HANCOCK, Mich, Sept. 18AThe entire
$4,000 secured by the trainrobbers on
the Mineral Range road, on the way to
pay off employees of the Calumet 6 Hecla
mine, has been recovered. After secur /.

aware of the contents. Officers learned
of the transaction, took special train
and overhauled it some distance from

One official learned yesterday afternoon
that small sIoop-rigged boat was seen

At the Congregational Church.

The sermon at the Congregational church
Sunday morning was one of Rev. w. c..
Curtis ablest efforts, and furnished food
for thought to his congregation. His theme
was temptation, and in his expressive Ian
guage he handled the subject in very in
teresting manner. The trials to which we
are subjected are means of discipline to
purify us and make us better. God, in his
wisdom and love. applies the knife only to
diseased parts. He never mains or destroys.
There are no 'irresistable temptations"
Each may be overcome, and leave the suf.
ferer purer, better maD. The divine OBJ.

In eastern paper saws:

An eastern paper says: "Before
Lieutenant Wilson begins to smash
the robber tariff he should initiate the
example of the Chinese. A China
man buys coffin before his death and
keeps it in his house as most valu-
ale article of Furniture. The most
cherished present a son can make to
his father is handsome coffin. So
Wilson should move for an appropria-
tion for suitable Democratic coffin,
and have it ready. The people will
bury the corpse, head down. Ohio
will begin to dig the grave before the
ground freezes"

A Truly Pioneer Woman.
PrineYilla News.


Mrs. Eliza Warren accompanied by her
son and his wife, visited her sister, Mrs
VIM. Wigle, and her daughter, Mrs. Joe
Crooks, this week. Mrs. Warren came to
Crook county with her husband, now de-
ceased, IN 1872, and resided here about
three years. Her present home is near
Brownsville
1t was our good pleasure to meet and
converse with Mrs Warren. The old
lady IS remarkably Intellectual, and an
excellent conversationalist. Her history
is no doubt familiar to nearly all people
In Oregon. She is now 81 years of age.
At the age of 10 years she was member
OF the mission school at Walla Walla,
and was an eye witness to the massacre
that took place there on November 81,
l847. In this Indian butchery the great
DR.. Whitman fell, and his brave, heroic
wife was also victim of the tomahawk.
Mrs. Warren with fifty-one others were
taken prisoners, and were in captivity
three weeks. They were ransomed by
Hudson Bay company officers, prominent
among whom was Captain Ogden. After
their rescue they were taken down the
Columbia river in small open boats in
midwinter, and their sufferings were nee
essarily terrible.
AT that time the s-bject of these re-
marks was Miss Spauld1ng. Her mother
and Mrs. Whitman were the first white
women to tread upon the soil of Oregon.
These truly pioneer women crossed the
plains in 1886. Mrs. Warren Is master of
the native tongue of the Nez Perce tribe
of Indians. She was born at Lapwai,
Idaho, not far from the present town of
and she is now the oldest liv-
ing white child born on this side of the
Rocky mountains.

A Sad Drowning.

Evening Telegram: A young man named
McKechnie. a tutor of two little daughters
of Daniel Magoon, of Oswego, olacka-
mas county, took walk with his pupils
Sunday afternoon. One of the children
ventured out on a plank IN the canal
which runs from the Tualatin river into
Sucker lake, and fell In. Mr. McKechnie
plunged into the water after his wa d,
bringing her back TO the surface and get
ting hold of the pla k from which she
had fallen, and at the same time warning
the other girl not to approach the hank
too closely. The young hero had scarcely
admonIshed the child when he lost his
grip on the plank and he and the first
child sank and were drowned. Later In
the day both bodies were recovered. Nc
Kechnle was a well-educated young man
and the son of good English family.

iect is to reform, and to remedy. This is
the end of all punishment that comes from
the deity, present or future, and in carry
ing out this plan God shows his unbounded
love. The divine influence may not be per-
ceived; but 1t is at work in all creatures.
Taking a smile from the sculptor, who
while at work on his rude marble, trans
fers the inspiration of genius which passes
over him, to the inanimate state, men, he
said, can carve and shape their souls after the
divine model which is constantly present.
The peroration was clothed in the choicest
language, and there were none present who
could not make the application. Mr.. Cur
tis' audience paid the closest attention to
the discourse, and literally fed upon his
words

THE PARTIES AND THE PUBLIC
DOMAIN.

The Republican party came into
power pledged to two great lines of
policy, besides its supreme principle of
no more slave neutrality-suspicious.
and free farms, says the Inter Ocean.
The Morrill, tariff Of 1861 is called
the war tariff, and 40 doubt it was
largely framed with an eye to the
greatest possible revenue, but entirely
independent of military necessity it
was bound to be protective tariff.
The Republican party came into power
pledged to protection, and would have
redeemed that pledge, war or no war.
The other pledge was no less definite
and distinctive. Indeed it was, if
possible, more distinctive, for the
Democracy was clearly opposed to the
homestead policy. President Buchanan
had already vetoed the bill. One of
the first bills signed by Abraham Lin
coin was the repassed homestead bill.
To q large extent the war served an
injunction on the practical enforce
ment of the homestead act. The en-
terprise which would have pushed
westward and taken up prairie farm
lands on both sides of the Missouri
river all the way from Kansas TO
North Dakota was diverted south
ward, and to very different purpose.
The old prophecy was reversed and
the implements Of husbandry beaten
into weapons of war. To save the
country took precedence of its cultiva-
tlon. But the war once oyer the pio-
neers made up for lost time. The
New York San of the 4th inst. de-
votes four columns to the final dis
tribution of the public domain, giving
much interesting information but fail
ing to so much as allude to the home
stead act and the Republican policy as
regards the domain of the nation. Be-
ing Democratic organ it naturally
tries to hide the shame of its own
party and the glory of the Republi-
can. But such eclipse of the San can
not deprive the Republican party of
its just dues.
When the war closed and the home
stead act began to have free course the
cultivated area of the country was
about S1,OOO,0O0 acres. The home
stead act had, of course, added good
deal to this area during those four
years after its passage and before the
war closed, but taking 1865 as one
base line of calculation and the pres
ent time, including the Cherokee out
let, as the other, we find that the area
of cultivation has been increased 155
per cent, and stands now at about
2l0,000,000 acres The homestead
act is vlrtuallysat an end. A few
struggling farms will yet be given
away by Uncle Sam, but the supply Is
very nearly exhausted. That chapter
in American history way now be writ
ten and the book sealed.
It-does not follow that all the pub
lie domain destined to cultivation has
now been taken up. There are vast
stretches of arid lands susceptible of
irrigation at comparatively light ex-
pense, and it is now in order to make
= business of pushing agriculture along
that line. The homestead act is not
adapted to the arid region, and if the
Democratic party wants to show that
It has some genuine statesmanship let
t take hold of the problem of arid
land development and solve it.
