intelligent people recognize that they are

no precautions against it.
Consumption approaches its victim step

These conditions get worse and worse. The

The State Grange Chooses Officers.

In speaking, yesterday Of the graft
flying review of Grange work in Maine,
we expressed the opinion that there
was every prospect the excellent ad :
vancement would continue. AT thar
time, of course, we had no means for esti-
mating results of the forthcoming cleo
ton; nor WAS it necessary in order to
reach the conclusion we did; the Maine
Grange has an abundance of excellent
material from which to select leaders
and best of all eyinces both a de-
termination and an ability to choose
therefrom. Assuredly the names. CT
those from whom the respective off,
sider's mind, at least, convey the I'M
preston that there was no likelihood
that the order would be poorly Off
cered the coming year.
The gentleman. o. Gardner. ESQ.,. of
Rockland, who has been chosen worthy
master, is one who has long been
identified with the Grange gand with
the farming interests of the State. He
is the proprietor of large dairy inter-
ests, is vice president of the Maine
Jersey Cattle Association and has
served efficiently on the executive COM
mittee Of the State Grange. There
seems to be every reason to expect him
to be an excellent executive officer.
The successors of Hon. j. A. Roberts,
overseer, and Hon. w. W. Stetson as
lecturer will, we feel sure, prove
worthy of the. honor conferred. Hon.
F. S. Adams, the newly elected over
seer, is well known, having served with
distinction in the Legislature, where
efficient champion of the agricultural
interests Mr.. Cook will as lecturer
prove very efficient officer if we may
judge from his career. He is a pleas
ing and effective speaker, an educated
cultured gentleman who is deeply III
terested in the work of the order. The
other officers chosen are likewise as
surance that the grange now as in the
past affords field for the effort and
ambition of the best men and women
who go to make up the communities of

The Situation in indian Territory.

All rurnors about removal of the In
dians in Indian Territory to Mexico to
the contrary. there is little likelihood
of any such step on their part. So
General Armstrong of the Dawes COM
mission says and he ought to know.
He does not. judging from his recent
statements. feel equally sure of the
exact course to be adopted in Indian
Territory. AS has been before men,
toned the refusal of the ChickasaWs
to ratify the agreement proposed by
the Dawes commission, and which
their representatives had already
agreed to, as had the Choctaws and as
would the Semnoles, necessitates be-
ginning all over again so far as the
two tribes. Chickasaws and Choctaws
are concerned. Whether a similar
course will be pursued next time re-
mains to be seen.
The commission has had no question
about being able to deal with the
Seminoles. General Armstrong says
they have been sensible from the start
and are a very worthy tribe of In
dians They have not intermarried
with the whites and number only
about 25O0 The Cherokees have been
laggards for the reason the political
machinery built up by the scheming
whites and half breeds got away from
the machinists, as sometimes happens
in more civilized communities. For
years they have sent full bloods, whom
they felt they could control, to the
legislative council, impressing them
that every attempt to change the situ-
alton in the territory must be voted
down. Now that the leaders have be.
come convinced of the inevitable and
of the desirability of coming over to
the government proposition in time to
make good terms they are unable to
make their full blood tools in the Leg
islature obey orders The Indians turn
tn them with suspicion saying. You
have always told US to vote against
change; why do you change your
minds so quickly?" Even a white
man. less suspicious by nature than is
the red brother would be likely 20
wonder whether the white leader.
known to be corrupt. may not be
to sell his birthright.

Colonel Eastman, "sah" of West
Virginia, shot Frank E. Thompson,
formerly of Maine, lately of West Vii
ginia, where he was a business rival of
Eastmans. The shooting occurred
last spring Eastman shot Thompson
by firing from his pocket. The jury
gave Eastman two years in Jail. 1t
appears that he knew his friends on

for he sat in his cell playing a musical
instrument while the jury debated his
case within sound of the music That
verdict, however, does not tend to pre-
serve the harmony of justice.

Adulterated Flour.

Beyond the natural curiosity excited
the public has little interest in the
great gambling game now on between
Letter. the college youth who in

have made millions. Their operations
are likely to affect the price of flour

however. sort of specula ton. to call
it by a euphonious name. going on in
which the consumers of flour are
vitally interested. We refer to the
adulteration of flour both by healthful
and unhealthful ingredients. This has
already been carried to such an extent
that the Chicago board of trade and
the New York produce exchange are
cooperating in seeking some form Of
health has been called upon by some of
the reputable journals of that city to
interfere
This adulterated flour is known to
the trade as spiked" The "spiking''
process consists in one form, in mix
ing ground corn, barley or oats with
the wheat flour. This inflicts no seri-
Gus injury on the health of the con-
sumer but is none the less a fraud.
Another method of adulteration is to
mix glucose with the wheat flour Thi>;
is likely to render the flour injurious
and deserves swift and sure punish
ment as does all adulteration for thai

means of glucose first subjected to the
operations of justice.
