never learn. He was not dark faced
man. On the contrary, he was light,
and fair haired, and you didn't have
to talk with him five minutes to real
lie that he had been born of gentle
people and had no viciousness in his
nature. They sent him up to Woona
Wally after his first two years inn
prisonment, and he fell into the hands
of George Stebbins In those days an
Australian convict was bid off-that
is, settler in want of help would bid
price for so many men, and they
were turned over to him for certain
length Of time. He was responsible
for their feed and care and his word
was law. He could work them as
hard and as long as he wished. He
could starve and beat them, and there
was no one to come between. In case
of insubordination he could shoot
them down and the government sim
ply accepted his statement OF the af-
fair. All convicts were glad enough
to get away from prison and out upon
the ranches, and in most cases they
found good masters and very deeently
treated. AS a member of the mounted
police | knew that Stebbins was a
hard man to get along with. He had
been tavern keeper and a bully In
England and his wife had committed
suicide and his two sons been taken
away from him by the law on account
of his tyrannical and brutal nature.
AS the owner of big sheep ranch at
Woona Wally the man had sort OF
standing and few friends, but there
were plenty Of people who kept clear
OF him. A part of the duty of the po-
lice was to keep an eye on the hired
conyicts in certain district, and we
thus came to know that Stebbins had
less care for the men he hired than
for his dogs. On two or three ocea-
slons we had been compelled to report
him for excessive punishment. and the
feeling between him and the police
was not altogether friendly
Black Jim came up to Woona- wally
with six other men, and the gang were
locked up at police headquarters for
the night. 1t fell to me 10 take their
pedigrees and post them as to their

without it's reward. Indeed, he has
met with a greater degree of success,
in a comparative sense, than either of
his predecessors.
Catholics of the diocese, and nom
Catholics as well. are familiar with
the number and location of the
churches whose spires have pointed
Heaven-ward during Bishop Donahue's
administration, and largely through
his efforts. He has been a particular
friend of higher education. AS evil
dence of this fact, Mt. de Chantal
Academy enjoys greater prestige
among institutions for young ladies
than ever before; the parochial
schools have been improved; the hand
some Cathedral High School has been
built and is being conducted with re-
markable success by the Xaverian
Brothers; and st. Joseph's Academy
for young ladies will soon reopen in
a magnificent new home
In and about Wheeling there
are especial indications Of the
results achieved by Bishop DON
ahue. In addition to the in
stitutions of learning mentioned
above, a new parochial school build
ing has been erected for the parish of
the Immaculate Conception, and new
rectory is in course of construction.
Churches have been built and dedi-
Gated to divine worship in Elm Grove,
Pleasant Valley, and McMechen. The
orphans of both sexes have been pro-
vided with homes with delightful en-
virpnments at Elm Grove. Unfortu-
nate women are to be cared for at an
institution to be conducted by the Sis
tiers of the Good Shepherd at Pleas
ant Valley, the neucleus for the com
munity of the Sisters having already
been provided with a home In that To-
cality. Now, the new Episcopal resi-
dence, the need OF which has been
manifest for many years, is practically
an assured fact, since ground was
broken for the foundation last week.
Another monument to the zeal Of
Bishop Donahue. Is the Carroll Club,
social institution whose home would
be a credit to communities several
times as large as this. Many OF Bishop
Donahue's plans have not yet been car
ricd out, but what he has accomplish
ed in six years has been little short of
remarkable. The diocese now has an

then so bleak and desolate, to take up
the burden of a pioneer pastor.
Weddings First Bishop.
A volume could well be written con-
corning the life and deeds of this re-
markable man, whose episcopal career
covered thirty-three years and whose
name shines undimmed in ecclesias-
teal chronicles. Born at Baltimore in
1906, he received his education in the
classics and theology mainly at Mount
st. Mary's College, Emmittsburg, Md,
an institution which has given more
prelates to the American Church than
any other in the country. After his

long considered as one of the
most gifted clergy. After the Bish
ops solemn interment at Mt. Calvary
cemetery, Wheeling, the prelates of
the Baltimore province sent, as usual,
three names of clerical candidates for
the Pope's inspection, out of which to
choose an incumbent for the vacant
See. The principal candidate, rank
ing as dignissimus, was Rev. John
Joseph Kahn, rector at Harper's Ferry,
w. Va, and a priest of considerable
force Of character, whose conservation

the unique ceremonial. Bishop Kahn
assumed control of the diocese.
One of the salient points of its his

Vincent Whelan, D. D., Bishop of Rich
mond, Va, whom his immediate pre-
decessor raised to the hierarchy nine
years before; and when the sixth Pro-
yincial Council of Baltimore decreed,
in May, 1S49, that the bishopric of
Richmond should be divided and an
other diocese created at Wheeling, the
Pope conceded in the views of the
American episcopate, while yielding
also to the conviction that Richmond's
incumbent would be the best candidate
for the Wheeling See. AS matter of
fact, Bishop Whelan desired to become

ton, which became a separate State

Bishop Kain's successor. Notwith-
standing his Celtic name, DR.. Donahue
first saw the light of day at Manches-
ter, England, where he was born of
Irish parentage. He came to the
United States when quite young, and,
after brief experience at the National
Capitol as legal light, he decided to
enter the ranks of the priesthood,
which he did on the strength Of his
conviction that this was his true voca-
ton. He was ordained priest by Car
dinal Gibbons, who shortly afterwards
appointed him assistant rector OF the

later; not, indeed, because it offered
more comfortable field of duty than
the See of Richmond, as then divided,
but because the diocese had been
carved out, as it were, of the most
desolate portion of his former blsh-
opric, where but few churches, chapels
or stations existed and where much
earnest toll awaited the prelate en-
trusted with it's care. In other words,

Purcell, l. T., Feb. 27.-Capt.
Jack Ellis, chief of the Indian po-
lice for the FIVE civilized tribes, ac-
companied by his posse. arrived
here today for the purpose of as
sisting in the collection of Indian
permits. Mr.. Robert Walker.
general tax collector for the Chick
asaw and Choctaw nations in Pom
totoc county, aud Mr.. r. Il.
Reems, special national agent and
the authorized collector of the |
per cent tax, are also here.
The taxes now levied by this ma
ton are as follows: $l.m per
man on all male, adult non citi :
zens; % cents per head on all
cattle held by non-citizens and a l
per cent tax on all stocks of mer-
chandise.
Much trouble has been expert
enced heretofore in the collection
of these taxes and serious results
have several times been narrowly
averted. The Indians claim the
right to make the levy under the
provisions Of the late treaty and
are apparently being vigorously
supported by the secretary of the
interior and the heads of minor
departments under him. Indian
Agent Schoenfelt has lent his per-
sonal presence recently to the en-
foroement of the collections and
there seems no way to avoid pay
ment except by voluntary or forci
BILE removal from the Territory
The latter plan was the one adopt
ed in the case of Smith, capital
ist of Vinita, who was not only
elected but is now prohibited from
returning to the Territory.
Some very determined local Op
position to payment has been de
veloped, but the collecting forces
seem satisfied of ultimate success
As an argument in favor OF speedy
payment one of the collectors
makes this statements: Take:
