THE OKLAHOMA RUSH.
Many Boomers Succeed In Outwitting the
Authorities.

GUTHRIE, April 23d.--The rush at the
Land Office is terrific The building is sur
rounded by mob of bowling men, which
IS being constantly augmented by arrivals
OF horsemen galloping in from every quar-
ter. Land Agent Lilly and his force of as
sistants are unable to give attention to a
hundredth part of the business forced on
them. The detachment of troopers which
has been detailed around the building with
view of keeping the mob in line Is COM
pletely worn out.
1t is certain that hundreds of boomers
have been in the Territory for several days.
Proofs of this fact are abundant. One,
however, will suffice. When the rush was
made into the Territory yesterday num-
Der of people were found plowing quietly,
every newmade farmer carrying a small
armory on his person. OF course the au-
thorities could do nothing with these peo-
pie.
TOWN TAKING FORM.
No one who has never seen a western
town take form and shape can comprehend
how quickly full-rigged city with a
double-deck boom can be put in running
motion. Guthrie already has its Main
street, its Harrison street, its Guthrie av-
enue and its Oklahoma avenue, and yester-
day it was a'wilderness, where the antelope
sported and the jacBrsbbit tapped its ears
in the sun. In the afternoon at O'Clock
the first municipal election occurred. The
election notice appeared yesterday in the
Oklahoma Herald, a daily paper published
at Guthrie on the first day Of its exis ence
Council was elected at the same time
Nearly 10000 votes were polled. as there
are about that many luen in Guthrie with
the intention of becoming citizens The
leading candidates for Mayor were Adiu-
tant-Genersl Reice of Illinois, William
Constantine of Springfield, O., and T. L.
Summer, of Arkansas City. A strong dark
horse was I. Volney Haggatt of Huron
D. T.
The Bank of Oklahoma opened for busi.
ness at Guthrie yesterday, with capital
stock OF $4,000. NJ. W. Levy, Wichita
banker, is President. The new city is
flooded with business cards of all descrip.
tiols, representing every line of trade and
business, every profession and every occu.
patton imaginable. A mass of mail is ex.
pected to reach the Guthrie postoffice
every day. 1t is now being run by postal
clerk detailed for that purpose, but Mr.
Finn. the lately appointed Postmaster,
Will take charge in day or two.
CALIFoRNIANs IN OKLAHOMA.
., ILL, Ap4li -oa-Ocpildll5ts from
San Francisco sent their egent, George W
Perkins, to find 2 site for the town which
they intend to call Frisco. Perkins and
his party stood upon the rear platform
after leaving Purcell, and Just after the
Canadian river was crossed they leaped of
the train and disappeared in the bushes.
The chances are that the site of Frisco will
be near the bridge.

Gladstone ON the Centennial.

BUFFALO, April 23d.-A letter from Glad
stone is printed in the Courier to-day.
Therein Gladstone speaks hopefully OF the
Irish question, and in conclusion SAYS
" When your great country is about to Gel
ebrate the centennial anniversary of the
inauguration of George Washington as the
first President of the American Common
wealth, | have been requested from Chi
cago and elsewhere to intimate the assur-
ance of my participation in your national
JOY. Ii is real and grateful participation
tor statesmen of the American Revolution
have taken their place for aye, and among
the greatest political instructors of the
world. George Washington was their ac-
knowledged and illustrious head, and to
him and to them 1 have long felt that 1
owed no trivial part of my own public
education. Long, without limit of length,
may that union flourish, under the bless
ing and favor of God, with the foundation
with which their names are inseparablv

Washington Items in Brief.
WASHINGTON, April 23i.-The President
to-day appointed number of Postmasters,
among whom were the following: Edward
Angel, at HALEY. Idaho, and George H.
Cook, at Flagstaff, Arizona.
The Acting Comptroller of Currency to-
day authorized the Washington National
Bank at Tacoma, W. T., to begin business
with capital of 100000.
The Secretary of War has ordered the
commanding officers at all military posts
to 1re national salute of thirty eight guns
on April 30th, in honor of the centenary
of the Inauguration of Washington.
Second Assistant Postmaster. General
Whitford has under consideration the
establishment of several star mail routes
through Oklahoma. 1t is expected one or
more will be decided upon tomorrow.
The United Kingdom Prosperous.
WASHINGTON, April 23d-The Consul,
General Waller, at London, in his report to
the Department of State, says there has
been general revival of trade and COM
merce of the United Kingdom. The
returns, he says, clearly show decided i'm
provement in both the volume and char
acter of business done in 1888 over the
previous year, and this increased prosperity,
which promises to continue, is not confined
to any particular industry. 1t is apparently
due to legitimate trade, and not to specula-
ton. The improvement in business is
especially noticeable in the building in
dustry.
A Collision.
NEWPORT, April 23d.-The largest passen-
ger steamboat on the Atlantic coast, The
Pilgrim" of the Fall River line. collided
near He'll Gate, last night, with freight
steamer. The latter was so badly injured
that she was run ashore and sunk. The
passenger steamer came here for repairs.

