At a meeting of the democratic district committee, held in the city of of EvansviHe, April 20, it was unanimously ordered that^ a democratic congressional convention be held at Rockport, Thursday, May 24, at 2 p. m. to nominate a candidate lor the Fifty-fourth congress from the First district of Indiana. The basis of representation is one delegate for each 100 votes and fraction in excess of 50 votes, cast for Claude Matthews for Governor, as follows: County. Votes. Gibson. .. 24 Perry. 21 Pike. ...•... 19 Posey.. ...— 26 Spencer .. .. 25 Vanderburg.. 91 Warrick . 22 By order of the democratic district committee of tho First congressional district. a George W. Shanklin, Chairman. Jacob M. Harlem, Secretary.

Patoka Towusbtp Democrats. The democrats of Patoka township will assemble at Winslow on Saturday May, 19, 1894, for the purpose Qf nominating a township ticket to be voted for at the November election. Let every democrat of the township be present to nomiiuffe a strong ticket. P. II. Beatty, Chairman] “Blue Wings” Twiueham with his whiskers is still in the race for congress. He isn’t goiug to be snubbed either. See. The Washington daily Gazette has changed to a morning issue. The proprietors have dressed it in new type and altogether the paper is a stranger to the old evening edition. Success, boys. Will the trade be perfected to give the republican nomination for auditor to Woolsey ? Armstrong and Chandler both want it and they have their friends. Say, you fellows that made the promise had better whack OP- ________ Democrats, stay away trom the republican primary election next Thursday. There is trouble enough among them without making any more. It will be one of these regular pitched battles, aud many’s the man that’s going td get left in the soup. The Democrat makes the prediction that neither Twiueham, HemenWay or Posey will be nominated when the republican potfgressioual convention again convenes. A new man will bob up and run off with the “pie.” He is an old “boss” in politics and knows when the opportunity is ripe. The republican congressional convention was a dead failure at Evansville last week. After being in session two days it was concluded to adjourn to some future date when the various county discensions would have time to pool off. The convention was in a dead-lock from start to finish. The closing ballot stood Posey 38, Hempnwav 40, Twineham 25, and Morgan 27. The latter Goodlet Morgan, of this county, was fought forih in the last ballot. j^Vious to that time the vote be

tween Heinenway and Posey was well together. In all seyenty-three ballots was taken. From all accounts it was the most unharzqomous convention ever held in the district. It is now certain that a new man hiust be bronght forward. And the end is not yet. ______ , The race for the nomination ftr clerk next Thursday promises to show sojpe surprising results. There are three candidates. Young and Brumfield from Petersburg aud Ileuring from Wiuslow. See ’em run. “Wait till the clouds roll by,” etc., will be th£. song 6ung by several of the outside caudidates after next Thursday. The Petersburg ring is to hog the persimmons and let the other boys hoof it. It will be the old, old story so oft retold? The “ring” controls it all. Next Thursday, our republican frieuds have a friendly set-to at the polls to nominate candidates for the various county offices. We sav “friendly,” “ but pf course there is blood iu the air—or some place else. It promises to be real lively. For fuller particular^of this event wait for The Democrat. Some say that it will never do to noiniuate “So and So” as he is—well, it Alight be, but the republican •‘Slick Six” will make .the nominations to suit themselves on next Thursday. You see Washington township rules the roost when it comes to a republican nomination. Patoka township sometimes takes a hand, but the politicians of the two have fallen out among themselves. Ix a few weeks Tiie Democrat will begiu the publication of a continued article on Pike county and its management. The history will be complete and will be well worth reading.If ?you want all the chapters of this valuable history it will be well for you to subscribe for The Demcrat at once. Any postmaster in Pike county will take your subscription and remit the money to us. Look out for chapter one. .

Subscription money is needed at this office. Many persons who have promised to settle during the past few months have neglected to do so. On accouut of large expense recently contraded this delay is very inconvenient to us. It is to be hoped that all delinquents will give this notice immediate attention. M. McC. Stoops. The dempcratic congressional convention of the First district is called to meet at Rock port, Thursday, May 24th. for the purpose of nominating a candidate for congressional honors. The First district is in good shape politically and there is no question but what the democrats will increase the majority over that of 1892. Reports from all over the district are very encouraging. As will be seen in today’s paper Pike county is entitled to nineteen delegates, r There if considerable ol a “kick” going on in some quarters for new delegates to the republican congressional convention from the district. What will be done in the matter remains, to be seen in the near future. While a nevfr set of delegates may be demanded, what is the matter with the old ones holding over. They voted to suit the democrats of the district. But in selecting the delegates the democrats have no voice, and it is a row among the republicans of this district which they must settle bet wee in them. Have you all the reading you want for the coming campaign ? If not, you should subscribe for The Democrat. Every democrat, republican, peoples party and prohibitionist should take The Democrat. It is unquestionably the best paper published in the county. Besides it gives you the full details of all county business, and during the coming campaign will show up some of the misdoings of certain individuals. The Democrat means just what it says and don’t you forget it. T^he time to subscribe so as to get all of the history will be after the 3d of May. Yesterday the state of Indiana paid off $370,000 of its bonded debt. This is the second payment since the new tax law went into effect, says the Indianapolis Sentinel. The total reduction under that law has been $710,000, and the annual saving of interest $21,30Q. The total debt remaining, exclusive of the bonds to our universities is $7,636,615.12 This year the sinking fund levy comes into effect and at least $350,000 more will be available for the reduction of the debt. The payments so far have

