The second, third, fourth and fifth prizes
on the census OF Indiana were awarded
many months ago, and were as follows:
Second prize. 500 in gold, Joseph Heck
man, Nashville, Ind.
Third prize, bicycle, Eli W. Bower,
Freetown, Ind.
Fourth prize, Mccormick reaper, J. n.
Alexander, Muncie, Ill.
Fifth prize, Standard typewriter, Richard
Aolb, Harrison township, Fayette county,
Indiana
The award of the first prize, the 500
Vose piano, has been delayed, owing to
the statement that the figures given out
by the census bureau, showing the total
population of the United States, to-wit.,
90, ,622, ,25O, were not final. being sub
ject to revision:when the enumeration Of
the Indians should be completed. Tue
SENTINEL is now officially advised, how
ever, by the Hon. A. F. Childs, acting
superintendent of census, that these figures
will stand as the official population of the
United States. "The number OF Indians"
says Mr.. Childs. in a letter just received
by THE SENTINEL, twas made the subject
of special investigation, and is not properly
included in the official population Of the United
States"
The award has, therefore, been made on
the basis of these figures, 90, ,622, ,25O,
which are given in the census reports,
the encyclopedias, almanacs aud other
authorities, as the official population of
the United States.
The first prize-the magnificent Vose
piano-is captured by Mr.. r. r. Olvy OF
Westfeld, Ind, and will be shipped to
him this week.
THE SENTINEL congratulates Mr.. Olvy
on his good fortune, as we'll as on his close
calculation, which shows him to be q man
of intelligence. 1t hopes to be able, in an
early issue, to print photograph of Mr..
Olvy and sketch of his life.
Many thousand guesses were received.
