Watertown, June 20, 100.
Lieut.. Gilman was ordered by the
President of the Congress to use his efforts
to cultivate a friendly feeling with the
Indians of st. Francois and the Canada
Indians, and told him that he should re-
ceive proper reward. When he was at
Falmouth Neck with the Penobscot chiefs
on their way to Cambridge, in 1775,
Enoch Freeman said of him, cone Mr.
Gilman is their interpreter who speaks
their tongue freely and seems to be a
clever young man." He is noticed as be-
ing on guard at Penobscot with ten In
dams, Sept. 18th, 1776
The following roll is of company of
Indians under the command of Lieut..
Gilman in the Bagaduce Expedition of
1779. They were probably all Penobscots
They were actively engaged and from a
soldiers diary we learn that one was
killed July 25th, another Aug. 5th, when
another was taken prisoner and probably
there were others. This roll is novelty
in our Revolutionary history and serves
to remind us of the Indians services in
that war.

Capt. John Lane raised company for
the army and in it enlisted five Penob-
scot Indians, Sdncier, Eneas, Sebatis,
Metagone and Sewanockett. When Ar
nold's expedition marched UP the
Kennebec, in the fall of 1775, three of
Capt. Lanes Indians went as guides.
Encos or Eneas and Sebatis went with
Mr.. Jauuith on secret errand, in adj
vance, with letters to friends of our cause
in Canada and were successful, meeting
the expedition on their return. The ex-
Dedition. which consisted of about eleven
hundred men, left Fort Halifax, Sept.
27th. and started on their march to
Quebec with Sewanockett for their guides.
In the Dead river region nearly one third
gave up in despair and returned to Cam
bridge. Arnold abandoned his batteaux
and forced his way through the forests
and swamps. The guides could not lead
them ont of the wilderness. They sus-
pected treachery but became convinced
the guides had lost their way. For thirty
two DAVIS no signs of human life met their
eyes. The men suffered dreadfully from
hunger and cold On Nov. they reached

Ketucky Capitalists Get Right to Sell
National Fence Machines.

The National Fence Machine COM
pany has made another ten strike
through its successful general man
ager, Charles Kubach, who has just
sold the right to sell the machine in
the state of Kentucky for big round
sum. The success of the company in
Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas has
attracted attention from all parts OF
the Union and as it owns the sole
right to the patent it has great OPP
portunity before it. The stockholders
are not only very fortunate in having
so good manager as Mr.. Kubach

the fence machine itself, as it has

STUDYING KANSAS RESOURCES.
Prof Haworth, Of State University
Looking Up State Riches.

Prof. E. Haworth, of the geological
department of the State University,
spent the afternoon in the city en-
route to south Dickinson where with
his assistants he will examine the
gypsum deposits in that vicinity.
During the summer he will study and
make a report on the gypsum and
coal deposits of the state under the
auspices Of the geodetic survey.
"The proposed tariff on gypsum"
said Prof. Haworth to the REFLECTOR,
sis of vast Importance to Kansas and
there ought to go up state demand
that the industry be recognized.
1.-The present conditions are that the
hard plaster has practically driven
the old form Of soft plaster out Of the
building trades of the nation. But
with Canadian and foreign gypsum
laid down az the New York mills SO
cheap our Kansas market is restricted
to the territory this side of Chicago
where we have an advantage in freight
rates. If, as Senator Baker proposes,
we could have a tariff Of ~ a ton on
gypsum it would mean a business OF
$3,0O0,O0O to $5,00O,O00 a year for
Kansas and it is in my opinion the
most important thing Kansas has at
stake in the framing of the new tariff
BILL"
Prof. Haworth last year studied the
irrigation problem in western Kansas
and prepared the very excellent re-
port of the state commission on irri-
cation. He is probably the best in
formed man in Kansas on the states
resources and has a firm confidence in
the future of the Sundower state If its
resources are properly developed.
His report on the coal and gypsum
deposits will be very valuable.

Postmaster Strother's Sensible Talk
on Making an Ideal Paper.

B. L. Strother read a paper at the
editorial convention the other day in
which he said some things that people
down this way ought to read and heed.
Among them were these:
"a country newspaper can not be
made an ideal publication, typograph-
ically, unless it is first prosperous,
and il prosperous country newspapers
are scarce, 1t is because there are so
many fool newspaper men who seem
willing to do anything on earth to
keep the other fellow from getting
a piece Of work at profit. II it were
not for this dog-in-the-manger policy
which disting fishes and extinguishes
country newspapers everywhere in
this country, the ideal country news.

ity, then, that | say that there is need
OF an able bodied industrious fool-kill-
er, who will remove to the better
world the man who tries to start a
second paper in town hardly large
enough for one; the publisher who
takes job work and advertising at
ruinously low rates just to keep his
competitor from getting it.
"lf this readiness to cut your own
throat in an effort to sever the iugu-
lar Of competitor could be got rid Of;
If editors and publishers could get to-
gether on a business basis of fair prof
its, the means with which to realize
an ideal would soon materialize, and
country journalism would rise to a
greater height Of dignity and useful
ness, and the country editors life
would be brighter and better.

