not bought at all, and know nothing OF the
venality OF their Legislators. In the case Of

Arkansas CITY, KAN, April 1.-THE popula-
ton of this city has increased ono third during
the past week. Two thousand eager boomers
are here and at least one thousand are along the
line south OF here. six hardware stores have
sold out their eutire stock and the demand Is
not half supplied. Boomers are forming into
small colonies of twenty-five to ffty persons
and are devising schemes 70 outwit their neigh
bors and get into the heart OF Oklahoma by the
appointed time. There Is a feeling all along the
border that there will be general forward
movement into the territory on the night OF
April the Goth. The boomers who have been
here all winter have picked out their land and
are suspicious of the new corners. They do not
propose 10 nave the land they fought for jumped
by recent arrivals They have pickets in hiding
ia the Oklahoma woods who are keeping them
posted. Word was received to-day that the
boomers en- the Texas border were becoming
very impatient. and were liable 70 march in be
fore the 22d and seize their claims before day
light ON that date The pauicky foeling prevails
ali around. This old boomers claim they de-
veloped the agitation that led 70 the opening OF
tho territory, and that now the land-sharks are
trying 10 get possession Of their property. The
state line for hundreds OF miles is dotted with
"prairie schoOners." All are preparing for a
night into the promised land. Many settlers
whose geography is faulty are already from ten
70 dfteen miles in the territory, and still claim
they are In Kansas.

A Pet Blacksnakc.

Sam Cooper. the noted horse trainer
in charge of the fair ground stables at
Lawrenceburg, is the possessor of pet
blacksnake of enormous size. The reptile
is very fond of its master, and will re-
spond to his whistle and crawl from his
cage whenever he desires. Not obeying
him as readily as he expected recently,
Sam opened the inner apartment of the
cage to ascertain why his pet would not
come forth, and was astonished to find
the snake coiled over nest of eggs she
had laid. Since the discovery the num-
Der of eggs has been increased, and the
reptile now squirms over ten. A crowd
of persons surrounded the cage the other
day to see the unusual sight, but the
snake soon grew furious, and even her
master thought best TO keep out Of reach,
as she showed fierce anger at any attempt
to disturb the eggs.-PhilddelPhia IN
