SUNDAY AT CAMP FLEMING,
The "Paper- Weight" of the Ledger
Spends the Day There and Tells
What He saw.

Last Sunday was an ideal day,
and several Mexico people thought
that there was no better and more
pleasant place TO spend it than at
Camp Fleming. They we're right.
There are few lovelier spots in the
county, and a more congenial crowd
than the campers cannot be found.
Their hospitality and generosity can.
not be rivalled. On week days the
fun and pleasure never ceases. and
Sunday everything falls in accord
with Sabbath and the profit and in
nocent pleasure is no less enjoyed
than at other times.
When the LEDGER" paper weight"
or ''pencil-pusher' Gust as you
choose) arrived Sunday morning
the young people all assembled
in the shade of some large trees en-
gagged in divine services. Misses
Ethel Galloway and Emma Hiner
sang a lovely duet, the rest Joining
in on the chorus. We wish that we
had the power to describe the effect
that this singing produced ove the
hearers as it waited off through the
woods and across the water. More
songs were sung, and then some
good remarks were made by each
person, after which Prof. Torreyson
read aloud the sermon by Talmage,
found inSaturday evenings LEDGER.
The little congregation afterwards
sang "Nearer, My God, to Thee"
and the doxology and we're dismiss
ed.
Short strolls and lazy conversa-
tons, besides numerous little boat
rides, occupied their time till dim
ner. There is a stretch of water a
half mile long, on which the gallant
"Knights of the Woods" continual
ly row their lady-loves from the rise
of Old Sol till the camp fire is start
ed. There are some picturesque
places along the banks, and some
little crooks and shady hooks, SEEM
ingly made just for "swamping."
And how they do "swamp." Aus
tin Smith and Charley Buckner had
rather do that than come to their
meals. By.the-way, those meals and
those appetites. At about 2 O'Clock
the noon meal was served (no quicker
served than eaten, either) and all set
down to an open air feast fit for the
gods.

As TO roNCA INDIANS.

w. C. Eamseyer. manager Of tie
Ponca Indian baseball club, speaks as
follows in Kansas City Journal re-
garding Ponca Indilns and their
lands:
ain sure il will be a long time be
fore the lands of the Poncas are
thrown open to settlement unless the
government acquires them in some
other way than by purchase with
consent of the Poncas The feeling
among the members of the tribe is
very largely against selling their
lands The Poncas are well fixed
financially and do not need the money
which the land would bring and are
not forced to sell Their reservation
contains the most fertile lands in the
territory and they prefer to hold 1t
themselves. The tribe has good
sum of money out at interest which
brings in good revenue and they are
able to make good living out OF their
lands. The Poncas are among the
most intelligent of the tribes which
are located in the Indian territory.
! Many OF them are educated and know
| how to read aud write English They
are pretty shaip p as rule and know a
/ good thing when they have one. and
! that Is why they are anxious to hold
/ on to their lands.

rEARFUL REMARKS FROM KANSAS.

The Pophlists of shawnee county,
Kansas, have been inspecting their
idol, GOV. Lewelling, aud have dis
covered, large, juicy deposits Of plain,
common clay where they thought
there was pure gold or at worst moth
ling cheaper than sterling silver.
Therefore in solemn convention AS
sembled, they have adopted this de-
mand:
''Resolyed, That we demand that
the Populist state central committee
be called together and that said COM
nittee take l. ID. Lewelling off said
ticket, and that they substitute in his
place some reputable man as the cah-
didate of the Peoples Party for gov
ernor"
The complainants in Shawnee are
not SO unreasonable as to make this
demand without stating the ground Of
their grievance They assert that the
governor has failed TO secure proper
administration of the police depart
ments in the larger cities, which the
resolution states. are under his direct
control. and ''are organized TO protect
and encourage saloons, joints, dives.
and houses of prostitution II is also
states that 'such encouragement IS
given in order that those ia authority
may les ~ tribute upon those in charge
Of such dives and brothels for their
own personal gains. II is sad, but
not altogether disheartening, 10 learn
that party which promised to re-
form all abuses and give the people an
ideal government Is impeded ia its re-
formatory cause by an unsatisfactory
executive II the charges against
Lewelling are truc, his uame at the
head Of the ticket will be tower of
strength TO Colonel Oyermyer, his
Democratic competitor.

The square in its present condition
IS burning disgrace to the city. Not
only is the band stand wrecked, but
the fences are dilapidated and in spots
missing. while great wagons, contain
ing heavy loads, make deep, jagged
ruts all over the grond. During a
rain these juts are washed into gull
lies and small creeks, which traverse
the square in all directions. Vehicles
have no right to roll over the square,
and a stringent ordinance, with pen

II the councilmen wish 10 have the
