Departure of Capt. Lennon.

The latter part of next week Capt.
Lennon of the Indian Institute and
Mrs. Lennon will leave for Keam' S
Canon, Ariz., where Mr.. Lennon is
to take charge of the schools of the
Indian reservation in that section of
the country. The charge consists
of four fine schools, one of the size
of the Grand Junction school and
three smaller day schools. The res
ervation embraces a territory of six
ty square miles and within its
bounds live 300 adult Indians. The
position is one of the best of its
kind in the country.
Mr.. Lennon was offered the po-
sition by the Indian office some
months ago. and, after giving the
matter much thought, accepted the
charge. II is a better office than the
one the captain is now holding and
commands a higher salary. Mr.. c.
p. Burton, the present superintend-
ent of Keam's Canon, will take
charge of the school here. The two
gentlemen will therefore simply
make an exchange of posts.
Mr.. Burton comes to this school

Lennon desires the people of the
valley to extend to his successor n
hearty welcome and warm support
in his work. He feels sure that the
gentleman Will deserve and merit
such treatment and believes that un-
der his care the Indian school will
continue to grow and prosper in its
great work.
The departure of Capt Lennon
and his estimable wife will be re
gretted not only by the pupils of the
institution but by hundreds of
friends of the captain throughout
the valley. He is a man possessing
those qualities that make a man
popular with those with whom he
comes in contact. Under his man
agement the Indian school has flour

been most satisfactory. The pupils

was the chief speaker at the ninety
ninth dinner of the New England So
eiety of the City of New York His
subject was "A Corollary of the
Monroe Doctrine" and he said in
part:
The only relation that carries the
possibility of war for this country
is the declaration and adherence of
the American people to the so-called
Monroe doctrine.
There will be no frontal attack
on the Monroe doctrine. The way in
which the cause of war may arise
will be, If at all, by the conflict of
rights, the existence of rights on
the part of foreign powers against
the American republics and the re-
suit of the enforcement of these
rights of foreign powers against the
American republics coming into CON
nict with this doctrine. which we
assert for our own safety and pre-
servation.
I'VE do not undertake to say that
the republics of South and Central
America are to be relieved of their
International obligations. We do
not undertake to enforce their rights
against these members of the sis
terhood of nations. 1t is only when
the enforcement of these rights
comes to the point of taking possess
sion of the territory that we say
that it is Inconsistent with the peace
and safety of the United States. And
we cannot say that with justice un-
less we also say that the American
republics are themselves to be just
1T is always possible that re-
dress of injury. that punishment for
wrong, may lead to the occupation
of territory. And national life and
its safety, at the same time that we
say to the powers of the world, you
shall not push your remedies for
wrong against these republics to the
point of occupying their territory,
we are bound to say that whenever
that wrong cannot otherwise be
reached. We ourselves will see that
it is redressed."

"EnterpriSing Paper"

Plateau Valley Stockman: That
enterprising paper, the Grand juno
tion Sentinel, has lately installed n
Mergenthaler linotype machine. The
Sentinel was the first newspaper in
this county to invest in n typesetting
machine, having used a Simplex for
the past year or two. Within the
past few months its owners were
Obliged to increase the size of the
daily edition from a O-coIumn to II
T-column folio in order to meet their
increased demand for advertising
space; and even this space is hardly
adequate to the demands of adver-
tisers. The Sentinel has always had
the handsomest Office, the best me-
chanical equipment and the most
conservative management of any
daily in this section of the state. We
congratulate Bro. Bunting on the
tangible results of his enterprise;
also the city of Grand Junction on its
having two clean and readable daily
papers.

Verdict a Shock.

New York, Dec. Special y
Following a day of intense nervous
strain. Nan Patterson spent yester-
day in the Tombs, i'll and perhaps
on the verge of breakdown, but
with constant attendance.
Yesterdays verdict proved a ter
rible shock.
The jury stood six to six, half
for acquittal and the other six for
conviction Though no official an
nomcement was made further than
this, court house talk had it that
of the six deciding against Miss
Patterson, one was for murder in
tn efirst degree, that one held out for
second degree murder, another for
manslaughter in the first. and the
other three for manslaughter in the
second degree.
Immediately the announcement of
the verdict was made. Miss Patter-
son broke into fit of weeping,
which continued even after she was
led from the court room to a retir-
ing chamber. where physicians were
called and restoratives administered.
Then she was taken to the Tombs
but she again wept and moaned and
became hysterical and the efforts
of her father. the prison matron and
attendants to quiet her were futile.
The demonstration in the court
room after the announcement of the
disagreement was somewhat remark
able. many pressing forward to ex-
press sympathy for the young wo-
man.

The Greatest Gold Camp.

j. w. Stevens, whom everybody
knows as Jack Stevens. accompanied
by his son. j. Norman Stevens, and
George Hoffman, a well known rail
road man, are in the land of gold. as
the Goldfield region of Nevada is
called. Mrs. Stevens is in receipt
of a very long letter from her hus-
band giving a very full account of
their trip and a description of the
country in detail.
His first statement is that Gold
field and the region thereabouts is
the greatest gold camp and district
on earth in his judgment. Nothing
like it, not even Cripple Creek and
Leadville, has ever before been wit
messed. Much gold is being taken
out of the mines from the grass
roots down and men are being made
wealthy every day, who, a half dozen
weeks ago, were poor.
Mr.. Stevens and his party are not
at Goldheld proper now, but they
are south of that town about forty
miles, at a place called the Bull
Frog district. and the excitement and
the discoveries there are coeXtensive
with the discoveries at Goldfield.
They are only twenty miles north
of the great Death valley in Califor-
mia. and the finds of gold so close to
that dreaded region proves the tales
that have lured so many men to their
doom that gold in fabulous quanti-
ties was to be found in the valley
and near It.
Mr.. Stevens and party will make
some filings before their return and
will later develop their properties.
