The totnl voto of .Teffornon county on tho fith Inst, for Stnto Treasurer nnd President Jndiro was as follows: Nay' wood, n., 3,22: Meyers, D., l,."fl; Berry, Troh., 821; Dawson, People's, 132. President Judge, John V. Reod, R., 3,fi22; Herbert T. Ames, Proh., 1,3!1. Johnsonburp; is haunted nt night by "a womiui in blttuk," who eludes tho vigilance of pollco officers. The limxe says: During tho past week no less than a dozen persons havo been held tip near the tannery by this mysterious woman, who say sho is tall, dressed ontirely in blaek and wears a veil over hor face, while others report that sho wears a falsefneo. This "ghost" makes her appearance between the hours of 11 and 2, and holts only those of tho male persuasion. Tho Warren Lrihir says: "Tho girl who indulges in the dizzy waltz will hoar with interest that the heads of Washington and New York society have decided that sitting out a waltz next winter will bo moro fashionable than dancing tho only difference is you sit instead of dance. The man's right arm is around the girl's waist, while his left holds hor right. Hor loft hand is placed lovingly on his shoulder, and all they have to do is to listen to tho music. Xow that is something like it. It is a nuisance to havo to gallop a mllo or two to get a hug or two. A room full of people sit ting around on sofas hugging to muslo is moro to our notion. 'Spooning' at dances Is really an old stylo In War ren." The immigration tide iscontmually flowing towards America, and foreign ers are being dumped upon our shores at the average of almost 1000 for every day In tho week, not including Sunday, From Bradstreet's of Saturday, Nov. 0th, wo clip the following: "Immigra tion during the fiscal year ending June 30, 18!)5, reached tho lowest love! for more than a decado and a half, or uineo 1870, according to the report of tho Commissioner-General of Immigration, made public this week. Tho total num ber of immigrants arriving was 2."S, 53(1, a decline of over 27,000 as compared with tho preceding year. Tho greater bulk of these Immigrants wore, upon examination, permitted to land, only 2,410 being debarred and deported at tho expense of the various steamship lines transporting them. Of those de barred a little over one-quarter came in violation of the alien contract labor laws. As has already boon indicated, tho figures for the current flBcal year tip to tho present indicate an Increase In tho volumo of immigrants for the year ending Juno 30, 1800, and tho Com-inlssioner-Conoral estimates that from present indications, owing to tho revival of business and consequent demand for labor, tho immigration next year will be In excess of 300,000. This will put the total above that for the fiscal year proceding, though It would leave it still below the total reached in 1886, which was tho lowoBt reached since 1879 with the exception of last year. Tho forestry commissioner .proposes to confer with the county commissioners all over the stuto with a view lo having tho laws ugulnal nutting fire to forests enforced and tho offenders brought to trial and punished for starting them. Forestry Commissioner Rothrock says "it can be stated with some certainty that the annual direct loss to this Com monwealth by forest fires exceeds $1 ,000, 000. Most of these flresowe thelrorlgin to ignorance, carnlcssness or malicious ness. Neither of these causes can bo considered as sufficient to screen tho offondor from punishment. Yot, so far ns wo are aware, hi few Inst uncos, If Indood, in any, has tho offender boon brought to justice." Tho county com missioners are roquosted to Inform Mr. Rothrock as to how many acres have boon burned over, how much valuable timber destroyed, how many fences burned, how muny men engaged In fighting flra, how long engaged, and to report any loss of buildings, of human life or domestic animals. Tho com missioners of Jefferson county can give Mr. Rothrock a lengthy report of tho foretit fires In this, county. Twloe a year forest tires roar.ovur tho hills and through the vallles of a largo portion of our county. Commissioner Rothrock expects to soon start on a tour of insteo tluu through Huntingdon, Clearfield and Center counties