Here and There.

Tuesday afternoon the Republican
state convention at Bangor will place in
nomination the next governor of Maine.
While few months ago there may have
been uncertainty as to the action of the
convention, there is practically none
now. Col F. <. Boothby would have
had few votes for the nomination, but
has withdrawn from the contest, Hon.
William T. Haines will have a larger
number, and Hon. Bert NJ. Fernald OF
Poland will have sufficient number to
nominate him. 1t is also practically
certain that the convention will not
favor resubmission of the prohibitory
amendment, nor is it at all likely that so
strenuous an effort will be made to have
it do so as was made at the convention
Of 1906.

Rumford Falls will Become Rumford.

With the first Of July, the name OF
the post office in Oxford County's largest
village, which has heretofore been Rum.
ford Falls, will become Rumford. A
Rumford post Office formerly existed in
another part Of the town, but the name
of that was some time since changed to
Rumford Corner.
Although 1t will take good many
years to eliminate the "Falls" from
general discourse, the change in the
name Of the post Office will considerably
hasten the time when the place will be
known simply as Rumford, as in certain
quarters It already has been for some
time.

The convention will also nominate q
candidate for the position of state
auditor, a fact which many may have
overlooked. As regards this there is no
doubt that the present incumbent Of
that Office, Charles P. Hatch, will be
nominated by reclamation. He has adj

office, administering it in business like
manner, and without fear or favor, and
has proved himself just the man for the

copy from an interesting letter from
Miss Mary Maxim: "Your communica-
ton in the Democrat of June I'd was
specially interesting to me, as the author
of said poem, Seba Smith, was born
within a stones throw of the place
where your humble correspondent first
saw the light. The old cellar, over
which the house once stood, filled al
most to the brim with sundry accumula.
tions, overgrown with waving grasses
and all sorts of lovely green outdoor
things that nature 80 thoughtfully pro.
vides to hide the ravages of time and
decay, was just over the wall from my
fathers old pasture, where at sunsets
golden hour was wont to go to drive
home the flowing kine.' 1t was a
favorite haunt of my childhood and
youthful days, ere my footsteps were
tempted to wander in search of past
ures new"

If others have aught to add, now is the
chance. Have heard that the Jack
Downing papers nettled President Jack
son. Have also heard that the writer
didn't clothe his humor in the rags OF
poor spelling. That is a later style, an
Ethan Spike style, and a silly one. M
doubt the papers, which were political
and which we never saw, have gone
with the forest leaves of fifty years ago.
Such things die and are buried and for
gotten.
Your regular reporter has already
spoken of the graduation exercises in

that the young girls had remarkably
fine essays, and are TO be congratulated

furnished them.

The United States has broken off
diplomatic relations with Venezuela.
But, although that means that our rela-
tions with Venezuela are strained to the
full limit that they can go without
breaking, there doesn't seem to be any
war scare in the country, and there are
probably many good people who don't
yet know that our minister at Caracas

Iu1 ORD has just reached Washington
M Of the thrilling experience of Miss
w Clare d. True, who has been for
many years teacher in the Indian schools
of the southwest and recently appointed
superintendent of the Potrero Indian
school and government disbursing agent
at Banning. Cal.
Miss True's quick wit and good judg-
ment doubtless prevented what might
have proved to be a tragic ending and
troublesome outbreak of the Indians at a
tribal feast given at Palm Springs reser-
walton last week.
Miss True Is a Kentucky college bred
girl. we'll known in social circles OF the
east In addition to her educational and
social accomplishments, she is a fine
horsewoman, an expert shot, and in ac-
quiring this training she has also ac-
quired that sort of bravery that compels
the judicious exercise of weapon under
extraordinary circumstances.
Together with Mr. Connell.' special In
dian agent, Miss True handled the Difficult,
situation that presented itself on the oc-
casion Of this annual festivity with the
capability of a master hand.
Fearing a repetition of some disgusting
phases of these feastS, when liquor has
been struggled to the Indians by tina,
troublesome bootlegging element of the
keeps the government representatives
busy trying to apprehend Offenders and
punish their offenses. Miss True had
asked for police protection during the
progress of the feast. Meantime the In
dams changed the date suddenly, and this
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-03-08

left to Miss Trues own responsibility the
supplying of personal supervision of the
affair.
On the eve of the feast ONE of the unde
sirable citizens of that country rode into
the reservation with d store of whisky
concealed in ap old valise. Miss True, in
sistent upon experimenting all of this
class seized the liquor and cut short the
mans plans for attending the feast. The
Indians, who had expected to accompany
him to the festivities thereupon changed
their minds and decided to forego the
pleasures and possible tragedies that the
occasion might develop.
Good fortune, however, favored Miss
True in her predicament of trying to at
tack the situation single-handed, for that
evening Special Agent Cornell visited the
reservation and together with him Miss
True proceeded to the scene of the merry
making. Here they found a Mexican ped
ding his prohibited refreshments among
the Indians. Mr.. Connell started after
him, when the Mexican boted for a house
where his liquor supply was concealed.
Mr.. Connell forced open the door and a
hand-to-haDd fight ensued. AS the Mex
lean rushed for gun in the corner of the
room Mr.. Connell shot him through the
shoulder, which cut short the mans activ-
ity in the liquor traffic for that day, and
he is now recovering from his wound in "a
hospital under arrest
When the Indians heard the pistol shot
they thought one of their people had been
killed. They rushed toward the house
and surrounded it and insisted upon en-
tering. But Miss True had fortunately
reached the house first. Fearing at
tack from the sympathizers of the whisky
element, she had taken a stand in defend
