SHALLWE Do TIP

Just now there is much inquiry
among manufacturers north, for
timber. There is also a great de-
mand for farming and fruit lands.
Some of or counties h ave adver-
tised their resources and the result
has been of incalculable benefit.

About his Brother.

Several years ago my brother,
who lived with me, had a very
strange sore to break out ON his leg
about half way between the body
and the knee which afterwards de-
developed into a rose cancer. 1t
resulted from bruise made by the
rubbing of the stirrup-leather
while riding.
The cancer continued to grow
until it was about five inches long,
and three wide. The flesh slough
ed off, black, rotten and foul, and
it was almost impossible to procure
a servant that would wait upon
him, the air in the room where he
lay being so foul that it would sick
en- any one who entered. Every
physician of any prominence in the
State was consulted, and treated my
brother without success. One doc
tor finally advised him to try
Swilt's Specific IS. S. So, he did so,
and used nothing else. He com-
menced to improve Immediately,
and after taking several bottles was
completely cured, and since 1884

THE NEW BRITISH MINISTER.
Sir Julian PauncefOte at Home In the
British Legation.

The British legation in this city is no longer
tenantless. Sir Julian Pauncefote, the repre-
sentative in the United States of her British
majesty Queen Victoria and empress of India,
has arrived and is comfortably located on the
premises lately vacated by the author of the
reply TO the Murchison letter. Sir Julian ar
rived yesterday evening in company with Mr.
Herbert, who has been charge de affaires
since the departure of Lord
Sackvillc. They We're met at the
depot by the other attaches of the legation.
and were driven at once to that transplanted
portion of Great Britain which occupies the
northwest corner of Connecticut avenue and n
street. A couple of hours later Sir Julian dined
with Secretary Herbert.
PLEASED WITH THE CITY.
The new minister was on the point of leaving
the legation building this morning when
STAR reporter introduced himself and was cor
daily greeted. The diplomat had nothing to
say about politics, but he did make a few
pleasant remarks about the beautiful appear
ance of the city. There was every appearance
of perfect health about the minister and his
clear. ruddy complexion was of the perfect
English type. He is an exceedingly pleasant
gentleman, and those who know him intimately
say he will be popular in Washington.

EVERY QUARTER SECTION TAKEN.
Oklahoma Practically Settled and With
Less Violence Than Was Feared.

ST. LOUIS, April PA special to the Republic
from Purcell, /. T.. SAYS: Advices from every
part of the territory of Oklahoma indicate that
every available quarter section of land is al
ready taken along the line of the Atchison
railroad and on the stage trails which run
from Guthrie to King Fisher and from
Oklahoma to Fort Reno. The Occu-
pants of the soil have taken possession
of their claims by pitching tents, and in
many cases erecting rude log cabins or frame
structures. The kinghsher land Office was
opened yesterday. and the entries are reported
to have been more numerous than at Guthrie.
The country Is beginning to wear settled look,
and although the appearance of things is rude.
1t Is evidence of the fact that the crisis is
practically over. and that out of the rush and
strife and bitterness of years the country has
been settled with less sacrifice of life than has
always been feared and predicted.
LIFE AT GUTHRIE.
Guthrie promises to become a typical new
frontier town, and will, it is feared. pass
through the same reigh of terror which seems
to be necessary in the existence of every city
of phenomenal growth. As indicated in these
dispatches there a vicious element in the
great population with which it began its NUM-
cipal life. Thugs and plug-uglies and that spe-
cles of the flash sport, who make new and
rapidly-grOwing communities their field of
operations. were with the first crowd which en-
tered the city. and they have grown rapidly in
numbers with each incoming train. They came
from all parts of the west and southwest.
Among them all there has been
NONE EQUAL TO THE DODGE CITY CROWD,
which made itself famous in the dance house
and gambling line when Dodge City was at the
end of the cattle trail and was considered the
worst town on earth. Since the trail left Dodge
City some of them have been follow
ing It and others have been drifting.
The crowd which is in Guthrie now was
in Purcell before the territory was
opened, and went up to Guthrie for the purpose
of running dance house and gambling den,
and making what they could out of the boom.
They did not succeed in getting lots in the
heart OF the city, a location necessary to the
success of their business. and yesterday they
began efforts to drive somebody off holding.
WOKE UP THE WRONG MAN.
They were unfortunate in the selection of
their victim. They made a claim to lot owned
and occupied by Wash" Rogers, who is a
Oklahoma district. and who is a bad man to
impose upon. Rogers resisted the claim and
the dance-house men then proposed that they
should occupy all that part of the lot not covered
by Rogers tent. Rogers refused this, and they
attempted to take forcible possession. Rogers
pulled Winchester and compelled an evacua-
ton of the premises. The Dodge City men
threaten to renew the combat.
Guthrie is i'll great need of a perfection of
her municipal government. There is now col
lected population of $1,000 or 5000. and
among them large percentage of the criminal
and vicious class.

sALISBURY's BRISTOL SPEECH.
The Two Important Points I'm Il.

