LOYAL TO HIS FRIENDS.
Interesting Letter from Former Abb
lene Pastor, Rev. Seabrook.

Rev. W. L. Seabrook, formerly pas
tol OF the Lutheran church here bul
now pastor Of the church at New
berry, S. c., writes to the Gettysburg,
Pa, Star regarding the Burton case.
He says that whenever at home on
the Lords Day, during Mr., Seabrook'l
pastorate was always In bis congre.
cation. Mr.. Seabrook writes that
the verdict Of the St, Louis jury has
not shaken his faith in the honor and
integrity OF his friend; that it would
take not only the most direct and
positive testimony, but testimony
without the slightest shadow of bias,
prejudice or political tsiut to con-
vince him that Senator Burton is
guilty of even q technical violation OF
law; and that II such testimony could
be had, even then no testimony short
Of Senator Burton's own acknowledge
ment could convince him that the
senator had been guilty of any dis.
honest or dishonorable act.
In a personal letter to a friend of
this city Mr.. Seabrook says:
"My little family are all we'll. Ny
Oldest son will graduate at Newberry
college in June and has made fine
record-will represent his college at
the state Intercollegiate oratorical
contest next month, and | think with.
put doubt II not the first honor man
of his class, will take one Of the hon.
ors.
The second boy, nearly seventeen
years old, will finish sophomore in
June, and In addition to bis college |
work is taking course in architecture
II engineering with the Armour school
II technology, by correspondence.
Dur little girl, though not twelve
years old, is large and beyond her
years in many things. All are per-
ectly we'll. Mrs. Seabrook enjoys
life here and is in splendid health.
while our community has no
'oom we are steadily growing and
improvements Of every kind are seen

THE CANAL COMMISSION.
Thus Far 1t Has Not Determined How the
Construction Work Will Be Done
Many Applications for Work.

Washington, April 30.-Since the re-
turn of Admiral Walker and Gen
Davis, of the isthmian canal commits
sion, to Washington from Panama
they have been engaged in work pre-
liminary to the meeting Of the COM
mission next week at which formal
organization of the commission and the
appointment of subcommittee will be
effected. During the months absence
Of the commission application for po-
sitions on the canal force were re-
ceived by the thousand. Gen. Davis
yesterday said that a wagonload OF
applications had come to the commits
sion. Thus far 1t has not been deter
mined how the canal will be done;
hence, the commission itself does not
know yet Just what positions 1t will
have at its disposal. Under the law
the commission may do the construc-
ton work itself or 1t may let 1t out
by contract. The probability now Is
that the great bulk Of the work will be
done by contract. 1t has been sug-
gested that a construction company be
organized to undertake the work under
the supervision of the commission.
The organization Of several companies,
each to do a specified portion OF the
work, also has been suggested. Mem
bers of the commission point out that
IL the canal be dug by contract the
construction companies will employ
their own laborers and relieve the
commission of such annoyances.

If Cooperative Company Enter the Field Here a
Local Telephone War Will
Be the Result

I telephone construction and would give
/ Lewiston a system second To none"
/ Mr. McGillivray was asked why the
city would not grant this new fran
chse inasmuch as it would introduce
competition into the field thereby slim
ulatng better service and cheaper
rates. He stated that another sys-
tenn would work a hardship on the
business interests as they would be at
the expense of carrying two phones
and the service would be no better off
as the outcome would be a fight and
would end in the survival of the ffttest.
Mr.. McGillivray stated that the com
pany had now a good system but that
the many improvements in store would
largely enhance its value. He stated
that at the present the company were
making fair dividend on their invest
ment here but with two lines that they
would be compelled to enter a fight for
business which would materially less
en- the profits and in his opinion the
public would possibly suffer.
Mr.. McGillivray has been here but
a short time and since his advent has
made number of improvements for
the betterment of the service. The eff
cheney of the service has been very
noticeable and thus far there has been
no serious complaints against the COM
pany. Mr.. McGillivray states that they
will continue to give the best service
possible regardless of the new COM
pany.
1t is understood that the franchise
for the Cooperative company will be
granted at the meeting of the council
next Wednesday night.

of this new franchise will be the means
