The Oklahoma Boomers Anxious to Get
Into the ''Promised Land"
ARKANSAS CITY, Kas., April 1.-THE pop
ulation OF this place has increased one-third
during the past week. Two thousand eager
and are along the line south of here. The half
dozen hardware stores have sold out their en-
tire stock and the demand is not half supplied.
The boomers are forming into small colonies of
go persons, and are devising schemes
to outwit their neighbors and get into the
heart of Oklahoma by the appointed time.
There is feeling all along the border that there
will be general forward movement into the
territory on the night of April 20. Boomers
who have been here all winter have picked out
their land, and they are suspicious and afraid
of the new corners. They don't propose to have
the land they fought and bled for jumped by
recent arrivals. The have pickets in
hiding in the Oklahoma woods who are keep
ing them posted. Word was received to-day
that the boomers on the Texas border were be-
coming very impatient and they were liable
to march IN before the 22d and seize their
claims before daylight on that date. A panicky
feeling prevails all around and threats of a very
sanguinary character are being made by old
boomers. They claim they developed the agi-
tation that led TO the opening of the territory,
and that now land sharks are trying to get pos
session of their property. The state line for
hundreds of miles is dotted with prairie
schooners." All are preparing for the flight
into the promised land. Many settlers, whose
geography is faulty are already from ten to
fifteen miles in the territory and still claim
they are in Kansas.

WHY THE CAT WAS KILLED
HE DIDN'T GO TO THE CIRCUS.
Other Stories For the Young Folks-A
Graceful Reproof-Robbie Thinks 1t All
Out-A Boys Sorrow Dividing
Blessings-KnottyP Problems.

No matter how strong may be every
link in a chain of circumstantial evidence,
there is always doubt, lack of certainty,
that should weaken it and cause us TO dis
trust it. l remember a story my grand
father used to tell of a case in which an
innocent life was sacrificed for a guilty
person.
A boy on a farm, for some misdemeanor,
was sentenced by his father, stern man,
with an eye to saving a half-prlce ticket,
10 be deprived Of his annual circus priv
ilege, and in addition to hoe so many rows
of corn while the rest OF the family took
in the lady's pad act, the bareback riding
of Jack Robinson, the club that killed
Capt. Cook, and other attractions OF the
great moral show. The boy watched the
wagon drive away, with tears in his eyes,
and then went at the corn rows with
determination to make short crop if 1t
could be worked without detection.
But ne grew hungry after while and
went into the house to investigate the
pantry. There were seven pies--it was
an American household-seven black
berry pies baked for Sunday; the boy who
was not feeling very well himself soon
placed his person anterior to six of the
pies, but paused thoughtfully with keen
regret midway on the seventh. One-halt
OF that he lett. He then caught the fam
lily cat thrust her nose and feet into the
pie, and dropped her on the clean, white
sanded floor of the pantry that she might
track around on ii. Then he went back
to his corn rows.
Evening brought the family home. The
boy saw them climb out of the big wagon.
He noted how the over-ripe apples fell
from the trees when his sister jumped
over the side and alighted fatfooted on
the ground. His father let himself
down over the double-trees and got
himself kicked twice by the roam
colt. He saw his mother waiting pa
tiently until somebody had time and in
clination to take the baby. He saw his
grandmother perch herself on the hub of
the hind wheel on one foot, while she
made vague, circumferential, wandering
excursions for the wide, wide world with
the other. He saw his brothers let them
selves down over the tailgate and sneak
away to avoid doing any work. At last
the wagon was empty, and there were
visible signs of excitement about the
house.
''The raid is discovered" said the boy.
cutting the roots of healthy stalk OF
corn, and carefully killing up a vigorous
lance-weed. Presently he saw his father
come out of the house with a gun over
his shoulder and the cat under his arm.
1.-THE culprit is arrested" remarked the
young robber as he leaned thoughtfully
upon his hoe and watched his father dis
appear behind the barn. The sharp re-
port OF gun rang out upon the quiet OF
the sunset hour.
There" said the boy with the conf
dent expression of one who knows what
he is talking about, ''there goes another
victim TO circumstantial evidence"

for all, until the accumulation is sufficient
to buy a suitable tract of land.
Up to this time a member may with
draw, but after the land is bought he SIM
ply has a right to his lot at cost and
without any profits going to middlemen
or spectators, the object being to enable
the poor to get homes they could nerve
acquire singly. When the land is bought
and paid for, and it must be paid for-as
the seller must secure his pay or be un-
able to collect it subsequently-the dues
will continue TO be collected until each
man has paid in one-third of the money
necessary to build his house. Not until
then will there be any mortgaging, but as
soon as the 80 per cent. for building is ac-
cumulated the association will contract at
wholesale rates, and mortgages be given
the contractors, and so the grind will
60 on. If man does not want
his house so soon he can hold off
until his stock is worth the
whole amount necessary to pay for the
building. The law under which the cor
poration is formed does not allow it to 60
into debt 1t may lend, but must not Dor
row. After the first series has run its
course, 1t is the purpose TO start another
for people who may wish to build more
expensive houses, and they will be al
lowed to pay S. or more a week, and they
can build Queen Annes or any other kind
of palaces they see fit, but the primary
object is to assist the very poor, some
thing after the fashion OF the old time
''bee" or 'frolic."
The pioneers by these methods did
their heavy work, such as log rolling,
house building, etc, work that could not
be done by individual effort, and in DAYS
when the individual had no money with
which to hire help. The promoters feel
sanguine of success, and expect to revo-
)utionize building and loan methods,
which they say are not adequate to pro-
vide very poor people with homes, as
man who can only save 81 week cannot
in a lifetime secure Leverage
in the present building associations suffi-
cient to buy himself a comfortable home.
A meeting for organization has been called
for Saturday evening. 1t is estimated that
If 10000 houses worth 81 900 each all cost
ing 100000, were built, half of it would
be labor; S5,0O0,O00 which would be con-
sumed, for if not put into this shape it
would go into products the making of
which add but little to the wealth of
country and less to the comfort of the
purchasers. The argument is similar to
that of political economists. that there is
no money profit in making whisky-unless
the product is sold in foreign countries.
They, in this case, look at it in the light
that little exhilaration now and then is
not profitable.

eight, was asked to say grace-a pleasant
duty with which she was sometimes in

the younger ones delinquency, and the
opportunity was not to be neglected.

While musing, I sat by my Office fire
Watching the flames burn low, then higher.
From the Goals genie seemed to rise,
With form transparent and piercing eyes.
Few clothes he wore, but on his back
He bore what seemed a mystic sack,
Filled TO the brim with heads and hearts
OF living things and other parts.
No word he spoke, but looking round,
An Eastern arrow soon he found;
From his mystic store head he took
And clapped il on with knowing look,
When before us rose with feathers sable,
A monstrOus bird well known in fable;
But ere the bird away had flown,
A tail affixed changed il to stone.
As the inert mass before us lies,
Anextra head soon makes il rise
A badger fierce, with teeth and claws,
Menacing all with swapping jaws
But "a change of heart" soon ends the strife
Removing beast, destroying life;
Now what remained was nothing new
For builders use il, and others too.
