The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1903-06-11

Ellis, of Hamilton; judge Of supreme
court, A. n. Summers, of Clarke; school
commissioner, E. A. Jones, of Stark;
member of board of public works, Geo.
III. Watkins. of Pike.
The chief significance of the conven-
ton was its Endorsement of Roosevelt
for 1904 and its reimbursement Of
Mark Hanna for senator.
Points of the Platform,
Following are the important points
of the platform adopted: The resolu-
ton first commend President Roose-
Kinley principles, and favor his NOM
nation, and the reelection of Hanna
as senator, and praise Governor Gen.
eral Taft, Of the Philippines; favor
three of the proposed (state) constitu-
tional amendments, maintenance OF
canals, better Yoadways, improvement
of the Ohio river and tax reform. No
change is wanted in the tariff or other
national declarations. Certain planks
insist on the enforcement of the
amendments for negro suffrage or the
reduction of the representation Of
southern states in congress and the
electoral college. The resolutions also
favor legislation to stimulate local
bank circulation.
Harmony Was the Great Desideratum.
Another feature of the convention
was the warm eulogy of Senator Ham
ma uttered by Foraker in his speech
as permanent chairman Of the conven-
ton. Senator Hanna said in his speech
as temporary chairman: Hands off,"
While Foraker was presiding asperma-
nent president the delegates added to
the ''h's" the cry of Hanna, Herrick,
Harding and harmony" 1t seemed to
be the policy to have harmony" on
the ticket as we'll as In the declara-
| ton Of principles. While all conceded
that it was "Hanna's year" yet be
would not use his influence except FOR
the head of the ticket in naming Ny
ron T. Herrick for governor.
No Fixing of the Slate.
| There never was more talk about fix
| ing q slate in advance Of the conven-
ton than this year, but the balloting
indicated that such was not the case.
At any rate Hanna and Herrick did
not exercise their personal influence
in giving the word, and left the hall

ONE CITY, ONE P0ST-OFFICE.
An Effort Being Made to Consolidate the
Post-of1ices in this City.

of the Superior, Wis, postotlice, held
this day, it was resolved:
THAT 1t is for the best interest Of
all concerned that consolidation of
the several postotlices i'll this city how
take place and that such consolidated
office be known as Superior, provided
we can thereby secure independent
stations at Superior East End South
Superior and possibly for AIlouez and
Itasca with free delivery at these sew
eral points, and adequate service III
ali respects to meet the wants of those
several communities, and such i'm
provements in the mail service
throughoutthe city as may be brought
about by such consolidation
"Resoved furthur that we are OPP
posed to such consolidation unless the
foregoing conditions and improved
service can be brought about, and we
are opposed to drawing South super
ior, Allouez and Itasca into this con
solidation unless the people of those
communities assent to the same.
Resolved further, that commit
tee consisting James Bardon Hiram
Hiram Hayes and ID f Roberts be
appointed to secure such consolda
ton and improved service and to con
fer with the postohice department
and the postmasters and communi-
ties effected"
Owing to the fact that no repre-
sentatlVes from the South End or the
Trans Nemadji district were present,
the meeting thought best not to speak
for those parts OF the city, hence the
clause in the resolutions relating to
to them.
South Superior held a public meet
ing at the st. James hotel Wednesday
evening and passed resolutions in
favor OF consolidating the post offices.
1t looks at this time as though there
would be little il amy opposition to
the movement.

He was not very good witness for

young man who is but 20 years of age
gave no evidence of brutal nature,
but his conduct as "A witness showed
him TO be considerable below the

J. Bryan last night issued a statement
regarding the decision in the matter
Of the bequest in the sealed letter
which accompanied the Bennett Will.
He said in part:
THE court in effect declared thai
the bequest would have been good If it
had been made direct as Mr.. Bennett
suggested, but that under the decision
the letter cannot be probated in the
absence of proof showing that it was
actually in existence at the moment
when the will was executed. If tn
bequesC fails it will not be the fault OF
Mr.. Bennett but my fault, and this
point will be determined by the higher
court. am much better pleased with
the decision then / would have been il
the court had decided for me on the

ion on the question Of undue influence

MORGAN RAISES
AN OBJECTION

Washington, Nov. Senator Nor

gress convenes in the extra session
he will introduce a resolution calling
on the senate foreign committee TO
obtain from the state department a
detailed report of the relations be
tween the United States and Colon
bia under the treaty of 1876. Accord
ing to Mr.. Morgan the attitude of this
country is not justified by a careful
construction of the provisions of the
treaty and is at variance with @prece-
dents laid down by the United States.
Colombia means to war" he said.
"Of that | am certain. This govern
ment will find it will have a series of
complications on its hands not unlike
that offered by the Indians when they
were met with in the territorial agrees
sion of this government and the
trouble the Colombians will make
will be similar to that of the Fill

K|CKAPOOS co
TO OLD MEXICO
ONCE A POWERFUL TRIBE BUT
FEW LEFT NOW.
LESS THAN 700 IN ALL
No Ceremonial Attached to Marriage
and Crimes Generally Very Rare
A Peaceful People Many of Whom
Left Old Home to Escape the Civil
War.

South McAlester, l. T., Nov. THE
last of the Kickapoo Indians have
shaken the dust of the Indian Terrific
ry from their feet and hereafter they
will pay allegiance to the red, white
and green flag of Mexico,
Once the Kickapoos were a power
full tribe and ruled over a large and
fertile section of the Missouri valley.
At the height of their power the tribe
was said to number nearly 10000, Now
there are less than 700.
During the civil war the Kickapoos,
being a peaceful people, fed to MeXi-
co and settled in a fertile valley in
the state of Coahuila After the war
all but 176 of them returned to the In
dian Territory. The descendants of
those who remained in Mexico now
number 442, while of the Az who were
in the territory thirty years ago only
1874 are left The last of these have
gone now to join the rest of the tribe
in Mexico.
In the territory with the advance of
civilization, the tribe found itself
slowly but surely becoming extinct
Finally the death rate became so high
that the tribal councillors decided the
only thing left for them was to get as
far away from civilization as possible.
The Mexican absentees had invited
them several times to join them in
Gno ut
WOW of the whole tribe it was decided
to accept the invitation. The Mexican
government took kindly to the scheme,
too, and gave the tribe a grant of all
the land embraced in the valley in
which they had originally settled.
The Indians will farm enough for
their own supply and engage in stock
raising for profit. This with the in
come from their lands in the Indian
Territory will afford them a good liv-
ing.
The KickapOos have the least cere-
monious marriage custom of any tribe
When a buck takes liking to a maid
en- and she reciprOcates the affection
they simply start housekeeping with
out further ado. There is no domestic
scandal among them, husbands and
/ wives are true to each other and the
quiet understanding does them just as
| well IS the more ornate ceremonies of
other tribes. Crime among them is
! very rare. Robbery is something they
know nothing of, and murder is ex-
! tremely rare.
