The Enumeration ef Reds ON the Reser-
walton Com pietsd.
ST. PAUL, Jan. 8.-A. T. Lea and
George M. Fisher have arrived in the
city. Mr.. Lea Is . special Indian in
spector for the government, appointed
to take y census Of the Indians on the
great Sioux reservation, and Mr.. Fisher
is his assistant. The work of enumerat-
ing the Indians has occupied about two
years and has just been completed. It
Is the first complete and accurate enum-
eration that has ever been made OF the
indians on the reservation, and will be
made the basis for future legislation re-
lating to them. The number Of fam
lilies mt the different agencies and
among the different tribes ON the reser-
vAtion is shown by the following:
Standing Rock, LIST; Cheyennes ut
Pine Ridge, 700; Pine Ridge, 1877;
Cheyenne Indians, 1876; Rosebud, 1901;
Lover Brule, 500; Grow Creek. 834;
santees of Flaudran, rs; Poncas ut San
tee agency, 56; Santees on the reserva-
ton, 1y7; total families, 5,972.
The total number OF Indians on the
reservation was found to be 20.675, of
whom 0,7D2 are males and 10,94 fe-
male& This is about 9. 500 less than the
number who have been drawing rations.
AT ono or two points whore the number
ackually existing was considerably less
than the number for which rations were
issued there was some opposition by the
Indians to the enumeration, but Com
missioner Lea succeeded in getting the
count. Included in the above total are
428 Cheycnnes now at Fort Keogh, who
fed to that roint during the troubles
following the ghost dance.

Senator sherman Easily Defeats For
aker In the Ohio Senatorial
Caucus
He Is Placed In Nomination on the
First Ballot by Vote OF
5S to 3S.
David u. Hill Sworn i'm as Senator
from New York without Oppcsi-
tion--Congressional.

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. S.---John sherman
will succeed himself rs senator from
Ohio. He was nominated rs the Re
publican candidate by the legislative
caucus here on the first ballot, receiving
5s votes to Foraker's 80.
As expected the Foraker and Sher-
man men first locked horns in the senar
torial caucus on the question OF how the
ballots should be taken--secret or viva
voce. The Foraker men urged . secret
ballot on the ground that 1t had been
charged that . number Of members Were
being coerced. They wished, they said,
to relieve all members of restraint. The
Sherman men contended that each mem-
Der represented constituency, that he
was supposed to vote their wishes, and
they should have the privilege Of KNOW
ing whether he represented them on mis-
represented them. Fully an hour was
spent in debate ON this question and
was finally decided by u vote. The
vote stood AZ in favor OF viva voce vote
to A for secret ballot. 1t was thus evi-
den. that some Sherman men wanted a
secret ballot and some excitement fol-
lowed the vote.
Candidates Nominated.
Senator Nichols presented the name OF
Senator Sherman in an eloquent speech,
dwelling upon his record rs financier.
Representative Griffin presented the
name of ex- Governor Foraker, expatiat-
ing upon his soldier record. Numerous
seconding speeches to both these nom
nations were made. Representative
Welsh, in what must have been his
maiden speech, presented Major Nc.
Kinley's name, bat it was soon after
ward withdrawn by telegram from
Major Mckinley. This did not deter
Welsh, however, from voting for his
candidate. Representative Dicks pre-
sented the name of Charles Foster. Al
the ballot proceeded there was no dem
onstration except that when Porter
of Cleveland, a doubtful man, voted foi
Foraker, the Foraker men shouted, and
Wueu EuuuSJsr VI SLONCAduus a1hOtACA
doubtful man, voted for Sherman, the
Sherman men raised whoop. The
ballot resulted: Sherman, 53; Foraker
3S; Foster 1; Mckinley, l. Necessary
to choice AZ.
Sherman and Foraker Speak.
After the vote was an ounced both
Sherman and Foraker were brought te
the hall. Senator Sherman spoke first
and after thanking the members of. the
caucus. complimented Mr.. Foraker
upon his fight, saying it was the hardest
fight he had ever entered, and he hoped
ne would never have him for an op
ponent again.
Ex-Governor Forker spoke in good
natured way, saying he did not foreses
when he entered the fight that when q
man begins to fight John Sherman hs
has to fight the whole United States.

did not have any preaching at Ruhamah

School and prayer meeting. Both are
very we'll attended. We hope to see more
interest taken in the Sunday-School.
Come out, boys and girls, and join US in

Mr.. Joseph Winter is building an addi-

Well, Mr.. Editor, Mr.. Tillman hasont
got US all yet and hope he never will.
I do not see how his principles will be q
benefit to the laboring classes. In my
humble opinion, taking the taxes off the
great moneyed concerns of the country,
and substituting three dollar poll tax in
its place, is not going to help US poor fell
lows much. 1t is this: Take the taxes
off the landowner and put 1t upon his
poor tenant. DIDASKALOS.

Well, we have had few days of sun.

We have had some very heavy rains,
and much damage haI been done. Mr..
Albert Kay, of the City, remarked in our
presence the other day that If there had
not been so much grass in the country,
the land would have all been washed
away.
While on the way to Church last Sun

were occupants of the buggy, were thrown
out and slightly hurt.
One Of our girls says she has read 80
much about leap year that it has about
put her out of notion Of getting married,
bat I think she is joking.
A certain young lady In this commu-
nifty says she wishes Boss T.. would not

comes to see her. That's right, Boss, get
on the good side of the old man and you
are elected.
