A few months ago and to the east OF
the Hills lay the Indian reservation.
Today settlers are scattering oyer
the vast tract and every mail brings
notices OF new towns. Before us lies
volume 1, number one OF the Nowlin Re.
porter, published at Nowlin, Nowlin
county, South Dakota, and edited by T.
H. Commit. It is a six-column folio and
contains a great deal OF news for a very
young town. Nowlin is located in the
Bad river valley, about seventy miles
west OF Pierre and expects to be at the
crossing OF the Midland Pacific and Chi
cago and Northwestern railroads. The
Reporter will be an independent republi-
can paper and states; eve will be no
mans man, nor no mans organ but our
own" The platform is a good one.
Long may it stand.

One feature OF the last Saturday.
Republican we heartily commend
Those wonderful cuts, the coming O.
which has been SO long heralded, were
left to stand on their own merits. Nc
claim was made to their being original
the stamp OF the Omaha manufacturers
was left intact. 1t is quite a common
practice to cut off trade marks and un.
blushingly assert that "all the work was
done in this Office" Honesty is the
best policy even in paper work and if the
Republican has arrived at this conclu-
sion we shall believe the day of miracles

The Hot Springs Star has completed
Its fourth year and makes the usual bow.
The UNION extends congratulations.
We consider the Star above the average
of our exchanges. While in all matters
we cannot agree with it, yet for a par
tisan paper we have found it liberal and
quite independent. On many issues, and
particularly on low interest and the tax.
alton of securities, the Star was with
the people. Long may it shine.

THE HURON CONVENTION.

The call has been issued for the ALI
ance convention. 1t will be held at
Huron June 4th. 1t is probable that
ere this appears all local alliances have
received official notices and in many
cases delegates have been chosen. Every
alliance is entitled to one delegate and
if they have a membership of thirty
eight, to two, and in all cases alternates
should be elected. We hope every alli-
ance that has taken no action in this
matter will at once call a special meeting
Tor the election OF delegates and discus
sion OF matters to come before the con-
vention. Choose delegates and alter
mates who will attend. By driving
across the reservation the cost OF the
trip will be but little, the time lost will
be the greatest item, but we can afford
to sacrifice something to be present and
have our locals represented at this time
when matters OF SO vital importace,
not only to alliance men, but farmers
generally, are to be considered. Do not

tied to delegates, any member OF the
alliance that a. possibly attend should
do so. Although without a vote, every
member of the alliance will be entitled
to a seat in the convention. Make your
arrangements to attend and let us see
for ourselves OF what material the mem
bership and officers OF the alliance in
eastern Dakota is composed. At a
later date the time for the meeting ofthe
Black Hills delegation at the Cheyenne
river crossing will be fixed. The PEN
nington county members and those OF
adjoining counties to whom this point
is convenient will meet at The UNION
office Saturday. May 24th, at 2 p. m. to
complete arrangements for the overland
trip.

ers association which is brought to light
by the Clark county Democrat. It's
subsistence is that $4,000 was pledged
and a portion paid in by members OF
above association to be used for the
benefit OF Dakota sufferers, but on the
introduction OF two bills, one to pre-
vent usury and the other to tax mort
cages, which bills they considered detri-
mental to their interests, no further
steps were taken in raising or paying the
$4,000. Those bills were however de-
feated and the members OF the associa-
ton are congratulated that it only lost
5000 in the senate to accomplish that
end as against $1,000 the year before.
The balance Of the promised funds are
now called in and the $4,000 will go
to the suffers, (from high interest and
fraudulent le~gislation.) More develope-
ments are promised.

Some people do not seem to understand
the status of the Indian on the reservation,
which has been open to settlement. 1t is
simply this: If the Indian had actually
been living on the reservation when it was
opened he may take the claim in severalty,
and also the land adjoining for his children,
and he has nine months from the date when
the government notifies him of that fact
IN which to make up his mind, during
which time he can take it or leaye and 20
on the reservation not opened, and either
take land in severalty there or continue
the tribal relation. If he takes land in
severalty, on or off the reservation, his
tribal relation ceases end he becomes a
voter and a citizen; but he cannot select
or take new land not occupied at the time
OF the opening of the reservation by him,
except in tae unopened reservation. So
no settler need be worried about Indians
making claim to anything not occupied by