A JUST DECISION.
Corporal Tanner Continues to GLADDEN.
the Hearts of ex Soldiers.

WASHINGTON, April 23d-Corporal Tan
ner, Commissioner of Pensions. to-day
rendered an important decision in passing
upon the application of John Webb, pri-
vate of Company D, Indiana cavalry, for
an increase of pensions from S24 to $50 per
month. Webb is receiving the former rate
of pension for verbose veins of the left leg,
and asked for an increase on the ground
that total disability in his foot
now exists. In granting the in
crease asked for, the Commissioner
says, in his opinion, that il
was not the intention of Congress in using
the words total disability to debar the
claimants for pensions from the benefits Of
the Act until the hand, foot, arm or leg is
a worthless incumbrance, incapable of mo.
ton and completely useless for any pur.
pose whatever. He says that total disabil.
ity shall be held to exist when the affected
member by reason of a wound, injury OIL
disease is useless in performing ordinary
manual labor.

AGAINST PROHIBITION.
1t Gets Serious Setback in the Old Bay


BosToN, April 23d.-The Prohibitionists
spent lots of money yesterday, had relig-
ious services in the churches, women at all
the polls personally soliciting votes, and
gave strong hot lunches to those who voted
for them, while the Sunday-school chill
dren, carrying flags and prohibition ban
ners, marched through the streets headed
by a brass band. They would visit each
poll and cheer for the amendment, but all
this had no result, the votein Boston being
$3.50 for and 96,749 against. This 93 per
cent. decrease on the November vote. The
change of sentiment in the State is star
tling. Worcester county, where the best
cider in the State is made, gave 1000 ma
jority against prohibition. The majority in
the whole State is A 500 The Prohibi-
tionists are YerY much disheartened

GENERAL NEWS.
Loss of the Ship NlcGlivcry.


PORT TOWNSEND, Oct. 9.-The Amer
lean ship William McGilverey, the
first ship that loaded lumber at Pa
cifc mills, Tacoma, and which col
lected So, 900 demurrage from the mill
company for non-delivery of lumber,
was abandoned at sea near Cape Horn,
on August 9th. Captain Dunbar and
six seamen arrived to-day from Victo-
ria. He said that after discharging a
cargo of lumber at Pisagua, he loaded
LOO tons of nitre for New Pork.
When few days out from Pisagua he
encountered terrible storms and the
vessel began to leak badly. For eleven
days the crew labored necessarily at
the pumps, and barely kept the ship
afloat. The storm continued with I'M
abated fury, when the British ship
Norcross, from England to Victoria,
threw us line and each was drawn
aboard the Norcross by tying a rope
around his waist and jumping into
the foaming sea. Twenty-one people
in this way were saved. No personal
effects were taken from the ship. Two
days later the British ship Indian En-
pire, bound to Iquique, hove in sight
and fourteen seamen were sent aboard.
The Norcross arrived in Victoria Sun
day and the captain and crew came
over to-day on the steamer Olympian.
The McGilverey was nineteen years
old and owned by John Nichols & Co.,
OF Seaport, ne. The cargo was fully
insured and the! vessel partly insured
in Eastern companies.

WALLA WALLA, Oct. IA terrible
explosion occurred this morning about
Z o'clock at the sawmill of the Blue
Mountain Flume Company, just be-
fore the machinery was to have been
started up for the day. At the time OF
the explosion two gauges of water
were in the boiler, and the steam
gauge registered so pounds. When
the mill was runningit was not unusual
to have over 100 pounds of steam,
The cause of the explosion is q mys-
terry. When the boiler exploded force
of seven men were all within n few feet
Of the engine.
One man was killed, named Isaac
Harding, he being nearest and be-
tween it and the boiler. The force of
the explosion threw the men in all
directions, covering them with mud
and sawdust. The body of Harding
was found fifteen feet off, headless and
minus both legs and one arm. One OF
the legs was found resting on beam
overhead. None of the other men
were severely injured, but all received
cuts and scratches from flying pieces
of boiler and timber.
The entire side of the mill was blown
out, as also portion Of the roof.
The whole front end of the boiler was
blown out and was torn into shreds.
The dead man had been only few
days in the employ of the Flume Com
'pany, and was soon to take the posi-
ton of night watchman. He was a
single man, SO far as known, and his
relatives resided in Minneapolis.

