The State Warehouse Bill.

Although there has been very lit
tie discussion Of the State warehouse
bill in the newspapers, we have noted
an objection to the effect that the
scheme savors too much of the State
dispensary system. We are not at
all impressed with such suggestion,
however. Even the authors of the
dispensary law recognized that its
success was impossible except in the
hands of men of unquestionable char
acter and of the finest business ca
pacity. The main point of difference
between the promoters of the dispen-
sary idea and the people generally
lay in the question as to whether it
was possible to secure the service OF
such men. The dispensary promoters
thought yes and the people generally
thought no. The people generally
were right. The kind of men neces-
sary to the success of the dispensary
would have nothing to do with It
either as managers or patrons. Some
Hof them may have been patrons at
times; but at those times they were
disqualified as to requirements. But
the conditions surrounding the ware
house idea are different. To the State
warehouse is to be committed the
fruits Of the intelligence and toll OF
all kinds of people, including the best
and most intelligent there is in the
State. We have Scriptural authority
for it that where a mans treasure Is
there is his heart also. There are
more legal safeguards around the
banking systems of this country than
there are around any other business.
These legal safeguards are import
ant; but they are not nearly so i'm
portant or effective as the fact that
every depositor in a bank is at all
times keeping tab on the character,
habits and movements of those who
have charge of his money. The
same principle will apply to State
warehouse management with even
greater force. What the general as
sembly needs to do now, therefore, is
to put the system in charge of the
right kind of men-men of large af-
fairs, men of brains and patriotism.
The all important thing is that this
splendid idea does not fail through
improper or incompetent administra-
tion.-Yorkville Enquirer.

STORY OF THE LIFE OF AN
ADVENTUROUS PREACHER
Brought Up Among the Fighting Savages He
Tells Many Interesting and Exciting
Experiences of His Life

pardon for the technical offence he
had committed while a savage was
brought to him by the Rev. Mr.. Ward
pastor Of another Presbyterian
church in that city. The Rev. Mr..
Grifis had told a few Of his friends
of the technical charge which was
hanging over him, and they took 1t
up with President Cleveland, who
when he had heard all the circum-
stances, quickly granted the pardon.
Following his conversion, Mr.. Grif1s
was for time alos missionary
among the Indians. He spent year
and a half among the Semocos in
New York State. He has visited the
Chippewas in Minnesota, the Sioux
in Dakota, the Utes in southern Col
orado, the different tribes in Indian
Territory and the Ojibways in Can
ada.
His latest visit to an Indian tribe
was just few weeks ago when he
was among the Indians of the Flori-
da Everglades. These Indians live
on hummocks or islands just south
of Lake Okechobee. In 1858 all the
Indians in southern Florida were
rounded up to be sent to Indian Ter
ritory. About 100 of them escaped
from the stockade and got into the
Everglades, and later were allowed
to remain there. To-day they num-
Der about 400. Only one of them
can speak English.
The Rev. J. Griffis had learned the
language of the Seminoles when in
Indian Territory, and on arriving at
the islands he addressed them in
their own tongue, and was told to
come ashore, though white men are
seldom allowed even to land there,
and never allowed to stay on their
domains for any length of time.
He found the little islands averaged
in size from twenty feet across to
twenty acres in area and covered with
sub-tropic growth. The people live in
shacks three feet above the ground,
with posts for a foundation. The
roofs are thatched with palmetto.
These Indians raise hogs and chick
ems and do extensive gardening. The
Rev. J. Grifis hunted with them, and
brought back many interesting souve-
Mrs to Cleveland, one the skin of a
panther.
The Indian wife which Tahan mar
ried while a savage died many years
ago. They had son, however, who
is still living. He is "a years old, has
welded an Indian girl, and is a resi-
dent of Oklahoma. He does not
speak English.
After his conversion to the minis
try the Rev. J. Griffis married white
woman, and they have three chill

WOULD NOT SAY "OBEY."
Suffragette Refused Objectionable
Word and Minister Declined to Act.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 17.-Miss
Bessie S. Moss, suffragette leader, de-
clined to-day to subscribe to the
word "obey" in the Episcopal marri-
age service, and, in consequence, her
wedding to Albert E. Chamberlain, of
New York, was postponed. The min
lister who was to have officiated re-
fused to leave out the Objectionable
word. He was sustained by his bish-
op. The couple withdrew the we'd
ding invitations and will be married
next Wednesday by Baptist minis
ter who has agreed to respect the
suffragette brides objections.

