TRADERS EXPECT HARVEST
Government Money for Indians Will
Pay Bills Long Due.

Merchants in the Indian country are
laying in large stocks of goods pre-
paratory to the cash payment of 1885,
600 to the Indians, which is expected
in month. 1t is many years since
such large payment has been made
and as Indians are liberal spenders
merchants are looking for good
trade.
After several years of lobbying
traders have finally secured a ruling
whereby any Indian who owes them,
and signs an acknowledgment of the
fact, will have any moneys coming to
him from the government or from the
sale of lands applied on that indebt-
edness by the government until his
debts are paid in FULL No debts con-
tracted since 1909 will be collected by
the government. This ruling applies
to all Indian traders in the Northwest
and will reimburse large number of
merchants who have carried Indian
accounts for many years.

STRIKE, BUT HEAR

1t has been called to my attention
that my opponent, in seeking the office
of Clerk of Courts, is using as an argu-
ment, and stating for a fact, that the
work of the clerks office for the past
year has been performed by deputy
and not by myself as Clerk of Courts
1t is difficult to understand upon what
he bases such an argument as he has
never been in the office. but has
been living at Watertown during
my entire term with the possible ex-
ception of the past month or two.
Such unfair arguments, however,
might receive some little consideration
if permitted to stand uncontradicted,
and as the Spring term of Court, and
and the work in this office incident
thereto, will probably prevent me from
seeing all of the electors personally, |
take this opportunity and this method
of refuting such misrepresentation, by
making the following propositions:
| hereby invite Mr.. Obershaw, or any
other person in Hughes County, to
make personal examination of all the
recodes in my office, comparing the
amount of work done therein with a
like amount of work performed in the
office during any of the prece ding years,
and if there is not as much, or more.
record work appearing in my own writ
ing than appears in the hand writing of
any other incumbent of the office for
any other year, for like amount of
work, | will pay that person the sum of
$40.
Now, this is not -four flush'' cam
paign chatter, but straight PROPOSE
ton intended to give person who is
small enough to imagine that all politi-
cal campaigns must be conducted
through insinuations and vilifying
methods chance to show his hand.

MORE THAN HALF REJECTED
Applicants for Teachers Licenses
Fare Poorly.

In the April teachers examinations
In the different counties of this state
there were 1,347 applicants for IL
censes, of which 766 are recorded as
detected by the state marking board.
Out of the number 325 were granted
second grade certificates, 245 were
granted third grades and eight were
given primary certificates. The per.
centage of failures is heavy for the
reason that a number of high school
pupils made their first trials and for
the further reason that a number OF
the applicants took only part of the
subjects. They were given credits
upon the subjects taken, but were
placed in the list of rejected appli.
cants for this examination.

HIGH EAGLE TALKS OF VISIT
Doubtful if More Indian Lands Are
Opened to Settlement.

SfSiSd W SSSliCiIICuI,
Robert p High Eagle, member of
the delegation of Sioux Indians sent
to Washington to confer with the gov
eminent officials and congressman
and senators relative to the proposed
opening of the remainder of the Stand
ing Rock and Cheyenne River reser-
yations to settlement, passed through
Aberdeen on his way home. Concern
Ing the proposed opening High Eagle
who is one of the leaders of the Sioux
said:
1t is doubtful yet if the reservation
will be opened. An amendment was
made to the house bill providing that
$40 per capita be paid to the Indians
on that part of the reservation already
thrown open. In measure this will
appease my people who are opposed
to the opening.
THE government has never yet paid
us for the land already thrown open
to settlement. That is the principal
reason we are opposed to the opening
of any more of the land. Then, too,
there has been considerable confusion
as to the timber allotments awarded
to the Indians at the opening and we
want to have that settled There are
several other reasons why we oppose
the opening, but if the money is paid
to us we will allow the opening to
proceed"
High Eagle stopped over in Aber-
deem for day to see his daughter,
who is attending Presentation acad-
envy there.
