A Rip-ROaring Rumpus,

The northern part Of the township Of Wal
lace has come into nOtoriety this week in the
suit instituted by Bridget eastman against
Joseph CorcOran, festive youth of that re-
gion. 1t seems that COrcoran, who is the son
of well-to-do farmer of the township, left
for Nebraska in the spring and returned on
Sunday. The next day Miss eastman ap-
peared before Esq. Larkin and swore out o
warrant for the arrest of Corcoran, charging
him with being the father of Il male child born
unto her on May 18th last. Constable Jim
Cross arose early Tuesday morning and softly
stole away to the house of CorcOran, and per-
suaded Joseph to get up and accompany him
back to Ottawa, which the young man accord
ingly did. Esq. Larkin granted him contin-
uance, in bonds of 81 900, until next Wednes-
day at 8 O'Clock. There |, considerable ex-
citement in the neighborhuod both parties to
the suit having their abettors aud hackers,
and when 1t finally leaked out that Joe was
nipped and taken to Ottawa, many of the
friends aforesaid of both parties came in to
partake in the racket. There has been much
bad blood between the families on both sides.

AL Thomas was requested to resign yesterday
and to. dav Scott Barnard takes his place. MIR.
Thomas has been connected with the canal
for about IS years, and during that time
nroyed himself to be an efficient and valuable
officer. He had charge Of the state, max

dorsed for retention as assistant canal super
intendent by all the principal shippers AT La
Sale, Utica, Ottawa, Seneca, MarseilleS ana
Morris with only few exceptions. with one
execution, La Sale county supervisor, he
received the unanimous endorsement OF the
county boards of both La Sale and Grundy
counties, and the unanimous endorsement Oh

held as a canal official. If Mr.. Barnard, his
successor, will do all that his predecessor has
done for the canal interests, its patrons VIII

AN INDIAN CENSUS SURPRISE.

Gen. Sherdan's recent visit to the Indian
territory is likely to result in an important
saving to the government, aside from what.
ever other Important good it has accom-,
plished. One of his first steps on reaching
Fort Reno was to order count of all the
Cheyennes and Arapahoes, so that he
might know just how many he had to feed
or fight. All the chiefs assented 10 the
proposal, plenty of time was taken, runners
were sent out, and the announcement was
made that the count was TO be full, as the
issue OF government rations would hereaf.
ter be based on this count.
To the astonishment of everybody the
enumeration showed only 3,2T7 persons
that Is 1,26s Arapahoes were counted and
2,l67 Cheyennes, while hitherto, AMI for
the past eleven years, rations had been reg
ularly charged to the government as issued
to 1850 Arapahoes and 1906 Cheyennes, or
2,ooS more lndians-bucks, squaws and
children-than were In the tribes 10 eat
them! Were these nearly double ration.
actually issued to the Indians: They say
not, but that each family or individual
drew as they appeared In person and
claimed their rations What then became
of the 2,sss extra daily rations which there
were no Indians TO call forg They cost
the government nearly 100000 year
who got that money!
The salary of an Indian agent is 81 800
a year; yet these agencies are greedily
sought after, and though few men with
families can live comfortably in the Indian
country on $500 year, yet with rare ex.
cepuoss the agents are said to retire rich
after few years Of service. May not the
discoveries that surprised Gen Sheridan
throw light on the mystery

The Democratic lawyers and politicians
are somewhat backward with the PROPOSE
ton that the principle of non-partlsan Juc;
dietary requires the Republican voters OF
this largely Republican Supreme judicial
District 10 elect a Democratic Justice OF
the Supreme Court as successor to the late
Judge Dickey. 1t is not too early 10 hear
from them on this subject, and still there
must be a cause Tor their reticence, Nha'
is it it?-Chic0go JORrnaI.
The Democratic politicians were con
sstent In supporting Judge Dickey's e.ec'
ton as a non partisan, because he was such
strictly, besides being the ablest and best
man in the field. If they have another
man like him he ought 20 be brought out
and elected at once. The district Is so
largely republican, however, having given
that party 10000 majority last year, and 1t
was not a good year for republicans either,
that the democrats can at best be "mere
passengers in the selection of Judge
Dickey's successor. The Springfield Reg-
tster shows its Indifference to politics in the
matter by urging ex,Gov John NJ. llamll-
ton for the place. Chicago itself, however,
has much better timber. Thomas Dent or
Melville w. Fuller for instance, the cleo
ton of either of whom would be an honor
to the district.

held there during the second week In Aug
est, have put in busy weeks work, and
the ground shows that they haye been in
earnest.
Those who visited the Rock some weeks
aco, when the place was first suggested as
possible camp ground, would scarcely
know it now, cleared, as the east end has
been, of underbrush, dead trees, &c. The
whole ground intended for the camp is
nearly as clean as park. All trees have
been trimmed and the brush carried away
out of sight, the grass has been moved
and cleared of dead leaves, brushwood and
OTHER dirt natural to neglected forest
turf; while the open field to be used as
parade and drill ground has been moved
and cleared Off The turf yesterday was
brown with the heat of the sun, but a good
rain any time before the coming of the
troops would give the Rock beautiful
greon turf, which would be free from dust
and maize the camp and drill grounds as
inviting as soldier on civilian could wish.
1t is said that on Sunday last not less
than 800 people visited the Rock. We
wonder how many of the 500 were ever
there before. Probably not one In fifty,

Indians.

The decision of President Cleveland, on
the report of Gen. Sheridan, to annu the
grass leases of the cattle men in the Indian
territory as regards the lands OF the Chey-
ennes and Arapahoes, has led to petition
of the Cherokees, asking that the lease of
about 100000 acres of their lands to the
cattlemen be also annulled AS the CherO.
KEGS, however, own their own lands, which
the Cheyennes did not, their leases are re
garded as more binding. The cattlemen
are terribly distressed over the Presidents
order to vacate the leased lands in 40 days,
and are besieging the President for more
time, but he appears to be immovable.
