Gallagher, Of Indiana, the newly appointed In
dian Agent for Pine Ridge Agency. Dakota, is
going 10 make the best Agent the 0galalla In
dians ever had. lie went at his duty like au
old veteran. Ills first work was TO count all
the Indians under his charge lie next received
their Winter supply Of beef, cattle, clothing,
etc. The Indians we're very glad 10 be relieved
of their old Agent. They held council with
their new Agent, and Red Cloud said he was
glad that the Great Father took pity on his
people at last In giving them a good Agent and
a man that had good heart. Red Cloud told
all has young men 10 obey the orders of their
new Father and 10 scatter out and take up
land. which they all promised 10 do next
Spring. Col. Gallagher told them that he
would do his best for them, that he would treat
them well and that he would treat them all
alike; he would not have any pets" This
made the Indians feel happy, as there had been
great trouble and jealousy among the Indians
heretofore because the old Agent had his pets
who would make good speech for him when
ever an inspector came around.-E&-SoLDIER,

JACKSON COURT HOUSE, AUG. IA.

We, the undersigned, voters of
Jackson county, believing that the
liquor traffic is an organized con-
spiracy against the peace, prosperi-
ty and happiness of our people,
and a constant and threatening
menace to the very life of our Re-
public; that it is the prolific source
of human woe and wretchedness
that it is the relentless debaucher
of the morals of our youth, and the
merciless destroyer of manhood and
womanhood that it is the fruitful
source of high and oppressive tax
alton, as well as of crime and liti-
CATION; that it is the great produ-
GER of anarchists, rioters and COM
munists; that it is the fountain of
iniquity constantly sending forth
stream OF death, too destructive
to our social and material interests
to be concealed or palliated, too
powerful and british to be regula-
ted, too devastating and insolent to
be borne, and too cruel and mon
strous not to excite the indigna-
ton and call forth the organized
opposition of Christian manhood
and exalted patriotism; and be-
lieving that the time has fully
come when the voice of God and

On Saturday last, August 7th, in
response to the call published in
THE FREEMAN, a large number of
the Prohibitionists of Richie
county, good and true, assembled
at the Court House at 10 80 a. M.
The Convention was called to
order by Hon. D. McGregor, Chair
man of the Executive Committee,
and all who had signed the "call"
or were willing 80 to do, were
invited to seats.
The Convention was opened with
prayer by Rev. e. J. Wilson of the
M. E. Church. Prof. J. s. Corn
we'll was elected Chairman, and
acknowledged the honor in brief
address full of Prohibition facts,
faith and good cheer.
Mr.. J. ]. Sigler was elected
Secretary.
On motion, the Chair appointed
the following
Committee ON Resolutaons-Rev. D.
M. Sleeth, DR.. M. S. Hall, Rev. e.
J. Wilson, Geo. Rutherford and
Gen. T. M. Harris.
ADVERSELY HON. T. R. CARsKADoN,
OF KFYsER.
Mr.. Carskadon, being introduced
by the Chairman, proceeded to
deliver one of the truest and best
political addresses ever heard by
Richie county audience. We say
this advisedly, not that Richie
county has not had able speakers
on the political platform before,
but believing this to have been
the first able address that was
distinctively a political Prohibition
speech and therefore the truest and
best.
The speaker eloquently showed
the necessity for the new party, be-
cause of the corruptions of the old,
and their refusal and inability to
grapple with the living issues of
the day.
"The Democrats have a party"
said he, "the Republicans have a
party, but the people have had
none" Now, in the young and
growing Prohibition party, the
People have a champion for their
rights and a protector for their
homes.
But, with so manv conventions,
calls and meetings, for THE FREE
NAM, this week, we have no room
to extend these notes.
The Court House was packed, all
standing room being crowded, and
the people listened intently for
more than an hour to the eloquent
truths and logic of Prohibition.
At the close of the address, Rev.