Special Gable Dispstch 10 THr Evrxrxe srxn
LONDON, April 24-Lord Salisbury's Bristol
speech was important in two points First in
his definite refusal 10 concede any local gov-
ernment to Ireland containing the germ Of
home rule, as no Irishmsn cares for local gov
ernment except as q step 10 home rule. This
commits the ministry against the scheme which
Chamberlain and Courtney are urging. The
other point is where Salisbury asserts the lib
eral unionists' right to all the seats at present
held by them. In this he endeavors TO COM
pensate for the rejection Of the lib
eral unionist reform of keep your
seats but surrender your principles" I'm
fortunately for the unionists the tory rank and
file resent the retention Of the liberal unionist
seats. This was brought out so clearly at
Birmingham by the Chamberlain-C Churchill
squabble that Chamberlain himself abandons
the attempt to maintain the status ouo and
offers the Birmingham tories 20 estimate bv a
local canvass or otherwise the comparative
strength OF the liberal unionists and the tories
and rcadjust the representation 70 their num-
bers. This abandons half the liberal unionist
seats in Birmingham, and sounds the death
knell of the party. Another difference is devel-
oping. Chamberlain insists that the land
purchase bill shall only have local guarantee.
Salisbury is equally strenuous for an imperial
guarantee. The trouble is likely TO be serious.
Edinburgh's municipality voting the freedom
of the city TO Parnen is very significant

THE OLD MAN MEANT TO DIE.
And Two Policemen and a Big Crowd
Couldn't Prevent Him.

CHICAGO, April 24.-James Hogan, aged sixty.
FIVE, committed suicide in this city last night.
The old man had been drinking hard all day.
He was living at hotel on North Clark street.
Shortly after 10 o'clock he climbed to the roof
of the four-story building through the sky
light. with the avowed intention of committing
suicide. His friends in the hotel used every
me ans In their power to persuade him to come
do wn, but without avail
Every time any one would start after him he
would run 10 the edge of the building and
swing himself over. There he would hang by
his hands until his pursuers would retreat
Then he would draw himself back and walk I'D
and down the roof. Finally patrol wagon,
manned by Officers Cook and Murphy, arrived.
The former crawled up through the skylighs
to attract the old mans attention, while Oficer
Murphy climbed the fre-escape from the out
side. As soon as Hogan saw Cook he ran 20
the edge of the building, and without saying q
word he swung over, holding to the edge Of
the building by his hands. The crowd stood
below in breathless silence. In a moment the
old man loosened his hold and dropped back
ward. His feet struck sign over the third
story window, and his body turned a complete
somersault. his heed striking the pavement
with a sickening noise The mans brains were
scattered for 10 feet in every direction. His
head and body were mashed into pulp, and
the crowd stood back awe-stricken- The mans
mangled body was taken to the morgue.

Pension Office Decisions Reversed.

Assistant Secretary Bussey to-day reversed
decision of the pension Office, and directed the
issue of a certificate for additional pension to
John B. McMenus, of the nineteenth Illinois
volunteers. The pension Office refused to
grant the additional pension because of lack of
sufficient proof of the incurrence of varicose
veins in the service and in the line of duty.
Gen. Bussey says that the presumption of law
Is that the applicant was free from disability
when he entered the service. The testimony
of physician of high standing is presented
to show that the disability existed at the date
OF the soldiers discharge. The applicant
states that it is impossible for him to
produce better evidence to sustain his
claim. 1t appears therefore that under the
circumstances OF this case the evidence filed
should be accepted as sufficient to establish the
right of the applicant for an additional pension.
Gen. Bussey has also directed that the name
OF Emanuel i. Steed, of the first West Virginia
cavalry, be restored to the pension rolls, from
which 1t had been taken by order of the COM
missioner of pensions. The information, saws
Gen. Bussey, upon which the commissioner
suspended the payment of the pension was
traced to a personal enemy. He adds that such
testimony Is inadequate to overthrow the Of
fetal statements upon which the pension is
based

Disquieting Reports About Yellow
Fever at Sanford.

CHICAGO, April PA Tribune special from
Jacksonville, Fla, April %, SAYS: 1t is ru-
mored here this evening that Sanford has one
or more cases Of yellow fever. DIR. Daniel,
president of the state board of health. has been
there investigating for the last forty-eight
hours. Other members have been called for.
This city will quarantine at once if the doctor
reports the cases genuine fever. There is
great uncertainty as yet about the cases. as so
many false alarms have been given that people
are inclined to go slow. There is no panic
here, as every one knows this city can be kept
clear.
1t is impossible tonight TO give exact or more
details about the fever. The latest is that the
vi tim was the wife of A. Dumont, baker. All
Others exposed have been isolated and the
strictest measures taken to prevent the spread
of the disease. As the telegraph Office there
closed at o'clock all efforts TO get full details
have failed. Railroad men seem to know little
and the people here are all waiting patiently
for President Daniel to report. The county
health officials all alert and will put on
quarantine here at once. This movement is
deemed necessary, although the people feel
confident of their ability TO keep il out Of

LONDON, April 2I-The French are asking n
the history of the Suez canal is to be repeated.
1t is CALLING for the promoters of the Panama
canal to be compelled to come to England TOR
assistance, but the matter is SO desperate that
neither pride nor sentiment can be allowed to
interfere with business. and the only hope Of
the subscribers is the aid of English capital.

De Lesseps ditch, it may not be so impossible
as il appears to secure even the immense sums
necessary to finish il. To complete the canal
would be triumph of English engineering and
several contracting firms have signiied .
willingness 10 take hold of the affair in concert
with moderate guaranty. One of the all
to important points is TO arrange matters so as
interest American capital in the project and
thus allay all fears as TO international jealousy
or complications.
Within the last two days many lengthy tele-
grams relating to the matter are said to have
passed between London and New York. but il
is understood that parties in the United States
advise further delay in the expectation that the
plant and franchise may be obtained at much
lower rate than the French holders are willing
TO accept just now.
