EDITORIAL COMMENT.

The special session of congress
called to consider the Cuban reci-
procity treaty, met on Tuesday,
November 10, and notified the
President that it was ready for
business. President Roosevelt
Immediately sent his message
which was read in both houses,
and referred to the proper COM
1nittees, after which both bodies
adjourned. The message is a
plain, straightforward presenta-
ton of the situation, and as such
met the approval of the republi-
can members, who received 1t
with applause. The treaty will,
no doubt, be soon approved.
Governor Chamberlain is max
ing a grand stand play in de-
manding pledges of the legisla-
tors before calling a special ses-
sion to remedy the deficiencies ot
the tax law. The Legislature is
the governing body and it is the
business of the governor to exc.
cute the laws they pass. He is
starting in early to make politi'
cal capital for the uext guberna-
torial election. Perhaps hi:
greatest fear is that some of hi:
own pet measures may be inter
fered with. 1t may be that the
portage railroad is the nigger il
the woodpile. Eh, George?
A dispatch from Portland say
that several elders from Ziol
City, Illinois, who have seeded
from the fold of ''Elijah the Sec
ond," are in that city and ex-
pect to buy land in Willamett
Valley, for the purpose of estab.
fishing a Zionist colony. The,
expect to bring about $50 fami
lies, to start their new sett1emen
in this state. It is said that the,
have deposited a large sum c
money in Portland banks, an
that the exodus from Zion vii
take place in time to be ready fo
the spring work of 1904. Tha
these people have chosen Orego
as permanent place Of residenc
argues a higher grade of intelli
gence than could naturally b
expected to come out of Zio.
City. Perhaps it would be wel
to encourage them, in hopes tha
our climate may complete tn
cure. Then, if luck would onl,
strike us again, and we coul
work off our Holy Rollers ol
them, our happiness would b
complete.

seems to be an established fact.
The politicians are satisfied, as
the new state government will
make Offices enough to 60 round,
the people are satisfied, as the
canal will now be built, and
good times will prevail on the
Isthmus. The United States is
satisfied, as they can now con-
clude the treaty without meeting
the extertionate demands of the
Bogota government. The Col
ombian government is the only
one not satisfied as they will now
have to hustle to pay the debts
they expected to pay with the
twenty millions from Uncle Sam.
The new state has been recogniz-
ed by the United States and some
of the European powers, and
there is little danger of any at
tack on them by the Bogota gov.
ernment as the United States is
bound to protect the passage
across the Isthmus. So as nearly
everybody is happy till the canal
people take it into their head to
annex the state of Panama, let
us leave them to the enjoyment
of their new made honors.

A rather ma1odorous state of
affairs has developed in the state
of Wyoming caused by the arrest
and conviction of one Tom Horn,
indicted for murder in Iron
county, and sentenced to be hung
ON the goth of this month. Nu-
merous petitions have been pre-
sented to have the sentence COM
muted to life imprisonment.
The trouble seems to be that he
has many friends who are afraid
that if he is to hang, he will
make confessions duplicating
them in many cold -b1ooded muir
ders that he has committed. It
is said by men known to be re-
liable that Horn was the hired
assassin of large cattle corpora
tions to murder settlers On gov

score of secret assassinations have

Cony Opens Championship Series With
Victory, 81 to O..

The Journal predicted, yesterday
would be some good football playing
done, and the Journal was right, only
Brunswick didn't win, and Cony did
the football playing. The boys came
home with a "ChiZZle WiZZle, ChlZZle
Wizzle. Siss Boom BAH" and reported
that they had run up score of 81 to U.
on the Brunswick players. Ihls IS a
most suspicious opening for the sea-

heads level and work harder, after ev-
cry victory, they will make record
before the snow flies
The team left on the sos, yesterday
afternoon, in their suits. and went onto
the field as soon as they arrived IN
Brunswick. Captain Little won the
toss and chose to receive the kickoff.
1t took just two minutes after the Whis-
tie was blown for Cony to make a touch
down, IA line play and an end run

A Correspondent Sends Further De
tails of the Sad Affair.

Editors Kennebec Journal:
Your issue of September % gives an
account of an accident on Crotched
pond, Fayette, which, of course, espec-
iallv interests those who were directly
connected with the catastrophe. The
correspondent reporting that accident
was evidently misinformed on some
particulars; and, in justice to the repu-
tation of your paper for accuracy in it's
news items, the following account is
submitted:
The southern end of the east branch
of Crotched pond is hardly more than
three fourths of mile from the semi
nary buildings at Kent's Hill. Since
the cottage of DR.. Wilson F. Morse of
,, the musical department in the Semi
nary was built. boating parties from
the Hill have frequented this portion of
the pond. Last Saturday eight boats
We're moored near the Morse cottage,
six of these being owned by Kent's Hill
people. The boat used by the four un-
fortunate ladies, Miss Davis. Miss Ba-
con- Miss Devine, and Mrs. Newton,
was owned by Mr.. McKenney, the
steward of the Seminary. This boat is
about 10 feet in length and Of the dory
type-a very cranky craft

turned boat floating nnear the islands
and about so rods from the southern
shore. Az quickly as possible Mr.. I'm

steered by Gordon directly for the cap

place of the accident, three women
were seen chnging to the bottom of the
Mckinney boat. They were greatly
agitated yet self-pOssessed, and pre-
scented Il most sublime, illustration OF
Christian heroism. 'f4Among the first
words they spoke to the rescuing party
were these. Save Mrs. Newton, save

alongside the McKenney boat, grasping
Miss Davis, who seemed much eX-
hausted and steadying with his other
hand the boat to which the women
were clinging. Gordon at once put his
boat in proper position, and Miss Davis
was taken aboard. protesting that the

F.. H. Dodge was now at hand with
his boat: and Miss Davis, Miss Bacon,

the Dodge boat, that haste in landing
them might be made, and better atten-
ton for resuscitation given to Mrs.
Newton. VIM. Smiley boarded the
Underwood boat, leaving the Chase
boat adrift, and padded to a. landing
near the Morse cottage. The cottage
forced an entrance, and Mrs. Newton's
body was carried there. Here Prof.
J. d. Newton soon arrived, having by a
prearranged plan left the Hill with
team to carry back the party after
their boating. DR.. Brown and Pro-
fessor Trefethen came Is or 20 minutes
later. and every available means to
restore Mrs. Newton were used, but in

climbing into it after being thrown into
the water is an absurdity. Undoubted-
ly the boat rolled sufficiently as it lay

fusion on Mrs. Newtons forehead in
dicating that she was hit by something
when the boat capsized. Perhaps this
circumstance accounts for her being
unable to cling to the boat as did the
others.

The agricultural department receives
a great many letters from farmers all
over the State. asking for advice about
getting rid of insect pests. about treat
ment of soils, handling of crops, ETC.,
the interesting side of which is that
the agricultural population is begin
ming to realize that it has Il special de-
partment devoted to its interests and is
making use of it. The days when, the
editor of the country newspaper was
driven half crazy by questions which he
could not answer because he was not a
walking encyclopedia, are rapidly pass
ing away, and the department, which
makes Il special study of agricultural
problems and is therefore competent to
/ give information, is doing its work with
the full appreciation of the public.