RAIN DID GOOD.
But There Was Too Little Of It-Crop
Prospects.
From Fridays Daily.l

[From Fridays Daily.l
A cooling rain fell in and north of
the city last night but it was not gen
eral in the county. The territory
covered was however much benefited.
Rain is needed all over the county for
wheat and spring crops though there
is none suffering yet. G. X. Holiday
who has just been all over the Santa
Fe system estimates the states yield
as follows:
Wheat, 100000 bushels at Is
cents per bushel, $4,000 900; corn,
800, 900, 900 bushels at % cents per
bushel. $75, 900, 900; cattle, 100000
head, $l20,0O0,00O; hogs, 100000
head, $50, 900, 900; miscellaneous pro-
ducts, 100000 total amount,
$500, 900, 900.
Continued favorable conditions will
increase the yield in such proportions
as to enable our people to regard the
above amount as "pocket change" in
comparison with the grand total.

TO STOP cAaKgR WORKS.
Chancellor Snow Writes . Valuable
Letter About II.
To the Editor Of the Reflector,

To the Editor Of the Reflector.
LAWRENCE, May l9.-Nearly every
citizen has by this time probably OBJ
served slender caterpillar suspended
in mid air by single silken thread
letting itself down to the ground from
the leaves and branches Of elm and
apple trees. This caterpillar is the
so-called canker worm, a pest which
in the eastern United States has
proved very formidable to apple or
chards and elm trees. In some seas
ons in Massachusetts, have seen ev-
cry orchard along the coast and for
distance Of twenty-five miles inland
with the green pulp of the leaves en-
tirely destroyed, leaving nothing but
the brown ribs and veins Of the leaves
and presenting an appearance as II a
fire had swept over the entire area.
The canker worm which is now
quite generally distributed in eastern
Kansas, has not previously occurred
in sufficient numbers to produce great
damage over large area. 1t is pos
sible, however, that another season
may witness destruction of foliage
and fruit similar to that which some
times occurs in the eastern states,
At the present stage the best meth
cd of destroying these pests is by
spraying with a mixture Of Paris
Green or London Purple in water, at
the rate OF one pound of poison to l75
gallons of water. with the addition Of
one pound Of quick lime to every
pound of poison to prevent injury to
the foliage by the poison.
In order to prevent damage next
season completely effectual plan of
operations may be adopted, inasmuch
as the females are without wings and
consequently are obliged to reach the
leaves and branches of the trees for
the purpose Of depositing their eggs
by crawling up the trunks Of the trees,
If, therefore, in early spring, the
trunks Of the trees be girdled by sticky
substances like coal tar or sorghum,
the moths will be kept from deposit
ing their eggs on the trees. These
substances must be frequently re-
newed in order to maintain their
sickness. F. H. SNOW.

NAY REOPEN THE CASE.


The city Of Lcavenworth which was
defeated in its suit to collect occupa-
ton tax from the express company
has filed motion asking the appel
late court to reopen the case and al
low the matter to be reargued. The
appellate court held in deciding the
case against the city, that a license
tax could not be collected for business
done within the city unless they did a
local business by taking packages in
the city for delivery within the city.
The court held that when the city at
tempted to tax the earnings Of express
companies for business done between
Leavenworth and other points. the
city was in reality levying tax on
business done outside of its borders.
The law gives the city power to tax
business done within the city, but
this power cannot be exercised outside
OF its borders, says the court.
1t is held that the principle is the
same as that involved in interstate
commerce, a state has the power to
tax railroads and express companies
on business wholly within the state,
but it cannot levy tax on business
begun in the state and finished in
some other state. 1t is equally pow
erless in the case Of business begun
in some other state and finished with
in its borders. The city claims that
the receiving of goods in the city and
hauling the same to the express office
constituted business begun and ended
inside the limits in the meaning of
the law and as such is rightly subject
to tax. The decision affects all towns
which have an occupation tax and it
is doubtful il Abilene's tax on insur-
ance companies will hold good if it
stands.

GETS HIS APPOINTMENT.
0. c. Troxel, Secretary Of Gish Family
Medicine Co., q West Pointer.

o. e. Troxel has received official
notice of his appointment as cadet to
West Point by Congressman Vincent.
This will compel him to retire from
his position as secretary and treasurer
Of the Gish Family Medicine company
which he has filled so ably since the
company's organization in the winter
OF 1895. The company has made a
progress that is highly creditable to
its managers and Mr.. Troxel has had
no little share in achieving its sue
cess. The company was incorporated
in April, 1896, and since that time it
has made long strides forward. In
the last year it has sold over $1,000
worth Of medicine and the best feat
ure of its business is that it has not
had continually to seek new fields but
has repeatedly sold to old customers,
which is the best of testimonials to
the efficacy Of the remedies and evil
dence Of the care and correctness
with which they are prepared.
Since Jan. l, 1897, the sales have
reached over 1900 and in addition
to the Kansas business the firm is
branching out into other states. 1t
has three statesmen ready to begin
work in Minnesota and eight statesmen
on the road in this state, all doing
good business. The company has
tlattering prospects and the future
will see it reach a high position
among Kansas business firms.
The withdrawal Of Mr.. Troxel from
the company, made necessary by his
appointment, will not affect the COM
pany's business as efforts will be made
to fill his place with as competent
and energetic an officer If possible.
He has made fine record and reaped
financial prosperity but he cannot af-
ford to give upa West Point educa-
tiOn for mere money.
