Indianapolis Journal: The Journal feels that it cannot render better service to any and all of its readers who think of going to Oklahoma than by advising them earnestly and strongly not tedoso. Under any circumstances a person who is doing even fairly well in a State like Indiana, or making a bare living by hard work, should hesitate ab mt migrating to a new country where the opportunities of doing well are few and the competition very great. But Oklahoma does not offer the ordinary attractions of new Territories. The amount of land opened to settlement is only about 2,000,000 acres, and a good deal of this is unfit for agriculture. Even if it were all good land it would only furnish 12,250 homestead entries of 160 acres each, and there are five times that number of persons now ed on the borders of the Territory waiting to rush in and possess it. This number is increasing every day by the arrival of persons who do not stand the ghost of a chance of getting land. The army of who have pre-empted the territory mean to have it, and it will go haid with a new-comer who tries to “jump a claim.” The fact is, Oklahoma, just now, is about the best place in the country to keep away from. Ninety per cent, of those who go there will waste theif time aud money.

It is an outrage upou the cpurte and tai-payers that the time and money must be spent to following up the crooked and disreputable 'work ot the late United States district attorney. The disclosures made in the cases brought to trial show that methods hardly less than criminal were resorted to in procuring indictments. Witnesses were threatened, their statements distorted, and every possible underhand means used to juggle the evidence brought before the jury. In addition to this the indictments ■ were drawn with fate! defects that any but the veriest ignoramus i must have discovered, and that Could not possibly escape the attention of lawyers for the defense. That the entire investigation, so- - i i

c&lled, into reported election frauds, as conducted by the democratic gang. was a farce and intended solely for political effect is too plain for denial. Every deuiociat, as well as everv Republican, knows it, and that all the outcry raised by the cheap-John organs of the former party is produced in a perfunctory and mechanical way, and has not a spark of honesty behind it nor a wish for genuine reform. The best sentiment of the community is to ifavor of honest elections, and the punishment of all persons, irrespective of party, who attempt to interfere with or to corrupt them. In Indiana, as in other states, the ras--1 cals who have paid the penalty of such crimes have been brought to justice by Republicans, and this is likely to be the case in the future. Certainly nd aid is to be had from the other party, if the scandalous proceedings in tie former district attorney’s office can he fa Iran as an indication.—indianpolis Journal

GAS AND OIL.

Both Found in Considerable Quantities In Gillam Town- - o'- ship. ( Winamac Kepubliean. The Readers of the Republican will remember that three weeks ago the announcement was made in these columns that Mr. James GuiljJ, who lives three and a half miles northwest of Medaryville, had found natural gas in a well he was driving for water. On Saturday last, James Campbell, who lives a mile west of Mr. Guild’s, was sinking a well for water • i his farm, when at the depth of 110 feet, the drill struck a fine quality of black lubricating oil. Indications are that there is an abundance of the oil, and Mr. Campbell is making preparations to test the quantity Inputting in a powerful pump. We promise a report off the test in due time. Gas was encountered at a depth of some fifty feet, and the flow was so strong that drilling further was postponed. The well remained o]>en for three weeks, and seemed to get stronger. The roar of the escaping gas annoyed the family in sleeping at first and Mrs. Guild became afraid of this unusual find. Then Mr. Guild concluded to drill further and close off the gas and obtain a-stow of water. A few days ago he began to realize that he had lost a good thing, and set to work to drill another well for gas. He was successful, obtaining a flow which threw mud and gravel at least 75 feet high when struck. The well is now throwing out a volume of fluid sufficient to make a blaze 10 feet high and- four feet through. These facts were related to us on Monday by some of the most reliable citizens of Medaryville, and we have ho reason to dispute them. Mr. Guild will soon pipe the gas into his house for fueL • 4 Point In Question.

Bearing on the matter of failure to return taxables for taxation an interesting case is now pending in the Supreme ip appeal from this county. It is a suit to recover 8875 taxes due. Cass county against an estffte. In 1886 this estate was in ventdried at $27,851.03. The same year this estate was returned for taxation at $6,402. In 1888 the administrator returned for taxation property valued at $9,000, and following that, filed a final report in which he distributed 823,299.59. The county is therefore seeking to recover the amount of tax due amounting to $875 as stated above. This is a good test case and attracts considerable attention.—Logansport Journal. Averted a llrldg(Ml>isaster. On last Sunday morning, about 2:20 o’clock, as the north bound Monon passenger train had jiassed Corwin, north of Crawfordsville, the noticed a man with a light on the track, waving something. The train was stopped, and it was ascertained that a bridge, thirty feet long and fifteen feet high, across Wea creek, was on fire. If the train had not been stopped it would have been wrecked, as the timbers were burned away in several places. The trainmen took buckets and put out the fire and replaced timbers under the rails so that the train could proceed. The man who signaled the train was named JotmHarper, who lives near the bridge, hud who had seen the light from his bedroom window. This is tlic third time this bridge has been on fire within a short time, and it is regarded as a case of attempted trainwrecking. t Death of Mrs Harriet A. Douthlt.

Mrs. Harriet A. Douthit, wife of Jas. AV. Douthit. died at her home in Rensselaer, Tuesday morning, April 16, 1889, atj2 o’clock, after a lingering illness of “about a year’s duration.

INDIAN HORSEMANSHIP.

B*markable KqnaatriM Pafurmaaeaa of an Arapahoe Band. i < Giron * hone, a man animated by tha ' 'reckless daring likely to come of a wild, ! free life, and the Centaur of ancient fable may be fairly realised. A correspondent, haring visited an Arapahoe camp, gives the following account of an Indian drill, ordered for Ids amusement: Fifty fine-looking young men, mounted upon ponies, drew up before the tents. At a signal from the chief they began' their ' , evolutions, with a loud yell. In a moment they disappeared over a ! neighboring hill. Then theiu suddenly rose a mighty trampling of horses’ feet, and ; they swept past again, so compact that I i only saw a ball made of horses and men. Splitting in two, one body swept to the I right and another to' the left, and again they disappeared. Presently they charged , each other, in solid lines, and while the spectator waited breathlessly for the shock ' of collision, the files skilfully opened to the ! right and left, and the lines passed through the intervals without thouching. Now came the moment for displaying in- I dividual horsemanship. Some of the riders 1 approached, each lying so close to his pouy’a back that nothing but the horse could be seen. Some hung to the horse by one foot . and one hand, so that their bodies was completely protected by those of the ponies. The young warriors also threw objects . upon the ground, and picked them up at full gallop, and drew bows and shot arrows from beneath the horse’s necks. Some of the men exchanged horses while riding. Again; a man would fall from his horse, as ifflwounded, and two others, riding up beside him, would take him by an arm and a leg. swin’g him their horses, and carry him off. The exhibition lasted nearly two hours, and at its close, men and horses were completely exhausted. All that evening the human performers lay in their lodges, while she Indian women brought them food, ; bathed their limbs and combed their hair. To the Ladles of Jasper and Adjoining Counties.
