining to our beloved
country. oh" Mr. Beck said,

ton for life long democrat to pub

at all, brother SwinefOrd. The same
remark applies with equal force to
Mr.. Wheelock, of the Pioneer Press.
That paper poses as an independent
political sheet, bat when man sub
scribcs for it it is generally because he
wants the leading Republican paper OF
the Northwest We Ike to see man
sail his craft under his own colors if he
has any, whether Democratic Re2ub-
lean or even prohibition. Then we
want to see i'll that same man indie

nations in his party, ana to stand up
and fight such nominations II his party
persists in making them. This Is just
what MI Wheel0clz was DONG last
week in the mayorality fight but It is
not an lnder9nient paper because the
paper as such, is straight out Republic
can III every other particular. It's ed
itor has simply manhood enough to op-
pose bad man for high position al
though that man IS found within his

pendence. Bat for a man 10 pretend
to be politically independent in

cuSsion is simply absurd. There is no
neutral ground fer him to stand on,