been made from the saving in the general fond. We would call the attention of our republican friends to the fact that the Indiana democrats have shown their ability to handle a financial question aud handle it well. The new tax law of Iudiana is one of the greatest of democratic achievements. From the Cyclone State. Hovt, Kan., April 15,1894. Editor Democrat:—I promised you when at Petersburg last month! that as sooi as I arrived here I would write a tew items which would probably be of some interest to at least some of the readers of your paper, especially, a number of my friends and acquaintances of my native couuty. We arrived here March 14th and assumed our respective duties March 16th. This is the Pottawatomie “Prarie Band” Indian Reservation. The Pottawatomie’s at one lime owned and held a reservation in the State of Indiana and by a treaty with them were finally transferred to this reservation, which is eleven miles square and is a beautiful rolling prairie. Fully 85 per cent of which is uncultivated and in its natural state, set in prairie grass. And through the reservation runs two creeks, Big and Little Soldier. The population of the reservation is uow 570. The chiet of the tribe is quite an old gentleman, being 82 years of age. Ilis name is Shough-ncs-see.’ The government owes this tribe about $600,000 from which they receive an annual interest of five per ceut. and this interest is paid to them as an annuity and they receive this annuity semi-annually. One installment is being paid to them this month. This, however, is in the discretion of the agent as to when they receive these aunuties. He usually selects a season of the year when the weather is good. Those aunuties are paid pto rata to each man, woman and child. Each and every member of the tribe receives exactly the same amount. In this distribution now being dispensed they are each receiving $22.02. ’ This annuity is some times partly paid in fencing wire, wagons, plows, cultivators, lumber for houses, etc. Besides all this they have a school fund of $80,000.

mere is aiso aii auuimeni agem who allots their land to then*. The n.embers of the tribe have the right to make their own selections of land, but in many cases they will not make a selection and in that event the allotment agent will make the allotment to all that have not taken an allotment alter next October himself. A great number of the Indians are opposed to any allotment, but want the land to remain as it is, just in common. I will here give a few of the most common and eminent tribal names, vis: Wish-no, Mas-quos, Pio-she-dwin, Kack-kack, Wah-was-suck, Wab-num, etc. The school is situated near the middle of the extreme southern odge of the reservation. Teu miles north of Hoyt, which is the nearest town and has about two huudred inhabitants (and from which we receive mail thee times per week vis. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays) and it is seventeen miles north-west of Holton, a prominent town of about three thousand inhabitants, and twenty-six miles north of Topeka the State capital. The building where the employes and pupils live, is a new frame of | modern architecture, about 125 feet long by 30 feet wide, and a center L, all two stories, composed of employes rooms, dormitories, kitchen, dining room, pantries, wash rooms, bath rooms, halls, play rooms, &c. There is a basement in which the furnace is located. The building is heated by steam by direct radiators, and is thoroughly supplied with water bv pipes, receiving the water supply by means of an elevated tank, which is supplied from a well, and pumped by a wind mill, which is situated nearly a half mile away from the building. The line of pipe which conveys the water from the well to the tank runs through the barn lot with a valve so arranged that the water can be turned into a low tank in the barn lot to water the stock. The school honse is about a quarter of a mile west of the building above mentioned. There is enrolled about fifty pupils with an nnnsual attendance of about forty, ranging in age from eight to eighteen years aud about equally: divided as to sex. There is details made of the largest boys to work on the farm, under the directions of the industrial teachers, and of the largest girls to do the house work under the directions of the matron. The farm and garden consists of about fifty acres on which corn is raised for the stock and vepltables for the table. The hay is gathered off of the prairies, being natural prairie grass. The stock comprises about

fifty head of cattle, thirty-five head of hogs and four horses. The agency is composed of Capt. J. A. Scott, Indian agent, Col. Aten Allotment agent, Fred F. Lyden, clerk, Dr. J. W. Collard, physician, Daniel Collins, blacksmi'h, Louis Ferguson, wheelright (or ^agon maker) Hon. G. W. James, Director-General of the Reservation. (He is a resident of the reservation.)

Patterson, seamstress, Miss Annie Erickson, laundress, Miss Annie Delitz, cook. The employes all have furnished rooms in the building, but board themselves by forming a mess. The provisions are purchased by the superintendent for the employes and they each pay their share of the cost of the same pro rata, at the ena of each quarter, which is March 31st, JunaggSCth, October 30th and December 31st, Any of my friends desiring to write to me can address me as above, and I would be very^glad to hear from them.
