The rain last Wednesday was the
heaviest that has fallen in this vicinity
within the past three years. The ground
was thoroughly soaked, and some dam
age done to listed corn on rolling land.
Our people have generally given up all
fears OF dry season this year The
following will go to Oklahoma from this
vicinity: Messrs. Graham, Hill, Tschop,
Leon Beals, Porter, Simms, Melvin

The papers announce that it is more
than probable that another appalling
marine disaster has happened in the
transatlantic steamship service. The
Denmark with over 700 persons, mostly
emigrants, on board, sailed from Chris
tiansend. Denmark, March Is. She was
discovered on the Sth inst, abandoned
and apparently sinking. No news of
the fate of her passengers or crew had
been received in Europe or America up
to late last night. The New York
agency of the Thingvalla Line express
hope that they have been saYed, but the
indications of such good fortune do not
appear To be encouraging.

OKLAHOMA.

Ii every quarter-section of land in the
Oklahoma now open is taken, but IL .OOC
settlers can be accommodated. 1t IS es.
timated that fully $4,000 applicants Will
be there in search of homesteads. OF
the 1000 quarter sections, not more
than one -half are fit for cultivation SO
1t is safe to say that 10000 boomers will
be disappointed. 1t is reasonable to
suppose that many of the disappointed
ones will go further north and west and
if they do, Barber county will undoubt-
eddy get its share of the overflow. Our
people may prepare for the influx, we
think, about the first of May. 1t will
take several days to satisfy some of the
boomers that they have no claims.
There IS diversity of opinion as to
what an Oklahoma settler should first
do. Some think he should file first /;
others think that he should actually set
tie on the land and attend to the filing
afterward. The lands in question are
homestead lands, and section 2l5 of the
Revised Homestead Laws, reads as fol-
lows:
Amy settler who has settled, or who
snail hereafter settle, on any of the pub
TIC lands OF the United States, whether
surveyed or unsurveYed, with the inten-
ton of claiming the same under the
homestead laws shall be allowed the
same time $50 days. to file bis home
stead application and perfect his origI-
nal entry in the United States land Of
lice, as Is now allowed to settlers
under the presumption laws, to put
their claims on record, and his right
shall relate back to the date of settle
ment, the same as if he settled under
the presumption laws.''
Section 1873 of the Presumption Laws,
by the section above quoted, is made ap-
plicable to homesteads. The section is
as follows:
Every claimant under the pre-emp-
tlon law for land not yet proclaimed for
sale Is required to make known his
claim in writing to the register of the
proper land Office within three months
from the time of settlement; otherwise
his claim shall be forfeited and the
tract awarded to the next settler, in the
order of time, on the same tract of land,
who has given such notice and other
wise complied with the conditions Of
the law"
The citizen who makes actual settle
ment, as above specified, before anyone
has filed on the claim, If his settlement
be but minute ahead OF the filing and
he can prove it by reliable witnesses,
will hold his claim against all contest
ants.
There is nothing to hinder citizen
from going to the land Office and filing
OH any claim'not before filed on, under
section 2l3 of the Homestead laws, and
his filing will hold good over actual set
Element made after his filing, but should
anyone have made settlement on his
claim previous to his filing, if only a
few minutes, and the occupant can
prove his priority of time, the filer
would not only lose his claim, but
would be barred from the right of eyer
again filing on public domain, unless
by special process the secretary of the
interior should restore his right.
The filler, should his claim be unoccu-
pied at the hour or minute his filing is
recorded, be he soldier or civilian, has
six months in which TO make settle
ment on his claim.

A few months ago, twenty towns in
Kansas were figuring with alleged sugar
companies to get plants established. Al
this time, so far as we have learned
Meaue Center, Liberal and Attica are
the only towns that succeeded; but
Medicine Lodge, with its own capital
lists. laid the foundation for plant that
is to exceed anything heretofore at
tempted in this state Eldred Il Hin
man agreed to build plant with ca
pacity of 300 tons of cane per day; but
before ordering their machinery they
concluded 20 enlarge the capacity. and
so they ordered the machinery for a
25O-ton plant. Ground has been broken
for the plant and it will be erected and
in full operation by the time the first
cane is ripe--about July 18th fhe
plant here is TO be the best equipped of
any ever before built in the United
States. There Will be 4 guarantee that
it VIII make, this year, more sugar than
yyas turned out by the three factories in
Kansas last year. And the projectors
are not adyenturers-men expected to
build and operate their mill altogether
with pubIic aid Both of the owners
are men of ample means and they haYe
unlimited backing. They expect to
combine other industries with sugar
making, and they expect to make money
out Of their investment.
