WASHINGTON, d. c., December 2-The
secretary of the interior IN his report first
relates the departmental history of Okla
lahoma. It says of the population of that
district:
"a careful estimate, based upon the judg-
ment of reliable men of the territory, makes
the present population of Oklahoma In
round numbers $4,000, of which 5000 per-
sons are distributed among twenty eight
towns
OF the Sioux commissions work, it says
that the total amount of lands coded to the
United States by the Sioux is almost $780,
600 acres.
The report then gives statistical informs
ton about the four new states.
The secretary recites the story OF the
labors of the Cherokee commission. but
confines it to q relation of facts already
known to the public.
Of the census of 1850 the report says: II
am assured by the superintendent that the
forthcoming census, as compared with any
previous one, will be more statistical ana
less scientific; more adapted to an actual
inventory to the nations progress in popu-
lation, industry and wealth, and less given

OAo9ulSlbAOuSs
OF Commissioner Sparks order suspend
ing all entries of land, Mr.. Noble says: In
view of the conditions of this order, it will
be perceived that it was aimed at and
affected only citizens of the United States
who were endeavor.ng to obtain lands by
acts of settlement and cultivation, and was
substantially an Indictment of all of them,
without regard to individuals, who were
seeking to obtain homes in the whole vast
territory mentioned. The source of such an
order can be traced only to the utter dlsre-
gard of the private reputation for integrity
of those citizens who had settled in this vast
western domain. The commissioner was
supported in this broad accusation by
others within the general land Office; and
had not the wisdom of a less suspicious ma
ture interviewed, the course of action might
have brought upon the country, not only
the greatest disgrace, but possibly internal
connections of serious magnitude. 1t led
Immediately to a vast accumulation of I'M
adjusted claims, and to general discour-
agement of settlement upon the public
domain.

porous and public-spirited men in To
peka is man named Noel, president o.
one of the national banks of the place
He formerly lived in Atchison, and mar.
ried Miss Phelps, granddaughter Of
the late Abram Weaver. When Mr.
Noel lived in Atchison, he was a stone
mason and worked by the day on the
wall. He did not prosper at days
work, and by fortunate chance he
was IN Lawrence soon after the de.
struction of that place by Quantrell
and fell into some good contracts. He
made sum out of these contracts, and
next drifted to Fort Scott and prospered
in the dry goods trade. Locating at
Topeka, he met Mr.. Letter, the great
Chicago dry goods dealer, who took a
fancy to him and went into projects
with him. These schemes made money,
and the two men continued in business
in various lines together. Mr.. Noel is
now interested in the bank. and is a
great man to invest his surplus cash in
buildings. 1t is Mr.. Noel's money that
is making such a handsome buildine
out of the old Tefft house.

Can just pick them up by hand on shore

They are gentle as lambs, and real tame

So it's not necessary to bring in that little
fee.
Now, friends, don't get such low notions on
rice,
That Spring Lake sells everything at half
price.
A spool of thread is hard to cut, five cents
down,
But one dollars worth of sugar may vary

Now, about postoffice-hiends, don't take

For all our mail may yet come out of a

Some will tire out and never get there, Eli.

And I'll give you good goods, at low prices