\ COWardiy Shooting at Tacoma,

TACOMA. Oct. 3" NY God, I'm
shot" were the words which followed
a pistol shot on C. street between
Fourth and Fifth, tonight at II
o'clock. The victim, Enoch Crosby, a
plumber was on his way home, which
is on the corner Of Fourth and C
streets: when he was attacked. He
was just opposite Mrs Bakers house
on { street, when two men met him
and without word one of them drew
a revolver, and as the victim was turn
ing to run the fatal shot was fired. His
cries were heard by all those living in
the neighborhood, and upon being
asked what was the matter he an
swered, MY God, I'm shot" and
started across the street.
Immediately number of men
gathered around and the victim was
taken to the house of Mr. White,
where he .ow lies, without any hope OF
recovery.
The ball entered the back over the
hip and passing through the body is
close to the naval, having passed
through the intestines. Mr.. Crosby
has been splitting and vomiting blood
ever since lying down. DIR. Winter
mute was called in and did all he
could for the patient.
The man attacked is son of Cap
tain Crosby and is about twenty-six
wears of age and had only been in the
city week, having come here from
Puyallup. There is no clue yet to his
assailants, but the police are doing
everything in their power
From all the facts it would seem to
be case of mistaken identity, as the
victim was not asked to "hands up
and deliver, or even to stop, but on
sight he was shot and the parties do
ing it fled down street, one turning
down steep embankment. The
other ran down the street and hid
under the Congregational church, but
by the time the officers arrived he had
fed.
The young man and his family be-
ing well-known here there is great
deal of excitement, and all are anxious
to see the guilty parties caught and
brought to justice.
LATER-Crosby died Monday even
ming at 10 o'clock at Fannie Paddock
hospital, passing away without a
struggle. He male no statement
other than the facts that have been
published. He was conscious when
death came and summoned his father,
physician and nurses.

Born on q Rai1read Train.

CHEHALIs, Oct. Son the south
bound train 1p-day was q woman
enciente. Before reaching Winlock
she retired to the ladies' dressingroom.
After the train left Winlock a live fe-
male child just born was found by the
side of the track. On inquiry it was
learned that the conductor, finding
the dressingroom locked broke open
the door and found the woman un-
conscious. She was removed to a
sleeper and physician called. He
discovered she had just given birth to
q child. At last accounts she was I'M
conscious, but it is supposed the child
was dropped accidentally through the
discharge pipe. The woman had a
telegram from her husband, who was
to meet her in Portland. At last ac-
counts the child was all right.

THE NATIONAL GRANGE.
Secretary Trlmble Speaks OF 1t
Growth and Encouraging
HROSpectSs

Prospects.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-Secretary
John Trimble, of the National Grange,
which meets in Sacramento, Novem-
Der ID, in its twenty-third annual ses-
sion, is here en- route for California.
Speaking of the growth of the order,
he says: at has increased more in
the last two years than in the pre-
vious fifteen. The year that ended
September 80 last was exceedingly
prosperous. We established over two
hundred oranges and the increase in
receipts have been nearly 80 per cent.
over the previous year. The order
embraces n great many members, how
many l cannot tell. / was once
quoted as saying that we had $780,.
600 members, but it was an error. If
you will take that number and divide
it by two and divide the results sever
al times you might horizontally re-
duce it so as to arrive at the approx
mate number. / could not come
within $4,000 of it myself. We have
organized $4,000 oranges in various
States and Territories, and we take
thirteen as the minimum number of
each grange. That will give you an
idea of our strength. We organized
a State grange in the new State of
Washington only two weeks ago.
Mr.. Trimble then charged the adj
ministration with having ignored the
rights of the farmer and having done
the farming community great in
justice in placing politician who
never was farmer, at the head of the
Department of Agriculture; in fact, he
says, the President snubbed them by
not appointing one OF their members
to the place.