BANK ROBBED BY PORTER.
James Murray, Porter, Got Away
With 81 1856.

Carney, Feb. 17.-t Decame
known in this city yesterday that the
Merchants & Planters bank, Of this
city, had been robbed of quite large
sum of money by former negro por-
ter, James Murray by name. It had
been rumored in this city for some
days that this money had been stolen,
but the bank officials when inter-
viewed by reporter, succeeded in
misleading him, stating that the
amount involved was scarce more
than pocket change, and that very
little money had been stolen, practi-
cally all of which had been recover
ed. This did not seem at all serious
and the suspicious of the people at
large and the depositors were allay-
ed. However, a reporter yesterday
succeeded in getting some facts and
figures on the case and it is now evil
dent that the bank suffered quite
largely. In short, the entire sum OBJ
tanned by the negro in two hauls
amounted to s1,265.
The money was obtained at two
different times by the porter, once
when the assistant cashier was max
ing up the payroll, and the other time
from the cashier during rush of
business. It seems that the negro
had free access to different portions
of the bank and had no difficulty in
getting to the money. For reasons
now unknown he was not suspected
when the loss of the money was
finally discovered.
A Rich Negro.
He shortly quit the employment of
the bank and went away from town,
remaining away for, some three
weeks. When he came back it was
noticed that he was quite flush with
money. In fact, at one time he Offer
ed to wager $40 with another negro
that he could show $1,000 in cash.
This naturally excited some suspicion
when reported to the bank, but the
police officials, being in ignorance OF
the theft, took no steps until they
were asked to do so by the bank Of
ficials. The arrest was made on the
quiet and few knew that the negro
was in jail. He remained in the
county jail for only two days, and
then, when the bank officials succeed
ed in recovering s1,195 from the ne
gro, he was released.
Directors Kick.
However, the officials of the bank
seemed to have placed themselves In
a rather embarrassing predicament.
They compromised the matter with
the negro by his returning the money
and it is stated that they secured
mortgage on his mothers house and
lot to cover the remainder of the
shortage. This would have been all
right had not the bank directors rails
ed a disturbance. It seems that the
directors do not approve of the COM
promise and intend to prosecute the
thief. A director, speaking to a re-
porter this morning, stated that
meeting of the directors had been
called for Tuesday afternoon at which
time it is probable that they will
take steps toward prosecuting the
negro. The bank officials, in their
effort to cover up the theft, seem to
have made a bad mistake.

They were captured, court-martlal-
ed and sentenced to death. Impris-
oned at Fort Reno, awaiting the day
of execution, they cut a hole through
the prison roof and escaped into the
darkness of the night. For three years
Tahan was a wanderer, suspicious
and afraid of everybody. Toward
the latter part of his wanderings he
crossed the border into Canada, and
one night in London, Ont, stopped
to listen to the Salvation Army on the
street. He went to the meeting in
the Salvation Army hall, became a
member of the Salvation Army, and
was later promoted to be a captain.
After some four years work with
the Salvation Army he took up work
as an evangelist Independently. He
was subsequently ordained into the
Presbyterian church and became pas
tor of the South Presbyterian church
OF Buffalo, a church of some 800
members. While pastor of that
church he started other missions in
that city which have since grown in
to churches.

METHODIST LADIES SERVE
FINE SUPPER TO PUBLIC

Those who ate with the ladies of the
Methodist church last Friday evening
enjoyed one of the best church suppers
ever served in Dickinson. The base
ment room, where the tables were
laid. was pretty with decorations of red

season and best of all the tables were
laden with viands to suit all appetites.
There were Two small booths in connec-
ton with the menu service from which
articles of fancy work were sold by Miss
Fannie Farrand and home made candy
by Misses Goldie Homer and Arvilla
Dingman. Much credit is due to Mrs.
M. G. Brown. president of the Aid,
who had charge of the entire affair and