to asoertain, ap proximately, the loss sustained by the forest fires. Mr. Rothrock should not miss Jefferson eounty in his tour, for the forest fires have -done grout dam age in this county this year. The re sult of b(6 observations will be reported to the Seoetary of Agriculture by, De cember 15th. CHICKASAW INDIANS! THEIR SPORTS HOW T11EIK SUP PLIES ARE DEALT OUT. Indian Agent a Fortunate Individual Indians Imposed Upon, I'aoi.i, Chickasaw Natiok, IsmAsTr.n., November ft, Ml. EniTon fTAn, DitAa Km: Wo took a short trip throuitli Northwestern Texas, commonly known ns tho Panhandle country. A very dry, nrlrt district exclusively devoted to cnttlo busi ness. Nowhere under tho shining slurs do rut tin spotn to flourish ns well ns hero, no dif ference how dry It trots. In some plncos thpy have hud no rain In slxtpon months, yot thoro I nn abundant growth of buffalo grass and rnttlp nrp ns fat on this dry, sun-bnked nral rlp as though thpy wcro corn fed. Uno ranch wo worn on hnd onp hundred nnd forty thoti snnd cnttlo. They pny five cpnts nn aero for the grass and calculnto on It inking ten acres to tho "critter." The ranch owners nro all looked up to and supposed to bo ns rich ns Croesus. In many respects this Is tho most remarkable country on tho fneo of tho globe. Its grcntness, however, lies In tho flops, bed buirs, roaches, mosqultos, oontledes, cnter plllars.rhigrcs, tarantulas nnd rattle siinkes Hint nbound hero ns "numberless ns tho Blind on tho sea shore" Kilos swarm hero ns only they did In King Herod's tlmo, nnd no Mosos to Interred)) for relief. Hut as this Is to bo nn Indian letter too much Toxns mlirht spoil It. Edwnrd llelliimy, tbo hero of "Looking lliickward," will never Koehlspct theory of the twentieth century moro fully In working order than right hero nmong those simple, plain, mock, but nil nt once daring, dashing, blood thirsting fighters of tho plains. These Chickasaw live hero under one government (the chief!, nnd hnvo everything In common, without n single enro. I'nclo Cam supplies their every want, oven to Winchesters and ammunition, for tho ren son, wo suppose, Hint they enn nt a moment's notice go on the wiupnth. Tho only differ ence between these redskins nnd Mr. Ilelln my's gang Is, ho pensions and relieves from work at forty-five yours old, while theso arc pensioned nnd ret Ired from tbo duy of their birth. As might bo suspected they nro very crude and their treatment of each other re minds one of the days of chivalry. Tho bucks arc sour, morose looking fellows nnd show no evidence of being Instructed In tho shorter catechism, us Is now being dono at some of tho agencies. They are pre-eminently a play ing people, as much so as were tho ancient Greeks and tho highest conceivable honor for them Is to carry off the prize In their various games on one of their feast days. Polo play ing Is one of their greatest sports, which con sists In throwing polos so that they will go through smnll running hoops without dis turbing or changing their course. Possibly marksmnnshlp exceeds nil other sports or games. Their ability In this respect would easily excite the envy of HulTnlo Hill. They tako a stick, split It, "put a nletile In tho slot," stop off a hundred paces nnd knock tho nlckle every time. You must give them the nlcklo every time they bit, you get It every tlmo they miss It. At first wo felt con-selonce-strloken for going Into n gamo of rhanco. This Idea was soon dispelled, so skillful wore they that out of a hundred shots they would scarcely miss once. It soon be came apparent that If wo wore no wiser our purses were at least being rapidly depleted, so we culled u halt, much to tho chngrln of Mr. Indian. Tho most Interesting feature of our sojourn among them was "Issue day." Prior to this tho agent canvasses the nation and takes orders for what they need, and when the day arrive for which all have been Impatiently wait in;, their supplies nro promiscuously dealt out to them, I'or Instance, so many pairs of shoes nro needed; they urn handed out as tho rods II lo along w ithout regard to size, weight, shape or stylo. An old buck may get a pair of pupiMiose shoes and a young girl is liable to get a pair of bnignns. Then they begin to hunt up tlielr own shoes, perfectly confident that some one has thorn. Tlielr ipieer antics, language and expressions, en livened by an occasional fight, make It very Interesting. Tlio climaxing featifro of "Issue day" Is tho "beef Issue." Tho steers that U. H. has gotten for the occasion arc fully up-to-date, great, big, mammoth fellows, corruled, ready to ho butchered In tho most brutal form. The Indians with how and arrow, gun, hatchet, hammer, ax, club nnd every concol v- nblo and Inconceivable manner of weiiisin, stands breathlessly still till the animal Is thoroughly enraged and ready for tight. When tho signal Is given It Is a free pitch In and a free light. After they have succeeded In bringing down their prey every redskin Is nt liberty to help himself, whether by cutting, sawing, pulling or twisting It off, no differ ence, so they get moat. Now comes a scene of hide, horns, hair, heart and the balance of the paraphernalia, profusely steeped In blood. It Is not an uncommon sight to seo a pappooso chewing awny at a chunk of liver. The marrow out of the horns Is eagerly sought nftor and In the mad rush tho tall Is by no mentis forgotten. During the present finan cial depression tills is the first time wo havo had tho pli'UHUro of seeing "lsith ends moat" horns and lull. After they got a chunk of meat tlioy run with it, nnd one looking nt them would suppose they wore stealing It. Hy this time the souuwa appear on tho scone nnd tho bucks, utter they seo that tho drudg ery will bo done by squaws, give themselves up to sporting, In the strict boiiso of tho word. They arc great gamblers nnd greater drink ers, when they run get lire-water, as they call It. They seem to get It very easily, too. Those Indians lire a mercurial people und differ In complexion front as durk us Calcutta to a m.irlno red. They are considerably mixed with whiles, but owing to tho warm climate and u constant wind they retain their original color, (If all tbo men In the west the Indian Agent Is tbo most favored. Ills position Is not only a paying appointment, but tho opportunity for making good deals, Is constantly staring tills fortunate Individual In tho face. It re minds one very much of tho Soldiers Orphan School system formerly In voguo In I'enn'tt. They lire supposed to furnish the best of everything, but poor Lo, ho only gets tho poorest, meatiest and cheupest, und a more shameful system of plunder never existed even under tho Tweed ring of New York. When everything Is luken Into account, not only that they tiro so mercilessly sw indled, but that their home the Indian Territory has been tho rendezvous for ull the most notorious outlaws of tbo American continent, you can expect little of them. This bus not only been tho hiding place of the famous Ihiltons, thO'dosperato Cooks, but often tbo James Imyi are said to have sought safely here. Every desperado of the west, as well us every eastern outcast, know their exclu sion was perfect If they only get within this "city of refugu'." Nut only bus yellow bucked literature nourished bore but they huve like wise been stooped lu tho Cluude Duvul typo. More than ull, Dick Turpln, the prince of highwaymen, loft "footprints here on the sands of time." Yet, give thorn all the credit you cun. Look on their best side, their civil treatment of strangers. Their singing, which Was n special plcnsnro to mp, wns always In tho minor key, I hoard one young buck Humming n Wngnorlnn opera, another Verdi Iltrovltor, yot nlwnys In tho minor, never mn.tor key. A mother will chant her zo-ro-io to her baby in such a plaintive way, too In tho minor key, It would nlmost bring team from the eyes of tho rattle snnkos which nlmund here. Looking at their best side, when they nro smeared with paint nnd decked with font hers, I would hnvo to cnll them prehistoric gorillas or polo cats of tho tinregenornlo typo, I might ndd, In conclusion, that sun bonnets nro being worn here, children gujng bare footed nnd men without routs or vests. A grent many flowors nro yet In blmim, vorbo- nns, dahlias, phlox, geraniums, chrysnntho mums and many others too numerous for mo to spell. oo. II. MiTNixmrr, Auction) Auction.
