John Smiths Luck.

It is generally known that in 1914
Captain John Smith, of Pocahontas
fame, made trip to what is now known
as Gardiner, Me-, but there was an in
cident that occurred during that visit
that is known by very few people. The
Cabassas were presided over by a
chief having headquarters at what is
now Gardiner, known as Cabassa, who
had daughter named Schools, famed
among her tribe for her beauty and
grace She was unfortunately smitten
at once with the gallant Captain, who
was, by the way, the first white man
to visit these parts, and who was re-
ceived with great cordiality. Smith
had with him a lieutenant named
Hunt, who was of rather quarrel
some disposition and prone to mutiny.
When the time came for the party Of
whites to depart, Hunts mutinous
spirit showed itself, and with small
party of followers he left Smith, going
in an opposite direction. His party
took with them as captives several of
the tribe of Cabassas.
The chief, considering the whites
one party, by great mistake followed
Capt. Smiths loyal band, which
camped that night about four miles
from tie present location of Gardiner,
in an easterly direction. Seebois,
thinking to warn the Captain. hurried
on before the party of enraged Indians.
but arrived too late, for as she arrived
at the camp the first volley of arrows
was delivered.
Thinking to save Smith, she fed to
him, threw her arms about his neck,
and In that position received an arrow
in the breast that caused instant
death. The chief was palsied at the
accident, and ordered hostilities to be
ceased This allowed Smith an oppor-
tunity to explain that it was the other
party that had perpetrated the kid
MAPPING.
After sorrowful return and the
burial of Schools near the Randolph
Church. the party of red men went in
search of Hunt. He was overtaken
near NOrridgewock, and his band ex-
terminated to a man. Capt Smith
had the martyred Schools to thank for
his life, for the arrow that reached her
heart was meant for him. The grave
of Schools is unmarked; In fact, its
exact location is unknown Lewiston

surface and see it covered with masses

dences the pitch of excitement at the
thought of which we may well stand

transfxed and enchanted by the scene.
On the sloping banks where we
stand strange forms of vegetable
growth appear; some of them have
roots, others have none; some grow
with their petals firmly adhered to the
stem, others are attached to larger
plants, and, like the mistletoe, draw
their sustenance, whatever this may
be, from the more thrifty fellow. We
see modified forms of these plants

The tariff bill reported by the
committee of Ways and Means, re-
duces the revenues of the govern
ment about 500, ooo,o 900 annually.
This reduction comes almost wholly
from the proposed removal of the
sugar duty and the placing of hides
on the free list, which latter has long
been insisted upon by the leather
dealers. The duties collected on
sugar last year were over SIS, 900, 900.
No other tariff has drawn so much
money from the people as the sugar
duty, since that article is one of uni
versal use. Our members of Con-
gress from this State are pleased
with the prospect Of the passage of
the tariff bill, as it has been report
ed. 1t is hoped there will be no dis
appointment; the people of the
State will await the final result with
much interest.

Supreme Court and the Bible.

The decision Of the Wisconsin
Supreme Court, virtually excluding
the Bible from the public schools
has been accepted by portion Of
the press in the State as a fair inter.
probation Of the Constitution. But a
great majority of the Wisconsin
newspapers have refrained from ex-
pressing opinions favorable or adj
verse to the decision of the court.
This may arise from loyal DISPOSE
ton to accept the rulings of the
court Of last resort in the State, be
they what they may. The religious
bodies Of different denominations
have in most cases where their views
have been given, expressed disap.
proval of the decision of the court.
Leaving the legal aspect Of the de-
cision out of the question, there are
theological teachings, if such they
may be called, which are new, or at
least, have heretofore not been
taught in the churches, Protestant or
Catholic. The court declares there
is much good moral instruction in
the Bible, but concludes that taken
as a whole, it is a sectarian book,
and therefore falls under the consti-
tutional prohibition in the public
schools. The reasoning of the court
to prove the charge that the Bible is
a seCtarian book, will be new to
many It is declared that the divin-
ity Of Christ and the punishment of
the wicked after death are doctrines
drawn from the Bible, and that these
show the book sectarian. If a belief
in Christ is seCtarian, then it logically
follows that Christ is a sectary. This
is not claimed or taught by any con-
siderable branch Of the Protestant or
Catholic church In the ordinary
acceptation Of the word ''sectarian,"
when applied to an Individual or
body Of people, it is understood to
mean narrow and exclusive, not
catholic in creed or liberal in senti-
ment.

Congress and the Tariff.

The adjustment of the tariff by
Congress to the satisfaction of the
people is more hopeful now than it
has before been perhaps for years.
The removal Of one of the chief bur-
dens the people have been compelled
to endure, the unreasonable sugar
duty, seems new in a fair way to be
corrected. At no previous session
of Congress has there been so much
outspoken sentiment against the pol
icy of continuing the sugar duty by
Republican members Of the House.
They are nearly unanimous for the
repeal About the only opposition
to the remC val Of the sugar duty now
comes from California. People in
that State cherish the idea that sugar
growing with suitable encourage
ment, will yet become a success in
that region. California began set
Element more than forty years ago
by people who were more than mere
adventures, and the possibilities of
the soil and climate have been tested
for all kinds of productions which
are found in temperate and tropical
countries, including the sugar cane,
The greed in this country to pro-
duce every article inquired for by
the people and leave nothing for
other countries to furnish, has been
persisted in quite too long. The
many millions of dollars that the
farmers and laboring classes have
been subjected to pay every year in
the shape of sugar tax to crafty
sugar experimenters and monopolists
should not longer be tolerated.
It is not pertinent to this subject
for any one to say that we abandon
tariff policy and take to tree trade
because we ask for the abandonment
of the sugar tariff. The tariff we
advocate is protection of home in

cific train near New Salem last summer,
has In custody Wm. E. Newberry, one of
the robbers who has succeeded in keeping
himself scarce since his partner was zap
tured out in the Bad Lands country by
Sheriff Hayes and posse. The inspector is
en- route to Fargo with his prisoner, where
he will be tried before the United States
court. G. E. Bailey, Newberry's partner,
is now serving a term in the Bismarck
penitentiary and he will doubtless sOOn
have company. Newberry was captured
last Saturday at Plains, Va. and is said to
come of good Virginia family. The story
in brief OF the train robbery is as fol-
lows:
June 9Th a Northern Pacific train was
stopped at New Salem by h%ighwaymen.
Two masked men climbed upon the engine
and compelled the engineer and fireman to
detach the engine from the train and then
pull out. Having taken the engine about
twenty rods, the engineer was ordered to
stop and the engineer and fireman were
taken back to the train, where they were
ordered to batter down the door of the ex-
press car. With the first attack on the car
the express clerk escaped from it and
saved the contents of the safes by hiding
them IN the car. Having entered the car,
the two robbers compelled the engineer.
the fireman and the postal clerk to cut
open the mail pouches and to carry the
first-clasS registered mail matter to the rob.
bers' horses. About 500 packages, con-
tanning $1,000 in cash, were thus secured.
Inspector Watkins succeeded in recover
ing q large portion of the spOils.
