THE RIGHT KIND OF A DOCTOR.
He Spanks a Boy Who Pretended to
Have Hydrophobia.

ANsoNIA, Conn.,, April 1S.-TSpecial Tele-
gram to The BEE. IA few weeks ago boy
living with George Curtis, farmer of Camp
vile, near Waterbury, was out hunting
woodchucks with Mr.. Curtis dog. He came
home and showed few scratches which he
said had been made by the dog just after
that animal had been worrying awoodchucF.
Yesterday the boy showed signs of hydro
phobia. He went through all the frightful
symptoms till doctor was called The doctor
glanced at the boys eyes, felt of his pulse,
and demanded glass of water. He was
warned that the sight of water would cause
another and more violent spasm, but he in
sisted on its being brought Lifting the boys
head on his arm he held the water to his lips
and after some time persuaded the patient to
drink it, This he did, and to the surprise of
all no spasms followed. DR.. Virgins then
stood the boy on his feet, called for slipper,
and taking him across his knee administered
a strong dose of practical medicine on the
bare skin. This heroic treatment was en-
tirely successful and the boy now shows not
the slightest sign Of rabies, acknowledging
that after all doing chores was easier than
shamming hydrophobia.

A Puzzle for Medical Men.

DUBUQUE, a., April 17.-lSpecial Telegram
to The BEE. IA year ago George Lucas,
while crazed with drink fired bullet into
his BRAIN After long sickness he recov-
cred, and has since appeared daily on the
streets. About six months ago he was at
tackled with an epleptic fit, and has had sew
eral since. The wound did not entirely heal,
but has discharged matter and bits of bone.
Yesterday he told his physician that he felt
something in his head. The wourd was
rrobed and hard substance was detected,
and by forceps was drawn nearly to the sur
face. To-day Lucas was chloroformed, and
the doctor drew out bullet in the shape of
n rivet fastened on the inside. 1t had pene-
trated the front lobe of the brain over an
inch. Lucas began to improve at once, and
it is believed that he will entirely recover.
This case is the wonder of the medical men
of this vicinity.

An Undiminisned Caravan.

WELLINGTON, Kan, April 1S.-The stream
of prairie schooners, moving southwark, has
not diminished. The streets of the city
are filed with boomers, and they continue to
pour in from the northwest and west. FIRE.
quently six to ten wagons and teams are in
cluded in one outfit. Such an Immigration
was never before witnessed in this section.
Old settlers familiar with the Cim-
marron river, which all settlers en-.
terlng Oklahoma from the northwest
must cross, says it waters are very high and
it is as much as mans life is worth to cross
it in its swollen condition. Its bed is COM
posed in large part of shifting quicksand
and where q safe crossing can be made, to-
morrow lin all probability the same place
would be n death trap. Many parties who
intended to go from here with teams will go
by rail, being fearful of serious accidents in
fording this river.

The Mad Rush of Mu,t,tudes.

ARKANSAS Cry, Ark, April Isl Special
Telegram TO THE BEE. THE rush across the
Indian ferry line into the Cherokee strip to-
day. has been like the awful rush of multi
tudes fleeing from a panic. Within radius
of six miles over twelve hundred wagons
loaded with boomers and their families and
household goods, were seen on their way TO
Oklahoma. At one point an unbroken line
of covered wagons, ten miles long, could be
seen this morning pushing on through the
Cherokee strip, and every road is literally
blocIaded with wagons, carts and horsemen,
while thousands of men are YEARLY wend-
ing their way on loot regardless of the mud
and water. 1he roads are already so badly
cut up that wagons are getting stuck in mud
holes, and all over the country is
heard the shouts of the impatient
drivers, urging their exhausted ANIMALS
forward. 1t is estimated that fully ten thous-
and people left this vicinity last night and
to-day and the campers that have not al
ready gone are pulling up and moving to-
ward Oklahoma. 1t was first intended by
the interior Departmental to keep the military
on duty on the borders Of the Indian Terri
tory till tomorrow but when 1T was decided
to permit the boomers to enter Indian LANDS
en- route to Oklahoma to-day, the boomers
were not long in finding it out, and the rush
began at once. Some men whose wagons
are heavily laden are throwing away part of
their loads so they will not be left behind in
the rush, and in many instances the people
seem bereft OF reason in their wild impetuos-
ity to reach the forbidden land. Ready-made
houses are being loaded on fat
cars at various points along the
Santa Fc ready to ship to Oklahoma on the
22d, and large stocks of merchandise, hotel
equipments, drugs, cigars, and everything
else necessary to start up town are being
conveyed to the line, ready to cross at the
earliest possible moment. II ls estimated
that within ten hours after the opening of
Oklahoma there will be fifty thousand peo-
pie in the territory, and the most rapid town
building ever known will surely be done in
here at the rate of about n thousand a day,
and every road is lined with wagons passing
by the town, hurrying on to get across the
line. Parties just in from the south report
large colony of North Carolina negroes
en- route to Oklahoma by wagons
and on horseback from Fort Smith,
Ark. The colony is about three hundred
strong, and the intentions are to settle to-
gether, have their own town, elect their own
officers and govern themselves. They are
coming through the Cherokee nation, and ex-
pect to locate in the extreme eastern part of
Oklahoma. A soldier colony, about nine
hundred strong, is preparing to enter the
territory in body and take up land in the
western part of Oklahoma. Many of the old
soldiers are familiar with the country, having
been there during their service in the army,
and all are extremely anxious TO get home
steads in the territory.

THE SOUTHERN QUESTION.

PHILADELPHIA, April tS.-The Inquirer
will publish tomorrow Interviews which IL
has collected with prominent politicians of
the southern states In answer to the ques-
tion: "What is the southern questionln
and "How to be met to produce the greatest
good TO the southi'' The responses nearly
all voiced the same sentiment-that the
race problem is the great one to be
solved, and that the south should
be allowed TO manage her own
affairs without interference. Among the
most prominent gentlemen from whom re-
plies were received are: Governor Richard
son, of South Carolina; Governor Lee, of
Virginia; Governor Buckner, of Kentucky;
Attorney General Miller, of Mississippi, and
Lieutenant-Governo Mauldin, of South Car
olina. The tenor or their replies is contained
manly in that Of Governor Richardson, who
says: "The southern question is the
race problem-shall the African or
the Caucasian predominatel The solution
is strict avoidance by the general
government of any distinctively southern
policy, and leaving to the states themselves
the management of their own domestic af-
fairs. Governor Buckner, of Kentucky,

tinue to attend to their own affairs and
unite in supporting the general government

Mississippi, says that the contrast
between the negro and white
government has been so decidedly in favor of
the latter that the white people are deter

indeed, a military despotism would be pre-

had been smashed over a stove, and the floor
Of the room presented a "brolten-up" appear
