June 80, 1883, the General Land Office
reports show the area of the Indian
Territory to be 90, ,253 square miles, or
40, ,4S1 900 acres, of which Il. AT $40 acres
are unsurveyed. The pan handle COM
prises 5,ess square miles, or 4,l54 ,24O
acres.
Oklahoma proper will comprise about
81 ,0OO, 900 acres and furnish home OF
100 acres to 16S, $50 families, and count
ing five persons to each family would
give population equal to the State OF
Kansas in 1879, which would entitie it
to six Congressman and two Senators;
and accomplishing in three and a hall
years what Kansas did in eighteen;
because there are to-day thousands OF
people in each of the States of Kansas,
Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Min
nesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois
and Arkansas; not to mention Indiana,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky and 9TH
er States represented in the Colony, all
whom are anxious. to move into Okla
homa to stay. Men are standing ready
to go with saw mills to saw lumber, who
are now living In Pennsylvania, New
York, Missouri and other States, and
carpenters by the thousands to build
the houses and bridges. We are asked
from to 400 times o day such questions
as, "HOw soon do you think you will

THE Wetzel, w. Va, Democrat says:
Let us see about those books. Is there
any Credit Mobelier account there, any
entry of the millions of acres of public
lands stolen from the public and given
away to railroads? Is the Whiskey
Ring account all square and has the
government been paid its revenues and
are they accounted for. Turn over the
Star route and Pacific mail accounts
and let us see how they stand, oh daisy
book keepers! How many erasures,
how many alterations are upon those
pages? How many entries that should
have been made, were never made?
True, the Democratic Secretary says
that all the money is there that the
books show should be there, uut the
books may lie like the Marine Bank,
and certainly do lie by omission in the
above particulars.

Mr.. w. d. HowELIs's new novel,
"Indian Summer" which will begin in
the July HdrpeTs, is one of the results
of his residence in Florence two or three
years ago, describing, as il does, the ad-
ventures of a party of modern Ameri-
cans with that ancient city for artistic
background. The title foreshadows a
portion of the love-interest in the story,
one of the heroines being lady in the
"Indian summer of her life. 1t was
from this story that Mr.. Howells read
the amusing account of the haps and
mishaps at dancing party of man
who don't dance, which excited SC
much interest at the recent Authors
readings in New York in behalf of inter.
national copyright.

A chap up about Bellefontaine has
set about 10 sbustr Free Masonry. He
was once kicked by the goat, fell over
an ashlar, failed to climb the creased
pole, hooked the cable tow, lost the key
stone, killed old Hiram, tried to impose
on the craft, nosed about to find some
thing that wasn't lost, and made an ass
of himself generally. Now that the
masons are laughing at him, he stands
off at o distance making wry faces and
swearing that he will totally demolish
the order. Free Masonry must go un-

THE Ottawa County Ne,0s says: Re
publican papers have simple rule for
stirring up hatred to operate against the
Democratic party. If an Irishman gets
an Office they attempt to oarouse jealousy
among the German race; if German
gets an office, the Irish is besieged in
like manner; if Southern man gets an
Office, they howl erebeP' to keep up
sectional strife; if a Northern man gets
an Office, they yell "copperhead" till
people think he should be hated on ac-
count ofhis religion. If Republican
is removed from Office, the Republican
press yelp like ours with their tails cut
off. These papers are not edited by
raving lunatics, but are conducted by
men possessing machine politics, and
they think it a duty to let no opportun-
ity to pass to stir up hatred on the
slightest provocation.

THE Ohio intermediate Penitentiary
has been located at Mansfield. The
Commission drove hard bargain with
the city, as they have the "pen" pro-
vided the city bind itself that all rail-
roads centering in Mansfield shall make
the necessary connections and lay the
necessary side-tracks for the use of the
prison, free of all expense to the State;
that the ''Nypano" railroad is to erect
a passenger station Immediately adjoin-
ing the prison, and all passenger trains
must stop upon being signaled; that a
street go feet wide be located on the
South of the prison grounds to run
from Olivesburgh road to Main street,
which is sabout one mile In length, and
the same to be graded and macadamized
free Of fexpense to the State; that Main
street be macadamized to the intersec-
tion Of the above named street; that the
city extend its sewer system so as to
connect with that of the prison; that the
citizens secure the right of water for
ever from the owners of the Lingley
spring; that the citizens are to donate
80 acres of land, including the Nail
spring, which will cost $4,000. In
addition to the above they must give
bond for150 acres additional to be furn-
ished them any time in two years at an
expense not to exceed SIC, 900.
The Commissioners estimate the en-
tire cost Of the prison at 81 100000, and
the annual expense, when complete
and occupied, at about 100000. Ifthe
proposition Is accepted, which 1t will be,
work will be commenced on the prison

does not hurt his political nerves to
yank out old snags and put in new
teeth that cut closer to the cob. Time
is valuable, and he don't waste words.
While talking, one eye is on the clock
and the wall in front Of him, the other
on a pencil. He delights in the prize
puzzle business, and he makes capital
letters very plain.

catch on to their meaning, /. s. o.--in

mean:
