A BOOMER LEADER CONFIDENT.
Capt. Couch Expects the Oklahoma Lands
to BE Thrown Open.

to Be Thrown OpeA.
LAWRENCE, kAS., August l9.-Captain
Couch, the noted boomer leader, is in the
city, the guest Of ex-Copgressman Clark.
he speaks with great confidence Of the
early success Of the boomer movement. BE
said that the President having shown good
faith in driving the cattlemen out Of the In
dian Territory, the boomers feel that
their interests are safe in his hands, and
they concluded to disband and await the
action OF the commission soon to report on
their efforts TO negotiate for the relinquish
ment By the Indians Of their rights 10 the
land. Some Of the boomers are hauling
Government freight to Fort Reno, and oil Of
them are engaged in some work. The re-
moyAl of the cattlemen has been Q strong
point urged by the colonists, and now that
the Administration Is taking such decided
stand on the question, Captain Couch feels
greatly encouraged.
"a am well pleased with the situation"
The csttlemen are to be put out, and that
Is victory for US
What are your plans for future achonT'
was asked.
I'VE propose to await further action By
the President. Nov that the Cherokee efec-'
ton is over, the President will soon ap-
point the commission called for BY Con-
gress last winter. When the commission
c)mes 10 examine the matter carefully,
believe is will decide that the Indians have
no title to the Oklahoma lands; bat il they
should think differently. they will negotiate
with the Indians for q release Of any claims
they may sllege TO have TO the Oklahoma
country. When this is completed the coun-
try will be settled, even if congressional &c
tion has not been taken on the treaty. II
the rdians agree to release their claims
do not believe the President would use the
troops to eject the colonists who would rush
into Oklahoma before Congress could ratify
the treaty. 1t seems that we are bound TO
get into the Territory this winter.
The colonists still have their office at
Caldwell, and are answering thousands OF
inquiries regarding the proposed settlement.
ihers will be big rush for Oklahoma m
soon as II 10 oeelored open for settlement

The Best Showing Reported for Years in
tue South.
BALTIMORE, August l9.-The Bsltim ,re
manufacturers Record will publish to-mor-
sw nearly five pages Of special reports
covering the whole South from Virginia to
Texas, showing that the prospects for the
crops and the outlook for business in that
section are remarkably good. Not only is
the acreage OF the cotton, corn and tobacco
crops the largest on record, but the report
are unanimous in stating that the yields o.
these crops and other small grains, except
ing Wheat, will greatly exceed the best crops
ever before produced, IL also shows tha
tie crops have been made at a lower cost
than ever before.
In Georgia the Agricultural Department
erlmates the corn crop st 10000, 900 bush
els, against 81 900, 600 bushels last year and
24,6j O,OOO bushels in 1888 RegardinI
,rn the reports from the whole South ar
Of Il e most Aauering character, some stat
ng that the yield will be the best for years,
ohers the best for twenty years, and many
the best ever known. Ii is thought by the
Limited States Commissioner of Agriculture
year and the spleuJfl 30 in corn over last
assured will give the South not less than
$4,000, 900 bushels of corn more than
last year. The cotton crop, it is
believed, is safe FOR much the largest
ever male ard for at least 100000 to l.
100000 bales more than last year. OF
tobacco, fruits and vegetables the crops are
the lar gest made in the South, while rice
promises a splendid yield and sugar far
more satisfactory and profts0le crop THAI
il 1884. Stimulated BY the unprecedented
crops business is already showing decided
Improvement, and the prospects throughout
the South for fall and winter trade was un'
usually good. In the orgsniz alton Of rail
road aud manufacturing enterprise there is
g-ert activity, and the outlook for industrial
Interests is particularly promising.

loom here where you can see the thread unwound from the cocoons, spun into silk and woven into handkerchief, the whole process only taking about 30 minutes. In the machinery department is to be seen the largest cotton press ever built; also cotton gins in full oper- ation. There is also fine collection of bicycles and tricycles from the Pope manufacturing company of Hartford, Conn.
 THE GROUNDS.
 Outside of the Main building is an electric railroad which runs about half way around the grounds, charging five cents for the round trip.
 One large building is devoted to horses, chiefly of the Norman and Perch eron stock. Some of the stallions weigh over ton and are valued at Sl0, 900. There is another large building devoted to furniture and woodwork.
 woMEN's EXCHANGE.
 An account of the exposition cannot be closed without mentioning the Christian Women's Exchange exhibit in the Government building. Here many ladies could busy themselves all day and not see it all then. Not being much of d connoisseur in water colors, embroid- cry or worsted work, can't give a de- scription of the collection. The pieces If old lace, dating from 1900 to 1700 are very valuable, especially a little piece of Valenciennes, formerly belong ing to Queen Charlotte. Q
 THE LIBERTY BRILL.
 The largest crowd present at the ex- position, so far, was there on the day the Liberty bell from Philadelphia was received. The Mexican band, whicI. numbers over 60 pieces. gave a short concert in Music hall and the ceremo- nies then commenced. The mayor of Philadelphia presented the bell to New Orleans in short speech, which was re- piled to by Major A. G. Pitkin of Lou isi.lna. Then J, if Davis, ex-Pl esident of the c. s. A, said few words, vel coming the Liberty bell to the "Sunny 5outh." To close this already rather extended article I wish to append clipping from the New Orleans Times Democrat, giving short description of the Mexican cornet band :-
 "All lovers of good music have hearti- y enjoyed the concerts given by this at the exposition. Return ing visitors from every state in the American Union have borne to their homes reports of the magnificent music funi he'd by the hand from our sister Tt public, and to-day the fame of the Mexi- can band is spread far and wide over th, country. And the praise accorded the has been justly earned. No I.learer proof of the statement that mu- sic is universal could be desired. Lan- may differ, customs and man. ners may he at vari nce in Mexico and | the United States, but the Mexican band | ,a1 hold enthralled by its melodious strains the representatives of every na- ion on the globe" F.
